Chapter Fifty-Eight: Closing the Village
Ning Changrong and the others drove the ox cart back to the village, and they were immediately surrounded by the villagers.
"Evergreen, what's going on outside? Got cabbage seeds? ”
"Brother Evergreen, has the grain store in the county opened? There is less and less food in this house, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts. ”
"Evergreen, did you see the situation in their village when you passed by Zhangjia Village? Are they okay over there? ”
Everyone surrounded Ning Da Niu and Ning Changrong with all their mouths, If they didn't know that the black spot had a bad temper, I was afraid that they would have to come together.
Ning Daniu saw that Ning Changrong's face was not good, and knew that he was still nauseous, "Everyone let go, let go, we have to report the situation outside to the village chief, everyone who wants to hear can come over and listen together, put it around, but no one can listen!" ”
The two drove the ox cart straight to the village chief's house.
"What?! You've encountered a homeless robbery?! Ning Da Niu was in charge there, saying that Ning Changrong added next to him that if it weren't for the serious situation, he would have to go home and lie down.
Village Chief Ning listened to Ning Daniu and Ning Changrong finish talking about the news outside, and muttered in his mouth: "It's messed up." He walked around anxiously with his hands behind his back, thinking about what to do.
Ning Da Niu didn't tell the truth, only said that they took advantage of the fact that the group of people was not paying attention, and the black dots were very powerful, and they rushed over directly. That's when I got out.
Village Chief Ning was psychologically anxious, and he did not suspect anything else. The grain store in the county has been closed for so long, and the surrounding homeless people are getting more and more, listening to what Ning Changrong and Ning Daniu mean, they have to wait a little longer, waiting for the county master to send troops to drive away the homeless, but before that, they can only rely on themselves.
But there are only a few homeless people, only more and more, and there are only those young people in their village, and now they can take advantage of a person with weapons in their hands, and when those homeless people gather more and more, I am afraid that they will directly rush into the village to burn and loot.
And they became the lambs to the slaughter!
The crowd gathered next to the village chief's house also exploded in an instant, no one cared about the cabbage seeds anymore, and it didn't matter if the food could not be bought, they still had enough to eat at present, plus those wild vegetable leaves could last a lot of days.
"What to do?! How can so many displaced people come to us? I thought that there would be nothing wrong with us patrolling every day, but if there were more and more of them, our entire village would not be of any use combined! ”
"The county master said that he was going to transfer officers and soldiers, and I don't know when he will be able to transfer them, I'm afraid that when those officers and soldiers come, we are still not here!"
Everyone talked about it, some were worried about the safety of their own family, and some were thinking about their mother's family, and after hearing this, Village Chief Ning drove people away, leaving only Ning Changrong and Ning Daniu to discuss.
"Changrong, uncle knows that you are a knowledgeable person, what should our village do in the current situation? If you have a good idea, just say it. ”
Ning Changrong pondered for a moment, "Uncle, I don't have any good ways at the moment, but I know that the imperial court will definitely send people to drive these homeless people, we just need to hold on this time, the most important thing is to be optimistic about the entrance of each village and do more to reject horses." ”
This time I went to the county Ning Changrong to gain a lot, and I also had some bottom in my heart, the county lord sent troops to drive away the displaced people, and there was a military camp stationed nearby, guarding a granary.
Whether it is the county lord or the general of the military camp, they will definitely not let this place be chaotic. It's just that I don't know the specific time, and it is estimated that the two parties still have to grind, and the people have to suffer again.
After Ning Changrong finished analyzing this information with Village Chief Ning, Village Chief Ning also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When Ning Daniu told him, he also said that the county magistrate would find officers and soldiers to help drive away the displaced people, but he did not comfort Village Chief Ning, Ning Changrong was different after analyzing it, anyway, after listening to it, Village Chief Ning felt that they always had a way out.
The right thing to think about now is how to prevent these people from breaking in.
……
After Ning Changrong and Ning Daniu went out of the village chief's house, they were surrounded by a group of people, and they could only say that the village chief was thinking of a way, and then sent the cabbage seeds of each family down. I didn't go home until I was done.
Ning Qingxi and Wang Xiujuan didn't go to join in the fun, anyway, Ning Changrong would come back sooner or later, and it would be the same when the time came, and they couldn't squeeze in at all when there were so many people.
Ning Qingxi looked at her father's face a little bad, and asked with concern: "Dad, are you okay, why do you look a little pale?" ”
Wang Xiujuan also looked at her son with a worried face.
Ning Changrong took a sip of tea, sat on the kang, and let out a long breath.
Tell me everything that happened today.
There is no need to hide it from them, his daughter is not a real child, and if he wants to travel through this ancient world, he has to work together as a whole family, and he alone is enough.
Let's just say that today, if it weren't for the crossbow made by his daughter, I don't know what would have happened.
Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi were both a little stunned after hearing this, and finally there was a long silence.
Wang Xiujuan's heart beat like thunder, and she touched her son Ning Changrong's head with trembling hands: "Changrong, it's hard work." ”
The tears in Ning Qingxi's eyes slipped down in an instant, and she hugged her father for a long time and was silent.
Ning Changrong pretended to smile and said, "Ouch, what's wrong with you grandparents?" Isn't there nothing wrong with me? Mother, you used to worship the Bodhisattva on weekdays, and this Bodhisattva will give us a little care, right? Where will it be easy to take away your most beloved son? I also have such a lucky daughter, God even gave you a golden finger, what can your father do? This god can let me go for your sake! ”
Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi were said by Ning Changrong's incoherent words, neither did they cry or laugh.
"Milk, Dad, that crossbow is one of our family's hands, and they usually put it on their bodies, so they can defend themselves when they encounter problems."
Ning Changrong nodded in agreement, "I'll get a few handfuls for those two brothers when I go back." ”
Ning Changrong gave them four bamboo hand crossbows made by Ning Qingxi, and the iron ones were all on them.
The Ning family also knew the seriousness of the matter, Ning Changrong asked them a few words, and Ning Lao Er went to join the patrol in the village, and there was a crossbow given to them by Ning Changrong on his waist, as long as he was not seen by those officials, there must be no problem.
After Ning Changrong came back, the number of patrol teams in Xiayuan Village increased a lot, and wooden stakes were set up at all entrances of the village, and the top of the wood was sharpened. Torches are lit everywhere, the weather is starting to warm up, and there is no need to worry about firewood, and a gong is placed at every intersection where you can enter the village, and if something happens, it will be sounded immediately to summon the villagers.
Because Ning Daniu and Ning Changrong came back with news, they directly counted them as patrolling once.
Xiayuan Village began to be closed at this point.
