Lin Mei was not optimistic about Daddy Lin's proposal to stay in Poplar Village, Poplar Village is backed by Daqing Mountain, which is very suitable for hiding, but it is also suitable for Tartars to hide, Lin Mei told Daddy Lin her concerns, and suggested that for the safety of her own family and the people in the village, she hoped that the villagers could form a militia and patrol around the village in groups.

Father Lin thought that this suggestion was good, so he hurriedly went to Li Zheng's house, Li Zheng got the news that the town was attacked by Tartars, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and directly rang the gong to organize a meeting of the villagers to discuss the formation of a militia.

The villagers were scared when they got the news that the town had been attacked by the Tartars, but they didn't see it with their own eyes. It's not about hanging from a high position, this is the attitude of many villagers to this matter, when Li Zheng proposed to form a militia, most people disagreed, feeling that Yangshu Village had never encountered a Tartar, and Daddy Lin was a big deal.

In the end, the militia was not formed, and Father Lin returned home disappointed.

Shanzi comforted: "Dad, let's think about it, maybe we are jealous and worried, maybe the Tartar will run back early." ”

But Daddy Lin was not optimistic at all, and he couldn't help it, remembering that when the house was built, the cellar dug in the backyard was useless for a long time, and Daddy Lin almost forgot about it, and took everyone to open the cellar.

Only then did Lin Mei know that Father Lin still had a back hand, no wonder he was reluctant to leave.

But the cellar is not big, after all the grain, bacon and other food at home are hidden in the cellar, it can only accommodate four or five people, the Lin family of five, plus three people, a total of eight people, can not be hidden at all.

At this critical juncture of life and death, Father Lin solemnly arranged: "I just thought about it, the Tartar is likely to be hiding in the nearby mountains, but this day is cold, I am afraid that the Tartar will not be able to hide for two days, and I can't stand it and run down the mountain." This is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, from now on, every hour, our three old men take turns to guard the guard, if there is a suspicious situation, the aunt of the Xu family will take a few small ones to hide in the cellar, our three old men will take care of this family, and must not put a live tartar in. ”

Xu Rongsheng and Cao Dahu have no objection to such an arrangement. If it weren't for the Lin family, Xu Rongsheng might not have died or be disabled, and Cao Dahu would have been even more alone, and he would have put life and death out of the equation a long time ago.

In the next few days, Daddy Lin was not idle, he took the lead in teaching everyone to make arrows, Lin Mei also drew a crossbow diagram, which surprised Daddy Lin, and asked repeatedly, Lin Mei only said that she occasionally glanced at the book, and she looked at it more when she was curious, and forgot which book she read.

Frightened, Father Lin hurriedly burned it, and repeatedly told his sister and brother not to talk about it to outsiders again, this crossbow was originally a weapon forbidden by the imperial court for civilian use, and it could only be used in the army.

This dispelled Lin Mei's idea of making a crossbow, but unfortunately it aroused Shanzi's curiosity, and secretly wrote down the appearance of the crossbow and pondered it privately.

After a few days of nervous guarding, there was no news from the town, and everyone in the Lin family was about to relax.

On the night of the eighth day of the new year, Xu Rongsheng was on duty, and he wanted the cat to take a nap in the tree, but he vaguely heard footsteps, Xu Rongsheng looked around, and didn't see a figure, but the footsteps became louder and louder, and even Xiao Hei in the courtyard stood up vigilantly.

Xu Rongsheng hurriedly got off the tree, and according to the agreement, he called everyone up, and in the past few nights, Father Lin was afraid of lighting the lamp to recruit people. Directly instructed not to light the lamp, and it is best not to take off your clothes when sleeping, so that you can escape at any time.

Lin Mei was very alert these nights, and when she heard the knock on the door, she climbed up, woke up her two sisters and Xu Dangjia, and quietly ran to the backyard together.

Since opening the restaurant, Lin Mei felt that it was very convenient to wear Hufu, but it was a little cold to wear Hufu in winter, so she simply asked Xi'er to make a few sets of men's robes according to her body. On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she changed back into women's clothes, and after being frightened by the news of the Tatar sneak attack in the second year of junior high school, Lin Mei changed back to men's clothes, and dressed as a man, and deliberately drew her eyebrows thickly, standing with Shanzi, if you don't look carefully, there are really a few things like Shanzi's brother.

