Chapter 108: Counterattack and Counterattack (2)
Seeing that the old lady was confused and full of confusing vocabulary, he knew that there would be no result if he continued to ask. He turned to ask Old Man Mei:
"Tell me, what are these people doing in the ancestral hall?"
"Little... little... I don't know..."
Old Man Mei is a very conscientious farmer, and he is afraid of being hit on the head if a leaf falls. He originally disapproved of his wife’s belief in foreign religion, but seeing the old woman’s body getting stronger day by day, he felt that
It’s not bad to believe it. I didn’t expect to offend the devil Zhao Dachong.
"The two women haven't said anything to you and your wife?"
"The younger ones are growing crops. What's there to talk about with them..." Old Man Mei said this, but he thought in his heart: When the work team came to the village, they always behaved in a well-behaved manner.
Compared with bandits and officers and soldiers, there is a world of difference. But I couldn’t say this. I had to say it vaguely.
"The task force is here, it's your turn to take revenge."
This question struck a chord with my heart: One of Old Man Mei’s daughters was already married, but was taken over by a small gang leader and kept in a cottage. Now that the cottage has been destroyed, she doesn’t know whether she will live or die. Part 1
My second wife accidentally mentioned it in the church, and the female official named Du said that she would help search for him - maybe he was still alive, and if he found it, he would bring it back.
"Uncle Zhao, how dare you..." he replied tremblingly.
Before Old Man Mei finished speaking, Zhao Dachong glared at him and said: "Let me tell you, the working team will not stay long. The Australians are pirates from overseas. Even if the brothers from Green Forest can't deal with it, the imperial court will send troops."
They killed so many people in our village. They just took advantage of sneak attacks! Let me tell you, Mr. Xin has hundreds of men now. When the time comes, they will fight with real swords and guns. The Australians will take care of it.
He can run faster than a rabbit! Lao Mei! We are from the same village. If your family mixes with them, no one can protect you..."
Having said this, he paused and looked at him. Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the honest old man Mei. Zhao Dachong then said: "If you want to be fine for a long time, don't fool around with them.
Whatever they ask, you just ask them questions. You know what?"
When Zhao Dachong said this, he smiled again: "Actually, we are also a family - didn't your daughter also marry our brother?"
When the matter of his daughter was mentioned, old man Mei's lips began to tremble.
Zhao Dachong felt that it was almost done, so he put away his fake smile and said coldly: "If you have the ability, just go and talk in front of the work team and we'll see."
Having said this, Zhao Dachong raised his right hand, waved it in the air, and added: "When the time comes, hum!"
"Yes, yes, how dare I..."
Seeing that Old Mei's face had changed with fear, Zhao Dachong revealed his true meaning:
"Lao Mei!" he said, "don't you and your wife often go to foreign monks..."
"I won't go there anymore, I won't go--"
"Go, why don't you go." Zhao Dachong said, "Go often and get connected with the people inside. Watch how they usually sleep and where they keep their swords and guns. Come back and tell me. There will be rewards!"
Old Man Mei's feet went weak and he almost fell over. Even though he was an ignorant countryman, he knew that he was being asked to become a spy. If the Australians found out, they would be beheaded. The row of bloody heads at the entrance of the ancestral hall grinned.
The image immediately appeared in his mind.
"This, this, can't be done." Old Man Mei said incoherently.
"What's wrong with you? Are you tired of living?" Zhao Dachong raised his eyes like goldfish and scolded, "If you don't go now, I'll chop you two up and throw you into a pig pen to feed the pigs!"
"Just go ahead. It's your pleasure." Xin Nachun waved his hand carelessly, "All the acres of land you rent will be given to you!"
The land that Old Man Mei rented belonged to neither Zhao Dachong nor Xin Nachun, but these two demon kings had always been on the same page in the village, and the landowner did not dare to resist. She said this without feeling any violation.
Old man Mei supported his wife and walked out of Zhao's house. The sun outside was just right. He felt dizzy and felt like he had a nightmare.
"There is a church service tomorrow, and Father Lu asked you to go too." His wife reminded her naggingly.
"Just go." Old Man Mei said silently. He had not been baptized yet, but his heart had been moved a lot. His wife believed that he could go to heaven after he died. He followed his wife and listened to Lu Ruohua talk about a lot about what heaven is like.
It feels a bit similar to the Western paradise mentioned in the "Xuan Juan" that I heard a monk sing before, and it is probably a similar place.
