"Here comes the Tartars!"

After hearing this shout, the fields outside the village were quiet at first, and then the pot exploded, everyone put down the farm tools in their hands, and ran towards the village.

Zhu Da couldn't run hungry, so he hurriedly walked to the roadside field, for fear of being knocked down and trampled by the villagers.

After a while, Zhu Da saw his parents, he was just in this direction, his father Zhu Shi and mother Zhu Wang were stumbling, when passing by Zhu Da's side, Zhu Shi was already in a hurry, and hurriedly went to drag Zhu Da, where Zhu Wang's stumbled, but he was lying on the road, and more than a dozen people were running over behind, and they were about to step on it.

"Dad, help my mother up first!" Zhu Da couldn't stand now, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhu Wang waved his hand there, and shouted at Zhu Shi with a resolute face: "Leave me alone, take the child back!" ”

Seeing that the people behind him were getting closer and closer, Zhu Shishi was ready to listen to Zhu Wang's words and do it, but Zhu Da was in a hurry, he didn't care about any etiquette, and shouted at Zhu Shishi: "Dad, even if there are Tartars coming, the distance from us is at least dozens of miles, and we can't come in a few hours, what's the use of being anxious, drag my mother back first, don't be trampled on by those crazy people!" ”

His screaming made Zhu Shi sober up, and hurriedly helped Zhu Wangshi up with Zhu Da, and left the middle of the road, seeing that someone fell to the ground behind him, no one paid attention, he was trampled on seven or eight feet, and he was taken a few times by farm tools, lying on the ground and howling in pain.

"Wangshan ran a dead horse, the weather is sunny and windy today, look at the appearance of the smoke column, it's still far away, let's not worry!" Zhu Da explained two sentences, when traveling in the wilderness, this kind of observation and ranging was a very basic skill.

Beacon, beacon tower, light the beacon fire to warn, then the enemy is still in the north, that is to say, even if the Tartar really comes, the distance between it and this side is actually far more than dozens of miles, leaving more time for the villagers to react, but this analysis Zhu Da will not say it.

A family of three stood on the side of the road, panting first, Zhu Shishi hesitated slightly, or went back to pick up the farm tools thrown in the field, and then walked home.

There were cries and commotion in the village, but unexpectedly, no one ran out, everyone was busy, and there was still some time before dinner, but there was actually the smell of cooking wafting, which made Zhu Da very puzzled.

"At home, get the food out first, make it into cakes, and prepare it to eat when you flee!" Hearing his father Zhu Shishi's shouting, Zhu Da understood the source of the fragrance outside.

Helping Zhu Wang's family to pour out the grain, Zhu Shi dragged Zhu Da to the side house where the grain was stacked, half of the grain was piled here, and half of the sundries were piled up, Zhu Shi cleaned up the debris, but saw a wooden stick lying on the ground, stepped forward and grabbed the wooden stick, and found that there was a rope connected to the ground, moved a few times, and dragged it upward, it was actually a cover, the wooden board was covered with dirt, it looked like it had not been opened for a while, the soil on the wooden board and the ground had been mixed together, and it could be seen that there was a cellar under the wooden cover.

"Xiaoda, if there are thieves and Tartars coming, if you don't have time to run, go into this cellar, remember to close the lid after entering, and shake it after the cover, and then don't come out no matter what movement outside, until it's quiet, understand? Be sure to remember! Zhu Shishi said solemnly, and Zhu Da nodded hurriedly.

It's easy to figure out how dark and dilapidated the storeroom, with the lid of the cellar almost integrated into the floor, and the shaking of the lid makes the traces blurred.

After the instructions, Zhu Shishi dragged Zhu Da to be busy together, cleaning out two of the only three clay pots in the house, Zhu Wang's boiling water while making cakes, boiling a pot of water and putting it in the crockpot, and then carried it to the cellar, the smell of the cellar is not very bad, and if you look closely, you can see the ventilation holes, and what surprised Zhu Da even more is that there is a small water tank in the cellar.

For the villagers, the water tank is already quite a valuable property, I never thought that there is also a cellar that has not been opened for a long time, after a simple cleaning, began to pour water into the water tank, the Zhu Shi said while filling the water: "If something really happens, you just follow your father, let's run to the mountains first, we can't run anymore, and then enter this cellar, you don't have to be afraid, your grandfather, your grandfather, so generations have come over." “

Zhu Da listened attentively, this is the first time he has heard of it, and his parents have never said it in his twelve years of life, what surprised him was his father Zhu Shishi's expression, very helpless and calm, but later, Zhu Shishi sighed: "It's been peaceful for ten years, and I thought there would be no disaster!" ”

The father was very calm, in fact the whole village was very calm, panic in the fields was one thing, after entering the village, it seemed that every family knew what to do, presumably every family had a cellar, and every family was prepared to flee into the mountains.

