Chapter XVII

Xu Guoren and Guo Hu were holding guns, while Guo Danian was carrying a bow and arrows on his back and a hunting knife in his hand, following behind the two, with his waist bent, and walked cautiously towards the village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Suddenly, they found that in a small ditch with no water at the back of the village, there were several children lying on their stomachs, all of them pouting and trembling, obviously frightened.

Xu Guoren and the three jumped into the ditch, and several half-grown children were immediately frightened and begged for mercy: "Spare your life, spare your life, we are all children, don't arrest us, if we do, we will only waste food." ”

Xu Guoren slapped the back of the head at one of the oldest guys, and said with a smile: "I'm your brother Guoren, not a bad person!" ”

Only then did several children dare to raise their heads, and after seeing Xu Guoren and the three of them clearly, they all surrounded him and cried to him.

"What's going on? Don't rush, don't cry, speak slowly. Xu Guoren saw that a few of them were gossiping, and they couldn't speak clearly at all, so he hurriedly shouted.

Then he pointed to the older kid, "Come, you say." ”

"Brother Guoren, bandits, bandits have come to our village!" The eldest child said with a frightened face.

"What, bandits? How many people are there? Where are you now? Xu Guoren was taken aback when he heard this, and asked repeatedly.

"I can't see clearly, they are riding horses, there must be dozens of people!" The half-grown child said: "The bandits said that they didn't rob the poor people this time, but only robbed the landlord in the village, and now they are surrounding the Guo family's compound!" ”

Hearing that the bandits only robbed Guo Papi, Xu Guoren couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, so that at least their families would not be in danger for the time being.

"Brother Guoren, what should we do? Do you want to help? Guo Hu looked up at the outside and said vigilantly.

Xu Guoren thought about Guo Shiyin in the Guo family's compound, and the second miss of the Guo family, who was likely to be Guo Shiyin's sister, but was robbed of her first kiss by herself, gritted her teeth and decided: "Help, no matter what, Guo Papi is not bad for all of us, my father is sick, and people also borrowed a carriage for us, just by virtue of this, we can't sit idly by." ”

"Well, you can't be ungrateful, brother, what do you say!" Guo Hu and Guo Danian both nodded in agreement with Xu Guoren's decision.

"Let's find out the situation first, and then make plans!" Xu Guoren just took two steps, then turned to the half-grown children and said, "A few of you are just staying here, don't run around, do you hear?" If the bandits kill the red eyes, your life will be in jeopardy! ”

"Uh-huh!" Several of the children nodded their heads, obviously frightened.

As the richest landlord within a radius of more than ten miles, Guo Papi's Guo family compound has thick doors and high walls, and there are more than a dozen family members who can play with knives and guns, and can use bows and crossbows or shotguns, just in case of emergency.

No, the bandits attacked, and while Guo Papi was frightened, he still ordered all the family members to climb the wall and go up the house to resist.

There were more than 30 bandits, but not all of them were equipped with guns, only a dozen or so backbones had guns, and the others were also swords, guns, clubs, and bows.

Therefore, as soon as he saw that the Guo family compound was on guard, the bandit leader of a one-eyed dragon ordered his subordinates to suspend the attack, and started psychological warfare against Guo Papi with his throat: "Guo Papi, you listen to Lao Tzu, we are the people of Qingfeng Village, this time I came to ask you for money and food, if you know each other, you should quickly give money and food, otherwise, the door will be broken later, and you will definitely be bloodied in your Guo family compound!" ”

Guo Papi stood in the house, only Guo Shiyin and Guo Shiling's two daughters were by his side, and several aunts and wives were so frightened that they hid in the backyard and didn't know where to go.

Hearing the shouts of the bandits, he turned pale with fright, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, wiped the cold sweat with a handkerchief, looked at Guo Shiyin and the sisters anxiously, and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter!" ”

"Dad, don't trust those bandits outside, even if you give them money and food, they may not give up! Maybe they will take the opportunity to come in, and then our family will be wiped out! Guo Shiyin said fearlessly.

"So what do you say?" Guo Papi also understands this truth, it's just that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and he can't think of any way to solve the crisis now.

Guo Shiyin's pretty face was solemn, and she took out an American-made M1911 Browning pistol from behind her, and said: "Dad, as long as we guard the hospital, they won't be able to get in, and we can't hold it, so let's fight with them!" ”

Guo Papi saw that his eldest daughter was playing tricks, and took out a gun, and was immediately startled: "Shiyin, you, the gun you got here?" ”

"Dad, there are some things, I'll tell you later, now my daughter will fight bandits with the family to protect our Guo family! Your daughter doesn't have to be a boy! After Guo Shiyin finished speaking, he held a gun and climbed up the ladder to the courtyard wall of his house.

The courtyard walls of the Guo family's compound are specially designed, so there are battlements similar to the city wall on it, which is suitable for defense.

The family members couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw that the delicate eldest lady came up with a gun.

Guo Shiyin said awe-inspiringly: "Brothers, my Guo family is not thin on you, and now the time has come for you to serve!" If the bandits come in today, everyone will not want to live, but as long as the bandits are repulsed, each person will be rewarded with 30 yuan! Are you willing to fight with the poem to defend the Guo family? ”

"I am willing to fight to the death with the eldest lady and defend the Guo family to the death!" More than a dozen family members were encouraged and responded in unison.

Xu Guoren and the three of them hid behind a pile of earthen walls not far from the right side of Guojiabao, heard the echo from the Guo family's compound, and then looked at Guo Shiyin who was raising his arms on the courtyard wall, and couldn't help nodding and praised: "It is worthy of being a cultural person, there is indeed a set of fooling people!" ”

Seeing that the morale was high, Guo Shiyin immediately raised his hand and fired a shot at the bandits outside, although because the distance was too far, the bullets flew out of bounds.

But it completely annoyed the bandits, and the one-eyed dragon was furious and shouted, "Damn, you really don't take Lao Tzu as a dish, do you?" Brothers, rush me! Stepping through the Guo family's compound, the women inside, the money and food are all ours! Kill! ”

Dozens of bandits shouted one after another, those with guns opened fire, and those without guns shouted and rushed forward on horseback.

Some people also used bows and crossbows to shoot at the Guo family's compound.

Bang bang! More than a dozen bandits opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets hit the courtyard wall of the Guo family's compound, and the mud and rubble fell.

Guo Shiyin and the family guards bent down and bowed their heads to dodge, all of them were nervous, and the morale that had just been boosted was mostly wiped out in an instant.

However, as soon as the bandits approached, Guo Shiyin stood up in the rain of bullets and shot down again and again, her American-made M1911 caliber is large and powerful, and even a horse can be beaten half to death with one shot.

The bandits were just a rabble, and soon, she shot two people in public, and the family guards were innocent, and they all stood up with courage, drew their bows and arrows, and shot outside.

A few more unlucky bandits were shot with crossbows and fell off their horses screaming.

The armed bandits hurriedly fired back, and the two family members were unfortunately hit, fell from the courtyard wall, and died on the spot.

Xu Guoren saw that the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, thought about it, and suddenly became anxious, turned his head to Guo Danian and said: "Danian, you go and bring those little guys, collect all the firecrackers in the village, and in addition, find a few more iron buckets, go quickly!" ”

"Good!" Although Guo Danian didn't understand Xu Guoren's intentions, he still responded, turned around and ran away.
