An orphan girl from a farming family: Everyday farming in the mountains during natural disasters

After Qian Wentao finished speaking, he didn't even look at Qian Yurou, and left angrily with his sleeves turned away.

The room returned to silence. Qian Yurou burst into tears and shook her head helplessly, "No, it's not like that!"

"Miss!" Xiaomei ran into the room anxiously.

When she came back, she met Qian Wentao. She had a bad feeling in her heart. Every time he came, he forced the young lady to do those things, and the young lady would be sad and cry.

Xiaomei hugged Qian Yurou tightly, and both the master and servant burst into tears.

Qian Yurou cried until her eyes were dry and red. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and also gently wiped away the tears on Xiaomei's face. Her hoarse voice was infused with strength.

"Xiaomei, let's not cry. Everything will be fine."

Xiaomei turned around and looked outside the door a few times. Seeing that there was no one there, she closed the door.

"Miss, it's almost time, just be patient for a while."

"Yes, they should have gone. I just hope everything goes well." Qian Yurou turned her head and looked up at the sky again, a hopeful light flashing in her moist eyes.

More than a month ago, she stayed overnight in Guan Jianshan's room. In the middle of the night, there was a hurried knock on the door. Li Danian whispered something to Guan Jianshan, and their faces looked extremely ugly.

She pretended to be asleep and pretended not to know. After the two men left, she quietly followed them to the door of the meeting room and eavesdropped.

I actually heard the reinforcements that my father had mentioned to me.

After Guan Jianshan and others finished the discussion, they ordered people to destroy the letter. If this matter were to leak out, the people would be in chaos, which would be extremely disadvantageous to them.

The two letters were saved safely by her and Xiaomei through their joint efforts of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

After receiving the letter, Qian Yurou no longer thought about committing suicide and rekindled her hope. The first thing she thought of was to tell Qian Wentao, but after calming down and thinking about it, she decisively gave up this idea.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Li Weikang and Chen Dawei appeared.

-

Ten days later.

In the mountains, a dusty team was walking in the woods. Han Zhibai and Li Benfu were leading the way. They walked to the top of the mountain and looked at the huge mountain on the opposite side that looked like a bull's head.

Han Zhibai said, "Niutou Mountain is across the way. We can reach it in two more days. We may encounter bandits on the way, so we must be careful."

Li Benfu nodded, turned around and told everyone to rest where they were and set off again in two quarters of an hour.

Two days later, at the foot of Niutou Mountain.

Han Zhibai and his team discovered fresh human footprints on the road ahead, and they estimated that there were quite a lot of them. They followed the footprints and finally saw a group of people under a relatively hidden slope halfway up the mountain.

There were about forty people in the group, all dressed in ordinary clothes. They sat together and talked in low voices with serious expressions, as if they were discussing important matters.

Han Zhibai and Li Benfu made a few gestures to the people behind them.

After more than ten days of getting along, people who had a certain tacit understanding understood each other, and they consciously walked to the back quietly and found a place to hide.

Han Zhibai and Li Benfu stayed behind, quietly moved closer, and eavesdropped on the group's conversation.

a long time.

Han Zhibai and Li Benfu returned and found their companions.

Li Benfu: "They are the bandits. Zhibai and I just overheard some of their conversation. They are planning to attack the reinforcements, which means they know the location of the reinforcements."

Li Weikang was overjoyed, "Then they should send someone to keep an eye on the reinforcements, and we can follow the clues to find them!"

The group found a suitable hiding place nearby and watched the bandits' every move.

As night fell, Han Zhibai and his group hid in the dark and waited. When it was almost midnight, the bandits finally took action.

The team was large, and for fear of alerting the enemy if they were not careful, Han Zhibai and his team selected ten people early to follow the bandits, while the rest waited on the spot.

While following the bandits, Han Zhibai took a sharp stone and drew marks on the trees along the way.

After walking for about an hour, the bandits came to a river and walked upstream. As they walked, their pace slowed down.

Han Zhibai and the others understood that the other party had arrived at their destination.

Sure enough, under the hazy moonlight, the garrison on the open land not far away by the river was revealed. It was quite large, with more than 20 sheds built. There were several small fires burning for lighting, and soldiers in armor and holding silver spears could be seen patrolling.

Several bandits hid in the dark and spied on the camp, and did not leave until dawn.

Han Zhibai and his men followed the bandits back.

The returning bandits reported to their leader the situation of the reinforcements' station.

Upon hearing this, the leader announced on the spot: "Today at twilight hour, proceed as planned!"

The bandits cheered and raised their arms, as if they had won a victory and were celebrating in advance.

After hearing what they needed to hear, Han Zhibai patted Li Benfu's hand, and the two of them withdrew, found their companions, and called them to go to the reinforcements' station.

After they walked away, Han Zhibai said in a deep voice:

"They wanted to pretend to be people holding official seals and use the cover of night to lead the reinforcements to a dangerous place called Yixiantian, where two mountains are connected and there is a narrow passage in the middle.

At that time, the reinforcements were below, and they ambushed from above and threw large rocks. The reinforcements could not squeeze out in the crowded aisle and could only be crushed to death. "

"We'll take the letter and find reinforcements, and tell them the bandits' plan!" Li Weisheng had become much darker and thinner, with more distinct and tougher features. "Then we'll kill the bandits in batches, and we won't leave any alive. Otherwise, when he runs back to report to Guan Jianshan, he'll slip away again."

Han Zhibai and Li Benfu thought so too.

In one of the sheds where the reinforcements were stationed, Lord Peng, who was in charge of the reinforcements, was holding two envelopes. After reading the letters, he looked up at Han Zhibai and Li Benfu, who were standing two meters away and being restrained by soldiers.

Lord Peng's sharp gaze wandered between the two of them, with a murderous aura hanging between his brows.

Han Zhibai understood that this was the unique momentum of veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

He was not afraid of the other party's inquiring eyes. He calmly said, "Seeing is believing, Lord Peng. I can lead a few soldiers to the thin line of sky to check it out. My companions will stay here."

These words and reactions caused Lord Peng's eyes to change slightly when he looked at Han Zhibai. He raised his hand and called his confidant: "As he said, follow him."

In this way, Han Zhibai led five soldiers to Yitiantian, where they saw the bandits who were constantly carrying large stones.
