Chapter 237: Protective Preparations
Chapter 237: Protective Preparations
Under the command of Li Yue, hundreds of people were busy in an orderly manner, and after almost a day's work, this simple tree house was repaired, because there was no yard there, Li Yue beckoned the men to move over there, and the women and children lived in the yard here.
And the people of Li Yue's faction have been paying attention to the bottom of the mountain, and there seems to be no movement on the Xianbei side, and it seems that they have not yet hit Linzi County, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
Listening to the news brought back by Erzhu's cousin, Li Yue exhaled, the Xianbei army has not yet hit, so he has more time to prepare, although Li Yue feels that they (she) should be careful, the Xianbei soldiers should not find out that there will be people on Daliang Mountain, even if they know that there are people on Daliang Mountain, they will not easily come to Daliang Mountain, but just in case, it is still necessary to be fully prepared.
Li Yue, who had been busy all day, sat on the stone in the courtyard, rubbing her temples, thinking about what else she needed to prepare, and Zhao Erzhu on the side finally couldn't help but ask the question he had been curious to ask since yesterday, "Xiaoyue, why hasn't your father-in-law been missing?" Did he leave you alone? ”
Listening to Zhao Erzhu's words, Li Yue raised her head and glanced at Zhao Erzhu, and said in a simulated manner, "He has something to go out, not to leave us." ”
Zhao Erzhu looked at Li Yue's perfunctory appearance, it didn't seem like Li Yun had abandoned them, but he didn't seem to want to say more, sighed lightly in his heart, and finally didn't ask any more, no matter what, he and Xiaoyue were no longer possible. , and today's Xiaoyue is no longer the Xiaoyue he used to know.
Mature, calm, wise, and courageous, so that this man feels a little inferior in front of her, how can he be worthy of her, I am afraid that only a good-looking and mysterious man like Li Yun is worthy of her.
Thinking that if there is movement at night under the mountain, the mountain can also know about it, so there is no need to send someone to watch it at the bottom of the mountain, so Li Yue said, "Cousin, you don't need to send someone to watch the mountain at night, you go and let everyone come back to rest, I'll go over there and have a look." ”
Saying that, Li Yue got up and went to the small lake, outside according to Li Yue's requirements to dig traps and make traps, they would greet Li Yue warmly, after all, now Li Yue is basically their (her) food and clothing parents, since they came to the mountain, not only live in Li Yue's, but even eat, Li Yue did not let them go out by themselves, they all ate Li Yue's.
The reason why these people who stayed behind did not flee was because their families were really poor, or there was not enough food to eat, or the old, weak, sick and disabled had no way to flee, so they had no choice but to stay in the village, and of course there were a small number of people who simply did not want to leave.
Of course, Li Yue also knew the situation of these people, and when the food in the previous tun was separated, the fourth uncle was asked to help him come over, but it played a role at this time.
Of course, there are many of these people who are difficult to deal with and do not listen to the greeting, but at this moment of life and death, they can still listen to the greeting, seeing that it is rare for so many villagers to be so united, Li Yue, who was originally worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, after coming here, he has seen a lot of all kinds of superlatives, and Li Yue is inevitably worried.
From the mouths of the villagers, Li Yue also knew the news of Ming Dabao's family, and had already fled, while grandma and Liu went to the county sister-in-law's house, Li Yue never expected that this Liu family could be so persistent this time, and he had been sticking to his grandmother and not letting go, and he didn't even flee by himself when such a thing happened.
Li Yue didn't know, in fact, the Liu family came back when she couldn't stay in her mother's house, her mother's family was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she would definitely not have a good life if she went back, she had nothing alone, and she definitely couldn't escape by herself, of course, she could only try to please Mrs. Ming.
Li Yue went to the cave on the side of the small lake, and six or seven people in the cave were busy under the guidance of Lin Xiao and Zhang Langzhong, these people who were picked out were all good at iron, or some manual carpenter work, as long as Lin Xiao and Zhang Langzhong gave a little guidance, they would get started, but they were much stronger than when Lin Xiao and Zhang Langzhong first started.
With so many iron tools collected, Li Yue thought about what to do, greeted the busy crowd, and looked at their work, Li Yue stood beside a pile of iron tools and was stunned.
Zhang Langzhong looked at Li Yue standing aside in a daze, and asked with some concern, "But is there anything wrong?" ”
Li Yue came back to her senses from her thoughts, shook her head, and responded, "No, I'm thinking about these iron tools, what else can be used to fight." ”
Zhang Langzhong listened to Li Yue's words, nodded and responded, "Also, there are so many iron tools, it is a bit too much to melt into a bow and crossbow, and there is a problem to consider, even if so many bows and crossbows are made, few people will use them, even if they learn now, it is too late." ”
Li Yue also took this problem into consideration, even if everyone has a bow and crossbow, it is useless to use it, even if this bow and crossbow is used, it will be learned as soon as it is learned, but this quasi-head cannot be learned for a while, this requires a long time of practice, and now there is not so much time for them to practice, and it is a waste to make so many bows and crossbows.
