The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Master Yan agreed and helped the two push the car towards the ice house, saying as they walked:

"Shu Ran, I discussed this with Village Chief Yang and the others these past two days.

There are quite a lot of bandits, and it would be difficult to deal with them relying solely on the men from each family.

If an attack really came, the women in each family would have to do some logistical work.

After breakfast, I guess Village Chief Yang will notify us again."

The master's wife nodded. Although she was not in good health, she was not very afraid.

If she really gets into a desperate situation, she will have to take the bandit away with the dagger in her hand.

Master Yan looked at Lu Qingqing again:

"Daya, I can't take care of you these days, so you stay with your mistress.

If you encounter danger, don't be stubborn, save yourself first, understand?"

Lu Qingqing nodded seriously. She would naturally protect this master's wife who treated her so kindly.

If the situation really becomes desperate, she will lead her team into the mountains.

When she was a child, she also watched guerrilla warfare.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!

She still remembers the sixteen-character principle of guerrilla warfare.

By flexibly applying this sixteen-character policy, I believe that even if there is a slight difference in numbers compared to the bandits, we will be able to catch up slowly.

In the morning, the village chief called all the men and women from each family.

He also talked about what men and women should do when bandits attack.

Generally speaking, the men are responsible for fighting, while the women of each family are responsible for logistical support.

As for the baby and the old man, they took the food and hid in the back mountain as soon as the bandits attacked.

When everyone has no worries, their fighting power will be stronger.

On this day, Lu Qingqing and her master's wife were on duty in the ice house.

But she couldn't feel at ease and always felt that something was going to happen.

I had to go to the parapet from time to time to take a look, and I felt a little relieved when I saw that nothing had happened.

But nothing happened until they finished work and returned to the yard.

On the third night, Lu Qingqing suddenly heard the sound of a gong.

She jumped up from the kang and patted Qin Lang beside her.

The two men quickly got up from the kang, put on their shoes, picked up the weapons at hand and went out.

These days, worried that bandits might attack at any time, neither of them dared to sleep in the space.

Even when sleeping, he wears clothes.

When the door was opened, the sound of the gong became more obvious, and I could vaguely hear someone shouting "The bandits are coming."

As Lu Qingqing went to open the gate, she shouted at the top of her lungs:

"The bandits are attacking! The bandits are attacking! Get up quickly!"

As soon as she opened the gate, people from all the houses came out.

Lu Tianming stood in the yard and shouted loudly:

"Men and women from all families, take up your weapons and follow me! Quick!

Mother, I leave the babies to you!"

The old village chief's wife quickly responded in a crisp voice.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the baby for you!"

At this time, Yang Yongyan had already run to the door while beating the gong.

"Uncle Lu, the bandits are attacking from the west of the village. Everyone, follow me!"

Lu Tianming and his men hurriedly caught up with Yang Yongyan, and asked as they ran:

"Yongyan, what's going on? Did any of the bandits crawl in?"

Yang Yongyan ran out of breath:

"When I arrived, the villagers were fighting hard. No bandits had crawled in yet!"

Lu Tianming knew that the situation could change at any time, so he didn't ask any more questions and just silently quickened his pace.

Qin Lang placed his long sword on the cart and pushed it to quickly catch up with the team.

Lu Qingqing was worried that bandits might sneak in, so she drew the knife from her waist and protected Qin Lang.

Master Yan and other men ran fast after all. Although the women including Master's Wife tried their best to catch up with them, they were still some distance behind.

Seeing that her master's wife was falling behind, Lu Qingqing grabbed her with one hand and followed Qin Lang closely.

Soon, everyone ran to the west end of the village.

There were many torches on the wall, and the men in the village were either throwing ice bricks down or pushing ladders out with all their might.

The scene was in chaos, with heavy crashes and screams heard from time to time.

When Lu Tianming and his group arrived, five or six bandits had already crawled in.

Eight or nine villagers from Linshan Village were beating up the bandits who jumped in.

Unfortunately, they had too little combat experience and their attacks often failed to hit the vital points.

In this season, everyone is wearing thick clothes, so it is difficult to kill someone with one hit from a stick.

Master Yan and several others hurried forward with knives in hand to help get rid of the bandits who had crawled in.

Seeing that bandits were still coming up the ladder, Lu Qingqing quickly raised her arrow and took aim.

When the man on the ladder outside just showed his head from outside the wall, he shot an arrow at him, and the man fell down with a scream.

By the way, it also fell on the person who was climbing up the ladder below.

There were three crashing sounds mixed with screams.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she called Qin Lang and asked him to help carry the box to the parapet.

The two villagers on the parapet seemed relieved when they saw the big knives in their hands.

"It's great that you guys are here. Let's go back to my side and keep watch!"

As he said that, he quickly ran towards the battlement next to him.

The two men didn't care about anything else and first dealt with several bandits who were trying to climb up near the parapet.

Lu Qingqing shouted to Qin Lang:

"You stay here first, I'll go down and move the boxes!"

Having said that, he quickly went down the parapet and ran back to the cart.

The master's wife was trying hard to move the box down, but unfortunately she couldn't do it by herself.

Seeing Lu Qingqing coming down, he hurriedly said:

"Da Ya, hurry up, let's move the boxes up!"

Lu Qingqing hurriedly moved the box out a little, and the two of them carried the box upstairs with difficulty.

At this time, Qin Lang had already dealt with several bandits and hurried over to help carry the two men up.

By the time all three boxes were moved up, Master Yan and his men had already dealt with the bandits.

Only then did Lu Qingqing have time to look to the side.

The people in their team have dispersed as agreed before.

Among them, four people guarded one battlement.

On the wall in the middle of the battlement, there are at least three or four people guarding a section.

If there is a ladder, just push it down.

Lu Qingqing was on the parapet where she and her master's wife were in the middle.

Qin Lang was on one side of the battlement, and Master Yan was guarding the other.

Lu Qingqing leaned against the wall and shot an arrow at the bandit on the nearest ladder.

When the man looked up, he was met by an arrow.

Before the arrow hit him, he was so scared that he fell down.

She didn't even change direction, but aimed directly at another person not far away. She shot an arrow through the chest, and the person fell backwards.

But there were too many bandits on the west side of the village, and they couldn't take care of the ladders once they pushed one down.

Soon, a few more bandits climbed up.

In this way, the villagers might be able to face several bandits alone.

As previously agreed, the villagers gathered in groups of three or four, back to back, to fight the bandits who were climbing up.

As more and more bandits climbed up, everyone became more and more exhausted.

Lu Qingqing shot arrows one by one, and she no longer cared about accuracy. As long as she hit the target, most of the people on the ladder would fall down.

If anyone persists in climbing up, he will be shot with another arrow.

Seeing the fierce attack of the bandits, the people on the nearby battlements also ran over to help.

In addition to defending the battlements, Qin Lang and Master Yan also had to guard against the bandits who had already climbed up the nearby wall.

The two men worked almost non-stop, and almost no bandits could climb up near their battlement.

But on the walls of several nearby battlements, many bandits were already running towards this place.
