Chapter 63: The whole village is on alert
In the solemn ancestral hall, the space is very spacious, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the ancestors of the Li family are enshrined above, and the refreshing sandalwood rises and fills the entire hall.
There are six oil lamps placed on both sides of the hall, the flames are burning, making a sizzling sound, and the whole ancestral hall can be heard falling needles, and there is a dead silence.
"There's a big event happening in the Purple Sands Islands recently, everyone knows it. Li Longshan swept over everyone with a solemn face, and said with a majestic face.
One of the gray-bearded old men said, "Long Shan, are you talking about pirate fighting?"
"Yes, it does. This incident caused a lot of uproar, all caused by Nine Wolf Island and Poison Dragon Island, which shook the entire Zisha Islands, according to the latest news obtained by the old man, the reason why Nine Wolf Island and Poison Dragon Island had a fight was because the big boss of Nine Wolf Island suddenly died. Li Longshan said slowly, everyone listened silently, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Hearing this bombshell news, many clansmen showed shocked expressions, and they exchanged their heads one by one, discussing one after another.
This news, for the ordinary people living in the Zisha Islands, is tantamount to throwing a boulder and setting off huge waves.
"How could the big boss of Nine Wolf Island suddenly die violently, it's very strange!"
"Yes, yes, the pirates of Nine Wolf Island won't suspect that the people of Poison Dragon Island did it, right?"
"If so, it's troublesome. ”
"Quiet. Li Longshan's majestic voice sounded, and the originally noisy ancestral hall quickly quieted down, and turned to look at the patriarch one by one.
"I'm afraid that many people have already guessed that after the big boss of Nine Wolf Island died violently, those of them will definitely suspect that this matter was done by Poison Dragon Island. ”
"Because in the waters of the Purple Sand Islands, only the pirates of Poison Dragon Island have the purpose and strength to do this kind of thing. ”
"The common people around are afraid to avoid it, and who will risk the extermination of the pirate to offend those pirates, unless the brain is broken. ”
"The idea of Poison Dragon Island wanting to destroy Nine Wolf Island is not a day or two, and the two sides are originally hostile. “
"And this time, the big boss of Nine Wolf Island died violently, I am afraid that it will become the fuse that triggers the two major pirate forces. ”
Li Yunfeng interjected: "The pirates are killing each other, and the only way for us civilians to do is to stand by and watch coldly, and don't interfere without permission." ”
"Well, Yun Feng is right, these ruthless pirates can do anything for the sake of profit. ”
"The old man is afraid that when the time comes, after these pirates break out, the entire Zisha Islands will be completely chaotic, and some pirates will plunder everywhere without the constraints of the organization. Li Longshan nodded and said with a solemn face.
His idea is exactly what everyone is worried about.
The pirates who roam the sea, which one is not ruthless, bloodthirsty and brutal.
The two groups of pirates clashed, and the unlucky ones could only be the common people living nearby.
What else can ordinary people do besides fishing and hunting?
If some pirates leave their nest and take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and plunder, who can control it?
Everybody's worried about that.
Although the Purple Sand Islands belong to the Senluo Sea, they are not protected by the Purple Mansion, and almost all the villages have been under the oppression of the pirate forces, surviving for a long time.
This time, the two groups of pirates fought so wildly, which was definitely a big event that caused a sensation in the Zisha Islands.
But once it spreads, it will be these unarmed civilians who will suffer.
Why?
Because it's out of order, who still abides by the rules that were set before.
To try to obey the pirate is to believe in the evil.
A strong man in black with a stubble on his face said with some concern: "Patriarch, what do you say, we all support your decision." ”
"Yes, Patriarch, what do you say?"
"We're fighting the pirates. ”
"Don't be afraid of them. ”
In the ancestral hall, everyone was excited, and the atmosphere was hot.
"Silence, listen to me. Li Longshan said with a majestic expression.
"From today onwards, all clansmen are not allowed to go out, and the vigilance has been raised to the highest level until this time the pirate forces are fighting. ”
Li Yunfeng was solely responsible for the safety of the village, with the women all taking care of their children, and the men wearing leather armor and weapons, all on duty around the village fence. ”
"Immediately set up all kinds of obstacles to stop the pirates from raiding at night. ”
"If there is any trouble, immediately beat the gongs and drums to warn all the tribesmen. ”
"For the sake of the village, for the sake of our families, be ready to give your life at any time. ”
Li Longshan finished speaking in one breath, his old face was full of wrinkles, and he arranged everyone properly, with a look of looking at death as if he were at home.
Hearing the patriarch's last words, everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked, and cold sweat oozed from their foreheads, and the invisible pressure made everyone's hearts heavy.
This is a terrible crisis, these pirate forces have been entrenched in the Zisha Islands for so long, and they have always behaved and will not attack nearby villagers for no reason.
And now that the fight starts, it will definitely be completely chaotic.
They all want to kill their opponents to the death, and the family is dominant, sitting on the entire Zisha Islands, and becoming the emperor of the soil here.
Since it is a decisive battle, I don't know when I will die, who still cares about so many pirates, will definitely take advantage of the chaos to loot the nearby islands and vent fiercely, and the pirate leader also turns a blind eye to this, no matter how much restraint there is, it can be regarded as a reward for his subordinates.
One can imagine how bad the situation in the Zisha Islands is.
Seeing the solemn look on the patriarch's face, everyone became nervous, and their expressions were full of anxiety.
After all, it has been decades since the establishment of the village, and there have been many pirate fights and slaughtering villages near the Zisha Islands.
The older generation of clansmen remember very clearly those bloody scenes of rivers of blood and corpses all over the field.
They didn't want this to happen to Crescent Village again.
When Li Feng heard the patriarch's words, he showed an expressionless expression, but his mood was very heavy.
Pirates have always been the biggest threat to the common people, and as a result, the common people of the entire Zisha Islands have a hard time.
Under the arrangement of the patriarch, the whole village was quickly mobilized to carry out the operation.
The elderly, women, and children were not allowed to go out at will, so they cooked for the men in the village, except for the food that was enough for a month's daily life, and all the food and money were moved to a secret room in the cellar of the ancestral hall for storage.
The more than 400 strong men in the village are all wearing leather armor and holding broadswords, iron spears, harpoons, bows and arrows and other weapons waiting around the village fence.
In groups of five, they patrol the village in all four directions, keeping an eye on the wind and grass nearby.
The fence surrounding the village was also heightened and reinforced, wrapped with a large number of thorns and iron thorns, to prevent pirates from entering at night.
"Roar" "Roar"
Blood wolf dogs barked and roared in the night.
Five steps and one post, three steps and one sentry, heavily guarded.
The whole village was put under martial law at its highest level.
Even so, the mood of the clansmen was still a little uneasy, and their hearts were drumming.
