Gu Changming looked at the little phoenix approvingly, and he was really more capable than he expected. I deliberately left people behind just now, because I felt that in such a situation, the young woman should be able to appropriately ease the atmosphere and reconcile her emotions. I didn't expect the little phoenix to do so well, not only to soothe people's hearts, but also to boost morale. Seeing that the third ditch has started again.
"Lend him the horse that had been driven and let him ride away. If you can, it's best to be able to find help. Gu Changming smiled at the little phoenix and said, "You go back to the house, the three of you don't have to hold up during the day, and you can remember to change shifts." ”
"Okay, let Suna sleep first." The little phoenix was neat and neat, without the slightest drag of mud and water, "Then I'll take someone over to lead the horse." I'll come back and bring you food. ”
Dai Guozi was so tired that he raised his head and yawned: "Don't really say it, the more times like this, the more capable and energetic you are." ”
Gu Changming patted him on the shoulder twice: "There are still people here, you can also find a place to sleep, and come back to change me." ”
Dai Guozi received this gracious word, and ran away with a rolling belt, shouting as he ran: "At most two hours, I will be awake." ”
"There's no hurry." Gu Changming traveled for a week and roughly distributed the labor force again. When the third ditch appeared, the rescuers who had gone out to carry them came back, saying that they had invited twelve or thirteen strong laborers, and promised to tide over the difficulties together, and then they arrived.
Fang Laoqi had a full meal, and hurriedly ran to Gu Changming's side after his stunned glare: "The three ditches have been completed, and all the oil that can be collected in the village has been used. There are eleven of all the traps combined, and two of them are old and are still being repaired. ”
"Very good, find an experienced hunter to choose a good position, and arrange all the traps." Gu Changming also asked a few young women with strong hands to sharpen one end with bamboo sticks, more than two feet, and there were fifty or sixty pieces of patchwork, "These are used in conjunction with animal clips, and Orion can understand them at a glance." ”
"Childe, who the hell are you?" Fang Laoqi finally couldn't help but ask, these people were dressed in noble clothes, and at first glance, they seemed to be the sons and daughters of rich and noble families going out to play. However, the strength shown by Gu Changming is already very amazing. "You are the ...... of the government"
"Ordinary people like you." Gu Changming didn't wait for him to finish stammering, and answered, "But it just so happens that what you have learned is more extensive, and most of it is also half-baked work, and it is not worth it." ”
"Childe, if you say that, we are really ashamed to die." Fang Laoqi clenched his back molars, obviously misunderstood, thinking that it was inconvenient for Gu Changming to reveal his true identity, "Then let me ask one more question, when will the son see the wolves arrive?" ”
Gu Changming beckoned the man who rode out in front of him and asked a few words seemingly casually. The man looked dazed, but still answered honestly. Gu Changming's face became more and more heavy: "The signs you saw show that the wolves are indeed prepared, and even sent an outpost to investigate the location of the village. ”
Fang Laoqi was completely dumbfounded: "This, isn't this a wolf, and it's not a human, how can you still investigate!" ”
"That is the role that the mother who took away the little four played in the wolf pack. The brains of the wolves are much better than those of ordinary wolves, and they can raise an embarrassment that will not attack and will only waste rations, and such wolves are often more cunning and fierce. We should be glad that the female is temporarily separated, otherwise the precautions put in place by the village would probably not be effective if it was in it. Gu Changming saw Dai Guozi come out of nowhere, and he looked like he hadn't woken up, which was really rare.
"It's not been two hours, is it?" Dai Guozi wanted to look at the daylight to judge the time, and found that the sky was covered with thick clouds, and it was gloomy.
"It's almost the same, then you take care of here, and everything you need to do is arranged." After all, Gu Changming is not an iron body, and what is waiting for him will inevitably be another vicious battle, and it is very important to maintain physical strength.
"So what am I going to do?" Dai Guozi grabbed his hair, and there was a strand that was always on the outside, and he couldn't press it.
"If there is a sudden incident, such as someone who doesn't want to continue working, you have to calm it down, and this negative emotion can easily spread. It is also said that more than a dozen people will come from other villages, and let Fang Laoqi go out to pick up people, so as not to step on the trap by mistake. Gu Changming thought about it seriously, "I'll sleep for one hour at most." ”
"You'll be able to sleep for two hours, too." Dai Guozi was afraid of wronging him.
"I can't sleep, I still want to eat a full meal and cheer up." Gu Changming never panicked, he smiled slightly and walked towards the village. Countless pairs of eyes were watching along the way, even if there was a trace of panic from the corners of his eyes and mouth, it would be magnified several times, or even dozens of times.
However, no one could find a flaw in Gu Changming, even if a child from someone who didn't know who ran in front of him, tripped and almost fell face down to the ground. Gu Changming's eyes and hands were quick, and he instantly grabbed the child's back waist clothes, shook his wrist, put the person in place, and dusted the soil from the corner of the clothes for the person: "Run slowly, it's safe here." ”
The children didn't understand what it meant, but the adults did. Gu Changming will definitely not expose this as a temptation, just as the wolves are also tempting, they, outsiders, have become the most untrusted middle-layer.
