Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 308
Feng Dianshi's reputation was ruined, and it happened that he was injured again, so he took the opportunity to stay out of the house.Mrs. Feng and Aunt Wei are even more shameless. There are jokes about his family everywhere in Hutai County.

But Young Mistress Feng still went out every day to work with Mrs. Qian County Magistrate and Mrs. Lu Qianhu.Everyone still respects her equally. Everyone knows how the Feng family bullied her back then, and they all know that she stayed alone when Feng Dianshi left the city. What's more, she has a noble character, can write and count, and Madam Qian and Madam Lu especially trust her She, let her take care of the important matters of registering newcomers to the city and distributing food.

During the period of defending the city, almost all the men were on the city wall, and the rest of the work was naturally taken over by the women.Nowadays, most of the tasks in the county town, such as resettling the people, taking care of the wounded soldiers, cooking and delivering meals for the defenders, fall on the women.

The folk customs in Liaodong were originally rough, and it was common for older girls and daughter-in-laws to go out, and now at this time, no one thought of etiquette, and keeping the city alive was the most important thing.

So when Ning Wan was dragged by Mrs. Qian and asked, "Have you heard about Zhou's loss of virginity?" she was a little taken aback, "Zhou's? The one from Xu Qianhu's family?"

"Yes, I was talking about her."

"Xu Qianhu has passed away. She can marry if she wants to. Although she is in a hurry, it is not a loss of virginity." After all, Ning Wan was born in a farming family, and it is not uncommon for women from poor families to remarry. Unlike scholars, Zhou's desire to remarry has nothing to do with her.

"Your Madam is not allowed to remarry!" Madam Qian said, "It's not that she wants to remarry at the moment, but that the Zhou family and some other women were captured by the barbarians that day, and were later rescued by soldiers led by thousands of your family. .”

Ning Wan remembered Zhou's tragic appearance when she entered the city, and suddenly understood.Xu Qianhu was killed, and the Zhou family was riding behind Xu Qianhu in a carriage, dressed up in fancy clothes, and it was only logical that they were taken captive by the barbarians, and then Tie Shi rushed over to snatch them back before returning to Hutai County. That should be the case of.

But she thought again, this period was actually not long, and the sky was bright and bright, so nothing would happen.So he said: "Tie Shi didn't mention it, and it's not a big deal after all."

Madam Qian stomped her feet, "It's nothing to ordinary women, but Mrs. Zhou is an imperial lady!" Seeing that Ning Wan was still a little disapproving, she asked Mrs. Feng to comment, "Do you think Mrs. Zhou should have a rope? Hanged? She is a majestic wife, but she has the guts to live on after being taken captive by the barbarians!"

Young Mistress Feng gently picked up the scimitar at her waist, and from that day on, no matter what clothes she changed into, she would always hang the machete on her waist, "Everyone has his own aspirations, so we shouldn't force them, but as the royal order Madam, enjoying the rank and salary, but abandoning the city when the barbarians besieged the city and fled, and was not ashamed to be looted by the barbarians, it is really embarrassing."

Madam Qian became even angrier when she heard this, "I heard someone say it yesterday, but I still didn't believe it. Later, I asked Xu Qianhu's soldiers and found out that it was true, so I came to you to discuss it."

Ning Wan then asked: "Then what is Madam Qian's intention?"

"If Mrs. Zhou wanted to save face, she should have committed suicide long ago." But since Mrs. Zhou refused to die, Madam Qian couldn't strangle her to death. At that time, they wanted the concubine at home who refused to follow the self-immolation to commit suicide, but they failed, so they said: "It is because I have no other choice that I come to you to discuss it."

It was only then that Ning Wan realized that there are still many rules to abide by as the Madam of Gaoming. The words of Madam Qian and Mistress Feng cannot be said to be unreasonable, and the Zhou family is also annoying everywhere, but after all, her background experience is different from Madam Qian and Mistress Feng. He felt that even if the Zhou family really lost his virginity, he would not be guilty of death, so he didn't want to worry about it, "Forget it, the barbarians have already filled up the moat, and they will attack the city in a few days, we are too busy with business Come on, where there is time for her, let her go."

Madam Qian's anger was not calm, and finally she could only say: "Madam Gaoming can write a letter to the empress! After the barbarians retreat, I will definitely write a letter to ask the empress to release her from the empress status!"

The matter of the Zhou family has passed like this for the time being, and everyone has no time to pay attention to it, so the barbarians began to attack the city the next day.

The atmosphere in Hutai County was extremely tense before, but since the siege began, everyone realized that the Yi people's swords and arrows were more terrifying than imagined.However, everyone's tense hearts were relaxed. Things couldn't get any worse. Just try to defend the city with all your strength, and don't have to think about anything else.

Arrows whizzed past their heads with sharp whistling sounds, heavy long logs hit the city gate, barbarians climbed up the city from the ladder with a knife in their mouth... Everyone forgot the people who laughed at the people who left the city a while ago, I forgot the resentment for demolishing the houses near the city wall, forgot all the things I should do in normal days, and only focused on guarding Hutai.Only when Hutai is defended can everyone survive!

The attacks of the barbarians were ferocious and endless, as soon as one wave was repelled, the next wave rushed up immediately.They are savage by nature, fearless of death, full of desire for the wealth of the Central Plains, and regard burning, killing and looting as the only way to obtain everything. Hutai County is like a stumbling block blocking the footsteps of the barbarians, and they are about to kick it open.

However, the city wall in Hutai County has just been repaired. The wall is tall and strong. The new horse face makes there is no dead corner around the city wall. Tieshi was guarded by brave soldiers. They shot arrows like locusts and dropped bricks and trees like heavy rain, letting the barbarians understand that although this stumbling block looks small, it is actually just a small piece of land exposed on the ground. It's just a corner, and the boulder buried in the ground cannot be moved by anyone.

