On the night of early winter, Xiao Yao and others, who were rainy and their clothes were already wet, were besieged by the villagers on the threshing floor in the heart of the polder, surrounded by water, and it was difficult to escape. The villagers, who were blocked at the only entrance and exit of the threshing floor, did not dare to rush in.

Although they have the advantage in numbers, they have seedlings, shovels, wooden lifts, and flails in their hands. They are all accustomed to using weapons that are easy to use, but the good-natured peasants, with these tools, do farm work very sloppy, if they really want to make them greet people, they can't do it.

No one took the lead in the break-in, they just stuck in the way, discussing countermeasures. Later, it was only through the report that I learned that they were blocking here, and they asked people to call Tan Meng.

In these connected villages, Tan Meng is their head, no matter how big or small, he will come forward. The production captains in each village are only in charge of the work in the fields, and in such a group fight, they who only know how to do the fields are powerless.

They went to find Tan Meng, Xiao Yao's group, and it was uncomfortable to be surrounded inside.

"What should I do? A hard rush will definitely hurt people, and if you can't see it at night, if you don't get a shovel or a seedling down, you will die." ”

Zhao Ping saw that Xiao Yao had turned around twice and returned to the crowd, helpless, and he was also anxious. These people were all brought by him, I thought that I had been planning and planning for more than two months, but I just came to arrest people, get things back, everything was calculated, but I didn't expect to be trapped here now.

"You ask them who knows how to swim, and if you choose someone who is in better shape, three or five people will do. ”

As soon as Zhao Ping heard it, he knew that Xiao Yao wanted to swim across, but why he couldn't understand as long as there were three or five people who were in better health. But he wasn't in the mood to ask at this time.

Soon, Zhao Ping selected five people according to Xiao Yao's highest requirements and stood in front of Xiao Yao together.

"The five of you, strip off all your clothes, jump into the water from different directions, and flutter as hard as you can, and make as much movement as possible, and separate some of the people who are blocking the intersection. ”

"What about us?"

The other personnel, who didn't know what Xiao Yao was going to do, and who couldn't swim, were a little anxious.

"The rest of the people, all looking for scum, but when they couldn't find it, they went to the water's edge to dig as much as possible, and gathered them in a pile to the nearest place to the intersection. ”

Everyone didn't wait for Xiao Yao to finish speaking, they went their separate ways, no matter what they did at this time, it was better than standing up, not to mention whether there was any hope of escaping, at least they were not cold at work.

The selected five people quickly stripped off their clothes, moved their bodies vigorously a few times, and came to the water's edge to pat their chests. It's not okay to go into the water this winter without being prepared, and now you can't jump directly into the water, in case of cramps, it's not fun.

"Wow. ”

"Poof. ”

The five people jumped into the water from different positions, and they didn't need to be supervised, they would also struggle to toss, and if they didn't toss, they would be frozen and unbearable. The water surface around the threshing floor was not wide, and if it weren't for Xiao Yao's orders, they really wanted to swim over and leave.

"Quick, somebody has run away from the water, go over and intercept them. ”

"There's one over there, quick, quick, fast. ”

When the villagers heard the sound of water and knew that someone was going to paddle and escape, everyone ran in both directions.

"Don't hurt anyone, just greet with a straw and a shovel. ”

There are kind-hearted villagers who kindly reminded them that they don't dare to make a big deal and hand them over to Tan Meng, or just let the public handle it when it's dawn.

"There are people in front of them, and they all want to paddle and run. ”

With this shout, most of the remaining people blocking the intersection ran away at once.

"Okay, that's for now, all of them will greet me at the intersection with a scumbag head, and then each person will have a few in their hands, and we will smash and rush out together. ”

Xiao Yao saw that the opportunity could not be lost, and he hurriedly grabbed the mud blocks that he had prepared, and first smashed them, and the mud blocks of nearly twenty people attacked, but they were not too far away, and many people who remained at the intersection were hit.

"Hurry, hurry, stay away, they want to escape, they won't let us rush in. ”

Just at the stall where these people retreated, Xiao Yao led everyone to rush to the intersection from the semi-encircled state, and the scum was flying wildly. Those people had to retreat again and again, and people's hearts were in turmoil.

Xiao Yao led people to rush to the front quickly, and he first knocked the villagers who were blocked on the road and had no time to evacuate into the farmland.

The five brothers who went into the water did not have time to get dressed, they held their clothes in their hands, and ran after them with their bare buttocks.

The rest of the personnel, none of them had a guy in their hands, Xiao Yao saw a villager with a shovel in his hand, afraid that his dog would bite people, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knocked him to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and Zhao Ping also knocked a villager with a guy down in the wheat field.

"Come back soon, they're all running back from the mechanized road. ”

It was too late, that time was fast, and by the time the shouts sounded, Xiao Yao and the others had already broken out of the encirclement, leaving the villagers who came to besiege behind them, and rushed towards the village in unison.

Xiao Yao learned the lesson just now, the road of Weixin, he didn't dare to go anymore, and only by turning back and running from the big ridge could he run back to the river smoothly.

