Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"Mom, I want to go too!"

"And me, I'll go too. Our Kung Fu is much better than Uncle Wang and Uncle Li's. We can definitely help!"

Ye Chao and Er Cheng's plan to see Xia Shengsheng did not include them, so they could only recommend themselves to Xia Shengsheng.

What they both said was indeed true. Although they were not very old, they both had excellent talent in martial arts.

Ye Chao has always had a foundation in martial arts, and now he is on the verge of catching up with Tao Siyuan.

Ercheng is not far behind. After more than a year of martial arts training, his progress has been extremely rapid.

At the very least, the villagers who had just learned martial arts for a few months would definitely not be able to beat him.

Xia Shengsheng was not unaware of their abilities.

In her eyes, the two of them are children, and since they are children, they should definitely be in the back, the safest place.

How can we charge to the front?

What if there is a danger? What should we do?

So I firmly disagreed with the two of them going with him.

"I know you are good at fighting, but now is not the time to show off. Stay home and look after your sisters. Besides, there are so many people at home who don't know martial arts. You can play a greater role if you stay and help!"

Ye Chao and Er Cheng were very dissatisfied. Xia Shengsheng used the same excuse every time to trap them at home. They had never participated in a battle in so many times, and they had no chance to practice their skills.

But seeing Xia Shengsheng's affirmative tone, they did not dare to refute and could only lower their heads and remain silent in protest.

Xia Shengsheng didn't care whether the two of them protested or not, as he had already arranged everything outside.

The village also needs to be properly arranged, otherwise they all leave the village and are attacked by the bandits.

Therefore, Xia Shengsheng explained the situation to Village Chief Ma and asked him to mobilize all the villagers, including those in the patrol team, to surround the village to protect everyone's safety after everyone left.

Don't worry about scheduling or not.

In addition, two people must be stationed in each lookout tower around the village to carefully observe the situation outside.

If anything unexpected happened, quickly ring the gong to notify the villagers to prepare for battle.

The task of leading the village was handed over to Tao Siyuan and Xia Wu who stayed at home.

Ye Chao and Er Cheng responded quickly and helped out in the village.

After such a long period of training, everyone is no longer the ordinary people who were disorganized and only knew how to fight and kill.

Although it was Xia Yi and his friends who trained everyone.

But Xia Shengsheng would occasionally intervene, treating everyone as if he were a training troop!

After this matter was explained, hundreds of young and middle-aged men, holding weapons in their hands, surrounded the village, like a company, with a spirit of never backing down in the face of danger.

Although he didn't know whether the village would be attacked, Xia Shengsheng felt relieved when he saw that everyone was taking it seriously.

When the time came, the gate of the village next to the mountain slowly opened, and the Zheng brothers, Ma Da, Li Er and others pushed carts and headed towards the mountain.

Before leaving, Xia Shengsheng specifically told Yiyi and the others that if there was any commotion in the village, all those in the family who did not know martial arts should retreat to the secret passage immediately.

And it would be best for everyone to gather together so that they can take care of each other if anything happens.

Chen's parents were also taken to Xia Shengsheng's yard.

Otherwise, if something happens, you won’t be able to take care of it because you are far away.

He also asked the two little guys, Ye Chao and Er Cheng, to look after the family.

Xia Shengsheng then took the others and sneaked out through the small door of the village.

This small door was built some time ago. It is only half a person's height. It is not conspicuous now. The outside is covered with weeds and the door inside is locked, making it particularly secretive.

This gate was built so that if anything happened, the villagers would have a way to escape.

Unexpectedly, it would come in handy now.

Xia Shengsheng, Xia Yixia and two or three others walked in the front, and the others followed closely behind.

Following the Zheng brothers and others from a distance.

While walking, I was also observing the sounds around me.

Not long after they went up the mountain, Xia Shengsheng discovered that someone was indeed watching the Zheng brothers and their companions as they went up the mountain.

But fortunately, they did not find any trace of Xia Shengsheng and his group.

Xia Shengsheng winked at Xia Yi, and Xia Yi noticed the movements of that group of people.

He nodded to Xia Shengsheng, stepped back carefully, and warned the people behind him.

It took an hour to reach the agreed location.

The Zheng brothers and Ma Da and others were holding torches in their hands, but it was pitch black outside and it was difficult to tell the direction in the forest. They changed places several times before finally finding the right place.

I parked the car and listened to the silence all around me. The only sound I could hear was the rustling of leaves. I suddenly felt uneasy and a little scared.

But no matter how scared I am, I can only suppress the fear in my heart and stay calm.

After a while, the call of the cuckoo was heard not far away.

As the sound faded, there seemed to be movement in the grass.

I don't know whether it was the sound of a person or an animal walking through the grass.

Several people felt like their hearts were in their throats.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the Zheng brothers and Ma Da's men who had been following them. After they arrived at the place, they did not show up immediately, but changed direction and walked into the mountains.

It seemed like he was going to notify someone.

After a while, I heard the cuckoo's call again, and I knew that the person I was supposed to meet had arrived.

He made a gesture to Xia Yi and asked him to look at the rest of the people.

She took Xia Er and Xia San with her and carefully walked around from a distance, preparing to change direction to see the specific situation.

After going around, several people separated and found a place where they could check conveniently.

Xia Shengsheng picked a sturdy tree, controlled his voice, and climbed up quietly.

From this position, it can be clearly seen that there are a dozen bandits not far away. After hearing the cuckoo's call, they must have confirmed that it was safe, so they walked towards the direction of the Zheng brothers.

The group of people imitating the cuckoo's call were guarding behind, about seven or eight of them.

After they had walked past, they lit the torches, and one of the leaders spoke a few words to Martha.

I couldn't hear what he said specifically.

All we could see was that after the man said a few words, the men behind him suddenly drew their knives.

Xia Shengsheng suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately gave a signal, then jumped down from the tree and ran towards the people guarding behind him.

Because the others had not seen the seven or eight people guarding behind, after receiving the signal, they immediately ran towards the Zheng brothers and prepared to fight.

When the bandits walked in with a dozen people, they simply confirmed whether they were the people who came to the mountain village to deliver food and silver.

After getting a positive answer, the Zheng brothers and Ma Da and others will be asked to put down their things and leave the mountain.

Ma Da just asked where Ma Kui and Zheng Guoqu were.

The dozen or so bandits immediately drew their knives.

Prepare to take them down as well.

Unexpectedly, these people who came to deliver the food were quite skilled. Without wanting to hurt anyone's life, they exchanged a few moves with several people.

But they were suddenly surrounded by a group of more than 20 people with knives, which made them terrified.

The leader saw that the situation was not good and tried to find an opportunity to break out and escape.
