Chapter 54 Chapter 054 The thieves attacked at night.
Jiang Tian and others were already grateful to the Xie family. After arriving at Qinjia Village, they learned that the young lady had built a palace for them and had the ability to keep them. So they immediately chose to surrender to Xie Yaer. After just over ten days, Jiang Tian closed the escort agency and brought hundreds of people in the agency to Qinjia Village with their families.
Xie Yaer had already made arrangements. She first asked the villagers to rent some houses. After that, Jiang Tian and the others who came out of the escort agency naturally became concerned about their own houses and began to help the Qin family. At the same time, after learning that the Baiyuzhi workshop in the village was the most important industry of the young lady, Jiang Tian, Yue Wang, Xia Heng and others who had the highest martial arts value began to guard the Baiyuzhi workshop every day.
The Qin family has a foodie like Qin Yuan, and with flour, they can make a lot of food. Even if it snows in winter, the people guarding the Baiyuzhi workshop can have an extra meal of noodles at night. Who wouldn't be happy?
The most important asset in the village is the Baiyuzhi workshop. Village chief Qin treats it like the apple of his eye. After learning that these distinguished guests carrying long swords are all skilled fighters, he confidently handed over the task of guarding the workshop at night to these distinguished guests. Every night, thirty-five brothers patrol the workshop, working in shifts to prevent anything from happening outside the workshop.
In addition, there are people in the Baiyuzhi workshop. After all, the fire needs to be kept burning to make Baiyuzhi. Some people in the village go to chop wood, and some stay in the workshop every day. Although this winter is cold and there is a lot of snow, everyone can eat their fill. With wheat flour, every household can make pancakes. Those who go out to work can eat from the village's big pot, which can save a lot of food.
It snowed heavily again in the past two days, and it was freezing cold at night. Only the martial artists outside the Baiyuzhi workshop were full of energy and sat around the fire roasting meat.
That's right. When Qin Yuan learned that these people were on guard day and night, she decided to arrange five sheep every day for these distinguished guests guarding the Baiyuzhi workshop. This almost bought out all the sheep from her second aunt's family, leaving only some lambs.
At this moment, sitting around the fireplace, Xia Heng and others all had rosy faces. Since they came to Qinjia Village, they no longer had to sleep in the open air like they did when they were escorting goods. What's more, the young lady took care of their family in every aspect. Not only did she have a new house to live in, but she could also arrange suitable jobs for their wives. They were so happy.
"Third Young Master, it's good that you're learning swordsmanship from Brother Lu Qing, but among all of us, I'm the best at horseback riding. Why don't I teach you later?"
When Yue Wang learned that Lu Qing, as the martial arts master of the Qin family, was paid much more money every month, he was very excited. Although the Qin family did not have any horses now, this was not a problem for the young lady at all.
They came with a group of people, and brought a lot of donkeys with them, so we can try to learn first.
"Well, I'll trouble you, Brother Yue."
Qin Yu nodded. He also participated in the night watch. After practicing martial arts for a month, he became much stronger, all thanks to Lu Qing's exclusive prescriptions. These VIPs all had some martial arts methods that could not be passed on to others. The most important things for Lu Qing were the medicinal baths and prescriptions used in martial arts. The fact that he could bring them out was enough to show his loyalty to Xie Yaer.
At this moment, except for Xia Heng who was staring at the roast meat turning over the fire, everyone else was busy. Everyone held the cleanest cloth in their hands and their own treasures in their palms. Du Tong wiped his trident, and its sharpness could be seen in the firelight at night. Guan Jian was the same. He kept wiping the sword body that was already flashing with firelight, and his bearded appearance could be seen.
The same thing happened to Qin Yu. The thing in his hand was the crossbow arrow given by his daughter. He had taken it off after shooting a tiger. He had to wipe it every day. It was even said that used weapons needed to be polished. After Qin Yu asked Lu Qing, he found a whetstone and polished it every day to prevent the weapon given by his daughter from becoming blunt.
"Third Young Master, this is the first time I've seen such a powerful weapon like yours. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that such a weapon existed in the world. If this thing were placed on the battlefield, it would surely be able to kill the enemy within a hundred meters!"
Yue Wang couldn't help but scan the crossbow in Qin Yu's hand with greedy eyes. After following him to the back mountain to hunt two days ago and seeing the power of the crossbow with his own eyes, Yue Wang felt that the Xie family was unfathomable and the young lady should not be underestimated.
Qin Yu was a farmer who had never learned kung fu before, but he could hold such a sharp weapon and shoot the wolf's eyes from a hundred meters away. This was enough to prove that Qin Yu was gifted and that this magical weapon was hard to find.
"Yeah." Qin Yu was not good at talking, even with these martial artists. But when he heard them praising the crossbow, he curled up the corners of his lips and moved his hands more carefully. This was the weapon his daughter gave him, and he must cherish it very much.
