On this day, Xi Jiang was learning martial arts with Tian Fengming, wanting to touch Tian Fengming's bottom.

A young man in the village ran back anxiously, and said breathlessly: "Uncle Fengming, it's not good, the barbarian is coming." ”

"The brute called? Don't rush to speak slowly. Tian Fengming's tone was calm, but his speed was still unconsciously faster.

"When we went out hunting today, we noticed some movement...... "The young man took a big breath, and then said, "When I looked over, it was a group of barbarian cavalry, about thirty people, resting in the woods, and it was all looted at once...... However, the situation in the village in front of them is not good, and they probably did not grab anything valuable. ”

Everyone present was a little flustered, and the impact of the barbarians on them was too deep. The arrival of the barbarians meant death for them.

"What can I do? The barbarians are fierce. ”

"Otherwise, run for your life!"

"But what if there is so much food at home?"

There are also people who are bolder, "What are you afraid of?" In the past two years, have you practiced martial arts in vain? ”

"As long as the brute dares to come, he will be beaten."

The young man who passed the message didn't panic, looked at Tian Fengming and asked, "Uncle Fengming, what should we do?" ”

"Qingming, you and Er Zhuang go and take a closer look at the movements of that team of barbarians." Tian Fengmin didn't hesitate, thought for a while, said, and turned to look at the reckless man beside him, "Huzi, you immediately take someone to report to a few nearby villages, if you meet a barbarian, avoid it, don't confront them head-on." ”

Then, looking at the people present, "Now everyone hurry home, put away the food and valuable things, and notify the people who didn't come." Then, assemble here. ”

With Tian Fengming's command, everyone suddenly had a backbone, and quickly went home and hid all the valuables in their own cellar.

……

Two quarters of an hour later, everyone in the village gathered in the open space in the center of the village.

Men, women and children all carry at least one half-meter-long wooden stick in their hands. The young people are even more handy, with a knife or iron farm tools, sickles, machetes, everything.

"In the past two years, our village has changed a lot, and many people have built big brick houses. If we run away today, everything will be ruined, and all our efforts in the past two years will be in vain, so we can't escape.

We are here in the pass, and there will definitely not be too many barbarian cavalry who can sneak in. Our more than 100 martial arts practitioners will not be worse than 30 or so barbarians. Tian Fengming said inspiring words unhurriedly.

In fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, he had seen barbarians when he was a child, but what he knew at such a young age, there was no way to assess how high the barbarian's force value was.

However, there are more than 100 of them, can't they be worth twenty or thirty barbarians?

And he has confidence in himself and in the Book of Heaven, and the things of the gods will definitely not be bad. Those barbarians don't know martial arts, at most they are physically stronger.

Subsequently, Tian Fengming took the people in the village and waited for him.

Soon, Yang Hu, who brought the news to others, came back, "Uncle, the words have been brought." They were also on guard. ”

Tian Fengming nodded, looked at the dirt road that was less than two meters wide and one meter wide into the village, and then looked at Xi Jiang beside him, his wife, mother and eldest daughter behind.

That's all he can do, the rest of the village is on their own, and now he has to stay with his family.

After a while, Tian Qingming came back with people.

"Brother, the barbarian soldiers divided into two roads, all the way to Qianjiazhuang in the west, and came all the way to us."

"How many of us are here?"

"Twelve, most of them went to Qianjiazhuang."

Qianjiazhuang is another nearby village group, because the nearby villages are relatively wealthy. Therefore, Zhuang alone is used to distinguish it from other villages.

Ikeda Village, Linjia Village, Wangjia Village, and three other nearby villages were merged into Ochi Township.

Qianjiazhuang belongs to another Shuize Township, but because of the relatively close distance, there are still some contacts between several villages.

Tian Fengming thought about it, there were only twelve people, which was not much.

"The young and strong are all stayed, and the women and children retreated to the village to protect themselves." Tian Fengming hurriedly arranged for everyone to hide, looked at Xi Jiang and said, "Xing'er, you also go to the village with you, Daddy may not be able to take care of you later." ”

"Daddy, I'll follow you! I'm amazing. "Xi Jiang wants to stay and protect Tian Fengming and the others. This fights, who knows if there will be an accident.

Tian Fengming frowned and sighed, "Okay! Then you stand far away and pay attention to yourself. If there's danger, don't hesitate. ”

Xi Jiang hurriedly raised the big wooden stick in his hand to his chest, with a very powerful expression.

Subsequently, Tian Fengming and the thirty or forty young men left behind guarded the entrance of the village.

When the barbarians came on horseback, they were surprised to see the people at the entrance of the village with sticks and iron tools.

It was the first time they had seen them, and they dared to face them, not ordinary people who ran away.

Xi Jiang was behind, and he caught a glimpse of the situation of the barbarian from the side.

The barbarians had two horses each, and the empty horses carried several bags of grain, but none of them were full, and it seemed that the villages in front of them were indeed very poor. The gaze moved to the right, and the barbarians were all tigers and bears, with strong bodies, and a savage aura of grassland arrogance came to their faces.

It is true that nomads are more armed than agrarian peoples.
