Early in the morning, many people gathered at the grain drying field in the center of the village.

It was the village chief who called everyone here to discuss how to deal with the bandits coming to Black Wolf Village tomorrow.

"Dad, let's just fight with them. We don't have enough food ourselves, so what can we give them?" Ma Linling stood up immediately.

"Stand back, what do you, a little girl, know? Those are bandits. What are we going to do with them? If we don't give them food, they will kill people and burn down the village!" the village chief scolded.

As the head of a village, he felt angry and helpless. After paying taxes, the villagers did not have much food, and they had to suffer from bandits. This life was simply impossible.

Moreover, in previous years, the bandits were still around the autumnal equinox, but now it is not autumn yet. Why are those bandits coming? Isn’t this going to cost them their lives?

Ma Lingling frowned, unwilling to stand back.

She felt that she was too obedient to the bandits every year, so the bandits thought it was natural to loot them.

If everyone in the village works together and beats away the bandits once, they will definitely not dare to loot again.

As if he knew what his daughter was thinking, the village chief immediately said in a deep voice, "You don't know, twenty years ago, Wanglin Village resisted the bandits and beat away the bandits who came to collect grain. As a result, the whole village was destroyed.

The bandits killed them all, looted them all, and burned them all, and even now, the village is still deserted!"

Ma Linling's expression changed. She really didn't know about this. The village was far away. She only knew that the village was a deserted village. She thought it had suffered some natural disaster.

The expressions of some other young people in the village also changed.

After all, young people can hear very little about what happened twenty years ago.

Only the old people in the village were silent.

"Dad, but that was twenty years ago after all. Besides, the bandits of twenty years are not the same group as today..." Ma Linling wanted to say something else.

The village chief interrupted her mercilessly, "Shut up! Do you know that the world is more chaotic now than it was twenty years ago? If you don't want the village to suffer, then don't speak!"

Ma Tiezhu, the village chief's son and Ma Lingling's eldest brother, immediately pulled his sister back.

"Mei, just stop saying a few words. You, a girl, are not allowed to interrupt in this kind of thing."

"What's wrong with girls? Are they not human beings?" Ma Lingling felt aggrieved. Her father had never scolded her before.

Just because she is a girl, she said some things that men dare not say.

"Uncles, what do you think?" The village chief didn't bother to pay attention to his daughter, and just asked a few elderly people in the village.

The old people pondered for a long time, "Hand it, what else can you do? If every household can get it out evenly, just do it out evenly. If you really can't get it out, you can dig some wild vegetables in the soil. Damn those

The bandits are inhumane!"

The village chief nodded and had no choice but to do this.

"Should we ask the government for help?" an old man said suddenly.

"Can the government defeat the bandits? Even if they can win, they will not take care of this kind of thing. Bandits happen every year. In which year have they taken care of it?"

"They say that a family of officials and bandits should not have such hope."

Several old people shook their heads one after another.

The old man from before sighed, "It's impossible to live in this world!"

"You have to live even if you can't live!"

The village chief also sighed and raised his hands to let everyone disperse and go home to collect food.

“Actually, you don’t need to raise food!”

Suddenly a voice came.

Ma Linling immediately recognized Li Qian's voice.

Seeing Li Qian slowly walking over, she also turned her head away.

She said she didn't want to see this bastard if she didn't want to see him.

"Li Qian, what did you mean by what you just said?" The village chief asked with a frown, "You asked everyone not to raise food, are you waiting to be killed by bandits?"

Others also looked at Li Qian strangely.

"Because the bandits are coming soon, even if everyone goes to collect food now, it will be too late!" Li Qian said.

"What? The bandits are coming soon, didn't they say tomorrow?"

"What can we do now?"

The people in the village immediately became a mess.

"Everyone, be quiet first!" the village chief immediately shouted, "How could Li Qian know that the bandits are coming today? Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

Yes, how did Li Qian know that the bandits were coming today?
