Chapter 69 The mountain bandits are here!
"Ms. sir, are you going to fight the bandits?"
Su Xiaoyue pulled Zhang Bao's clothes timidly and asked.
Although before.
Su Xiaoyue also vowed to Zhang Bao that she would also fight against the bandits when they came.
But when I really heard that the bandits were coming.
Su Xiaoyue was still very scared.
Bandits previously entered the village, burned, killed and looted, which had left a very frightening psychological shadow on her.
It is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.
"Don't worry!"
"This time, the bandits can't even enter the village!"
Zhang Bao touched Su Xiaoyue's head.
"You close the door at home!"
"You must hide!"
"I'm leaving!"
Zhang Bao said, picked up the engineering shovel and rushed out.
But they found Su Xiaoyue holding a crossbow and running out behind her.
"Why are you following me?"
"Go back quickly!"
Zhang Bao was a little helpless.
"I won't go back!"
"I will go wherever you go!"
Su Xiaoyue shook her head stubbornly.
Last time, when Zhang Bao went out to rescue Lao He.
Su Xiaoyue was waiting alone at home.
She never wanted to experience that kind of anxiety again.
Even if you die with Zhang Bao, you will die next to the one you love.
"oops!"
"Now the bandits haven't come yet!"
"I'm not going to fight the bandits. You go back and wait for me at home!"
Zhang Bao said helplessly.
"I don't!"
"I'm going to follow!"
Su Xiaoyue tugged hard on the quiver behind her, with a stubborn look on her face.
Zhang Bao looked helpless.
He had no choice but to take Su Xiaoyue with him and walk towards the entrance of the village.
Now.
In the entire village, only the mud walls and courtyards in the direction of the village entrance barely formed a line of defense.
On the road at the entrance of the village, not only many deep holes were dug, but also many large stones and horizontal logs were placed.
Even if the bandits wanted to rush in quickly on horseback, it would be difficult to do so.
And this open space.
It is within the shooting range of the village entrance.
Avoid close combat.
This is the best way to preserve your vitality.
Under the arrangements of Lao He and Hu Dugu.
All the archers and the two teams gathered at the entrance of the village, looking for a suitable attack position.
And the bows and arrows that had been prepared before were also ready in their respective positions.
The remaining women and children hid in their homes after building the city wall.
Nowadays, the tunnels in each household have not yet been fully formed, and their hiding function is limited.
You can only hide as much as possible.
Zhang Bao divided everyone into four groups.
They took turns guarding the entrance to the village, and archers were placed behind the wall and on the roofs of several houses.
The people from the two teams were concentrated at the entrance of the village.
Everyone is ready!
Because we don’t know when the bandits will come.
But this time.
You absolutely cannot relax.
Once the bandits are discovered, they come down the mountain.
Hit the gong immediately.
Zhang Bao, Lao He, and Hu Dugu, plus the two captains, took turns to watch at the entrance of the village.
As for Li Daniu, his leg injury has not healed yet, so he can only keep doing bow and arrow work at home in frustration!
The whole next day.
There was no movement.
In the middle of the second night, after Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue had something to eat, they walked towards the entrance of the village.
According to the shifts of Zhang Bao and the others.
Zhang Bao is here from midnight today to the next day.
Originally there was no need for Zhang Bao.
But Zhang Bao also participated.
Su Xiaoyue insisted on going with Zhang Bao, but Zhang Bao couldn't resist her, so he had to let her follow.
At this time, the village was dark and silent.
Winter nights are not like summer nights.
There will be insects chirping and frogs chirping.
There was deathly silence all around.
In order to prevent Zhang Bao and others from being discovered, the people they were on duty in the village did not have any firelight.
at this time.
Except Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue were watching from the roof.
There are also several people from the Zhang family's tenant team, who are on guard in several courtyards near the entrance of the village.
There were also a few archers, taking turns taking a rest inside the house.
It's not enough to have a small number of people.
In such a completely silent environment, it is easy to fall asleep.
If there are several people, they can also remind each other.
"How about it?"
"Is it cold?"
"How about you go to the room below and rest?"
Zhang Bao unfolded a quilt and covered him and Su Xiaoyue.
Su Xiaoyue pressed tightly against Zhang Bao's body and shook her head.
"Ms. sir, you are so beautiful!"
Su Xiaoyue pointed to the stars in the sky.
Zhang Bao also looked up at the sky.
At this time, the sky is filled with stars twinkling.
Under this sky, people seem very insignificant.
"yes!"
"The stars in the sky no matter how the earth changes, they will blink and watch the changes underground."
"But they seem to have remained unchanged forever."
Zhang Bao looked up at the stars and said.
"My lord, I heard that every one of us underground is like a star in the sky."
"When a person dies, a star will fall."
"Tell me, which star are we two?"
Su Xiaoyue curled up under the quilt and counted the stars in the sky with longing.
"Well, look at that, those two stars are very close together, maybe it's the two of us."
Zhang Bao didn't want to interrupt Su Xiaoyue's beautiful reverie, so he followed Su Xiaoyue's words.
"No, no, no, that star is too dark."
"Mr., you should be the one with the brightest one!"
Su Xiaoyue shook her head.
He pointed to the star in the northern sky and said.
"Silly girl, that's the North Star!"
"Look, it corresponds to a big spoon behind it."
Zhang Bao immediately hugged Su Xiaoyue tightly into his arms. Su Xiaoyue's face turned red and she leaned against Zhang Bao's shoulder obediently.
Look in the direction of Zhang Bao's finger.
"Wow!"
"There really is a big spoon!"
Su Xiaoyue had a look of surprise on her face.
For her, has she ever had the time to look at the starry sky?
Take a closer look at this time.
The vastness of the sky and the brightness of the stars really made Su Xiaoyue's heart flutter.
"Then I am the one closest to my husband."
"But what do the remaining ones mean?"
"Could it be that, sir, you will have six concubines in the future?"
Su Xiaoyue seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhang Bao with wide eyes.
"Six concubines?"
Zhang Bao has a black streak on his head.
If it weren't for Su Xiaoyue, he would really not be able to remember the current society, which is a polygamous society!
"Silly girl, you think so much!"
Zhang Bao gently knocked on Su Xiaoyue's head.
Su Xiaoyue didn't answer any more, but hugged Zhang Bao harder.
It was as if Zhang Bao would leave him at any time.
"Okay, let's go down and take a nap!"
After a while.
Zhang Bao heard that Su Xiaoyue was silent and thought that Su Xiaoyue was a little tired.
Look down.
Su Xiaoyue had already fallen asleep in her arms.
The small nose was slightly red from the cold.
Breathing softly, like a kitten.
It's so cute.
Zhang Bao gently tucked in the quilt, hugged Su Xiaoyue and looked around.
Nothing happened all night.
…
The morning star in the east has become clearer and clearer.
The air also gradually became moist.
Unknowingly.
There was actually mist rising from the ground.
"Master!"
"It's your shift, go back and rest!"
At this moment.
Lao He came to the courtyard and shouted to Zhang Bao on the roof.
Hearing Lao He's voice, Su Xiaoyue also woke up.
Blushing slightly, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and glanced at Zhang Bao sheepishly.
Zhang Bao smiled slightly.
"Let's go, get down!"
The moment Zhang Bao stood up.
Suddenly I saw a group of people appearing on the mountain road in the distance!
