The hooligans behind Zhuang Wu looked at him with sarcasm on their faces.
Their fifth brother has practiced a few moves with others, and more importantly, he has been fighting for years, so he has plenty of experience.
They could all foresee that this tall and strong-looking refugee would be beaten to the ground and beg for mercy in the next moment.
However, the expected scene of being knocked down by one punch did not occur.
Because Li Dayou blocked the opponent's fist and kicked him cleanly.
If the other party had not retreated quickly, no one would know who would be lying down.
As the two men attacked, Chen Dayou and Chen Dafu also rushed over from behind.
"You dare to bully people from our village? You are looking for death, right?"
"Brother, why bother talking to them? Just kill them."
The group of people brought by Zhuang Wu were stunned and shrank back when they saw the bandit-like posture of these people. They couldn't believe what they heard and saw.
"Aren't these a bunch of refugees fleeing famine? Why do we feel like we've walked into a bandit village?"
"It's not a big deal. They still have weapons in their hands."
Just then, someone exclaimed.
"Fifth brother, stop fighting, stop fighting, these guys all have weapons."
Zhuang Wu was being held down on the ground, beaten from top to bottom, and was completely dazed. He didn't even know how he was being pushed down. Then he heard his brothers shouting, and when he looked up, he was shocked. Oh my god, everyone in the village had come out with real weapons.
"Bah, I... run, brothers..."
Looking at this group of guys fleeing in panic, Chen Dayou rubbed his hands together with a "Pooh" sound.
"Next time I see you guys, I'll beat you to death, you bastards."
"Brother, why didn't you hold it tighter? You actually let them escape."
"Isn't this just focusing on hitting without paying attention to the strength of the pressure?"
Of course, Master Chen was talking nonsense. They said they were going to kill and beat people, but they wouldn't actually kill anyone. This wasn't the time to flee famine, and if they did kill someone, the government would come and settle the score.
However, we still have to put on a good show. Otherwise, we won't be able to deal with this bunch of hooligans. Who knows how they will cause trouble in the future.
Zhuang Wu and his gang really went through the most embarrassing experience in their lives.
This group of villagers actually shouted and screamed for war, and kept chasing after them recklessly.
Looking at their aggressive expressions, I seem to wish to skin them alive.
The escape also attracted many other villagers to watch. They all stared at the group of villagers holding real knives and claws with wide eyes.
"Are these people really fleeing famine? They're not bandits who have fallen into our village?"
"That's right, why do they all have weapons? They don't look like fake weapons, but real ones."
"No, with a group of people like this right next to us, how can we be safe? We can't go on like this. We have to report it to the government."
Those who were worried immediately started to pester the village chief and others, forcing them to report that there were bandits here.
At this time, the old village chief was discussing this matter with the Wen family while working.
"Hey, Lao Wu's family, you guys are so arrogant and have people chase them away. Our guys have been exposed. What if the people from the higher-ups hear about it and come to seize our weapons?
We've made it all the way here thanks to these weapons, and many of us are already familiar with them. If they were robbed, how would our safety be guaranteed in the future?
This place is the critical village. A little further ahead is the deep mountains and old forests. It is said that it takes a month to walk through the forest.
There are wolves, tigers and other big creatures in there. Our village has been settled here. If we don’t have any skills, life will be difficult.
The most important thing is, if the enemy invades the border area and we don’t have any weapons to protect ourselves, we will be dead.”
Chu Laowu also looked at Xiushui with burning eyes, although he thought what the village chief said made sense.
But he was not panicked in his heart. In his opinion, this girl was a successful person. If she could make people display weapons openly, she must have a plan to deal with it.
Xiushui spread her hands.
"The weapons will definitely be confiscated."
"ah?"
The Wen family was also confused. They had always thought that since Xiushui was so bold in showing off his weapons, he would definitely be able to keep them.
But now the answer is completely different from what they thought.
"The news that we have weapons will eventually get out. It's only a matter of time before the government officials find out, so it's okay to reveal it sooner rather than later.
As for whether the weapons will be returned to us in the future, I can guarantee that the government will only give us the weapons obediently in the future."
The old village chief and Mrs. Li both came up to her.
"You can still give it away after paying it, why don't you tell me about it?"
Chief Luo, who happened to arrive and heard this, laughed heartily.
"Well, girl, you're doing a good thing. If word gets out that we have weapons here, they'll have to be surrendered sooner or later.
But if the enemy attacks and we defend ourselves and repel them, then the government officials will have to weigh the pros and cons and return the weapons to us."
Mrs. Li was still confused, but the old lady understood.
"Yes, we are in the critical village here. It is said that the people of that new country are very fierce.
They have been living in an arid desert area and can only make a living by grazing every year. They almost live a life of hunger for half a year and full for half a year.
No one who lived near the borders of their new country was safe from harassment.
The people of Xin Country know that there are people here and they have even planted crops. It's normal for them to want to rob us. Hehe, when the time comes, we just need to unite as one and take down the Xin Country people.
As long as the officials in the yamen are not stupid, they will give us some reward.
If all we villagers ask for is some weapons, we won't have to serve in the military, and we'll help the soldiers on the border guard this critical village. "How can they refuse?"
Any normal official, thinking that there is no need to send so many soldiers to this area, would naturally be willing to give the villagers the right to use these weapons.
After all, they only allowed the villagers to use weapons to protect the village. They didn't need to provide weapons, let alone pay, and they still received gratitude from the villagers...
Tsk, it's a convenient thing for several parties, but those officials who don't agree are really stupid.
After thinking it through, everyone was no longer so resistant to handing over their weapons.
At worst, we can let the people from the yamen deposit it for a while, and then they can take it back openly later based on their own abilities.
Then no one will say that they used weapons for personal purposes.
After figuring it out, the group of people hurriedly built their houses as if nothing had happened. Once the Luo family's house was finished, they could build their own.
I am really looking forward to the day when I move into my new home. The small building, the house that our ancestors couldn’t even imagine, is right in front of me.
Unlike the calm anticipation of the villagers, the other onlookers were united in their hatred and went to the government office to protest...
