Crossing the Unknown Country

After the battle, the number of casualties in several villages has been reported to the government. Some villages suffered a lot of casualties and were reduced to a small village. Su He's Shili Village had the least casualties this time and was also the most dangerous village. The first village attacked by the Dongjie Army was theirs. Their village was commended by the government and the village chief was also rewarded.

Su He's family also thought that they needed to make more preparations after this danger. If the bad guys came directly to the village, how would they run? How to escape in the shortest time. A passage must be dug in the room so that they can enter the passage without leaving the room. They are at the junction of three countries and are in a dangerous area. If possible, it would be best to move away from here. Their Su family hid here at the time, and no one remembered them for so many years. They should be able to move a little further in, farther away from the border.

All considerations must be based on money. This can be their hometown, and they can also settle down somewhere else. Su He felt that she was too young, which restricted the realization of her ideas. How come others who traveled through time are all adults, and she is such a small child. If she goes out, no one will trust her. She is lucky to have such a smooth journey in the town, but it may not be the same outside. After all, this place is small and there are few people who can read. They just have a little advantage because things are rare. If they go to the county town and the capital, there are many academies and private schools, and scholars are everywhere. Their knowledge is not enough.

They still need to learn more knowledge, and I need to study medicine well. After studying for a few years, I will grow up a little, and then it may be smoother to go out. My brothers have also grown up, and we can go out together. When there is no war, we can also go to the border town for a walk.

Su He told his father about the benefits of tunnels. The village should dig a tunnel leading to the mountain, so that everyone can be safer. When the time comes, people will go underground first, so it will be easier to run. Just under the big locust tree in the village, the stone table underground can be used as an entrance, and another entrance can be placed at the end of the village. With two entrances, the whole village will be able to escape. Su He's father thought this was a good idea. They dug a few more dead-end roads in the cave so that their own people would know how to go, and it would be safe.

Su Hedie went to the village chief to talk about this matter at night. After listening to Su Hedie's story, the village chief thought that this was a good idea. In this way, as long as the villagers went down into the tunnel, they would be basically safe. If they passed by someone's house, they could also dig directly from their home, so they could run faster.

The next day, the village chief called together the villagers to discuss the matter of digging a tunnel. A tribe is easy to discuss. If the tribe chief and the elders of the tribe agree, it means the matter is done. Anyway, it is for the good of the whole village. With the majority approval, they can start digging tomorrow. There is no shortage of stones in their village. There are plenty of them on the back mountain. As long as the route is determined, it will be very troublesome this time. Everyone wants to pass through near their home, so that the family can find a secret place to dig through, which can also increase the chance of their family escaping.

Finally, the village chief drew a shortest straight line and passed by any house along the line. The villagers finally agreed to build the road this way, which would shorten the escape time and get to the back mountain.

In addition, a river was diverted from the outside of the village, so that the village had an extra protection. A wooden bridge was built over the ditch, which was pulled up at night and lowered during the day. When the enemy was seen coming, the wooden bridge was directly pulled up. This was the best way at present. The male owner of another wealthy family had been outside and saw such a defense facility in a county town.

The village chief was discussing with everyone in the village what to do if the enemy came at night. Now it was dark at night and nothing could be seen. When the enemy arrived, it would be too late. He went home and thought carefully, and then he remembered the county town he had seen. He went back and told the village chief that there happened to be a river in their village. If they just connected the water, everything would be solved.

The village was very busy during this period. The whole village started digging ditches and tunnels, and some people went to the mountains to collect stones. Su He's father went to the village to work, and the family was busy at home, dividing their time between studying, collecting herbs, and digging small tunnels at home.