Old Man Mei has also heard about things like the "Ten Commandments", "Hell", and "Purgatory". If he becomes a spy, the "God" who "knows everything and can do anything" may not easily forgive himself and his family.
Wife, right? Thinking of the scenes of hell that his wife vividly described, Old Mei’s hair stood on end. The imaginary scene felt scarier than when he went to the county town when he was a child and saw the picture of the eighteen levels of hell in the temple. He was pregnant with
Full of thoughts, he slowly supported his wife and walked away.
In the evening, it was windy and rainy. Zhao Dachong looked at the copper water leak and reported it to Xu Zheng, but Zhao Haiji still didn't bring anyone. He walked to the window irritably, opened a gap in the window guard and looked outside. It was dark outside.
, the rain was pouring down. Xin Nachun took off his coat, only wearing a bright red jacket and trousers underneath, with two white arms and a trace of chest exposed, and he was playing on the wooden couch.
A small knife with an ivory handle. Seeing him look like ants on a hot pot, he smiled and said:
"It's raining and dark. It's just the right time to enter the village. You won't miss anything."
"You know shit!" Zhao Dachong cursed impatiently. In fact, he himself didn't know what shit he knew either. He just felt an extreme uneasiness lingering around him. Sometimes, a thought would appear deep in his heart: Abort it.
After the task force, can Australians let it go?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, first three times, then five times, but then there was no sound. This was the code he and Zhao Haiji had agreed upon. He quickly knocked on the window guard, and someone had already come over and knocked gently.
Opened the courtyard door.
Zhao Dachong quickly opened the door, and with a gust of wind and rain, a dark figure flashed into the house. He was wearing a raincoat. He stood on the brick floor and dripped water. He took off his raincoat. The person who came was short and stocky, and his sneaky eyes looked around.
Sweep it. Once it falls on Xin Nachun, it can no longer be moved away.
"Third uncle?!" Zhao Dachong shouted in surprise.
The person who came was none other than his clan uncle: Zhao Haixie. He had been following Zhao Haiqing in the village, and he was overjoyed to be able to escape with his life this time.
Zhao Haixie hurriedly made a gesture to stop him and pushed the door latch. He threw the bamboo hat to the door, revealing his face. He sat down on the chair and said, "Pour some water! I have been hiding in the woods all day.
,,I’m dying of thirst.”
"Nachun! Pour some water for Uncle San!" Zhao Dachong greeted hurriedly. This Zhao Haixie was much more respectful than Zhao Haiji wanted Zhao Dachong to be - he was the one who lived through life and death with his father.
Xin Nachun quickly poured a bowl of strong tea, twisted his hips and brought it over, and called out sweetly: "Uncle San!"
"Okay, okay." Zhao Hai looked at her white breasts with fascination, and then looked at her round butt with lust and walked over. Then he raised his neck and drank the water.
Pushing the tea bowl on the table: "The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the ground is full of village warriors checking. I have to climb mountains and ridges for dozens of miles. I am exhausted."
"Uncle Eighth didn't even tell me that you were here..." Zhao Dachong said.
"It has nothing to do with Haiji." Zhao Haixie said, "He doesn't know I'm here at all." He snorted, "This kid has a soft waist, and he will sell people if he opens his mouth when he is caught - what he saw
It’s a little cub I brought.”
"The arrival of Third Uncle brings hope to everyone!" Zhao Dachong did not dare to make a mistake in front of this clan uncle and quickly complimented him.
Zhao Haixie also suffered a lot after the village was destroyed. After escaping, he slept in the open and begged for food along the way. Finally, he found Xin Nari. After contacting Zhao Dachong, the two of them made a plan to avoid going back to kill the Australians.
, he would have no chance of getting around in the local area in the future, not to mention there were so many relatives and brothers to avenge. So he followed others back to the village. He came in person because Zhao Dachong convinced him that he was easier to talk to than others.
.
"The Australians have all chased them to the border of Danzhou. We can finally get some air." Zhao Haixie drank enough water, "This time Xinsi pulled dozens of people to fight back."
!Revenge everyone!"
"I have already contacted all the family members in the village. Once I hit the gong, I can bring out dozens of people, even women can join the battle!" Zhao Dachong said excitedly.
Zhao Haixie stared at Xin Nachun for a long time, and then said: "Girls, don't go into battle, let people know the joke. Let's talk about the young men of each family, how many more can there be?"
"That's not much." Zhao Dachong's mood suddenly dropped, "Even a half-year-old boy plus an old man can handle more than forty people. How many people are there among you?"
