The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 199

The days soon came to the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and everyone's nightmare came true, and the long-haired ghost appeared in Willow Town.

If it was someone else's story, He Tao might think that they were so scared that they were all soldiers, but the news came back from the inquiry of Jushiwei, and He Tao had to accept this cruel fact.

As a soldier who has fought on the battlefield for nearly ten years, Fu Shi is very aware of the importance of information. In fact, as soon as he learned of the start of the war, Fu Shi has already managed the house in the Great Wasteland as a barracks.At twelve o'clock, there are giant stone guards patrolling around the courtyard at all times. He has also established a message sharing system with the militia team organized by Lizheng--beacon smoke transmission, and set up a fixed station on the road from the town to Rongshu Village. "Outpost" - an abandoned thatched hut on a hillside with a good view, every day there are giant stone guards there to keep an eye on the movement outside.

When the long-haired team appeared on the road from Liushu Town to Rongshu Village, the "sentinel" lit the beacon fire as agreed, and the giant stone guard stationed in the yard noticed it immediately, and he also hurriedly lit the beacon fire. The people in the team also immediately learned the news.

Just as the gong was beating, the village was in chaos, but Dahuangdi began to evacuate in an orderly manner. This was not only because of the short distance they entered the mountain, but also because they had conducted evacuation drills.

The exercise was a concept proposed by He Tao. Fu Shi, Fu Quan and others discussed and completed the most reasonable process. Everyone knows what to do after seeing the so-called beacon fire, and where to go with what to bring!
With the beacon smoke, everyone in the Great Wasteland immediately put down what they were doing and gathered at the gate.The elderly, children, and pregnant women are all key protection targets. He Tao has arranged "guards" for everyone who needs protection. For example, Cheng Miao's guard is Fu Tian. Cheng Miao cannot leave Fu Tian's sight at any time. When leaving, Fu Tian can immediately escort Cheng Miao to the supplies department.

He Tao's bodyguard is not Fu Shi. Fu Shi has many things to take care of, and it is impossible for him to stay by her side all the time. He can only be on night shift, and during the day, Zhu Niang and Ju Niang are by her side.After Zhuniang and Juniang heard the siren from the backyard, they held her by one arm, almost carrying her all the way forward, while Meiniang and Lanniang held Dongzhi, Dongye and Dongzhi respectively. behind them.

All those who can move on their own need to take at least one bag from the porter at the gate, and the strong men of the Stone Guard need to bring two.These bundles are the evacuation supplies bags prepared by the servants in advance, which contain a thick cotton robe, ten catties of fried rice noodles, a pack of dried meat, a pack of seasonings, commonly used pills, fire pockets... one pack is It can guarantee the living needs of an adult for ten days.

In addition, Fu Shi also prepared a refuge in the mountains, which was where Li Yousi lived before he came to the Great Wasteland.He asked Li Yousi to lead people to clean up the cave, and dug a hole in the cave to store a whole set of supplies, including food, clothes, pots and pans, necessary bedding, hunting gear, and even coal for heating.

Two sets of supplies to ensure that they will not be short of food and clothing no matter whether they can reach the shelter smoothly or not.

When He Tao and the others arrived at the door, He Youliang and Chunya were already waiting there fully armed.

A pair of giant stone guards opened the way at the front, and the elderly, children, and pregnant women who needed protection followed closely behind. Fu Shi led the other giant stone guards to break through and bury their traces. Everyone in the Great Wasteland arrived at the refuge smoothly.

The refuge is a spoon-shaped cave, the entrance is a large hole of nearly [-] square meters, and there is a long and narrow passage inside.The cave was dimly lit, cold and damp, and became more so the further we went in.Li Yousi lived here for a long time, and he once wanted to thoroughly explore this mysterious cave where he didn't know where it would lead. Unfortunately, the lighting tools were not strong enough, and he almost died in the cave after the torch was extinguished.

Li Yousi has tried his best to arrange the refuge. He cleared the miscellaneous stones in the narrow passage, spread a thick layer of dry straw on the ground, and laid mattresses on it, and arranged the passage like a A Chase shop.But the cave is a cave after all, no matter how it is arranged, it cannot be as comfortable as home.He Tao shivered involuntarily as soon as she entered the cave, and she didn't come back to herself until she sat on the Datong bunk. She had the real feeling of being a refugee, and she really became a refugee!

She turned her head to look at the people on the left and right, and everyone looked terrified.Only the ignorant children didn't know anything, thought they had come to a new playground, and ran around happily.

"mother……"

Dong Zhi and Dong Zhi rolled over from the side one after another, they really rolled over.It was cold in the cave, and Mei Niang and Lan Niang put two coats on them as soon as they came in, they really looked like two little balls now.

He Tao stretched out his hand to let them come into his arms, and the two little guys rolled towards her with babbling, then hugged her leg and giggled non-stop.

