Sweet Garden Bliss

"The torch can't burn a few times inside, and my chest is a bit congested. Next time I go in, I have to prepare a torch..." Zhang Dashan closed his eyes and let his hands wipe his face, breathing in the fresh air on the ground.

Besides, I didn't meet a single thief. Did it make too much noise and ran away?Or is it hidden in the depths of the tunnel?

There are two wars in Qijiazhuang. Could it be that the tunnel leads directly to his village?If a thief came out of some kang, would the whole village survive?

The faces of the common people also changed. Those who have daughters at home are still wiping their tears. They finally found a tunnel and haven't seen anyone yet. Who knows when their daughters will be in danger?

"Princess, the reason why I retreated is because I found that there is a fork in front of me. I don't know where the fork is, and I can't imagine where each fork leads to."

Zhang Dashan rinsed his eyes with the water in the leather bag, and managed to break free. Fortunately, he withdrew them in time. If they were soaked in quicklime for a long time, the eyes might be useless.

what to do?Down below is full of dangers and difficulties, and the people are betting their hopes on the faces of County Magistrate Hu and Princess Furui, as if they will definitely come up with the best solution.

The tunnel is narrow, and no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to exert their strength. If you continue to explore, you may encounter bandits head-on. They are familiar with the terrain and hide in the dark, so they will not get any advantage here.

But it's not a good idea to wait like this. Who knows when new cases will appear?The villagers in the nearby villages have all run out, and the gathering of men, women and children is very loud.The Qi family's stepmother, who had just returned home, was also in the team.No way, now I know that staying at home is dangerous, even seeing a well is frightening, and I always feel that a water ghost can come out of it.

County magistrate Hu was still very wise, and at the critical moment, he was sober-minded, and summoned Lizheng from several villages to discuss the case.

"No matter how powerful the thieves are, they can't always live underground. Have there been any suspicious people in the village recently? Or is there any noise in the deserted house?"

Real estate in this era is worthless, and someone needs to build a house.Even if you are looking for a piece of land to be relocated, you can pack it up and leave. There are quite a few abandoned courtyards like this in every village.

And because there are many saline-alkali lands in the vicinity, the crops are not growing well, and the number of residents is relatively reduced.

The Lizhengs all went back to their village gathering places to inquire about the news.It's a pity that no one thought of new clues for a while. It seemed that this group of robbers were quite clever, and they were very well concealed.

"Even if the residence is occupied, it is probably only regarded as a certain entrance of the cave. Their daily activities may be underground, so there is no movement."

Ah Yuan clenched his fists again.Spinning in my mind, pictures of movies and TV flashed like streams of light...

The fastest return journey is Kuai Ma Ya Cha.Bring back the latest news, confirm that little brother Qi came to Qijiazhuang at dusk the day before yesterday, many people thought he was a big girl!

Hu county magistrate gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said ruthlessly: "Send all the girls in several villages to the Zhuyang county government office and give them to the wife to take care of them. The old, weak, sick and disabled should also be taken care of in a centralized manner. Young and strong men. All gather to obey the county's order! The villages are making arrangements immediately!"

The huge pig's head looked at A Yuan: "Princess, we will fight with them today! Now that we know their method of robbery, let's destroy this evil tunnel first!"

The old man who found the exit of the tunnel just now yelled: "Master County Magistrate, we have to continue to search for the rest of the tunnels, I'm afraid we won't find them if we dig too deep and too far!"

The sound of horseshoes in the distance was already rushing, Mr. Lu Qian arrived with the soldiers from Zhuyang County!

The two yamen servants were in charge of taking a few men to protect the girls and hid in the yamen. The girls had a lot of things to do, and they discussed in a low voice about bringing a change of clothes and bedding, but they calmed down after being yelled at by the yamen servants.

Ah Yuan, who was frowning and thinking, suddenly relaxed. Looking at the girls who are like flowers and bones, they have not forgotten their comfort and beauty when the disaster is approaching, and the tense atmosphere has been relieved.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate Hu and Mr. Lu Qian will lead the men to a decisive battle with the bandits. It won't take too long. Soon, you will be taken home, put on beautiful clothes, and sleep peacefully."

At this moment, the princess is like a living bodhisattva with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with a warm and refreshing voice. The little girls all nodded and left obediently, reminiscing about the words and deeds of this noble princess.

Mr. Lu Qian had already asked the whole story, all the government soldiers were ready to go, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were being resettled in the villages, leading the rest of the men to gather together with shovels, hoes, rakes and sticks.

"According to the direction of the tunnel we just explored, before digging into Zhuyang County, the range of the tunnel should be wandering around. In my opinion, we can use fire to attack, just like smoked rabbits, to smoke out the thieves from the tunnel. Mr. Lu Qian is worthy of being a military commander, and usually takes people to hunt and harass rabbits, so the first thought is Huo Gong.

