Chengcane Village is located in a relatively remote mountainous area north of Qinmu Kingdom, because few people come and it is remote, even if it is only two days away from the border of the Qin and Zhao wars. The villagers here in Thirty Miles did not choose to leave, from their ancestors to the present hundreds of years, this place has not been investigated by war, so they live a relatively comfortable life.

The village is not big, there are only about 100 people, the people in the village basically know each other, and there are many people who can call each other by name, the village has always been self-sufficient, and the tax officials of Daqin think that it is too far away and the taxes collected are small, so they don't come to this place.

In this war-torn era, this can be regarded as a pure land outside the world, without the invasion of war and the oppression of officials, the villagers live a relatively prosperous life, and they are very satisfied with this life, but this is only for most of the villagers.

Although the village is remote, it is still well-informed, and every month the village chief will send someone out to inquire about what is happening outside and come back to tell the people in the village. Although all the villages are relatively remote, they still have some understanding of the outside world.

Because the information is not closed, some young people in the village are desperate to see the outside world, so many young people go out one after another. There are those who come back with a disgraced face, and there are also those who return to their hometowns in fine clothes, and the best of them is the son of the Bai family, Bai Tong, which has led to more and more young people who want to go out, and they all take Bai Tong as an example and hope to have the same achievements as him.

Because Bai Tong joined the army and became an officer, the young people wanted to follow suit, and begged to come back last time Bai Tong taught a few sets of boxing techniques and weapon use methods.

Every morning these young people shout the trumpet. Punching. They hope to gain military merits, they hope that they can return to their hometown with honor like white copper, so they want to let the white copper who comes back next time take them to join the army, join the army where the white copper is, and join the army of Great Qin.

As always, every day as soon as the roosters crow and the sun climbs the eastern hills, the young people from the village set out in pairs towards the mountains.

As always, the young people who set out every day would watch a woman sitting in front of the door of the village, the only difference being the woman's belly that had been bulging over the past few months. She sat there and watched the young people leave.

People know that she actually wants to see people return, he is the wife of Bai Copper, waiting for his husband, she hopes that her husband will come back to watch his child be born in this world, she hopes that their child will be born to see her parents, so she looks forward here every day, hoping that her husband who is far away can feel her expectation and return to her.

"Sister-in-law of the Bai family, you are still waiting for Big Brother Bai here." The young men had come back from the hunt, and seeing what they had on their backs, they had a good harvest today, and one of the teenagers, about fifteen. At the age of six, he carried a pheasant with a trapped leg and placed it beside the woman, and continued, "Sister-in-law, you take this chicken, you need to make up for your body, and when Brother Bai left, he asked me to take care of you." Without waiting for the woman's reply, she ran away as fast as she could.

"Da Niu" just called out his name and looked at the child who ran away, and the woman was not screaming, this was not once or twice, he knew that her husband asked Da Niu to take care of himself was actually just a reason to let him not go out with his husband too early, but he didn't expect this child to take it seriously.

Glancing at the sun sinking halfway to the earth in the west, the woman slowly got up. It seems that he will not see anyone back today, but he will wait until their children come into this world.

"Sister-in-law of the Bai family, etc." There was a shout from behind her, and the woman turned around, it turned out to be Ergou, the son of the village chief, who was very strong.

"How did you get to the back? They've been back for a while. The woman asked, looking at Ergou, who was running over with an anxious face.

"We're going to chase a roe deer, this is not important, you go to the ancestral hall, I saw a lot of Zhao Jinguo people on the other side of the mountain, and the number of Zhao Jinguo can't be counted, they are holding flags, like an army, and they are coming in the direction of our village, I don't know what I want to do." I'll call the rest of the village first, then call my dad to see what to do, and I'll go first. The second dog said to the woman as he ran, gasping for breath as he spoke.

"What about the village chief." The whole village gathered in the ancestral hall to look at the village chief, and one of the villagers asked with a bad face.

"Ergou, can you see clearly, is it indeed Team Zhao?" The village chief did not answer the man's question, but turned to his son and asked.

"It's true. Dad, can I come back and talk nonsense about such a big thing without being sure! Ergou replied with an anxious face and a little grievance.

"Don't worry, everyone, although our village is not poor, it is not too rich, and the people of Zhao Jinguo will not come so far to rob us, maybe they are just passing by, but since they have entered the border of my Great Qin Country, it is not a good thing to come, in this way, Lu Quan, you can run the fastest You bring two days of dry food to inform the county guard, let them be careful, maybe Zhao Jinguo people are going to the county seat." The village chief pinched his beard and said to a tall and thin young man after pondering.

"No!" The tall and thin young man is Lu Quan, and after answering, he went to find dry food to prepare, which triggered him to go to the city guard.

"And you" The village chief said to the remaining villagers after watching Lu Quan go out: "If you want to escape, run away quickly, and if you don't leave, go back to your home and wait for Zhao Jinguo to come, if they want water, they will give water, and if they want food, they will not be unreasonable and indiscriminately kill us who are powerless and innocent."

"It's all gone!" After speaking, the village chief seemed to remember something, and then said: "Wait, if it is inconvenient to move, stay in the ancestral hall, pregnant women, the elderly and children, and Ergou will also leave a few younger people, remember to bring your weapons, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Zhao Jinguo goes crazy, let these people who can't run escape." ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he looked at Da Niu again: "Bring some food and drink and I will go to the entrance of the village to see if those Zhao Jinguo people really come to our village." ”

"Well, village chief, you wait for me at the entrance of the village first, I'll go find some food and wine, and I'll go to the entrance of the village to make peace with you in a while." After Da Niu finished speaking, he ran to the outside of the ancestral hall.

"Don't look at it, let's all go back." The village chief looked at the remaining villagers who had not left and said.

"Ergou, Dad handed over these old people, pregnant women and children to you, you have to take care of them, if you don't take care of them, I won't clean you up when I look back. I'll go to the entrance of the village first, and I'll tell Da Niu to inform you if there's any news, and you guys should pay more attention to it. The village chief finally instructed his son. After speaking, he hurried to the entrance of the village.
