In the homes of everyone in Yujiawan, the family is hugging each other and crying bitterly, not knowing what to do.

Then I heard the news that the gong was ringing, and the big guy was going to meet in the courtyard of the owner's house.

After the family looked at each other, they were suddenly a little surprised, and they didn't care about cleaning up the others, even the old and the young dragged the family and brought the family to the Ning family in this newly built yard in Yujiawan.

When I arrived, I saw that the people were boiling, and the people in the entire Yujiawan had almost arrived.

"Silence, all men over the age of fifteen and under the age of forty gathered, and Steward Liu arranged a patrol vigil.

Among the rest, a few women with sharp hands and feet were selected to provide logistical support.

The rest of the adults, under the propped up canopy, set up a stove to boil hot water.

The children are scheduled to rest early and avoid the noise. ”

Ning Pengpeng stood under the eaves, Qingniang accompanied her, and shouted loudly to everyone in the courtyard.

Hearing the owner's words, the crowd that was originally a little messy, like headless flies, finally had what they needed to do, and immediately became organized.

"Back to the old lady, in addition to the subordinates in our own house, there are a total of forty-three young people available in Yujiawan."

Steward Liu originally just thought that he would take the subordinates in his house to inspect.

Now that there are so many more people at once, the originally tense face is also a little relieved.

At least there are so many men, you should be able to withstand those pirates, right?

Thinking of those pirates who came ashore, Steward Liu's heart was a little uneasy.

However, just now, according to the old lady's instructions, I sent someone to Futai to ask for help.

As long as it can survive tonight, as soon as the soldiers and horses on Lord Futai's side come over, it should be fine.

Steward Liu's face changed back and forth, and Ning Pengpeng watched everyone work in a busy but orderly manner, but he sighed in his heart.

Those pirates went ashore to loot, and the people of Ningfu here in Yujiawan organized everyone to gather together to deal with those pirates, but what about other fishing villages?

When the people are unarmed, I am afraid that they will only be killed.

At this moment, the lives of ordinary people are like waves in the sea, which can easily dissipate.

"After this time, rebuild our yard."

Ning Pengpeng looked at the courtyard where he was now, just like the kind of two-entry courtyard built by wealthy families in the city of Nanyue Mansion, there was no difference, and he didn't think there was any problem before.

But now it seems that there is a problem everywhere.

"Old lady, I don't know what kind of masonry you want to build?"

When Liu Hu heard this, he looked around and asked a little puzzled.

Ning Pengpeng thought about it, but she didn't expect that in addition to the corrupt officials here, there were actually pirates.

Since there are pirates, it is natural that you can't build an ordinary wall, but a wall that can resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

If you want to talk about the wall to defend against foreign enemies, it is naturally the famous round earthen building.

It just so happens that there are more and more fishermen on this side of Yujiawan.

is so scattered and separated, if there is anything, it can't help in time.

It is better to build a circular earthen building directly, as long as the gate is closed, it will be a fortress, ensuring that those pirates will be helpless when they see it.

Ning Pengpeng thought as she took a branch and drew it on the ground.

"This tulou can be divided into two circles, the outer and outer circles, and the outermost circle of the city wall is for the fishermen of Yujiawan to live in.

From this side, there is a staircase to the top of the city wall, and there are people living below, and people are arranged to patrol the top.

Prevent people from climbing up with their claws or setting fires. ”

When Liu Hu saw the house painted by the old lady, his eyes lit up.

Wonderful, this round earthen building is made of stones, although the fishermen are enclosed with the people of Ningfu, but the fishermen all live in the outer ring, and it will not affect the Ningfu in the inner circle.

It's a wall as high as a city wall, and it's big enough to keep the big guys safe.

Even if the pirates come, they are not afraid that they will kill the fishermen quietly, which greatly improves the safety of everyone.

Compared with the courtyard they live in now, how does this courtyard look like it leaks on all sides, and the security is too poor!

Just as Liu Hu was pointing to the picture drawn by Ning Pengpeng to ask for advice, one of the teams arranged by him hurried over, and said with panic on his face.

"Steward Liu, there is a fire approaching from the south."

Hearing this, Ning Peng raised his head violently, and after exchanging glances with Liu Hu, he said in a deep voice.

"Bring me a ladder and take a closer look.

By the way, the hot water in the pot, keep boiling, don't stop. ”

Everyone was stunned, this hot water has already boiled a lot, what are you going to do if you keep it burning?

However, although the big guys were puzzled, since the owner had ordered it like this, they naturally would not speak out against it.

Anyway, boil some hot water, and just waste some firewood!

Moreover, this Chai He is also the owner's, so they don't need to feel distressed.

Ning Pengpeng took Liu Huhe and the group of people who came to him, quietly climbed the ladder, and looked in the direction he was pointing.

In the midst of such heavy rain, there was a flickering fire in the distance.

Looking at it, it should be someone holding a torch and moving forward.

These people would be so bold as to light torches and go forward, seemingly without fear that the fishermen would find out.

After all, at night, it was raining heavily, and under normal circumstances, ordinary people would have already fallen asleep in the bed.

However, looking at the distance, it should still be a little far from here.

The main thing is this courtyard of the Ning family, which is located in a relatively remote area, behind the houses where all the fishermen in Yujiawan live.

And those people, the direction they went to, should be in the fishing village, and for a while, they should not be able to find the courtyard where the Ning family is located.

"Command him to go down and put out all the places in the courtyard where the lights are lit."

The stoves that were burning the water barriers, all the stoves were dismantled, and they were put into the house, and then the water was boiled.

Remember, block doors and windows so that no light comes out.

The patrol was divided into three groups, and one group stood guard by the door.

If these people break in, remember to kill them.

The other group stood on the fence, and whenever someone climbed the wall, they would stab them with something sharp in their hands.

The rest of the group hid under the wall, rotating with the people guarding the wall at any time. ”

Soon, the lights in the courtyard of the Ning family were all dimmed.

A group of them, with kitchen knives, hoes and other weapons in their hands, were nervously guarding the posts ordered by the owner.

And the firelight in the distance slowly approached the fishing village from the beginning.

When he entered the fishing village, he found that it was empty, and suddenly the man named Kawamura who led the way kicked him on the wall of the stone house.

"Baga, damn it, who the hell told the news to let these pigs escape?"

But let him jump like thunder, it won't help.

After all, people ran away, and their Ruyu abacus fell through.
