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

After Liu Yingxiong finished speaking, Liu Yingcai continued, "Also, let me tell you something. Although our family can usually send two people out for patrol, we don't have any weapons. If we encounter bandits or refugees who want to rob us, can we only beat them with sticks? What about bandits with knives? Our sticks won't be able to beat them. I wonder if anyone has any good suggestions."

The villagers murmured to each other again, and then someone said, "My family brought a three-pronged spear with them when we fled the famine. I think it can be used as a weapon, to drive people away."

When Liu Xiaoxiao heard about the three forks, she thought, "This thing is great! Almost every household in the village has one, but I don't know how many people have brought them."

When the others heard what he said, they all nodded and said, "We brought some too."

"We brought some too. Who would be willing to throw away these iron farm tools?" The villagers said they all had them at home.

"If we meet those blind people who insist on robbing us, we will use our tridents to stab them and see who is stronger, them or our sharp tridents." The others also agreed, and they also brought their machetes and axes. No matter whether they are useful or not, women and children can use them to protect themselves.

Just when everyone was discussing it intensely, a voice suddenly said, "I don't have a trident, but I have a bow and arrow, is that okay?"

Of course, bows and arrows can be used for long-range attacks! This person said this, are you sure he's not in Versailles? Liu Xiaoxiao expressed that she really doubted whether he did it on purpose.

At this time, Liu Yingcai replied, "Of course it would be nice to have a bow and arrow. Although tridents can be used as weapons, almost every family only has one, and we have many men. If we encounter bandits, we will be seriously short of weapons. It would be great if there were people who could make weapons. We could make some simple weapons as we go along to defend ourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, another person came out and said, "Liu Zhigang, you can hunt, so you should be able to make some weapons! If there's anything I, Carpenter Liu, can do for you, please let me know."

"So this is a carpenter! From what he said just now, the one with the bow and arrow is a hunter! They really have all kinds of people in this team!" Liu Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

This was not the end. Another young man said, "I could help, but I don't have any iron now. It's a waste of my skills."

When the people around him heard him say this, they laughed and joked, "Xiao Qiang, didn't you just learn blacksmithing for a year? What have you learned? You're about to come and help. I think you should go back and take care of your father. Otherwise, no one will take care of your father when you come out."

It turned out that the young man's name was Liu Qiang. Last year, in order to allow him to learn a skill to support his family, his father spent a lot of apprenticeship fees to get the blacksmith shop in town to agree to accept him as an apprentice.

Just when things seemed to be getting better at home, his father suddenly fell and broke all his bones, and he had to lie in bed from then on. His eldest son, Liu Qiang, had to come back temporarily to take care of his father. Liu Xiaoxiao sighed: "What a filial child."

Of course, these are what Grandma Liu said to Liu Xiaoxiao.

The two of them stood behind the group of people, and whenever Liu Xiaoxiao didn't understand something, she would quietly ask her grandmother. This way she wouldn't disturb them and she could still hear what they were saying.

Liu Qiang didn't get annoyed when he heard other people teasing him. He just calmly said to Liu Yingcai, "Grandpa Liu, if you need anything, just tell me. My father is being taken care of by my brother and mother. He said that if there's anything the village needs help with, he must ask me to come."

Liu Yingcai was moved by his words. This young man is quite good! He values ​​friendship and loyalty.
