Chapter 1094: Sleepless Nights
That night, almost all the people in the city could not sleep peacefully, and all of them listened to the movement.
Since the county magistrate knocked on the door to tell everyone that the Mongolian people were outside, it must be true, if you go to sleep, I don't know what will happen tonight, maybe when I wake up, my family is gone, and the food and money at home have all been robbed, which is not what everyone wants to see.
Anyway, today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is to keep the New Year, so simply keep it all night.
Every household is in full swing to prepare, set up traps, take tools, as long as people dare to come, the head is a stick, knock a few to kill.
Anyway, these people are all coming in to grab things, so why bother giving them face, and they will come to the door for the New Year, don't blame them for being ruthless.
In the Gu family, everyone was worried about the situation of Wang Tianxiang and Yongqing, the two of them never woke up, although the wound was not bleeding, Dr. Chen also gave them medicine, and their faces gradually improved, but they were still unconscious, and it looked very scary.
Even Dr. Chen has been frowning, although he has always said that the two of them are not in danger of life, but he is afraid of what will happen to them due to excessive blood loss, if this saves his life, but leaves a lot of troubles, what can he do in the future? At this time, it is still time to put more thought into it.
On the other hand, we should pay attention to the movement outside, once the Mongolian people touch into the city, they will immediately send a signal to let the people get ready, for listening to the movement, of course, human beings are not as good as animals, Da Hei also knows that something important has happened, so it took Wangwang and a few children to guard the gate very conscientiously, the weather outside is so cold, they do not run into the house, they sit behind the door in a regular manner.
Siqi couldn't take care of them at this time, but the eldest girl saw that a few dogs were frozen, and took several mats with Dabao to put them on.
In the middle of the night, Da Hei suddenly made a vigilant sound, everyone was in Wang Tianxiang's house, Si Qi heard Da Hei's scream, and immediately raised his spirits, and hurriedly said, "Brother Tiankuo, someone should have entered the city." ”
Tiankuo nodded, Da Hei was very smart, knowing that this was a very critical moment, it would never make such a sound for no reason.
Tiankuo said, "You stay in the house, I'll go out and have a look first." ”
Siqi grabbed his hand, "I'm going with you too." ”
Tiankuo had to take her to the door with her, let her hide behind her, and whispered, "If someone comes here, you will always hide behind me, don't come out, you know?" ”
Siqi grabbed his arm tightly and nodded, how could she take care of those at this time, she was also very nervous, if there were many people coming, even if they made these preparations in advance, how useful would it be? In the final analysis, there are still soldiers and horses stationed, but there is no time to think about why the imperial court would withdraw all the soldiers and horses at such an urgent time.
Tiankuo had thought of a way before, wanting to let the soldiers and horses who were still stationed at the border disperse to various villages to protect the villagers, but where could he command those soldiers? Military orders are like mountains, they can't just listen to others, they can only rely on their own solutions.
Da Hei and Wang Wang both let out vigilant screams, and after a while, the voices of the two of them became quieter, and they lay on the ground gently, motionless, and looked out through the crack in the door.
Siqi saw that the hair on Da Hei's body exploded, and his heart was even more nervous, it seemed that those people were outside.
Tiankuo pulled Siqi into the courtyard, let her hide in the corner, and whispered, "I'll go up to the roof to see, you must not come out, sister, you listen to me, only if you are good, I can feel at ease, if you have something, I can't calm down." ”
Si Qi nodded, no matter how much there is, Tiankuo quickly climbed to the roof, looked down from above, did not look very carefully, those Mongolian people did not light torches after entering the city, this is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is no moon, how can you see clearly?
However, by the sound of the voice, I can roughly tell how many of them there are, Tiankuo leaned on the roof and looked at it for a while, only to feel that his mood was getting heavier and heavier, and there were really a lot of these people.
When he went to the city tower to look at it before, he roughly estimated that there were only a few dozen people, but now it seems that it is far more than that.
So many people arrived in Lu County, it seems to be premeditated, there should be more in the future, in the winter, Tiankuo's palms sweated, no matter what, this difficulty must be gritted and passed.
He got down from the roof and whispered, "There are a lot of people outside, and it must be impossible to fight when you go out, so you must close the door." ”
Siqi nodded, "Then can you put a signal now?" ”
Tiankuo thought for a moment, "Yes." ”
When I went to the door to inform the family before, I told all the families that as long as the Mongolian people entered the city, they would send a signal here, and each family should be prepared and not panic.
Tiankuo took out the fireworks he bought for the New Year, and put them on the table in the yard to prepare to light them, he was very nervous, once the fireworks were released, it was equivalent to telling the people of the city that the Mongolian people had entered the county seat, if everyone could really control themselves and not panic, it would be a good result, and everyone would come together to repel the enemy.
But if it backfires and makes everyone panic, then he doesn't know what this night's busy work is for.
Now it's time to burn his eyebrows, whether he's afraid of it or not, he has to make this decision now.
Tiankuo gritted his teeth and lit the fireworks, because there are two children at home, so the New Year is going to set off fireworks to see, and the fireworks bought are also the best one, put more on them, and the whole city can hear them, which is not difficult.
The fireworks rushed into the night sky, blooming with brilliant light, accompanied by a deafening sound, the fireworks have been released, the surrounding dogs all barked, for a while, there were many more sounds in the silent night, this night passed, Lu County is life or death, who knows?
When they heard the commotion, all the people cheered up and whispered to their own people in their homes, "The Mongols have entered the city, they have entered the city, and they have entered the city, so quickly close the door and put the trap down." ”
Every family is very busy, and they are afraid that because they have missed something, they will put the Mongolian people into their homes, and they have children and old people, and if they really let those barbarians who kill people like hemp and have no good intentions come in, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Since the court can't protect them, they have to rely on themselves to protect their families, no matter how scared they are, they have to stand up to the front, this is for the safety of the family.
