Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Because many villages had suffered from bandits, everyone followed the example of Kaoshan Village. Some villages built walls directly like Kaoshan Village, while others built fences.

When the city wall of Kaoshan Village was half built, it was attacked by bandits again.

But this wave of bandits was different from the previous ones. They only knew a few mediocre kung fu skills and didn’t even have a decent weapon.

As early as the first time Xia Shengsheng encountered bandits, he bought more than 200 swords from Qiqi.

These swords were what Qiqi said. They were props that the crew had previously ordered, but they were made incorrectly, so they were made into authentic ones that were reproduced stroke by stroke.

The sword is extremely sharp, and even just holding it in your hand can intimidate many people.

Xia Shengsheng asked Xia Yi to distribute them to the young and middle-aged men in the village, and then taught everyone some skills to save their lives.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy in time.

The bandits' sneak attacks happened at night, when it was quiet and peaceful, so it might always be easier to strike.

The people on patrol that night were Xia Qi, Ma Er, Zheng Guoqu, and Zhu Laoliu.

Xia Qi was the first to notice the abnormality and he quickly rang the gong.

Notify everyone in the village and prepare for battle.

When everyone heard the sound of the gong, they all asked the elderly, the weak, women and children in their homes to hide, and the young and strong men rushed out with knives.

I thought there would be another life-and-death struggle.

But when the bandits saw hundreds of people rushing towards them with shining swords, some of them were so scared that they ran away, while others were so scared that their legs were shaking and they could not move at all.

Some of the braver ones wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into a house and steal some silver or food.

But he thought too simply. Not to mention that he didn't steal anything, even if he realized it, he wouldn't be able to escape again.

"Or did they let some of them escape? If I had known they would come back today, I would have caught them all even if I had to stay awake at night!"

"Humph! You bunch of bastards, you always want to harm people. Tell me, did you steal and rob people from other villages? Aren't you harming people? Today I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"

A few people looked at the captured bandits with indignation, wishing they could skin them alive with knives.

But it's just to scare these people.

The knives in their hands were brand new, without a drop of blood on them.

Maybe even if you kill a chicken, you will have some reservations in your heart, let alone hurting someone.

The bandits who came to Kaoshan Village before really wanted to kill us, so everyone had the courage to fight against them with the weapons they could use at home.

But now it’s different. This group of bandits is obviously in a weak position and seems to have no intention of hurting anyone. How could they hurt people for no reason?

But his words were still very powerful, and the bandits squatting on the ground were so scared that they begged for mercy.

"Heroes, spare their lives, heroes, spare their lives!"

"This is the first time we have done this. The previous villages suffered, but it was not us who did it!"

"I was wrong, sirs, please let us go"

"Yes, uncles, we really can't afford to eat at home, so we want to go out and make a living. This is the first time!"

"We won't dare to do it again. Please give me this one chance!"

"Wuwu... I also have parents and children to take care of, so I beg you good men, please spare us this time!"

There were endless cries for mercy and no one knew what to do.

Xia Shengsheng, Xia Yi and Xia Er came back with a few people respectively.

These people were tied up and thrown among a group of bandits.

They were the ones who led the escape just now and also the ones who reacted the fastest.

"Boss, you were also caught?"

"Boss, please save us!"

The man who was called the boss looked at everyone viciously and kicked the people around him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You all know that I have been captured too. How can I save you? Can I still take you underground?"

This sentence made everyone laugh.

Xia Shengsheng also found it very interesting. What he said was correct. He was not Tuxingsun. Could it be that he could only escape underground with this group of younger brothers?

The village chief squeezed out of the crowd, looked at the people who were arrested, and ran over to ask Xia Shengsheng for his opinion.

"Xiao Xia! What do you think we should do with these people?"

Xia Shengsheng didn't even have to think hard and gave the answer directly.

"Report to the authorities and have them escort them. If we send them there, one or two of them will inevitably run away along the way.

Just send someone to report that we have captured the bandits, tell them the exact number of bandits, and ask them to send someone over. I think there will be more trouble tonight!"

Village chief Ma nodded and called two quick men to go to the government office to report the news. There was no need for hundreds of people to stay here to guard the place.

He asked his two sons to pick out dozens of people to guard the captured bandits.

After giving these instructions, Village Chief Ma pulled Xia Shengsheng aside.

"Xiao Xia, where do you think these bandits came from? Are they the same group that robbed other villages before?"

The only thing Xia Shengsheng could be sure of was that these bandits were definitely not the same group as the ones who had previously robbed other villages, otherwise they would not be so unskilled in their work.

Not to mention that they had no weapons at all, just hearing the large number of villagers running out to fight would have made them all run away.

Some of them ran away, some did not run away, and some were still thinking about continuing to steal things.

From this point, it can be seen that they are probably more people who gather together and rob without any rules or routines.

The only smart thing was that he knew to steal at night.

So where are they from? How could Xia Shengsheng know?

Looking at the man called Boss, when he was squatting on the ground, his eyes were still darting around, without any rest.

So he said something to the village chief and asked Xia Yi to take the man out for questioning alone.

Just as Xia Yi was about to take action, Tao Siyuan took the lead.

"I'll do it, hehe! This time we'll have some fun!"

Tao Siyuan walked towards the man called Boss with a wicked smile on his face.

The man looked at Tao Siyuan's appearance and felt as if there were a thousand knives trying to bend his flesh. There was a slight chill around him, which was particularly creepy.

Seeing how scared he was, Xia Shengsheng wanted to laugh secretly, but fortunately, her patience was still strong, and she held back her smile.

Lean close to Tao Siyuan's ear and tell him how to ask and what to ask.

Seeing Tao Siyuan nodded, he stopped paying attention to them and went home to see if the children were scared. Anyway, there was no trouble here.