In the village, the villagers who could chase after them were all left behind by Xiao Yao, and those who didn't chase were all lying in the hot quilt at home, and when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps, they got up and watched, and a group of people had already rushed over.

There were also those who got up in advance to check, but when they saw so many outlaws fleeing, none of them dared to come forward to resist. After all, those who stayed at home were women, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

All the way, Xiao Yao and others, in the dark night, take care of each other and help each other, at this time, they don't know that they are tired, they don't know that they are cold, they are five partners with bare butts, and they are also running out of breath and sweating all over.

In fact, in the process of running back, Xiao Yao met someone who ran to deliver a letter to Tan Meng. But Tan Meng's wife didn't let Tan Meng go out, and scolded the messenger, telling him not to call Tan Meng again in the future, and to help people do the lack of virtue that gave birth to a child.

The hapless messenger was hurrying back in despair, and before he could reach the village where he lived, he heard a large group of people running in front of him, and he hid without even thinking about it.

Tan Meng didn't want to help, so why bother? Besides, there were so many people, and he went up to stop him alone, wouldn't that be boring? When more than 20 people ran past him, he hurriedly ran to his village, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with the people at the door of the house.

"Why did you come back alone? Tan Meng? Why didn't you come with you?"

"Stop chasing, they're running away. Tan Meng's wife, didn't let Tan Meng take care of this matter, and scolded me, saying that I was helping people to do the lack of virtue in having children, who did I recruit to provoke whom? Isn't it just that you asked me to deliver a letter?"

Hearing what the messenger said, the villagers who were in hot pursuit all stood down, helping their relatives and neighbors, but they also had to help them, and there were many peasants who may not understand the law, but they knew etiquette and reason, and in their eyes, reason was greater than the law.

The state speaks of legal principles, while the people speak of haircuts and etiquette.

"So what now? Just let them run?"

The villagers who were knocked down in the farmland and covered in mud were a little unconvinced.

"Which of you likes to chase whoever you want to chase, Tan Meng's daughter-in-law is right, anyway, there is nothing wrong with having a child, I don't care, we will help those who should be helped. I went home and went to sleep. ”

Without Tan Meng's appeal, coupled with someone saying this, the Ruan family didn't dare to ask the villagers to help him anymore, although their Ruan family has three brothers here, usually a little domineering, but they don't dare to hold a grudge against what Tan Meng's daughter-in-law said.

The villagers retreated, where did the Ruan family dare to chase alone? The son went to play with other classmates at night, but did not come back, escaped a catastrophe, and the dowry had already been secretly transferred to the city.

Those who should go are gone, and those who want to stay dare not stay, let alone chase, this chasing soldier has disappeared like this.

The crowd, who ran almost collapsed, came crookedly to the ridge of the river. They still didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and under Xiao Yao's instructions, everyone walked upstream along the river.

After walking for a long time, and not hearing the sound of pursuers behind them, everyone came to an adobe wall base and sat down on the damp mud floor. The earthen walls are half a man high, and although they have no roof, they always provide some protection from the wind.

"Brother Xiao, now is not the time to sit down and rest, there is no boat crossing the river here, they are not chasing, they must be looking for Tan Meng, and we will chase after us later, we still can't run away." ”

Everyone was at Yuan Damu's house at night, eating noodles, and now that they have been tossing for so long, everyone is hungry. The cold wind and rain, hunger and cold, so that everyone could not move.

"I don't want to stop, but look at the brothers, where are you still running?"

So many people came overnight, and in the end nothing was done, just smashed these three, and the gap was too big from what was originally expected. Yuan Damu was very annoyed, he knew that there was no possibility of pursuing this matter anymore, as long as the Ruan family didn't come to find trouble for himself, he would burn high incense.

"I'm sorry for letting you suffer such a sin for my sister's sake. I wrote down this feeling, and I felt it after the feeling. ”

At this time, who is in the mood to care if he feels or not? After a while, everyone was much more comfortable, but there was still no movement behind, Xiao Yao asked Wang Yan to go back for a while to check, and found that someone was chasing him, so he immediately turned around.

Seeing Wang Yan walking away, Xiao Yao took out his match and wanted to smoke. He took out a cigarette that was already a little wet in the outer packaging, scattered one for each of the smokers, and struck several matches without lighting them, and someone used a lighter to light them for Xiao Yao.

"You go a few people, go over there and pick up the grass, and we light a fire to warm our bodies. When we regain some strength, if they come after us again, we will be able to run. ”

There was great strength in numbers, and before long the fire was blazing, and everyone sat in a circle inside the adobe wall, baking the fire and drying their clothes.

"What are you doing here, why are you burning my grass?"

Just when everyone was enjoying the barbecue, a broken drink came, but no one paid attention, at this time you are one or two, who will put you in their eyes?

Xiao Yao stood up, came to the outside of the earthen wall, handed over the remaining cigarette, and took out two yuan casually.

"Big brother, we walked here, our clothes were wet from the rain, and we roasted the fire with your family's straw. ”

The man was a little timid when he saw so many people sitting in his homestead, but he was distressed when he burned his own straw, so he had the courage to come up and ask.
