"Ms. sir, what you said is not based on your conscience. Sister Xiaorou is doing it for the village and for you. How can you say that she is fooling around?"
Tang Xiaobei defended Guan Xiaorou: "At that time, the county magistrate was about to close the factory, and the people sent were already on the way. In that case, what do you think sister Xiaorou should do?"
"I..." Jin Feng was stopped by the question.
Thinking about it from his perspective, if he was in the village at that time, he really couldn't think of a good solution.
Although Guan Xiaorou's method was outrageous, it was the fastest way to defeat Cai Liuyang's plan.
"Okay, we are still far away from Jinchuan now. No matter you are itchy or really unhappy, if you can't reach it, it's all in vain."
Tang Xiaobei scooped a spoonful of broth for Jin Feng: "Hurry up and eat and rest. We have to get up early tomorrow and go on the road."
"I don't know how Xiaorou and the others are doing now!"
Jin Feng picked up the bowl and sighed slightly.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Tang Xiaobei comforted him.
After dinner, the two went to bed early.
Perhaps because of the news during the day, Jin Feng had a very uneasy sleep and kept having nightmares.
In his dream, Xihewan was invaded by bandits. When he went back, he only saw a mess.
He desperately searched for Guan Xiaorou and Tang Dongdong, but after searching through the ruins of the village, he could not find any trace of Guan Xiaorou and Tang Dongdong.
The two of them never saw anyone when they were alive, and never saw their corpses after they died.
Jin Feng was so anxious that he shouted their names loudly.
Then he was awakened by the sound of talking in his sleep.
Normally, if Tang Xiaobei heard Jin Feng calling Tang Dongdong's name in his dream, he would definitely make fun of him.
But not this time.
She could tell that Jin Feng's tone just now was very anxious and scary.
"Having a nightmare?"
Tang Xiaobei lit the candle, lifted the teapot from the small stove, and poured a bowl of warm water for Jin Feng.
Jin Feng took the tea bowl and opened the tent a crack.
Realizing that it was already dawn, Jin Feng simply stopped sleeping, drank water, and started to get dressed.
Thousands of miles away, Guan Xiaorou and Tang Dongdong didn't sleep either.
Yesterday afternoon, the bandits rushed to the outskirts of Xihewan.
However, the bandits probably also knew that with the small number of people they had at that time, it was almost impossible to break through the fortress of Xihewan, so they did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they plundered the villages around Xihewan and settled in the surrounding areas.
In this case, how could Guan Xiaorou sleep?
Not only the two of them, but most of the people in the village were awake and were always on guard against bandits.
The fortress outside the village was built to deal with large armies and could block the road into the village. However, there are many hills around Xihewan. Hunters who are familiar with the terrain can sneak into the village from these places.
After all, Jin Feng couldn't surround the entire village with a fortress.
In order to prevent bandits from sneaking into the village, the tiger hunting team lit bonfires around the entire village.
The frequency of patrols has also been doubled.
But who knew that in the middle of the night, there would be fog in the mountains.
It was just a light mist at first, but the deeper the night went, the thicker the fog became.
By dawn, the fog was so thick that no one could be seen even three steps away.
"Sister-in-law, this is not a good situation!"
Xiaoyu looked at the thick fog and frowned: "The fog is so thick. If the bandits take advantage of the fog to enter the village, they will be in trouble."
“It’s true that God doesn’t even help me!”
Guan Xiaorou sighed and said: "Find someone to tell the three village chiefs to call up all the tiger fighting teams and increase the number of patrols. No one can sneak into the village!"
"Okay!" Xiaoyu turned around and left.
But before he could reach the door, he suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance.
In the fog, the southeast direction was red.
Guan Xiaorou's heart tightened and she subconsciously looked at Xiaoyu.
The fog was so thick that Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on at this time, but she quickly calmed down and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there must be a fire somewhere. If the bandits attack, the escort will definitely fire arrows."
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two sharp whistles came from the southeast.
Then there was a violent explosion.
Guan Xiaorou's expression changed, and she was about to arrange for someone to ask what was going on when she saw a female escort running into Yunzi.
"Madam, team leader, it's bad, the bandits set fire to the No. 2 and No. 3 forts."
The female escort said quickly: "An oil jar was thrown onto the grenade box in Fortress No. 3, and the grenade box was set alight!"
"What?"
Tang Dongdong staggered and almost fell to the ground with weak legs.
Fortresses No. 2 and 3 are at the entrance of the village. The breach of these two fortresses almost opened the door to Xihewan.
"How could this happen?" Xiaoyu was also surprised.
But Guan Xiaorou, who had always been weak, became extremely calm at this time and asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The female escort wiped the sweat from her face and quickly explained the matter.
The bandits did not take advantage of the heavy fog to sneak into the village as Guan Xiaorou thought. Instead, they secretly took the oil jar and approached the fortress from the front.
In normal times, it would be impossible for the bandits to succeed.
However, the fog was too heavy just now. By the time the bodyguard on guard at the fortress noticed something unusual, the bandits had already arrived below the fortress.
Then the densely packed oil jars smashed up.
Although the fortress was made of concrete, it burned as if it were stained with oil.
The heavy crossbows and catapults built on top of the fortress were also destroyed by the flames.
Two indestructible fortresses were destroyed in this way.
"Madam, team leader, the bandits have entered the village, please come up with an idea quickly!" the female escort said anxiously.
"Inform the tiger squad to block me immediately!"
Guan Xiaorou shouted coldly with red eyes: "Tell the three village chiefs that no matter what, bandits will never be allowed to enter the village!"
"Yes!" the female escort agreed, turned around and ran away.
"Xiaoyu, please send someone to mobilize the female workers on the day shift and try their best to help the tiger team!"
Guan Xiaorou looked at Xiaoyu again: "If you can't see clearly, let them move freely and kill the bandits directly if they see them!"
According to the plan, if bandits come during the day, the female workers on the day shift will be responsible for protecting the textile factory and iron smelting workshop, while the female workers on the night shift who are resting at home will be responsible for assisting the anti-tiger team in driving the bandits out of the village.
"Yes!" Xiaoyu also left.
Guan Xiaorou grabbed Tang Dongdong, turned around and rushed into the textile factory.
The female workers had long heard the noise outside. Some were curious, some were afraid, and some were ready to make a move.
However, I often see female escorts training, and the female workers are also affected. Although they are not able to follow the orders and prohibitions, no one leaves the workshop.
They all endured the curiosity and fear in their hearts and waited silently.
Seeing Guan Xiaorou and Tang Dongdong come in, all the female workers immediately cheered up and silently picked up the crossbows beside them.
"Sisters, bandits have entered the village. Those who don't want to be ruined or die, stand up!"
Guan Xiaorou raised her trumpet and shouted.
Wow!
All the female workers stood up.
"Very good! As mentioned before, the first workshop will guard the east and south walls, and the second workshop will guard the west and north walls!"

I didn't sleep well yesterday, and I didn't take a nap today either. Now I am so sleepy that I nod my head and go to sleep.
