The wretched will have something to hate.

This world is already cruel, and the people living at the bottom can only bear it silently if they have no power to resist.

"Xingluo, do you think it's appropriate to release the arrow now?"

He's seriously asking for advice.

To tell the truth, he wanted to let the refugees go, and if the arrows could deter them, the villagers would feel better if they had fewer refugees.

These people are also the people of the Great Swallow -

Shen Xingluo glanced at the people on the patrol and saw that their faces also showed hesitation.

"Then release the arrows."

Cheng Xi also saw the entanglement on everyone's faces, although he shouted arrogantly on the way here, but it still takes courage to face all this.

There is an essential difference between refugees and bandits.

The mountain bandits have done a lot of evil, and it is only natural to kill them, but the refugees are good people, and if it were not for the natural disasters in the place where they live, they would not be cornered.

If the worst part of the snow disaster becomes Lin'an Province, they don't know what will happen now.

Shen Manchu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he raised his hand.

"Shoot the arrows!"

There were a few thuds, and the feathers of the arrows shot forward through the cracks in the stones, nailing into the snow with a dull thudding sound.

Cheng Xi had excellent eyesight, and he could see most of the arrow feathers that fell to the ground at a glance, and there were very few refugees who were shot.

Is the patrol not good at archery?

If it had been a month ago, this result would not be an exaggeration.

But after a month of training, they have long been reborn.

The reason for this is that the patrol team has left a back hand.

Every arrow is a warning.

If the other party is smart, you know that Shenjiacun is not easy to mess with.

The leader was horrified, and the refugees standing behind him quickly took a few steps back again, and some people had even left with shouts.

The original team of thirty or forty people was instantly halved.

"What are you panicking about? Now there are no arrows, they must have all that, give them to me! ”

Hunger overcame reason, and the leader was ruthless, and raised his weapon again and came back this way.

Shen Manchu behind the stone wall sighed heavily.

"Ahh

The patrol also sighed heavily.

"Ahh

"Hmph-"

Cheng Daqian expressed his dissatisfaction.

Only Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi's expressions remained unchanged, and the latter also touched Shen Qingsong's hairy little head beside him to show comfort.

20 or so refugees, really not worth the patrol, the trap on the ground is enough to drink a pot.

And as it turned out, there was no accident, all 20 refugees fell into the trap behind, including the leader of the group!

Some people are lucky enough to be pierced by the cold and can still leave a life elsewhere, and those who have a bad life will be given their heads on the spot.

The patrol only released a few dozen arrows from beginning to end as a warning, and the war was over.

When the last refugee stumbled away with one leg in tow, Shen Manchu walked out of the stone wall in a low tone.

"Let's go, pack up."

At that time, behind a snowdrift a few hundred meters away, the group of people who witnessed a landslide victory had shocked expressions.

"Boss, boss, they're so strong!"

"Without breaking a single person, you cleaned up a group of disaster victims?"

Where is this ordinary village, it's obviously a bandit village!

It's a shame that they didn't rush forward, otherwise they would have died now!

Waves of victims came from the north, and the first few groups to arrive had already set their sights on the seemingly rich Shenjia Village.

It's just that they don't look easy to mess with, so they keep a watchful eye all the time.

Finally, a group of refugees came to attack the village, and they also wanted to see if the people inside could fight behind their backs.

I don't know if I don't see this, I scared half my life out of it!

"I have long known that this Shenjia Village can't be messed with, but they are also too strong-"

"Let's go, don't stare here in the future, maybe you will lose your destiny one day."

More than a dozen people got up and ran back in a panic, as if there were hungry wolves chasing after them.

Never again, and won't come when you get it on your neck!

The patrol team left one by one, and only Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were left behind the stone wall.

The two of them looked together at the snowdrift a few hundred meters away.

"How's this deterrent?"

"It can last for a few days."

The deterrence is there, and it is eye-catching enough, but not ruthless enough.

Shen Xingluo originally wanted to use the group of people who attacked the village to establish his authority, and warned the other refugees lurking in the shadows to watch the changes, they were not to be messed with.

But Shen Manchu and the patrol team couldn't bear it, and the deterrent was also discounted.

***

The arrival of the victims on that day seemed to be the beginning.

After a few days of calm, Shenjia Village was attacked by another group of victims, and the patrol team members had slowly accepted it.

Two days later, when the third group of victims had their eyes on the area, the patrol could shoot arrows at the enemy without any burden, without any mercy.

"Why can't these people finish fighting?"

"Just stare at our piece of meat, right?"

"Come on, come, whoever is afraid of whom, let's clean up as many brothers as we come!"

Gradually, Shenjia Village became a fortress that could never be conquered, and slowly became famous among this generation of disaster victims.

For the patrols, it has become compulsory for them to beat up refugees from time to time after being trained.

By late February, a third of the snow had melted off the ground.

"-10 degrees Celsius."

In the small courtyard of the Shen family, Cheng Xi pinched the thermometer in one hand and read the scale on it.

The steady rise in temperature is enough to indicate that the snow disaster is about to pass.

This is a good thing for the entire Dayan, but it is not so good for Lin'an Mansion.

Very bad, so to speak.

A large number of refugees from the north have accumulated in the vicinity of Lin'an Province, and although many continue to move south, there are not a small number of people who remain.

According to Shen Qingsong's statistics, the number of people passing by has exceeded 50,000.

Then there will certainly be no fewer people who will stay nearby.

When Shen Xingluo pushed the door in, Cheng Xi just put away the thermometer.

"Qin Zheng has a letter."

Hongwei Dart Bureau went south and north to raise a lot of carrier pigeons, the last time I went to Fucheng, the communication function was turned on inside and outside the city, and Uncle Xizi was very happy when he received his son's first letter.

"What's on the letter?"

"The merchant ships from Huaishui Wharf have come twice, but there is not much grain transported, and there are many places south of Lin'an Mansion that have suffered disasters."

If it weren't for the Qin family's willingness to spend silver, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to buy back a grain of rice.

Shen Xingluo handed the letter in his hand to Cheng Xi, "The Qin Mansion has strengthened its guards, everything is fine." ”

The fate of the Qin family's third room has been completely changed, and Qin Zheng will not be as miserable as in his previous life.

Cheng Xi scanned the letter, "The Qin mission sent by the capital has already entered the boundary of Lin'an Mansion?" ”

The Qin family's news is really well-informed.

Shen Xingluo nodded, thoughtful.

In his previous life, Zhuang Kun led the people of Qingshanzhai to intervene, causing Qin Cha and his party to lose their lives.

And this time, Qingshanzhai will not interfere again, and Zhou Lesong's letter will not fall into the hands of Zhuang Kun again.

Maybe he can do it?
