Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 557 The Red Beard Is Here

The old and the young inside and outside the stone castle were eagerly waiting for their eyes to see through, and they were all happy to see that everyone returned safely.

After waiting to hear that there were only a dozen little pirates, everyone was relieved. Some young people even regretted that it was not their turn to fight the enemy and lost a chance to earn military industry. Otherwise, they might be able to raise a second Waiting for households.

The group practice soon ended. It was already sunset, the workshop stopped working, and everyone went home directly.

The smoke from the kitchen was curling up, it was the women who were preparing the meals for the family.The children took out their baskets and headed to the sea after dinner, while the men were already sipping old wine with the side dishes they bought at the market...

Everything is the same as before, but it seems a little different.

The same is true for every household in the stone castle.After dinner, the women and children went to catch the sea, and the men also turned their backs and went out to find friends and gossip, but no one noticed that Guanshi Zhao, Guanshi Chen, the third son Chu, and the second son Ding all went to bed. The top of the castle.

Ding Wei was standing by the wall with her hands behind her back, looking at the sea gradually being shrouded in night, her heart was really uncertain and flustered.

If her guess is correct, there may be a catastrophe on Taoyuan Island this time.Of course, she was most looking forward to guessing wrong.

pity…

There is an old-fashioned musket on the wall not far from her. Although she was obsessed with cooking in her previous life, she is not very familiar with history and these weapons. Can't even do gunpowder.

But in the country in the previous life, the history of being bombarded by foreign enemies with cannons was so painful that even children of all ages had heard of it, let alone her?
And this kind of old-fashioned musket, her deceased grandfather liked to hunt, and he also had one, which almost needs to be cleaned every few days, she is very familiar with it.

Seeing it suddenly in this time and space, or even holding it in the hands of a foreign enemy with red hair and red beard, is too terrifying.

Is Taoyuan Island going to follow in the footsteps of some small countries in the previous life, being invaded and colonized...

No!

Ding Wei slapped the stone wall hard, "This is my hard work, absolutely not!"

Brother An and the others were playing at the side. They were curious about the iron rod and wanted to sneak a few times when they heard their mother speak. They thought they were scolding themselves, so they hurriedly raised their little hands and replied, "Mother, I Don't move!"

Ding Wei turned her head to look at her son, and quickly squatted down to comfort her, "Mother is not scolding you, she is just thinking about something. But, Brother An, this iron rod is very dangerous, why don't you go downstairs and play in the patio?"

Brother An rolled his eyes wide, and took the opportunity to raise conditions, "Mother, I'll listen to you. But, can you let us go to the beach to catch the sea? The third son said that catching crabs at the beach is fun."

Xiao Sanzi is a child of a craftsman's family on the second floor. He is very lively and sensible. Recently, he often talks and plays with Brother Ang.

Ding Wei doesn't have such a strong concept of high and low, but hopes that her son will get in touch with the people more, at least understand the people's livelihood.

So he thought for a while and said, "Okay, but you have to call in two guards who can swim, and you also need to bring Sister Baishu."

"Okay, mother!"

Brother Ang was overjoyed. The last time he went to the beach to play on the waves, he fell down and drank two mouthfuls of sea water. The nurse forbade him to go to the beach again.

The group of boys were all bored, and today they finally got their mother's permission, so naturally the nanny wouldn't stop her.

Soon, the naughty boys ran downstairs in a swarm.

Standing by the wall, Ding Wei saw Cheng Niangzi and Bai Shu from a distance, and a familiar guard followed the child, so she was relieved.

"Danggui, go get the second master, General Chu, if the old master and Shan Yi are also at home, invite them to discuss matters together."

Dang Gui was cleaning the wooden couch that had been trampled dirty by the children, and was about to go downstairs after hearing this.

As a result, I met Ding Lao Er at the head, brought steward Zhao Chen, and Chu Lao San came up together.

Dang Gui asked curiously, "Madam is asking me to invite someone, why did you come here on your own without knowing the foresight?"

It's hard for others to talk, but Chu Lao San smiled and said, "There is something wrong with Madam today. I heard that I didn't eat dinner, so I asked the second master to come and see."

The two stewards, Zhao and Chen, also nodded and said, "We just came back, and after hearing what my mother-in-law said, I also felt that Madam might have something embarrassing, so come and listen."

Ding Lao Er was even more straightforward, asking, "How is your master, what happened?"

Dang Gui shook his head, and replied, "Our master saw the iron stick he brought back and didn't speak, neither ate nor drank, when the young master wanted to play tricks just now, he was kicked out."

When everyone heard this, they hurried upstairs.Only then did Dang Gui go downstairs to invite Mr. Wei and Shan Yi, but fortunately, they had just returned from gathering herbs, so they arrived soon.

When Ding Wei saw everyone, she was also surprised, "You guys came here so fast!"

Everyone saluted, Ding Laoer didn't have to be so serious as a real brother, he carefully looked at the girl's face, and said, "What's the matter, I heard you didn't eat dinner?"

