When Village Chief Li saw that the villagers had almost arrived, he stopped talking nonsense and simply told what happened in the town. Everyone, whether they knew or didn't know, let out exclamations of surprise and sigh.
"That's the thing. Although those refugees only killed people in the town today, no one knows whether they will go crazy and attack the surrounding villages. So I thought that from today onwards, I will close the door of the village, no matter who comes. It is allowed to open, and each household will arrange for a man to take turns guarding and patrolling at the entrance of the village until the refugees are dealt with, and everyone has no objections..." Village Chief Li said with a serious expression.
The villagers looked at me and I looked at you, and began to chatter, with some agreeing and some opposing. In fact, most of the villagers agreed. After all, who would risk their lives? As for those who objected, some felt that refugees would not come to them. It takes nearly an hour to walk from Zhuangyuan Village to Luohua Town. Moreover, the refugees were burning, killing, and looting in the town today. Those officials would definitely come forward to arrest the refugees. There would be no problem.
"What you said is correct, but can you afford the bet? What if, what if those officials don't capture all the refugees, what if the refugees really come to us. The village door is wide open and they rush directly Come in, do you think you can drive away those murderous refugees, or can you protect your family from being harmed?" Village Chief Li did not refute the objections, but just described what might happen. Come out and ask the other party if they can accept it.
Village Chief Li's words made the villagers who voted against it speechless. Of course they didn't dare to gamble. How could they have the guts to gamble with the safety of their loved ones.
The final result was naturally that several young adults closed the door that had been open all year round at the entrance of the village. Although the door was only made of wood, it was very heavy. It took several people to push it together whether it was closing or opening.
Then Village Chief Li set the list and time for daily patrols. Just in case, the patrolling villagers also brought machetes at home, and Zhang Dayong also brought bows and arrows.
Because Zhang Dayong has rich hunting experience, Village Chief Li specially arranged for him to be in the latter half of the night when he is most likely to fall asleep.
Everything went peacefully for a few days, and the villagers wondered if the refugees had been arrested and were all right. Just when the villagers were thinking about whether to go to the village chief to discuss sending someone to the town to take a look, the gong to summon the villagers was sounded again.
Li Teng banged the gong and shouted loudly, "Those refugees are coming. All the young and middle-aged people went to the entrance of the village to help. The elderly, children and husbands are hiding at home and don't come out..."
Zhuangyuan Village is very big, and Li Teng He almost shouted to Cunwei from the entrance of the village, his voice was hoarse, but Li Teng continued to shout as if he was completely unconscious.
When the villagers heard Li Teng's shouting, the men who were still at home immediately sent their parents, friends, and children to the bedroom. They closed the bedroom door tightly, then took the machetes at home and went to the house. Rush to the entrance of the village.
"You and Xiaodouzi can stay in the bedroom with peace of mind. I will be back soon." After Zhang Dayong heard Li Teng's cry, he also sent Lin Qin and Zhang Qiong'an to the bedroom immediately, and slapped Lin Qin hard on the forehead. He kissed her deeply, as if this could give him strength.
"Brother Dayong, you must be careful. Xiaodouzi and I are waiting for you to come back at home." When Zhang Dayong was about to close the bedroom door, Lin Qin called to Zhang Dayong.
Zhang Dayong nodded heavily, then closed the bedroom door. He added a lock to the door and put the key close to his body.
When Zhang Dayong rushed to the entrance of the village with a bow, arrow and machete, he saw many refugees climbing through the village gate one after another, regardless of the injuries caused by the spikes and stones on the village gate, as if they felt no pain. As soon as they entered, they wanted to rush to the nearest house to them. Their eyes were red and they were obviously completely crazy.
How could the villagers let these refugees rush into their homes and hurt their families? Even though their hands were shaking, they rushed forward and fought with the refugees.
The refugees had obviously been hacking people frequently during this period, and they knew very well where to chop to make people lose their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, and several villagers fell down in a short time.
Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar villagers lying on the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead, Zhang Dayong's anger suddenly made Zhang Dayong's eyes red. He bent his bow and shot a few arrows, and several refugees fell down.
The refugees seemed to have discovered Zhang Dayong's powerful fighting ability. Several refugees looked at each other and surrounded Zhang Dayong.
When Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu arrived, they saw Zhang Dayong was surrounded. They immediately became anxious and wanted to step forward to help, but they heard Zhang Dayong shouting, "It doesn't matter from my side. You go and help other people first."
What could Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu do? Naturally, he could only choose to believe Zhang Dayong, raised his machete and killed the refugees who were about to jump off the wooden door.
Village Chief Li was holding back because of his old age, so he stayed at home to protect his family. Li Teng brought his younger brothers to help.
"Be careful." As soon as Zhang Dayong solved several refugees who besieged him, he saw a middle-aged man being slashed by a refugee. No one could guarantee whether he would survive if he was stabbed again. Upon seeing this, Zhang Dayong hurriedly pulled the person away with one hand, raised the machete with the other hand and rushed forward, slashing the person several times.
I don't know if another group of refugees from the border have recently arrived. More and more refugees are climbing through the wooden door. When there were more people, they chopped down the young man standing behind the door, and then worked together to open the closed door.
