Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Qinjia Village.

The moonlight was as dark as ink and the village was silent.

Near the village entrance, everyone was hiding quietly. The patrol team and the men in the village hid in the dark with various weapons, while the other old people and children hid in the cellar with their own food.

The whole village was silent and everyone moved very quietly.

Yun Zhenzhen followed Ning Shan to the hiding place, holding an axe in her hand.

She was very strong and had set an ambush first, so one or two ordinary men were no match for her.

In addition, there are two or three hundred young and middle-aged men guarding Qinjia Village, so dealing with dozens of hungry refugees is not a problem at all.

Two or three hundred people were divided into ten groups, guarding several exits of the back mountain.

There are many trees on the mountain, but because it is winter, many branches have lost their leaves, which appear heavy and dim under the moonlight.

After a while, some sporadic noises came from the front. They must be coming.

Ning Shan squatted at the front and announced everyone's position. People who practice martial arts have sharper vision and hearing.

"There are a few people ahead, crawling on the ground, exploring the way. If you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all. The others are a hundred meters away, slowly moving forward. Now we have the first echelon right in front of us. They are five men with only some machetes and axe in their hands."

A villager next to Ningshan retreated with the information, and then led a group of people to block the front.

They all carried their own long sickles and sharpened axe in their hands, and homemade wooden spikes in front of them, which could stab the enemy from two or three meters away.

They have a huge advantage in terms of both initiative and numbers.

"Wait!" Ning Shan, who was in front, suddenly spoke up, lowering his voice. "There are several women and children behind those people clearing the way... Damn it, these beasts are actually using the elderly, weak, women, and children as human shields."

When Yun Zhenzhen behind him heard this, her eyes turned cold. She thought they were starving refugees, but she didn't expect them to be a group of unscrupulous beasts.

She took a step forward and saw that the scouts in front were getting closer and closer. The people in front were full of greed, and about fifty meters behind the woman, there was a huge group of people following.

Ning Shan ordered the team that was originally facing the enemy to retreat to both sides, and when the men in front passed by, he pounced on them and took care of them in no time. The remaining women began to scream in panic.

"Brothers, we've been discovered by them, let's charge!"

In the forest, a man shouted loudly, and dozens of refugees behind him rushed forward desperately.

At this time, the patrol team had quickly pulled the old, young, women and children aside, and the people behind them hurriedly moved the wooden spikes forward.

The first two or three people who rushed over were directly stabbed by the wooden spikes due to inertia.

The moon tonight was exceptionally round, illuminating the earth brightly. It shone dimly on the ground through the branches in the forest, allowing everyone to just see the horrifying scene before their eyes.

Three people were stabbed face to face, pierced from front to back, blood was all over the ground, and several people were wailing in pain with their remaining strength, making the scene even more terrifying.

The refugees who rushed up from behind were also frightened and stopped in their tracks.

Although they had robbed houses during their escape from famine, they had only done so by threatening to steal. After arriving in Yunding County, they were provided with two meals a day, so at least they would not starve to death. There was no need for them to lose their lives for a little food.

Seeing a group of people hesitantly standing there, the three leading men immediately stood up and said, "Brothers, we have come here now. They are just some unarmed villagers who have never seen the world. If we charge a few steps forward, we can get all the food in their village, as well as gold and silver treasures sent by the emperor himself, which can ensure that we have food and clothing for the rest of our lives. It can be said that we can reach heaven in one step. Do we dare to give it a try?"

"That's right, big brother is right. Do you want to live like beggars for the rest of your life? As long as you take a brave step forward today, you will live a life of wealth and glory in the future."

"Brother, I want to follow you. I don't want to be a beggar anymore. I want to rise to prominence with you, and never have to worry about food and clothing..."

Yun Zhenzhen was speechless when she saw the three people in front of her singing the same tune. He was so talkative, he must be the leader of a pyramid scheme.

"Brothers, let's..."

Before the man could finish his words, Ning Shan kicked him three meters away. The rest of the patrol team grabbed their axes and swarmed over.

I have to say that the training during this period was very useful. Although we can't fight one against three yet, every one of us can completely crush the refugees on the opposite side in a one-on-one fight.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Ning Shan attacked again and kicked the three leading men to the ground. He first cut off their hands and feet, and then handed them over to the remaining villagers to be tied up.

After the three main people were arrested, the remaining dozens of people lost their fighting power. They were instigated to rob food, and some people didn't even understand what was happening.

Seeing a group of people surrounding them aggressively with weapons in their hands, the rabble immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Yun Zhenzhen still didn't dare to be careless. There were so many outsiders here today, and who knew if they had any flu virus. Many of them had direct contact with the virus, so they might be infected. She had to go back quickly and take some medicine to prevent it.

The patrol team tied up all the refugees and took them down the mountain one by one, and then asked the aunts in the village to come out and help make medicine.

Seeing that the crisis outside was over, the aunts hiding in the cellar rushed out to see what was happening. They wanted to see what was targeting Qin Jiachun. Many aunts also went to the two big pots to help light the fire.

In an instant, the quiet Qinjia Village became lively. What's more, two bonfires were lit nearby to make it easier for people behind to watch.

Although the refugees' night attack was massive, fortunately there were almost no casualties in Qinjia Village. The most serious one was an accidental scrape while fighting with others in the mountains at night, but it was fine after applying some herbal medicine.

The children in the village gathered around the campfire, looking at the tied people in front of them with great interest, and everyone was full of contempt for them in their hearts.

The village chief also summoned the village elders and clan elders, and sat in Yun Zhenzhen's yard to discuss how to deal with these refugees.

"It's getting late now. Even if we send them to the city, they won't be able to get in. Besides, the county is already short of food, and sending them back would only cause more trouble for the county magistrate." Yun Zhenzhen was the first to speak up, sharing her thoughts: "I counted them when I came back just now. Besides the fifteen elderly, weak, women, and children they kidnapped, there are still eighty young and strong men left, for a total of ninety-five people."

"With so many people, food and accommodation are a problem. A lot of food is consumed in a day." The village chief frowned.

Yun Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows: "They are all ready-made laborers..."