"I asked Danggui to invite you here for this purpose," Ding Wei helped the old man sit down, and then motioned for everyone to sit down, Danggui poured tea, she drank a full cup, and then said, "I'm afraid there are some people on our island. A powerful foreign enemy has invaded the city, this time is no different than the small group of pirates attacking the city before, if it is not handled well, it may be..."

"What?" Ding Laoer stared, subconsciously looking at the distant sea, "Sister, where did the powerful foreign enemies come from? Aren't they just a few little pirates during the day? They have been wiped out by the three generals, do they still have companions?" ?”

Chen Guanshi and Zhao Guanshi had just rushed back from the new city, so they didn't open their mouths because they didn't understand the day's affairs.

Mr. Wei and Shan Yi knew very little, so they frowned and looked at Ding Wei.

On the contrary, Chu Lao San got up to get the musket by the wall, and asked, "Madam, is the foreign enemy you mentioned related to this red-haired man with a weird stick?"

Ding Wei nodded, "If my guess is correct, these red-haired people usually appear in groups, roaming the sea in large ships, occupying small countries directly, killing the people, and exchanging some with each other when encountering large countries. Goods, but still looking for opportunities to send news back to ask for help. In short, such people live for the purpose of burning, killing, looting, occupying other people's countries, and then taking the people away and selling them to other places as slaves. They are extremely cruel and do all kinds of evil. People call them red beards!"

Everyone's eyes were wide open, their mouths were wide open, and they didn't speak for a long time.

Although Dayue and Donghao fought continuously in the past few years, and even Tie Le had just been completely wiped out in the past two years, the war is nothing more than life and death. After the fight, they recuperate and take precautions against each other.

There are still such people in this world, a group of people whose purpose is to conquer and destroy, and a group of people who are happy to sell the people of other countries into slaves...

"Is this all true?"

Ding Laoer's expression changed. After all, he was born in a farming family. Even though there were some changes in his sister's family later, he did not experience any bloody incidents.

On the contrary, Chu Laosan pointed to the iron stick and said, "Ma'am, you mean those people used this thing to burn, kill and loot?"

Ding Wei nodded, picked up the musket and put it on the table, carefully removed the parts, exposed the barrel, and said, "Have you ever seen a thunderbolt, smell the smell here, but it is like a thunderbolt? This is called a musket, and the red beard will Put the small thunderbolt powder in, squeeze Shicheng, then aim at the target, ignite and shoot out. If you are a skilled person, you can basically hit every shot within ten feet, and take people's lives easily. "

Chu Lao San subconsciously grabbed the fire gun, sniffed it carefully, and shouted with excitement and surprise on his face, "Ma'am, this musket is really so powerful, can we make it on the island?"

Ding Wei was annoyed and amused, "Even if it can be made, it will take time. The red beard will kill him soon!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm a good weapon and couldn't resist asking a few more questions."

Chu Lao San coughed twice, even though he said so, he didn't put down his musket in his hand. Everyone was amused, but he wasn't as nervous as before.

Danggui felt sorry for his master who didn't eat at night, so he persuaded, "Master, no matter how powerful these red-haired people are, they were killed by the three generals, right? Besides, there is still Mr. Wei here, so it's really not enough to sprinkle a handful of medicine powder on them, and they can't take medicine." I poured a slice, don’t worry, it won’t be worth it if you burn yourself out.”

Mr. Wei was born in Jianghu, and he was full of gangsters. He waved his hand and said in agreement, "Danggui girl is right, nothing is as important as eating. Don't worry, whoever dares to make you unhappy, master will teach him!"

Ding Wei smiled wryly, how to talk to these "ancients" about the horror of modern weapons.

"Master, although I don't know how these red beards got to the vicinity of Taoyuan Island, most likely they have big ships, otherwise they can't withstand the storm at sea, and the number of people must not be too small. Besides..."

Ding Wei sighed, "If my guess is right, there will be a terrible weapon called artillery on their ship. This kind of firearm is just a small thunderbolt, which only hurts one person. But the artillery can be directly on the pier. Fire a thunderbolt the size of a bull's head and directly blow up the stone castle..."

"Ah, there is such a powerful thing!"

The youngest Chu immediately jumped up, with an expression that wanted to see what the cannon looked like right away. Fortunately, Danggui gave him a hard look in time, and he finally realized that such a powerful weapon is now in the hands of the enemy...

"Uh, so to speak, the red beard really should be on guard!"

Ding Laoer and the others are already pale. If someone really drives a big boat to the pier and blows up the stone castle to the sky with a single shot...

What about the women, children and children?
What about the homeland that everyone finally took down?
"No, absolutely not!"

Mr. Wei stood up and said harshly, "I'll check it out later. If it's true, I'll send them a handful of powder to see Lord Yan."

Shan Yi got up and also planned to go together.

Ding Wei hurriedly stopped the old and the young, "Master, please sit down first and listen to me."
