At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, after breakfast, Chen Xiao and others led everyone in the group to start a vigorous camp construction movement, and the area around the reservoir where they were located suddenly became a dusty construction site.

Although the roar of modern machines cannot be heard on this construction site, the shouts and slogans of the men are constantly ringing everywhere, a busy scene in full swing.

I saw that in the large open space on the side of the reservoir, at this time the figures were flashing around, all the personnel were very busy, among which there were some old and weak women and children, these figures not only had a clear division of labor, but also were organized, and they were very devoted to the work at hand.

Around the clearing, there were thirty or forty middle-aged men with strong figures, and I saw that they were vigorously wielding the wooden shovels in their hands, trying to smooth out the ground in front of them as much as possible, and behind them, a large piece of flat ground with a radius of several acres had appeared, although there were still some very unsightly unsociable meteorites standing everywhere on the ground, but most of the ground had already presented a sense of spacious and flat pictures.

On the acres of flat, spacious ground, a large group of middle-aged men with dark complexions were stacking various building materials in an orderly manner, including cement blocks, masonry blocks, sand and other materials, each of which was neatly arranged in a pile.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen strong men around the clearing who were transporting timber to the clearing, and after the timber was neatly arranged, they hurried into the distance again.

Around the clearing, there were still some old and weak women and children who were constantly transporting bricks, sand and gravel to the center of the clearing, they either carried them on their shoulders, or the two of them worked together to carry the luck, and some of the worn-out snakeskin bags and sacks were also fully used.

……

Such scenes have been playing out around the reservoir, and everywhere are the resolute faces with sweaty faces, and as the time gradually approached noon, they still did not hear their voices crying out tiredly and bitterly, on the contrary, their faces became more and more uplifted, and their eyes were full of hope and longing.

The main reason for this is that they have seen the fruits of their labor, and know that what they have done is worth it, and from the fiery eyes that they look into the center of the clearing from time to time, they can feel their uncomplaining at this time.

I saw that on the flat ground in the center of the clearing, there were already three rows of twenty-one houses rising from the ground, although they were all rough living rooms made of wood and cement masonry, but compared to the simple shacks that everyone lived in before, they were no different from luxury buildings, and it was no wonder that everyone showed a look of hope and excitement.

It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and when everyone was still sparing no effort to carry out the construction of the barracks, a sharp man's voice in the distance suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere on the construction site, and suddenly made the entire personnel on the construction site stop their work in disbelief, and looked at the person who spoke with a puzzled expression.

"Where's Leader Chen? I have an urgent need to see Leader Chen! Tell me where he is? ”

Chen Xiao was helping the production team at this time, repairing the houses that had been piled up, and when he heard this sudden sharp man's voice, he couldn't help but stand up with a puzzled face, and looked at this person with a serious expression.

I saw that the man looked to be about thirty-four or five years old, with thick eyebrows and a black face, and his figure was quite tall and athletic, and he was standing on the periphery of the construction site with a panicked face, looking out of breath.

After Chen Xiao saw this person's appearance clearly, he remembered that this person was Wu Dongsheng's subordinate before, and then he was assigned to the escort team by himself, and remembered that this person seemed to have followed Lin Hu to carry out a patrol mission this morning! Could it be that Lin Hu and the others encountered some accidents?

While Chen Xiao was puzzled in his heart, he asked silently on his face: "This big brother, why are you panicking?" Brother Lin Hu, where are they now? ”

The black-faced man with thick eyebrows, though he carried a bow and arrows and a spear, could not hide the anxiety on his face, and after he had hurried back to the clan station in high spirits, he exclaimed loudly and looked around.

When he found Chen Xiao on the roof and Guo Zirong in the crowd, he couldn't help but look happy, and when he heard Chen Xiao's inquiry again, he hurriedly reported in a calm voice: "Leader Chen, Captain Zirong, the patrol members of the escort team just clashed with the men and horses of other groups!" Captain Lin Hu and they are confronting the other party's personnel, I am afraid that the situation will expand, so I hurried back to inform everyone, what is the current situation, I don't know much about it! ”

After the black-faced and thick-eyebrow man finished his report in one breath, he couldn't help but gasp again, and his face was also flushed after running quickly.

"Hmmm! You're doing a great job! I have indeed carried out what I asked of you! How many people were there on the other side before? Where are the members of the convoy now? I'll take someone to pick them up right away! ”

After listening to this man's report, Chen Xiao first nodded with appreciation, and then asked with a serious face, with a posture of impatience.

"Leader Chen has received the award, this is what I should do, besides, Captain Lin Hu has made arrangements for me in advance, once the patrol team encounters a situation, let me come back and report immediately! There are as many as sixty or seventy people on the other side, but thirty or forty of them are slaves, and the patrol is currently on the Dingfeng River, which is about seven or eight miles away from the reservoir. ”

As soon as the black-faced and thick-eyebrow man heard Chen Xiao's words, he quickly explained with a humble face, with a posture of not daring to take credit, and then slowly answered Chen Xiao's question with a slight groan, and his tone was full of categorical taste.

