Zhao Bo said: "This time I killed these 18 pirates, if the news leaks out, it will definitely attract more pirates to retaliate, and they will definitely slaughter the village if they come again, and it will really be extinct." I hope a few heroes can stay for the time being to help us deal with the Japanese Invaders, please. Otherwise, we will have to leave our homes. ”

"Please, heroes, save us!" A group of villagers knelt down in unison and pleaded with Xia Xue

Looking at the sincere eyes of the simple and poor villagers, Xia Xue's heart throbbed, and she decided to stay and protect these villagers. At the same time, a glimmer of dawn rose in my mind: "Changxi Village may be my first base for development in the south, and a spark can start a prairie fire." ”

Thinking of this, Xia Xue said loudly to the villagers: "Folks, we have decided to stay and help everyone deal with the pirates and pirates!" ”

The villagers roared with joy.

After the election, everyone unanimously agreed to let this beautiful and talented "little fairy" be everyone's head. Xia Xue is also not modest and gladly accepts, which is a common characteristic of girls in the future era: self-confidence!

Xia Xue asked everyone to dig a big pit, leave behind the weapons and money and food on the bodies of these would-be robbers, bury all the corpses, block the news, and strictly prevent the news from leaking.

The two light yellow pirate ships docked at the beach also quickly pulled ashore and painted them black.

"Folks, since the government is unreliable, then we rely on ourselves. I want to form a guard team in Changxi Village to protect the villagers and eliminate the pirates, and a few of us will train them personally, do you support it! Although there is no money and no horses, with her charm, appeal and the simple instinct of the villagers of Changxi Village, Xia Xue believes that she can quickly form a team that belongs to her own and is loyal to herself, and she is also confident that this team will become an invincible "iron army", which has always been her dream. In the troubled times, "a soldier is the king of grass", Xia Xue is full of desire to have an armed organization of her own as soon as possible, and now she just takes the opportunity to deal with the Japanese invaders to form the first team of her own in Changxi Village.

The "win-win" behavior of taking into account both self-interest and altruism is the most admired by mankind in the future era. The kind of selfless dedication of "benefiting others without self-interest" is not admired or liked by human beings in the future era, believing that it is not in line with the selfish nature of human beings and is not conducive to personal development. Of course, the behavior of harming others and benefiting oneself is also spurned and despised by mankind in the future era.

Hearing that this fairy girl and her companions were going to help Changxi Village deal with the pirates, and also help them establish and train the escort team, everyone was excited and applauded, warmly welcomed and supported, and a glimmer of light and hope rose in their hearts.

At one point, dozens of lads asked to join the convoy. Xia Xue looked at these young men with vegetable faces, yellow faces and thin muscles, and thin bodies. sighed, there is no way, there is a general lack of food, a general lack of nutrients and oil and water! It seems that the guards will have to be nourished in the future, otherwise how will this physical fitness deal with the fierce pirates.

"Sister fairy, I'm Zhao Ning, and our three brothers want to join the escort team......"

The five people standing at the front each announced their names, namely Zhao Ning, Zhao Feng, Zhao Quan, Dugu Jun, and Pan Jiang.

Zhao Ning, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Quan are the three brothers, that is, not long after Xia Xue entered the village, he saw three young men fighting with hoes and other farm tools. Uncle Zhao is their father. Due to lack of nutrition, the three brothers of the Zhao family are all a little thin and medium-to-high. The height and age of the three brothers are just opposite, the second Zhao Feng is taller than the eldest Zhao Ning, and the third Zhao Quan is taller than the second Zhao Feng. The skin of the three brothers is not as dark as that of the seaside people, the eldest Zhao Ning is dignified, the biggest feature is small eyes and big nose, because he went to private school when he was a child, he is the most literate among the three brothers, the highest level of education, loyal and persistent, and more studious; The second and third Zhao Feng are both big eyes and high nose bridges; The second Zhao Feng is thin and handsome, with a calm and meticulous personality; The third child is handsome and quick-witted, with a rough and bold personality.

Their family also has a married sister and an eight-year-old fourth brother Zhao Qiang, father Zhao Bo and mother Dong were very supportive after hearing Xia Xue's decision, so that their three brothers enthusiastically signed up to join Xia Xue's escort team, protect the family and the village, eliminate the pirates, and avenge the dead villagers. The eldest Zhao Ning is actually eighteen years old, one year older than Xia Xue, but they all respect Xia Xue very much, so they call her her sister no matter how big or small. Xia Xue knew that the villagers were simple, and she didn't care about these subtleties.

