298 Island Defense
298
After explaining, she went to work on the defensive arrangements of each village, and Yuan Tiancheng and a few of them carried people to the island, which immediately caused a sensation among everyone.
Especially the people of the Song family, when the big guys saw Dong Xiaowan appearing with the child in their arms, they all opened their mouths wide with an expression of disbelief at first, but after being surprised, it was a surprise.
"Xiaowan, are you still alive?"
The old man walked up to her tremblingly, as if he was dreaming, Dong Xiaowan couldn't cry at the moment.
If you feel like a relative when you see Yue'er, then when you see the Song family, you are undoubtedly seeing relatives and elders.
In front of Yue'er, she sometimes held it, controlling her feelings, and now, she cried to her adults like a wronged child, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
Bai Xiumei and several of them came over collectively to persuade each other, "Old man, we should be happy, you said that your family is reunited again, why are you crying, you look at it and frighten the child." β
The old man noticed the child in Dong Xiaowan's arms at this time, and the first glance made them feel distressed.
Dong Xiaowan looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and quickly explained, the old man and daughter-in-law took turns hugging the cat and crying.
"Alas, Xiaowan can live, we should be happy, come, come to the house to talk, you tell grandpa, how did you find here?"
Speaking of this, Dong Xiaowan briefly told everyone about the outside and her own experience.
"Fortunately, I met Yue'er, she brought me over, grandpa, I knew you were here, I would have come over a long time ago......"
The old man's mood suddenly became a little depressed when he heard what was going on outside, "A few of you accompany Xiaowan and the children to take a bath and eat, I have something to say to Tiancheng, Dahu, a few of you stay-"
Knowing that Yue'er had something to explain to them, the people present listened very seriously, if it wasn't serious, it wouldn't work, if it was really like what Yue'er said, the people of Chu would definitely use the island where they were located as a place to respite, then the safety of this island could not be guaranteed.
"Yue'er said that she had someone repair things before, saying that Ye Cheng knew how to get it, you took me over to see, and I don't know how it is now, saying that if there is damage, hurry up and repair it, the island will be sent to take turns on duty these days, and once there is a situation, you can deal with it at any time, and she will come over in person in two days, by the way, where are the three ships now?"
Song Zhiqing pinched his fingers and counted the day, "It is said that when I left last time, I said that I was going to transport another batch of grain back, and I should be back soon, if there are three of them on the ship, maybe the pressure on Yue'er's side will be easier."
Regardless of whether they can come or not, let's prepare first, Ye Cheng, you and your Tiancheng brother will have a look, we can't have an accident here, otherwise, not only Yue'er but also other people will be restrained. β
After all, the old man is a person from the past, although he has never been to the battlefield, but this life experience can be regarded as rich, he has never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run.
Yue'er teaches the big guys to build a barrier wall in various villages, and they don't use other things to build it, they just use sacks to pack it with sand, and use fishing nets to make several layers of shelter around it, which is convenient and trouble-free, and more importantly, so that the people who guard here can have a sense of security.
This is just a defense on the shore, and she also made arrangements at sea, so she was so busy, until the business at hand was basically over, she had the time to go to the island.
She didn't feel very good in the last two days, the problem was that the big ship hadn't come back yet, and without the help of these three ships, she was a little apprehensive, after all, she was a peasant child, and she hadn't experienced war, so she didn't know how to fight this battle.
Bai Xiumei and the others were taking the women on the island to catch the sea, when they saw a small boat sailing over in the distance, and when they looked at it, it turned out to be their own daughter, and Bao'er first shouted at Yue'er who was fluttering in the distance.
"Sister, my eldest sister, sister ......"
Yue'er saw her younger brother jumping and waving at her from a distance, and her dull mood seemed to disappear in an instant, and her eyes were full of her younger brother, and Bao'er had grown a lot taller.
Lu Tianqing shook and chatted with Yue'er about the things on the island.
ββ¦β¦ Every time I come over, Bao'er will ask about you, alas, you don't know how much he misses you, speaking of which, this child is really attached to you. β
Yue'er waved at the figure in the distance, "Mother, Bao'er, sister, I'm here......"
