Dongfang Huajin didn't panic much, and calmly proposed: "It's time to gather all the villagers, dig traps around, and dig tunnels in the village!" ”

In addition, she also had to quietly make a few land mines and bury them in the courtyard walls of her house----- and in those places with poor defense capabilities, so as to prepare for the worst and prevent her house from being attacked by the villagers and outsiders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, until the moment of extreme crisis, she will not activate this land mine. Moreover, this land mine, she will make it alone, and it must be the kind of soil that can no longer be soiled, very simple and coarse. Even if someone finds out, it won't cause much shock and won't bring a huge disaster to the family.

The old patriarch and the village chief nodded in unison: "Okay, listen to your orders!" ”

As for why they didn't force the villagers to dig traps and tunnels earlier, the two didn't ask.

Because, the reason is very simple, if the village people are forced to dig early, few people will definitely respond positively, and even complain. Most of the people in the village are simple, kind and honest, but there is one bad thing, that is, they don't have a big picture and only care about their own small family.

Saying that there will be chaos and bandits will attack, there will be few people who believe it at all. Because, Cuizhuwan is not a rich place, and it is at the foot of the mountain, even if there are bandits and wars, everyone can hide in the mountains. To waste a lot of energy and time digging tunnels and traps, it is better to go to the mountains to dig up more wild vegetables, herbs, etc., and pick up more firewood.

However, the Oriental Painter had already dug three tunnels, which ran from the carpenter's workshop, the courtyard of the grandparents and the courtyard where the Pu family lived, to the back mountain, and to the utility room of the chicken farm, leading to a hidden place in the mountain.

The family hometown next door leads directly to the back mountain.

There are also tunnels in the homes of the village chief and patriarch, and several of Ye Mao's friends, and the tunnels of these families meet in the ancestral hall and lead to the back mountain.

The newly renovated ancestral hall in the village is right next door to the carpenter's workshop. The authenticity of these families is connected to the carpenter's workshop. However, there is a door that separates it, locked on the carpenter's side of the workshop, and will not be opened unless it is an emergency. In other words, the initiative is in the hands of the Oriental painters.

The school also dug a tunnel to connect with the ancestral hall.

The tunnel of the hometown of the clan next door is also connected to the tunnel of Ye Mao's family. However, of course, there is also a door that can be locked on both sides. If the locks are not opened, neither can go to each other's homes.

The village chief and the patriarch urgently summoned the men, women, and children of the whole village to formally propose to dig tunnels and traps, and this time no one objected. Every family is very obedient and listens carefully to the dispatch. One family at a time, draw a laborer, and dig traps. The rest of the people will hurry up to dig tunnels for their own families, or make good friends and dig together.

The village chief and Shen Qing'an personally led the people, and greeted the village chiefs and patriarchs of the nearby villages, as well as the captains of the village protection team, reminding them of the importance of digging tunnels and traps, as well as the things that need to be paid attention to.

Preparations are in full swing.

Dongfang Qi'an and Song Ci both sent people over to inform Dongfang Huajin that the border war had escalated. She must pay attention to safety and defense work, do not take it lightly, and never go out of the village. To go to Houshan, you must have more than 10 people to travel.

After the tunnels and traps were dug, the village chief commanded the young men in the village to cut down many leafy trees according to the proposal of Dongfang Huajin. The trees, along with their branches, were carried to the entrance of the village and the rest of the entrances and exits. The branches of the large tree are placed outward, which can form an impenetrable barrier, which will be difficult to pass unless the person with good light skills will be able to pass through.

The old patriarch glanced at Dongfang Huajin and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, with traps, tunnels and thorn walls, it is equivalent to having four lines of defense!" ”

"Well, with the mountains, it's actually five lines of defense! In this way, I am much more relieved! This kid is indeed very good, but it is really the lucky star of our Cuizhu Bay! The village chief smiled rarely, his nerves had been tense for all this time, and he was even having nightmares when he slept.

