There were many fires appearing in the darkness, some distance away from the village.
After watching for a while, Liu Cheng was able to conclude that these flames were coming towards the village!
In the middle of the night, someone came. Judging from the number of torches, there should be quite a few people!
Liu Cheng immediately became alert.
He covered the still burning fire in a few moments, and while taking out the butcher knife from his waist, he shouted to Liu Shui and Liu Shui in a low voice: "Don't sleep! Get up quickly! There must be trouble."
Coming!"
The two of them were relatively young and were relatively dead when they slept. Liu Cheng yelled several times before he woke up.
After hurriedly learning about the situation from Liu Cheng, I was nervous for a while and didn't know what to do.
"You two blindfold the donkeys in the dark and tie their mouths to prevent them from braying.
After doing this, take the sword and hide carefully, I will take care of everything!"
Liu Cheng was surprisingly calm at this time.
He ordered this out loud.
Liu Cheng arranged the matter aloud, and Liu Shui and Liu Shui immediately had a backbone and quickly followed Liu Cheng's instructions.
"I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Chenggong emerged from the dilapidated house without waiting for the two to answer.
Not long ago, he was still doubting the identity of these visitors. After all, there was some light moon in the night sky at this time, and it was not completely dark. If the thieves came to attack the village, they probably would not light torches.
Otherwise, coming in such a arrogant way would expose oneself and fail to have the effect of a surprise attack?
But judging from the reactions of Liu Shui and Lu Yang after he woke them up just now, he had figured out the problem.
That is the people of this era. Because of poor food, most of them have night blindness!
It's not easy to see the road in such light!
…
"The bandits are coming!"
"The bandits are coming!"
In the silent night, the village, which was sleeping with other people, was suddenly awakened by such a sharp and extremely loud shout!
The dogs kept in captivity in the village barked, adding to the tense atmosphere at night.
After shouting twice in succession, Liu Cheng stopped talking. He was a little surprised by his loud voice.
Before this, he had never thought that when he shouted with all his strength, his voice would be so loud!!
However, in this case, loud sound is obviously a very advantageous condition.
He just shouted twice, and the whole village was already alerted!
Of course, the contribution of the barking and supporting dogs cannot be ignored.
"The bandits are here! To the south of the village!"
Liu Cheng shouted again, explaining the situation to those who had just woken up and were still a little confused.
At this time, many houses in the village were lit up with firelights, and many voices were heard, making it particularly chaotic.
Soon a man came out of the house carrying a weapon.
The world is not peaceful at this time, so people are careful when they go to bed at night. Especially this evening, there are three young people in the village whose identities are not very clear coming to stay, so they need to be even more careful.
Come.
That's why after someone called out that there was a thief, the response was so quick.
Moreover, their first reaction was that this was done by the three people who stayed in their village!
However, after they left the house, they discovered that things were different from what they and others thought.
The light of the torch came from the south of the village, and the person who sounded the warning was the one who seemed to be the most experienced among the three.
Perhaps because he saw the movement in the village and knew that the village in front of him was alert and had made certain preparations, the firelights that had been approaching the village stopped in place.
Even some of the fires went out.
Seeing this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the reason why he shouted loudly as a warning before.
The purpose is to let those with unknown origins see that the people here are alert and leave from here.
In this way, everyone's well water will not interfere with the river water, and everyone will be safe.
Liu Cheng didn't have any extra thoughts now. He just wanted to bring the pickled boss Cao's head to Luoyang safely and safely with the Lu family, who had already been cared for. He would hand it over to Dong Zhuo in exchange for the capital to start a business.
, I don’t want any extraneous things.
But many times, it doesn't mean that if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will not come to you.
Just like now, just after Liu Cheng and the people in the village breathed a sigh of relief, the flames started moving towards the village again!
And those torches that had just been extinguished were also relit while moving!
Compared with before, the speed has not dropped, but has become much faster!
The gathered villagers immediately became panicked when they saw this scene...
"Don't panic! Behind you are your relatives, your wives, children, and children! If you run away at this time, your family members will die! It's better to fight!"
Liu Cheng discovered this situation and quickly issued a warning.
If it was just him, in this case, he would just leave. But there are still Liu Shui and Lu Yang. If he leaves at this time, he will not be able to leave at all. There is a high probability that he will appear.
Some damage.
At this time, we still have to rely on the power of these people to protect our own people.
Being reminded by Liu Cheng, the villagers who were timid and wanted to leave suddenly became excited. Remembering these things, they gritted their teeth and stopped, standing here waiting for the bandits.
"Put out all the torches! Hide here, hide there! Hurry!"
Unknowingly, Liu Cheng, a foreigner who didn't look like an adult, actually became the backbone of these people.
He lowered his voice and hurriedly ordered, and the villagers who had no idea acted in accordance with his orders.
At this time, those firelights were closer to here.
Through the firelight, you can see the longing figures.
"I am Du Yuan, the great king of Nanshan, and I have come to borrow food from you. Please do not resist!
If you don't resist, you only need food, and you have nothing to do with waiting for autumn!
If you resist, none of you will survive!"
The fire was much closer to here, and when it stopped about two or three hundred steps away, one of the men on horseback shouted.
After the sound sounded, Liu Cheng could clearly feel some commotion among the people around him.
Before he had time to think about whether this Du Yuan was the Du Yuan he knew and was surprised by it, Liu Cheng felt that something was not good.
Because the words spoken by the bandit leader were so lethal to these villagers!
These villagers, who were already nervous and frightened, would most likely follow this man's words and choose to surrender...
