The dry food carried by the cavalrymen who came all the way from the grassland was all dried mutton and beef, plus a sheepskin bag of goat's milk wine.

With these things, if they don't have any supplies, they can last for ten days and a half at most.

Therefore, they adhere to the principle of quickness and want to rob all these people in the south quickly. When the time comes, they can return to their hometowns and live a good life for a period of time.

However, the human city here in the south is too thick and too high. For a while, there was nothing they could do against these people.

"Chief, what should we do? The southerners are huddled in their own cities one by one, and we can't get in. As long as they don't open the city gates for a day, we won't be able to grab food and drink for a day. And those beauties..."

The grassland peoples in the north all practice tribalism.

Large tribes have hundreds of thousands, or even millions, while small tribes have tens of thousands, and some only have thousands.

The cavalry team of 3 people coming now is composed of 8 small tribes.

The leaders of these eight small tribes are all related by marriage. The relationship is extremely close.

Nearly half of the leaders had their Ejis kidnapped from the south by their fathers.

Therefore, they have all known Chinese and can speak Chinese since childhood. He also knows very well about the customs and habits of the south.

Knowing that people in the south have the habit of hoarding supplies for the winter before the Chinese New Year, they sat together to discuss it.

Soon, they came to an agreement that there was no time to lose. They must find those winter supplies as soon as possible and bring them back. Otherwise, the women and children of my tribe will freeze to death and starve to death this winter...

So, they divided into nearly thirty small teams the next day.

Each team has nearly a hundred people.

They rode horses, played with swords and arrows, and began to go in different directions.

As a result, the dozens of villages centered on the county seat were quickly massacred and robbed.

Any woman with good features would be snatched away from her horse by the cavalry.

Households with cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, donkeys, chickens, and dogs were also robbed.

As for the grains that farmers valued most, such as sorghum and wheat, almost each of these cavalrymen robbed three to four hundred kilograms.

After these tens of thousands of cavalry robbed the whole area, the entire land became slightly desolate.

Some mountain people who were lucky enough to escape the disaster watched helplessly as the villages at the foot of the mountain continued to emit billowing black smoke. They were surprised, they hesitated.

Wait until the thick smoke slowly disappears and slowly calms down. By the evening of the next day, they estimated that the group of people who burned, killed and looted had left, so they picked up the guys and ran down the mountain in groups.

As a result, those farmers who survived at the foot of the mountain were robbed a second time.

Many people have been seriously injured.

A group of wild people broke into the house and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. All the remaining food was taken away. Everyone started to scream wildly. Some people even knelt on the ground and shouted at God.

……

At this moment, Chen Feiyan, her children, and her husband's eldest brother and sister-in-law were all hiding in the tunnel at home.

On such a cold day, it was also very cold in the tunnel.

Chen Feiyan was constantly rejoicing at this time. Fortunately, her little girl liked lying on the kang and sitting on the ground.

It was she who heard the sound of those horses' hooves first.

Chen Feiyan was still lying on the ground and listened with her ears. She felt that her daughter heard correctly. She immediately put down what she was doing, called the whole family, and immediately got into the tunnel.

As for the black cat she kept at home, she also let it out.

As for the food at home, she put more than 1000 kilograms of food into the tunnel after it was repaired.

After letting his sons go into the tunnel first, Chen Feiyan also stuffed all the pigs, ducks, and geese raised at home into it.

The cavalry came very quickly.

When Chen Feiyan slowly closed the brick under the bed, she suddenly heard the sound of the door to her yard being broken open. She thought to herself, they are coming, they are really coming.

Under the dim oil lamp, Chen Feiyan slowly climbed down.

When she reached the place where the family slept in the middle of the tunnel, she lowered her voice and said to them: "The robbers and robbers are here!"

"Don't make any noise!"

Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying were panicking at this time.

As long as they think that those people outside will kill people and take away all the food that their family has not had time to transport, they will become extremely scared.

Under the dim oil lamp, the atmosphere was very depressing.

Everyone is looking at you and me.

Chen Feiyan felt that there was not enough oxygen in the air. She shook her head at the others, pointed at the dim oil lamp, and wanted to blow out the oil lamp.

However, Wang Yingying quickly raised her hand to stop her.

"Sister-in-law, don't turn off the light!"

Chen Feiyan thought for a while and nodded, following her wishes.

If you don’t turn off the lights, you won’t turn off the lights.

Forget it, although it's a little difficult to breathe now, at least this oil lamp can remind them.

If all the oxygen in the air is consumed, the oil lamp will definitely go out on its own. At that time, the family must go out for some fresh air.

Just as they were huddled in the tunnel, living like a year, other people in Chenjiacun had also realized that something was wrong.

Therefore, the village chief Chen Qiliang quickly asked everyone in the family to get into the tunnel of their home.

The tunnel in his house was built decades ago to avoid war.

Chen Qiliang made a conservative estimate. He felt that in this place, they would have to hide in tunnels several times every seven or eight years.

Every time they came to the village, many people would be killed or injured. Some people were even killed.

For this kind of thing, he can only say that he can't help at all. Everyone has their own destiny, and they can only ask for their own blessings.

After Chen Qiliang and his family hid, their wooden door made of thick coffin boards was also opened heavily.

Soon, the old donkey that his family had raised for more than ten years was caught.

The food his family had hoarded was immediately snatched away by a group of vicious cavalry.

As for other families in the village, those who did not respond in time were either killed or robbed.

Especially the women in the village who couldn't hide were all kidnapped and taken back.

These people robbed this area for more than ten days, and they were very thorough and crazy. Just like a comb combing through the hair, it was all washed.

There is a limit to how much a horse can carry.

If you grab too much but can't carry it back, you are doing a useless job.

Everyone felt that it was almost done, so on the night of the eleventh day, the cavalry of their eight small tribes quickly returned with hundreds of kilograms of wheat and sorghum, and the pigs, cattle, horses, donkeys, sheep and dogs they had snatched. .

After those people had left for several days, Magistrate Zhao and the landowners and squires in the county discovered that those fierce people had completely disappeared around the city wall.

They felt that the crisis had been resolved, and they were all very happy.

The common people in the county were extremely happy after learning about this.

Great, great, my life has been saved and my family's wealth has been saved.

Everyone smiled at the thought that this year could be like previous years and that the winter could be passed safely.
