Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang finally calmed down her aura and said:
"Everyone! Follow my arrangements!"
After that, he called out all the men in the team. There were eleven people in total including Xu Da, and assigned tasks to them in an orderly manner.
Wang didn't expect these villagers to understand the reasons for her arrangement, so she just told them what they needed to do.
Simple instructions are indeed effective. Although the men don't know why they do what they do, they all remember what they want to do.
After arranging the main force, Wang looked at the five women in Dawang Village. Tong, who had a child, and Qiu, another woman who was on the verge of death, were left to take care of their four children.
The remaining three people took the weapons they thought they had and followed her.
Finally, Wang saw the Xu Yue brothers and sisters and asked seriously: "Can you protect yourself?"
Xu Yue nodded, Xu Erniang also nodded, and both sisters said there was no problem.
"Well, you and the other children can find a hidden place to hide, and the rest of you can get their weapons and follow me!"
Wang raised her arms and quickly ran towards the pond without looking back.
Tong and Qiu were stunned for a moment by his decisiveness and sharpness in leaving the child alone without saying a word.
However, Xu Yue puffed up her little chest proudly and was finally treated as an adult by her mother-in-law.
Although there are many people at the pond, she has absolute confidence in A Niang!
"The grass on the left is thick and the terrain is high. If we hide there, we can still see the situation over the pond." Xu Erniang suggested.
She said this to Xu Yue, and she didn't seem to have any intention of taking care of Tong and others.
Xu Yue motioned for Tong and others to follow. The two sisters, like adults, used Wang's sharpened walking stick to open up the grass and walked up the slope while knocking.
Even the young man following them looked calm, as if he wasn't worried at all about the situation at the pond.
Mrs. Qiu was amazed in her heart. Then she looked at the thin child in her arms who was sucking her fingers from hunger. She looked at each other and they followed Xu Yue with the five-year-old Wang family aunt and another nine-year-old boy.
The footsteps of the three siblings.
As soon as a few people crouched down and hid in the hidden grass, they heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the open space at the foot of the hillside.
Someone seemed to be injured, screaming and wailing, and various sounds were mixed together, making Xu Yue nervous.
The grass was tall and deep. Crouching in the grass, Xu Yue couldn't even move the grass in front of her to look down.
But there was the sound of running not far away, and it was impossible to tell whether it was an enemy or a friend. I didn't dare to stand up at all, so I could only endure this invisible torture silently.
But not long after, she heard her mother-in-law’s order: “Don’t chase the poor bandits.”
It seems like they won the battle for the pond.
"Young girl!"
Wang shouted from the bottom of the slope. Xu Yue stood up from the grass excitedly and saw Wang smiling and waving to her, "Come down!"
Xu Yue was so happy that she hurriedly called her brothers, sisters, and the Tong family to rush to the pond.
Xu Dalang saw that she had not grown tall enough, so he grabbed Xu Yue with his long arms and jumped down the hillside with Xu Yue in his arms.
When Xu Yue came to her senses, she had been brought to the waterside by Xu Dalang.
I saw Xu Dalang jumping into the pond and drinking a lot of water like a starved ghost reincarnated. Xu Yue was so frightened that Xu Yue hurriedly pulled him away.
"Brother, don't drink raw water!"
However, Xu Dalang had already drank it. He pushed her hand away and handed a handful of joy to her. He urged unskilledly: "He (drink)!
The water in the young man's palm was translucent, and a green grass clipping fell into it, making the water even more clear and moist.
Xu Yue swallowed hard, her sanity almost collapsing.
However, the animals in the pond are also drinking water from the mountains. Is it really okay to drink it raw like this?
Looking at the villagers of Dawang Village who drank the water directly from their hands, and the Tong family who came later and fed their children with the water directly from their hands, Xu Yue couldn't help but wonder if she was being too pretentious.
Xu Dalang passed his palm forward again, almost to Xu Yue's mouth.
Who can withstand this!
Xu Yue finally couldn't help but stuck out her tongue and took a sip. When she tasted the refreshing taste, she couldn't control it. She held her brother's hand and drank hard.
After drinking a handful of water, it was not enough, so I drank another handful and burped directly.
This kind of moisture secreted randomly by saliva made Xu Yue feel like she was alive again, so comfortable that she wanted to lie down.
But I also knew that if I lay down now, I might not be able to get up. I knelt down by the pond, picked up a handful of water and patted my face. The cool water dissipated the heat, and I felt much more awake.
Xu Yue turned around and looked at the open space. The previous group of victims were beaten and fled by her aunt and her men. They were boiling water for cooking and had no time to take away these things. A pile of pots and pans were left on the spot.
The villagers in Dawang Village were so happy that they immediately divided the food that was being cooked in the pot.
Xu Yue saw that her father, with quick eyes and quick hands, directly picked up a pot and raised his eyebrows proudly as if asking for credit.
However, Aniang's face did not show the same joy as the others, but her face looked a little ugly.
She looked at the people of Dawang Village who were fighting over a pot of food, sighed, and turned her head away from looking at their chaos.
As long as no lives are involved, Wang has no intention of taking care of it now.
But she knew clearly that it was never a good thing to force her opponent into a desperate situation. After thinking for a moment, she walked towards Wang Dayou who had already grabbed half the pot of porridge and whispered a few words to him.
Xu Yue didn't know what the two said, but Wang Dayou quickly stood up and walked towards the villagers who were fighting.
He seemed to have some prestige among the villagers, so he called on several villagers who had already received food to break up the fight and divide the gruel equally.
Then, the group put down all the pots and pans they had snatched. Wang Dayou walked towards Mrs. Wang, and the two of them spoke a few more words.
He looked at Mr. Wang in surprise, then called the villagers, filled all the pots and pans with clean water, and placed the water and pots at the junction of the grass and the forest.
Mrs. Wang didn't even let go of what Xu Da was holding, but just transferred the porridge in the pot to the earthenware pot she brought with her.
Xu Da found it unbelievable.
Are the spoils of war still being returned?
Not only do you want to return it, but you also want to give it a head start?
Xu Yue didn't quite understand what A Niang was doing, but looking at the victims who were walking out of the forest one after another with wary faces, she suddenly understood something.
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, maybe because the feeling of hunger and thirst was too uncomfortable, the victims quickly ran out to take away the pots and water, and then quickly walked away.
Seeing those figures disappearing in the forest, Xu Da frowned and whispered to Wang in an unhappy tone for the first time:
"You are letting the tiger go back to the mountains."
Wang sneered coldly, "Have you ever seen such a thin tiger?"
