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

Just as Xia Qingyue was thinking, there were more footsteps heard.

She noticed that Chen Yuzhen beside her was looking at the visitor curiously.

A group of men came, each of them was strong and had a long sword of similar style and high-quality material on their waist.

"I clearly saw them running over here just now."

The men stood behind the slope and talked.

"We were not far away at that time, they could not run fast, and there were a lot of weeds nearby, so we looked to see if they were hiding."

"Look for them separately!"

Chen Yuzhen retracted her head and held Xia Qingyue tightly with one hand.

Only by pressing lower and lower can it be safer.

The men spread out to search.

Fortunately, no one came to the slope for the time being. Xia Qingyue's eyes rolled around and she felt a crack in her palm, as if a stone was pressing on it.

She grabbed the stone, leaned forward slightly, and threw the stone in a certain direction under Chen Yuzhen's astonished eyes.

Then she quickly lay back down.

That’s right, she threw it towards Liuzi Zhu Sanbao and the others.

The situation is urgent. If nothing is done, those men will find them sooner or later.

The noise made by the stones immediately attracted the attention of the group of men.

"over there!"

They ran over.

When the six guys in the bushes realized they were discovered, they tried to escape, but because the two sides were close to each other, they were quickly caught up.

The group of men surrounded Liuzi and his gang and drew their swords.

As the atmosphere became tense, Zhu Manfu, who was hiding behind Zhu Sanbao, was sweating and panicking. He shouted at the men, "What are you doing? Do you know who we are?"

"Shut up!" Liuzi yelled at Zhu Manfu, looking at the men with fear in his eyes.

Zhu Sanbao still couldn't understand why Liuzi was so timid today. He stiffened his neck and shouted to the man closest to him:

"We six are modest and low-key, but I can't stand it anymore. I have only one thing to say: anyone who messes with our Tianlang Village will never have a good ending!"

Liu Ziya bit his lips, wishing he could tear Zhu Sanbao's mouth apart.

A man pointed at Liuzi and said, "They confessed. I ran into that man twice in the upper reaches of the river last time."

After hearing this, the man's companions all showed evil grins on their faces and stepped forward tacitly.

"Are you tired of living? Didn't you hear me say that we are from Tianlang Village?

Liuzi, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and do it!" Zhu Sanbao shouted loudly.

Liuzi's face looked extremely ugly. He gave a fierce look to his brothers and they attacked at the same time.

During the battle, Liuzi, who was being attacked from both sides, caught a glimpse of a figure beside him. Without thinking, he pulled the man forward and blocked the sword.

With a "whoosh" sound, the white knife went in, the red knife came out, and blood spurted.

The person who was caught to block the sword happened to be Zhu Manfu, who wanted to sneak aside to watch the fight.

The long sword pierced through Zhu Manfu's abdomen, and the blood spurted out mostly splashed onto Liuzi and Zhu Sanbao who were beside him.

Even though Liuzi pulled someone to block the sword, he was unable to withstand the men's powerful attack. Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also forced into a state of no retreat.

A long sword suddenly came from the side and Liuzi's head fell to the ground.

"Hahaha!" The man who killed Liuzi laughed out loud, his face distorted and hideous, as if he had done something happy and pleasing.

"Manfu!"

"Manfu, hurry up and get up, don't scare Dad!"

Zhu Sanbao picked up the blood-covered Zhu Manfu and burst into tears.

After crying for a few seconds, there was a sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh, and the crying stopped abruptly.

boom.

Zhu Sanbao's body fell to one side, his eyes wide open.

A man sneered and pulled out the long sword that pierced Zhu Sanbao's chest, "Stop making so much noise. The people from Tianlang Village are just so-so. They can be killed in two hits. It's really boring."

Xia Qingyue, who was peeking in the dark, was dumbfounded. She gently retracted her head and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

The group of men counted the number of people they had killed, but in their opinion, the number of people was too few. The battle ended before their hands had even warmed up their swords, and they felt unsatisfied.

After counting the number of people, they carried the bodies of Liuzi and others away, saying that they were going back to collect the reward.

After a long time, Xia Qingyue put down her hand and took a deep breath of air, but she smelled a pungent smell of blood.

Chen Yuzhen also sat down and took a breath for a while, then slowly recovered.

"Qingyue, let's go back to the cave first!"

The two men and the dog hurried back to the cave.

Chen Yuzhen locked the cave door and poured a glass of boiled water for Xia Qingyue who was sitting at the table.

After drinking some water to slow down, Xia Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, what's going on?

By the way, where's your uncle?"

Chen Yuzhen sat opposite him with a solemn expression, "Qingyue, there is a group of people who control the middle and lower sections of the river. The group of men just now are the ones who manage the area where we went to fetch water last time."

“That group of people supported a man named Guan Jianshan as their leader and stationed in the middle of the river.

A few days ago, news came from the cave that the village upstream of the river was willing to accept refugees. When people were hesitant, a group of people named Guan Jianshan showed up with prey and food. They threatened to tell the refugees that they would also accept refugees, and would provide food, shelter and drink according to their abilities, and those who were more capable would get more.

For a while, there was chaos in the cave by the river. A small number of people went to Tianlang Village, a large number of people went to Guanjian Mountain, and some people stayed in the cave to wait and see. "

Xia Qingyue listened thoughtfully.

"My guess is that there are too many people stationed by the river, and it is difficult for the bandits to kill all the refugees living in the cave, so they came up with the idea of ​​recruiting people under the pretext of attacking.

No one knew where Guan Jianshan's group came from, but they conquered the refugees living in the middle and lower reaches of the river in a short period of time. They were efficient and could hunt and catch a lot of fish in the woods every day. After the food was distributed, everyone could have a meal of meat a day.

After a few days, word of Guan Jianshan's garrison spread, and more and more refugees flocked there for shelter! "

When talking about this, Chen Yuzhen's eyes flashed with a strange light.

Xia Qingyue thought about it for a moment and then she understood.

Originally, Tianlang Village was the only powerful village on the mountain, but now Guan Jianshan, whose power is growing, has suddenly appeared. It is said that there cannot be two tigers on one mountain, and sooner or later these two families will fight for various reasons.

The more chaos there is, the better it will be for Chen Yuzhen and her husband to rescue their family.

"So, uncle went to Guan Jianshan's base?"

Chen Yuzhen nodded and said yes, "He went there two days ago and got in to find out the situation. If we fight with Tianlang Village in the future, our chances of rescuing our family will be greater!"

"This morning I went to the river to fetch water. On the way, I met Guan Jianshan's men. They were going to control the river. I hid to avoid them, but I didn't expect to meet you and Liuzi Zhu Sanbao and others later.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and the evildoer got his comeuppance! "

There was a gleam in her eyes, her chest heaving, and she spoke with great relief.

In a flash, Chen Yuzhen changed the subject, "It's just that it will be difficult to get water from the river in the future!

Also, I always feel that Guan Jianshan's group is not simple. They kill people without blinking an eye and laugh happily. It's as easy as killing chickens."