Dugu Jun is the handsome young man who held a long sword and killed several Japanese robbers in a row. He has a long body, fair skin, handsome and agile facial features, a pair of narrow eyes with unfathomable black pupils, a perfectly straight nose with determination, and a pair of tightly pursed lips that indicate that he is not a man to be messed with. He was originally a Xianbei nobleman, but after his father's death, he and his biological mother were persecuted by other half-brothers in the family to escape from the north to the south and live in Changxi Village. He had an uncle-in-law, who was a petty official in charge of grain and grass escort in Guidi, Lingnan, and his mother was ready to take him to his uncle, but unfortunately it happened to be a troubled time, thieves rebelled, the road was blocked, and he temporarily lost contact with his uncle. Now Changxi Village has been attacked and harassed by pirates, my mother really doesn't know what to do, I just happened to meet Xia Xue and their party here, and they are ready to help Changxi Village deal with pirates, my mother immediately supported Dugujun to join the escort team and make a contribution to the protection of the village. Dugu Jun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are extraordinary, but first, he has to take care of and protect his mother, and secondly, there are many pirates in the Japanese, and he alone is no matter how high his martial arts are, he is outnumbered. A martial arts master written in those martial arts novels can get dozens or even hundreds of samurai in a snap of his fingers, that is just an exaggeration of fantasy, the so-called "a good man is hard to defeat four hands", and people's strength and physical strength are limited, when dealing with the attacks of many people, there are times when exhaustion and physical exhaustion, so when dealing with a large number of enemies, you can only rely on the strength of the team.

Pan Jiang is not tall, lean, dark-skinned, and a little ugly, but he is agile and has also studied martial arts, he and Dugu Jun are iron buddies, seeing that Dugu Jun has joined the escort team, he naturally wants to participate, of course, he also wants to use the team strength of the escort team to avenge the death of his relatives. Pan Jiang's brother was killed by the Japanese Invaders, and his sister-in-law also committed suicide by jumping into the sea after being insulted by the Japanese Invaders. Finding an opportunity to take revenge has always been Pan Jiang's strong desire, but in the past, he was weak and difficult to deal with the large number of pirates, but now that he has an escort team, of course he must actively participate.

"Okay!"

After preliminary screening, Xia Xue selected 20 people from dozens of young people in Changxi Village as members of the escort team. Among them, there are Sima Chao, a dark, thin and tall fisherman with excellent water nature, and Wu Lei, a blacksmith with five big and three thick, strong and powerful.

The convoy was there, but it was unarmed.

Xia Xue assigned the 18 waist knives, short swords, and short knives seized from the Japanese to twenty guards, and there were still two missing, and when they were thinking about what to do, Dugu Jun and Pan Jiang said that they didn't want to, Dugu Jun had his own ancestral sword, the Qinglong Sword, and Pan Jiang also had a family heirloom waist knife, so it just so happened that each of the 20 guards had a short weapon.

However, Xia Xue considered that the Japanese would come at any time, and the training time was tight, so it was impossible to have so much time to teach them to practice swordsmanship or swordsmanship, so she had no idea for a while.

However, she saw a lot of bamboo and trees growing around Changxi Village, and she couldn't help but be moved.

"One inch is short, one inch is dangerous!" Short weapons are difficult to master, and it is difficult to rely on them to defeat the enemy in the short term.

"An inch long and an inch strong!" Long weapons are relatively easy to master.

Xia Xue remembered watching movies before, some ethnic minorities cut bamboo or hardwood into bamboo guns or wooden guns, which can be used as weapons to hunt and kill enemies, and bamboo guns or wooden guns are long weapons that are easier to master.

Xia Xue's eyes lit up: "Each of you prepares a bamboo gun or wooden gun one zhang long, gather here tomorrow morning, and we will go to Sanshawan for training after breakfast." ”

The length of a zhang is about more than 3 meters in later generations, and the traditional length units in ancient times are generally zhang, ruler, and inch, and Xia Xue can only follow the local customs.

Xia Xue's father was originally a special forces soldier and taught Xia Xue a lot of fighting skills, Xia Xue believed that these guards of Changxi Village had been trained by themselves to ensure that they would all become howling man-eating tigers!

"Thank you, Sister Fairy!"

Zhao Ning and the others went with great expectations.

In order to increase nutrition and enhance the physique of the members of the escort team, Xia Xue decided to build a large stove in the courtyard of Lamber's house, with a canopy on it, and a collective stove for the guards to eat. The benefits of collective big pot rice are that it can give priority to these guards who are ready to shed blood and sacrifice to protect the village, and increase their nutrition, and secondly, collective big pot rice can also enhance everyone's team spirit, so that everyone can quickly get familiar with each other, trust each other, and hug each other.

Lamber is in his 50s, and his wife died a few years ago. He has two daughters, both of whom have been married, and a son, who was killed by pirates the year before last. Now he is the only one left in the family, with four dilapidated thatched houses, and he vacates the unused house for Xia Xue and them to live in for free. He knew that the little fairies were the heroes who protected Changxi Village, and if it weren't for them, his four thatched houses would probably be burned down by the pirates sooner or later. Therefore, he took the initiative to invite Xia Xue and Li Jing to live in their house, and at the same time wanted to add some popularity to the deserted home.

Xia Xue saw that Lamber was so enthusiastic, so she readily agreed.

Xia Xue asked the bearded guest, Ouyang Yong, Ouyang Qian, and the red whisk girl to go to a nearby county town to buy some food and transport it over to help the guards further improve their nutrition and physique. Regarding the training of the escort team, she felt that it was enough for the time being with Li Jing.

The money she brought was not enough to buy food for the whole village, but it was enough for the twenty guards to open a small stove for the time being, there was no way, now that the money was small, she could only take care of the guards first, after all, the Japanese were coming soon.

Xia Xue is not the kind of brainless stupid good girl who is indiscriminately kind, she knows how to prioritize, and now she can only use her limited money on the blade.
