The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 849 Hi! Lonely Army~

Before Li Xuemei entered the house, Rong Mama came to greet her.

The most eye-catching thing is the baby hanging on her chest, wrapped in a cloth belt, with two fat little legs exposed. The round little head was resting comfortably on Rong Mama, with the little mouth slightly open and sleeping soundly.

Li Xuemei completely relaxed.

She felt completely relieved when she left the child in the care of Madam Rong.

Look, how well this child is taken care of.

She was wrapped up and walked like this without even waking up.

Look at that face, trembling and red, like a ripe red apple.

When Aunt Rong saw her coming back, she smiled gently and kindly.

I helped her get some water to wash her face and hands.

He gestured to ask her if she wanted to eat.

Li Xuemei nodded.

I want to eat hot noodles with soup, and I also want to eat homemade pickles.

Aunt Rong hurried to the kitchen to prepare.

Mrs. Tian heard the noise and came out to look. Seeing that it was her who came back, the little old lady was so excited that she trotted over from the door and grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.

"You're back, I'm glad you're back. Did you see Xiao Er? I got the news about the war in Hu Ju, and it scared me. If the village hadn't been receiving letters from you, I would have wanted to go look for you."

The little old lady couldn't hold it back, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back.

Li Xuemei: "Yes, Xiaoer is fine, her uncle and her master are all fine. We have won the battle and the Xizhou Army has driven them away. Only these Xirong who came in from Longxing Pass are left. They will not be able to act recklessly for a few days."

Mrs. Tian smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "It's good that we won, good."

"The village wants us to run through the tunnel, but I don't think it's that bad yet. We have high walls and many people in the village who can shoot arrows. We can hold out for a few days. If we can't stand it anymore, we can run away. The village chief said that he has sent a letter to Huju. The old man is there, and your eldest brother is also there. They will not ignore us after receiving the letter. Xiaoya is small and strong, but he can't stand it. I have packed all the things and picked out what we can use. If the time comes, we can just carry our things and run away."

Some families in the village left through the tunnel first, but Mrs. Tian, ​​considering her children and wanting to wait for Li Xuemei, did not move. The villagers came to persuade her again and again, but she was tough on the outside but worried on the inside and was under tremendous pressure.

"Xiao Yaer has been staying with Madam Rong these past two days. She didn't want to do it at first, but now she's used to it. Madam Rong is a good parent. Let her walk around like this more often so she doesn't get used to it."

Li Xuemei said sincerely: "Master's wife is really thoughtful."

If such a young child goes into the mountains and starts crying and cannot be comforted, it will easily attract wolves.

"Where is Qianchu?" Li Xuemei asked.

"Aunt, I'm here." Yan Qianchu came out of the cellar with bags hanging in front and behind him, bulging with food.

Li Xuemei: "We don't have to leave. Master's wife is right. We have been building high walls for so long. It's time to use them."

"Yan Er's wife." Village Chief Luo shouted outside the yard.

Li Xuemei responded and walked over quickly.

"We watched from afar. Those Western barbarians gathered together. There were also a few who came to explore our way. We shot two of them dead with arrows. The rest ran away. I don't know if they will come again."

Li Xuemei thought for a moment and said, "The barbarians are very vindictive. We blew up so many of them, so they will definitely seek revenge. But as long as we can hold on and let them know that we are not easy to mess with, they will probably give up."

Village Chief Luo said with emotion: "All the archers in the village are not at home. You are the best archer here now."

"I'll go to the arrow tower and take a look later." Li Xuemei said decisively. At this time, it is natural for the capable to step up and take the lead. "By the way, village chief, how many crossbow beds are there in our village? Count them and move them all to the arrow tower. Not only the riverside, but also all around are on guard. The barbarians are cunning and may come from anywhere, but they will mainly attack the riverside." "Also..." Li Xuemei paused and said, "If they can't beat us and can't do anything to us, they will probably attack other villages and towns, or be braver and go to Yongning."

"No way!" Village Chief Luo opened his eyes wide, "Yongning City is guarded by many soldiers. If they dare to go there, we will kill them!"

"In the Battle of Huju, a lot of soldiers were withdrawn not only from Yongning but also from various cities in Guanzhou. So Longxing couldn't be defended," Li Xuemei said softly.

Village Chief Luo's face turned serious.

Of course not. They only received the letter from the scholar, guarded the river, used explosives to blow up the barbarians, and knew it was because Longxing upstream was not defended. But they did not think deeply about why Longxing could not be defended. One reason was that there were too many barbarians, and the other was that Longxing had too few soldiers.

What about Yongning? There are not enough soldiers there!

The prince went to the capital, and the crown prince was fighting in Huju.

The battle of Huju lasted for so long. Xiaoan Village was located between Yongning and Huju. They not only knew about it, but also saw it happen.

How many soldiers are left in Yongning City now?

If the barbarians attack them, can they hold on?

"Yongning is the capital after all, with high walls and thick walls. If we are determined to defend it, we can still defend it. But I am afraid they don't know that the barbarians will come by water, pass our village, and then go down and turn into the river of Yongning."

Li Xuemei usually doesn't talk much, because there are many people who make decisions in the family. But in the current situation, it is obviously not the time to keep a low profile. She has to say what needs to be said and make the decisions that need to be made.

Compared with the current people in the village, she and her child's aunt are the ones who have truly experienced a series of wars.

War is indeed a good way to train people.

At least Li Xuemei didn't feel much panic when looking at the barbarians now. She was only thinking about how to kill them as quickly and efficiently as possible.

"We have to report the news to the capital city, as well as the nearby villages and towns, and even Gufeng City."

"Those who have fled from Xizhou should be gathered together. Those who haven't entered the fort should be asked to move in quickly. Those who have fled to the mountains should be chased back if possible. Those who came to work here from other villages should go back if they want to. If they feel their homes are safe, they can stay home. If they think our place is better, they can come. People from nearby villages can come if they want. We are guarding the fort and have enough weapons. As long as we have enough people, we can definitely hold it."

"We'll kill anyone who dares to attack us." Li Xuemei looked at Village Chief Luo, her eyes burning with fire. "If the barbarians dare to come, we'll kill them."

She learned what Village Chief Luo said.

Yan Qianchu had been listening on the side. As he listened to his aunt's words, he felt a surge of heat rising up and felt quite uneasy.

In a low voice, with only his own, he repeated: "Kill them."

Her white fingertips clenched and she gripped her dress unconsciously, as if the tighter she gripped, the bolder she would become.

There is courage in numbers and there is strength in numbers.

Having just had a head-on battle with a group of barbarians, Li Xuemei felt more and more that they could defend Xiaoan Village.

Not only can we defend it, but we can also do more.

There are two sides to the story.

It is certainly dangerous that the Western Rong suddenly arrived at the doorstep, but from another perspective, these barbarians who divided their troops to attack Longxing and broke into Guanzhou may, no, definitely not know that Guanzhou had already won the Battle of Huju.

They are like an isolated army, deep in our territory!

I saw the time was up and I almost made it, so I repeated a paragraph. I have already modified it, so I just need to refresh it.
