Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

"I know you're worried about the village, but we can protect ourselves now." Xiao Li sat next to him and said seriously, "Those things that happened before are in the past. We must look forward!"

"Yes, let's look forward." Qin Cang nodded, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He knew that although the village had returned to peace on the surface, the future was still full of unknown challenges. He secretly pondered how to help everyone find true peace of mind.

"Do you think we will have more enemies coming?" There was a hint of uneasiness in Xiao Li's voice.

Qin Cang thought for a moment, then slowly said, "The enemy may not disappear, but we are now capable of protecting ourselves." He spoke with a firm tone, yet his mind was still pondering deeper issues. He hoped to teach everyone how to mentally prepare for future challenges.

After hearing this, Xiao Li's eyes flashed with respect, "Qin Cang, you are always so confident. I believe we can overcome any difficulties!"

Qin Cang smiled faintly, but a hint of bitterness lingered in his heart. Xiao Li's enthusiasm reminded him of his younger self, a young man full of hope for the future. Now, he carried not only his own dreams, but also the future of the entire village.

Just then, an old woman from the village came over with a gentle smile on her face and some freshly picked wild vegetables in her hands. "Xiao Li, Qin Cang, would you like to come to our house for something to eat?"

"Thank you, grandma. I'll be right there!" Xiao Li responded immediately, running towards the old lady. Qin Cang looked at them, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He was extremely relieved that after going through so much hardship, the villagers could still care about each other.

In the afternoon, the village returned to its bustling state. Everyone worked together, and the fields were filled with laughter and joy. Qin Cang walked through the fields, his eyes sweeping over each busy figure, and a surge of pride filled his heart. He knew that it was this strength of unity that allowed them to survive in the face of adversity.

"Qin Cang, come help me!" Lao Zhang, who was digging the soil in the field, shouted loudly. Qin Cang immediately ran over and worked with Lao Zhang.

"I heard that enemies have appeared again on the mountain outside the village." Lao Zhang said in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"We have enough strength to deal with them," Qin Cang said firmly, secretly calculating the village's defense strategy. He understood that the village's safety did not rely solely on weapons, but also on everyone's unity and confidence.

"I hope so," Old Zhang sighed, his eyes filled with deep worry. Although life was slowly returning to normal, the shadow of the battle still loomed large in everyone's minds.

At dusk, Qin Cang and the villagers gathered to discuss their next plan. They gathered around a bonfire, the flames dancing in the night sky, illuminating everyone's face. Qin Cang stood in the center, his gaze sweeping across everyone with a determined look.

"We have been through a lot, but we must not let the shadow of the past overshadow our future!" Qin Cang's voice was loud and clear. "We must continue to work hard to protect our homeland!"

"We will do our best!" The young warriors responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with determination. Qin Cang felt the power flowing through the air, and a warmth involuntarily surged in his heart.

"We need to develop a long-term defense plan to ensure that we can respond effectively when the enemy attacks again." Qin Cang continued, secretly thinking about the specific strategy in his mind.

"But the village's resources are limited. Can we really do it?" a woman stood up and asked worriedly.

"As long as we unite, nothing is impossible!" Qin Cang's voice became more determined, but he was thinking in his heart how to make everyone full of confidence.

Over the next few days, Qin Cang and the villagers were busy preparing various defensive measures. Young people from the village joined in the training, hoping to contribute to the protection of their homeland. Qin Cang got up early every day and personally led the training, aiming to ensure that everyone could remain calm and confident in the face of the enemy.

"Come on, everyone, practice with me and coordinate your movements!" Qin Cang gave loud instructions on the training ground, but in his heart he was thinking about how to improve everyone's psychological quality as well.

Xiao Li and the other young warriors gave their all during training. Although they were physically exhausted, their fighting spirit burned within them. "Qin Cang, I must become stronger for the village!" Xiao Li said to Qin Cang during a break in training, his eyes full of determination.

"Yes, each of you can become the protector of the village!" Qin Cang encouraged, secretly feeling relieved. Seeing the growth of the young people, it was as if he saw his own shadow in the past, and a surge of hope surged in his heart.

After a few weeks, the village's defenses were gradually improved, and everyone was making progress in training. Although the villagers were still a little worried, their confidence was growing with Qin Cang's efforts.

One fine morning, the village sentry suddenly delivered an urgent message: "The enemy is attacking! A large number of enemy troops are heading towards our village!"

"Everyone, get ready and act according to the plan!" Qin Cang immediately commanded, his heart tense, knowing that this battle would be another test for them. He hoped that this time they could use their unity and faith to fight the enemy.

As the enemy gradually approached, the atmosphere in the village suddenly became tense. Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping to overcome this challenge. Qin Cang was also secretly thinking in his heart. He knew that this battle was not only about life and death, but also about the faith in everyone's heart.

"We can do it!" Xiao Li encouraged everyone with a determined glint in his eyes.

"Yes, we must not give up!" Qin Cang responded, and in his heart he was also trying to encourage himself. The battle was about to come, and although he was nervous, he knew that he could not retreat.

The battle horn sounded, gunshots echoed over the village, and the artillery fire instantly ignited a tense atmosphere. Qin Cang and the villagers fought hard, united together, and faced the enemy with a tenacious spirit.

At the height of the battle, Qin Cang felt a violent tremor, and the world before him seemed to lose its color in an instant. He was knocked to the ground by a shell, and despair surged in his heart. But at this moment, he heard the shouts of his comrades around him, as if encouraging him to continue.

"Qin Cang, stand up quickly! We need you!" Xiao Li's voice sounded in his ears with great determination.

"I can't fall down!" Qin Cang struggled to stand up with all his might, a strong sense of responsibility welling up in his heart. He knew that only by persevering could he let everyone see the dawn of hope.