Villagers know a lot about this method. As the saying goes, cunning rabbits have three holes. When catching rabbits, block two of the exits, and then light a fire and smoke at one of the exits. Naturally, the rabbits cannot stand the smoke and can only obediently come out of the hole. come out to die.

Mr. Lu Qian came up with this idea. The flames can't go far, but the smoke can do it. As long as there is a gap, the enemy will be smoked out of the tunnel. Everyone monitors the ground separately, come out and chop one by one, isn't it over?

I don't know how high the IQ of this ancient man is, and whether he would block the tunnel's entrance halfway, Ah Yuan held her fingers and murmured in her heart, after all, she didn't have the nerve to discourage the enthusiasm of the big guy.

There is enough hay in winter, and there is a lot of it in this wasteland. The farmer's iron rake came in handy, and it turned out to be a haystack after one stroke.

Like marching and fighting, Mr. Lu Qian had a commanding addiction. Nearly [-] men were scattered and lined up to monitor the changes on the ground by section.

"Princess, do you want to go back to the city to rest? It's time for lunch." Zhang Dashan was afraid that the master would be hungry, so the guards all went to follow Lu Qian's arrangement, leaving him and Bazi to continue as the county. Lord's patron saint.

Ah Yuan cast a sideways glance at Zhang Dashan: "Go back? Can you rest assured? Those thieves can't be caught, so we ran to the city to hide, are we guilty?"

Bazi was happy, and scratched the back of his head to squeeze Zhang Dashan: "That's right, if you want to go back, you can go back by yourself. Although our princess doesn't know how to fight with thieves, I can think about it! Mr. Lu Qian and County Magistrate Hu combined may not It can catch up with the idea of ​​our princess!"

Zhang Dashan's mouth can't speak now, so he stretched out his legs and punched quietly. Bazi had been on guard for a long time, and he swung his body to the front left of the princess, and he was safe.

It seemed that the billowing smoke was very effective, and cheers came out after a short while: "There is smoke coming out here, there must be a tunnel underneath!"

"There's smoke coming out of here too—"

It's just smoke, which proves that there are goods underground, but there is no one figure rushing up, so the effect is not obvious.

However, this effect is already shocking enough, the tunnels may extend in all directions, President Lu Qian's black face became more and more dignified, and County Magistrate Hu was already slumped on the ground stunned.

Fortunately, the seat where Ah Yuan is sitting is quite quiet, so let's take advantage of the temporary calm to replenish his nutrition!

"If you have the energy, eat something first! Bring that 'Xiangxiang mouth', lest some thieves will be smoked out and come to us for a fight to the death, and they have no energy!" Ah Yuan stretched out his hand, and the three of them each held a piece of dry dough Chewing.

"The princess keeps this bag of water for drinking. There is a small river nearby. Let's go to the river to take a few sips later." Ba Zi handed over a leather bag, one of which was used up just now to wash Zhang Dashan's eyes. warm water.

"The water in the small river is not clean, let's all drink this bag, it's enough..." Ah Yuan suddenly stopped chewing, with dried noodles in his mouth, he slapped his forehead and stood up.

"Yes, you can also use water! The flue can be blocked with soil, but water can't be blocked, and it will seep through sooner or later!"

Zhang Dashan called the two chief generals, Mr. Lu Qian and the County Magistrate Hu squatted on the ground and followed the princess to draw a road map. The smoking tunnel had a sense of direction, and they all went to the surrounding villages.

With such a well-designed secret passage, the base camp of the thieves must be inside, and the thick smoke will not come out, which proves that they can block the flue in it. It is not difficult, just pile up the corner opening with soil.

"I suggest leveling the smoldering tunnel first, and then changing the remaining dangerous areas to water attacks. We have so many people, and we pour water from the nearby small river. Everyone starts to pour water in continuously, gods I can't bear it either!"

"I think this idea will work!" Mr. Lu Qian was at a loss for strength, and the feeling of traps under his feet was really uncomfortable. The cunning bastards can't relieve their hatred, and they must show their true colors today. !

But leveling the tunnel is not as easy as it is said in a word, it is far enough from the ground, and there are wooden planks occasionally, it is difficult for people to do it on it.

It's dangerous to go down, not to mention that the smoke hasn't cleared yet, eating away bit by bit like hoeing, in which life can the tunnel be leveled?

The princess has always come up with strange ideas, and this time I have to find her to think about it. It is rare for Mr. Lu Qian to smile at his wife's best friend: "That—the princess, can you think about it—how to get rid of it faster? These tunnels—buried?”

In fact, Mr. Qian is always muttering in his heart, no wonder Li Wei is getting more and more difficult to fool every day. Since meeting this weird woman, he has become more courageous every day. There is no trick at all! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
