Liu Yazi was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead. He nodded vigorously, "They really brought knives! I saw the reflection on the blades! And there were so many of them, their torches lit up the whole way!"
Late at night, a large group of people carrying knives came to their village, and they even had people stationed in all directions. It was definitely not a good thing!
Jiang Qinyu decisively said, "Everyone, don't panic! Everyone go back and grab your weapons right now!" After saying that, she turned to Chen Shi and said, "Mother, you and Aunt Meng take all the children in the village and hide in the cellar. Make sure it's safe before you come out!"
"Alright, alright, we'll go right away..." Madam Chen hurriedly got up, knocking over the stool in the process, but still turned back to Jiang Qinyu and said, "Qinyu, you have to be careful too!"
After saying that, she and Meng hurriedly went to the children's table and took all the children away.
Seeing Jiang Qinyu's composure, Village Chief Li's panicked heart calmed down, and he began to direct everyone methodically, "Don't just stand there like idiots! We've been training hard these past few months, so no matter who comes, don't be afraid!"
"That's right! We can't back down! Everyone, think about all the crops we have in our fields waiting to grow. We absolutely can't let those ill-intentioned bastards ruin them. If they dare to make a move, beat them to death!"
Grandpa Jiang drank two glasses of wine and was a little unsteady when he stood up, but what he said was inspiring.
"Liu Yazi can see the knives in their hands. They'll be entering the village in about fifteen minutes. Everyone, hurry up and grab your weapons and block all the entrances to the village. We can't let anyone in!" Village Chief Li roared.
The watchtower in Dingshui Village could see the firelight five miles away, but the reflection on the knife could be seen at least two miles away.
It takes a normal person about seven minutes to walk one kilometer briskly, but the road into Dingshui Village from the main road is difficult to walk, so the time will be doubled, which is about fifteen minutes.
"We haven't finished our food yet! Quick, quick, let's put it away and leave it. We might still be able to eat it after we finish eating!" Aunt Qin led a group of women to quickly clean up the leftover food on the table.
When Granny Wang heard that someone had broken in, she panicked and ran to Wang Bo's side, grabbing his sleeve and saying anxiously, "Xiao Bo, shouldn't we hurry up and hide in the mountains? Those people have knives!"
Wang Bo flung her hand away, "Mother, what are you saying? Hurry up and go with Aunt Qin and the others!"
Having a mother like that is exhausting. Doesn't she see that there's no one in the village who's afraid of anyone? If he takes his family and runs away to the mountains now, how will he ever have the face to come back?
It would be a lie to say that Wang Bo wasn't afraid, after all, he had done it before... Anyway, this time he didn't want to run away so easily again!
On Jiang Qinyu's side, Chen Hong, Liu Ruyi, and other women surrounded her.
"Sister-in-law Lu, what should we do? Should we hide?" Liu Ruyi asked nervously, biting her lip.
She had originally spent money to send a letter to her maternal grandparents in the capital, hoping to return before the New Year. However, she had not received a reply for two months. Since she could not go out alone, she had no choice but to stay in Dingshui Village.
But Dingshui Village doesn't support idlers, so she begged the village chief to let her temporarily become a part of Dingshui Village, working alongside everyone and earning four work points a day in order to survive.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen on New Year's Eve? Liu Ruyi's face had turned pale and her legs were trembling.
Seeing Liu Ruyi's attitude, Chen Hong was speechless and blurted out, "Why are you hiding? Have you forgotten all the skills that Sister-in-law Lu taught us? If anyone dares to bully us later, you'd better fight back!"
Jiang Qinyu gave Chen Hong an approving look, then her gaze swept over the women. "Don't be afraid, everyone. Look over there, Uncle Village Chief has already led his men over. Let's do it as we've always trained, in groups of three. If anyone tries to hurt us, let them see what it means for women to hold up half the sky!"
After saying that, she added, "But it's not our turn to go on stage yet, everyone follow me."
"We'll listen to Sister-in-law Lu!"
"Yes, listen to your sister-in-law, everyone don't be afraid, follow along!"
"My husband just told me that I should just stay close to my sister-in-law and there's nothing to be afraid of..."
Jiang Qinyu led the people back to her own home, because her home was at the entrance of the village, so she could know about any commotion there immediately.
The courtyard was quiet. Shufan and Pan'er had been taken away by Chen and were hiding in the cellar of the ancestral hall. Jiang Qinyu had no worries for the time being.
She has about thirty people on her side, all of whom are outstanding trainees who usually train with her.
After arranging for everyone, Jiang Qinyu took out a freight elevator from her spatial storage and set it up against the courtyard wall, then stood on it to observe the situation outside.
"Sister-in-law Lu, this ladder is quite convenient. I'll ask my dad to make one for me sometime." Chen Hong was a little envious as she saw a folding ladder for the first time.
Jiang Qinyu did not reply, because at this moment, the long-lost system voice suddenly rang in her mind.
[Ding! Last quest item detected. Please collect it as soon as possible to unlock the entire first floor of the supermarket!]
Jiang Qinyu initially didn't want to pay attention, but then she remembered that there seemed to be an outdoor adventure club on the first floor, which contained a lot of useful items, so she opened the map in her mind.
Then they discovered that the quest item was actually garlic sprouts grown in their own yard...
Okay, the system does require one pound of fresh vegetables to unlock items, and her garlic sprouts only grew to the required quantity today, which is really a coincidence.
Jiang Qinyu climbed down the ladder, and Chen Hong immediately rushed to climb up. Everyone else's attention was focused on Chen Hong, and Jiang Qinyu took the opportunity to harvest the garlic sprouts in the field.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully unlocked the first floor of the supermarket! Bonus reward: 5000 system points!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the entire floor of the shopping mall! Reward: Unlock Gift Pack *1!]
[Task: Complete 1000 transactions in the system store to unlock access to the second floor of the supermarket!]
Jiang Qinyu was dizzy from the barrage of system notifications when Chen Hong suddenly shouted, "Sister-in-law Lu, they're fighting!"
Jiang Qinyu hurried over, and Chen Hong had already come down the ladder, letting Jiang Qinyu go up to take a look.
When Jiang Qinyu reached the top of the wall and looked out, she almost fell off the ladder.
Holy crap... how did so many people get here? I'd estimate at least five or six hundred!
Those in front had already started fighting with Village Chief Li and his men, but there were still more than half of them who hadn't entered the village yet!
Jiang Qinyu suddenly had a bad feeling. Without thinking twice, she took out a megaphone and shouted towards Village Chief Li, "Uncle Village Chief, run towards the big locust tree!"
The trap zone is located three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in front of the big locust tree, and only the villagers know which way is the safest to go.
Upon hearing the noise, Village Chief Li immediately realized what was happening and shouted for everyone to back off, "Don't fight them head-on, come with me!"
At the same time, Jiang Qinyu jumped down from the ladder and said urgently to the group of women, "There are too many people coming. Everyone get ready, we have to go and support them!"
