farming female castellan

Chapter 157
It was late at night, and Liu Huaijin woke up suddenly, panting a few times.

The room is very quiet, the children's snoring is very shallow; the surrounding area is also very quiet, not even the cry of small insects can be heard.Huai Jin felt a trace of panic in his heart.

Suddenly, a little light flashed outside the window, and then there were bits and pieces of light.

It's fire!Someone is lighting a fire!Huaijin shouted loudly: "There is fire!"

Someone immediately sat up: "What's going on?"

Chen Zhongyan, who was closest to the table, touched the fire pocket and lit a candle.

"Put on clothes." He said in a deep voice, and quickly got dressed.

The fire outside the window is getting brighter and brighter, and the sound is getting noisier.

The boys got up one after another.Everyone rushed out the door, ran to the toilet, and each of them grabbed a basin and ran into the yard. There was a large water tank in the yard, which was filled with water.

Everyone filled basins of water one after another, and threw themselves on the flames.Several flames fluttered a few times, became weaker, exuding a choking smell of smoke.

"Third brother, go get the mask and soak it in water for us." Chen Zhongyan ordered.

Chen Zhongzhu ran into the house, the whistle outside the courtyard rang sharply, and the sound of footsteps and splashing water kept coming and going.

He took out a stack of masks and handed out one to each of them.Everyone wore masks and continued to splash water.

The chapters are on the roof, and the ink is on it.

"What's going on now?"

Mo Jian replied: "The fire is under control and will not have any impact. The water tanks in the courtyards are finally playing a big role."

"About how many people are there?"

"I can't estimate it yet, they haven't done it yet."

"Do you still remember the bandits who rushed into the city?" Zhang Ci asked softly.

"Remember, Chu Sheng said it all."

"This batch is probably it." Zhang Ci's tone was a little heavy.

Mo Jian's breath stagnates: "Will there be orioles?"

Zhang Ci snorted: "If the oriole doesn't come, it won't be considered a living bird."

There were not many flames in the yard, and a few boys quickly extinguished them.Everyone did not leave the yard or enter the house, but stood under the eaves.

"Why didn't anyone come to our yard today?" Liu Huaijin felt very strange.

"Each court is responsible for each court." Chen Zhongyan said.

Huai Jin glanced at him: "The last time you heard the whistle, you said you could sleep in peace. Today, when you saw the fire, you woke everyone up. What standard did you arrange?"

Chen Zhongyan chuckled: "You still stay in the house when there is a fire?"

Huai Jin was speechless.

The sound of weapons colliding and screams came from outside, far and near, all around.

"Someone came to cut the rice again?" Chen Zhongliang muttered in a low voice.

"Are those villagers safe today?" Chen Zhongmei asked.

Chen Zhongyan answered his question: "There are guards guarding the villagers. Go back to sleep, I will guard here."

Chen Zhongzhu disagreed: "I am the third brother, let me guard."

"No need, you go to bed." There was a voice on the roof, and the boys were startled.

"Brother-in-law?" Everyone tried to shout.

"Ah."

"Where is the girl?"

"Chu Sheng is guarding there."

The children were immediately relieved and went back to the house obediently.

The sound of fighting in the wilderness lasted for a long time, and it didn't gradually subside until the sky became light.

The sun jumped out of the horizon. As soon as the villagers who got up early opened the courtyard door, they saw a flood of people coming from a distance. They were so frightened that they quickly closed the courtyard door, house door, and locked the windows.

The tide is rushing to another village, slashing the door with a knife. "Whoosh, whoosh!" There was a sound of piercing through the air, and countless arrows fell on the bandit's body like raindrops, and the ground fell to the ground.

The bandit leader's eyes were red, and he roared angrily, "Come down and fight grandpa if you have the guts!"

No one paid any attention to him, a batch of arrows flew towards him, he swung his knife to block a few, but was still shot by the others, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

On the side of Qijiadu, the boys were stuck in front of the window, unable to see the scene outside the courtyard, only heard the sound of arrows piercing the flesh, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, as well as screams and groans.

Chen Zhongyan hugged Chen Zhongliang with a cool face.

The girl was also stuck in front of the window, listening to the sounds outside.

Chen Ya asked curiously: "How many people are there today? Why don't we go out?"

Chen Fan pinched her face: "How many people do you think there are?"

"Hundreds of people? It seems more than a thousand? Are there so many?"

Chen Yue looked at her: "Today is probably the last batch. There are still 3000 people per person and one mu of land."

Everyone let out an exclamation.

"There are so many people! How can the nurses fight over?" Chen Ya was anxious.

"It seems that there is another group of people beating them." Chen Xiu guessed from the voice.

"It should be. What's it called?"

"Praying mantis catching cicadas—" Chen Yue said half a sentence.

"The oriole is behind." Chen Ying answered the second half of the sentence.

"Sit down for a while, I guess there is still a while." Chen Fan said.

After sitting for half an hour, the sound of fighting outside gradually subsided, and a burst of gongs came over clearly.Chu Sheng came to the window: "Girl, it's all over."

Everyone was very happy and walked out of the house one after another.

Chu Sheng looked at the girls and said, "There are many corpses outside. If you are afraid, you don't have to go out. Wait until the outside is cleaned up before going out."

Several children hesitated.

"When I was fleeing famine, I saw many people starved to death on the side of the road." Chen Xiu said.

"I've seen someone..." Chen Ying didn't continue.

"What are the many corpses like?" Chen Ya had no idea.

"You're still young, I'm afraid you'll have nightmares watching it." Chu Sheng said.

Chen Yameng paused for a while, then said, "Then I won't go out."

The girls didn't go out, including Chen Fan.

She had never seen that kind of scene, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

"What about cooking?" Chen Ya asked again.

"Miss Qin Zheng will protect Granny Zhou and the others," Chu Sheng said.

The boys are also discussing whether to go out or not.

"I'm not going out." Chen Zhongyan was the first to express his opinion.

"I want to go out, I want to see that kind of scene." Chen Zhongzhu said.

"Then I'll go and build up my courage too." Chen Zhongmei said.

The two of them followed Mo Jian out of the courtyard gate, shocked by the sight in front of them.

There were corpses everywhere, arrows stuck everywhere, blood stained the soil on the ground black.

"Where are so many people coming from?" Chen Zhongzhu felt incredible.

"Who are they?" Chen Zhongmei looked at the group of people carrying the corpses.

"They are the army of the imperial court." Mo Jian said.

"Army? Why did the army come today?" Chen Zhongzhu didn't understand.

"When did they come?" Chen Zhongmei didn't understand either.

Mo Jian smiled.

The three of them walked around Zhuangzi, which was shocking.

Looking at the two pale-faced children, Mo Jian picked one up and carried them back to the kitchen.

Grandma Zhou miraculously placed a brazier at the gate of the courtyard, with wormwood burning in it.

Granny Zhou grabbed the wormwood and patted them several times, muttering something.

After washing their hands and drinking water, the expressions of the two children calmed down a little.

After sitting for half an hour, everyone heard a loud voice: "Master Zhongshuling has arrived! General Hussars has arrived!"
