At this time, Lai Pozi was so frightened that the two trembled, and after the group of ruffians retreated, they sat down on the ground slumped, and there was a faint commotion.

Wang Xiujuan looked and found that the floor on which the other party was sitting was already wet.

In fact, she didn't get much better, she just beat her spirits, and after the people retreated, she beckoned Lai Pozi to clean up the place.

After Wang Xiujuan examined, she found that the ruffian who was shot was not dead, she pulled out the arrow on the opponent's stomach and kicked him twice more at the wound on the stomach.

The ruffian passed out directly, and the two old ladies worked together to drag the person to the front shop, which can be regarded as a deterrent to the people who want to come and grab things behind.

Just as they were about to close the small door in the backyard, they found that the door had been kicked and crumbling, and it would fall down at any moment.

There was no way, the two of them could only reluctantly close the door, and after closing the door, they pushed the cabinet in the room against the door.

Don't let someone outside kick the door open.

After finishing her work, Wang Xiujuan sat on the ground directly at the door, leaning on the cabinet.

"Sissy her milk, what to do...... What to do? What's going on? Why did you call? We can't get out, can we? What's the matter? ”

Wang Xiujuan wiped the sweat on her head, and took the crossbow pinned to her waist in her hand.

"I don't know what's going on in the village." Her son is so smart as his granddaughter, he must have run to the mountains, right?

Today is still the day when the two of them return to the village, and I don't know if her son will run into the thieves outside when he comes to pick them up?

No, no, God likes their family so much, I will definitely bless them safe!

"Oh my God! How did you let us encounter this kind of thing?! When Lai Pozi thought of the life and death of her son and grandson at home, she suddenly felt sad.

Lai Pozi cried quietly for a while before she cleaned up her mood.

"Sissy she's a milkie. Thanks to you just now, otherwise my wife would have to explain here today. ”

Wang Xiujuan patted her hand and didn't speak.

Lai Pozi said again: "Do you think we can get out alive?" ”

Wang Xiujuan ignored Lai Pozi, who was thinking about it on the side, and suddenly seemed to hear a dense sound of footsteps outside.

"Don't talk." Wang Xiujuan made a silent gesture towards Lai Pozi.

Stand up, put your ear to the cabinet, and listen carefully to the movement outside.

After a while, the sound of smashing outside seemed to slowly subside.

A few screams could be faintly heard.

"What's going on? It seems to be silent outside? It can't be a broken city, right?! Lai Pozi was so anxious that her face turned pale.

"You squat here, I'll step on you to see what's going on outside."

Wang Xiujuan stepped on Lai Pozi's shoulder, lying on the wall courtyard and looking outside, waiting for her to see the officers and soldiers with knives before she figured out what was going on.

Lai Pozi's face was swollen and red, "Xixi, her milk, have you seen it clearly?" I'm dying! ”

Wang Xiujuan felt that her feet were shaking more and more, for fear that the other party would throw herself into a fight, so she hurriedly got off her shoulder.

As soon as her feet hit the ground, Lai Pozi sat directly on the ground.

After panting evenly, Lai Pozi asked: "What's the matter, Xixi's milk, what's the situation outside?" ”

Wang Xiujuan leaned against the wall, "It's okay, those officers and soldiers outside have come out to drive people away, and those ruffians have been driven away." ”

Wang Xiujuan guessed that the city gate should not be broken and could hold on for a while. Otherwise, it is impossible, and there are still people who can help maintain order in the city.

If there is chaos in the city, it will be useless for them to guard the gates. Therefore, on the premise of being able to guard the city gate, the other party has the strength to manage the order in the city.

In that case, they should be safe for the time being.

If Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng hadn't gone back yesterday, they would have been able to have two more people now.

For now, we can only count on the two old ladies themselves.

Fortunately, they also put some grain here, although the taro balls are sold out, but with those rations, there is no problem to last for three or five days.

The focus is on what they will do after these three or five days have passed.

Surely no one out there will sell food. What will they eat then? Don't wait until you are not killed by the thieves, but you starve to death.

As for water, there is a well in the courtyard, and there is no shortage of it.

The two of them sat in the courtyard with the sun on the back, and when it was close to noon, they made a meal and continued to guard, but the sun was too strong, and the two old ladies hid at the door of Wang Xiujuan's room, vigilantly looking around the courtyard, beware of someone suddenly breaking in.

However, since the county lieutenant Wu and General Chen sent people to maintain order in Taixi County, there have been many fewer smashing and looting, and every household has closed its doors and dare not go out at will.

The summer days are long, and it is only when it gets dark that it is seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Perhaps the thieves did not move all day, and the soldiers guarding the walls were slack and not as nervous as before.

But the uneasiness in General Chen's heart became more and more obvious, and he didn't think about what was wrong after thinking about it for a long time.

After standing on the city wall for a day, he personally went to patrol the two city gates before he reached the city wall.

County Lieutenant Wu stood on the city wall, "General, what the hell are these thieves doing?" They don't want a night raid, do they? ”

General Chen is wearing armor and his knife is not in his hand, "It is very likely." ”

After speaking, he said to the herald beside him: "Inform me and give me a little vigilance at night." The thieves may want to raid at night. ”

After waiting for the herald to go down, Lieutenant Wu said again:

"General, it's just getting dark, why don't you go back and rest first, and come back later?" Under such a big day, Lieutenant Wu couldn't stand it without armor, let alone General Chen, who stood on the city wall all day in armor.

Now that the county magistrate does not know the life and death, most of the things in the county government are pressed on the county lieutenant, and General Chen is responsible for guarding the city gate.

But the supreme commander in the county is obviously General Chen, who has soldiers and horses.

"It's okay, you go down and rest. I'll be here tonight. ”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, Wu County Lieutenant could only give up, went down the city wall by himself, and prepared to go home to rest.

The later it gets, the more Wang Xiujuan doesn't dare to rest, and before she knows it, the time has come to midnight, that is, at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Lai Pozi and Wang Xiujuan were in the same room, and both of them were sitting at the door of the room, and the other party was already sleepy and staring in a daze, and couldn't stop dozing.

There were a few sneaky figures at the gate of the smaller city, quietly approaching the soldiers guarding the city.

Several people took advantage of the fact that the guards at the door were in distress and wiped their necks with knives neatly.

"It's all done!"

"Ready, when the door is opened, you will ring the gong."

"Good! I hope you don't break your word! ”

"Don't worry, our King Hu won't treat you badly."

A few ruffians in the city were found by the retinue of the county magistrate who went into the city to report the news, and they paid for it tonight!

The entourage promised a few people, and Hu Dadao would not treat a few people badly after occupying Taixi County.

At this time, several people looked ecstatic and worked together to open the door directly!
