------------------------------------------------------------------
When Yu Xin woke up, it was completely dark. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info had been patrolling and guarding all night, and in the morning there was a battle of rhinoceros beasts, which naturally cost a lot of money.
Glancing at the food on the table, which had become cold, Yu Xin smiled slightly. It must have been Yanyan Nan Nizi who brought her food, and when she saw that she was sleeping dead, she didn't wake herself up.
Estimating that it should be time for him to be on duty, Yu Xin hurriedly washed up, and hurried towards the ancestral hall. When he arrived, the third team was already waiting for him in front of the ancestral hall.
Yu Xin's face turned red, he was late on the first day of taking office, which is not good.
But when Yu Xin walked up to everyone, he found that everyone was looking at him with reverence but inexplicable looks, which made him inexplicable.
"Since everyone is here, let's prepare to set off to take over the second team's brother, uh, no, it's the villagers who will take over the second team." Yu Xin raised his hand and said in high spirits.
"Ah, Brother Yu Xin, you're here, you've just gotten up, right? Let's eat something and go again, I just made another hot meal. Yan Yan heard Yu Xin's voice and rushed out of the ancestral hall.
Brother Yu Xin finally came, at noon Yanyan originally wanted to wake up Yu Xin, but was stopped by Sister Gongsun who happened to be on vacation, and the meal was also said by Sister Gongsun to be left for her to eat, so she had to make a new one and leave it for Brother Yu Xin to eat after waking up, and now it is just hot in the pot. Thinking that Brother Yu Xin was going to taste the food he had made for him, Yan Yan was overjoyed.
Yu Xin came late, so it was naturally not good to let the villagers of his team wait for a long time, so he waved his hand and said, "You have been busy all day, now go back and rest." Just give me two steamed buns to cushion, and the meal will be eaten when I get home. ”
Yu Xin rubbed Yanyan's hair with a look of pity. The villagers, who had already had logistics on the side, came out with two hot steamed buns.
Yu Xin was not polite, as soon as he caught the steamed bun, he stuffed it into his mouth, didn't care about enjoying the hot dishes made by Yanyan, turned his head and left with the people of the third team.
Although Yan Yan was a little unhappy in her heart, she knew that what Brother Yu Xin did was more important, so she only wrinkled her nose and turned around and went back to the ancestral hall. Even if he wants to go back to sleep, he has to say it to Elder Xu first.
On the other side, Yu Xin led his team to the entrance of the village and handed over to Shen Yunying, who was commanding the second team of villagers.
"Are there a lot of wild beasts coming on this day? No one was hurt, right? Yu Xin saw that Shen Yunying and the others were stained with a lot of blood, and frowned and asked.
"Not much, and only small beasts, not as fierce as the rhinoceros. Most of the blood stains were from the flesh of the beasts. People are all right. ”
Shen Yunying smiled meaningfully at Yu Xin, and looked at Yu Xin stunned. How do you feel that the eyes of the villagers looking at themselves are a little abnormal today.
"Oh, that's good. Thank you all for your hard work, so let's leave it to us. Yu Xin put aside distracting thoughts, patted his chest, and said to everyone.
The villagers of the second team obviously heard about Yu Xin's glorious achievements, and they all nodded at Yu Xin with admiration and inexplicable expressions, which was regarded as a response.
After seeing the second group of villagers leave, Yu Xin looked at the bright moon in the sky and said to the people in his team: "The light of the fire is easy to attract wild beasts, so don't rush to light it for the time being." When patrolling, they should also be quiet, try not to make a sound, and each of them should hold their spears and be on guard, and then light torches when a wild beast really comes. ”
Seeing that what Yu Xin said was reasonable, everyone was convinced of him in their hearts, so naturally they had no objections, and each put away their torches.
Yu Xin nodded, relieved in his heart. I thought it would take a lot of talk, but I didn't expect it to be quite obedient to the command.
After leading people to inspect the surrounding area of the village several times and not finding anything abnormal, Yu Xin was also a little tired, and led everyone to sit at the entrance of the village to rest.
Just when everyone thought that nothing would happen tonight, their spirits relaxed. Suddenly, there was a crawling sound in the small forest near the entrance of the village.
Yu Xin's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Everyone, pay attention! Something is approaching. ”
In fact, there is no need to remind that everyone has been tested by the beast tide for a long time, and they have already been on guard.
Yu Xin lit the torch and looked forward, only to see that in the grass from the grove to the entrance of the village, it was pitch black, and there were no wild beasts, but the sound was getting closer and louder.
Yu Xin was surprised in his heart, and even tightened his heartstrings, and threw the torch in the direction where the sound came, and suddenly there was a boiling sound on the grass.
"Ahh It's a crocodile! A school of crocodiles! Some villagers shouted.
Without her reminding him, Yu Xin naturally knew this famous species thousands of years ago before the republican world, and he also knew a lot about the ferocity of crocodiles. At this moment, I saw a steady stream of crocodiles crawling out of the woods, all of them were more than two zhang long, some of them were nearly two zhang long, and the weight was probably more than 1,000 catties, and the number of sights alone was no less than dozens, listening to the movement in the woods, the total number may be quite amazing, I am afraid that there must be hundreds! That's already many times more than the third team.
"Quick, go and ask for the first team to come to support, go!" Yu Xin was numb, and he trembled and said to a villager behind him.
The situation was urgent, and the villager naturally did not dare to delay, so he spread his feet and rushed towards the village. At this time, it is natural not to shout loudly and cause panic.
After the initial panic, Yu Xin gradually calmed down, after all, this crocodile was not as terrifying as the rhinoceros, at most it was a little more numerous.
"This guy is also afraid of fire, so let's beat the torches first and try to slow them down. Rest assured, there is this trench in front of the fence, and they can't pose any threat to these short-legged guys. We just need to guard the entrance to the village. It's the only way they can get in. ”
The crocodiles slowly approached the entrance of the village and approached the firelight, and the beasts were strange, although they were afraid of fire, they longed for the light.
Yu Xin took the lead, standing at the forefront, clenching the iron gun that Gongsun lent him in his hand, the wooden stick was not used anymore, and it was easy for the thing to fly accidentally. As for why the iron spear was borrowed from Gongsun, it was really because there was only this expensive standard weapon from the army in the whole village.
"Everyone wait and pay attention to cooperation, don't be impulsive, wait for them to get close and then shoot and stab together, be careful of its big mouth and tail."
More than ten villagers stood in a row, and naturally sandwiched their hearts in the middle, blocking the entire village entrance.
The crocodiles' eyes glowed red, slowly getting closer and closer to the entrance of the village, during which some crocodiles fell into the trap pit, and were pierced by bamboo thorns, making a seeping scream. The voice was exceptionally clear in the empty night, and Yu Xin couldn't help but feel nervous.
But more crocodiles still wanted to gather at the entrance of the village, because they always had a hint of instinctive fear of the torches in everyone's hands. For a time, hundreds of crocodiles crowded at the entrance of the village, hesitating.
The crocodiles were densely packed and accumulated, many crocodiles were stepping on the bodies of their companions, crawling forward, and many crocodiles were squeezed down the trench and died tragically under the bamboo thorns. Seeing his companion die in front of him, he suddenly became agitated and restless, and his eyes were even more red, and he was no longer afraid of fire.
In a low roar, he slowly but surely approached the people at the entrance of the village. A big war is on the verge of breaking out.
