In winter, the soil is dry and loose, and the cavalry is really smoky and dusty, and with the beacon fire in the sky, it really makes people panic.

"Tartars, the Tartar cavalry is coming!" Someone shouted.

This voice made the entire Baibao Village immediately chaotic, fortunately, more than 100 households, more than 30 young people went to Huairen's side again, and the chaos could not go there, at this time Li Zongqi was still making up for sleep, and Xiang Bo, who was urging martial arts training, walked out quickly, he glanced at the villagers running around, turned around and went back to get a long stick out, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun hurriedly followed.

I only saw Xiang Lao Han striding in the village, and saw that what he was shouting was a stick to sweep down, and after a few sticks were beaten, the people in the village were quiet.

"Mourning! The Tartar cavalry is coming, how can the beacon fire be like this! Why is it so much smoke! ”

The villagers didn't dare to talk back, but everyone didn't dare to stay outside the courtyard, and the entire Baibao Village quickly quieted down, presumably hiding in the cellar.

Xiang Bo shook his head, led Zhu Da and they went directly to the outside of the village, the large puff of smoke and dust was getting closer and closer, looking at the cavalry looming in the dust, I couldn't tell how many, the rumbling hooves also came, the momentum was indeed not small, Xiang Bo stood there calmly, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were subconsciously nervous.

"What a fucking bastard, so don't care about the mount, don't kill the enemy and pursue, how can you run away like this, and show a fart with the poor man!" Xiang Bo looked at the approaching smoke and dust, and scolded with disdain.

After scolding a few words, Xiang Bo turned around and said: "This cavalry will not exceed twenty, it is estimated that it was sent by the guard, if the Tartar cavalry comes, don't say you see it, you can hear the movement in the village, and the ground will shake." ”

The cavalry that came from a distance slowed down when it was dozens of paces away from Baibao Village, but it didn't stop, and one of the cavalry came out and beckoned: "Brother go to Zhengjiaji first, I'll rush over later!" Then he went straight to the village of White Castle, and the others rushed away.

The voice is not small, Zhu Da heard it very clearly, this Zhengjiaji is a big town in the south of Baibao Village, more than 1,000 households, thousands of people, it is the first prosperous place outside Huairen County, there are many shops in the town, and there are many places to have fun, but the people of Baibao Village rarely go over, first, there is not much spare money in their hands, and secondly, it is not easy to cross the river across the Xiami River.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry who left the team had already arrived, this person Zhu Da had actually seen it twice, and he was one of the family members who came here to send orders, and unlike the previous times, this time the family was covered in clothes, with knives and bows hanging on both sides of the saddle, and the front chest of the mount had a skin barrier, and it seemed that the person was also lined with protective armor.

Fully armed, strong and strong, it does look very majestic, but the expression of that family Ding is domineering and frivolous, looking like a rich man who shoots a spring hunt, Zhu Da does not feel the slightest bit of fierceness and murder, this horse riding family Ding swaggered, he didn't pay attention to the three old and young people standing at the entrance of the village, and went straight to Li Zongqi's house with a familiar way.

Before Xiang Bo and the others went back, the atmosphere in the village had relaxed a lot, and the family members of the big old man faction were very common, and this was nothing to be afraid of.

And Xiang Bo and Zhu Shi both brought a flat pole and a basket, and borrowed a few tools, only saying that they were going to other villages to help Xiang Bo's relatives and friends do work, and went to the cave found yesterday together, Zhou Qingyun was full of interest and wanted to follow, but was ordered to practice martial arts with Zhu Da at home, and there could be no relaxation.

Before leaving, Zhu Da specially reminded two sentences, don't go out of the village and go directly to the mountain nest, but go to other villages to detour first, and look back to see if anyone follows after walking for a while.

"Once or twice, no one is watching, it's hard to guarantee that there will be trouble after a long time, so it's not a big mistake to be careful."

"I don't know if it's the master who mixes the rivers and lakes, or the apprentice who mixes the rivers and lakes!"

Xiang Yue Xiangbo didn't deny Zhu Da's words, just laughed and scolded, and set off with Zhu Shishi, who was a little nervous.

By the way, they told the news brought by the family, saying that the commanders of the guard station had sent down a military order, and that they wanted each hundred households to train military households and be on strict alert, and that once there was news, they would report it, and anyone who delayed and delayed would be dealt with by military law.

In addition, he also told each hundred households that the commanders and the family soldiers of the thousands of households would come out to patrol and suppress the bandits, and the thieves could not be arrogant for a long time, and they would soon be exterminated.

"This gang of thieves shouldn't be able to jump for long, although that gang of thieves is arrogant, they still have real skills in their hands." After hearing this, Zhou Qingyun was very excited.

Li He had suffered a big loss in the hands of these people, but he also recognized Zhou Qingyun's judgment, and just lowered his voice and said: "My father said that this group of family Ding soldiers is also very troublesome, and if they are released to various hundred households, they may be better than thieves and soldiers......

