I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

After Grandpa Liu gathered Zhufu and Liu Yingxiong together, he briefly explained what he wanted to say this time, and explained that their purpose this time was to make good arrangements and take precautions in advance.

Zhufu and Liu Yingxiong initially didn't believe it, but Liu Yingcai then said, "I actually had a similar dream before fleeing the famine, but I didn't believe it then. That's why I kept it to myself." But this time was different. The lives of so many of them were at stake. Even if it was fake, he wouldn't gamble.

After listening to the whole thing, Zhufu was the first to speak: "Your guess is correct. It would be unusual if we didn't encounter bandits while fleeing famine. The most important thing is whether we have preventive preparations."

Seeing them all nod in agreement, he continued, "If we really encounter this enemy, we only have three people in our family who can take action. Although they are all carrying swords, but from what you just said, so many people on the other side are also carrying swords. I'm afraid our efforts will be in vain."

After hearing the blessings, Liu Yingcai also said: "Our three sons and two grandsons will be able to come out to help, but our family has no weapons. Moreover, from the scene I dreamed of, it seemed that the other side had a large team of about 300 people, and they were all armed." Liu Yingcai also replied with a worried look on his face.

At this time, Liu Yingxiong finally couldn't help but speak, "Have you forgotten my identity? I am the village chief. Although not all the villagers of Huaihua Village are here this time, most of them are here, okay? Fighting against bandits is impossible to rely on just your two families! Don't worry, we are following you, but we are not cowards. We can help you if anything happens."

Liu Yingcai was waiting for him to say this. Now that he had taken the initiative to say it, he didn't hesitate and said, "Then I'll trouble you, big brother. So, go gather the heads of each family now, and we can discuss the specific matters together later."

Liu Yingxiong felt that he was right, nodded, and went back to tell his son to call someone. While waiting for people, he always felt that his second brother's behavior was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, so he didn't think about it.

Little did he know that Liu Yingcai's words were all intentional. Soon, everyone arrived. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Yingxiong got straight to the point.

"I called everyone here today because I have something important to discuss. I'm sure you all know that we have a long journey ahead of us, and it won't be peaceful along the way. We may encounter bandits. So, I called everyone here today to discuss how to deal with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd began to whisper.

"Quiet!" Liu Yingxiong roared, "Let's not panic. We need to be prepared now, just in case. I just discussed this with Yingcai. There aren't many people from those two families combined who can fight, so we need everyone's help."

At this time, a middle-aged man stood up and said, "Village Chief, we all listen to you. Whatever you say, we will do."

Others echoed.

Liu Yingxiong was very pleased to see this. He said, "See! This is how united our village is."

Then he cleared his throat and continued, "Alright! Since everyone trusts me so much, let me tell you what I'm thinking. First, we can organize some people to patrol. Even when we're walking on the road, we can't be as idle as before. We should first organize the young and strong people who don't have carts. Let them march in the outermost circle of the team, weapons in hand. This way, we can protect the elderly, the weak, women, and children in the middle."
