Liu Jun was dragged home by Li Youwei with a blank face, took all the children and ran to the ancestral hall in the center of the village, closed the door and hid there.

More and more people hid in the ancestral hall, but all of them were old and weak women and children, and none of the adult men were seen, and a few old people with some strength, such as Li Qiye, held the fork and guarded the door, chatting calmly with another old man, while vigilantly paying attention to the movement outside the wall.

From their chat, Yoo Jun knew what was going on, and the thieves on the mountain had come down.

Bandit, what an unfamiliar name, Liu Jun had only seen it in martial arts novels before, but now he actually appeared alive and broke into the village?

Where did those grown men go? Stopping the bandits? Will there be dead people? A series of thoughts came to mind, making him want to go out and have a look, but he was a daughter, and he could only add chaos when he went out, so he could only endure it.

From time to time, there would be a noise and gongs in the distance, and the noise would stop for more than half an hour before someone came to inform that it was safe.

The old and weak women and children spontaneously gather in the grain field at the entrance of the village, where the village has made great efforts to pave the flat land with stone bricks, which is mainly used to dry the grain, and when the grain is not dried, it will become a place for everyone to gather for leisure and entertainment.

Before coming to the grain field, Liu Jun saw two corpses and three wounded, the corpses were also from the village, and they looked very familiar, but Liu Jun didn't know what they were called.

They were slashed from the neck with machetes, and the knife reached the chest and abdomen, and half of the body was cut open, which was very bloody.

Liu Jun was a surgeon in his previous life, and the general teacher of the autopsy himself couldn't count it, and there were more bloody and disgusting ones than this, so it didn't have much impact, but Li Youwei and the children were nauseous, vomiting, screaming, crying, and messing around, and the other women and children who came together were no exception.

Almost all the adult men who could not be seen in the ancestral hall were here, they were armed with weapons such as dung forks and sickles, their expressions were either sad and angry or timid, and they were talking fiercely around the village chief and the clan elders, and after listening to their discussions, Liu Jun understood what was happening.

I don't know which mountain came down more than 30 bandits wanted to sneak attack the village, but fortunately, the villagers reacted quickly, and only a few women who were originally enjoying the cool at the entrance of the village were caught.

The adult men of the village took up weapons to protect the village, and the two sides fought, and the villagers were killed and two were injured, and three were injured, and the bandits did not die.

But they seemed to have some scruples, and when they saw the fierce resistance of the villagers, they proposed to stop, and as long as they paid twenty stones of grain, they would withdraw, otherwise they would break the village and leave no chickens and dogs.

The villagers were scared and agreed to the conditions, and when the grain was handed over, someone asked to return the woman who was taken away first, but the thief laughed and interrupted, and asked if he was in a hurry and wanted to copy the knife and turn his face, but in the end, it didn't work, and the women who were taken away could not be released.

Everyone knows that thieves go down the mountain for food and women, and sometimes they don't even care too much about money, so it is impossible to put the woman back in their hands.

In the end, the men and the clan elders began to discuss what to do in the future, how to protect themselves if the thieves came again, but Liu Jun was too lazy to listen, because no one discussed how to rescue the captured women, including their relatives, at most, they cried there a few words, as if they had acquiesced to the result.

"I'm a woman now, and if I'm captured, who's going to save me? Is Li Youwei? This era is too dangerous, women are even more dangerous, they can't wait for others to save them, these men can't even save themselves, they must have the ability to protect themselves. Liu Jun muttered in his heart and secretly made up his mind.

……

At the gate of Liu Zhuang, when Ziqingshu crossed the threshold, he subconsciously glanced at the corner, and did not see the pungent figure, and he didn't know what psychology it was, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I want that kind of smooth tofu brain a little." ”

Liu Zhuang, who opened the door for him, was a little surprised, Tofu Brain was setting up a stall in the morning, why didn't the young master want to think about it until the afternoon in the morning?

But this is a rare and good opportunity to be courteous, the maid didn't think about it, and hurriedly said, "Does the young master want to eat?" I asked the old man to pay the amortization in the afternoon. ”

"Old man?" Zi Qingyun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Wasn't it a woman's stall before?" ”

"Oh, that's a widow in Lijia Village, it's not very good to show her face, and she has been an old man in charge of a stall recently." The maid should arrive.

"Widow?" Zi Qingshu muttered a secret thought in his heart, and suddenly, the two knights in strong suits galloped to a halt, and they saluted on horseback without getting off: "Childe, there are bandits attacking Lijia Village, please prepare immediately, and we will escort you to the county seat." ”

The knights in the power suit didn't mention fighting bandits at all, the enemy situation was unknown, this kind of move was too risky, but the most important thing was that they thought that the safety of Ziqingshu was far more important than a few villages, even if it was Liu Zhuang who was attacked, they would ensure Ziqingshu's safety first.

This is a reasonable arrangement, Ziqingshu was about to follow the proposal, but suddenly thought: "Lijia Village? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zi Qingshu ordered: "Gather people, put them on, let's go and have a look." ”

The two knights glanced at each other and gave the order together: "Obey!" So they went their separate ways.

It is important to ensure the safety of Ziqingshu, but the priority over safety is Childe's orders, and even if there is any doubt about the order, it will be carried out to the end.

Ziqingshu also ran back to the village, and when he appeared at the door again, he was already neatly draped, dressed in silver-white armor, heroic and extraordinary.

The sound of horses' hooves roared, and the whole Liu Zhuang trembled in this sound, and a team of people and horses turned into the main road in front of the village, with more than forty horses, including eighteen knights, one person with two horses, and several pack horses.

The knight was dressed in light armor and fully armed, and a set of heavy armor was hung on a spare horse, which would be worn if there was a need to attack the fortification. Such a cavalry team is enough to shock the ranks of hundreds of regular troops, and even if they encounter a large army, as long as they are not ambushed, they are sure to retreat.

This is also where their confidence lies in carrying out the orders of the Ziqing Book.

Ziqingshu jumped on the war horse, waved his hand, and the cavalry galloped out silently and in an orderly manner, leaving Liu Zhuang with a neat and shocking rumbling hooves.

It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves died away that many Liu Zhuang's faces poked their heads out with pale faces, which was the first time in many people's lives to feel the power of the cavalry.
