Chapter 223 'Flood'

Heavy snow freezes, thousands of miles of snow.

In Tianmen Village by Tianmen Lake, Dong Jinrui organized people to break the ice and fish.People in Guifang Kingdom are only good at herding, not fishing.

And hard-working Dagan people will do anything to eat them.The big net made of hemp rope is more than one mile long, and with winches and horses, it can catch tens of thousands of catties of big fish at one time.

When the net was lowered, dozens of horses were pulling it, and it took a long time to pull all the fish in the net.

But when everyone looked at these fish, they were happy because they couldn't finish eating them.

The road is blocked by heavy snow, and the fish cannot be transported to the county town for sale.

Dong Jinrui smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, we'll make these fish into dried fish and sell them next spring."

That's the only way to go. Fortunately, there is enough wood. We build a drying room and send all the fish to dry.

It's just that they are happy fishing, but the nine princes in the water are not happy.

"The humans on the shore really regard this place as their own? Dare to catch me tens of thousands of catties of fish this time?" The Ninth Prince said angrily.

A shrimp soldier beside him said, "Jiu Ye, these humans are too hateful, should we scare them."

The Ninth Prince thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's good to scare them, let them know that this is not an ownerless thing, even the incense is not willing to give it a bite, just want to catch our fish!"

When the shrimp soldier heard this, he naturally withdrew.

Not long after, he gathered some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and then swam towards the surface of the water aggressively.

When they reached the surface of the water, they were blocked by a thick layer of ice, so these shrimp soldiers and crabs began to dig the ice surface with a 'bang bang bang'.

It was night, and there was silence by Tianmen Lake, and the sound of "bang kuang ci" spread far to Tianmen Village.

Dong Jinrui, who was sleeping with his wife in his arms, was startled awake when he heard the sound.He got up from the fur quilt, then put on his clothes and walked out the door.

At this time, the neighbors also heard the sound of "Kang kuang ci", and a dozen men were also awakened.

They looked at each other, then followed the sound with weapons and torches in hand.

More than a dozen people walked on the thick ice with torches.It didn't take long to come to the place where the sound came from.

So everyone lit the torches and saw that there were some goblins digging ice under the water.When they came, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals had almost carved out the ice surface.When the shrimp soldiers and crabs saw the humans holding torches, they immediately shouted: "Everyone work hard, these humans are here!"

As for Dong Jinrui and the others on the ice, they also shouted, "It's not good, the goblins are about to charge up."

Everyone was shocked, and immediately took up weapons to arm themselves.

At this time, there was only a bang on the ice surface, and a dozen shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed out at once.

They are tall and hold halberds polished by coral and lake stones in their hands.He pointed the weapon at Dong Jinrui and the others in one fell swoop.

According to Xia Bing's thinking, they came to scare these people, say some cruel words, set fire to the house, and keep them away from the lake!
But these people in front of them are not weak people.

Can a person who dares to travel all the way here to open up wasteland be a coward?A dozen people looked at each other, and Dong Jinrui immediately shouted: "Set fire, retreat!"

After he said this, a dozen people untied the water bags around their waists, cut them with a knife, and threw them out.

These water bladders are not filled with water, but kerosene.In Tianmen County, where the weather is cold and freezing, kerosene is a must-have for every household. This kind of kerosene does not freeze in winter, it burns when it encounters fire, and it is also resistant to wind and water.It can only be extinguished by burying it with sand.

With this kerosene, it is very convenient for everyone to light a fire, go out, and illuminate.When they came here to pioneer, Dong Jinrui and the others brought a lot of kerosene.

More than a dozen bags of water bladders were cut, and when they were thrown out, kerosene spurted out.

Dong Jinrui and the others had all been trained by the militia, and they threw the kerosene bags very accurately, and soon the ground of the dozen or so goblins was sprinkled with kerosene.

"Set fire!" Dong Jinrui immediately threw out his own torch when he saw it.

The torch was thrown out, and a shrimp soldier subconsciously interrupted the torch with the halberd in his hand.But the remains of the torch fell, and sparks immediately lit the kerosene.

With a bang, the kerosene was ignited, and a raging fire burned on the goblin.

When Dong Jinrui saw this, he immediately ran away with others.

It is unwise to fight these goblins here, only to go back and shake people.