For more than ten days in a row, the barbarians forcibly attacked the city day and night, and the inside of Hutai City naturally also guarded the city day and night. Groups of wounded soldiers were carried down the city wall, and all the young and strong were incorporated into the city defense army. Amidst the screams of killing, almost everyone stayed up all day, trying their best to keep Hutai!
At first, everyone was hoping that Anpingwei would send reinforcements. After all, the reason why the barbarians attacked Hutai so frantically was to break off a wing of Anpingwei. Anping and Hutai were the horns of each other. Anping is far stronger than Hutai in terms of size and deployment of troops. It is necessary to rush to help Hutai when the barbarians invade, and only in this way can Anping be better protected.

However, one day, two days...ten days, Anpingwei never had a single soldier, and everyone in Hutai City gave up their hearts. Maybe Anpingwei was also surrounded and attacked by barbarians, and there was no army to support them.

General Iron Stone is right, Hutai City still depends on everyone to keep it, and you can keep it on your own!
Finally, everyone's efforts were not in vain. On the 16th day of the siege, the barbarians retreated and only surrounded Hutai City from a distance.

On the city wall, Ning Wan stood beside Tieshi and looked out of the city. Everything had changed. The wheat waves that could not be seen had been trampled badly by barbarian horses. Not long after she came out, there were tattered flags, damaged knives and guns scattered around, the bones of people, horses, cattle and sheep, and tents in the distance, desolate and deserted, but, she said: "It doesn't matter, as long as we hold the city , it will be the same as usual after planting next spring."

"I know," Tie Shi turned to her and smiled at her. Even though he had guarded the city wall for more than ten days, his armor was stained with blood and his face was covered with dust, he still didn't have the gloom that Ning Wan had seen in his dream, and he was still bright. He smiled happily, his bloodshot eyes were still bright, and his neat teeth looked even whiter, "The barbarians are really not good at attacking cities!"

"If you had brought so many soldiers to attack the city, you would have already captured it!" Ning Wan immediately took it with a smile and said, "Although the barbarians are all brave, they are not good at cooperating with each other; They don’t know how to use weapons; what’s more, they don’t seem to be afraid of death at all, but in fact they can’t withstand the loss of population.”

"Haha! As expected of my daughter-in-law, she knows a lot about the military!"

These words are what you once said to me!The situation at that time was much worse than it is now. There were not as many soldiers under Tieshi as there are now, and many people escaped from Hutai City. Under the crazy barbarian attack, the losses were extremely heavy. The city was almost lost several times. .At that time, Tie Shi suddenly said these few words to himself. Although he had a straight face and his tone was even colder, Ning Wan still heard that he wanted to comfort herself.

Originally they were not familiar with each other, Ning Wan had only heard of the reputation of the crippled general, but Tie Shi didn't know who she was at first.Later, after getting in touch with food and water deliveries, I realized that I was the young wife of the Dian Shijia, but it was just a nod when we met, but it was only this time that I really started talking.

Just as the crippled general saw Ning Wan's fear, Ning Wan also discovered that the unfilial, ruthless, and ruthless man that everyone said had actually suffered a lot of grievances. Under his cold appearance, there was a heart that no one knew had suffered many injuries. heart of.Then whenever his injured leg broke out, or he didn't have time to eat, or fell asleep leaning against the cold city wall from exhaustion, Ning Wan would quietly take care of him—he was actually very pitiful.

Besides pity, Ning Wan admired him even more.It seems to be two completely opposite feelings, but it is indeed her truest feeling.

In this way, they gradually became acquainted and talked a lot together.

Of course, it's all about defending the city.

Ning Wan still remembered that the barbarians were also attacking Anpingwei for about half a month and suddenly slowed down, Tie Shi had guessed at that time, and now she asked: "Do you think they also attacked Anpingwei half a month ago? "

Was Anpingwei powerless to rescue Hutai, or did he not want to rescue Hutai at all?

Tie Shi put away his smile, "I think even if the barbarians attack Anpingwei and Hutai County at the same time, they must put most of their troops in Hutai, and they are going to take Hutai first and then take Anping. After all, Hutai is extremely located. Importantly, if it is not guaranteed, the Anping Guard will be independent, and the Yi people have already seen it, and their strength is also limited."

In his dream, Tieshi still thought like this, and he could see his helplessness and pain from his cold eyes.Tieshi was obviously disappointed now, but he was much calmer. He just said: "I have lost confidence in Commander Zhou, and I know that he can't come to save Hutai. Now I only hope that he can guard Anpingwei."

Where can Anpingwei be captured by barbarians?Ning Wan shook her head and smiled, "You are really worrying."

"I wish I had thought too much, too."

The husband and wife were talking when County Magistrate Qian came up.The barbarian retreated temporarily, and Tie Shi asked everyone to take turns to rest. He had bathed and changed his clothes, and changed his dirty official robe. Now he was wearing a square scarf and a blue satin robe, but such a homely attire still showed a sense of grandeur. You have to know that he didn't look convincing in official robes before, but now he exudes a strong official authority, and he stepped forward with a smile and said: "We have all taken turns to rest and take a bath, and please invite General Iron Stone Go home to rest, and I will guard the city, if there is an emergency, I will send someone to invite the general."

Lu Tieshi laughed and said, "I'm about to go back too." But he said, "Although the barbarians stopped attacking the city, they just retreated to find a way. We can't just relax. All defenses must be the same as before. Same time."

County Magistrate Qian nodded his head seriously, "I'm also thinking about it."

Watching the two talking about defense again, Ning Wan went home first, and waited until Tie Shi came back to be ready, and carefully served him to eat and take a bath, and then let him lie down and have a good sleep.

He is so tired!