When he returned to Fang Laoqi's house, the little phoenix was obviously in the back room, as if he could distinguish Gu Changming from the low and inaudible footsteps, hurriedly put down the things in his hand, turned around and ran out to meet him.
Gu Changming's gaze fell on her concern: "I'll also come back to be lazy." ”
"Su Na is still sleeping, and Miss Liu has already gotten up to help in the stove room of Lao Qi's family." Little Phoenix was busy reporting the progress here, "There are still many little daughters-in-law and eldest aunts in the stove room, there are a total of eleven adult women, seven old people, and nine children. The youngest is three years old, and the oldest is eleven. ”
"When it gets dark, tie the gate of the courtyard and go back to the house, and don't light the lights. The door is pressed against the table and chairs, and the window is also operated, so don't be too crowded tonight, at most divide into two or three dials, and take care of each other. Even if it's dawn, there is no one outside to give you an accurate safety signal, and you are not allowed to open the door or window. Gu Changming seemed to be weighing what he was going to say next, "That is to say, after dark, even if someone asks for help and says they want to enter the house, you are not allowed to open the door." ”
Little Phoenix kept nodding her head when she listened to the first few words. In the end, he was stunned, and he didn't dare to delay Gu Changming's time longer, knowing that the time for him to come back to rest was really limited: "Someone wants to hide in to save his life, and we ignore it?" ”
"Yes, you can't open the door. Because you don't know if the consequences of opening the door are to take more lives. Before it gets dark, I will mobilize again, and if I am willing to believe, I will do everything I can to protect. If you don't want to believe it, don't force it, everyone has their own ambitions, and try their best to keep the loss to a minimum, which is what we can do. Gu Changming saw the little phoenix's reaction, for fear that a few of them would not be able to harden their hearts when the time came, "What you just said, eleven, seven, nine, plus three of you." I want to come back and see thirty people who are all right, understand? ”
Little Phoenix's shoulders shook, gritted his teeth and said, "Understood." Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of him, but it was Gu Changming who lowered his head.
The distance between the two instantly became very close, and Gu Changming's warm breath lingered in her ears: "Among the three people, the person I believe in the most is you." ”
Little Phoenix's heartbeat seemed to pause in an instant, she adapted quickly, although her back stiffened because of Gu Changming's closeness, it didn't hinder her ability to quickly analyze the problem: "What if I can't stop them?" ”
"Liu Zhuxue will help you, but she will be more soft-hearted than others, you have to grasp the balance and tell her the pros and cons." Gu Changming squinted and saw the white jade-like auricles in front of him, because he was dyed with powder, his heart moved lightly, and his laughter was sultry, "Don't hold your breath, what I said is all good things." ”
"I don't sound like that." The little phoenix thought he was very careful, how could he still be found holding his breath, this person really couldn't hide anything from his eyes and ears, "They are all pampered flowers in the greenhouse, and I am the female snitch of Qikunmen." ”
"The female snitch is also very good." Gu Changming straightened up again, very satisfied that Xiao Phoenix's entire face turned red because of this sentence, "Very good in my eyes." ”
Without waiting for the little phoenix to continue to be awkward, Gu Chang asked in a clear voice, where is it suitable for him to lie down?
The children of the Fang family immediately came over and took him to the smallest room, Gu Changming pushed open the door and saw that it was the cleanest and relatively quiet inside. He closed the door and lay down in his kimono to put himself into a deep sleep as quickly as possible.
Outside, Liu Zhuxue came out of the stove room: "Did Brother Gu come back just now?" The man walked up to the little phoenix, sighed and asked, "Are you uncomfortable somewhat, why are you blushing like this?" ”
"There was no discomfort. Just now, Gu Gongzi gave me some tasks, I feel that my ability is meager, for fear of living up to his trust, I want to discuss with you. "Little Phoenix was in front of others and quickly returned to normal. Probably someone is the nemesis of hits, even if he shouts at himself many times in his heart, he must treat him like an ordinary person, don't let him see through it, it is still fruitless.
The more I care, the more I am at a loss.
Little Phoenix's face quickly returned to normal, and she conveyed the words that Gu Changming said to her to Liu Zhuxue as they were. Liu Zhuxue was more optimistic than she thought: "I heard that there are more and more men in the village who are willing to come out to help, maybe before dark, all the old and weak women and children who can be sent here will be here." No one outside will come knocking on the door and shouting for help, and those men will definitely fight to the end in order to protect the village and their homes. ”
This answer was obviously unexpected by Little Phoenix, why didn't she think much about such a good aspect, but instead calculated how many people would be lost.
Gu Changming probably saw through the difference in the personalities of the two people a long time ago, so he arranged for them to complement each other, no matter from which point of view, the effect of the two people discussing together is much better.
"Then Brother Gu is resting here?" Liu Zhuxue wiped her hands, her composure was far greater than that of Little Phoenix, "Go back and prepare more delicious food for him, it will definitely be very expensive tonight." He had already set the time for the wolves to sneak up on the village, and he just didn't say anything. ”
