There
must be something hateful about poor people.
This world is inherently cruel, and the people living at the bottom can only endure it silently if they have no power to resist.
"Xing Luo, do you think it's appropriate to shoot the arrow now?"
He was seriously asking for advice.
To be honest, he wanted to spare the refugees. If shooting arrows could deter them, killing a few refugees would also make the villagers feel better.
These people are also people of Dayan -
Shen Xingluo glanced at the patrol team and saw hesitation on their faces.
"Then let's fire the arrow."
Cheng Xi also saw the entanglement on everyone's faces. Although he shouted so arrogantly at the top of his lungs on the way here, it still takes courage to face all this.
There is an essential difference between refugees and bandits.
Bandits have done many evil things, and killing them is just and natural. However, refugees are good people, and they would not be desperate if it were not for the natural disasters that hit the place where they live.
Changing places, if the place with the worst snow disaster becomes Lin'an Prefecture, they are not sure what they will be like now.
When Shen Manyun heard this, his eyes flashed brightly and he raised his hand.
"Fire the arrow!"
There were several swish swish sounds, and the arrow feathers shot forward through the cracks in the rocks, and the nails made a dull drilling sound in the snow.
Cheng Xi had excellent eyesight and could see most of the arrow feathers falling on the ground at a glance, but only a few refugees were hit.
Isn't it the patrol's archery skills?
A month ago, this result would have been no exaggeration.
But after a month of training, they have long been transformed.
The reason for this is because the patrol team has a backup plan.
Every arrow carries a strong warning.
If the other party is smart, he will know that Shenjiacun is not easy to mess with.
The leader was horrified, and the refugees standing behind him quickly took a few steps back to distance themselves. Some even left shouting.
The original team of thirty or forty people was instantly cut in half.
"Why are you panicking? There are no more arrows now. They must only have these, give them all to me!"
Hunger defeated his reason, and the leader was cruel, picked up the weapon again and came back here.
Behind the stone wall, Shen Manyun sighed heavily.
"Alas..."
The patrol team members also sighed heavily.
"Oh -"
"Humph -"
Cheng Daqian expressed his dissatisfaction.
Only Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi's expressions did not change, and the latter even touched Shen Qingsong's furry little head next to him to express comfort.
The 20 or so refugees are really not worth the patrol team's action. The traps on the ground are enough to drink a pot.
But it turned out that there was no accident. All 20 refugees were caught in the trap behind, including the leader!
Some people were lucky enough to be pierced by the cold and still survive, but those who were unlucky were killed on the spot.
The patrol only fired dozens of arrow fletches from beginning to end as a warning, and the war ended.
When the last refugee stumbled away dragging one leg, Shen Mantun walked out of the stone wall in a low tone.
"Let's go, pack up."
At that time, behind a snowdrift a few hundred meters away, a group of people who had witnessed an overwhelming victory looked horrified.
"Boss, boss, they are so strong!"
"They killed a group of victims without killing anyone?"
This is not an ordinary village, it is obviously a bandit village!
It's a good thing they didn't rush forward, otherwise they would be the ones dead now!
Wave after wave of victims came from the north, and the first few groups to arrive had already set their sights on the seemingly affluent Shenjia Village.
Just because they didn't seem to be easy to mess with, I kept them under surveillance.
After a long time, a group of refugees arrived to attack the village. They also wanted to see if the people inside could fight from behind.
You don't know this, it scares me half of my life!
"I've known for a long time that this Shen Village should not be messed with, but they are too strong -" "
Let's go, let's stop staring at this place. You might lose your destiny one day."
More than a dozen people got up and rushed towards the place in a hurry . He ran back as if there was a hungry wolf chasing him behind him.
He will never come again, even if he puts it on his neck!
The patrol team left one by one, and only Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were left behind the stone wall.
The two of them looked at the snowdrift a few hundred meters away.
"How about this deterrent?"
"How many days can it last?"
The deterrent is there, and it's eye-catching enough, but it's not ruthless enough.
Shen Xingluo originally wanted to use the group of people who attacked the village to establish his authority, and warned other refugees who were lurking in the dark to watch what happened that they were not to be messed with.
However, Shen Manyun and the patrol team could not bear it, and their deterrence was compromised. The attack of victims on that day seemed
to
be the beginning.
After Shenjia Village was peaceful for a few days, it was attacked by another group of victims. The patrol team members have slowly accepted it.
And two days later, when the third batch of victims targeted this place, the patrol team members could shoot arrows at the enemy without any burden, showing no mercy at all.
"How come these people can never be finished?"
"They're just staring at our piece of meat, right?"
"Come as you come, whoever is afraid of whom, we will deal with as many brothers as they come!"
Gradually, the Shen family village became more mature. He built a fortress that could never be conquered, and gradually became famous among this generation of disaster victims.
For the patrol team, it has become a compulsory course for them to beat the refugees from time to time after being trained to survive.
In late February, one-third of the snow on the ground had melted away.
"Minus 10 degrees."
In the small courtyard of the Shen family, Cheng Xi held a thermometer in one hand and read the scale on it.
The temperature is rising steadily, which is enough to indicate that the snowstorm is about to pass.
This is a good thing for Dayan as a whole, but not so good for Lin'an Mansion.
It can be said to be very bad.
A large number of refugees from the north have accumulated near Lin'an Prefecture. Although many people continue to go south, a large number of them remain.
According to Shen Qingsong's statistics, the number of people passing by has exceeded 50,000.
Then there will definitely be many people staying nearby.
When Shen Xingluo pushed open the door and walked in, Cheng Xi just put away the thermometer.
"Here's a letter from Qin Zheng."
Hongwei Escort traveled all over the country and raised a lot of homing pigeons. The last time they went to Fucheng, the communication function was opened inside and outside Fucheng. Uncle Xizi was very happy when he received the first letter from his son.
"What's written in the letter?"
"The merchant ships from Huaishui Wharf came twice more, but they didn't bring much food. There were also many places south of Lin'an Prefecture that were in trouble."
If the Qin family hadn't been willing to spend money , , I'm afraid I won't be able to buy even a grain of rice back.
Shen Xingluo handed the letter in his hand to Cheng Xi, "The Qin Mansion has strengthened the security, everything is fine."
The fate of the third room of the Qin family has been completely changed, and Qin Zheng will not be as miserable as in his previous life.
Cheng Xi read through the letter and asked, "The imperial envoy sent from the capital has entered the territory of Lin'an Prefecture?"
The Qin family was really well informed.
Shen Xingluo nodded, thoughtfully.
In the previous life, the imperial envoy and his party lost their lives due to the intervention of people from Qingshan Village led by Zhuang Kun.
But this time Qingshan Village will not interfere again, and Zhou Lesong's letter will not fall into Zhuang Kun's hands again.
Maybe he can use his trick?
