Chapter 653 654. Hiding
The village chief's mother-in-law also quickly put on her clothes and got up. The voice was too urgent, and something must have happened.

The village chief opened the gate almost at a trot, but was interrupted by Meng Xiaohua before he could say anything.

"Grandpa, the village chief, listen to me. Just now, I found a group of people holding torches and riding towards our village. Come here to inform the village chief’s grandfather, the village chief’s grandfather, do you think it’s the barbarian army coming?”

Xiaohua quickly said what she wanted to express, with fear and anxiety in her eyes.

The village head turned pale when he heard it. If what the child said was true, nine out of ten it was really a barbarian army.

Except for robbers, normal people who would act at night were probably barbarians.

This kind of thing is not new, after all, many other places in other counties have suffered during this period.

The village chief didn't have time to think about it, no matter it was true or not, warnings must be done.

Hastily ran into the house and took out the gong, ran to the intersection and knocked on the warning gong, louder than louder.

Meng Xiaohua didn't stay with the village chief at this time, and hurried back home.

Tightly plugged the door, not only that, but also pulled all the things in the house that could block the door to the door.

Meng Lao Er and Xiao Hua Niang, who heard the sound of the gong and got dressed, also ran to the yard with frightened faces and saw their daughter's movements.

Without saying a word, Meng Laoer helped the daughter move things together, and blocked the door tightly.

The courtyard wall of his house is high, so as long as the gate is blocked, the safety performance is still higher.

Not only that, after tidying up these things, Xiaohua quickly cleaned up the housewares, Meng Laoer hugged his son and dragged his mother-in-law to hide in the cellar in Xiaohua's room.

When she went in, Meng Xiaohua hadn't forgotten to bring some quilts and a straw mat with her. It would definitely be difficult to enter the cellar without quilts in this weather.

At the same time, everyone in the village moved as long as they heard the sound of the gong.

This is a fatal thing, and there is no room for them to have a fluke mentality.

Fortunately, almost every family on their side has a cellar, and the location of each cellar is also different, except for the vegetable cellar, almost all of them are very secret.

Fortunately, the grain and so on were originally stored in the cellar, and as for keeping the usual food on the bright side, it was too late to store it in the cellar, let alone the livestock and so on.

There was only time to pack up the valuables, and they all hugged the quilt and hid in the cellar with the family.

While the villagers were hiding, the barbarian soldiers who rode fast horses towards Hedi Village also heard the sound of a gong.

They paused involuntarily when they heard the sound of the gong, did they expose themselves?He involuntarily turned his gaze to the leader Zuoye.

Zuo Ye's fast horse also stopped, his cold eyes narrowed, he made a gesture and then quickly ran towards Hedi Village.

So what if it is discovered?He did not believe that these villagers could not be caught.

A group of people rushed towards Hedi Village quickly, and arrived at the entrance of the village in just a moment.

Sensing the stranger's message, the dogs in the village kept barking in their yard.

But after a while, the barking of these dogs stopped, which made the villagers hiding in their cellars startled, knowing that the end of these dogs might be bad or bad.

Due to the urgency of the incident, many villagers did not hold the gate tightly like Xiaohua did, nor did they think of this. Although the barbarians took some effort, they still broke the gate open.

In some homes, the courtyard walls are low, which saves more effort, and you can directly climb over the wall and enter without spending any effort to hit the door.

After some searching, some people hiding in the cellar were still found, along with a lot of food and their little money.

The remaining part of the barbarians who were not found also questioned these villagers, but the cellars of each house were relatively secret, and these villagers really didn't know.

Facing such a group of ferocious barbarians and seeing the gleaming scimitars in the hands of the barbarians, the frightened villagers did not even dare to amplify their crying voices, let alone resist.

As a result of a few young and vigorous rebellions, they were beaten and lay on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and were tightly protected by their family members.

For a moment, there was a faint crying sound in the village, which made the other villagers who were not found hiding in the cellar frightened, lest it would be their turn next.

There are also a few households who are more thoughtful. The gate is tightly mortgaged by heavy objects, and the courtyard wall is built high, which really resisted the barbarian army's barbaric attack. Among them are the village head and Meng Xiaohua's family.

Seeing that they couldn't rush in, these barbarians left here cursing and continued to the next family.

Even if some people did not find the villagers, their families were harmed by the barbarians.

The room was turned into a mess, and all the animals raised in the backyard were taken away by the barbarian army.

There is also the grain in the warehouse, although there is not much, it has been looted by the barbarians.

Fortunately, the people here know the tricky rabbit and the three caves, and they don't put all their eggs in one basket.

Almost every peasant household will dig two to three cellars in their homes, and put some grain in each cellar, as long as they can save their lives, they will not starve to death.

Soon the barbarian army found Meng Xiaohua's house, and looking at the tall fence, the few barbarian soldiers who were in charge of the search couldn't help but cursed in barbaric language.

The idea is really back, how come you met someone with such a high wall?Perhaps this is another trip in vain.

This person's prediction was right, no matter how they slammed into the door, the door was always pressed tightly and not opened.

The family of four staying in the cellar at that time was very nervously watching the movement outside.

Meng Xiaohua clasped her hands tightly. In such a cold cellar, she was so nervous that her palms were covered with sweat.

If there is an oil lamp at this time, you will definitely find that the girl's face is pale, and her eyes are staring at the exit of the cellar.

Listening carefully to the movement outside the cellar, every time the door was knocked and made a "bang bang" sound, Meng Xiaohua's heart would be stirred rapidly with the sound of the impact, with bursts of heart palpitations, and she couldn't help praying for the door in her heart. Be sure to stick with it.

Meng Xiaohua's younger brother had also woken up at this time, sitting on his mother's body with his mother covering his mouth in panic.

When did he go through this kind of battle, and was taken by his parents and sisters to hide in the cellar, and he was very sensible if he didn't cry out loud.

But it was really cold in the cellar, even though his mother wrapped him tightly in a quilt, the little guy still felt very cold and shivered uncontrollably.

The little Hua Niang who was holding her son was naturally the first to feel his trembling body, and she couldn't help but pulled another quilt to cover her son.

Regardless of whether her son was scared or really cold, this is all she can do now, praying in her heart that these demons will leave the village as soon as possible, it is really terrible.

Fortunately, the sound of the door slamming finally stopped after more than a dozen times, and no footsteps were heard from the yard. It seems that these barbarians gave up temporarily.

Meng Xiaohua's tightly held hands finally relaxed a bit, but the family of four did not dare to make any moves, nor did they plan to leave the cellar, for fear that the barbarian army would turn back.