"Oh? It seems that this Captain Lin is quite prescient! If the other party only has thirty or forty combatants, Lin Hu and the others will not suffer, I am afraid that the other party's reinforcements will rush there as soon as possible, okay, let's hurry up! ”

When Chen Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but praise Lin Hu with a smile, and then said his inference thoughtfully, and made a decision with a slightly worried expression.

"Got it, Brother Xiao! All the members of the escort team paid attention, immediately put down the work at hand, hurried to get their respective weapons and equipment, and in a minute they were assembled at my place, and those who were late will not be punished! ”

Guo Zirong, who was beside him, couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard Chen Xiao's decision, and then shouted at everyone on the construction site with a dignified expression, with a fierce posture, and there was a faint trace of the majesty of the commander in his tone.

A minute later, eighty middle-aged strong men with bows and arrows and spears on their backs, one stood in front of Guo Zirong in a non-landing line, with a well-trained military posture, and looked at Chen Xiao beside him is nodding again and again, with a look of appreciation.

It seems that it was really a wise move for him to hand over the escort team to Guo Zirong at the beginning, otherwise the team in front of him would definitely not be able to prohibit and act vigorously like now, and the entire escort team was full of Guo Zirong's arrogant and cold unyielding fighting spirit, which was murderous and piercing.

"Nice, no one was late! Fortune Wings! Lead the way, and let's meet the other brothers! ”

Seeing that the escort team had been assembled according to his own requirements, Guo Zirong nodded slowly, and then gave the order to set off with a cold and arrogant face, giving people an irresistible majesty.

"Yes! Captain Zirong! Come with me, brethren......"

After hearing Guo Zirong's order, Jin Peng, a man with a black face and thick eyebrows, hurriedly straightened his waist, and then greeted everyone with a serious face, and his figure rushed out first in a flash, with a bloody state of rising fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but nod at Guo Zirong with great meaning, and then chased towards Jin Peng with an arrow, and Guo Zirong on the side just shook his head with a smile when he sensed Chen Xiao's strange expression, and then hurriedly rushed towards the head of the team......

However, just after Chen Xiao and the others quickly marched forward for five or six miles, Jin Peng, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped running wildly, and looked ahead with a puzzled face.

"There is a situation! Be vigilant! ”

At the moment when Chen Xiao and the others just stopped, in a small forest with meteorites four or five hundred meters in front of everyone, a man's exclamation suddenly sounded, and the accent sounded a little familiar, but due to the perspective problem, Chen Xiao and the others didn't see half a figure, but the person who spoke found them first.

"Captain Lin Hu, is that you? I'm Jinpeng!"

Jin Peng, who was at the front of the team, heard the sound coming from the grove in front of him, and after a short period of surprise, he was the first to come to his senses, and hurriedly asked loudly with a surprised face, his tone was still full of anticipation.

"Jinpeng? I'm Lin Hu! Didn't I tell you to go back to the tribe to report the news? Why are you still here? ”

The person who spoke in the grove opposite was Lin Hu, and when he heard Lin Hu's voice at this time, he couldn't help but ask in a loud voice in an unhappy tone, and his words were full of anger.

"Brother Lin Hu, are you all right? Have the thieves retreated? It was only after I got the report from Brother Jinpeng that I rushed to support you! I didn't expect to meet you halfway! ”

Without waiting for Jin Peng to respond with an aggrieved face, Chen Xiao had already snatched the conversation in a hurry, and also explained to Jin Peng, who looked embarrassed, but his voice was full of confusion, and his heart was even more concerned about the safety of Lin Hu and others.

"Haha! It turned out that Leader Chen personally came to pick us up! Brothers, we don't have to worry about it now, even if those thieves call in for helpers, we don't need to be afraid anymore! ”

After Lin Hu heard Chen Xiao's reply, he couldn't help laughing, and then shouted in surprise, and also comforted the brothers around him in an obedient tone, with an optimistic and heroic attitude.

"Brother Chen Xiao, don't worry, those thieves have been beaten away by us, we not only gave five of them thieves to justice on the spot, but also rescued dozens of people who were enslaved by them, and none of the brothers in our patrol team were killed, only a few were slightly injured! I'll see you later, and I'll give you a detailed report! ”

As Lin Hu quickly approached Chen Xiao and the others, his heroic voice also reached the ears of Chen Xiao and the others more and more loudly, only to hear Lin Hu showing off the exploits of the patrol team while belittling the unbearable thieves he encountered, with a complacent tone, he was about to say that he and the others were chivalrous heroes who saw uneven roads.

And he didn't know at all that after listening to his narration at this time, the expression on Chen Xiao's face had gradually turned cold, with a sense of hatred for iron and steel, and he didn't know that Chen Xiao was brewing at this time, if he couldn't give Chen Xiao a reasonable explanation for a while, Chen Xiao would punish him severely, because Chen Xiao had already set him up according to his bold words, that is, to make trouble out of nothing, to be self-righteous, to ignore the overall situation, and to set up a great enemy in vain......
