"Uncle Lizheng, you call me."

When Ye Sang went to look for Li Zheng, he happened to see several elders in the village, including Zhao Fu.

A bunch of people are waiting to speak.

"Brother Li Zheng, what's the matter?"

"I'm looking for you, and I really have something I want to discuss with you."

Li Zheng's expression was serious, and he put a few bones in front of everyone.

Uncle Zhao was a little surprised in his voice: "This doesn't look like a horse bone, is it...... Human bones?! ”

Ye Sang didn't care about it originally, but when he saw those few bones, his expression instantly became serious.

"Did you find it nearby?!"

She had seen horse bones, and the skeleton structure was very different from that of a human. The bones in front of me are clearly the bones of the human thigh. And Li is picking up more than one or two.

"Hey."

Every day when Li Zheng was resting in the village, he would take a few strong men in the village to look ahead to open the way, that is, to cut down some trees and vines on the mountain to facilitate tomorrow's trip.

But yesterday afternoon, when they had cleaned up half of the incense, they saw the bones that had been gnawed, the broken branches, and the traces of people cooking on the fire around them.

Looking at the imprints, it's just a matter of these two days.

"According to the previous map, there is an official road near the mountain road below this piece."

Li Zheng sighed: "Close to the official road, the possibility of encountering homeless people and bandits is great." I just don't know if we're homeless or bandits this time. ”

Uncle Zhao Fu said loudly: "Tonight's village must be strictly patrolled. ”

"Uncle Lizheng, if you can, double the number of people. I will add all the people who will patrol tomorrow to today. Ye Sang also proposed.

These people kill people, and they are definitely not ordinary good stubble.

Zhao Fu also thought so, and said, "Then let me and Ye Sang lead a team of people to patrol and be prepared." ”

This time, as long as he has made meritorious contributions to the village, he can get back the three forks he lent to the village some time ago.

Those three forks are his best helpers in hunting, and Zhao Fu has not found decent prey without them recently.

Li Zheng is relieved that others have already done so when they come to find the two of them. Seeing Zhao Fu so upright, he nodded sincerely.

"Okay, then I'll be relieved."

Then, he looked at Ye Sang again, waiting for her to make a statement.

"Naturally, I have to contribute. It's just that I think it's better to take the initiative than wait. ”

Ye Sang analyzed: "Since this group of people can do such a vicious thing, when we passively encounter it, I am afraid that there is only one way to die." ”

"But if we find bandits, we won't be able to defeat them!"

When it comes to life and death in the village, everyone's nerves are tense.

Hearing Ye Sang say that he took the initiative, there were those who agreed to approve of it, but there were also some people who wanted to go back.

"If I want to die at the hands of the bandits, I might as well go back to the village, at least that's where we live."

"Yes, Lizheng, why don't we go back to the village."

"Go back and be buried alive by the soldiers of the enemy country!" Li Zheng scolded, and everyone instantly fell silent.

In this era, fighting a war is not just about fighting for land, but also about robbing and killing all the cities when you capture them.

If this is not the case, why did they leave their homes in the first place and eat bran vegetables to escape the famine!

"Ye San, you go on." Rizheng encouraged Ye Sang to continue.

"First, it's bandits, we sneak attack, and it's more likely to win."

"Second, they are bandits and outcasts just to eat. But we are different, we have people and things that need to be guarded more than they are! On this point, everyone has to work hard. ”

After Ye Sang finished speaking, the villagers all fell silent.

After a long time, Zhao Fu was the first to speak: "I agree with Ye Sang's opinion. ”

Then, many villagers also stood up and spoke.

"I agree, I will fight for this life, and I will also protect my wife and children."

"Me too, my family still has a lot of food to eat, and I can't cheapen others."

"Me too, I can't die, my family has nine generations of single inheritance, if I don't give birth to a baby, I'll die, my mother is afraid that she will kill me underground."

To put it bluntly, all the men present have children, wives, and food.

They know very well that if they are arrested, not only will their wives and children be humiliated, their food will be taken away, and they will even be killed.

"Alright, let's do it tonight. But don't tell the mother-in-law and children in the family yet, lest they be afraid and ruin big things. ”

It was decided that they would take the initiative to attack at night, and everyone returned to their resting place with their hearts.

When Ye Sang went back, Zhao Daman was sharpening his knife, Zhao Sanlu and Zhao Sigu were standing under a branch, and the two of them were looking at something curiously.

"What are you looking at?"

Ye Sang walked over and saw that the half-sized red chicken he bought from the mall was being tied to two chicken feet and hanging upside down on a branch.

"Little sister-in-law, you see that this chicken is going to be killed, but it behaves so calmly."

After Zhao Sanlu finished speaking, the chicken blinked its red eyelids, as if it agreed with Zhao Sanlu's words.

"No, I think it's like looking down on life and death, and I feel that there is nothing to be nostalgic about in the world."

Zhao Sigu held his cheeks with both hands and spoke seriously.

As a result, the chicken blinked again.

"Not afraid of death?" Ye Sang didn't kill this hen, he planned to keep this chicken to lay eggs.

Seeing that a chicken actually has the character of being fearless in danger, he pulled out the dagger and put it against the chicken's neck.

The chicken stopped pretending to be dead, flapping its wings and showing fear.

"Poof."

A chicken has so many eyes?

Ye Sang chuckled and said to Zhao Daman, who was sharpening his knife: "Big brother, this is a hen, I want to keep it to lay eggs." My sister-in-law is pregnant and needs to eat eggs every day. ”

"Then don't kill it?"

The people in the second room of the Zhao family raised their heads one after another.

It's inconvenient to escape with a chicken. Besides, chickens also have to eat grain.

"Let's see how it behaves, if it doesn't lay eggs, or if it starves to death, let's stew chicken soup."

The chicken hanging from the branch seemed to hear it, and continued to flutter its wings.

"It's too lively, let's stew soup." Ye Sang said again.

The chicken fell silent again, and hung motionless from the branch. Even Zhao Sigu stretched out his hand to push it, but it was still motionless.

"Daddy, don't go anywhere tonight, you must wait for me to come back before sleeping."

In addition to cockfighting for fun, Ye Sang still remembered what Li Zheng said.

"If someone is really sleepy, you can't all fall asleep, and you have to bring a kitchen knife with you."

"Ye Sang, is there something important?"

Mother-in-law Li was frightened when she heard this, and she couldn't rest assured at all: "Why don't you go on patrol and let your father go?" ”

Tonight, it's the day of Ye San's patrol again.

"Daddy, Li Zheng and Uncle have discussed it, you can rest assured."

After Ye Sang finished speaking, he put the dagger in his trouser leg and hung a bow and arrow on his waist, and even put the slingshot on his body to defend himself.

A group of people searched in the mountains, and after searching for about two hours, they saw two fires not far away.

"Is it a bandit, or is it a homeless?"
