MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 705 Extra limbs (15)
Boss Zhou prepared a lot of things to say in order to persuade them. In the end, he opened his mouth and nodded flatly: "Don't worry, Boss Zhou, we understand that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
Lele: "And we all consider ourselves to be gentlemen."
An An: "It's so dangerous, and those pirates are desperados. We just stay in Guanghaiwei, and we won't go out to sea to find pirates desperately."
After thinking about it for two nights, the words of advice that I came up with after searching with my brothers were suffocated in my stomach before I could say it.
Boss Zhou felt uncomfortable as if he was holding a sigh of relief in his chest. He looked at the three brothers and sisters accusingly. Can't you wait for him to persuade and then nod your head in agreement?
The three brothers and sisters have happily gone to discuss the relief.
It is not far from Zhaoqing to Guanghaiwei. The group set off early the next day and arrived at noon on the third day.
Guanghaiwei is only a small county, but because there are naval forces stationed here, it is designated as a middle county. Because it is close to the sea and has a natural port, even if there are few fields here and the land is barren, the people here are still living well.
But now the entire county town is full of rust, and there are still bloodstains on the bluestone slabs in the county town. Because of time, the bloodstains are black and red.
When the pirates attacked the county town, General Xu and the magistrate Tao of Guang Haiwei only had time to open the city gate on the other side and let the people escape on their own, but because the time was too short, there were too few people who were willing and able to escape.
And Xu Jie and Tao county magistrate died in the battle while defending the city, and the first ones to clean up after the pirates entered the city were the Xu residence and the county government. Xu Jie's only son who was in the army survived by chance, while Tao County's family was lucky. When the city gate was opened, his mother and her children all evacuated with the crowd. Only his wife and father stayed with him. Advance and retreat together.
Although the mother and son were weak, luckily all three sons and one daughter survived.
Today, Guang Haiwei is immersed in a sad atmosphere from top to bottom, every family is holding funerals, and the county magistrate who came from the capital is emergency relief.
But the soldiers transferred from Chaotang are still on their way, and the pirates may come back at any time, and he can't keep anyone.
In addition, the nearby villages were all looted, and there were too many victims in need of relief. Even with the help of nearby counties, it would be difficult for Guanghaiwei to recover.
If the supplies can still be found, either transferred from other places or bought from merchants, then the grief of the loss of relatives and homes is not something they can find a way to calm down.
So even though it had been over twenty days, the three sisters and brothers still felt a depressing atmosphere when they entered the city.
Looking at Guang Haiwei, who was in ten rooms and nine empty places, with a numb face like a wandering soul, the three sisters and brothers couldn't help but straighten their faces, and got off their horses and walked in slowly.
Boss Zhou couldn't help but get serious and sighed: "Time is the best medicine for trauma, I just hope they can recover as soon as possible."
An An pursed the corners of their mouths tightly and did not speak. They were all still young and had never experienced life and death. This was the first time they faced such tragic and sadness.
Qin Wu spent a lot of energy to find an inn that was still open in Guanghaiweizhong. After moving in, he found that the owner was also holding funerals, so they didn't provide anything except the main room.
But the kitchen and the lobby were all used by them. The owner tied a white cloth around his waist and took them to the room. He pointed to a few rooms at random and said, "Nuo, live wherever you want."
Boss Zhou hurriedly took out a dime of silver and put it in his hand, and asked, "We saw many rivers and lakes and merchants coming this way on the way here. Are they not in Guanghaiwei?"
The shopkeeper then looked up at them, his eyes slid over Zhong Dalang's weapons, his face softened, "They are not in Guanghaiwei, but on the beach 28 miles away from Guanghaiwei, which was set up by the official army. The defense line, Jianghu people go there to kill pirates, and merchants go there to do business. There are not many people in Guanghaiwei, and those merchants can’t sell what they bring, and the food and medicinal materials we need most are too high, unless Sell the land and sell the house, otherwise where will the money come from to buy these things?"
"But even if these are sold, it doesn't cost much, and now Guanghaiwei's fields and houses are worthless," the owner said sadly: "We can only live on the government's relief, and it's good if we don't starve to death. already."
After saying that, he sighed and left.
The three sisters and brothers looked at each other, and An An whispered: "Go to the county magistrate tomorrow to talk about the relief. We don't bring many things, but we can help a lot of people."
Pingping and Lele have no opinion at all.
Relief doesn’t just need to be put on a table. They hope that this material can be used for those who need it the most, and the one who knows the situation of the victims the most must be the Guanghaiwei County Government Office.
Fortunately, the official quality of the new county magistrate is not bad. He explained all the materials he sent and delivered them to the victims.
On this joint, he didn't dare to violate the ban, let alone the imperial court, even the Jianghu people who stayed in Guanghaiwei could kill him.