More than a dozen people ran wildly, and the ignited shrimp soldiers and crabs screamed "嗤", and subconsciously jumped into the water.

After entering the water, the kerosene floats on the water surface and continues to burn, while the shrimp soldiers and crabs under the water will be blocked by the fire and will not be able to get up for a while.

But their hearts, at this moment, seemed to be a raging fire, and raging anger was also ignited.

Dong Jinrui took advantage of this time to run to the village and began to wake up the sleeping people. At this time, no matter men, women or children, they were all called up and began to issue weapons to protect themselves.

Anyone who dares to come here to pioneer, even a child, is bold.

Dong Jinrui immediately came to Xinniao's room, and immediately wrote a letter for Xinniao to take to the nearest post station.

With the heavy snow blocking the road, even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't escape far. They had to stay and resist.

Soon, the kerosene on the ice cave finally burned out, and a dozen shrimp soldiers and crabs jumped out of the water again.With sullen faces, they rushed towards Tianmen County with weapons in hand.

It turned out that they were going to scare them, but now they don't care!They want these humans to see how powerful they are!

Shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed over, seeing this scene, Dong Jinrui knew that this battle was inevitable.So he shouted loudly: "Brothers, we must protect our homeland, and we cannot let the results of our hard work for a year be destroyed by these goblins! Think about our family and children, we must stand up."

Even the slaves of Guifang Kingdom took up arms. They also knew that if the goblin rushed in, they didn't care who you were, they would kill you.

When the shrimp soldiers got closer, Dong Jinrui shouted, "Drop the oil bag!"

As soon as his voice fell, more than a dozen kerosene sacs were thrown out, and the kerosene was sprinkled immediately, and then a torch was thrown out, and the front was immediately ignited, forming a wall of fire.

At this time, everyone picked up their bows and arrows, and started shooting arrows with the light of the fire wall.

Thanks to Zhang Wei's small ginseng bone pill, these people's strength has increased greatly, and the bows and arrows they pull are all strong bows.Otherwise, relying on the previous soft bow, I am afraid that even the carapace of shrimp soldiers and crab generals will not be able to be shot.

The Spike's armor-piercing arrow in the shape of a triangular pyramid was fully drawn by the three-stone strong bow, and shot at the rushing shrimp soldiers with one arrow.

With a sound of 'poof', the spiked armor-piercing arrow pierced through the shell of the shrimp soldier and crab general, and shot directly into the meat.

This arrow hit, followed by two more arrows. The shrimp soldier was shot three times, but he still had the energy to continue to charge forward. He is indeed a spirit with tenacious vitality!
But then there were two more arrows, and five arrows hit the shrimp soldier, and the blood that flowed out was like a spring.The shrimp soldier finally couldn't bear it anymore, and after two more steps, he finally fell to the ground.

Dong Jinrui finally heaved a sigh of relief, if he didn't die, then they wouldn't have to fight.This round of bow and arrow shooting finally solved the three goblins.

But the remaining goblins took advantage of this opportunity to rush up. If the archers did not form a certain number, they still couldn't do it.

"Change! Melee!" Dong Jinrui roared, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, picked up the sword and shield beside him and went up.

It's just a pity that they don't have vertebral weapons specially used to break armor.Tianmen County has never fought with a carapace aquarium.

Heavy pine full body shield, this shield is used to prevent cavalry charges.The former Tianmen County militiamen wanted to hold him to block other people's attacks, that was simply a dream.

But it's different now, their strength has greatly increased, and this shield can be moved by one person alone, and it seems that it is no longer a joke to use a large shield all over the body for individual defense.

The men pushed forward, and the women behind picked up their strong bows and shot arrows. Although they were weaker, it wasn't that they couldn't pull the strong bows. At most, the frequency of shooting arrows was slower.

The children picked up the oil sacs and threw them out continuously.These children also grew up eating the water transformed from small ginseng bone pills.

The heavy coral halberds and lake stone halberds couldn't penetrate the large pine shields, so Dong Jinrui and the others took long knives to cut off the cracks in the shells of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Spike armor-piercing arrows from behind flew from time to time.

The attack of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals was actually resisted!
So far, none of Dong Jinrui's people has been injured.

The battle was fierce until dawn, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals organized several attacks but failed to break through the defense line of these humans. They finally retreated!

