Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Second Barrier
Lei Jiang looked at the thoughtful Lei Xuezhi and said, "So, you follow Kai Hao honestly, he has a future, and he won't treat you badly." Otherwise, you have to suffer, do you know?"
Lei Xuezhi hurriedly hummed and said, "I know, Dad." ”
Lei Jiang looked at his son with sharp eyes and said, "Kai Hao is very smart, don't play with him." ”
Lei Xuezhi looked at the teacup in front of him and nodded, and snorted.
Li Ruo immediately said: "Okay, old man, go take a bath, you are busy all day, you have to take a good rest." ”
Shuikou Village was very quiet at night, and occasionally a few village dogs and pigs could be heard barking, and suddenly there were running footsteps in the street, and a huge figure was running, followed by a figure that was almost a head shorter than him.
Chen Meng had dinner together at Kai Xuan's house, and played with Xiao Xuan for a while, Kai Xuan said, "Da Meng, how about going for a run on the street?"
Chen Meng was full of food and had nowhere to go, so he was naturally happy, but he asked a little curiously: "Kai Lu, you don't seem to have run at night before." ”
"While running at night, we saw the defense of the whole village at night. If something goes wrong, we can tell the five-member elders. ”
Xiao Xuan said, "Brother, take me?"
Kai Hao said: "You are at home to protect your mother. ”
At night, Shuikou Village is dotted with stars, and the night scene of thousands of houses lit up by crystal lights is dazzling, although Chen Meng is huge, he is still agile, and Kai Lu is a little unable to keep up.
While looking at the environment on the street, Kai Hao said to Chen Meng in front of him: "Da Meng, you slow down, how can we look at the defense of the village when you run fast." ”
Chen Meng hurriedly slowed down again and ran side by side with Kai Hao and said, "Kai Hao, what do these winding streets have to do with our defense?"
"I think since it's defense, we might have to do the worst, and if a large number of bandits break through our first line of defense, then there will inevitably be street battles in the village. ”
Chen Meng said: "No matter what kind of battle, I can destroy them." ”
Kai Hao glanced at him and shook his head and said, "Da Meng, you are really hopeless." How many times have I told you, you can't take care of the scope of a village at the same time, and everyone in the village protection group must play a role. ”
Chen Meng smiled and said, "Anyway, I listen to you." I don't have to use those brains. ”
Kai Hao said: "You are not a fool, you are just too lazy to use your brain, your interest is on your physical interest." ”
Looking down on Shuikou Village from above, the huge ancestral hall and courtyard are in the middle of the area, and then thousands of houses of various sizes expand around the ancestral hall in a circle, forming a spider web between the streets through the roads separated by the houses.
If you hadn't lived and grown up in Shuikou Village, it would have been difficult for outsiders to figure out the direction of these large and small streets.
Kai Hao and Chen Meng were naturally familiar with the roads in the village and would not get lost with their eyes closed, but they usually did not notice whether the various facilities on the streets and sides of the streets could be used to fight the invasion of bandits.
The streets of the village in all directions were interrupted within the inner city walls.
The inner wall winds its way through the middle of the residential complex, about halfway up the ancestral hall to the edge of the residential area, along a street that is twice as wide as the other main streets, enclosing about half of the village's dwellings.
The height of the inner city wall is close to ten meters, and there are only two gates in the north and south, which just accommodate the main road in the north-south direction, so if you want to enter and exit the inner city, you can only pass through these two gates, which effectively restricts the intentional observation of outsiders in the inner city.
Kai Hao and Chen Meng ran to the north gate of the inner city, the city gate is usually guarded and set up barricades, but in order to facilitate entry and exit, it is not closed at night, and the guards on duty saw that the two of them were running, and greeted him and raised the fence to let them out of the inner city.
As soon as Kai Hao left the city gate, he immediately turned to the right and ran along the streets outside the inner city wall, Chen Meng ran side by side with him unhurriedly, looking very relaxed.
Kai Hao said: "Da Meng, do you think the inner city should be closed at night?"
Chen Meng ran close to the edge of the city wall, touching the cold surface of the city wall with his hand from time to time, thought for a moment and said, "If there are no special circumstances, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, right? The outer fence wall is very tightly guarded, and it is not easy for bad people to come in." ”
Kai Hao nodded and said, "As long as you make sufficient preparations in advance, even if there are a thousand bandits attacking, it will be difficult to get in." However, if some people are arranged to hide in the inner city in advance, it will be very troublesome when the time comes. ”
Chen Meng nodded and said, "Kai Hao, why is your brain so flexible." I really didn't expect that if you said that, it would be difficult to notice that there are so many streets in the inner city, scattered and hidden by dozens of people. ”
"So take precautions in advance. ”
Chen Meng said: "It seems to be difficult, there are quite a lot of dead spots between the houses. ”
Kai Hao nodded and said, "It's not easy, but I should be able to think of a useful way." ”
Chen Meng snorted and said, "You have a lot of ideas, there must be a way." ”
The two ran to the south gate and entered the inner city, and Chen Meng said, "Kai luxury, go back?"
Kai Hao greeted the guard guarding the door and said, "Are you tired?"
Chen Meng hurriedly shook his head and said, "How could I be, ask casually, then continue." ”
Kai Hao walked around to the ten steps on the side of the city wall, and said to the head of the guard, "Brother Han, can we run on the city wall?"
The head of the guard was about thirty years old, a kind man, named Han Damao, and said with a smile: "Kai luxury, others can't go up, you two can go up casually." ”
Kai Hao smiled and said, "Thanks, Da Meng, go up to the city wall and run." ”
Chen Meng's huge body jumped up the steps and ran towards the city wall, and Kai Hao ran up with him.
Kai Hao ran while looking at the battlements of the city wall and the village outside at night in Shuikou.
The two of them ran five laps on the road of the city wall, one after the other, and Kai Hao stopped and stood at a battlement and looked out.
Looking down at the inner city wall of Shuikou Village, in the light of the dotted houses, the streets of all sizes can be seen clearly, Kai Hao carefully observed those streets, Chen Meng stood beside him and said: "These streets are like a labyrinth." ”
Kai Hao gave him a thumbs up and said, "This large circle of housing outside the city walls is our second barrier. The labyrinth made it impossible for the intrusive bandits to approach the two entrances of the inner city wall for a short period of time, and we knew exactly what their attack was on the city wall. ”
Chen Meng's eyes lit up and said, "Kai Hao, you have come up with a new idea." ”
Kai Hao smiled and said, "Not yet." Your words inspired me. ”
Chen Meng smiled.
Kai Hao said, "How many laps can you run?"
Chen Meng moved his whole body and said, "Running another twenty laps is not necessarily very tiring. Don't look at me as a big man, I have a lot of stamina, and my uncle may not outrun me now. Would you like the two of us to try?"
