"Uncle, please give us something to eat. We are refugees from the next town and have been hungry for several days!"

The leading man at the foot of the wall shouted, his voice full of energy, not at all like someone who was starving...

The patriarch knocked the stick in his hand and said loudly:

"Our village is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. Why don't you go to other villages?"

The leading man didn't believe it. They had already inquired and found out that when the refugees came, only this village provided food.

Moreover, a new wall has been built at the entrance of the village. How can they have the energy to build this when they can’t even get enough food to eat?

"Uncle, please stop joking. I heard your village had a good harvest this year, and you guys will definitely be given a piece of meat to eat. Please don't be so stingy!"

Seeing his bad tone, the patriarch patiently explained:

"Kid, those are just rumors. Don't you see, the clothes we wear are no different from yours? We all work in the dirt, how can our clothes be any better?"

The villagers were all wearing the most tattered clothes because they were working. From a distance, they looked no different from the refugees.

The people on the wall were still arguing, and Huanxi also went to the top of the wall to take a peek. Although these people dressed as refugees were covered up, many of them seemed to have scars on their faces.

This is not good...

They must be bandits. Looking at the villagers, no one knows martial arts except for hoes and shovels. If a real fight breaks out, it will be obvious who will win and who will lose.

We have to go get some help.

She sneaked up to the patriarch and said:

"Grandpa, the clan leader, these people are here with bad intentions. You should hold them off until dark. It's best not to start a fight. I have a horse at home. I'll go to town and notify the constable."

The clan leader frowned: "Girl, are you going alone? Isn't it too dangerous?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll take the small road. Shufeng is very obedient. The situation is urgent, so I'll go back first."

"Girl, be careful on your way..." These men are not as good as a girl.

She happily went down the wall. She believed in the old man's ability. If he didn't have this little ability, how could he be respected in the village?

The village chief told her to go home quickly, and held her back, saying:

"Girl, your family is full of women, stay home and don't come out, do you hear me?"

Huanxi felt warm in her heart, but she still told him that she was going to the town and asked him not to let the news leak out.

The village chief knew that this girl had her own ideas and wanted to stop her but couldn't find a better way, so he could only pin his hopes on her.

Huanxi returned home, pulled Zidieyi over and said:

"I'm going to the town. You're the only one in this family who knows martial arts. Please protect the family. Please."

"I'll go to town. I have Qinggong skills, so I need to be quick."

"No, I need to go to the town to find Hongying first. She knows the captain, so it will be faster this way."

Zi Dieyi had no choice but to watch her ride on Shufeng and follow the path behind the mountain until she disappeared into the woods.

"You're so stubborn! They're just a few bandits, a mob. If you beg me, I'll take care of it. If you want to run... go ahead."

But Huanxi asked him to guard the house, so let him do it. After all, guarding Xu Jinchu alone is also guarding, guarding the whole family is also guarding...

Huanxi entered the jungle and started calling Taige and Xiaohua.

Unexpectedly, a white wolf appeared, almost startling Shufeng to jump up.

The joy finally calmed down after a round of soothing.

"noob!"

"Huanhuan, Huanhuan, where are you going?" Xiaobai's voice is no longer as childish as that of a child. Now it is mature and steady like the voice of an adult man.

"Xiaobai, I'm going to town. Where are Brother Tai and Xiaohua?"

"They were sleeping in the cave, and I came out to play alone."

"Xiaobai, I have a favor to ask of you. Ask Brother Tai and Xiaohua to go to town."

"Can't I go with you? I have a lot of brothers, and they don't dare to come out."

Happy and surprised, has this little white started to form his own gang?

But it’s okay. Wolves are social animals by nature, and Xiaobai will grow up.

"You can come with me, but you can only wait for me outside the town, okay?"

Xiaobai immediately became excited when he heard this:

"Okay, okay, I know, I know. Brother Tai told me that I can't be discovered by other humans, and I can't be seen!"

Huanxi also wanted to give it some experience, so she said:

"Without further ado, let's go!"

It took more than two hours to ride to the town. The cold wind blew on her face like a knife, but she didn't dare to stop for a moment. Shufeng seemed to understand her urgency and galloped away.

The road was empty, with only the clatter of horse hooves.

Xiaobai was running in the woods and did not show up.

When we arrived at the town, the outskirts were full of tents set up by refugees, and there were some big pots with unknown things boiling in them.

The refugees were huddled together for warmth, and were all surprised to see the rush of joy coming their way.

Huanxi didn't have time to pay attention to their looks. When he arrived at the city gate, he dismounted and asked the gatekeepers.

"Sir, a group of robbers have come to our village. Please let me in and seek help from the government."

Huanxi was out of breath. Who said riding a horse is not tiring? Riding a horse is so tiring.

Her bottom was shaking like a rock and her hands were freezing to ice.

"Are you Zhao Huanxi?" the soldier said in surprise.

Huanxi looked up at the soldier guarding the city.

"Brother Zhang! Why are you here? It's me, it's me!"

That soldier was a minor clerk guarding the county government office.

"Don't mention it. The county constables have all been transferred. A gang of criminals have been on the run in the surrounding villages these days, robbing and committing all kinds of evil. The bailiffs have all been sent out to track them down."

Otherwise, why would they be sent out of the city?

"Ah, could it be the same group that came to our village? There's a group of people dressed like refugees coming to our village. I saw them from a distance, and they don't look like refugees. Several of them have scars on their faces!"

"Is it true? Don't say anything. If it's true, I'll take you to see the county magistrate."

"Really? Otherwise, how could a woman like me dare to come here alone? This is really an emergency."

She was right, a fight was about to break out in the village.

"You damn old man! You're not going to accept my toast, are you? Brothers! Follow me, rob this village, and we can have a prosperous year this year!"

"Good! Big brother is awesome!"

"You bunch of robbers! I knew you were not good people!" The patriarch was so angry that he coughed.

He had just been trying to please this group of people, which had taken a lot of his time. Now these people were attacking him, and he didn't know whether Happy Girl had arrived in town.

That was all he could do in one hour.

Now there are several villagers hiding on the wall, and next to each of them is a pile of stones as big as bowls.

He was holding one in his arms, and all the men were drooling nervously.

Their village was far from the town, and by the time the constables arrived, they would probably have been captured by this group of people, so they had to rely on themselves.

There are parents, wife and children at home. You can't be timid or a coward at this time.

"Hahahaha, you old idiot, you don't think this thing can stop us, do you? Pour kerosene on me and burn it!"

When the younger brother threw the kerosene on it and then threw the fire lighter over, the expected burning did not happen at all.

This wall was built with this in mind. It was made of a mixture of stones, wood, and wet mud, and water was poured on it every day to form a firewall.

Now it was the leader's turn to be dumbfounded. He had never seen a wall that could not be burned.

"Damn it! Don't blame us for being ruthless! Brothers, charge! Break down the door below them!"
