Chapter 63: Something to Do
Yu Xiaohuan looked at Wu Niang's heroic back in the distance, and felt that she should do something, instead of just hiding in the bushes and waiting for Wu Niang to return victoriously.
However, she has lived for twenty or thirty years, and she has never done anything bad, and she is really embarrassed to come up with some bad ideas to deal with others at this time, and her brain is like dead, and she has no clue.
Since she didn't have an idea, she could only think about the ideas she had seen. In the past, when watching TV dramas, most of them would use the strategy of attacking the west, drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and diverting the tiger from the mountain, but now that the tiger on the mountain is not there, there is no need to bother to transfer the tiger away from the mountain; Sister Wu's ability doesn't need her to attack the west at all; They want to get rid of the bandits' den, and the ultimate goal is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.
Yu Xiaohuan was thoughtful, and then had an idea, and muttered alone: "Draw salary, then you have to light a fire first!" ”
So, she mustered up the courage and secretly walked in the direction of the few wisps of smoke.
The combat-ready bandits have been attracted by Wu Niang's vicious and vicious long whip, and in the courtyard where the fire is burning, there are only a few women left doing housework with wooden expressions.
When the woman saw Yu Xiaohuan suddenly appear, there was no expression of struggle or surprise or fear on her face, and she moved mechanically as always, doing the work in her hands.
Not far away, there was the sound of bandits and Wu Niang fighting. Listening to the voice, the battle situation seems to be not optimistic for the bandits. But the women remained indifferent, with no intention of going over to help or flee for their lives.
Yu Xiaohuan stared at the women for a long time, but she couldn't see a joy or sorrow on their faces. She tried to take a few steps forward, but no one stopped her. So she swaggered over to the stove, and looked back at everyone as if she didn't exist, until she stooped down and picked up a firewood from under the stove, and still no one raised their eyelids to look at her.
So she swaggered the torches and lit them in the various houses.
When she came back from lighting a fire, she found the women still boiling water and cooking in the yard, as if it was none of their business when the sky fell.
Yu Xiaohuan stood at the door and couldn't help but shout: "The house is burning, what are you cooking?" ”
The women finally stopped what they were doing and looked back at her, but they were all dazed, as if they didn't know what else to do but what was at hand.
Yu Xiaohuan looked up at the fire spreading from the house next door, the autumn was crisp, the weather was dry, and the fire seemed to be a little unexpectedly fierce...... She shouldn't have accidentally burned the whole mountain, right? Although she didn't know whether arson to the mountain was a crime in this era, after all, it was a living forest, and if it burned bald, it would destroy the ecological environment, and her conscience would not be able to get by.
"Well, if you really don't know what to do, you might as well disperse outside and keep an eye on the fire, don't let the fire spread and burn the forest." Yu Xiaohuan just said it so casually, but she didn't expect these women to really put down the tools in their hands and walk towards the door.
Finally, just as they were about to step out of the door, a woman turned back and asked, "What about this house?" ”
Hey, I didn't speak for a long time, and I thought you had your tongue cut off by bandits! Yu Xiaohuan muttered in his heart before replying: "The house, let it burn down, burn it to the ground, and then you can go down the mountain and go home." ”
After watching the women go out, Yu Xiaohuan Meng Ran found that she was still standing in the yard, what did she want to do, did she want to be charred or roasted?
The bandits who fought with Wu Niang saw that their lair was burned by the fire, and they were all in a hurry and wanted to put out the fire, but they were so entangled by Wu Niang that they couldn't get out, and they were so angry that the fire in their stomachs was fiercer than the burning of the house. With the help of this fury, they managed to win a few points.
After Yu Xiaohuan ran out of the yard, he looked back and saw that the raging fire had burned down the house, but his heart did not become relaxed. The wooden house was burned, but there was still a whole forest to make materials to rebuild many houses! It's always impossible for her to be ruthless enough to burn down the entire forest, so how can she stop these bandits from making a comeback?
I remember Wu Niang said that the reason why these bandits have been able to be arrogant here for many years is mainly because of the unique mountain terrain of this barrage mountain, if the natural barrier they rely on for survival is destroyed, then they will not be able to camp here?
Yu Xiaohuan thought in his heart that the people had rushed to the pass where the bandits were descending the mountain, and Wu Niang was fighting with several fierce bandits here.
Yu Xiaohuan thought to herself: It's not a way to fight like this, and when the bandits who went down the mountain come back, the two women will suffer. So he raised his throat and shouted at the bandits: "I said, brothers, you better stop fighting, and run for your life!" Your brothers who have come down the mountain have already been arrested by the officers and soldiers, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will come here with the officers and soldiers to arrest you, and then it will be too late for you to escape! ”
"Nonsense, be careful I smash your mouth!" One of the bandits shouted at Yu Xiaohuan. Although his tone was fierce, his uneasy eyes betrayed him.
"Alas, believe it or not!" Yu Xiaohuan sighed and said, "Today's bazaar is a trap for officers and soldiers, just to attract you to the past, so that you can catch them all." The two of us could see it clearly in the bazaar, so we thought about taking the lead of the officers and soldiers and coming here to move some belongings back, who knew that we would meet a few of you again! ”
"Then why did you set fire to our stockade?" Another bandit asked.
Since they asked like this, it means that they have some doubts about Yu Xiaohuan's story, of course Yu Xiaohuan can't miss such an opportunity, and immediately replied: "I'm not here to save my sister!" Brothers, you are very good at kung fu, but my sister is a woman after all, and she can't stand the siege of a few of you big men! How about we exchange? ”
"Swap?" The first bandit to speak said, "You are empty-handed, what can you exchange with us?" ”
"I'm wise!" Yu Xiaohuan said seriously, "I can give you a way to get rid of the golden cicada, so that you can escape the fate of being a bandit, in exchange, you don't beat me and my sister again." ”
Wu Niang frowned slightly, leaned over to Yu Xiaohuan and whispered, "It's more than enough for me to beat a few of them, why bother to give in?" ”
Yu Xiaohuan gave Wu Niang a look, and continued to say to the bandits: "If we continue to fight, it will not be good for us." ”
