When the day was dim, Stone's family went to a large village. The patriarch of the largest family in this village had received the blessings of Xiao Fugui a few years ago. Not only did the family have hot soup, but also groomed their hair, cleaned their teeth, and changed their horseshoes.
Having heard what Xiao Fugui and his families' experienced, the patriarch named Shizhili Zhahu began to get nervous.
The next day, the old patriarchs gathered all the villagers, invited the elders of other families in the village to let Xiao Fugui train everyone to some skills of the battle. Xiao Fugui asked them to take turns to observe the road a little far from the village. At the same time, he asked everyone to install the thick wooden boards on both sides of the carriage and cut holes in the board to make some archeries.
This formation was very popular in all countries in the north and the south. With this formation, the troops were well self-protected, they could delay time and wait for help. The thick baffles on heavy vehicles are generally wrapped in iron sheets, camped and circled people, horses and materials to build a fortress man inside could shoot arrows to the enemies outside, and could also use a long spear to attack the attacker
Xiao Fugui taught people to study back-to-back defense and carriage defense. He also taught them to use the passwords as those commonly used by the army of Liao kingdom military.
Stone saw that many people here also had flying rock slings at their waists. Some people even tied two or three, so he asked to sell two to him, and tied them to the waist. This was the best weapon for Stone. Without it, Stone's heart was really not calm.
Women in Stone's family were always busy, they taught men and women in the village to make slingshots and other weapons.
Among the women who were the most active and dynamic in the family Xiao, it was not the hostess Fang Ruolan, but Missy Chunlan.
Chunlan skillfully drew a sketch of the triangular arrow of the Nanjing military, went to the blacksmith's shop in the village, with long iron tongs to pick up the red iron slabs. Hold the hammer hit on the huge anvil, and then put it into the water to quench it. The set of movements went through so fluently as the clouds in sky and water in a river. Even the old blacksmiths had their eyes bright, and the apprentices called Chunlan as the master.
Stone finally believed in the operation of Chunlan through the blacksmith shop. In Liujiaying, a mountain village in the suburbs of Xijing, Stone and his brothers sometimes went to the blacksmith shop to watch for fun, but they had never seen such a beautiful movement.
When people called her the master, Chun Just would slow down the movement and explained to the apprentices how to get the work done faster and how to save energy, suggested them to lift the hammer as high as possible, then control the direction and angle, let The hammer falls naturally without being too hard...
Chunlan also made a long spear to Stone and found a suitable hardwood stick, fixed some long horse hair wrapped around the front end of the stick under the spear.
Stone said that it could be enough for practice, it was not necessary to make the spear beautifully. Chunlan said that the horse was not for beauty, but to drain the blood from the spray, otherwise, the spear will be very slippery, it was hard to hold it.
The refugees who were almost killed by the wolves also came to this village, Xiao Fugui and the old patriarch, brought some food and equipment, visited the refugees. The old patriarch expressed his willingness to accept these people to live temporarily or permanently in the vicinity.
The refugee seriously discussed the advice of the old patriarch, but finally decided to continue their travel to the south-west. They said that the Jurchens were very strong, and maybe they would come here one day, so it would be better to be as far as possible from those killers.
