Chapter 10 The Hunt Begins
Chapter 10 The Hunt Begins
Late at night, Lin Yun put on a black cloak and sat alone on the stone pier at the entrance of the village.
He wanted to wait for Oona to bring back the bear trap and set the trap while it was dark.
Although Lin Yun didn't know when the robbers from Heifeng Village would come, he was prepared and felt at ease.
The villagers of Niubei Village are very important to him.
Although there are only more than 500 people, and there are not many real young adults, the smooth implementation of the plan is absolutely inseparable from the labor force.
Therefore, harassing the villagers in Heifeng Village is equivalent to offending Lin Yun's Ni Lin.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind, and Lin Yun turned around to look.
In the darkness, the old village chief came over carrying a pipe.
"Master Lin, it's so late, why don't you rest?"
The old village chief sat next to him and lit the pipe with a fire stick.
Suddenly, the pungent smell of dry smoke hit my face.
"Cough cough!!"
Lin Yun choked and coughed violently.
"You're in poor health, so you'd better smoke less!"
Lin Yun wiped away his choked tears.
"Hey... I'm an old man. I don't know how many more years I can live! In this remote and remote place, there are not many things to enjoy. A puff of cigarette is not bad!"
The old village chief's attitude toward Lin Yun changed drastically, and he was no longer as submissive as he was during the day.
Lin Yun smiled and said: "Don't say depressing words. You are a very important person to me!"
The old village chief took another puff on his dry cigarette and asked, "Mr. Lin, tell me honestly, do you want to gain anything by coming to Niubei Village?"
"That's right!"
All subsequent actions would be inseparable from the help of the villagers, and Lin Yun also wanted to win over the old village chief, so he admitted it.
He cannot command the villagers at all. Only the old village chief has this authority.
Therefore, Lin Yun wanted the old village chief to become a bridge between him and the villagers.
This way of controlling people is not a big deal on Earth.
But it's different in another world. The vast majority of people have never read books and are still relatively ignorant.
At this time, the old village chief nodded and said: "Okay, with Mr. Lin's words, the old man knows what he wants!"
In fact, he also has his own ideas.
As long as it is profitable for Lin Yun to come to Niubei Village, he and the villagers will feel comfortable taking advantage.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves on the official road, and there was a clanking sound.
The old village chief was startled, stood up suddenly, and looked into the distance.
He was already frightened and thought the robbers were coming again.
But Lin Yun knew that Oona must be returning and quickly stepped forward to greet her.
Sure enough, Oona bought a large number of animal traps in a nearby city, and even bought a horse to make it easier to travel.
"Hey!!"
Oona shouted low, and the black horse leaped high with its front hooves and neighed.
"Dangdang!"
A large bag of bear traps was still on the ground.
The old village chief was too shocked to speak.
Lin Yun smiled and said: "How was it? Is the journey going smoothly?"
"Of course! I bought a total of two hundred bear traps! Is that enough?"
Oona has a straightforward personality and looks like a victorious general on horseback.
The old village chief asked quickly: "Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?"
Lin Yun joked: "Of course I set a trap! If Wang Wu is let go by me during the day, he will definitely come to take revenge! If I'm not prepared, won't I want Niubei Village to suffer?"
The old village chief suddenly understood and said gratefully: "Thank you... Thank you Mr. Lin for still thinking about this matter. I will thank you on behalf of the villagers first!" "Hey... Don't be polite! I am also a member of Niubei Village now, naturally. We can’t let everyone be harassed by these bandits anymore!”
"Oona, you immediately place these animal traps on the only path where the robbers will come!"
Lin Yun ordered.
"Mr. Lin, I'd better leave these menial jobs to the old man! Besides, the third lady is not familiar with the terrain of Niubei Village!"
Oona's face suddenly turned red. This was the first time she was called the third lady.
"Then...Okay! It's time to work!"
Lin Yun smiled awkwardly.
The old village chief turned back to the village and called out a dozen young and strong villagers.
Everyone came out with torches, but they felt unhappy.
Life in a mountain village is boring. Everyone goes to bed after dark, so they are naturally unhappy if they are woken up.
However, after the old village chief spoke, everyone had no choice but to work. Especially when they learned that these animal traps were used to deal with robbers, the last bit of resentment in everyone's hearts disappeared.
It is said that there is strength in numbers, so two hundred animal traps were quickly deployed by the villagers around Niubei Village.
These animal traps are so powerful that once triggered, even a horse's legs can be broken instantly.
……
The next morning, the genius shone brightly.
Niubei Village was quiet, everyone was still asleep.
But on the official road, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and Black Wind Village came out in full force, with a total of seventy or eighty people.
Groups of robbers were fierce and aggressive, heading straight for Niubei Village.
In the carriage behind, Mr. Xiong sat lazily, holding a ghost-headed sword in his hand, looking majestic.
Wang Wuduan, who was seriously injured, was sitting aside with a listless look on his face, as if he hadn't woken up.
You can't blame him. He was seriously injured yesterday and drank with the injury, so he had no time to recuperate.
In addition, he was shadowed by Oona, so it was natural that he was not in a high mood.
At this time, Mr. Xiong opened the curtain on the side and asked, "How long until we reach Niubei Village?"
A boy outside said: "Brother, we have arrived at Zhihui Forest, and we are still two miles away from Niubei Village!"
"Hmm... tell the brothers to cheer up and fight into Niubei Village for me later. No one will be left alive!!"
"Don't worry, brother! Brothers can't wait for a long time!"
They also discussed countermeasures last night and learned how powerful the barbarian woman was, so Mr. Xiong did not dare to rely on others. He wanted to take advantage of their cavalry and sweep through Niubei Village without giving them a chance to react.
In Niubei Village, a village woman yawned and came to the well at the entrance of the village. She was about to carry a bucket of well water when she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Looking closely, the yellow sand was thrown up and flying all over the sky. From a distance, I saw groups of robbers rushing towards me.
The village woman was shocked and the bucket in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.
She was so frightened that she ran into the village.
"The robbers are coming!!"
This loud shout instantly alarmed the entire Niubei Village.
The villagers had been tortured by the robbers for a long time and were extremely vigilant. They rushed out of the huts and tried to escape.
But the old village chief and the villagers who were responsible for setting up the animal trap last night looked excited.
On the other side, Lin Yun was discussing with Duke Zhou on the bed, and Lin Wuyue was sleeping peacefully.
Even though the two of them weren't as perfect as each other last night, they had a lot of heart-to-heart conversations and their relationship was much closer.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, Oona rushed in and pulled Lin Yun up.
"Get up!! Those bastards are coming!"
Lin Yun was so excited that he quickly put on his clothes and took out an earthen jar from the wooden box under the bed.
"I'll be there soon!!"