"There are about fifty people." Zhao Haixie said, "But most of them are not from this area. They are afraid that they are not of the same mind as us."
"What's the point? Just allow them not to seal the sword for three days! The Australians will definitely fight back anyway, and we can't defend it, we can't occupy it, and the Australians can't take it away!"
Zhao Haixie glanced at his nephew and said slowly: "Okay, cruel enough! This is easy to deal with. I see that there is a guy like this in the area connected to the Thirteenth Village. He wants to come with us, so take them all with him."
.I don’t want to, hum…”
"Okay! Okay!" Zhao Dachong nodded repeatedly, "But what should we do next? Where can we take the people, their families, and their wealth, they all have to go somewhere."
"Go to Luomao Mountain!" Zhao Haixie and Xin Nari have already thought of a countermeasure. The Thirteenth Village area will definitely not be able to stay any longer. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity when the bandit suppression detachment starts to chase the bandits to the outside, beat one guy, and then
He took his troops, family members and belongings to Mount Luomao and went to Hu Lanyan.
"Hu Lanyan?" Zhao Dachong had heard of this colleague, "Are you reliable? He won't hack us."
"Haha, don't worry, Hu Lanyan is the party boss's brother-in-law." Zhao Haixi said, "The Luomaoshan that Hu Langan is looking at is the territory of the Miao people. He has to deal with both the Miao people and the bandit suppression team.
We went, but it was not too late for him to welcome us."
"But the bandit suppression team will also go to Luomao Mountain-"
"Do you think Luomao Mountain is fun? The Miao people are not easy to deal with. The miasma in the mountain is so heavy that people who don't know the way dare not go there. People in Australia are not familiar with the place and will not dare to go there for a while. We escaped here
Just take the formation!" Zhao Dachong lowered his voice, "Second Master Gou is also in Hu Lanyan's village. He is a man with great magical powers! He is connected to the Sea Lord outside."
The Gou family was originally a powerful force in the Green Forest underworld in Lingao. Ever since he was the first to be pulled out by the Time Travel Group, Zhao Dachong has always felt that his reputation was in vain.
"Gou Er?" Zhao Dachong was very disdainful, "In addition to Short Hair, Zhu Cai Lao also wants to catch him. He is a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river."
"Zhu Cai is not the only one who owns the sea." Zhao Hai said humorously, "His power is still there. I heard that his own wealth has not been disturbed by the bald-haired thieves, and he has a lot of treasures in his hands. Let's work together.
If you are in a group, when the situation changes, you can go down the mountain! The Australian guys are full of good things, and you will make a fortune if you catch something!"
"What should I do with the food?" Zhao Dachong asked.
"Xin and I discussed it that day, and we decided to make a big fuss. Burn all the houses in the Thirteenth Village, leave no food or shelter, and force everyone to follow us. If there are too many people, the ordinary earthen fence can be broken, so we are afraid
Can’t get food.”
"You can get food this way, but there will be more people..."
"You're stupid! We'll make fences along the way and ask the mud-legged guys to be the vanguard. By the time we get to Luomao Mountain, at least half of us will probably die, so we'll have enough food."
"Okay!" Zhao Dachong slapped his thigh, "That's it! How do we do it?"
"How many people are there in the Laoshizi work team now?"
"Twenty soldiers, five team members, and two women." Zhao Dachong said excitedly, "There are only twenty-eight in total. We have a hundred people together, three against one, we will win for sure!"
"It's hard to say." Zhao Haixie shook his head repeatedly, "The bald-haired thief's firearms are very powerful. If he attacks the ancestral hall clearly, I'm afraid he will be defeated. When they broke the stronghold, they hid far away and used blunderbuss.
We, we have nothing to do. We also set off ground cannons, which is so cruel!"
"Then what should we do, recruit more people?" Zhao Dachong thought about it, there is really no advantage in being three to one.
But Xin Nachun spoke up: "I think it's better to attack with force than to outwit it and catch it unawares."
"How to catch him off guard?" Zhao Haixie was very interested.
Xin Nachun said: "The Shorthairs are so powerful as firearms, why don't we destroy all the gunpowder? Let's use gunpowder and see how much stronger they can get!"
"This is a good trick! But how to make it bad?"
"The Mei family's pair of immortals are ready-made," Xin Nachun said.
Zhao Dachong disagreed: "These two old guys? It's impossible. They're trembling. It's okay to just ask for some news."
