Chapter 20: The Shadow of the Bandit
Lin San packed up his things and hurriedly went on the road.
The donkey cart was full, and he had to rush back to the city as soon as possible to sell the goods.
After he left, Qinzhen also began to grasp the infrastructure work of the small fishing village.
A wall of earth rose from the ground to enclose the village, and a ditch was dug one meter wide and one meter deep under the earthen wall, leaving only a few openings for people to enter and exit.
Wooden stake barricades were set up next to the entrance, guarded by the village guards, and three four-meter-high guard towers stood next to the low wall, giving a panoramic view of the scenery inside and outside the village.
The small fishing village is a flat land, and there is no danger to rely on, so Qin Zhen can only do some basic defensive measures to protect the safety of the village to the greatest extent.
"Don't say it, the village is really a lot brighter!" The old village chief followed Qin Zhen to inspect together, nodded and said, "It's just that there are few people in our village, if there are more people, there will be such a smell of the town!" ”
Walking to the entrance of the village, Chen Shu was leading the village guards to train to tie guns.
It is not necessarily true that it is a gun, because the big merchants have very strict control over iron tools, and ordinary people cannot get iron tools, and the village guards can only practice with wooden sticks with sharpened heads.
There are not many village guards, only a dozen people, arranged in three rows in the open space, repeatedly boring poking at the air!
It is undoubtedly inappropriate to train the civilians of this world in the same way that later generations trained special forces.
After some practical discussions between Qin Zhen and Chen Shu, Qin Zhen set two training criteria for the village guards, one is to run fifty miles of mountain roads every day without thunder and rain or shine; The second is to practice using wooden guns.
The purpose of running the mountain road is to ensure physical fitness, and the practice of wooden guns is to let the villagers master the simple fighting skills so that they will not encounter the enemy and be at a loss.
Chen Shu had proposed that the people of the village guard learn to use wooden crossbows.
It was vetoed by Qin Zhen.
First, because the production of wooden crossbows is more complicated, counting the first wooden crossbows, plus the two repeating crossbows in Qin Zhen's hands, there are only three, which is not enough at all.
The second reason is that the wooden crossbow is the only sharp weapon in Qin Zhen's hands!
It is a means of saving life.
Now that the village guard has just been established, it is far from enough to be trusted, and Qin Zhen will not choose to fake the wooden crossbow to others at this time.
"Kill!"
To Qin Zhen's surprise, Li Han, this kid, was actually holding a wooden stick and practicing behind the butt of the village guard.
Screaming with his head stalked.
"What a howl!" Chen Shu patted Li Han's head angrily, and scolded: "Those who know that we are training, and those who don't know think that we are going to rebel!" Kill, kill, kill! Why, do you really think we're soldiers? ”
Qin Zhen also came over at this time and said with a smile: "Aren't you in the fishing team?" If you don't follow Liu Quan and them to get fishing nets, what are you practicing here? ”
"I lost the last fight, I have to practice, so as not to be beaten as a grandson next time!" Li Han replied angrily.
"Fighting? What fight? The old village chief looked suspicious.
When there was a conflict with Brother Scar, Qin Zhen asked the fishing team to keep it strictly secret, and the people in the village didn't know about it.
Seeing that Qin Zhen's face was not right, the old village chief instantly understood that there was something here, and immediately persuaded worriedly: "Zhen'er, when you go out, you can bear it, don't conflict with others, let alone be fierce!" Who knows who is out there? We can't afford to mess with it! ”
"Good people deserve to be bullied?" Li Han was not happy, he thought of the scene when he was knocked to the ground by the fishhead boy with a stick that day, and a touch of hideousness flashed over his honest face: "If I want to say, I should be ruthless with others!" Whoever dares to rob us of our things, I will use this wooden gun to kill him! ”
But it can't make the old village chief angry.
Li Han is a fool, where can he listen to it? The old village chief didn't bother with Li Han, and directly pulled Qin Zhen aside, and after receiving Qin Zhen's assurance that he would not risk the lives of the people in the village, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After the village chief left, Qin Zhen found Chen Shu.
"I think what Hanzi said makes sense, from today onwards, the fishing team, including me, will also train with you."
"It seems that you didn't listen to a word of the old village chief's words." Chen Shu quipped.
"I just listened to it, so I did it." Qin Zhen Zhengse said: "It's very dangerous outside, if you don't learn a trick and a half to defend yourself, you won't be able to run away when you encounter something!" The people in the village trust me to follow me out to work, and I have to bring back a lot of them. ”
After that, he also entered the team with a wooden stick and trained together.
In this regard, Chen Shu was a little moved, he quickly restrained his emotions and put on a strict posture: "Fuck me seriously, practice well!" Don't squeak like a all day! Swing the gun 10,000 times, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish practicing! ”
Under the sunset, the old and young masters sweated, and their vigorous bodies were naked in the afterglow, which caused the girls in the village to be shy, and the eldest aunts and aunts commented on them.
"Don't say it, Qin Zhen is not very old, he is quite handsome! It must be strong on the kang, and I don't know if Juanzi can stand it. ”
"Men, it's all like that! Who didn't come from the fiercest age? After a few years, I was deflated. ”
"His third aunt, that's not what he said, do you think it's all like the one in your family? I see, Qin Zhen is fierce and fierce, and I am afraid that I will have to marry dozens of mothers-in-law in the future to be comfortable! ”
The women in the village always spoke too bluntly, and Rao was a little embarrassed at the moment with Qin Zhen's face.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound from the village watchtower.
I only heard the villagers on guard above shouting hurriedly while blowing the wooden xun.
"There are people in the woods outside, there are many people!"
The shouts resounded through the village, and every household panicked.
"At this time, it is almost dark, how can anyone rush in the mountains and forests?" Li Han hesitated: "Aren't they bandits and bandits, right?!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the villagers were even more panicked.
The small fishing village has also been plundered by bandits more than once, and those dogs have robbed everything, food, clothes, women, everything they like, they have all been robbed!
Every time the bandits came, the villagers of the small fishing village were forced to flee to the woods for refuge, and did not dare to return to the village until the bandits left.
"Run!" The old village chief climbed high and shouted, ready to take everyone to abandon the village and run away as usual.
"Can't run!" Qin Zhen shouted: "There is still grain and cloth in my warehouse, and the loom is also outside!" If you run away, everything will be gone! ”
Having said that, at the moment of life and death, no one listened to Qin Zhen at all.
The people in the village ran and fled, and even some people in the village guard sneaked away.
"Let's slip away." A member of the village guard whispered.
His legs were swinging, and his face was like white paper.
"Run a fart! Do you know if there are any bandits hiding in the woods? Are there still fewer people who have been bitten to death by poisonous snakes and taken away by bears in the mountains over the years? Qin Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted: "Everyone who has a seed comes with me, our village must be guarded by ourselves!" ”
