A few people understood and quietly disappeared into the grass.

Lin Dong was secretly nervous. The opponent was a bandit who was used to getting blood on his knife edge. If the tribesmen couldn't kill him by surprise, once their companions came up, everything would be over.

Twenty steps, ten steps...

The closer Lin Dong got, the faster his heart beat. He couldn't imagine the consequences of failure.

"Kill..." At this moment, a loud shout came out.

The bandit was startled by the villagers' shouts and hurriedly turned around to take a look. Unfortunately, he was too fast and was stabbed to the ground before he could see his opponent clearly.

At the same time, another tribesman jumped up instantly and rushed towards the bandit who was approaching the stone wall.

The bandit was extremely experienced in combat. He didn't turn around when he heard the shout. He twisted his body and barely avoided the spear thrust from behind.

"They've been discovered. I'll hold them back. Come up quickly." The bandit didn't panic. Instead, he shouted toward the bottom of the cliff. Apparently there were many companions below.

Lin Dong secretly thought, "Oh no!" He ignored his injuries and rushed out with the two villagers. At the same time, he said: "Hurry up and light the torch."

He knew in his heart that these bandits usually killed people and stole goods, and their living standards were much better than those of ordinary villagers. Their night vision ability was undoubtedly better than that of villagers. Since the sneak attack had failed, the only option was to attack by force.

Since it is a strong attack, it is natural to give full play to one's own advantages.

If we continue to fight in the dark, our clansmen will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.

Although the tribesmen were puzzled, several of them took out fire folds from their arms and lit the torches.

The torch was lit, the path was illuminated instantly, and the situation on the field fell into everyone's eyes. Several people at the end of the path had already reached a point of fighting. The forks of the two people were flying in their hands, and they were desperately heading towards the person who had escaped the sneak attack.

The bandit said hello.

Fortunately, these people often go hunting in the mountains and have strong skills. Although they have no rules when fighting, their moves are flexible and fierce. In addition, there are many villagers, and they are stabbed with spears, which makes the bandit dangerous.

The big man was obviously not a vegetarian. Although he was besieged by many people, he did not panic in his heart. He danced with a long knife in his hand that was impervious to wind and rain, and defused the villagers' attacks one by one. He couldn't help roaring, obviously very angry at the villagers' sneak attack.

Faced with multiple people coming to kill them, the bandits did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, they used every move to defend themselves. The bandits' intention was very obvious, which was to hold the villagers back first and wait for their companions to come up before launching a counterattack.

After all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Only sufficient numerical advantage is the key to victory. Moreover, this place is very narrow and the opponent occupies a favorable position. He is definitely not an opponent if he fights alone.

The bandit was also very tough, he had rich fighting experience, and he had a handy weapon in his hand. For a while, the two of them were unable to succeed.

Just as Lin Dong led everyone up the path, another bandit climbed up the mountain.

Oops, Lin Dong's heart tightened, knowing that he must not let the other party climb up the stone wall completely, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong no longer cared about his injuries, grabbed a spear from the tribesman, took a step forward with his left foot, slightly bent his feet, leaned forward, and stabbed the enemy's chest quickly and powerfully.

He learned this assassination technique during his amateur military training. He originally thought it would be useless, but he didn't expect to use it today and hit the target with one blow.

The villagers were all stabbing each other with long spears, and the bandits had long been accustomed to their fighting methods. Suddenly a professional one appeared, and he was unable to dodge in a hurry. He was stabbed by Lin Dong's spear and rolled down the cliff with a scream.

Seeing Lin Dong stabbing the bandit, the villagers immediately became energetic and shouted to greet the bandit.

The bandit was originally on the edge of the cliff, with little space to move and the large number of villagers, which had already forced him into a blind corner.

Lin Dong used all his strength to stab the bandit. After stabbing the bandit down, his body swayed and he almost fell down.

But he knew that he must not fall, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Now he has almost become the spiritual support of the villagers. For the sake of his tribe, for his mother, and for himself to live longer, he must persist...

Sure enough, when the bandit saw his companion being carried off the cliff, he knew that there was nothing he could do. He immediately made a feint and shouted to scare away the villagers. He took advantage of the situation and jumped off the stone wall.

"Fuck, let him run away!" The villagers got angry and cursed when they saw the bandit escaping.

Several villagers who were so angry that they even took out their hatchets and slashed at the chain on the cliff. This chain was obviously hung up by bandits to make it easier to climb. At this time, the big man was holding the chain in his hand and kept moving towards it.

It fell and soon disappeared into the night.

The villagers angrily smashed the chain several times, but failed to break it. They could only watch the bandit disappear into the night.

"It seems that this body is still too weak and needs to be strengthened." A feeling of powerlessness came over him, and Lin Dong could no longer hold on and slowly fell backwards.

Fortunately, a tribesman next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he helped him up without breaking his head.

"Lin Dong, are you okay?"

It's okay. I'll send someone to guard here. The bandits probably won't come again tonight. You can help me go over there and take a rest. Then I pointed to a flat boulder not far away and said.

