Chapter 1088 Does koi bring blessing or disaster (40)
In the last life, Chen Daya hid out and did not witness it with her own eyes. She only heard that there were at least a hundred bandits coming, and they were more unscrupulous than in previous years. When they entered the village, they robbed everything, including women. Anyone who dared to
Stop him, then go up and kill him.
They burned them if they couldn't take them away. There were countless casualties in Weishan Village. During the Chinese New Year, many houses hung up white flags. Throughout the New Year, almost every house cried.
Against hundreds of bandits who are well-armed and murderous without blinking an eye, even if there are twice as many villagers, they will not be able to defeat the enemy head-on.
Zihua had people make more wolves and put them out. When fighting the bandits, the first consideration was to keep distance and ensure their own safety.
Another principle is that victory depends on numbers. Yuhua taught the villagers a simple and effective move to defeat the enemy. This move requires a group of three people, each holding a wolf spear, to fight against a bandit. Don't pay attention to the lethality, just go for it.
The bandit asked him to make as many cuts as he could to allow the medicine to enter the bandit's body.
As for manpower, except for young and strong men, Zihua does not regard women as protected persons. Most women in the village have to do a lot of farm work every day, and some are no less powerful than adult men.
She also organized powerful women and asked them to participate in the fight against the enemy.
Both men and women do so voluntarily.
Women who grew up in the mountains walk on the mountain trails every day. Most of them are in good health, have a more aggressive temperament, and are as heroic as any man. Before Zihua organized the group, there were people who wanted to fight bandits with her.
As soon as Zihua called for a meeting, twenty or thirty people suddenly came.
Zhou Dafang was the first to respond to Zi Hua's call. She took her sister-in-law and helped Zi Hua convince other hesitant women, "If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about our children. Bandits can be
No matter whether you are a child or an adult, you will not be able to escape if you hit it. Think of Shangpo Village seven or eight years ago, and think of Zamishan Village ten years ago."
It's not uncommon to hear about which caravan the bandits robbed, how many people they killed, and even children as young as two or three years old were spared.
Although bandits generally do not kill many people when they enter a village, it is not unheard of for bandits to come to a village and kill a lot of people. Eight years ago, bandits went to Shangpo Village and started killing people as soon as they entered the village.
More than thirty people died, five of whom were children under seven years old.
Seven or eight years have passed, and many people's memories of what happened in Shangpo Village have become blurry. They only remember the impression that the bandits who entered the village in recent years did not kill many people.
When Zihua heard Zhou Dafang mention the incident in Shangpo Village, her heart was moved. She made arrangements, went to find Jiao Qizhong, and asked him what unusual things happened before Shangpo Village was robbed and massacred by bandits eight years ago.
Jiao Qizhong knew what she was going to ask as soon as he heard it, and said, "There were bandits in Weishan in the past, but they were not popular. Later, bandits came from nowhere. They were so numerous and powerful that they occupied a large area.
territory.
The government went to clean up the area, but failed repeatedly. Either no one could be found, or they were beaten to death by the bandits. As time went by, the people in the government became powerless against the bandits.
Bandits are very smart. They only go down the mountain when they are robbing things. The rest of the time they stay in the mountains and do not cause trouble in towns. The government is not very active in cracking down on bandits.
Eight years ago, when the new prefect took office, he and the garrison generals went to clear out the mountain bandits. However, the news got out somewhere and the bandits had already escaped. The government and the army returned without success.
As soon as the government officials left, the bandits came back again. At the end of the year, the bandits entered Shangpo Village and started killing people. They were demonstrating to the government that if they dared to come and suppress the village, they would take revenge on the surrounding villages."
It coincides with what Yuhua thought.
In the previous life, Weishan Village was massacred by bandits, which was inseparable from Lu Linxuan. The bandits probably discovered or guessed Lu Linxuan's identity and took revenge on Weishan Village.
Although it is not an exaggeration to die a hundred times for the bandits, Lu Linxuan had just come to inquire about the bandits, so he would know how the bandits would retaliate against the government's suppression.
His investigation failed and he was discovered by bandits, but no effective remedial measures were taken.
He could choose to order his troops to immediately encircle and suppress the bandits, or to protect the villages, even to remind them of their integrity, so that they could be prepared.
But he didn't do anything, he just hid it.
Zhou Hua knew what Lu Linxuan was thinking. He was born in a noble family and had a noble status. The lives of the villagers had no weight in his mind. If he died, he would die. He was not the one who killed him and it had nothing to do with him.
In his last life, Lu Linxuan never came to clear out the bandits, and he gilded the place peacefully. Three years later, he was transferred back to the capital and joined the Wucheng Division, as if the tragedy in Weishan Village had nothing to do with him.
…
After Lu Linxuan was settled, Chen Daya returned to the village and saw a noisy scene in the village.
Some people were carrying bamboo down from the mountain, and several people in the Luogan Mountain area were chopping and planing bamboo pieces.
There were people in twos and threes everywhere, stabbing back and forth with long bamboo poles.
Chen Daya heard someone say that this kind of long bamboo pole was a weapon Hua Yuerou came up with to deal with bandits.
The Liao family is the residence of the general, and she has never seen any kind of weapons. Using a bamboo pole as a weapon is really ridiculous, so Hua Yuerou just deceived these ignorant villagers.
Against bandits, their death will be even worse.
After the bandits leave, Hua Yuerou will be torn to pieces by the surviving people, or she will be whipped to pieces even if she dies.
There was a sneer on her lips, and she was looking at these people like a fool. Unexpectedly, her eyes met with those of Zihua. Chen Daya took a sharp breath, and her heart was beating like a drum, and she hurriedly looked away.
Come back.
She had to admit it even though she didn't want to admit it. From the bottom of her heart, she was afraid of Hua Yuerou, afraid that Hua Yuerou would beat her, and afraid that Hua Yuerou would expose her.
If she can't become Liao Fangfei, her whole life will be ruined.
Fortunately, they were far away, so Chen Daya lowered her head and ran back home.
Weihua has no feelings for Chen Daya.
In the previous life, Chen Daya pretended to be the original owner after his death, so it did little harm to the original owner. Regarding Chen Daya's attempt to impersonate the original owner in this life, Zihua's attitude was to let her go.
As long as Chen Daya can pretend for the rest of her life, that's all she can do.
Zihua didn't want to go to the capital to recognize her relatives.
The Liao family is not a very good place to go. If she accepts her marriage, it will only bring restraint to her.
She exists in this dynasty and always has to take into account the rules of this dynasty.
It is better to stay in Weishan Village than to go to Liao's house.
Under the premise of not harming Chen Daya's soul as much as possible, the memory she read was not complete, but it was enough for her to make a decision.
In the last life, Chen Wenlu got a valuable jade lock of unknown origin from Song Ming, and also found out that Song Sheng's sister was working as a housekeeper in General Liao's mansion in the capital, so he kept an eye on it.
Under his threatening questioning, He Zhenniang said that Song Yuerou was not her and Song Sheng's biological daughter.