Originally, the villagers had a hard time fighting, and Zhang Dayong basically relied on Zhang Dayong to solve the problem. Now that the door was opened and dozens of refugees rushed in, the villagers were instantly at a disadvantage.
Zhang Dayong saw that many villagers were injured and fell down, and some refugees had even begun to rob several households living in the village. Listening to the screams of pain and fear, Zhang Dayong hated his lack of strength for the first time. .
All Zhang Dayong could do was to keep shooting arrows, slashing and protecting the villagers, but the price he paid was that the scars on his body continued to increase, and soon he became a bloody man. Unlike Wang Ermao's bloody man, the blood on Zhang Dayong's body at this time is all his own.
"Yongzi, be careful." Wang Dafu saw Zhang Dayong staggered and almost got cut, so he hurriedly gave him a hand.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Zhang Dayong didn't expect Wang Dafu to show up. After all, he was notoriously greedy and afraid of death in the village.
"Thank you, I watched you grow up after all." Wang Dafu said with a hint of shame on his face. He saw Zhang Dayong's efforts to protect the villagers today. Wang Dafu really didn't expect that the villagers treated Zhang Dayong like that before, and Zhang Dayong was willing to protect everyone. Wang Dafu's cheeks felt hot and ashamed when he thought about what he had done before.
Zhang Dayong didn't say much and continued to protect the villagers with his machete.
Seeing more and more villagers falling to the ground, and more and more families being robbed, just when Zhang Dayong thought that their village could not hold on, a middle-aged man in armor led a team of soldiers and horses to rush in. arrive.
This one who had received professional training was different. The middle-aged man waved his hand and a few soldiers surrounded a refugee. After a while, they all were taken down. Those who resisted strongly were killed on the spot.
When the villagers saw that the refugees who had rushed into their village were caught, the first thing they did was not to cheer but to run to their homes to check if anything happened to their family members, especially the few villagers living at the entrance of the village. Distraught.
Li Teng's arm was cut and bleeding profusely. If it was deeper, his hand would not be able to be saved. But Li Teng didn't care about his injured arm. Instead, he walked up to the middle-aged man and said thanks, "Thank you, general, for catching these people for us. Otherwise, our village wouldn't have been saved." When
the middle-aged man heard this , he said With a look of shame on his face, he said, "I don't deserve this little brother's thanks. It's because we're late." The
middle-aged man was really ashamed. As a general, it was his duty to protect his family and country. On weekdays, he always kept a distance. In a military camp not far from the county seat. Because military officers are military attachés and civilian officials have always been at odds with each other, middle-aged men generally do not go to the county town for any important matters, lest the county magistrate misunderstand that he wants to seize power.
But because of this, it was too late when he received the news of the refugee attack. The refugees not only robbed Luohua Town, but also robbed several villages near Luohua Town, causing many casualties.
The middle-aged man sent a team of troops to the town to suppress the refugees in the town, and he followed the traces of the refugees with the remaining troops.
"It won't be too late, our home will still be there." Li Teng said with a weak smile.
Although Zhuangyuan Village suffered damage, and the villagers suffered many injuries, including several deaths, their homes were still there, and they would recover as long as they were given time.
The middle-aged man did not expect that there would be such a righteous man in a farm family. This greatly changed his view of rural people. In his previous impression, rural people were ignorant and unreachable existences.
"In a few days, a new county magistrate will take office. You can count the losses in the next few days. Then officials will come to register and register, and you should be given a certain amount of compensation." The middle-aged man quite likes Li Teng. , specially mentioned a few words.
"The new county magistrate???" The county magistrate was a very distant existence to Li Teng, but Li Teng was still worried about the impact that changing the county magistrate would have on their lives.
Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed across the face of the middle-aged man, and he said, "That bastard Zheng Yan is as cowardly as a mouse. The refugees poured into the town and he didn't know what the management was doing. Those refugees launched an attack and caused countless casualties in Luohua Town. Just like that, he didn't He sent troops to suppress it, but instead hid in the county government office all day thinking that everything would be fine. If this bastard doesn't change, wouldn't he be sorry for the people who died."
Li Teng also had a trace of anger in his eyes when he heard this. If the county magistrate had done a little bit to serve them today The disaster will not exist.
"I wonder if this general knows what the new county magistrate is like???" Li Teng was not worried about anything else but that the new man would be greedy.
"Don't worry, if such a big thing happened here, the imperial court will definitely send a real good official to manage it. Although I don't like those docile bookworms, I have to admit that many of them are truly serving the country. A good official for the people." The middle-aged man said.
"Thank you, General, for clearing up my doubts. What will happen to our current county magistrate???" The middle-aged man's words made Li Teng breathe a little relieved, and then he said angrily.
There was a hint of cruelty in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said, "Don't worry, the head on his neck won't stay on his neck for more than a few days."
Zheng Yan had caused such a big disaster, even if there were people behind him, they couldn't save him. Because the Emperor allows you to be greedy and bad, but he absolutely does not allow you to do nothing and not take the people into consideration.