The county magistrate didn't want to cooperate with these bandit Jianghu people, but there are thousands of pirates squatting at sea, and they may make a comeback at any time, and the soldiers sent by the imperial court have not yet arrived, and he and the people of Guanghaiwei really need them. protection by force.
Seeing that the three brothers and sisters who came to deliver the supplies were all extravagant, he was very happy to receive them. He didn't think that the three brothers and sisters were from the rivers and lakes, and it could be seen from their temperament that they were not.
Seeing that the county magistrate was able to arrange the supplies, An An gave the things to him with confidence, and then took his younger brothers out of the city.
Can't go to dangerous tidal flats and seas, but they still want to know more about pirates so that they can do research in the future.
The atmosphere of Guang Haiwei was too oppressive. They didn't dare to ask the residents here about the weapons used by the pirates, their fighting methods, and discipline. They could only go outside to find them.
The county knew that the disaster situation in Changfu Village was relatively light, so they decided to go there to see, maybe the atmosphere there would be better.
So a group of people went out of the city and headed northeast. After walking about 30 miles, they saw a small fishing village. A few people looked at each other and smiled, and they were about to go immediately. Isn't it just the time of application now, neither at noon nor at night, why do you light a fire at this time?"
Boss Zhou raised his neck and looked around. Sure enough, he saw thick smoke rising from Changfu Village.
Lele stared, "Could it be a pirate?"
An An: "Are they making a comeback?"
The voice just fell, and the three sisters and brothers had already shot out with a kick, and quickly went to Changfu Village.
Boss Zhou stretched out his hand to stop it, but he couldn't stop it, he could only chase after him with the whip: "Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, didn't you say that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, you want to be a gentleman , let's go back first to move rescue soldiers and let the government handle it."
Lele: "When you go back to rescue the soldiers, all the people will have been killed!"
Pingping: "We are gentlemen, but gentlemen can't wait to die, so let's save people first and then leave the dangerous wall."
An An: "If you have the time to speak, hurry up and run..."
The group hurried to Changfu Village, only to hear the roars of men and the screams of women, the cries of children and the weeping of old people.
Pingping had already quickly glanced at the terrain of Changfu Village, and with the homework he had done before he came, he quickly took over the command from his sister and ordered: "Zhong Dalang takes Qin Wu to Hou Village, and try to evacuate the villagers as much as possible. Hou Er and An Liu entered the village from the side, rescued people from the pirates, and told the villagers to hide nearby, Uncle Zhou, you lead them in from the front, we will enter from the other side..."
Boss Zhou heard that they were the main attacker, and the three An An sisters and brothers breathed a sigh of relief from the side. They responded without thinking, and left quickly after Zhong Dalang and the others left.
It wasn't until halfway through that he came back to his senses. No, their main task is to protect the three brothers and sisters. Now that they are all dimmed, who will protect them?
But when he turned around, he realized that the three brothers and sisters had already walked away, and had already touched the village from the side.
Boss Zhou gritted his teeth, forget it, then they will attract firepower from the front, hoping to attract all the pirates.
The three brothers and sisters had already touched the side of the village. The three of them jumped off their horses and quietly floated into the village with light energy.
An'an's kung fu aside, Pingping and Lele's kung fu is not very good, so the three of them set their main task from the beginning - sneak attack.
Only such agile tactics can be worthy of their dexterous posture.
He just floated down from the hillside when he saw two pirates laughing and pressing his daughter-in-law on the haystack. He was stunned, and the other person immediately screamed and said something they couldn't understand. He turned around to take his knife, and as soon as he turned his head, Lele was smashed by a big stone on his head, and he passed out.
Lele jumped back in fright when he saw that his head was full of blood.
The pinched little daughter-in-law screamed and jumped up. Pingping was hesitating between tapping her acupuncture point and comforting her, when she saw the little daughter-in-law screaming "ahhh", while jumping up and grabbing the big knife on the ground with a "poof" Plunge into the pirate's stomach.
Hai Kou woke up in pain, opened his eyes and saw his little daughter-in-law, his eyes widened.
Seeing the pirates wake up, the little daughter-in-law was frightened, and even screamed, but her hands were even more ruthless, usually screaming and stabbing a knife on him.
The pirate who woke up was stabbed to death before he could make a sound.
It was the first time that the three brothers and sisters saw someone who died so tragically. They turned pale with fright and took a step back together.
The little daughter-in-law was also obviously frightened. Her hand holding the knife trembled, but she still didn't throw the knife away. She turned her head woodenly to the side of the pirate who was knocked unconscious by An An, and even if she didn't want to, she stepped forward and aimed a knife in his heart.
An'an's face was pale, but she still swallowed her saliva and gave her little daughter-in-law a thumbs up, admiringly said, "Good job!"
Pingping and Lele also think she is strong enough, but they are still afraid. The two of them couldn't bear to turn their heads to the side, just to see a few sticks with thick arms not far from the haystack.
They feel that the stick may be more in line with their temperament and identity.