Bai Xiumei has already heard her little daughter talk about things outside, so she is even more worried about this big girl who is still running outside, no matter what she says, in her eyes, her daughter is still a child, and she has to bear too much.
Seeing the figure of the girl getting closer and closer, her tears involuntarily slipped quietly, although she had not seen what happened to the eldest girl this time, but listening to what the little daughter said, her heart was raised.
Before the boat docked, Yue'er couldn't wait to jump down, and picked up her brother's hard wheel.
"Sister, let me down, I'm grown up, you can't hold it-"
Yue'er rubbed her brother's chubby little face vigorously, "Bao'er, you won't be fat at any time, my sister can still pick you up." β
The little guy was a little shy, pulled Yue'er and ran to Bai Xiumei, seeing that the girl was still black and thin, pinned some messy hair behind her ears for Yue'er, and looked at it lovingly.
"Well, I'm not injured, it's not bad, girl, are you really going to hit the people of Chu this time?"
Yue'er looked up at her ruddy and fair-skinned mother with a ruddy and fair face, with a satisfied smile in her eyes, "Mother, at present, we are also ready, everything is ever-changing, who knows where they can invade from, there is no place in front of the village on our island, there is no store behind the village, and there is no one to help, so I asked you to prepare in advance, it is better than panicking at that time, mother, you can rest assured, I will stay here and command it at that time." β
Bai Xiumei nodded her daughter's forehead funny, "You girl, you are still in command, where can so many adults use a girl like you as a conductor." β
Yue'er made a naughty grimace, "Mother, you underestimate your daughter, don't you, maybe I'm the talent, let's not talk about this first, I have to find Ye Cheng and a few of them." β
Bai Xiumei pointed to the mountain, "They haven't even bothered to eat for the past two days, saying that they want to repair a few more lookout points, and my mother doesn't understand this, alas, I don't know if the people of this Chu country can come." β
Pan'er helped take things down on the side, and didn't forget to help her sister intercede, "Mother, it doesn't matter if it can't come over, it's definitely right that our island is stronger."
Sister, let's go, I'll take you home, this time my mother rearranged the room for the two of us, it's really good-looking, it's much better than the house in the country......"
The two sisters actually don't have too many requirements for where they live, it's good to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, but it's good to live in the cold, Pan'er will inevitably have some plots of her little daughter's house, and she also wants to share this news with her sister.
Bao'er took Yue'er's hand, "Sister, I'll take you over." β
In fact, Yue'er is more concerned about whether Dong Xiaowan and her mother are adapting to the island.
"It's good, just now the aunt of the Song family took the cat and the mother to the soup, saying that it was good for the two of them, and the other people were busy with their own things, and the mother said that while the bad guys didn't come now, they should hurry up with more things, and they were dried and delicious."
Since Dong Xiaowan's mother and son are nothing serious, Yue'er and her younger siblings went to the room they liked first, not to mention, the things brought back from the capital came in handy, and the room was really warm by their arrangement, which made people feel that this was home, the feeling of a little girl's boudoir.
"Other people are similar to us, aunts and aunts said, girls can't be treated badly, the conditions are simple, since there is something, then follow our girls first, she also said, girls will marry in the future, I don't know how to do it, in front of their parents should enjoy it."
Yue'er agrees with the idea of the daughter-in-law of the Song family, it is indeed not easy for a girl to live in the present, but she really doesn't have this free time to enjoy it now.
"Let's go, let's see how the island's defenses are doing."
When she was recuperating here before, she had made some defensive things out for prevention, but this time it was not a simple prevention, if the number of enemies increased, this defense would definitely not play a big role.