Lin Mei hid her sisters well, and she didn't worry about the others, so she turned back and got some soil in the ground and wiped it on her face.

Originally, Father Lin asked Shanzi to hide together, but Cao Dahu and Xu Rongsheng couldn't use bows and arrows, and Shanzi insisted on working with his father to protect his sisters. Father Lin couldn't persuade him, but he had to say in advance, if the other party couldn't hold it, let him hide, and he couldn't let the Lin family die.

Lin Mei took a bow and arrow and climbed up the ladder, looked around, saw that there was no movement, and whispered in Daddy Lin's ear, "Why is there no one?" ”

Only then did Daddy Lin find that Lin Mei was next to him, but Shanzi had climbed up the tree.

Father Lin anxiously whispered: "It is estimated that the spies who came just now are spies, you go and hide and don't come out." ”

At this moment, there was a firelight coming towards the Lin family not far from the direction of the mountain, and Father Lin didn't care about speaking, held his breath, and stared at the front with his bow and arrow.

When she was about to get closer, Lin Mei counted about twenty-three people, and there were twenty-three people in the Tartars, who walked past the Lin family's woods, Lin Mei nervously pulled the bow and arrow, as long as Daddy Lin's first arrow was shot, she would shoot at the person.

Cao Dahu and Xu Rongsheng each took a sickle and stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, and if anyone broke in, they would greet them.

Somehow, the Tartars and his party walked through the path on the left side of the Lin family and stopped at the door of Fang Laosan's house, and after a while, a scream came from the Fang family.

When the news of the Tartar sneak attack reached the village, the Gu family took their children to their parents' house, and Fang Laosan was the only one left at home alone in the family these days.

Lin Mei looked at Daddy Lin nervously, okay, obviously Daddy Lin didn't mean to meddle.

Lin Mei can understand, after all, it is more reasonable to sacrifice others than to sacrifice one's own family.

Immediately after that, Fang Laosan cried and shouted from the Fang family, and after a while, Fang Laosan pointed at the Lin family, and then led this group of people towards the Lin family, and Lin Mei was furious.

You don't have to think about it to know that in order to survive, Fang Laosan threw the Lin family out in exchange.

At a distance of ten meters from the Tartar family, Xiao Hei suddenly screamed, and Daddy Lin preemptively shot the leader of the Tartar.

At this time, the other Tartars reacted, thinking that it was a trap, and the angry Tartars slashed Fang Laosan with a knife.

There was a man with an eagle nose in the Tartar, pulled out his knife, shouted in Tartar language, and strode towards the Lin family.

Lin Mei gritted her teeth, pulled up her bow and arrow, and beckoned to the person.

Although Father Lin and Shanzi's arrows were fast, the distance was too short, and after shooting down seven or eight people, the remaining Tartars rushed over, and Cao Dahu and Xu Rongsheng stood against the gate of the courtyard to prevent the Tartars from breaking through.

Daddy Lin took the oil pot hanging on the ladder and threw it at the tartar, only to see Daddy Lin screaming Shanzi, but he didn't know that Shanzi threw the fire from there and threw it at the person

In an instant, the three people closest to the door were all on fire, and they let out terrifying screams, and the other frightened Tartars retreated one after another, and Father Lin and Shanzi took the opportunity to shoot and kill.

Father Lin infected Lin Mei with his might, aroused the bloody nature of survival in Lin Mei's heart, and was not as scared as before, so he pulled out his bow and arrows and carefully aimed at the tartar, and shot out one arrow after another.

The body of the Tartar fell one after another, and the Tartar standing at the end saw that something was wrong, so he turned around and ran, and Father Lin saw that the range was not enough, so he jumped down from the wall and chased after him.

Shanzi shouted "Dad" and quickly jumped from under the tree, ready to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin Mei.

Lin Mei was also worried about Daddy Lin, so she asked Cao Dahu to follow with Heizi.
