042 Won't be hungry
She was originally frightened, but seeing that the third lady was very quiet, she was affected, and she also calmed down, and shook her head, "I should have died yesterday." ”
"If none of us survive this time. Do you regret trying to snitch? Rong'er asked again.
Qingmei looked at her and shook her head, "Mother Qiao and Uncle Ai are good." I want to avenge them. ”
"Good boy. Is it okay to follow Miss Three in the future? Yuqin stroked her messy hair and glanced at Rong'er.
Rong'er had this intention and nodded.
Qingmei hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Yuqin pulled her up,
"Are you Miss Chang or Miss Shu?" Qingmei's question has not been solved.
It made everyone laugh. Yu Xiang said, "The third lady is Miss Yan. The eldest lady is Miss Shu. The concubines of Anping Mansion are not in separate order. ”
Qingmei nodded as if she didn't understand, and her eyes quieted down.
"The intersections around are indeed guarded. The people who came back from the mountain have been let in by the people at the intersection in front of them. Lang Wenqi pointed to the front.
"Don't come back!" Yuxiang's face was pale, and he folded his palms in prayer.
"Didn't see the back and forth." Ensheng said in surprise.
"Didn't see my brother either!" Qingmei was excited.
"There are a lot of people brought by Xue Changping around." Cultivating them to retreat from the front to Houliao, they were divided into three people to guard the three gates.
The villagers brought by Hu Zhuangtou were very brave, and the six men who watched the granary were seriously injured on the ground.
Xue Changping led people to surround the granary, and said gloomily outside: "Set it on fire!" ”
"Now set fire to the council house, a little earlier. I'm afraid that this fire will alarm the people in Qiaoyunju and far away. "Someone has scruples.
Someone proposed: "Guard a few doors first." Hungry for a day and a night, and then kill again! ”
There was a bang on the door outside, but it didn't open. Xue Changping actually needs some time to sort out, and he must first settle the villagers who are obedient to Lu Zhuangtou outside.
The situation eased temporarily.
"Hu Zhuangtou and five villagers were injured. You go up to the balcony and rest. Tao Ye checked his own situation, came up and said to Rong'er, "All of a sudden, our common medicine is still in the room." But their injuries were too serious to delay. The six grain storehouses were also badly injured, and all of them were tied up and locked up in a granary. ”
Rong'er came down from the observation platform, and the ground was covered with blood stains. Hu Zhuangtou and they were lying in a grain warehouse.
In addition to the two big bars at the back door of the granary, seven or eight wooden sticks were added to the ground, and the back door was built strongly, and this defense was about a thousand catties. There was only one villager from Annan Village, who was here to keep an eye on the movement outside. The most dangerous thing is the backyard and the gate through the hall, as well as the door to go out in the backyard, although they are lined with big sticks, and they are carefully guarded by Jiang Lian and Wei Zui with a Zhuang Min each. Yan Feng and a village housekeeper guarded the door to the kitchen.
There were four warehouses, each containing half a warehouse of grain, one of which was the emptyest, only a small half warehouse of corn, and two large vats, with some pickled pork.
"Third Miss. We have to find a way to get the word out there! Lang Wenqi said like a military advisor.
"I'll get out." Tao Ye Dao.
Rong'er said: "Let's go up to the viewing platform first." ”
"There are a lot of people outside. Most of them are charlatans. Many of the villagers died. Tao Ye looked around from the viewing platform, "There are more than 100 people on the other side plus the strong villagers, and there are scattered manpower at various intersections. I'll rush out and report the news. ”
Rong'er thought for a moment, she didn't expect such a major event to happen in this life, this is also the result of wanting to eradicate the Xue clan, and there was no such thing in her previous life. From this, it can be seen that in the previous life, the mother must have been assassinated by the Xue clan.
"We don't have a lot of manpower, only the four of you can really fight." Rong'er frowned slightly, if Tao Ye left, there would only be three people inside with the five men of Annanzhuang guarding the three gates. It's a hassle if someone outside gets over the wall.