Watching them withdraw to the lake, Dong Jinrui's people finally shouted: "We have won!"

Everyone was beaming with joy. Although they were very tired, the joy of victory welled up in their hearts.

Dong Jinrui threw away the large, bumpy shield. His hands and feet were trembling at this moment, which was the aftereffect of the high-intensity fighting on the muscles.

But he didn't rest at this time, but thought for a while and said: "Brothers, although we won this battle, we can't be happy. I don't know how many fairies there are in this water. We won this wave. What shall we do next wave?"

Everyone fell silent when they heard his words.Dong Jinrui said decisively: "We withdraw!"

When the others heard this, they immediately said, "Brother, it's freezing cold and the road is blocked by heavy snow, how do we go?"

Dong Jinrui said categorically, "Let's go on a sledge!"

When the others heard this, they were a little reluctant to look at their homeland and said, "But these things..."

He said directly: "If things are gone, we can do it again. If people are gone, what do you do with it? The county master is right. If you save people, you lose land. If you save people, you lose all people's land. .If you keep the green hills there, you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood, so let’s go!”

Everyone still believed him. Hearing what he said, everyone fell silent. They began to pull out the sled, put on the horses, and set off with some grain and kindling.

Not long after they walked, they suddenly heard the sound of a large amount of ice breaking.They looked back subconsciously, and a shocking huge wave rushed directly towards their village with a large amount of ice.

In an instant, the ice was mixed with the lake water, and all the wooden houses they worked so hard to build were washed away, and the livestock that remained there were also swept away by the lake water.

Everyone watched all this, men and women shed tears silently.This is the fruit of their one-year labor!
The only good news is that they are all alive. If they hesitated, or did not leave with luck, they would be swept away by the lake now.

Everyone fell silent and looked at Dong Jinrui.

Dong Jinrui gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to the county seat, and we'll file a complaint! I don't believe it anymore, the old man won't give us justice!"

After hearing this, everyone was refreshed, yes, go to the county government to file a complaint!The Grand Master conquered Guifang Kingdom and publicly tried the three kidnapped goblins. Could it be that even this mere water goblin can't be dealt with?
In the past two years, Zhang Wei's series of actions have greatly increased his reputation among the people of Tianmen County.He made the people of Tianmen County feel safe by destroying ghosts, and publicly tried the goblin to let everyone know that he is not only a human being, but also dares to control goblins.

All these performances let everyone know that this county master is really daring to do things!
Now hearing what Dong Jinrui said, everyone cheered up.Just go to the Grand Master!After finding the Grand Master, justice will come.

So they rekindled their hopes and drove towards Tianmen County on a sled.

This 'flood' not only submerged Tianmen Village, but also the Jinhua Empress Temple, the Earth Temple and the City God Statue.

Just a quarter of an hour after the 'flood', a fashionable old lady wearing fur appeared on the ground, and beside the old lady were two ghost soldiers.

The two ghost soldiers looked at everything in front of them and said to the old lady: "Landmaid, this place is flooded."

The landlady said angrily, "I'm not blind, I can still see!"

The ghost soldier said again: "This flood is not a natural flood, but a flood caused by someone's method!"

The landlady knocked on the crutch in her hand and said angrily: "I know, my inspiration is still there!" She said angrily: "The wild gods in this lake dare to drown our people and our land. I'm going to report to the City God!"

After finishing speaking, the landlady got into the ground with the two little ghosts.

And after a while, two foxes also ran over with their heads poking around.The two foxes looked at this place, sneered, turned around and ran away.

On the way, the smaller fox asked the big one next to him: "Brother, don't we salvage grandma's dharma body?"

The big fox sneered and said, "Why should we be the boss? Do you think that the statue of the Dharma Body was blown down by the wind? It was swept away by the method of the wild god!"

He looked at his little brother and said, "This is a provocation to grandma. How did he take away this statue? If he turns back, he will pay ten times the price. Let us honestly please go back."

The little fox nodded ignorantly, although he still didn't quite understand it, but it didn't matter, the elder brother would do whatever he said.

This impulsive flood will inevitably affect the interests of many parties.At this time, the Dragon King of the West Sea flew over from the West Sea unsteadily, and he didn't know anything about it!