He Tao touched their faces and felt that the temperature was normal, so he felt relieved.Fortunately, the adults said that the children's resistance is much weaker, and she is most worried about the children getting sick.Although I have prepared common pills, it is of course best not to use them.

The twins stuck next to He Tao for a while, then continued to imitate the ball, and rolled inside, looking for their leader, Fu Tingting.

Fu Shi came over and asked, "Daughter-in-law, how do you feel? Are you feeling well in your stomach?"

He Tao shook his head: "No, it's fine...it's just a little cold."

She hardly ever goes out in winter, she always thought that as long as she wore enough thick clothes, she would keep warm. After entering the cave, she realized that she was so naive. She had already worn three thick cotton jackets and still felt that they were not warm enough, especially on her feet. , it's already a bit chilly.She looked at Fu Shi's feet. He was wearing pirated UGGs sewn from rabbit skin by He Tao.She still remembers when Fu Shi persuaded her to make a pair herself when they were ready, how she replied at that time - I don't go out in winter, so there is no need for it!
Fu Shi followed her gaze to look at his feet, then looked at the cotton shoes on He Tao's feet, and suddenly understood why He Tao's expression was so responsible, he grabbed He Tao's feet with a smile, regardless of He Tao's low She objected loudly - someone else was there, took off her shoes, and pinched her feet vigorously for him.

Fu Shi often does this, especially when He Tao was pregnant last time, her feet were swollen, and he pinched her almost every day.He Tao looked around nervously, and found that the others were resting quietly, no one was looking at them, so he stopped being coy, and said in a low voice, "Shitou, you are so kind."

Fu Shi smiled so much that he showed two rows of big teeth: "It's right to be nice to a wife, how about it, is it still cold?"

He Tao nodded: "It's much better...Actually, it wasn't that cold at first, it's just that the earth dragon is burning at home every day, and it's just that I'm not used to it."

Fu Shi stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a heater."

After about a quarter of an hour, Fu Shi came over with a low bamboo basket in his hands. He Tao stretched out his head and saw that there was a porcelain pot in the basket, and the bottom of the pot was covered with a layer of plant ash and red-hot charcoal.

"This one can be held to warm your hands. If your feet are cold, you can put them next to your feet, so you won't be afraid of the cold."

He Tao's eyes shine, Fu Shi is indeed a practical man!
Fu Shi sat down next to He Tao, and said, "Don't worry, Maozi won't stay in our village forever..."

He Tao joked bitterly: "Tell me, will they go crazy when they enter the village and find no one there?"

"No." Fu Shi thought about it seriously and said, "They won't be mad, but they will burn down all the houses in the village in all likelihood!"

"..." He Tao glared at Fu Shi.

Fu Shi said innocently: "I also heard from my second uncle that our old house was burned down. They lived in Grand Uncle's house for almost two years, and it was rebuilt after the war was over."

This is a real lesson learned from the past, not his nonsense.

The three courtyards of their house have just been repaired!It's only been two months!Is this the most important thing, He Tao is completely terrified, God, if their house is burned down, where are so many of them going to live? !Could it be that he has been living in the cave until the long hair retreats?

"When do you think they're going to leave?"

"I don't know, maybe they won't enter our village..."

The "sentinel" would light a beacon as soon as he saw Changmao appearing on that road. Maybe Changmao stopped in the village ahead, maybe they went further, who can say for sure!

He Tao forced herself to think in a positive direction, but what she didn't expect was that other people in the village thought more positively than she did.

As soon as the people in the village received the news, they all hid in the mountains. They didn't have a refuge like the Great Badlands, so they could only tremble in the woods with their most valuable belongings in their bags.They waited and waited and waited until it was almost dark. When the people in the Great Wasteland were preparing dinner, most people in the village thought that Changmao would not enter the village or even if he did enter the village, he would have already left. They all went down the mountain and went to their own homes.

Fu Shi arranged for people to watch and patrol outside, and naturally he knew about this situation, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to stand still.

Before dark, the "sentinel" who discovered the enemy's situation had wandered around in the mountains for half a day, and finally came to the refuge to join the main force.He brought more detailed information, and what he saw was a long-haired army.

Fu Shi frowned and asked, "Big troop? How many people are there?"

The "sentinel" thought for a while and said, "I guess there are at least 1000 people! The distance is too far, and I can't see clearly. I just saw a lot of people coming from the direction of the town."

1000 people?Fu Shi thought to himself, this number is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.From this figure, there is no practical news to analyze. Was it defeated by Da Qi's army and retreated, and the remnants of the stragglers passed by here? Woolen cloth?
He felt that it was necessary for him to go to the town to investigate. He had to find out why Long Mao came to Willow Town, and then he could decide when to go down the mountain and go home.

On this day, only two families of the villagers who took refuge in the mountain did not go down the mountain, and they were all from the Great Wasteland—the members of the Fu family, and the Rong family who were inspired by the Fu family and also prepared a refuge.