The old patriarch nodded: That's right, if it weren't for her, these ten miles and eight towns would have been captured long ago. If you don't go into the mountains to be savages, you will have to leave your hometown and flee! ”

The village chief sighed: "Escape, where is it so easy?" I'm afraid that the entire Cui country is caught in the flames of war, where are you going to flee? ”

Old patriarch: "I heard that the area south of the Yangtze River is still safe. Separated by a surging river, it is a natural danger. Ordinary small wooden boats are not easy to cross, they must be big boats! ”

The village chief shook his head: "I can't see it, the Jiangnan area is so rich, it shouldn't be able to live in peace." Besides, when I went to Jiangnan, I didn't know how many dangers I would encounter along the way. Of the 1,000 people, it is estimated that there will be no more than 10 people who can reach Jiangnan safely. The people in our village can't have the idea of fleeing, even if the village is breached, they can only choose to hide in the mountains. ”

The patriarch sighed: "But, deep in the mountains, there are tigers and wolves! ”

Village Chief: "The whole village gathers and goes into the mountains together, no matter how fierce the tigers and wolves are, they will be afraid!" ”

Just when the village had just made all kinds of preparations and had not had time to catch its breath, a large group of bandits swept in one early morning. Hundreds of bandits, riding tall horses and holding bright broadswords in their hands, captured the nearest town to Cuizhuwan, as well as the few villages that did not have a village protection team.

When Dongfang Huajin learned the news, he discussed it with Ye Mao, and immediately sent ten guards from his own escort team to hide in the mountains and forests behind the house as a secret sentry, so as to prevent thieves from sneaking over from the other side of the mountain. Twenty more guards were sent to assist the village guards and guard the east end of the village. Of the remaining twenty guards, ten remained at the house and ten patrolled the village.

Reinforcements for other villages? No kidding, before the villages are separated by at least two miles. Wasteland, croplands, forests, streams, ditches, there are so many that bandits or enemy armies have no difficulty in hiding in them.

The village guards in the village, the families of those people, definitely don't want their own people to die. Although most of the people in the Oriental Painting Brocade Guard's team are slaves, these days they get along, and those with bad character are basically eliminated and sold far away. The people who stayed behind had feelings, and she would not waste their lives.

There is no way, at this time, I can only take care of the people in my own village. Before, after listening to her words, the village that was ready to deal with it will naturally not be in a big problem. If you can't beat it, you can hide in the tunnel, or enter the mountain through the tunnel. If you are not prepared, you can only swallow the bitter fruit and blame others.

No one in this world is anyone's savior.

In the days that followed, everyone had a thrilling life.

On the third day, the village adjacent to Zhaojiazhuang was attacked by bandits. Fortunately, most of the people in the village moved from the tunnels to the deep mountains, and the grain, gold and silver were soft and soft, and they were basically hidden in the mountains and forests.

In the depths of the mountains, people from several villages around this area had already searched for a relatively secret place in the mountains and dug a few caves as early as a few days ago. In addition, several simple huts were built.

On the fourth day, Guojiazhuang and Fangjia Village were broken one after another, and with the lesson of Zhaojiazhuang in front of them, the people in these two villages were already prepared. The old man and the children, as well as the food and money, were all hidden in the mountains a day in advance. Chickens, ducks, geese and pigs were also killed and made into jerky or braised meat.

On the fifth day, Shenjiazhuang and Lishuwan also broke one after another.

These two villages are most affected by Cuizhuwan, and they have made more adequate preparations. So, before retreating deep into the mountains, only three people were slightly injured. There was basically no loss of food and money. And chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, as early as half a month ago, have been killed and made into jerky and braised meat. The cave dug in the mountains is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. This cave was formed naturally, and the villagers enlarged it a bit and dug protective traps around it.

Before the bandits came to attack Cuizhuwan, the old man and children, as well as pregnant women, were ready to leave at any time. Most of the grain, herbs, clothes, shoes and socks, as well as dried meat and dried fruits, were moved to the cave two days in advance. That cave is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. The most important thing is that it is very secretive and difficult to find.

Near the cave, there is even a bubbling spring.

On the day that Shenjiazhuang was attacked, the elderly, children and pregnant women in Cuizhuwan began to move to the cave in an orderly manner with a small burden. In the baggage, in addition to two sets of underwear and inner storage, it is all the money in the family.

There are many families in Oriental Painting, and next to that natural cave, a cave was dug for his family and slaves to settle down. This cave is divided into an inner cave and an outer cave. The inner cave is where several sisters of Oriental Painting Brocade live with their grandmother, Niang Gan and a few personal maids.

The cave has opened ventilation holes and lighting holes, which is safe and comfortable.

Most of the people in the village are very envious, and there are many people with red eyes.

However, there is not a single one with a bad heart.

After all, if it weren't for Oriental Painting, everyone wouldn't even be able to save their lives. Besides, there are so many people in her family, even if someone wants to calculate her family's money, etc., they don't have that ability!

Strength, in this troubled world, is king!
