The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 65 Became Quan Zhuang's Refuge!

The world has become so chaotic, the shops along the gorge can only be temporarily closed.After paying the wages to the temporary workers, Song Yingkui took Uncle San, Ding Huanyi and others to disassemble the water saw and other equipment. After finding a place to bury the important parts, they took the valuable materials such as iron and charcoal to the house with a cart.

"Second Uncle, you should hurry back and take my grandfather and the others to our village for refuge." The disaster is imminent, and my grandmother's family has to find a way to protect them no matter what.Bringing grandpa and the others over can also increase the manpower to defend against the enemy, which is the best of both worlds.

Jiang Xiaohu has already returned to Xiaoguanzhuang. Their family is a big family, and Song Yingkui doesn't need to worry about their own disaster avoidance arrangements.

After arranging for the second uncle to pick up the grandfather and the others, Song Yingkui directed the whole family to dig kilns and build equipment to defend against the enemy.

"Grandpa, the kiln entrance should be dug smaller, so it is easier to guard. I use big logs to make a thick wooden door. Once the anti-mindmen come, we will use a thick wooden door to block the kiln entrance. In addition, I have to make a long ladder. We have to dig the two-storey kiln together so that the speed will be faster."

Fortunately, there are still some iron materials in the shop, which can be used to make some weapons.In such an urgent situation, Song Yingkui could only do the simplest things.His idea was to make a dozen spears and four or five big knives.If time permits, make two or three more crossbows.

Traditional bows and crossbows require elastic tendons and horns. Where can I find such materials now?The only way to think about it is to make a spring steel bar and use this thing as a bow.

How to make spring steel Song Yingkui has been struggling since last year when he was making a flintlock gun, but he has figured out some experience under the existing technology and material conditions.However, the equipment in the shop is unusable now, and the condition of the temporary workbench built at home is even more crude. It is hard to say whether it is possible to make suitable spring steel under such a hasty situation.

"Kuiwa, Yangxili and Yinxiili said that they would help us dig the kiln, and they would hide the thieves together. Do you think you can agree to this?" When Song Yingkui was busy with weapons, the grandpa ran over and said that the family in Tongzhuang wanted to join forces with his family to defend against the enemy.

"There's nothing wrong with that, more people work harder. However, if you go to our kiln to take shelter, you have to listen to my arrangements, otherwise you will be chaotic and easy to be taken advantage of." Only relying on the ten or so men in his family, it is a little uncertain to guard against the rioting aboriginal people. There is no reason for Song Yingkui to refuse.There are more people, and the speed of digging the kiln is also fast. I hope that the kiln can be dug well before the arrival of the foreign people.

With the addition of the family with the same surname, there were nearly 30 men digging the kiln, and the speed was a lot faster. In just four or five days, the prototype of the two-story kiln was dug out.It is barely enough to allow people to enter the kiln to hide from thieves. The next step is to expand the kiln so that people can live in it more comfortably. Who knows how long it will take to hide this time.

That is, during the few days when the kiln was being dug, it was rumored that bandits from the bandits had appeared in Wuying Town.The rebels all had horses, and their range of movement was quite large.

"I heard that Majiawa in front of Huangshiping let more than a dozen foreigners enter the village yesterday, and the village was slaughtered, and not even half of the people who escaped came out." In the evening, a visitor came to the house, it was the Wang family of Xiazhuang in Yangjiabao.He brought a tragic news, and at the same time explained his purpose of coming. The Wang family also wanted to take refuge in the newly dug kiln of the Song family.

They were all from the same village, Song Yingkui was not as heartless as the Yang family, so he could only open his mouth to deal with this matter.Of course, the Wang family can't hide in the kiln for nothing. They have to send manpower to help dig the kiln together. The kiln dug so far is not enough for so many people to take refuge.

After accepting the Wang family's refuge, other families in the village quickly came to their door, even Ding Derong's family was no exception.

Yangjiabao Village is now divided into two parts, one part is the Yang family hiding in Yangjiabao, and the rest of the other surnames all gathered under the cliff of the Song family to keep warm.

There are more than 300 people, men, women and children, and the kilns dug out so far are simply not enough for these people.

"I will make a division of labor for everyone. I will draw ten strong laborers to help me make weapons, and another fifty people will follow my grandfather to dig the kiln in two layers and push the excavated soil into the ditch. When playing Shehuo, a few people who play lions come out, and you work hard. Divide into two groups and ride mules to the top of the mountain to look out for the wind. Once you see a thief, hurry up and call here. The rest of the women and children are divided into two groups. Fill up all the water tanks in the kiln." The orderly division of labor by so many people can work efficiently.Song Yingkui gathered everyone together and made simple work arrangements for them.

Logically speaking, we still need to train everyone how to work together to guard the kiln, but now time is urgent, and there are not enough places to hide, so we still have to dig the kiln first.

The people from the village who came to hide from the disaster all brought their own food. For the time being, there is no food crisis.After finishing the work, everyone set up a temporary stove outside the Song family's yard to cook for themselves. During this critical period, everything should be kept simple and make do with what you can.

He would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times, and Song Yingkui felt very uncomfortable when he saw the panicked and confused expressions of the Zhuang people who had gathered at the entrance of their kiln to take refuge.They are all ordinary farmers who can no longer be ordinary. They just want to farm the land honestly, pay taxes honestly, and live their lives according to their duties.But a disaster without warning suddenly fell on their heads.

This year was originally a drought year, and now there is chaos in the border. It is hard to say whether the big guys can survive this bad luck.Even if the imperial court can quickly quell the chaos, the rest of life may not be able to live.

What happened to the Dazheng court?The riots by the abbots have been going on for more than a month, and there is still no response so far.The soldiers from Wazhou City were involved in Ningxi Acropolis, so why can't they send troops from other places to quell the chaos?The aboriginal people who caused chaos in Linhe were all improvised. How could they be the opponents of Dazheng's regular army?But the problem is that now there is no sign of a Dazheng regular army at all.

Song Yingkui thinks that he has nothing to do to save the common people in the world, and the only thing he can do now is to lead everyone to dig a refuge kiln in order to avoid this natural disaster and man-made disaster.What should I do after I escaped the butcher's knife of the aboriginal rebellion by chance?He's out of ideas for now.If it really doesn't work, wait for the situation to ease a little and take the whole family to the mainland to escape.The frontier is really too dangerous, it should be safer to go to the interior.With my own ability, it is reasonable to say that there should be no problem living in the mainland, anyway, my family has no valuable property in the border area!