At this time, Zhu Da once again confirmed his judgment, this is indeed the era of personal cannibalism, the tiger and wolf are not only the family of the old man, but also the Mongolian tribe on the grassland, not only he realized that this is a personal cannibalism, the era of precariousness, everyone may know, but everyone has become numb and has become accustomed to it.

The beacon smoke column rising in the north quickly disappeared, but there was no accurate news coming, everyone was still worried, and when it was about to get dark, someone knocked on the gong to gather everyone to go to the door of Li Zongqi's house, everyone was busy and panicked all afternoon, and now they are somewhat calm.

There are more than 100 households in Baibao Village, hundreds of people are larger, and the Zhu family is considered to have a small population, so there is no need for children to go over, but Zhu Da must go with his parents, and no one will stop him.

The courtyard of Li Zongqi's house is very spacious, when the three members of the Zhu family arrived there, there were already many people there, Xiang Laohan and Zhou Qingyun, who left the village in the morning, were also there, compared to the panicked villagers, this old and young were the most calm.

Li Zongqi Li Ji, who was standing on a few stones, was also a little overwhelmed on his face, which was very clear in the reflection of the sunset, which made everyone even more uncertain.

"Everyone has arrived, don't worry, folks, the beacon tower is far away from us, and there is something that can't involve us here, besides, if the Tartars come, the beacon will be lit one by one, the nearest is only five miles away from our side, and now since there is none, that is, the Tartars have been beaten away, everyone should be busy with what to do, don't miss the agricultural time."

Li Zongqi is the head of the village, speaking of which is the first-class figure of the village Zhengzhuang, who is considered to have seen the world, and is considered to be a backbone, many people are relieved when he says this, and the buzzing discussion also sounds.

"If you don't feel at ease, you will send people out of each family to sentry, and if there is anything to do, you will ring the gong and shout, and the others will not worry about it, go back and rest well, you have to work hard to dry the grain and pay the rent, and the above is urgent!"

Li Zongqi is quite planned, he talks eloquently, and the villagers' minds are becoming more and more stable, but Zhu Da noticed one thing, this Li Zongqi has to look down at the old man Xiang Yue every time he says a few words, and then he will continue, it seems that these words are taught to the old man, and only the old man who has been on the battlefield and seen the world will have such a specific judgment.

After the people's hearts calmed down, the atmosphere in the village became relaxed, and the matter of leaving the village to post began to be delayed, and more people went out of the village to pack up farm tools, and many people rushed back in a hurry to throw farm tools and grain in the fields.

Tossing until now, Zhu Da's stomach is rumbling, the mental impact just now, running busy, but it made him ignore the feeling of hunger, but now it has become even more uncomfortable.

Dinner was quickly made, the atmosphere at this time was very similar to the rest of the life after the disaster, the family was extremely relaxed, and his father Zhu Shishi also praised Zhu Da a few words: "Our children are smart, others are panicked, but Xiaoda can understand." ”

After saying this, he said with emotion: "Our Datong is a place of iron, Tartars can't get in, this peaceful life has been ten years, there must be God and Buddha blessing, what are we afraid of!" ”

Zhu Da gobbled it up, and sighed in his heart, people will always subconsciously avoid those difficulties that cannot be solved, if there is no way, just pretend that he does not exist, there is no difference between the past and the present.

After eating his own bowl, Zhu Da was still a little dissatisfied, once he increased the amount of exercise, the demand for food also increased, but he didn't ask for it, because Zhu Da knew that his parents would satisfy him if he had more food, but his parents would starve, and they would be busy with a day's farm work, and they also had to eat and replenish.

"Dad, today I went to find that Xiang Bo to learn martial arts, but Xiang Bo didn't agree, can Dad go with the child tomorrow, this is more certain!" After eating, Zhu Da made a request, and today the beacon fire was lit, and the whole village was panicked and nervous, but in a sense, it was not a bad thing, which proved the necessity of learning martial arts, so at this time, it was proposed that the parents agreed to be very likely, and there were elders and adults who came forward, and they were more sure.

Hearing Zhu Da's request, the smile on his father Zhu Shishi's face disappeared immediately, his hand slapped on the dining table, and said impatiently: "I just praised you for being smart, you have an idea, and you went to find that old man Xiang, his house is haunted, do you know that he has a life on his hands, he has no children and grandchildren, and he can't even sleep well, do you know or not, do you think that you are old and like him?" ”

This answer is also an expected one, Zhu Da just felt helpless, he never thought that this adult-like expression made Zhu Shi even more angry: "What are you doing to learn martial arts, compete with others, you can still be honest if you don't know martial arts, you can still be honest if you are bullied, you can endure it, you can still endure it if you know martial arts, you will definitely stand up with others, you will definitely cause trouble, our family is such a lone seedling like you, what should I do!" ”

“....... Dad, I must go and learn martial arts! ”

"If you want to learn, you can learn it yourself, no matter at home, see who teaches you, then the old man will not pay attention to you!"
