Chapter Seventy-Four: Officers and Soldiers Arrive
The captain led a group of soldiers under his command to station in Xiayuan Village, and one of the soldiers ran to the nearest family to call someone, and the place where he arrived happened to be Ning Changrong's house.
"Bang bang bang! Is there anyone in there? Hurry up and get me out if you're alive! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
The gate in the courtyard was slammed, Ning Changrong heard someone shouting outside in the door of Wang Xiujuan's room, listening to the arrogant voice, the three of them looked solemn, and their hearts were uneasy, "Mother, I'll go see what's going on, Xixi, you and your milk hide well, don't come out." ”
Ning Qingxi held a crossbow in his hand, his eyes swept over a certain cabinet, thinking about the things inside, his heart was a little settled, and he looked reluctant, "Dad, don't worry, my grandmother and I will hide, you have to be careful." ”
After speaking, Ning Qingxi jumped off the fire kang, ran to the wooden box she had seen before in the corner, took out the key on her waist, quickly took out an iron lump from it, turned around and handed it to Ning Changrong, "Dad, you bring this." ”
Ning Changrong didn't expect his daughter to secretly make a firecracker!
He made all the parts that his daughter wanted, but they were all small parts, and he couldn't see what they would be made until the finished product came out. Now he doesn't have to say anything if he wants to speak, maybe his daughter is right.
After Ning Changrong took it, he took it in his hand, and found that this thing was small and exquisite, more convenient to carry than a crossbow, and he was still hesitating to bring a hand crossbow, that guy was a bit big, if he took it out, it would be difficult to hide, so don't worry about it now.
Ning Qingxi took a few more paper packets from inside, "Dad, this is ammunition." Ning Qingxi said as he taught his father how to use it.
It's actually not difficult to operate, and Ning Qingxi also made it into the form of a small paper packet, just pour the medicine powder into it and use a stick to solidify it.
After Ning Changrong learned it, he directly pinned the fire gun to his waist, listened to the louder and louder sound of the door knocking outside, and said as he walked:
"Bring the silver with you, take your crossbows, and if you still have firearms, you will come back to you, and if you can't find anyone in the chaos, we'll see you in the mountains!" Remember to leave a mark along the way, just draw a five-pointed star on the tree as a mark! ”
"Good! Dad, be careful! ”
Ning Changrong opened the door, glanced at the grandparents, immediately closed the door, and found that the door next to him was also open, it was Ning Laoer, the brothers looked at each other for a second, and then walked to the gate of the courtyard together, Ning Changrong changed his smiling face, and said as he walked: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”
"Squeak."
What caught his eye was an officer and soldier who looked five big and three thick, holding a bloodstained knife in his hand, his face was full of meat, he was looking impatient at the moment, and when he wanted to continue knocking on the door, Ning Changrong opened the door with a smile and walked out, "Official, I don't know what's going on?" ”
"What's going on? Lao Tzu knocked for a long time and didn't open the door? Lao Tzu drove you out of exile, and you treated us like this after a long day's hard work? ”
"The official is angry, isn't the villain scared? It's too late, you dissipate. ”
"Okay, okay, go and call your village chief over, our captain and brothers will have dinner here, prepare it for me, if something goes wrong, your village can't afford to eat!" Don't blame Lao Tzu for not reminding you in advance! ”
"Yes, yes, don't worry, the villain will go and ask the village chief to arrange it. Would you like to come in and have a drink and rest your feet? ”
The officer and soldier were a little moved, but when he looked inside, he found that his yard was in tatters, and there were a bunch of wild vegetables, so he suddenly lost interest, "No need, go and call someone." After speaking, he left with a happy face.
After Ning Changrong and the others left, the smile on their faces disappeared instantly, with a cold face, they glanced at the yard, the wild vegetables in the yard were dried by Li Dafeng, and the benches were thrown everywhere, the officers and soldiers came too suddenly, Li Dafeng had a bunch of things in the yard, and he wanted to take everything back, and he made a mess in a hurry, and he didn't think that he would save his family a trouble at this moment.
"Second brother, you take care of your family, tell your mother about the situation, and I'll go to the village chief."
Ning Laoer, who was frightened just now, had a white face, "Okay, big brother, don't worry, I'll make it clear to them later." ”
Ning Changrong didn't speak, and patted him on the shoulder.
As soon as Ning Changrong stepped out of the courtyard gate, Ning Lao'er's voice sounded behind him, "Brother, don't worry!" I'll take care of my mother and Sissy! ”
Ning Changrong turned his head and smiled.
"Bang bang, village chief, open the door, I'm Evergreen!"
Village Chief Ning's family was hiding in the door, and all the women rushed to the cellar, Ning Husheng listened for a while, and said, "Dad, I seem to have heard the voice of Brother Changrong?" “
"Village Chief! Open the door. ”
When Village Chief Ning heard this, he stood up and said, "Go and open the door!" ”
Ning Changrong was welcomed in by Ning Husheng, and as soon as he entered the door, before Ning Husheng's door was closed, Ning Changrong took the lead in speaking, "Uncle, it's okay outside, the homeless people have been driven away." ”
In fact, it is more appropriate to say that he was killed, and he ran all the way and saw a lot of corpses. In the distance, a group of officers and soldiers could be seen in the village, and someone saw him pointing, a man on a horse was looking at him, and there was a soldier next to him who seemed to be explaining something.
"Evergreen, what are you doing then?" Village Chief Ning looked at the other party with a solemn face, knowing that things were not so simple.
"Uncle Village Chief, that group of officers and soldiers asked us to prepare a meal, they want to eat here, and now they are waiting in the village, it seems that hundreds of people have come. Just now, an officer knocked on my door, and asked me to inform you. ”
Ning Husheng was shocked and angry, "We still have so much to eat there?" These damned officers and soldiers! ”
Village Chief Ning knocked on his son, "Shut up!" Are you trying to bring disaster to the villagers?! ”
It was really just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, the village chief Ning sighed, the whole person seemed to be a few years older, "Go, go and inform each family, each family will produce some food, what is there, you watch, let them not make up the number of those wild vegetables, and then a few mothers-in-law with good skills in the village are responsible for cooking, and they can send them away safely." When we don't have food, we will go to the mountains to look for it, and if we don't serve this group of officers and soldiers well, I'm afraid something will happen. ”
After Village Chief Ning finished speaking, he took Ning Changrong to the captain.
At this time, the captain had dismounted and sat on a stool, not knowing from which house he had taken it.
"Captain, shall we only eat?" The soldier looked like he was about to move.
The lieutenant laughed and scolded: "What do you want to do this kid? Don't even think about it, this is our general's hometown, you can go to other mansions to play as you want, not here, overdone, can the general let you go? What else can they have if their broken village is robbed by homeless people once? You can't offend the general. ”
The rest of the officers who were listening were all regretful.
The lieutenant looked at the expressions of his soldiers, and he didn't know what they were thinking, and suddenly laughed: "Brothers, don't worry, next month, Lord Ben will try to rob us of a good job at the general, although we are not welcomed when we go to that field, but we can let go of the fun!" ”
When Ning Changrong accompanied Village Chief Ning to come, he heard the group of people laughing, and the two of them hurriedly stood on the outermost part to salute the captain.
