Chapter 320 The outgoing team returned to the village
Shen Qing is already preparing breakfast.
After dinner last night, we had two more midnight snacks. The sweet red bean soup and the salty vegetable and lean meat porridge were constantly cooking and could be enjoyed at any time. No one was actually very hungry.
Jiang Yu added two more pots of red date millet porridge to change the taste, while Jiang Shui put the steamer on the table and started heating up the buns, steamed buns and steamed rolls.
They are all made in advance, just put them in the steamer and heat them directly.
Just after the hour of Mao, the porridge, buns, and so on were already cooked. Seeing the replacement coming over, Shen Qing shouted, "Come and have breakfast. You've worked hard all night. Eat well and go back to have a good sleep!"
Xu Lin, Yang Mu and other men stepped forward awkwardly and mumbled, "It's not hard."
They really don’t work hard!
I came to take over the shift last night and asked the men and women in the village to go back to rest and sleep. I said I was on duty, but there was no movement from the other side. The host gave me brown sugar water, red bean soup, and lean meat porridge. I didn't do any work, but I did eat a lot of food!
The master bought them to fight the enemy, but in the end they were of no use at all. Isn't it a waste of keeping them?
"How can it not be hard? Not being able to sleep the whole night is worse than working." Shen Qing said with a smile.
“But we didn’t help…”
Shen Qing interrupted: "Who said you didn't help? Is there a shortage of people here? Without you, the other people in the village can't go back. They are staying here, how can they have the energy to fight the enemy during the day?
We are all useful. After you have eaten your fill, go back and have a good sleep. There will be a lot of work waiting for you when you are well. "
Many men nodded heavily!
After being recognized, I felt my blood boiling and I felt like I had endless energy.
The handover between the two parties and breakfast were completed quickly and neatly.
In winter, the sun rises late, and Jiang Erye and others guessed that the enemy would attack under the cover of darkness. However, in the early morning, after staying up all night, everyone was sleepy, hungry and tired, which was the easiest opportunity.
Xu Lin and others came early last night, and they went back to bed early. After they came, they had a full stomach. Now they feel warm all over and full of energy!
Everyone is in their positions, torches lit at all times.
Two sticks of incense later, a number of men came out of the woods on the other side of the river, bending over.
They pretended not to see anything until the other party climbed up, then they started throwing stones and pouring cold water!
Unlike yesterday afternoon, the stones were not dumped one basket at a time, but were thrown one by one, and as they were thrown, they shouted, "Oh no, I have no strength left. Why can't I move this basket?"
"Oh no, oh no! Are you exhausted after staying up all night? Come down and have some rest!"
"My stomach is growling, I'm so sleepy and hungry I can't even lift my arms. I can't take it anymore. If they come back by noon, how will I have the strength left?"
"Yes, yes, let's all make a concerted effort to scare them away! Otherwise, by noon, we won't be able to hold out even without their attack!"
......
The man who was running around with his head covered under the wall suddenly had his eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Quick, retreat!"
"Walk!"
The retreating men quickly reported the discovery to Brother Wang and Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng said happily, "I didn't expect them to just hold on! This is God helping me. When we attack at noon, they won't be able to fight back!"
Brother Wang frowned: "We are all men, we shouldn't be exhausted after staying up all night..."
Liu Sheng interrupted proudly, "You don't know how poor they are! They must be starving. There's no salt, no oil, no water. They're so hungry that they have no strength left. And after staying up all night, even the strongest man can't stand it.
Besides, they are a group of people who live frugally."
It’s not like him, where he can eat as much grain and salt as he wants!
The uninjured man shouted loudly: "Yes, Boss Liu is right!"
“I think they’re just hungry.”
"We follow Boss Liu and have plenty of food and drink. How can we compare to a bunch of poor people like them?"
The injured man covered his bleeding head and said: ...Is this the force that a hungry person can throw?
*
By noon, everyone was ready to go and rushed forward with the determination to win.
But how could the people on the top of the wall look weak?
Basket after basket of stones poured down continuously;
Bucket after bucket of cold water was poured down;
Even braver than yesterday!
Who said I can’t lift my hands?
Who said I couldn't bear it anymore?
It would be a waste if these people didn't become actors!
This time, no one in the village showed any mercy.
Anyway, whether they fight or not, they will be unable to bear it and will have to retreat after noon. It is better to hit them hard at once. It would be best if they all get injured, so seriously that they can no longer do evil!
Liu Sheng, who was originally full of confidence, looked at his men running away with their heads in their hands, wailing one by one, and was shocked and angry!
It’s all over. How am I going to explain this to Nanny Lai when I get back?
Wouldn't she skin her alive?
"Boss Liu, we've fallen into a trap! Should we charge forward or not?"
Liu Sheng said without hesitation: "Charge! If you can't catch Huo Bing, none of you will get the silver!"
After hearing this, the men below gritted their teeth and rushed forward again.
But there seemed to be so many stones that they could never be used up, and they would pour down as soon as you got close to them!
Seeing that it was impossible, the scarred man turned around and shouted angrily: "Let's go! We worked hard and got hurt, why don't you give us money?
If Liu Sheng dares to withhold our money, we will make him pay!"
"Yes!" All the men immediately agreed!
The village opposite is impregnable. If we rush down again, we will die!
But there is only one Liu Sheng. Wouldn't it be easy to catch him and ask him to give us money?
Liu Sheng was dumbfounded, looking at them in shock, and stammered: "You, you..."
"Let's go. Grandpa doesn't care whether the job is done or not. Chinese New Year is the day after tomorrow! I need to see the silver so I can go home for the New Year!"
"It's not our fault that the task didn't work out. The other party is too strong. Even if you replace them, they won't be able to accomplish the task either! Anyway, the money can't be less."
"If you dare to shortchange me, I'll kill you!"
.....
Shen Qing and others on the observation deck saw that Liu Sheng was almost carried away by a group of ferocious men.
Jiang Ying clapped her hands and said, "Great, great, he found these people and used them on himself."
Then he asked worriedly, "I wonder where Bing and the others are at this hour? I'm afraid we'll run into them on the way back."
We shouldn't collide, right?
Another thing that is worrying is that Huo Bing and his companions are staying in villages along the way, and they have to keep an eye on whether Liu Sheng and others have returned. What if they are accidentally discovered?
At night, the gong sounded again.
This time it was a sound that represented a happy event, meaning that people who had been away had returned to the village.
There were people in the team from every household. They all got up and put on their coats and went out of the house.
