The Han family provided all the materials for arranging the barricades, not to mention, the Han family servants were far more effective than the Li family servants, Chen Ying only needed a little command, and they could immediately understand that most of the matters of setting up the first line of defense were completed by the Han family servants.

In comparison, the servants of the other families, especially the He family, were too useless.

The first important thing for the Huang family is to protect their sons, ignoring all of them, and the two rough envoys of the He family only guard the two sons, but it is that Mingxin, the Huang family specially sent her out to help, and the words were very polite, saying that "there are few people, only Mingxin can be sent by a few ladies and girls."

Guo Wan saw at a glance that this Mingxin identity was extraordinary, and she didn't dare to use it at all, for fear of offending He Juncheng by making a good mistake, so she had to let her do something that didn't matter, and the Han family still took on most of the work.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying turned her neck to look behind her, but saw that there were still many servants walking around in the open space, and most of the remaining subordinates had dull expressions, and only a few could still move freely.

"Miss Chen's words really make me ashamed." Guo Wan's soft voice sounded, pulling Chen Ying's thoughts back.

She turned her head to look, but saw Guo Wanmingyan's face with a sincere smile: "Miss Chen San is unparalleled in wisdom, and these thieves are not the girl's opponents at all." ”

Chen Ying gave her a quiet smile back and did not answer.

At this critical juncture, stabilizing the morale of the military is a top priority, and any actions or words that undermine morale are dangerous, including hypocritical expressions of modesty.

Therefore, she calmly accepted Guo Wan's praise.

"I've done everything the girl told me before, do you have any other arrangements now?" Guo Wan asked again at this time.

Chen Ying explained a few things to her before, and she handled them all according to the rules, without any discount, and her execution was quite strong.

"I'm okay here." Chen Ying shook her head and smiled, carefully observed the fire in front of her for a while, and said slowly: "Why don't you go back to eat first, I'm afraid this fire won't burn out for a while." ”

Autumn is already dry, although this line of weather is more humid than elsewhere, but it can not stand a lot of oil blessing, at this moment the intersection of more than 100 meters has been buried by the fire.

The enemy would never choose to attack at this time, which gave Chen Ying time to recuperate.

Guo Wanxiang also saw this, and agreed with Chen Ying's proposal, Ye Qing didn't say much, and the three of them left the last line of defense (that is, the third overturned carriage) and went to the belly of the mountain to eat.

The twilight gradually faded the last trace of afterglow, the night was soaked in ink, the dark blue sky was dotted with only a few stars, and a very faint lower quarter moon hooked a corner of the mountain on the west side, and the moonlight was shallow, almost nothing.

In the valley surrounded by mountains, a clearing had been cleared, and the trees had been cut down, the grass and gravel had been swept aside, and a bonfire had been lit in the clearing, illuminating the faces of blue and white.

Food and water have been distributed uniformly, and everyone has been given plenty of it.

Because they had planned to spend the night in Jilong Mountain, the Ni family and the others prepared a lot of food, plus the new force of the Han family, at least they should not be hungry for a few days.

The distribution of food was co-chaired by Ni, Li and Guo Wan.

These two noble ladies are much calmer at this time, in the end, they are also adults who have seen the wind and waves, and their emotions have recovered relatively quickly, and now they can help Guo Wan deal with some affairs, and the three of them have discussed and measured, and the efficiency is quite low.

In Chen Ying's view, with these three people in charge, there should be no problem with logistics.

She took a bite of the dry cake, which was covered with vegetables and meat, which tasted quite good, and the chicken soup in her hand was also delicious, and there was a chicken leg in the soup.

Being able to taste such a sumptuous meal on such a night is very satisfying.

She looked around, and saw that the campsite was divided into two parts by the curtain, one for one man and one for the other.

This was arranged by the Ni family and the Li family.

"You are still young, so you can't afford to be negligent in these things." When he said this, Ni's face was solemn, and his gaze deliberately swept over Li Xi and Chen Ying, with an earnest expression.

Men and women cannot be ignored, in Ni's opinion, even in the wilderness, these should be observed.

Chen Ying has no objection to this.

Changing perceptions doesn't happen overnight, and she doesn't want to impose her ideas on others.

In addition to being fenced by a tent curtain, the last intact truck of the Han family was also arranged by Guo Wan as a clean room for the hostesses.

"Although it is a matter of urgency, those who can be scrupulous should still be scruples, so as not to gossip afterwards." While doing this, Guo Wan explained to Chen Ying like this.

The Han family also has two girls who have not yet left the cabinet, and she, as a cousin, naturally has to think more about them.

This is the era in which Chen Ying lives, as a woman, she must not make the slightest mistake, even if she is in life and death, she must firmly abide by these rules, otherwise she will never recover.

Chen Ying couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, so she hurriedly finished dinner and came to the intersection to inspect again.

The wind gradually grew stronger, and the fire in the mountain path was still burning, but the fire was already smaller, as if it was swallowed up by the night that filled the sky and the ground.

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

She was actually very worried about starting a wildfire, after all, she still has a modern human mindset in her bones, and always thinks that destroying forests is a serious crime.

Fortunately, the weather on this line was humid all year round, and except for the part of the cliff and ground that was burned by the fire, the rest of the place was not affected much.

But even so, between the first line of defense and the second line of defense, Ma Laosan and Ye Qing still cleared a section of isolation and spread inward with fire prevention.

It's just that now it seems that this arrangement is redundant, today is the west wind, Chen Ying and they are in the upper wind, even if they cause a mountain fire, they are not the most seriously damaged.

Chen Ying thought with half regret and half relief, walked slowly to the last barricade, and stood at the back of the carriage to look out from afar.

Even though the fire was weakening, the scene at the entrance of the first line of heaven was still brightly illuminated. She saw two men in black standing around the intersection, apparently staying to watch the wind.

She turned her head and looked at Ye Qing on the side.

Ye Qing came over as soon as he finished eating, and at this time he was sitting on the stone, looking ahead from afar, as if he was in a trance.

"Do you think they're going to attack at night?" Chen Ying asked.

"It's hard to say." Ye Qing's answer was always so pragmatic.

Chen Ying sighed: "Raise the fire." As she spoke, she handed over the torch she had already held in her hand, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was as strange as ever: "Excuse me." ”