Lang Wenqi said: "First of all." Hang a distress flag around the observation deck. Haven't you come back yet? The sound of the killing just now shook the sky, and I was afraid that it could be heard from miles away. Whether it is Qiaoyunju or seeing the distress flag again and again, he will definitely find a way to report to the official. ”
Ensheng immediately took off the white brocade clothes on his body, "With my clothes, I can write two pieces, one is hanging in the direction of Jinping County, and the other is hanging in the direction of Qiaoyunju." ”
As he spoke, he cut his clothes in two with his sword.
"I'll go down and use the blood of those thieves to write the word 'save' on it!" Tao Zhi picked up two pieces of cloth.
Rong'er said: "Fortunately, the wall of the granary is built high. If they're going to push hard, they have to shrink their defensive turf. ”
Tao Ye nodded, and after a while, he came up with two big stones and a blood book flag, and pressed the piece of cloth with blood writing on the stone railing of the viewing platform.
More than half a meter in size, the blood-red word of salvation floated in the air.
"I wish they could see it." Yuxiang clasped his palms together and prayed.
Rong'er said: "To the south, there are still twenty miles from the county seat in the south. If you know the official from a distance, I'm afraid it will take two hours to go and come and go. And it's going to be smooth. ”
Qingmei whispered: "If you go over the mountain road faster." I don't know if my brother is going back and forth. ”
Rong'er said: "Qiaoyunju is walking in the direction of Huijing, and it is ten miles away from Qiaoyun Town, and there are no soldiers and horses in the town, only a township office, and the people who come to them may not be able to play a role." Thirty miles further on, there is a centurion in Big Fish Town, and it will probably be dark when they are brought here. Only Jinnan County has a thousand-man battalion. ”
It was nearly noon.
"Brothers, prepare a full meal first, and then get rid of it before the officers and soldiers come!" There was a faint voice outside.
Lang Wenqi looked at the smoke in the kitchen and whispered, "We also have to find a way to fill our stomachs." ”
"But there is no stove." There was a warehouse with two buckets of water and a wooden basin outside. There are also some good timber that can be used as firewood. ”
Qingmei said, "There is a corner below where two old pots were replaced in the kitchen last year, and you can build a stove with the stones on the edge of the stone warehouse below, as long as there is a fire!" ”
"It's easy to do." Tao Ye smiled, "Yuxiang, come and go, you come down and cook some food with me." ”
"I'm going to light the fire." Qingmei followed behind Tao Ye.
The sound of pottery splitting sticks was heard below. Then set up two stoves below, one to cook rice and one to cook meat.
Lang Wenqi breathed a sigh of relief, and if he had something to eat, he could delay it for a while.
Ensheng said: "There is no endless road. ”
Rong'er said: "We have to go down to Hu Zhuangtou and them to see the injury, although there is no medicine, but it is good to clean it and bandage it." "I opened the small wooden box that I had brought up, and inside was a box of silver and silver tickets.
Ensheng said strangely: "Didn't you let Wen Qi bring a lot of silver tickets?" You also bring a little coffer. ”
Rong'er took out the bag containing the silver needle, closed the small wooden box, and smiled, but she didn't dare to tell them that she planned to put the money into the money store when she went back this time, so she only said: "Bring more to be prepared." ”
Lang Wenqi was puzzled: "I brought out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels!" ”
Yuqin glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense." Let's go down to see Hu Zhuangtou's injuries. Son Wenqi. You've got pretty good clothes on you, and you can use them to bandage everyone......"
Lang Wenqi took off his coat and handed it to her: "As long as everyone is fine, it doesn't matter if I'm naked." ”
Yuqin's face flushed, "You are a scholar, and you are talking nonsense?" ”
Lang Wenqi reacted, Yuqin was a year older than him, and he smiled slightly, "Sister, don't be angry." Now it's important to save people. ”
"Wenqi and the third cousin are watching the situation outside." Rong'er smiled and walked down.
After a quarter of an hour, Ome and Yuqin delivered rice balls and bacon to each door.
If you don't have chopsticks, you are lucky to eat. Everyone took the rice balls, nibbled on the bacon, and this fragrant meal came together.
The remaining rice balls and bacon can be saved for the evening. Tao Yehe came and went to carry the two pots into the warehouse and put them away.
"Rush!" Sounds of attack rang out in many places outside.
The situation immediately became tense again.
