Chapter 177: Not a Pirate of the Caribbean
As Ning Xin said, Zhangjia Village is a small and poor village.
There are dozens of families in the village, and they rely on farming fields to raise chickens and ducks on weekdays, and basically produce and sell their own food, and no rich things can be exchanged in the market.
After Ning Xin and his party walked into the village, they looked at them in surprise all the way.
Everyone in a village is a relative, and outsiders can recognize it at a glance.
"Let's go to the east end of the village."
Zuo Er resolutely disagreed with Ning Xin's behavior of running outside the village to try to get close to the scene of the incident to watch, and Ning Xin had to agree to the compromise in the east of the village.
"Look, there's a fire there."
Ning Xin pointed to the black smoke billowing in the distance.
"I don't know how Daddy is preparing."
The villagers of Zhangjia Village obviously did not know what was happening, but the village, which had long been on the fringes of the list of pirate harassments, was no stranger to the scene.
It must have been a firefight with the pirates, and as for which one was in the upper hand, it was impossible to tell.
Nearby villages were attacked, and they were not in the mood to farm and harvest vegetables. The chief is also the patriarch, and he shouts from the east to the west of the village at the top of his voice.
Ning Xin followed the direction of the flow of people and walked to a circular playground surrounded by dock forts.
"Is this a half-finished dock fort?"
Ning Xin has grown a little more in the past two years, looking around and seeing high and thick walls, there are high ladders and battlements, and there are gaps in the walls the size of windows where weapons can be placed.
It's just that this dock doesn't look high enough, and it doesn't have an extension or an inner layer. If the outside is attacked, they probably won't survive. Ning Xin turned around curiously and found that there was no food, and there were a few large vats filled with some water.
This village is really poor, and the vats are all open.
"Who are you?"
Ning Xin seemed to be a tourist, and after following the flow of people in, she kept looking around, not blinking too much in a group of ragged and yellow-skinned villagers. The lieutenant still has a little knowledge, and seeing that although the child in front of him is still young, he is not dressed in an ordinary way, so he is very careful to inquire.
"This is our little Langjun, I heard that the Haikou have been rampant recently, and Lord Taishou has the heart to expel the Haikou Kou, so I came here to see and see."
Cui Song's little servant served her, so she was not used to talking. Ever since he entered the inner courtyard to serve the girl, he had never worn such rough clothes.
After reciting silently ten times in my heart, I am a little girl, Cui Song felt that he dared to look directly into the eyes of the inside.
"My little Langjun is from out of town, and he lives in the Fang family these days."
Cui Song finally said what he had discussed, and his heart was much more stable.
The wrinkles on his face all show the vicissitudes of life he has experienced, and he has believed most of them in his heart when he heard Cui Song say this.
That little Langjun has a good bearing and good looks, he must be a Langjun of a certain high-ranking family, who would draw his head and hear that he would fight and come to see it.
"Xiaowu" said that he lived in the Fang family, and Linhai County said that the Fang family was of course the Fang family, a popular person beside the lord.
The lieutenant had originally guessed that the identities of these people were not ordinary, but his conjecture was verified, and his defense in his heart was greatly reduced.
Ning Xin is still a little Lori, and she doesn't look particularly feminine when she wears boy's clothes. The gap between young boys and little girls who are not developing is not very significant.
is white and chubby, and there are many boys who are more like girls than Ning Xin.
This era is the era of loving beautiful men, tendons, chest muscles, abdominal muscles, wheat skin is not sought after. White and clean, handsome facial features are the hot spots sought after by everyone.
If a modern beautiful man has a beard, or a long beard in a fairy drama, it must be a spoof. However, Ning Xin's era thought that it was good to have such a beard.
Ning Yuan also wanted to grow that beard, but every time he didn't grow long, he was destroyed by Ning Xin's ruthless hot hands. Ning Yuan struggled with his beloved daughter and beautiful hair before he endured the pain and shaved his beard.
Beautiful men look good no matter how they puff up, just like it is fashionable for a model to wrap a rag on the runway. Ning Yuan doesn't have a beard at this age, it's really different, but he doesn't seem to look good without a beard, is this a new fashion trend? The fashion-conscious "trend pioneers" do not have newspapers, let alone the Internet, to inform them of their current trends.
Ning Yuan does not grow a beard, and under the influence of celebrity effects, many "trendy people" also shaved their beards with heartache. They all looked two or three years younger.
The chief had a rough evaluation of Ning Xin's identity in his heart, and he was even more attentive.
It's not peaceful now, if something happens to this little Langjun, they really can't eat and walk around. But if he protects this little Langjun, he will say a few kind words in front of Fang Gongcao, maybe there will be some surprises.
"Xiao Langjun, although our dock fort has not been built, it has all the defensive functions it should have. Every time, the Haikou only robbed in Zhuangzi near us, but we rarely came to Zhangjia Village. ”
The lieutenant asked Ning Xin to be the only place in the entire Wubao where a stone bench was built, and invited her to sit.
Seeing that the patriarch was so diligent and careful, the villagers couldn't resist their curiosity and quietly looked at them. Invisibly, they retreated one after another, keeping Ning Xin half a meter away from the place he had walked.
"Every time the pirates raided, we could see black smoke burning from nearby villages. Sometimes we can hear faint screams, and we can hide in this dock fort without a problem. ”
The lieutenant is older, and his speech is a little intermittent, and he sounds more difficult.
The second from the left explored around the dock fort, and even climbed the wall to look into the distance.
"Our area is often plundered by pirates, and some villages have very large dock forts, and the whole village hides in them to eat and drink for two or three days. Haikou's heart is very small, I heard it when I was a child. ”
Speaking of this, the chief paused, as if reminiscing about his long childhood.
"Lijia Village beat away a group of pirates, and everyone in the village was celebrating, everyone sang and danced, ate meat and drank wine, and laughter spread throughout the sea, and the pirates quietly returned to the village at night." The folds of the inner length are painfully gathered together.
"Everyone in a village was killed, the old people and children did not survive, and the Haikou not only killed people but also burned the whole village. Since then, even after the defeat of the pirates, no village has celebrated on a large scale. ”
"Our village is poor, and we don't have enough to eat, so we don't have anything to save, so we rarely come. Every time I hear them coming, it's just a vague movement, Xiao Langjun doesn't have to be afraid. ”
The lieutenant chief was about to comfort Ning Xin with his dry hand, but Ning Xin suddenly ran away, stood under a dock fort, squatted down, and pressed her ears against the wall.
The chief looked at his empty hands dumbfounded, and some didn't react.
"Cui Song, look at the girl, don't let her run around." The second from the left climbed down from the wall, frowned, and suddenly spoke.
"Xiao Yangzi, follow me to bring the weapon in."
Cui Song's face turned pale, and he swallowed heavily and spit, his throat tightened.
"The pirates are here?"
The second left nods expressionlessly, and left the dock fort like a gust of wind.