The above sent down this batch of uncles, and the following will be served with good food and drink, and they will have to do something else, each hundred households are poor, and the foundation is thinner after paying rent and sending errands, and after being tossed by these uncles, there is not much difference between being washed by thieves and soldiers.

Compared with the optimism of Zhou Qingyun and the Li brothers, Zhu Da heard more meanings, the big men of the guard house are clearly perfunctory, pushing the responsibility and precautions to the following, what news is reported immediately, there is really real news, the case must have been done, and the anti-thief measures are all false, the only real thing is that each hundred households set up their own group drills, and they are strictly guarded, but think about each hundred households being drawn dozens of people, and the strength is also very empty, how can this be calculated?

However, at present, the situation in Baibao Village is quite optimistic, compared with the hundreds of households in other villages, Baibao Village has begun to be vigilant, the villagers are young and cohesive, and Li Zongqi, who is in charge, is a responsible person, and Zhu Da has inquired, compared with the nearby hundred households, Baibao Village is not the worst, but it is not rich, after all, this side is some distance from the official road, there is no convenient benefit of business and sales, the oil and water are not big and difficult to gnaw, and the thieves are not willing to make trouble in vain.

After Li Ying and Li He finished speaking, they were not in a hurry to leave, and said a few more gossips, Li Ying also took out a pocket and shook it, it was used for oil, salt and grain for lunch together that day, Zhu Da smiled dumbly, no wonder he came at this time, he should still want to eat a fish.

The adults are not at home, there is nothing wrong with everyone getting together to have a lively meal, Zhou Qingyun is also full of welcome to this, the smoked fish tastes better and better, and everyone is happy to eat at noon.

After eating, the Li brothers were not in a hurry to leave, and watched Zhu Da process the fishing rod with great interest, this process is not complicated, it is nothing more than tying the fishing line to the fishing rod, and adding a float, the sewing needle is burned red in the stove, take it out and carefully hammer it into a hook, and connect it with a thread after it is cold.

"Can you catch a fish?" Except for Zhu Da, the other three didn't believe it very much, and urged Zhu Da to try it by the river.

But Zhu Da didn't agree, he said that he and Zhou Qingyun still had to practice martial arts, and they would go back after everyone made an appointment at noon tomorrow, and the Li brothers were full of reluctance, but there was nothing they could do.

"We can't relax in martial arts, we don't have enough time to run today, and we don't have time to go fishing!"

"If you want to say that you are still my junior brother, how can you be the same as the master!"

Regarding Zhu Da's righteous words, Zhou Qingyun muttered a few words reluctantly, but still practiced together.

Looking at the beacon smoke in the sky, Zhu Da had a sense of urgency in his heart, according to Xiang Bo's words, even if the Mongolian cavalry really broke through the side wall and entered Datong Town, even if no one stopped them along the way, it would take ten days to come to Baibao Village.

"Let's have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the Tartars are coming in and some are fighting, be careful, but don't be so afraid!"

This is Xiang Bo's original words, but Zhu Da doesn't think that the distance of ten days and what warning makes this side safe enough, he has walked through this generation on foot, and knows that the terrain here is very flat, although Zhu Da does not know the speed of the cavalry, but this horse Pingchuan is suitable for cavalry to break through the terrain always makes him hang.

At present, there is no solution, the possibility of surviving by leaving his family and Baibao Village is very small, the only thing that can increase security, or increase the illusory sense of security, is to practice martial arts, make yourself stronger, and survive in this era, but Zhu Da also knows that no matter how much you practice martial arts, it is useless to encounter cavalry, it is better to exercise your body now, and you can run faster and save your life when the time comes.

Think about the novels I read at that time, the one who changed the world, this wine maker and salt seller, he could only stay in the village, in order to survive, in order to live a better life, desperate and hard, maybe this is the truth, the vast majority of people can only go with the tide in the trend of the times, instead of breaking the wind and waves.

Practicing the knife is still very boring, but Zhu Da feels the progress, although the progress is very small, after these six sets of simple movements are proficient, you will feel the coordination of muscle force, the same action in the past, but the ability to be consumed by the torso and limbs and superfluous movements, the real use of the knife is very little, and now it can ensure that most of the strength falls on the knife, and it will not freeze.

This small realization and progress made Zhu Da more focused, but Zhou Qingyun on the side was impetuous, and Zhou Qingyun was more attentive when Xiang Bo was there, and if he was not there, he would not be able to hold his breath. But such a difference is normal, adults know why they learn, they know the value and meaning of learning, teenagers only feel the hard work and boredom of learning and connection, and of course, the adults who can work hard and diligently are not the majority at any time.

In those more than 20 years, we can see many people striving to be the first, for themselves, for their own future glory and wealth, because in that era, there were upward conditions and space, whether it was the country or the people, this is the case, China for thousands of years, there has never been such a scene.

Distracted, Zhu Da smiled self-deprecatingly and waved his hand again.

In the practice room, I heard the uncle shouting angrily: "Come out and help the handle, we are back!" ”

There was joy in his tone, in the past ten days of contact, Zhu Da never thought that Master Xiang Bo could get carried away to this point, and he must have gained a lot!