'Cuckoo cuckoo! '
'Cuckoo cuckoo! '
At this moment, the sounds of birds suddenly came from the forest behind the Baiyuzhi workshop. Jiang Tian immediately clenched the sword in his hand and sneered.
"It seems someone couldn't help themselves and turned out to be a night visitor."
Du Tong also stood up from the ground, his sword polished to a shine.
"Let me see which scoundrel dares to do this!"
Yue Wang suddenly jumped up with joy, holding two sledgehammers and hitting his chest with them.
"Now that the thieves have left me alone, at least the young lady will know my old man's strength."
Everyone was actually a little excited. Although Qin Yu didn't understand what the bird's cry had to do with the newcomers, he got up immediately, with the crossbow in his hand loaded. He held the crossbow with a vigilant look.
"Brothers, move! Keep your voices down! Let's get these thieves out of the way so we can catch them in the trap!!!"
Jiang Tian whispered this and everyone started laughing, then dispersed in all directions tacitly. Even though it was night and the ground of the Baiyuzhi workshop was covered with snow, these martial artists were all tall, but they passed by like a swallow, leaving no trace and making no sound.
Everyone scattered around the Baiyuzhi workshop, with someone still guarding the fire. Qin Yu, following Jiang Tian and the others, was also nervous. After all, the Baiyuzhi workshop belonged to his daughter, and he would never allow anything to happen there!!!
It should have been a dark and windy day, but in the pitch-black night, the snow was surprisingly bright and frightening. However, the snow on the Baiyuzhi workshop had been cleared every day, and it had blended in with the night.
In the darkness, there were several men lying in a haystack under the snow, talking quietly.
"I've figured it out. The people sent by the Xie family are all in the front! They start eating mutton at this time every night. Can you smell it? The aroma of mutton! We're doing it secretly in the back, they definitely won't know!"
At this time, he had his head wrapped in a dirty cloth, revealing his two eyes, and was glared at by his companion when he spoke.
"Shut up!"
It’s so quiet!
Apart from the faint light from the Baiyuzhi workshop ahead, the surroundings were indeed quite quiet. They knew that the patrol team would patrol back and forth five times every hour, so they were waiting for the next wave of patrols.
At this moment, a few warriors really came, with long swords hanging on their waists. When they came to inspect the surroundings, several people buried in the snow immediately lay down. After the people left and there was no movement, they raised their heads.
"They're gone! Hurry, get down!"
As they were urged, two people immediately ran over carefully holding the black jar. They didn't know that someone on the dark roof had already seen them.
Jiang Tian was not stupid. He made a patrol plan, and several of his brothers were good at keeping watch, so he arranged them to stand guard on the roof of the Baiyuzhi workshop every day. Therefore, he could see everything these people did.
The young lady said that Bai Yuzhi's reputation is becoming more and more famous. Once it gets out, there will definitely be people who want to test Qinjia Village. Therefore, this first group of people must be dealt with properly to make an example of them!!!
The two men were seen stealthily approaching the Baiyuzhi workshop with two jars, and were pouring something on the wall when, the next moment, several people suddenly rushed out from the darkness on the side. Before the two men could react, they were instantly knocked to the ground by Yue Wang's two hammers.
But the two of them refused to give up! One of them immediately shouted in pain.
“Ignite! Ignite!!!”
The few people who had been hiding in the snow immediately lit their tinderboxes, and the next second, they used a special slingshot to shoot towards the wall of the Baiyuzhi workshop!
"Oh no! They are going to set a fire!!!" Jiang Tian smelled the kerosene and instantly understood what they meant. He swung the sword in his hand towards the sky with great accuracy, blocking one of the fire starters!
Next came Qin Yu's crossbow, which instantly hit the fire starter in the sky. Others followed suit and threw out their weapons, actually blocking the soft fire starter in the sky!
“Catch them!!!!”
Jiang Tian shouted loudly, his hair standing on end in anger! Everyone rushed straight towards the few people who threw the fire sticks. Those people also wanted to throw the things away and run away, but there were warriors behind them, and each of them was very fast. After a while, they were pressed down by the people behind them.
"Brother Jiang! We caught six idiots!!!"
"And more! These last two, eight idiots in total!!!"
The colleagues, who were relieved, pulled off the masks of these people and found seven unfamiliar faces. One of them was actually an acquaintance in the village!
"Qin Ergou?"
Qin Yu frowned, recognizing the man as a clan uncle from the village. This clan uncle had become addicted to gambling and nearly sold his wife and children. It was the village chief who helped resolve the matter, but he never expected to show up in this place...
Qin Ergou was found, his face was pale, but he was being strangled by the back of his neck and couldn't utter a word.
He only knew that the village had arranged for someone to guard outside the Baiyuzhi workshop, but he didn't know so much!
More than thirty people surrounded them, each one looking ferocious and ferocious. Qin Ergou was so frightened that his legs were shaking. He wanted to ask Qin Yu for help, but he could only make whimpering sounds...
