After everyone left, the old patriarch handed the hairpin back to Xiao Qi, and said to Xiao Qi earnestly: "Xiao Qi, from now on I will put the lives of the entire clan in your hands, you must help me protect them." ”

Xiao Qi suddenly felt a lot of pressure, "Patriarch Grandpa, I don't know if I can do it." ”

The old patriarch gently patted Xiao Qi's shoulder, "You must be able to." ”

As he spoke, the old patriarch picked up a book from the box again, "This book was left by our ancestors. ”

"Although I can't read, Xiaoyu read it to me, and the book says that there is a cave on our Phoenix Mountain that can accommodate 100 people, called Phoenix Cave, also known as the Eye of the Phoenix, where the ancestors of the clan once buried treasures."

Thinking of Xiaoyu, the old patriarch couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Liu Dahe handed Zhang a handkerchief to the old patriarch, "Old patriarch, don't be too sad, so that Xiaoyu can walk with peace of mind." ”

The old patriarch wiped away his tears, "Xiao Qi, you go to Phoenix Mountain to find it, after you find it, you can temporarily transfer the clansmen there, if you can't find it, you can leave Phoenix Town with the clansmen, and come back when the world is peaceful." ”

Xiao Qi nodded heavily, "Patriarch Grandpa, I will definitely find the Phoenix Eye." ”

At night, it was Xiao Qi's turn to take everyone to guard the village.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was tired and drowsy, the dogs in the village suddenly became manic, and the dogs barked one after another.

The people guarding the entrance of the village immediately became alert.

Xiao Qi has a more sensitive sense of hearing than others, and when he heard the sound from the ground, Xiao Qi guessed that there should be a lot of people coming.

So Xiao Qi went to investigate outside the village.

Xiao Qi's eyes are really powerful, not only can he see far away during the day, but he can also see things very clearly at night, like an owl.

She didn't walk long outside the village, when she saw a group of people coming in the middle of the night, looking at about a hundred people, all young men, and all of them were armed with weapons, Xiao Qi could smell the strong smell of blood on these people from a distance.

The man at the head was a man of five short statures, and he carried a long stick, which was slightly thinner than his arm, and the end was sharpened.

Xiao Qi quickly returned to the entrance of the village and said to everyone: "There is a large group of fierce and vicious people outside the village, all with weapons, and I see that the people who come are not good. Da Zhuang, you take two people to the village to pass the news to Old Man Hua and the others. ”

Da Zhuang heard Xiao Qi's words and took people to the village.

Soon the group came to the entrance of the village, and under the reflection of several lighting torches at the entrance of the village, the expressions on the faces of those people looked very vicious.

The man at the head sneered, "Yo, I didn't expect your broken village to be so vigilant, and there are still people guarding the village in the middle of the night." ”

He pointed the pointed end of the stick at the people of Liujia Village, "I don't embarrass you, I don't want the lives of the people in your village, just things." ”

Xiao Qi stood up and asked, "What do you want?" ”

The leader laughed, "Such a small girl has come to guard the village, it seems that there is no one in your village, and the master will give you a chance to hand over all the food and money in your village within half an hour." ”

Xiao Qi's voice was sonorous and powerful, "Don't think about it." ”

The crowd on the opposite side laughed when they heard Xiao Qi's words.

Xiao Qi took a dozen men in the village to stalemate with the enemy at the entrance of the village, and the old man Hua came over with the family's bow and arrow, and Hua Xi'er and Mrs. Zhao came together.

Hua Xi'er walked to Xiao Qi's side with two bows, "I heard that there are more than 100 enemies in total, Xiao Qi, there are more than 200 arrows in my family, which should be enough." ”

Xiao Qi was a little hesitant, "If so many people attack together and enter the village, it may still affect the villagers." ”

Hua Xi'er looked up at Xiao Qi, "Why are you so unconfident, with your ability alone, you are enough to defeat a hundred." ”

"I know you don't want to hurt the innocent, we can try to capture the thief and capture the king first, and subdue the one who takes the lead first, if it really can't be deterred, it's not too late to do it."

There are now less than 100 villagers left in Liujia Village, and most of them are elderly, weak, women and children.

In the middle of the night, many villagers heard that thieves were coming, and most of them reacted by packing their belongings and preparing to escape.

Old Man Hua stopped everyone, "Don't you see that those people are all carrying weapons?" If you want to go, you won't leave now, and if you go out now, you will definitely be looted by the homeless, and if you're lucky, you may be able to leave a life. ”

The stinky duck egg had a loud voice, and he was busy shouting to the old people and children in the village, "Don't stand here, everyone, if you want to live, hurry back to the village." ”

Old Man Hua walked to the fence and shouted to the thief, "I advise you to leave Liujia Village as soon as possible." ”

It is said to be a protective fence, but it is actually a row of wooden shelves.

The thief head looked up and laughed, "What a joke, you are still hard-mouthed when you are dying, you should beg the uncle to spare you from dying." ”

Xiao Qi stood up, "Why don't I fight with you first." ”

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he jumped in front of the thief leader with a whoosh, and the thief leader was taken aback and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Qi stood in front of the thief and shouted: "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance, it's too late for you to turn around and leave now." ”

Suddenly, a few people were pushed out, but it was a herd of cattle and sheep and a few young men.

Xiao Qi was taken aback, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”

The herd of cattle and sheep squatted on the ground and hugged their heads, "I, I was forced, they ransacked Niujia Village, forcing a few of us young and strong to join their team. ”

Xiao Qi hurriedly picked up the cattle and sheep and put them on the side of Liujia Village, and shouted to several other people from Niujia Village: "If you want to live, hurry to the other side." ”

On the opposite side, after the man at the head stepped back, a woman with five big and three thick stood up, "Don't be afraid, everyone, let's go together, starvation is death, it's better to fight, grab something to eat in order for us to live." ”

At the entrance of Liujia Village, only a row of wooden shelves was erected for protection, and more than 100 people from the other side rushed over, and they were about to rush to the wooden shelves.

Xiao Qi hurriedly retreated behind the wooden shelf, took the arrow in Hua Xi'er's hand, and fired five arrows at once, each of which hit the enemy's knee, and then continued to shoot arrows with a bow.

Hua Xi'er and Old Man Hua also assisted with bows, and soon most of the more than 100 people were hit by arrows, and the enemy fled in all directions.

The rotten duck egg shouted to the young man in the village, "Let's take ropes and tie up all the wounded enemies." ”

Everyone rushed to the beginning of the group tied with a rope around their waists, and soon found that the rope was not enough.

Stinky Duck Egg picked up the gong used for warning at the entrance of the village and struck it, "People who have ropes at home should quickly bring the ropes." ”

Soon someone came out with a rope.

Forty or fifty of them were tied up together, and the rest fled.

At this time, the sky was gradually bright, and everyone escorted the thief outside the ancestral hall for the old patriarch and the elders of the clan to deal with.

The old patriarch looked at the murderers with a look of embarrassment.

Mrs. Liu suggested: "If you leave these people, you have to prepare something for them to eat, since you don't want to kill people, let's let them go earlier." ”

Stinky Duck Dan and Xiao Qi were really tired after a busy night, so they escorted the thieves five miles away from the village and released the people.

The stinky duck eggs were so angry that they went up and kicked them several times.

Xiao Qi broke an arm-thick stick in front of the thief, and said to the thief: "If you dare to come to Liujia Village again, you will end up with this stick." ”

The thieves flinched and limped away.
