Xiaotumen Village is located in a small hill, in the southwest is the local people commonly known as Tumen Mountain, there is a river in the mountain called Tumen River, which belongs to a tributary of the Suifen River.

People outside the customs call the winter cat winter, people generally prepare a winter of food, chopping firewood before the heavy snow covers the mountain, and then in the cold winter of dozens of degrees below zero, the cat is at ease for a few months, until the spring flowers bloom and the river thaws and then go out to work.

In a snowstorm like today, the family is at home, scalding the pot of wine and making some sauerkraut and stewing white meat, and sitting cross-legged on the kang.

But the peaceful life was disrupted by a group of uninvited guests, and with the sound of the old soldier's horsewhip, the small Tumen village, which had only a dozen or so households, all opened their doors.

"Veteran's head...... You don't want to die, why are you crazy on such a cold day?"

"Shut up, let you Liu Baochang come out, there are wounded soldiers who need to be placed by him, and there are soldiers who will come later...... Let me tell you clearly, the volunteers who beat Lao Maozi on the east bank of the Ussuri River have come and want to rest in your village......"

With a bang, the whole village was boiling, and some time ago, the villagers on the other side of the river had already heard the news that an army from the south had come to rescue the remnants of the Celestial Empire under the banner of volunteers, and the old Maozi who had been killed in Sandaogou was rolling.

At first, people thought it was bragging, but in less than a month, they saw the real person!

The mentality of the villagers is very complicated, on the one hand, they are surprised, and for these good men who can defeat Lao Maozi and make them angry with the big guys, people really admire them from the bottom of their hearts.

But since ancient times, soldiers have been like bandits, if these soldiers are stationed in the village, who can raise them? One meal or two meals are okay, but if the cat is a winter, then it will be repaid?

The old soldier saw the hesitation in people's hearts and scolded angrily: "What do you want to do with your mother? Five miles is coming in a flash, don't you prepare now, wait for others to force you with guns......?

Upon hearing this, Liu Baochang slapped his head and said in horror: "Don't be stunned......! What's that, Wang family boy, let your daughter-in-law wear dirty clothes, smear some black ash on her face, don't be a fox and cause trouble......"

"Get moving, get moving! Hold firewood and make a fire......

No one dares to resist the soldiers, people can only expect this army to eat goodbye is too ugly, eat some food, don't be afraid to spoil the woman and rob the big guy's money and food.

Soon the smoke of the cooking in every household was thick, and the chief of the security department arranged for people to carry the wounded soldiers on the plough to the house to take care of them, but fortunately, most of them were frostbitten, and the outsiders had rich experience in dealing with this, and these wounded soldiers should not be in serious trouble.

Half an hour later, Ye Qiu and the others finally struggled to see the smoke of the cooking in Xiaotumen Village, a group of watchdog dogs barking at the entrance of the village, and Liu Baochang and the old soldier were waiting with their necks bent.

Seeing that an officer was coming, Liu Baochang's knees weakened, and he fell to his knees in the snow at that time, "The grass people are ...... It's the chief of Xiaotumen Village, this chief's family please, the wine has already been scalded, just slow down, the official must not blame ......"

Ye Qiu picked him up, "Don't be like this, we are causing you trouble, we don't kneel here, you just treat us as a passing merchant, and come over and spend money to rent a house for two days when you encounter a snowstorm......"

"Don't dare, don't bend our group of cheap bones, please ...... in the house" Liu Bao's long waist was about to crawl in the snow, and the concept of superiority and inferiority for thousands of years could not be changed by Ye Qiu's warm words or two.

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Then it's troublesome, I have a total of thirty brothers here, depending on the size of your village, there is no problem in arranging three people in a family...... In this way, two injured brothers live in one house, and three uninjured brothers live in one house!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qiu turned his head and shouted to his brothers, "Listen to my orders! Everyone gives a deposit of a silver coin before entering the door, and if the master's family does not accept it, they are definitely not allowed to enter the house......"

"Huh?" the village was in an uproar, and people couldn't believe that their ears seemed to be dreaming.

Liu Baochang knelt on the ground as soon as his knees weakened, and tears flowed down his face, and he quickly froze into ice slag: "This official, I beg you, our small mountain village really doesn't have anything valuable, so you can raise your noble hand......"

"Woooooooooo......oo I just ask the official not to hurt people's lives, and to leave rations for the big guy for the winter, and we will burn high incense for you...... I'm begging the official!"

The old security chief hugged Ye Qiu's legs and cried, which made all the soldiers present cry, they couldn't understand the thinking of these people at all, and they didn't know that China had never had such an army for thousands of years.

Everything Ye Qiu and they showed, in the eyes of the villagers who were controlled by traditional concepts, this was talking back, this was blackmail in disguise, and the smiling tiger was more terrible than the cold-faced tiger.

Ye Qiu is also young, he is too simple and direct in the implementation of discipline, he picked up the chief and roared angrily, "Why don't you understand, I said that I won't eat you for nothing, I just won't eat for nothing...... Brothers, let's dig a nest in the snow outside the village, and I won't believe that I spend money and sins......"

As soon as these words came out, the result backfired, and the old chief couldn't kneel, so the people of the whole village knelt down in fright: "The military master spares his life! How much silver does the military master want, we will make it up for you in the whole village, don't hurt people's lives......"

The man kowtowed and begged at the door, and the woman was so frightened that she hid in the room and touched the scissors for fear of being humiliated in a while. At that moment, it was not that no one wanted to resist, but the head of the old hairy man hanging under the horse's neck, and the sharp foreign spear that looked sharp, coupled with that fierce temperament, made these people retreat.

How could a strong army that could slaughter Lao Maozi be able to resist by these villagers.

Just when Ye Qiu was completely blind, another Qing soldier ran from the wind and snow, it was an old soldier left behind at the outpost, he glanced at the chaos in front of him, and slapped his thigh angrily.

"Damn, a bunch of things that don't understand people, don't you understand people's words? The military master gave you money and subordinates, just now the sentry card was to boil a pot of boiling water, and the military master of the other country rewarded a silver ocean!"

After speaking, the old soldier took out the dragon-patterned silver coin with body temperature and shouted, "Look at it! People drink hot water and steal money, and they still care about your sauerkraut and corn ballast? Don't lose the face of the grandfathers, stand up and ......."

Finally, a local person came forward to say the word, and the people looked at the silver coin in disbelief, and muttered, "What is this? There are such good things in the world? There are really soldiers who do not give in to the common people?"

Why did the head of this live veteran get more and more panicked the more he listened, "Okay, why are you still stunned, hurry up and open the door to welcome guests!"