Li Yue looked at the pile of iron tools and continued to be in a daze, Zhang Langzhong looked at Li Yue and fell into contemplation again, knowing that Li Yue must be thinking about how to use these iron tools, Zhang Langzhong didn't bother Li Yue anymore, and Li Yue was still in a daze there, busy himself.
After standing for a while, Li Yue had an idea in her heart, and said to Zhang Langzhong and Lin Xiao, "Don't fight these iron arrows after beating them, everyone is tired after a busy day, let's go back and rest after the fight, I'll go back first." ”
Zhang Langzhong estimated that Li Yue must have an idea in his heart, nodded towards Li Yue, and said, "Go ahead." ”
Lin Xiao on the side looked at Li Yue and frowned, and said, "Pay attention to your body, don't tire yourself down again." ”
Li Yue responded, "It's okay, I'm not busy with anything, at most, I'll guide you what to do." ”
Lin Xiao knew that he couldn't stop Li Yue, and it was impossible for Li Yue to listen to him to rest, so he had to instruct, "Remember to take the medicine given to you on time." ”
Li Yue stood at the entrance of the cave and waved her hand to Lin Xiao, and left the cave quickly, tribulus terrestris is not a particularly difficult thing to do, after Li Yue went back, she went to the laboratory, found out the paper and pen lying on the experimental table and drew it quickly, most of these Xianbei are cavalry, these tribulus terrestris are paved on the road up to Daliang Mountain, it can still play a certain preventive role.
Just stood there for so long, but Li Yue didn't just think of thistles to deal with cavalry, Li Yue casually drew by the way, he just thought of the throwing machine, the iron chariot.
As soon as the painting was finished, Xiao Yang came in sullenly, and stood next to Li Yue without speaking, Li Yue looked at Xiao Yang suspiciously, picked Xiao Yang up and sat in his arms, and asked, "What's wrong?" So upset? ”
Xiaoyang listened to her sister's words and said aggrievedly, "There are so many people I don't know, Xiaobai doesn't dare to go home." ”
Li Yue then remembered that she hadn't seen Xiaobai since yesterday, and she forgot about it when she was busy, so she asked Xiaoyang, "Do you know where Xiaobai is?" ”
Xiaoyang shook his head in disappointment, then looked at Li Yue expectantly and said, "I just heard Xiaobai's cry, sister, can you take me to Xiaobai?" ”
Li Yue looked up at the sky outside, then put down Xiao Yang, took Xiao Yang's hand and stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go and see where Xiao Bai went." Li Yue also thought, if Xiaobai is there, it will be really dangerous when the time comes, and he can still leave a hand behind and let Xiaobai summon a group of wolves, what if this Xiaobai suddenly runs away.
When I went out of the laboratory, I saw the children playing in the yard, playing noisily and happily, innocent and innocent children, who did not know the dangers they were facing now, were still so carefree, because many friends got together to play and were happy.
And the children who are a little older and have begun to understand have already gone out to do things with adults.
The elderly, who were too old to work, or who were not in good health, sat in the courtyard in twos and threes, looking at the children and talking.
Outside the courtyard, people gathered together in twos and threes were busy making thorny rejection horses according to the method instructed by Li Yue, and many people were assigned by Li Yue to dig traps in those places that were easy to go up the mountain.
It is about the lives of themselves and their families, and they don't need Li Yue's supervision or anything, everyone is very diligent and busy, just hoping that through these arrangements, if the Xianbei barbarians come, they can resist the attack of the Xianbei barbarians and save their own and their families' lives.
Xu Jinniang, who was cooking in the house over there, was carrying a wooden bucket out to pour water, and happened to meet Li Yue pulling Xiaoyang, who was about to go out outside the yard, and asked casually, "It's getting dark, where are you going?" ”
Xiaoyang listened to his mother's question, and answered honestly, "Let's go find Xiaobai." ”
When Xu Jinniang heard Xiaoyang's words, she frowned and scolded lightly, "It's going to be dark, what if you go out and encounter danger, Xiaobai will come back in a while." ”
Li Yue replied as she continued to walk outside, "It's okay, let's not go far, Xiaobai should be nearby." ”
Outside the courtyard, Li Yue walked past a few people who were rejecting horses, and said to them, "It's getting dark, please run and let those who dig traps on the mountain come back, be careful on the road, don't fall into the trap yourself." ”
Those people listened to Li Yue's instructions, clicked and answered, and then left the work in their hands and went out, Li Yue then pulled Xiaoyang and went to the direction of the back mountain.
The two had just walked not far before Yi'er, who was originally helping to cook in the kitchen, chased after her and said, "Aunt Xu is not at ease, so let me follow." ”
The three of them walked in together, Xiao Yang shouted "Xiao Bai" from time to time, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Bai came out, rubbed Xiao Yang, who was shorter than himself, and went to rub Li Yue, and then turned around and walked forward, turned around and wagged his tail at a few people.
Li Yue understood that Xiaobai wanted to follow it by herself, so she picked up Xiaoyang and took Yi'er to follow Xiaobai.
