On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

In the next two days, Song Xile asked Qiao Da to strengthen the surrounding defenses, and she also moved back to her parents' home.

Of course, Chen Yunyou also moved in with his wife's parents' home, under the pretext that there was a shortage of manpower and he needed to help the county magistrate share his worries.

Although Mr. Chen was reluctant, he did not dare to stop it because of the county magistrate's reputation.

The couple does not have the time to confront it now. What they are most concerned about right now is to prevent the victims from being affected.

The whole day was busy until dark, and the Song family had a rare moment of free time to sit in the yard and eat dinner.

After serving porridge to everyone, Yang said with some concern: "I heard from the villagers who came to buy seeds today that yesterday some disaster victims came to their village to rob. Fortunately, there were few victims and they failed in the end!"

Song Cheng, who was standing by, heard this and said anxiously, "Mom, we have so many pumpkins in our village. Do you think these disaster victims will come to our village?"

Old Song picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with chopsticks and put it into his youngest son's bowl, and scolded him, "You are the only one who talks too much, why don't you eat quickly?"

Song Cheng knew that he had said something wrong, so he immediately picked up the bowl and started drinking the porridge.

Although the family no longer talked about this matter, everyone present knew in their hearts that their village was indeed a popular place in the eyes of these disaster victims.

Fortunately, the villagers of Songjia Village are very united, and there are constant patrols in the village. The victims who want to enter the village to rob have to think twice.

After a busy day, everyone was tired. After dinner and washing up, the family went to bed early to rest.

The entire Songjia Village fell into silence, with only people patrolling with torches in their hands, paying attention to the movements around them.

Steward Zhou led nearly a thousand disaster victims, avoiding the village entrance and going around the mountain, heading straight for the Song family's warehouse where pumpkins were stored.

In the past two days, Manager Zhou mixed in with the villagers who were buying pumpkins and came to Songjia Village to investigate.

He knew where to start to give them the best chance of success.

These days, housekeeper Zhou only gave these people a black steamed bun and a bowl of clear porridge with rice grains counted on it every day. He did not let them eat enough and just kept them hanging like this.

As long as these people remain hungry, it will be beneficial to him.

As long as he promised to keep them well fed, these people would be driven by it.

Just as he expected, when he promised to come here to grab pumpkins, and anyone who grabbed a pumpkin would get 50 kilograms of food, the victims were tempted!

In the early hours of the morning, when people were most sleepy, the victims numbly followed housekeeper Zhou and went straight to the Song family.

Despite the cover of night, the noise of nearly a thousand days was quite loud and soon woke up the alert Qiao brothers. The two brothers looked at each other, and Qiao Er decisively woke up the others.

Qiao Da took the bow and arrow and went straight out the door.

The night was as dark as ink, but the low and chaotic footsteps coming from afar were clearly audible, making his heart instantly rise to his throat.

With many years of military experience, he instantly realized the danger.

Without thinking, he immediately struck the gong and hit it hard.

“Dang——!” A clear and loud gong sound suddenly exploded in the quiet night sky, like thunder, echoing in the quiet night sky.

At the same time, Song Xile, who was sleeping, was awakened by Ah Li's warning, "Host, danger is approaching!"

She sat up suddenly from the bed and heard the warning sound of a gong.

The villagers were also awakened by the sudden noise and sat up from their dreams.

Soon, they realized that someone was trying to break into the village. Everyone put on clothes, lit torches, picked up hoes or sickles, and rushed towards the direction of the warning.

The people of Songjia Village reacted quickly. The victims looked at the countless torches that appeared in an instant and were terrified. They had been discovered!

Fortunately, these people were not soldiers with strong psychological qualities. They just hesitated on the spot and dared not move, which also gave the people of Songjia Village time to gather their men.

The flaming torches dyed half the sky red. Song Xile stood at the front and advised the skinny and miserable disaster victims across from him: "Since you villagers are in trouble, why don't you go to the county government to seek help?"

"Our county magistrate cares about the people and has prepared relief for the victims early on. Anyone who has fled here and is homeless can go to the county government to receive food. Work-for-relief will also be carried out later. The villagers clearly still have a way to make a living, so why do they want to break the law and commit robbery?"

The other party obviously didn't expect Song Xile to say that. They ran all the way from Nanyang County and were forced here by someone. They had never heard of such news.

We are all honest and decent citizens who have never committed murder or robbery. Now that we hear that the county government will open its granaries to provide relief, how can we still think of robbing?

An old man asked excitedly: "Is what the lady said true? Are you trying to deceive us?"

Song Xile said solemnly: "Don't lie to me, old man. The county magistrate was collecting food for you two days ago in the city, and my family also donated 5,000 kilograms of food."

When the disaster victims heard this, they became uneasy.

When Butler Zhou heard this, he was so angry that his teeth itched. He shouted, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Don't be fooled by her lies! You all know what kind of people the officials are. How could they collect food for us?"

"I think she is just stalling for time so that the police can arrest us!"

After listening to what Butler Zhou said, the victims suddenly came to their senses. Yes, it would be good enough if the officials did not exploit them. How could they be so kind?

The crowd started to clamor again, and everyone was ready to rush over.

Song Xile hurriedly shouted, "The world has been peaceful for many years, and the court will never allow the victims to cause chaos. Fellow villagers, aren't you afraid that this action will implicate your family members?"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "We are all going to die anyway, so it would be a loss for us to eat a full stomach before we die!"

"That's right, even being beheaded is better than starving to death!"

"Nonsense, who said you will starve to death?" Song Xile assured, "We can promise the villagers that as long as you don't rob, if the county government doesn't provide relief food, then I will pay for the food!"

Manager Zhou said sternly: "Fellow villagers, she is stalling for time. Don't listen to her nonsense and try to deceive us!"

Chen Yunyou, who had been observing silently, also noticed something at this time.

He walked over to Qiao Da and pointed at Manager Zhou, who had a ruddy face and no trace of a disaster victim in the crowd, and said, "Can you shoot this person? It's better not to shoot him to death."

Qiao Da looked in the direction Chen Yunyou pointed and instantly understood what he meant.

He glanced at the opponent's position, drew the bow, and shot the arrow, all in one smooth movement.

With a whoosh sound, the feather arrow flew out from the Xuan, and with a puff sound, it sank into the flesh.

Before Butler Zhou could react, a sharp sword was instantly pierced into his chest, followed by great panic.

The followers who came with Steward Zhou were all horrified when they saw this, and they picked up the steward and tried to run away!
