The next morning, when I got up and looked down from a high building, I saw that there was no one on the street, which made people panic.
When Song Yuehua was about to go to the hut to make arrangements, Pei Feng jumped down from somewhere and said, "Girl, there are enemy troops outside the city wall."
"Enemy?" Song Yuehua asked hurriedly, "How do you know?"
"The defenders in the city just went towards the wall. I went outside to take a look and saw troops attacking the city." Pei Feng said.
Song Yuehua was a little nervous. This was her first time facing war.
"girl……"
After being called, Song Yuehua came back to her senses and said, "Go and help me take down the sign outside the shop."
Although I'm not sure if it will be of any use, if the enemy enters the city and wants to burn, kill and loot, they will probably choose some shops that look more luxurious.
Pei Feng quickly came in carrying a sign.
Song Yuehua said to him, "Tell Xiaoqing about the situation and ask him to keep an eye on the outside."
"good."
After Pei Feng left, Song Yuehua calmed down and went back to work. When she passed the backyard, she retreated.
I saw Xiaoyu, Xiaomian and Shitou gathered against the back wall, discussing something.
"What are you doing?" Song Yuehua came over and asked.
Xiaoyu pointed to a dog hole in the back wall and said, "There's a dog hole here. I'll ask Shitou to dig it deeper down. If necessary, we can escape from here."
Song Yuehua took a look, then went around to the dog hole from outside to take a look. It was just a dark alley, and the stone slabs were covered with moss.
"Okay, go ahead and dig it, but don't let people outside find out, and don't dig too big." Song Yuehua said to a few others.
The three of them were finally happy because they could finally do something.
The situation remained deadlocked for seven or eight days. Chinese New Year was approaching tomorrow, and just when Song Yuehua thought she could at least spend this New Year's Eve safely.
After one night, the rich families in the city suffered heavy casualties, all their property was lost, and the man guarding the city was found killed in his home.
The whole city closed its doors and windows, and dared not make the slightest noise.
"Sister Xiaoyu, are we going to die here?"
After learning about the current situation in the city from Pei Feng, Liu Xiaomian was scared and cried.
The other people in the room also looked unhappy.
"We have a place to hide. Sister knows archery and Brother Pei Feng knows how to fight. If anything happens, just don't make trouble." Xiaoyu comforted.
Song Yuehua took out a piece of linen and some jars and asked her to sew a few handbags.
It should be able to accommodate small oil tanks, tie ropes at both ends and loosen one by pulling.
"Sister, do you know how to do it specifically?" Xiaoyu asked.
Song Yuehua shook her head. "I'm not very clear about this. I'm just telling you my needs."
"Then I'll think of a solution." Xiaoyu and Xiaomian took the things away together to think about it.
Shitou also ran over and said to Song Yuehua, "Sister Song, I know where the oil shop has oil. I'll go get you some oil."
"Call Pei Feng, if anyone comes, they will pay." Song Yuehua said.
After talking with a few people, Song Yuehua came to the cabin and looked at the scene on the street.
Ginkgo Street is a bit of a remote place, so even if someone wanted to rob someone, they wouldn't come here.
At night, Pei Feng was guarding the rooftop. Song Yuehua wanted to switch shifts with him, but he refused.
In the next few days, nothing happened here, but they heard that reinforcements had arrived from outside and were fighting fiercely with the previous enemy forces.
Even though the situation outside was improving, there were people in this city who were taking advantage of the situation. All kinds of monsters and demons appeared while the defenders in the city were unprepared.
One day, Song Yuehua looked out from the hut and saw four men carrying big swords, walking towards them.
Song Yuehua called out to Pei Feng, and then she set up the bow and arrow that she had prepared long ago, "Who do you think is the most powerful among these four people?"
"The shortest one, followed by the tallest one." Pei Feng said after looking for a while.
There was a long arrow on the bow, and Song Yuehua was holding an arrow in her mouth. She pulled the bowstring to its full length, released one arrow, and then another.
The long arrow flew through the air and pierced the dwarf's head.
Before they could react, the tall man was shot through the chest by an arrow.
The remaining two people suddenly looked in the direction of the arrow. When Song Yuehua was about to shoot again, the other party was on guard.
At some point, Pei Feng had already flown over and started fighting with the remaining two men.
Song Yuehua seized the opportunity and knocked down another person. After Pei Feng killed the last person, he pulled out the three long arrows and threw all the bodies into a nearby river.
This is just the beginning.
After Pei Feng came back, Song Yuehua asked him, "Can you tell the identities of these four people?"
"He looks like a regular servant." Pei Feng said.
Song Yuehua couldn't figure it out, "If he was an official, how come people in the city didn't know him?"
Pei Feng explained, "Some people who didn't become officials went to work as thugs in gambling houses and brothels, or as guards for wealthy families."
I see.
Song Yuehua asked Pei Feng to go to Xiaoqing and Xiang Chen's residence to check if anything had happened.
Shitou, Xiaoyu, Xiaomian and the others came over and asked, "Sister Song, is there something wrong?"
"Yes,"
Song Yuehua called a few people over and said to them, "Let's make a deal first. If something happens, you should do whatever I tell you to do. No one is allowed to be stubborn or hold me back."
"good."
Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and asked, "Sister, should I not stay here?"
"well……"
Song Yuehua sighed, "Let's not talk too much now. It's better for you guys to stay by my side so that you can see and take care of Xiaoqing. It's not necessarily safe there."
"I'm sorry, sister, I wanted to help you." Xiaoyu said with her head down.
Song Yuehua patted her head and said, "You have already helped me."
The several cloth bags for oil bottles made by Xiaoyu are very important, although Song Yuehua hopes that they will never be used.
Song Yuehua said, "Please make a few more of those cloth bags for me. It would be best if you can fit more."
"Sister, I'll sew a few more for you." Xiaoyu said quickly.
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "You have to promise to be obedient from now on and not have your own ideas at the critical moment, okay?"
"Um."
It was a long time before Pei Feng came back. Xiaoqing's yard was abandoned. He and Xiang Chen took a group of little girls and hid in a dilapidated farmer's house.
"Why doesn't he come here?" Song Yuehua asked.
Pei Feng said, "That house also belongs to Xiaoqing. His food is hidden there. Besides, it is a shantytown, so no one would come there to rob."
It is safer to be poor than to be rich now, even if you live in a shantytown.
"Girl, there is one more thing..." Pei Feng said, "The river mouth is blocked and we can't get out."
Song Yuehua was stunned for a moment. Was it the man from that night?
Or is it Hou Xiaoer’s gang?
However, no matter who she is, she can't escape from there with Xiaoyu and Xiaomian.
Let it be blocked.
