Chapter 444: The way of the world has changed, and the gods have punished

On the battlefield, the simpler, more practical, and more effective, there will be no fancy movements, and there will be no long-winded nonsense. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The composure and ruthlessness shown by the three of Chen Sanlang after joining the battle was completely different from the young and strong people in Hongjia Village, and it was precisely because of their assistance that the entire battle situation was reversed. With the death of the commander of the barbarian army, the morale of the barbarian army was greatly damaged and began to retreat.

In fact, this barbarian army was also careless, thinking that it would be easy to slaughter a small mountain village, even if it encountered some resistance, it would not be a problem, how could it have imagined that the result would be like this?

After leaving behind more than 10 corpses, the remaining barbarian soldiers fled, and eight young men were killed and more than 20 wounded in Hongjia Village.

Da Kui was also wounded, and he was stabbed in the back, but fortunately he wore leather armor inside, this knife was only a skin wound, bleeding a lot, fortunately not fatal.

When the battle was over, cries rang out, mixed with cries of pain, and the atmosphere in the village was bleak.

Chen Sanlang stood there, holding a long sword, his clothes were bloody, and his expression was grim. When you are accustomed to life and death, your emotional fluctuations will be controlled, and you will no longer be able to easily express your turmoil.

It's not cold-blooded, it's knowing that tears won't solve anything.

"It's all the scourge that this dog thief provoked!"

At this time, Hong Arda grabbed a person and came over, and it turned out to be the refugee who led the way. The villagers were in a state of flux, and if it hadn't been for Hong A's drinking, they would have come up and beat this guy to death.

Chen Sanlang didn't mind, but before he was killed, he had something to ask.

After this war, Chen Sanlang's status in the eyes of the villagers has skyrocketed, if there are no three outsiders, I am afraid that the village will be destroyed long ago.

The refugee trembled, and in order to survive, he said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans. It turned out that a few of them failed to steal land and gold, and were driven out of the village in embarrassment, and when they went outside, life was difficult, and even worse, they ran into a group of barbarians and became prisoners.

The barbarians had never been in the habit of keeping prisoners and began to kill people, and the refugees, in order to protect themselves, hurried to tell the story of the golden body of the land. Sure enough, the barbarian army coveted the treasure, so he asked him to lead the way and come to Hongjia Village.

As for the origin of this barbarian army, if you don't guess wrong, it should be from the state and county.

The barbarian king Shi Po's army occupied the state and county, reorganized, recuperated, and attacked everywhere, wantonly plundering food resources, such as Huai'an Mansion, Huaishan Mansion, etc., all suffered from it, there is no doubt that Laoshan Mansion is bound to become the target of Shi Po's army, but due to the long distance, coupled with the arrival of winter and other reasons, the barbarian army did not directly attack it.

The fact that the army did not move did not prevent the scouts from coming first.

This group of brutes is likely to be a scout.

As early as a few months ago, Chen Sanlang ordered each county town to form patrol teams to patrol the border and keep a close eye on the movements of the barbarian army. However, due to the lack of troops and the vastness of the area, it is impossible to do everything and defend without any flaws. Especially on the side of Wuping County, the terrain is mountainous and the population is sparse, and it is impossible to prevent it from being touched by the barbarian army.

After learning this, Chen Sanlang knew that in any case, recruiting troops and horses and strengthening defense are the top priorities, and raising soldiers and horses requires a lot of food.

It's still the same old saying: food is the sky!

After Chen Sanlang finished asking, Hong Tiezhu picked up the guy, strode to the shore, and threw him directly into the Tongtian River.

The fact that this thief is not dead is not enough to make people angry. Kill directly, for fear of staining your hands, simply solve it in the traditional way: throw it in the river to feed the fish!

The battle was won, and the wicked were killed, but the whole of Hongjia Village still could not be happy; they were originally isolated villagers with simple hearts, but how could they have encountered these incidents? In Hong Ada's words: "The way of the world has changed, and there is nowhere to hide!"

Chen Sanlang asked, "Uncle A, what are your plans?"

Hong Ah smiled bitterly: "What can you do? ”

Hong Tiezhu next to him was squatting with his head drooping, his face was full of depression, the dead young and strong were all his partners who had played since childhood, and this blow was not a big blow.

Chen Sanlang said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about going out to live?"

"Outside?"

Hong Ah was stunned and sighed: "I heard that there is a shortage of soldiers outside, if you go out, won't you kill yourself?"

"That's not what I said!"

Ah Wu on the side spoke: "Now that the people of Laoshan Mansion live and work in peace and contentment, you will definitely have a good place to go when you go out." ”

Hong Ada's face was dazed, and he didn't seem very clear. After thinking about it, he sighed: "We have lived here in a village for generations, and we have never lived outside, so I am afraid it is difficult to adapt to it." ”

Chen Sanlang said: "But at the moment, you can't even catch fish, how can you stay here?"

This sentence poked Hong Ada's life, yes, I can't even eat, how can I live?

"Uncle, why don't we go out and break through and see what happens?"

Hong Tiezhu spoke, after all, he is a young man, and his thinking is not as rigid and fixed as the older generation.

Hong Ada's face changed uncertainly, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Chen Sanlang knew that this matter should not be rushed, and there was no need to be in a hurry, and let the people of Hongjia Village discuss it and make a decision.

When a person dies, he naturally has to do something after him, carrying the coffin and burying the person, and not mentioning the sadness.

Yesterday Chen Sanlang fished, there are still a lot of left, yesterday were killed and dried up, due to the lack of salt, can not be salted, fortunately in the winter cold, food storage is not easy to perish, but put for a long time, will eventually deteriorate.

Hong Ah made all the fish, steamed or stewed, and let the whole village eat them. Some of the old people in the village are still suspicious, and some people even say that it is precisely because they ate the fish in the turtle pond yesterday, which led to the punishment of the gods, that today's disaster will occur.

Hong Tiezhu was very angry about this, and muttered: "The rumor in Guitan is that whoever eats the fish suffers, but the young people who can be killed basically don't eat the fish, on the contrary, Chen Sanlang and others who eat the fish are safe." ”

At that, the old men were speechless. In the final analysis, Hong Ada, an old man and a young man, are the most prestigious people in the village, and they make an exception, and no one else is easy to talk to. When smelling the fragrant smell of fish, many people can't bear it, they are hungry, eat some wild vegetable porridge at once, and their mouths fade out of the birds, and they can't resist the temptation and confusion of deliciousness.

There are many people, and if they divide it, there will only be one or two pieces of meat for each person. But meat is meat after all, and when you bite into it, it's extraordinarily delicious.

The villagers also muttered that they would get more fish tomorrow.

Hong Ah Da listened over there, full of bitterness, if Chen Sanlang didn't come out of the horse, let alone more fish, there might not be one, let's drink wild vegetable porridge.

It was night, the night was deep, suddenly lightning and thunder, the sky was full of electric snakes with teeth and claws, and the thunder was rolling, which was extremely terrifying. Not long after, a downpour fell - it was really like a basin of water poured down, such a heavy rain, it is rare to see it in a hundred years.

After this rain, the water of the Tongtian River immediately swelled, the waves were stormy, and the loud noises came ashore, and the people of Hongjia Village, who were hiding in the house, were all a little frightened and very uneasy. There are timid old men who have already knelt on the ground, kowtowing and praying for the protection of the Bodhisattva. Some people were wondering if it was because the whole village had eaten the fish from the turtle pond, so the gods were angry and wanted to punish them!

In the house, Chen Sanlang responded, Huo Ran got up, opened the door and went out.
