The Oriole is behind
It was late at night, and Liu Huaijin suddenly woke up and gasped for a few heavy breaths.
The room was quiet, the children's snoring was very light; the surroundings were quiet, and even the little insects could not be heard. Huaijin felt a little panic.
Suddenly, a little light flashed outside the window, followed by another starlight.
It was the fire! Someone was igniting the fire! Huai Jin shouted loudly: "There is fire!"
Immediately someone sat up: "What's the matter?"
Chen Zhongyan, who was closest to the table, touched the fire broker and lit the candle.
"Get dresses." He said in a deep voice, quickly putting on his clothes.
The fire outside the window became brighter and louder, and the sound became louder and louder.
The boys got up one after another. Everyone rushed out of the door and ran to the toilet. Each of them grabbed a basin and ran into the yard. There was a large water tank filled with water.
Everyone filled basins of water one after another and rushed onto the flames. Several flames blew up a few times, becoming weak and emitting a choking smell of smoke.
"Brother Third, go get the mask and soak it in water for us." Chen Zhongyan ordered.
Chen Zhongzhu ran into the house, and the whistle outside the yard was sounding sharply, and the sound of footsteps splashing water came one after another.
He took out a stack of masks and sent one to each person. Everyone continued to splash water while wearing masks.
Zhang Ci went up to the roof, and the ink paper was on it.
"What's going on now?"
Mo Jian replied: "The fire will not have any impact in control. The water tanks in the yards in various places have finally played a big role."
"How many people are there outside?"
"It's not yet estimated that they haven't taken action."
"Do you still remember the bandits who rushed into the city?" Zhang Ci asked softly.
"Remember, Chu Sheng said it."
"This group is probably the one." Zhang Ci's tone was a little heavy.
Mo Jian's breathing stagnated: "Will there be an oriole bird?"
Zhang Ci shouted: "If the oriole bird doesn't come again, it won't be a living bird."
There were not many flames in the yard, and a few boys were quickly extinguished. Everyone stood under the eaves without leaving the yard or entering the room.
"Why no one came to our yard to see it today?" Liu Huaijin felt very strange.
"Each hospital is responsible for each hospital." Chen Zhongyan said.
Huai Jin glanced at him: "Last time I heard the whistle, you said to sleep with peace of mind. Today I saw the fire, and you told everyone to get up. What standards did you arrange it?"
Chen Zhongyan chuckled: "Without fire, you are still staying in the house?"
Huai Jin can't reply.
There were sounds of weapons colliding and screams from outside, from far and near, around.
"Someone is coming to harvest rice again?" Chen Zhongliang murmured in a low voice.
"Are those villagers safe today?" Chen Zhongmei asked.
Chen Zhongyan answered his question: "There are guards guarding the villagers. You go back to sleep, I'll stay here."
Chen Zhongzhu disagreed: "I am the third brother, I'll keep it."
"No need, go to bed." A sound sounded on the roof and the boys were startled.
"Brother-in-law?" Everyone tried to shout.
"Um."
"Where are the girls?"
"Chu Sheng was guarding there."
The children immediately felt relieved and went back to the house obediently.
The fighting sounds in the wilderness lasted for a long time, and they did not gradually stop until the sky was slight.
The sun jumped out of the horizon. As soon as the early villagers opened the courtyard door, they saw a tide of people coming from afar. They were so scared that they quickly closed the courtyard door, the house door, and locked the window.
The tide rushed to another village, and he was about to cut the door with a knife. "Swoosh, swish, swish, swish, swish," and a sound of breaking through the air passed by, and countless arrows fell on the bandits like raindrops, and a piece of land fell on the ground.
The bandit leader’s eyes were red and he roared angrily: “If you have the guts, come down and fight grandpa!”
No one paid attention to him, a group of arrows flew towards him, he swung his knife to block several, but was still shot by the other ones, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At Qijiadu, the boys were stuck in front of the window, and they could not see the scene outside the yard. They could only hear the sound of arrows entering the flesh, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, screams and moans.
Chen Zhongyan hugged Chen Zhongliang, with a cool face on his face.
The girl also stuck to the window and listened to the sound outside.
Chen Ya asked curiously: "How many people are there outside today? Why don't we go out?"
Chen Fan pinched her face: "How many people do you think are there?"
"Hundreds of people? It seems to be more than one thousand? Are there so many?"
Chen Yue looked at her: "Today is probably the last batch, one acre of land, and there are still three thousand people."
Everyone exclaimed.
"So many people! How can the guards call me?" Chen Ya was very anxious.
"It seems that there are another group of people who are beating them." Chen Xiu guessed as he listened to the voice.
"It should be. What's this called?"
"Mantis stalks cicadas--" Chen Yue said halfway.
"The oriole is behind." Chen Ying continued the second half.
"Sit for a while, I guess it will be a little while." Chen Fan said.
After sitting for half an hour, the fighting outside gradually stopped, and a sound of gongs came over clearly. Chu Sheng arrived at the window: "Girl, it's all over."
Everyone was very happy and walked out of the door.
Chu Sheng looked at the girls and said, "There are many corpses outside. If you are afraid, you can not go out. Wait until the outside is cleaned up before going out."
Several children hesitated.
"When I fled the famine, I saw many people starving to death on the roadside," said Chen Xiu.
"I've seen someone..." Chen Ying didn't say anything.
"What do many corpses look like?" Chen Ya had no idea.
"You are still young, afraid that you will have nightmares if you see them." Chu Sheng said.
Chen Ya was stunned for a while and said, "Then I won't go out."
The girls didn't go out, including Chen Fan.
She hadn't seen such a scene before, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it.
"What if I cook?" Chen Ya asked again.
"Miss Qin Zheng will protect Grandma Zhou and the others." Chu Sheng said.
The boys are also discussing whether to go out.
"I won't go out." Chen Zhongyan took the lead in making a statement.
"I want to go out, I want to see that kind of scene." Chen Zhongzhu said.
"Then I'll go and give it courage, too." Chen Zhongmei said.
The two of them followed Mo Jian out of the yard and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
There were corpses everywhere, arrows were inserted everywhere, and blood dyed the soil on the ground black.
"Where are so many people coming from?" Chen Zhongzhu found it incredible.
"Who are they?" Chen Zhongmei looked at the group of those who were carrying the bodies.
"They are the army of the court." Mo Jian said.
"Army? Why did the army come today?" Chen Zhongzhu didn't understand.
"When did they come?" Chen Zhongmei didn't understand.
Mo Jian smiled.
The three of them walked around the village, which was shocking.
Looking at the pale-faced children, Mo Jian picked up one of them while picking them up and put them back in the kitchen.
Grandma Zhou miraculously placed a brazier at the entrance of the yard, with mugwort burning inside.
Grandma Zhou grabbed the mugwort and patted them a few more times, muttering something.
After washing hands and drinking water, the two children's faces recovered a little.
After sitting for half an hour, everyone heard a loud voice: "Sir Zhongshu Ling is here! General Cavalry is here!"
