Uncle Jiu lowered his head in thought for a while and suddenly woke up and said: "I remembered. I originally wanted to go to Tanjia Village, but I heard that Mr. Xu's home had been occupied by others to build a house, so I didn't go there again..."
"I also thought of Master. We were very worried at that time, fearing that these horse bandits would come to Renjia Town to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, they did not come. As time went by, I forgot about this matter."
Qiu Sheng said from the side.
"Why, these horse bandits are back again?" Wen Cai asked with some fear after hearing this.
"Yes, not only are they back, I heard they are planning to loot Renjia Town, and the time is tonight!" Awei said nonstop.
Uncle Jiu's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stood up and asked, "Is the source of the information reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable, Uncle Jiu, this is the news that was sent to me from a town not far away that was just ransacked. Some survivors overheard him.
According to our conversation, we said that our town, Renjia, is the richest, and their next target is ours." Awei said eagerly.
"In that case, call together the young and strong men in the village and let's hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the horse bandits."
Uncle Jiu said to Qiu Shengwencai with his hands behind his back: "You go and notify people with Captain Ah Wei, and don't forget to call Feng Yi from home."
"Yes, Master."
While everyone was busy, Uncle Jiu was pacing back and forth in the tea house with his hands behind his back, but he felt extremely weird in his heart.
Tanjia Village is not very far from Renjia Town. Since this group of bandits dared to rob and kill in Tanjia Village, why did they abandon Renjia Town?
After two years, why did these horse bandits come back again?
There seems to be something weird here.
An hour later, Awei Qiusheng and Wencai both came back. Awei said: "Uncle Jiu, as long as all the young people in the town who are over 16 years old and have no illness or injury have been notified, they are waiting outside."
Wencai said to Uncle Jiu: "Master, we just went back to Yizhuang to find our junior brother, but my aunt said that our junior brother has not returned."
Qiusheng added on the side: "Some people saw him leaving Renjia Town with a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and heading to a nearby village."
Uncle Jiu frowned, then quickly relaxed and said: "We have been delayed outside for a long time. Maybe there is a problem in a nearby village and they have been waiting for us to come back.
It must be that someone came to Feng Yi to ask for help before he even entered the house. In order not to disturb us, he went to solve the problem alone, right?
In this case, let’s not wait for him, let’s hold a meeting with everyone first to discuss how to deal with the bandits’ attack at night.”
I have to say that Uncle Jiu is Lao Jianghu after all. After connecting a few small nodes and making a simple guess, the guess is right.
"Awei, the horse bandits are attacking fiercely, but we know nothing about them, so head-on confrontation is not possible. We still have to set up defenses in advance." Uncle Jiu thought for a while and said.
"Yes, yes, uncle Jiu, I mean the same thing." Nope.
I don’t know if Ah Wei took it to heart, but he nodded repeatedly, seeming to acknowledge it.
Uncle Jiu was speechless at Ah Wei's performance and ignored him. He continued: "Since the horse bandits are attacking, they might send people to attack the outpost. Let's do this. All the shops will be closed tonight and every household will not turn on the lights.
, see if any unfamiliar faces appear;
In addition, all the young people in the town are hiding in a few inns, and two smart people are sent to look out in advance, and they will rush back to inform as soon as there is news."
"Yes, yes, uncle Jiu is right."
Ah Wei clapped his hands and said: "Uncle Jiu and I have the same idea, but we haven't organized the language yet...
It doesn’t matter, as long as you are here, I won’t be afraid of more horse bandits.”
Uncle Jiu shook his head speechlessly, while Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai rolled their eyes.
When it comes to dog licking, Awei, you are second, who dares to be first?
Because it was Uncle Jiu’s suggestion, the villagers in the town were very cooperative.
, Those who opened their doors closed early, and those who did not do business returned home early, turned off the lights, and waited for news.
Awang, the owner of the Bohe Inn, even vacated the entire inn, leaving it to Uncle Jiu and his friends as the "main battlefield."
There are no eggs left after the nest is overturned. Helping them means helping yourself. It doesn't matter if you make less money. If you lose your life, you will lose everything.
So at midnight, the streets of the prosperous Renjia Town were already deserted, and every household had turned off their lights. Only a few street lights were left on the road, swaying gently in the breeze, which looked particularly eerie, like
Empty city.
Wen Cai, who was hiding in the lobby of the Baohe Inn, leaned closely next to Qiu Sheng and said in a worried voice: "Why hasn't Master come back yet?"
"Isn't this nonsense? It is related to the safety of the entire town. Of course the master has to patrol the town." Qiu Sheng became more confident after starting Taoism. Seeing Wen Cai being so timid, he scolded him angrily.
"Also, there is Feng Yi. He is alone. If he encounters a horse bandit on the way..."
Before Wen Cai finished speaking, Qiu Sheng immediately interrupted him and said: "If you are worried about Feng Yi, it is better to worry about the safety of the horse bandits. Once he encounters them, these horse bandits will not recover at all."
After getting started, Qiu Sheng realized how difficult it was to improve the skills. He worked hard to reach the first level of the basic training method. His improvement was extremely obvious. Feng Yi was already at the fifth level of the basic training method. So what if he was an ordinary horse bandit?
May be his opponent.
Seeing Qiu Sheng say this, Wen Cai knew that his worries were unnecessary and nodded honestly.
"Shh, shut up, someone is coming." Ah Wei, who was observing the situation outside, said to the people behind him.
"How many people are here?" Qiu Sheng perked up and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm... one, but he looks sneaky, maybe he is a spy for the horse bandits." Ah Wei said with some uncertainty.
"If he is really a spy, he will never come back." Qiu Sheng said with excitement in his eyes.
Soon, a man with a shabby figure wearing a straw hat appeared.
At the entrance of the inn, everyone was holding their breath and preparing to catch turtles in a jar.
The man knocked lightly on the door of the inn, and with a creak, the unlocked door opened directly.
The man was stunned, then turned around and looked around, and then he bravely walked into the inn. After entering, he didn't say anything. He just stretched his head and looked around at the dark door of the inn. Everyone who had been prepared immediately immediately
Light the torches and surround him.
The man's face changed greatly, and just as he was about to speak, a knife slashed on his hat. He turned around to run away, and another knife chopped off the tip of his straw hat. He let out a sound, and another knife slashed directly.
He chopped off his straw hat, leaving only a circle of straw rope around his head, which looked particularly funny.
Ah Wei, as the captain of the security team, did his duty, holding a kitchen knife in one hand and grabbing the man's neck from behind with the other hand...
