The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Mrs. Lin closed her eyes weakly. At this point, it was useless for her to say anything, and she couldn't open her mouth to stop it.

"It's too early to make a decision now. If it really comes to that, I won't stop you. Before that, let's see what happens outside first."

After a pause, she continued, "Dashan and Erhe, you stay at home and build up the walls for the next two days. Tomorrow I will go to the village chief's house and bring back a dog. The dog will be alert and can always prevent someone from breaking in. When the walls are built, I will go to your third grandmother's house and ask her to let Sulan and Cui'e take the kids to live in her house for a while. Her house is in the middle of the village, farther from the foot of the mountain and with more people around. It is much safer than ours."

After the children nodded in agreement, Mrs. Lin sighed silently.

She was an ordinary woman who didn't know much, and these were all she could think of.

She couldn't predict what would happen next, so she could only make sufficient preparations and leave the rest to fate.

The news of the government's reward had spread throughout the village by mid-afternoon, and the village, which had been depressed for a long time, became even more turbulent.

The villagers also estimated the situation they might face next.

For a while, women, servants and able-bodied men from every household rushed to each other to discuss countermeasures. There were many families who, like the Lin family, built walls around their courtyards and raised dogs.

In the village, families with dogs had their extra dogs taken away by villagers, begging and clamoring. The village chief's family was particularly bad, so even the puppies that were only a few days old were taken away from them.

Everyone in the village was in panic.

Time passed quietly.

As the New Year approaches, the Yuxi Village does not feel any of the excitement and joy of the approaching New Year.

A few days ago, several surrounding villages gathered people, and hundreds of strong men rushed to the north of the mountain.

As expected, the people who went up the mountain came back empty-handed, as the bandits had already fled upon hearing the news.

The solemn atmosphere in Yuxi Village reached its peak at this point, because some people saw the bandits fleeing into the Shennv Mountains behind their village.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was snowing heavily again. The walls were covered with white snow and the dark tiles were wrapped in silver.

The village was quiet after nightfall, and no one was seen on the road.

The white snow reflected a bright light in the night, shrouding the entire village in a hazy gloom.

The wind was howling, the snow was flying, and a series of rapid dog barkings suddenly penetrated the wind and snow and spread into every household.

"Wangwu——"

"Wang Wang Wang! Wang Wang!"

In an instant, all kinds of movements gathered. Villagers holding torches rushed out of their homes one after another, gathered on the road in front of their homes, and then rushed towards the end of the village. "Here they come! At the end of the village, hurry over to save them, we can't let the bandits break into the village!"

It is dinner time for the farmers.

The Lin family members all ate in the kitchen. The women and children had been living in Lin Sannai's house during this period. They only went home to eat at mealtime every day and then went back to stay after dinner.

Unexpectedly, I ran into this situation today. The bandits chose to break in at this time, and along with them came their wild and loud laughter.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the first family would catch a fat sheep and live in a big tiled house! There must be a lot of money!"

"Brothers, I'm in the kitchen! Come with me, break the arms and legs of any men you see, and throw away any kids who are in the way. I hate it most when kids cry and scream! If there are any pretty women, strip them naked and drag them out to reward us for our hard work in hiding! The rest of us should go in and look for silver and grain as usual!"

"Damn you, I've been chased for so long that I'm just waiting to go into the village to vent my anger! Listen up, everyone in the house, be sensible! If the brothers are happy, they can even spare your lives!"

Dirty language and flirting are unbearable to the ears.

And there are a lot of people coming.

"According to the plan! Erhe, take the knife and follow me out! Mother, Sulan! Close the kitchen door and don't come out!"

Lin Dashan reacted quickly when the dog barked. He took down the bow and arrow hanging on the wall and ran out.

Lin Erhe grabbed the hatchet at the corner of the door and followed closely behind.

Young people are full of blood and passion. Just thinking about their wives and children being humiliated and killed makes them bloodshot with murderous intent. How can they care about being afraid?

The six-month-old puppy brought from the village chief's house ran after the two men with its tail spread out, snarling fiercely at the invading criminals.

Mrs. Lin reacted just as quickly. After her two sons rushed out of the kitchen, she immediately closed the kitchen door, took the door-locking stick, and after a moment's pause, she held the door tightly shut. Tears welled up in her eyes at this moment, and the hot tears made her eyes bloodshot.

This time my son went out to fight the bandit Vortex.

As a mother, the pain is like a knife piercing my heart, making it hard to breathe.

But behind this wooden door, there are more people to protect.

"Mother, mother... please open the door," the sudden change made the young woman unable to react. Zhang Cui'e's face was full of tears. She held her mother-in-law's arm tightly with both hands and begged, "Let me out, I have the strength, I can fight, let me go to help Erhe... Mother, let me go to help him!"

Li Sulan had already picked up the kitchen knife. The bones of her fingers holding the knife turned white, and her eyes were determined. "Life or death is up to fate! Mother, let me go, I won't regret it!"

Lin Jiang had already lit a torch at this moment, and even put in the kerosene that he usually didn't want to use, "Mom, I can use fire to cooperate with my elder brother and second brother!"

Seeing her daughter-in-law and youngest son trying to fight, Granny Lin almost bit the soft flesh in her mouth in pain and shouted, "Stay!"

Then she warned in a low voice, "Dashan and Erhe are not stupid. As long as we can hold the bad guys back for a while, the villagers will arrive and we can still have a chance to survive. This is also the countermeasure we have discussed in advance! If you rush out now, you will only disrupt your own people. Are you ready to die together? Think about why Dashan and Erhe are risking their lives!"

It’s to keep them alive.

The kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang, and the two young women collapsed on the ground and sobbed. The boys had already been frightened and couldn't even cry out.

Amid the chaos and war, no one noticed that the youngest girl in the family was the calmest.

Bai Xiang didn't like his grandmother and mother crying, and this realization was especially obvious when he saw their tears.

He got angry at the person who broke into his house.

The little man stood in front of the kitchen door, tilted his head and looked out through the tiny crack in the door. Quietly, from the palm of his left hand with his fingers slightly curled up, a thick black gas invisible to ordinary people rose up and drilled out of the narrow crack in the door.

Thinking of her beloved father and second uncle outside, Bai Xiang lightened the color of the black energy by half with some pain.

At this time, the shouting outside was even louder, and the bandit's voice was full of murderous intent, "Two people dared to come out and fight us. Do you think you are brave enough with just a bow and a hatchet? You are ignorant! Since you want to die, I will send you on your way!"

Lin Dashan and Lin Erhe were blocking the kitchen door, their bows already drawn, arrows pointed directly at the leader of the bandits, their voices furious and cold, "Bows and arrows have no eyes, you'd better not act rashly!"

Then he softened his tone, "You all broke in here mainly for money and food. As long as you don't touch my family, you can take all the money and food in the house! But if you insist on hurting people, we two brothers are not vegetarians. We will take you with us even if we have to risk our lives!"

Lin Erhe followed his elder brother's instructions, swung the hatchet in his hand swiftly, and made a full-scale attack against the twenty or so bandits.

There was no point in being afraid now, and he and his elder brother could not back down at all.

The leader of the bandits raised his chin and sneered at the two brothers, "I treat you as a sharp archer who can shoot arrows through a hundred steps. How many people can you kill at the same time with just a bow? Brothers, do it!"

When they heard the word "action", the women and children of the Lin family behind the kitchen door immediately became furious!

The sorrowful screams penetrated the door and walls and pierced the night sky, the voice was weeping and bloodshot, "Dashan! Erhe!!"
