By the time the family of four finished eating, it was already dark.The four of them opened the grain bags in the room that was temporarily used as a warehouse, poured the grain into each jar, and then sealed it with oilcloth several layers to prevent water from seeping in.Luo Ping poured the food, Luo Qing sealed it, and Luo Xin carried the sealed jars one by one to the octagonal pavilion in the lotus pond, and then threw the jars down one by one.He had already seen it the last time he came here. The water in the pool was green, and the jars thrown into the pool could not be seen at all.He didn't know what the future situation would be like, but he planned for the worst.Hiding the grain under the water without exposure will give you an extra chance of survival.

As for these jars being placed under water for a long time, they will become damp, and water will seep in, that is better than starving to death in the future.Even if there is no riot in the future, he can afford to accompany him for dozens of grains and silver.

Although Luo Shi was heartbroken, Luo Ping felt that Luo Xin's actions were a bit unfounded, but before Luo Xin's decision was always correct, he hesitated again and again, and agreed to Luo Xin's decision, which is why this family of four came to the county .

After working in the middle of the night, two hundred catties of grain were left behind, and the remaining eight hundred catties of grain were sealed in jars and thrown into the lotus pond. The family of four had some supper, washed and slept.

the next day.

Luo Xin's family locked the door and returned to Shanglin Village.Luo Ping wanted to hire a gatekeeper, but there was no one who knew everything in a hurry, and besides the food hidden in the lotus pond, there was nothing valuable in this house, so the Luo Ping family simply left .But before leaving, Luo Xin went to the horse market to buy a relatively good horse.Since Zhou Yu's horse was given to his father, he would not be able to grow old with his elder brother's horse when he came to Yanglin County.Now that I have income, I naturally have to treat myself better.After buying a horse, he went to the blacksmith's shop and brought back the Guan knife he made.

Back in Shanglin Village, Luo Xin could feel the tension in the atmosphere.The more than 80 light and strong people in Shanglin Village were divided into two groups, patrolling in the morning and evening.Foreign refugees are prohibited from entering the village. Zhang Shu is indeed an experienced person. The seven villagers with horses are also divided into three teams, leaving Shanglin Village from time to time to inquire about news.

All this has nothing to do with Luo Xin, he did not participate in the patrol.The patrolling requirement is between 15 and 35 years old, and even Luo Ping and Luo Qing don't meet the requirements.However, Luo Ping and Luo Qing are different from ordinary people, they are people with martial arts skills, and they are also the most capable of fighting in Shanglin Village, so Luo Ping and Luo Qing also joined the patrol team, including uncle and cousin also joined in.

Luo Xin began to live a regular life, as usual.Reading, learning contemporary culture and art, writing "Shushan Biography", playing flute, playing chess, and practicing martial arts.

However, since returning from Yanglin County, Luo Xin has added one more content to his martial arts practice, which is to re-learn Guan Dao.

this day.

Luo Xin was conceiving a novel when he saw his elder brother rushing in.

"Little brother! Stepfather is looking for you!"

Luo Xin put down his pen and said, "What's the matter?"

"I heard from Tanma that they found rogues coming towards our village."

Luo Qing wholeheartedly wanted to be a great general. Not only did Luo Qing not feel the slightest panic when this incident happened to prevent bandits, but he was very excited every day, and even used the way of drama in his usual speech.Seeing the excited look on his elder brother's face, Luo Xin's heart sank, and he couldn't help but sighed softly.

"It's time to come!"

Immediately put down the book, went out and walked towards Zhang Shu's house.After entering Zhang Shu's study, he saw three people already sitting in the study, namely Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and uncle Luo Zhi.

Luo Xin wasn't surprised at this point, there were only these three talents in this village, and to deal with such a major event, these three talents naturally formed a core, which was equivalent to a handsome tent.The reason why Luo Xin is called is that although Luo Xin has not yet achieved fame, he has shown that his talent is not weaker than that of a scholar in the matter of Wendou.

"I met Zhang Shu, teacher, uncle." Luo Xin walked into the study room and saluted one by one.

"Xin'er is here, hurry up and take your seat!" Luo Zhi, as Luo Xin's uncle, was naturally the first to speak, but there was a worry on his brows.

Luo Xin sat down politely, but did not rush to ask about the situation of the rogues.He knew that he couldn't be messed up at this time, presumably Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi's hearts were already a little messed up. After all, they were not warriors, but literati, and they were only scholars. Confusion is not normal.Even Luo Xin, who has been a man for two lifetimes, is also flustered at this moment.Regardless of previous life or future life, he has never encountered such a thing as a bandit, how can he not panic?
But he knew that if he showed a flustered or anxious look as soon as he came in, it would make the three scholars who were already a little flustered even more flustered. Now he has to pretend to be calm even if he pretends.So he just sat there calmly, looking at Zhang Shu.But his palms were unknowingly full of sweat.

Sure enough, when the three scholars saw Luo Xin's calm appearance, they couldn't help showing shame on their faces.The panic in their hearts was less, but in the hearts of the three scholars, because Luo Xin must not have known the news that the bandits had arrived, otherwise, how could an 11-year-old child be so calm?

Therefore, before anyone could speak, Luo Zhi said impatiently, "Xin'er, you don't know that the bandits are already heading towards our village, do you?"

"I know!" Luo Xin nodded lightly and said, "Brother told me just now."

"Oh..." Luo Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Then you are still so calm?"

Luo Xin laughed and said, "So what if you panic? You can't retreat from the enemy!"

Luo Zhi's face turned red, Lin Chang's face showed pride, and Zhang Shu's eyes showed admiration.The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed a lot.At this time, Luo Xin asked:

"How many rogues are there?"

"It is said that there are more than 200 people. They just ransacked Xialin Village, and now they are coming towards our Shanglin Village."

"More than 200 people?" Luo Xin couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "That's not much. Xialin Village doesn't have a strong organization? There are also a lot of people in Xialin Village, right? If there is preparation, more than 200 people will It's not easy to rob Xialin Village, right?"

"Why didn't you organize and build a wooden village? The wooden village was burned by the rogues, and then they attacked. The poor people in Xialin Village were almost killed." Zhang Shu sighed.

Luo Xin's heart tensed when he heard that, he didn't expect those rogues to know about fire attacks.Thinking that the wooden villages in Shanglin Village were also made of wood, Luo Xin couldn't help becoming anxious, and said anxiously:

"Uncle Zhang, hurry up and get someone to pour water on Wang Muzhai, so that it won't be easy to ignite."
