Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bandits Are Coming
After the team members were full, Aunt Li and Wu Li took back the leftover meals, dishes and chopsticks and other things.
At present, Wu Lei's family temporarily lives in Li Si's house, after all, Zhang Rui's house really has no suitable room for people to live in. His family's rented land in Shier Village has been refunded, and the rent owed has also been repaid by Zhang Rui.
If you want to say that the two families live together, the happiest thing is the children of the two families, and the four children can play happily together.
The few meals left made the villagers who were already onlookers very greedy, but they were also embarrassed to come over to eat. Zhang Rui could only pretend not to see it, not because there were not many meals, but because he had no obligation to invite them to eat all the time, so it was easy to raise them lazy.
Zhang Rui asked Li Si and Wu Lei to fetch many weapons from home, and Li Niushi was sent out to the town to buy some medicinal materials to cool off.
When the team members had just eaten enough and were not suitable for training, Zhang Rui found Chen Deyun and Chen Decai and the two mountain people in the team, Hong Hu and Cheng Long. Let them go to the distance to set up a sentry at the Chipwood Ridge, and if they find the bandits coming, they will come back and inform them immediately.
There are high mountains all around the Chipwood Ridge, and the only way to pass Datong Village from Zhilian Mountain is to bypass its undermountain passage, otherwise it will be very difficult to pass through it. People standing on the mountain can look at the detour pedestrians three miles away, which is really the best point for sentry.
Chen Deyun and the other four took the self-defense dagger and bow and arrow given by Zhang Rui and set off to Chipping Wood Ridge. Before the rest of the team members could understand the departure of Chen Deyun and the others, they were gathered by Zhang Rui. Begin to do the second thing, say military discipline. Of course, Zhang Rui will not explicitly say that it is military discipline, but only that the bandit suppression team must abide by the discipline.
What military discipline is used? Zhang Rui thought about it for a long time, and he didn't have that level of compilation, and he borrowed too much from the Qing army for fear that they wouldn't be able to remember it. I had to borrow from the three major disciplines of the Red Army and pay attention to the eight points of attention, and changed some of them.
In the words, the revolutionary army was changed to a bandit suppression team, the masses were changed to the common people, and the people were changed to villagers. The defense of the motherland was changed to the defense of villages, and the prisoners in item 8 were again emphatically explained, referring to bandits who confessed their mistakes and surrendered before the start of the war, and all bandits who did evil were eliminated.
To say that the reason why Zhang Rui still remembers these three disciplines and eight points of attention is still very much, thanks to the fact that when he was in elementary school and junior high school, the school's radio broadcast kept repeating and repeating these military songs.
Because the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the bandit team members were also very active in asking questions, Zhang Rui replied to every question one by one and answered every sentence of the questions that he didn't understand. When the explanation could not take the people with a stitch and a thread, it made the onlookers cheer and admire.
In order to deepen the impression of the players, Zhang Rui asked the players to line up and call them to sing one by one. This is a big deal, you must know that in the era of the Qing Dynasty, there were no entertainment programs. At most, the villagers can only watch the puppet show at the temple fair and want to listen to the singing? It is possible to be reincarnated as a rich boy in the next life.
Listening to Zhang Rui singing this catchy song to the bandit team members one by one, the villagers who were not interested in watching came to watch.
And so the hour passed, and it was near noon. There are more and more onlookers, and many villagers from neighboring villages want to come to Datong Village in the morning after they are busy with their farm work, and maybe they can have lunch with the sixth brother. The villagers, with all kinds of ideas, slowly gathered in the open space where the sixth brother trained the bandit team.
At this time, the crowd was so large that it surrounded the empty training ground in a circle. Some villagers who are not tall enough even climb up to the branches to look.
Watching more and more people gather, it was noon again, and the weather was so hot that the population was dry. Some villagers in Datong Village have actually set up white porridge stalls, and they can drink thick rice soup with rice grains for only two yuan, and if they want to eat a bowl of dry "cool rice porridge", they will cost five yuan.
Of course, if you can endure hunger, you can also go to Li Si's to ask for a bowl of water to drink, which doesn't cost money. Zhang Rui looked at so many people, and deliberately asked Li Si and Wu Lei to boil boiling water. Although in the Qing Dynasty, it was not popular to eat lunch and eat only two meals, such as morning food and night dinner. But there are still some villagers who have never eaten morning food and can't stand the hunger and buy porridge to drink, and the cost of a few pennies also makes them feel distressed.
Zhang Rui watched the bandit team members remember almost all the three disciplines and eight points of attention, so he asked them to sing separately one by one. Every time the other team sang, the members of the other team couldn't help but hum, but they immediately stopped under Zhang Rui's eyes. Because Zhang Rui once asked for the issue of discipline, when he was in line, he couldn't speak if he wasn't asked by the captain.
The team members are not allowed to hum, but the onlookers can ignore your rules and regulations. It is rare for them to hear such melodic and "beautiful" songs, and if they don't learn it, they won't lose anything. Therefore, the villagers who watched each group sang along, and when the final chorus was due, it was even more spectacular than ever.
When Zhang Rui had just finished announcing that he would let the team members all go to the shade of the tree to drink water and rest! Chen Decai looked nervous and anxiously came over to find Zhang Rui
"Sixth brother, the bandits are really here, they were passing by Chipping Ridge when I came back. If they don't rest, it is estimated that they will be here in half an hour at most, and the sixth brother will have to prepare. ”
It seemed that the people who should come would always come, so Zhang Rui pretended to be calm and asked, "I know, do you know how many of them come?" ”
I saw Chen Decai shake his head and said: "At that time, the situation was relatively anxious, I didn't count carefully, I only saw a large group of bandits, and my brother asked me to come back first to report the news." ”
"A big flock." After listening to Chen Decai's words, Zhang Rui naturally muttered to himself, and then let the people who had rested for fifteen minutes leave the line again, and said to everyone in the team:
"Brothers, just now Chen Deyun, Chen Decai brothers, Cheng Long, Hong Hu and others found out in Chipwood Ridge that a group of bandits are coming to us, everyone said what to do!
As soon as they heard Zhang Rui's words, some timid villagers began to leave the place and rush home.
"Sixth brother, there is nothing to say. Since we are called the bandit team, are we still afraid that they will not succeed as bandits? ”
In the team was Li Mutou from Lijia Village, and said loudly. With the people of Lijia Village, they all chimed in. When someone starts, others continue
"Yes, Sixth Brother, take us over to fight with them, and if you die, you will be killed, and you will earn money by killing a bandit..."
……
"Very well, I am very grateful to all of you here, but at the moment you are not true fighters of the bandit team, and you have the right to be afraid. I now allow those who are scared to leave. Is there anyone willing to leave? ”
Zhang Rui looked at his teammates gratefully, but decided to let them choose for themselves.
There was a small commotion among the bandits, but no one left. Most of them are young men between the ages of sixteen and twenty, so they leave without even seeing the bandits, so they really have no face. Such a faceless thing is done and still used to live in this area?
Zhang Rui saw that no one came out, and said fiercely like a threat again: "You have to think about it, if you don't leave now, when the time comes, if you fight and flee privately, don't blame me for being ruthless and killing people when the time comes." ”
"Sixth brother, don't say anything, I don't know what others think, I'm just going to kill bandits with Sixth Brother, if that's the case, I'll go home, where do I have to put my face, it's better to die and pull down." It was Liu Shishi from Liuliang Village who spoke.
"Yes, I'm just like Brother Stone..."
The people of Liuliang Village immediately followed, and many people were brought with them.
