“…… Treading ...... Stomping ......"

The sound of horses' hooves of different frequencies was like thunder, and there was a momentum that crushed everything.

Seeing this scene, the honest young man ran back to the house with a pale face, picked up a hoe, and carried a hunting bow and quiver on his back.

Shouting into the house: "The bandits are coming, the child is here, hurry up and take the child to the village to inform the village chief!"

As soon as the words came out, the whole person rushed out like an arrow off the string.

And the young peasant woman who was greeted by the honest young man was also pale, but she did not hesitate to grab the dog and Zihao and run towards the village.

Although Zihao couldn't understand their words, judging from the demeanor and actions of the two, he also knew that there might have been some emergencies that he didn't know about.

So he didn't drop his chain, and let the young peasant woman drag him down into the village.

As she ran, the young peasant woman shouted to the houses by the roadside, "Come on, come on!" The bandits have attacked the village......"

At the same time, the honest young man also ran to an old tree at the entrance of the village, shaking the alarm bell hanging on the old tree fiercely.

"When...... While...... When ......"

Melodious and heavy bells roam the village.

And the village names who heard the bell also walked out of their homes with doubts and heaviness.

This bell can only be ringed when the village needs to face a very serious matter, and it is usually ringed by the village chief when the village makes a major decision and needs to call the villagers.

Whenever the bell rings, all the villagers will inevitably rush to the entrance of the village for a meeting unless they really can't get out.

Originally, some playful children also rang for no reason, but there is no doubt that they have been beaten by their parents, and since then no child dares to ring the bell for no reason.

Therefore, the credibility of this bell is still very high.

"Who rang the bell? The village chief is still here, and if any unlucky child rings the bell indiscriminately, you will have to let your parents open your ass. ”

In the center of the village, a house a little larger than ordinary people, a burly man in his forties walked out.

The big man's face was full of doubts, and he didn't forget to complain when he walked out of the room.

But listening to his words, this person should be the village chief of this Shanyang Village.

After walking out of the house, the village chief pressed the doubts in his heart and glanced at the entrance of the village.

After seeing the fluttering dust, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in my heart.

Like the village chief, many villagers also walked out scolding after hearing the bell.

Who let them all have their nap time disturbed? You know, they still have to do farm work in the afternoon, how can they do without rest?

"Xiao Zhou, isn't this the bell you rang?"

In a room next to the village chief, a half-hundred-year-old man walked out, and when he saw the village chief standing at the door, he asked with some confusion.

The people who came out around also looked at the village chief anxiously and suspiciously, hoping that he could give an explanation.

"Something's wrong!"

Village Chief Zhou spit out three words with a solemn expression.

At this moment, the voice of the young peasant woman came faintly.

Under the cover of the surrounding anxious sounds, most of them may not be able to hear it really, but some people with outstanding hearing may not fully understand it, but the words "bandits attack on the village" are really heard, including the village chief Zhou.

The faces of these people changed, but before they could say anything, Village Chief Zhou hurriedly ordered the people around him: "Hurry up, the young and strong will go back to me and copy all the guys, Brother Wang organized the old women, women and children to run from the back village and hide in the mountains." The bandits have attacked the village. ”

After the words fell, Village Chief Zhou took the lead and ran back to the house.

The villagers who heard this ran back to their houses in a panic like panicked birds.

The peaceful village exploded all at once.

The "Brother Wang", who was the half-hundred-year-old man who asked the village chief Zhou before, also returned home with a solemn expression, took a hunting bow and quiver, and walked out with his wife.

At this time, the surrounding villages have basically come out of their homes.

The young men were all armed with hoes, hunting bows, hatchets, axes, and other weapons.

As for the woman and the old man, they took some gold, silver, soft and rations, and went to the back village with a sad face, and under the leadership of the "Brother Wang" and his wife, they quickly walked to the back village.

At this time, the young peasant woman also came to the village chief with Goudan'er and Zihao.

And with her arrival, the roaring sound of horses' hooves became clear.

"Village Chief!"

The young peasant woman was pale and sweaty, panting and shouting to Village Chief Zhou.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, this bell was struck by your man, right? Did he tell you how many bandits were coming? ”

When Village Chief Zhou came to the young peasant woman, it was a matter of life and death, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he hurriedly supported her and asked hurriedly.

"No, I don't know."

The young peasant woman's face was pale, and she said with a sad face: "No...... I don't know. Brother Zhuang didn't have time to tell me, so he went out with a bow and arrows. ”

"What?"

Hearing this, the corners of Village Chief Zhou's mouth twitched, and he looked worried.

The "Brother Zhuang" in the mouth of this young peasant woman is named Zhou Zhuang, who is his nephew who is related by blood, and was entrusted to him to take care of by his younger brother before he died.

"Hoo ......"

With a deep breath, Village Chief Zhou calmed down, and he didn't care about worry and anxiety, and even the extra "beggar baby" didn't pay attention to it, and hurriedly said to the young peasant woman: "Run to the back village, follow Brother Wang and them to take refuge." ”

"Good!"

The young peasant woman wiped the sparkle from the corner of her eyes, nodded, and didn't rest, but after answering, she pulled Goudan'er and Zihao and threw them in the direction of the back village.

However, at this very moment, the dense sound of horses' hooves was already approaching.

More than a dozen arrows shot from mid-air.

"Woo Woo ......"

No sooner had the crowd noticed that the arrow had already fallen.

“…… Burst...... Poof......"

The muffled sound of arrows hitting the body sounded, and the dozen or so arrows directly hit five people, three of whom lost their lives, and their bodies were crushed to the ground.

And among these three people was the young peasant woman.

However, Goudaner and Zihao, because of the protection of the young peasant woman, were pulled in their arms in time and escaped with their lives, but they were caught off guard and were pressed to the ground by the young peasant woman's fallen body, and suffered a little bruises.

Zihao and Goudan, who were crushed to the ground, didn't know what was going on.

Just when the two of them looked confused, a few sad shouts rang out.

"The daughter-in-law of the Zhou family!"

"Pei Yuan!"

"Ou Ying!"

Village Chief Zhou shouted silently, and the others also shouted in grief for the other two villagers who died.

"Village chief? What do we do now? ”

A young man standing aside, unable to stand the death of his usually good brother, immediately his eyes were a little red, and he asked Village Chief Zhou with a face full of indignation.