But when she passed, even she herself was a little surprised, Old Man Song saw Yue'er coming, wiped the sweat on his head and asked proudly, "How about it, Yue'er, can we do this?" β
Seeing these defensive things that the old man and they made, even Yue'er stretched out a thumbs up to him, "Grandpa, you are really good, you can do this thing, it's amazing." β
The old man smiled very heartily, "That's it, do you think the Song family was a family of scholars before, it's not, my family was also poor when I was a child, I often went to the mountains with my father to hunt, and by the way, I also looked at the traps made by others or something, and some organs and other books have also been explained, your grandfather and I are not old and pedantic, just know how to read dead books, the knowledge in this book should be used in practice, that is the ultimate purpose of reading." β
Pan'er stared at Song Zhiqing with a look of adoration on the side, "Grandpa, you are too powerful, I said that Brother Ye Li is so smart, his feelings are all with your old man, I will learn from you on the island in the future, you are all real skills." β
The old man happily touched his beard and laughed, "You little girl, you will coax the old man to be happy, come, go over and have a look, by the way, also put forward opinions, we imagine it is beautiful, but one person is short, and the more people who watch, will naturally have better opinions." β
Not only on the mountain, but even on the nearby beach, the old man dug a trench, and buried a pointed bamboo skewer in it, it is estimated that if someone falls into it and does not die, it will be a serious injury, and the width of the trench has exceeded the distance that a person can walk over.
Yue'er nodded, and continued to look at the next line of defense, halfway up the hill was full of stones, and the bunker was just enough to shield the people inside from harm.
"There is a small road here that can just lead to a line of defense at the back, where there is no road, even if you want to be strong, but there are traps and traps everywhere, as long as someone dares to come up privately, it can only be to find death."
The old man introduced Yue'er as he walked.
The third line of defense is on the island, "There are fishing nets here, there are too many people, and you can only use this to deal with them, and there are rolling logs ......"
Yue'er looked at the defense measures of various locations on the island with a calm face, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Grandpa, since we produce oil, can we think of a way to make the other party's ship catch fire at sea, so that some people can not land, and the people on the shore can be less dangerous?" β
The old man nodded while listening, "Don't say it, your idea is good, we all thought about how to deal with the enemy when they came up, but we didn't think about how to prevent them from coming up."
Wait, when the big guys discuss it at dinner, maybe they can come up with a good way when there are more people.
Besides, the big ship is supposed to come back, and when the time comes, we will be even more like a tiger with their wings. β
Ye Cheng and Song Chengwen's eldest son, Song Jizu, nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then the two of them walked behind and discussed in a whisper.
"Sister Yue'erβ"
Xu Feng was helping in the field, and when he heard that Yue'er was coming, the little guy couldn't wait to find it.
Seeing that Xu Feng has grown a lot taller and stronger, Yue'er's heart is really fulfilled, when she first saw this child and Xu Shao, it felt the same as now.
Yue'er greeted her with a smile, "What's the matter, this year's harvest in the field should be fine, right?" β
The little guy puffed up his chest proudly, "That's, we big guys are busy in the field every day, there is no shortage of water, no waterlogging, if there is no harvest, then I'm sorry for us."
Sister Yue'er, I heard that people from Yebei called, saying that the people of Chu Country are also coming, why do so many people want to come from our Golden Dragon Kingdom? β
Yue'er smiled bitterly and touched Xu Feng's little head, "Because they are greedy, they treat our Golden Dragon Kingdom as a big piece of fat, and everyone wants to come over and take a bite, so we have to work hard, we can't let them come and bully us casually." β
The little guy clenched his fists, and his face was full of anger, "Well, then let's beat them back, there are so many of us, spitting and foaming can drown them, and they can't stay in their own place, so they dare to run to our territory to be arrogant, and beat them back to grandma's house." β
Yue'er put her arm around Xu Feng's shoulders with an approving expression, "That's right, we can't let them succeed, so we have to find a way to not only drive the enemy away, but also save ourselves from harm."
Let's go back to dinner first, and then continue to figure out how to do it later. β
During the meal, Song Jizu and Ye Cheng came over individually, and everyone regarded this place as their home, especially Yue'er was still his cousin, so Song Jizu didn't treat Yue'er as an outsider.
"Yue'er, we have come up with a solution, their ship is made of wood, can we find a way to burn their ship with our oil?" (To be continued.) )