After a fierce battle, everyone admired Lin Dong even more. In everyone's opinion, Lin Dong was a scumbag with no flesh on his body. Although he had read a few more sentences, his brain was more flexible than theirs, but in terms of dealing with people

There is no way to compare with yourself if you do it.

But reality slapped him in the face. Lin Dong was not only smart in mind, but his ability to fight with others was no worse than his own. With his weak body, he stabbed the enemy with one shot. For such a brave and resourceful person, he and others were no matter what.

Nothing compares to it.

After today's two battles, everyone has vaguely regarded Lin Dong as their leader, because they know that in this upcoming troubled world, only Lin Dong can keep themselves safe.

There was no talking all night, and it was not until dawn that Lin Dong returned home with some of the villagers.

Back in the village, the villagers recounted what happened last night vividly, and everyone was amazed.

The crowd was furious and cursed the bandits for their insidiousness.

And I became even more grateful to Lin Dong.

When he got home, Lin Dong couldn't hold it any longer, so he fell on the bed and fell asleep. At this time, he needed rest so much.

I don't know how long it took, but Lin Dong was woken up by the noise again.

"Could it be that the bandits are attacking the cottage again?" Lin Dong muttered secretly in his heart, but unfortunately no one could help him. Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes and saw that the door was closed tightly, and his mother who had been accompanying him was nowhere to be seen.

none.

He climbed up with difficulty and looked out the window. He saw that the yard was full of clan members, and his mother was among them.

At this time, she was standing in front of the tribe with open arms, blocking them like an eagle catching a chicken.

There were also several tribesmen standing behind my mother, including the people who went to the back mountain with me last night.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Lin Dong struggled to open the door and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Lin Dong is coming out...Lin Dong is coming out..., arrest him quickly." Seeing him coming out, the villagers shouted loudly, and some grumpy ones were even ready to take him directly, if it were not stopped by several tribesmen.

, I am afraid that he has already rushed into the house.

Lin Dong glanced at these tribesmen with disdain in his heart. These people were more timid than anyone else when facing bandits, but they were more ruthless to their own tribe than anyone else. The ones who clamored the loudest were these guys who just wanted to surrender.

"Dong'er, you go in first. As long as mother is still here, I will never let anyone take you away. These ungrateful people, if you had known this, you should not have saved them." The mother said angrily.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly." Lin Dong is two older than the other. Although he is young and not senior, he has just saved the entire village. Why do these people want to arrest him in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that it was exposed that he was not really Lin Dong?

Soon, my idea was rejected. This matter was simply a fantasy. If I hadn't experienced it personally, I would never believe it to be true.

But other than that, he couldn't think of any other reason that made these villagers so angry.

"Everyone give way, the clan leader is here..."

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power did not extend to counties, and administrative power generally only extended to the county level. Further down, the government only controlled major local affairs such as finance and taxation, military and ideology, and left some trivial affairs management rights to local self-determination.

At this time, squires and family patriarchs became the main managers of the countryside, so their prestige in the hearts of the people was naturally extremely high.

"Clan leader, it was this harmful spirit who attracted the bandits. Please get him arrested quickly."

At this time, a tribesman came out of the crowd, pointed at Lin Dong and said angrily.

"I'm also very sorry about your family's affairs, but this matter has nothing to do with Lin Dong." The patriarch shook his head.

"Patriarch, if it weren't for this harmful spirit, why would the bandits come to our Linjia Village?" The man refused to give up.

"I have also read the letter sent in by the bandits. They are all bandits with no integrity at all. Even if you hand over Lin Dong, they will not be able to retreat. On the contrary, if Lin Dongxian's nephew hadn't been strategizing, do you think that with your help?

Can these people hold on to the village?" the patriarch said sternly.

"But, the bandits said that as long as Lin Dong is handed over, they will retreat."

Now Lin Dong finally figured out the matter. It must be that the bandits saw that the attack was unsuccessful, so they used a tactic to alienate the villagers and asked the villagers to hand over themselves, and then attacked the city again. But these brainless uncles and uncles believed it.

Come and capture him and hand him over to the bandits.

"madness!"

The patriarch's face became colder and colder, and he shouted angrily: "How come we, the Lin family, have beasts like you? You don't even think about who protected the village for us, and who protected your family."

"I know that some of you feel uncomfortable when someone in your family is injured or sacrificed, but so what, at least you are still alive and well. Think about it, if it weren't for Lin Dong, would you still be alive now?

"

"Clan leader, I don't accept it. The bandits clearly said that as long as Lin Dong is handed over, they will not harm anyone else..."

"That's why I said you are stupid. Think about it carefully. Did the bandits say this in the morning? If Lin Dong hadn't helped us guard the village and the bandits came in, would they really have only captured Lin Dong? They were

Seeing that Lin Dong was so wise and brave that he couldn't deal with it himself, he deliberately sowed discord..."

"If you really hand Lin Dong over, you will be the next to die..."

After hearing the clan leader's words, Lin Dong couldn't help but be speechless secretly, and felt indescribably grateful in his heart.

At the same time, I also have a high opinion of this old man. Although he looks old and confused, his heart is more open than anyone else. The whole village is really lucky to have such a sensible patriarch.
