In a mountain col to the west of the mountain village, an ancestral hall stands quietly.
This is a tall hall made entirely of stone, surrounded by lush trees, hiding him in the greenery, making it look particularly solemn.
In front of the ancestral hall, there are two mahogany doors. The paint on them has peeled off. It seems that they have been there for a long time, but they are still very strong.
A dozen young men were standing in front of the gate at this time. They were all dressed as hunters, holding crossbows in their hands and hunting knives on their backs. Their bulging muscles showed their toughness.
The leader was a dark-faced man, about twenty-four or five years old, with a square face and a steady look. At this time, he was looking at the mountain road leading to the ancestral hall with a worried look on his face.
This is Yaomei's cousin Zhuge Hong. He is a leader among the hunters in the mountain village. He is steady and meticulous, and has great prestige among the hunters. It is said that the old village chief, Zhuge Yaomei's father, is interested in making his village chief
The position was passed to him so that he could become the next village chief.
This time when a foreign enemy invaded, the old village chief led other hunters to defend against the enemy, and gave him the responsibility of protecting the elderly, weak, women and children in the village, which shows how much he is valued.
Standing in front of the ancestral hall, Zhuge Hong's heart had already flown to the village. He didn't know what the current war situation was like. Whether the old village chief had repelled the invading enemies and relieved the crisis in the ancient village.
These past few days, the ancient village has been troubled. First, someone suddenly entered the village during the few days when the fog in the ancient village dissipated every year. They burned, killed and looted before leaving. Then, there were unidentified people who invaded the village.
And it's not just one person, but a group of people.
When he thought of this, Zhuge Hong felt his heart heavy, as if a huge boulder was pressing on him, making him breathless.
The ancient village has existed for thousands of years. The descendants of Zhuge Wuhou have passed it on from generation to generation. It has been dozens of generations now and has long been out of touch with this society. Zhuge Hong has taken people out to sell mountain products many times, so it is not open to the outside world.
Know more.
It is precisely because of this that he is even more worried about the future fate of the ancient village.
In troubled times, it is impossible for the ancient village to truly stay on its own unless they are isolated from the world. But it is simply impossible for the ancient village today. If someone invades today, more people will come to the ancient village in the future. Then
How did the ancient village resist?
Seeing Zhuge Hong lowering his head and thinking deeply, a young man standing next to him spoke with an angry voice, "Third brother, what do you think the fighting in the village is like? Did the old village chief and his friends win?"
This man is Zhuge Hong's cousin. He is the fifth in Zhuge Yaomei's generation and is called Zhuge Shan. He is born with great strength and can lift hundreds of kilograms of boulders by himself. However, he is very simple and has a weak mind.
high.
Zhuge Hong shook his head, "I don't know, the enemy doesn't seem to be that easy to deal with this time."
"Let me tell you, why are we guarding this poor village? We might as well move to another place, it's not the same life." The speaker was Li Ran, an Orion who grew up with Zhuge Hong and was one of the few people with a foreign surname in the village.
One of the people.
At first, Li Ran's grandfather was framed and fled to the ancient village. He was killed by the old village chief at the time. From then on, they settled down and have always had a close relationship with the Zhuge family.
Li Ran was tall, similar to Zheng Xiao, with sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a handsome appearance. He was also a good hunter in the village and had the best relationship with Zhuge Hong.
Hearing what Li Ran said, Zhuge Hong frowned and seemed a little displeased, "Ran Zi, don't say such words in the future. The ancient village is the foundation of the Zhuge family. If the old village chief hears this, he will not treat you well."
It would be strange to scold him."
Seeing Zhuge Hong say this, Li Ran couldn't say anything else, so he kept silent.
At this time, the gunfire in the village became more intense, and occasionally there were one or two explosions from grenade launchers. It was almost as lively as the Chinese New Year, but hearing it in the ears of the people in front of the ancestral hall was particularly anxious.
At this moment, the call of a turtle dove suddenly sounded on the mountain road, which sounded very urgent.
Zhuge Hong's expression suddenly changed. He waved his hand behind him and shouted, "Hurry, someone is coming up the mountain."
The chirping of the turtle dove was the code they had agreed upon, so Zhuge Hong heard that a hunter on guard at the mountain road must have discovered something unusual, so he raised the alarm.
A dozen hunters scattered and threw themselves on the ridge at the end of the mountain road, looking towards the mountain road.
The mountain col where the ancestral hall is located is located on a mountain ridge in the west of the village. To get to the ancestral hall from the village, you need to follow the mountain road and climb a mountain ridge before entering the mountain col.
The terrain here is difficult and the mountain road is narrow, so it may not be easy to get up.
Zhuge Hong believed that with the dozen of them and occupying the dangerous terrain here, even if dozens of people from the opponent came, they would not be able to charge forward.
After whistling, Zhuge Hong notified the hunters on the alert in the trees on the mountain road to withdraw and join everyone.
However, when a gunshot was heard, the cry of the turtle dove there suddenly stopped, and there was no more movement. Even though he whistled several times in succession, there was no response.
"It looks like something happened to Er Hei." Zhuge Hong's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that the people who came were so powerful. Er Hei was killed before he even managed to escape.
"Get ready to fight. Don't panic when you see someone later. Hold your ground before shooting." After experiencing a brief panic, Zhuge Hong calmed down. After all, he is an old hunter who has hunted blind bears and wild boars, and his mental quality is still the same.
Very good.
Everyone responded, they were all partners who had been together for a long time, they cooperated very well with each other, and they knew what was going on.
A dozen people were scattered behind a group of rocks and trees, staring intently at the rugged mountain road, waiting for the target to appear.
More than a minute later, a head appeared at the end of the mountain road. It was naked without a single hair, and the light refracted under the moonlight. This made Zhuge Hong stunned, "Grandma, who is this person? The head
Why is he so big?"
But then he saw clearly that it was not a head, but most of the exposed steel helmet, which he mistakenly thought was a bald head. Then the Japanese's short figure was also exposed from the mountain road, and the horse dung yellow military uniform looked particularly special.
Conspicuous.
"This is a Japs." Unlike Zhuge Yaomei, Zhuge Hong had seen a Japs in a town outside the mountains and recognized them at a casual glance. His heart was beating wildly, knowing that he was in trouble now.
He knew something about the fighting power of the Japanese. In the past, the corpses of bandits from the nearby hills were often hung at the entrance of the town. Those people were not easy to deal with, so they fell into the hands of the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Hong couldn't help but swallowed, "Damn it, why did the Japanese come to our village? I'm afraid it will be really troublesome now."
