Since last time, bandits came into the village and killed people.
The whole village was once again panicked.
For most of them.
before.
Almost starving to death.
It doesn't matter whether the bandits come or not.
But there is hope in life now.
It would be very difficult if the bandits rushed in at this time.
Inside Zhang Bao's courtyard.
Zhang Bao is teaching Su Xiaoyue how to practice the crossbow step by step.
Lao He took Li Daniu and the others to the charcoal kiln early this morning to prepare for the kiln to be opened today.
This is also the last time this year.
First of all, there was indeed a lot of charcoal supplied some time ago. As far as the entire county is concerned, it is almost enough.
Secondly, bandits have recently come again, which makes Zhang Bao feel not very safe. If he encounters a robber on the way back and forth, it will be very troublesome.
There are not many families in the entire village now.
These people are left behind.
During this period, most of them worked from Zhang Bao and had food and money.
In addition, the things found in the mountains can be eaten before.
Nowadays, it is not a big problem to wait until spring.
If the charcoal kiln is open, the smoke coming out may attract the attention of the bandits, and then the gain outweighs the loss.
So Zhang Bao was ready to stop.
After the incident of bandits entering the village and killing people.
The villagers had no objection at all.
Next, according to Zhang Bao's idea, the remaining villagers should be organized.
It's definitely not okay to be beaten passively.
I learned from Lao He before that the bandits who came to the village this time were only a dozen or so.
Thinking about it, there were only a hundred or so bandits in the surrounding mountains.
You can't always go out in force.
So if used properly, you can still kill them.
Zhang Bao was thinking in his heart.
"Wow!"
"Shot!"
Su Xiaoyue exclaimed.
Zhang Bao's thoughts were interrupted.
Zhang Bao looked up.
In the middle of the target drawn for Su Xiaoyue before, there was a bow and arrow nailed to it.
Zhang Bao also felt incredible.
It only took a few days for Su Xiaoyue to learn how to use bows and crossbows.
The progress is obvious.
I didn't expect this little girl to be so talented.
"good!"
"good!"
"The two types of bows and arrows I told you before must be clearly distinguished. The poisonous ones should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. You must also be extremely careful when using them."
"Remember, you are not needed in a frontal battle. Don't come out easily. This is for self-defense as a last resort. Remember?"
Zhang Bao said to Su Xiaoyue.
"Why?"
"Xiaoyue is very powerful now!"
"You can also help my husband fight those bandits!"
Su Xiaoyue said a little unconvinced.
"Then forget it, you can just hide it on the rafters for me from now on."
"If you come out, I will still take care of you!"
Zhang Bao said that he was going to get the crossbow back.
When Su Xiaoyue saw it, she became anxious.
"Ms. sir, if people know about it, why don't they just come out easily?"
"Please, leave it to me..."
Su Xiaoyue was reluctant to part with this crossbow.
Being able to protect yourself is secondary.
The key is that this is a crossbow that Zhang Bao specially made for himself, and he also taught him how to practice it step by step. Su Xiaoyue regarded it as a treasure.
Ever since Zhang Bao recovered.
I gave myself three things in total.
The first time was a piece of cake.
Su Xiaoyue was very sweet, but she had already finished eating.
The second time is a line of text.
It made Su Xiaoyue feel relieved, but she accidentally erased it.
The third time was this crossbow.
No matter what, stay.
"Hey, the young mistress is quite skilled at this!"
"It hit the bull's-eye."
Lao He said with a smile as he pushed the door open and came in.
"The last car was sent away?"
Zhang Bao asked.
"Let's go!"
"This time I asked six people to go together, and the speed on the road will be even faster!"
Lao He nodded.
"OK!"
"Let's go to Mrs. Li's house to discuss something!"
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
Lao He was a little puzzled, but he followed Zhang Bao out faithfully.
At this time, Mrs. Li was lying on the bed weakly.
Ever since Zhang Bao and the others broke in last time, Mrs. Li fell ill. He finally realized a problem. Some people can play tricks, but some people will not play with you at all.
Don't talk about it, just do it!
This kind of person should never be messed with.
Big fists are the last word.
In today’s world, the county magistrate is a piece of shit!
Don't care about anything!
Mrs. Li regretted it to death.
That concubine, she had finally redeemed herself, but it only took so long for her to become cold. Now that I think about it, I still feel a little scared.
A few days ago.
Bandits broke into the village again.
He also killed a steward of the Li family.
The entire clan is left to figure out a way.
I'm thinking of a stupid idea!
I even had a knife put to my neck while I was sleeping!
When Mrs. Li heard that Zhang Bao and Lao He were here again, he almost rolled off the bed.
He stood up shivering to greet him.
"Old Mrs. Li, I won't talk nonsense. All of you Li family members belong to me, and I can be of use to you."
"Let me discuss this with you."
"Do you have any comments?"
Zhang Bao 'discussed' with Mrs. Li.
"No, no!"
"It is our Li family's blessing that Master Zhang can like the people of our Li family. Master Zhang, just give us your orders!"
Old Mrs. Li said quickly.
"Okay, then it's settled."
"I'll call for someone then. I hope no one will cause trouble again. Otherwise, Mr. Li, you will have to suffer the same misfortune, don't you think?"
Zhang Bao said to Mr. Li.
"Yes yes yes!"
"Absolutely not!"
Old Mrs. Li nodded and bowed before sending the two murderers out.
Wiped the cold sweat on his head.
He immediately called everyone in the clan to discuss the matter.
The illness I had before was cured all of a sudden.
"Master, do you want to deal with bandits?"
On the way back, Lao He asked Zhang Bao with a complicated expression.
"right!"
"How many bandits are there?"
"A dozen of them come at once, and we can't take care of them?"
Zhang Bao said slowly.
"Master, you must be careful about this matter. Once you start, there is no turning back."
"Besides, the other mountain tops are not bad. I heard that the bandits in Erlong Mountain and Qinglong Cave are hundreds of people. Our Hejian Village can be considered to be in the middle of their two territories."
"Once you start fighting with bandits, these bandits will never give up!"
Lao He said to Zhang Bao with a worried look on his face.
"Hundreds of people?"
"That much?"
Zhang Bao was also a little surprised.
They now have hundreds of households in the village.
There are only forty or fifty adult men.
With forty or fifty people, it will naturally be difficult to fight against hundreds of people.
"have!"
"And just a lot more!"
"Especially Erlong Mountain, which has been entrenched here for many years and has huge power!"
"Before, our Zhang family paid Ping An money regularly."
"And young master, if we ever cause trouble, the county government will surely know about it, and I'm afraid they won't sit idly by..."
Lao He just wants to look up to the sky and sigh!
I just want the young master to live a peaceful life, is it so difficult?
Damn bandits!
I don’t know how to stop or stop!
Ancestors of the Zhang family, please don’t teach me anything at night!
It took a lot of effort to bury it. Let’s take a rest!
