Chapter 444: The world has changed, the gods punish

On the battlefield, the simpler and more practical, the more effective it is. There will be no fancy moves or long-winded nonsense.

The calmness and ruthlessness that Chen Sanlang and the other three showed after joining the battle was completely different from the young and strong people in Hongjia Village. It was precisely because of their help that the entire battle situation was reversed. With the death of the Barbarian Army Captain, the morale of the Barbarian Army was greatly damaged and they began to retreat.

In fact, this barbarian army was also careless. It was an easy task to come to slaughter a small mountain village, and even if it encountered some resistance, it would not be a problem. How could it be like this?

After leaving more than ten bodies, the remaining barbarian soldiers fled; eight young and strong people died in Hongjia Village, and more than 20 injured people.

Dakui was also injured and was slashed on his back. Fortunately, he was wearing leather armor. This knife was just a skin trauma and bleeding a lot, but fortunately it was not fatal.

When the war ended, the crying sounded, mixed with painful screams, and the atmosphere in the village was desolate.

Chen Sanlang stood there, holding a long sword in his hand, his clothes were covered in blood, and his expression was cold. When he was used to life and death, his emotional fluctuations would be controlled and would not easily reveal them.

This is not cold-bloodedness, but knowing that tears cannot solve any problem.

"It's all caused by this dog thief!"

At this time, Hong Ada grabbed someone and turned out to be the refugee leading the way. The villagers were in a hurry. If Hong Ada hadn't stopped shouting, he would have come up to kill this guy.

Chen Sanlang didn't mind, but before he was beaten to death, he had something to ask.

After this battle, Chen Sanlang's status rose sharply in the eyes of the villagers. If these three foreigners were not here, I would be afraid that the village would have been destroyed long ago.

The refugees fought and said everything in order to survive. It turned out that they failed to steal the land and the golden bodies, and were driven out of the village in a mess. When they went outside, their lives were difficult. What was even worse was that they collided with a team of barbarians and became prisoners.

The barbarian army had never had the habit of keeping prisoners and began to kill people. In order to protect themselves, the refugee quickly told the story of the golden body of the land. As expected, the barbarian army coveted the treasures and asked him to lead the way and come to Hongjia Village.

As for the origin of this barbarian army, if you guessed it wrong, it should come from the prefectures and counties.

The Barbarian King Shi Pojun occupied the prefectures and counties, reorganized them, recuperated them, and attacked everywhere, plundering food and resources. Such as Huai'an Prefecture Huaishan Prefecture, etc., were all affected by it. There is no doubt that Laoshan Prefecture will inevitably become the target of Shi Pojun. It was only because of the long distance and the arrival of winter that the Barbarian Army did not attack directly.

Before the army moves, it does not prevent the reconnaissance from coming first.

This team of barbarians is likely to be a scout and detective.

A few months ago, Chen Sanlang ordered that various counties and towns be formed to set up patrol teams to inspect the borders and pay close attention to the movements of the barbarian army. However, due to insufficient troops and vast areas, it is impossible to be fully covered and guard without any flaws. Especially in Wuping County, the terrain is mountainous and sparsely populated, and it is impossible to guard against it by the barbarian army.

After learning about this, Chen Sanlang knew that no matter what, recruiting soldiers and strengthening defense was the primary priority, and raising soldiers and horses would result in a lot of food.

The same old saying: Food is the best!

After Chen Sanlang finished asking, Hong Tiezhu lifted the guy up, walked to the shore, and threw him directly into Tongtian River.

If this thief does not die, it is not enough to calm the public's anger. If you kill him directly, you will be afraid of being dirty. So you can simply solve the problem in the traditional way: throw him into the river to feed the fish!

The war was won and the evil people were killed, but the Hongjia Village still couldn't be happy. They were originally villagers with simple hearts and simple minds. Have they ever encountered these problems? In the words of Hong Ada: "The world has changed and there is nowhere to hide!"

Chen Sanlang asked: "Uncle, what are your plans?"

Hong Ada smiled bitterly: "What are the plans? Let's take a look at the slightest."

Hong Tiezhu squatted beside him with his head hanging down, his face full of depression. The dead young and strong are all his friends who have played with since childhood, so this blow is not bad.

Chen Sanlang said in a deep voice: "Did you think about living outside?"

"Outside?"

Hong Ada was stunned and sighed: "I heard that there are now soldiers outside, so if you go out, wouldn't you seek death?"

"That's not what you said!"

Awu next to him spoke: "Now the people of Laoshan Prefecture live and work in peace and contentment. If you go out, there will definitely be a good place to go."

Hong Ada looked confused and seemed not very clear. After thinking about it, he sighed: "We have lived here for generations and have never lived outside. I am afraid it will be difficult to adapt."

Chen Sanlang said: "But you can't even catch fish at the moment. How can you stay here?"

This sentence hit Hong Ada's life gate. Yes, I can't even eat, how can I continue to live?

"Uncle, why don't we go out and try it out and see what exactly?"

Hong Tiezhu spoke. After all, he was a young man and his thinking was not as rigid and fixed as the older generation.

Hong Ada's face changed and he was still unable to make up his mind.

Chen Sanlang knew that this matter should not be too hasty, nor should he be too rushed, so he asked the people from Hongjia Village to discuss and make a decision.

If a person dies, he will naturally have to do his funeral. He will carry a coffin and bury the person without mentioning any sadness.

There were still a lot of fish that Chen Sanlang caught yesterday, and they were all dried yesterday. Due to the lack of salt, they could not be marinated. Fortunately, it was cold in winter and food was not prone to rot if stored, but after being stored for a long time, it would eventually deteriorate.

Hong Ah made all these fish, steamed or stewed, so that the whole village could eat them. Some of the elderly in the village were still suspicious, and some even said that it was because they ate the fish from Turtle Pond yesterday that the gods punished them, which caused the disaster today.

Hong Tiezhu was very resentful and muttered: "The rumor of Guitan is that whoever ate the fish will suffer. However, the young and strong killed basically did not eat fish. On the contrary, Chen Sanlang and others who ate the fish were safe."

After saying this, the old people were speechless. In the final analysis, Hong Ada and Hong Tiezhu were the most prestigious people in the village. They made the exception and others were not easy to talk to. When they smelled the fragrant smell of fish, many people could not hold back. They were hungry and ate some wild vegetable porridge every time, and their mouths faded out of the birds, and they could not resist the temptation and temptation of delicious food. I immediately made up my mind and just eat it.

There are many people, and if you share, you will only have one or two pieces of meat per person. But after all, meat is meat, and it is particularly delicious when you bite it in your mouth.

The villagers also muttered that they would get more fish tomorrow.

Hong Ada listened over there and felt bitter. If Chen Sanlang didn't take the opportunity, let alone fish, there might not be any of them, so he might just drink wild vegetable porridge.

That night, the night was dark, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder. The sky was filled with lightning and the thunder was scattering, and the thunder was rolling, which was extremely terrible. Not long after, the pouring rain fell - it was like a pot of water pouring down. Such heavy rain was rare in a century.

After the rain, the Tongtian River immediately surged, with storm waves and bursts of loud noises coming ashore. The people of Hongjia Village who were hiding in the house were all a little scared and uneasy. A timid old man had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to pray for the Bodhisattva's blessing. Some people were wondering whether it was because the whole village had eaten fish from the turtle pond, so the gods were angry and wanted to punish them!

In the room, Chen Sanlang felt something was right, stood up suddenly and opened the door and went out.
