Chapter 263 Dong Brothers
On the third day after the post was arranged, Zhou Qingyun came to the farm again. However, in addition to daily news and personnel rotation, this time, there were also different news, that is, many families in the city proposed marriages to Qin Juren. When they first heard the word "proposal", Zhu Da thought that everyone was thinking about Qin Qin. He thought that Qin Qin was still young, and everyone was too anxious.
"... Everyone asked you, saying that you are old enough, and you are willing to marry your sister, niece, etc., and you are willing to give you a decent dowry..." Zhou Qingyun said with a smile, but he didn't expect that everyone was thinking about Zhu Da.
Zhu Da was stunned at first, then smiled and refused, saying that he was not in a hurry to get married, and asked Zhou Qingyun to bring the message back. He could understand the intentions of everyone in the city. A desperate person who only knows how to fight and kill is risky, but a young man who knows how to manage and do business has a long-term future. With the factor of Qin Juren, he suddenly became a popular hot item.
However, Zhu Da had no such plan. Now considering these things, he not only did not have the intention, but also was afraid of implicating others and also dragging him down.
During this period, Zhu Da also went to the city twice. In addition to visiting Qin Juren, he also went to several houses to check out these places where he arranged for people to repair and store supplies. Although he did not personally keep an eye on these things in the city, Chang Kai and the others did not slacken at all. These places became construction sites, busy and enthusiastic.
It is said that the twelfth lunar month in Datong is the coldest time of the year, but I didn't expect it to be a little colder as time goes by. "This year is particularly cold." Many people say so, and the snow has not stopped completely. It is often sunny for half a day and half a day. The next one or two snow is standing a little higher and looking at the distant mountain plains, mostly vast, silver-covered everywhere, and the scenery is quite pleasant, but this beautiful scenery makes Zhu Da feel heavy. He looks at the east and north more often every day. Even if there is no war of smoke, he cannot relax.
After Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun set up posts, many people thought it was unnecessary. The people coming and going were nothing more than the people of the county and merchants. What could these people have to do to defend the embankment? However, on the sixth day of setting up posts, the posts played a role. Five people approached the farm when it was dark, but when they were three miles away from the farm, they were discovered by swimming secret posts. When they approached two miles, twenty young and strong men had already sent to deal with it.
"...If there is no guard post, if the person coming is a thief, our farm will be in big trouble..." Everyone said so.
According to the rules set by Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, there was no need to report it immediately if there were less than ten people who came, and there was no need to report it immediately. Instead, the patrol team responsible for going out that day went to deal with it. According to Zhu Da's original estimate, there were less than ten people without riding horses. The twenty young and strong people trained in the farm could handle it. Who would have thought that something went wrong?
Four young policemen led by Ji Xiaodong and Chen Dashan and fifteen young refugee men went to deal with the situation with weapons. This was almost the first time these young people went out to perform a mission. Everyone was a little excited, with enough food and clothing, holding spears, and walking along the way in the queue, feeling majestic. Unexpectedly, the five people were very alert. They stopped when they were fifty steps away, and stood there and asked, "Who is the person coming!"
Near the farmland, there are his own territory, servants, young policemen and even refugees who think that their family is the rightful party. After hearing the other party’s shouting, he became angry. Zhang Jinbei immediately shouted back: "What do you guys do sneakily? You are not good people at first glance. Kneel down and don’t move, otherwise you will feel better!"
"You don't look like good people. Stop there and don't come over!" The other party also had a bad tone. It was only a few dozen steps away. Everyone could see each other clearly. The five people had only two men, two women and one child. Although these two people were a bit strong, there were twenty young and strong men holding swords and guns here. Naturally, they would not take the threat from the few people seriously. They kept leaning towards the other side, and they did not forget their formation when they leaned over.
After being trained in the farm for more than a month, it was still effective. The twenty people formed a column of four and five verticals and pressed forward. Although there were not many people, the oppression was very strong. The spear flashed with cold light under the reflection of the setting sun and the snow, adding a bit of momentum. The few people there took two steps back, and a child cried out, and then the woman covered her mouth.
At this point, there is no need to be nervous. Among the five people who came, women and children, did not look like thieves, but both sides had already choked and no one was willing to give in. Moreover, at this moment, Zhu Da's man imposingly suppressed him. The five people on the other side had no intention of giving in, which made him even more unable to stop.
When the two sides were closer to twenty steps, a man over there shouted: "I'm welcome to get closer!"
None of the twenty young and strong people in the farm took this threat seriously, but no one expected that the man took Zhang Gong from behind before he finished speaking and stood still. Zhang Gong took an arrow and shot it out. Within twenty steps, the arrow was invisible. Before Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei could react urgently, one of them was caught and screamed.
Who would have thought of a bow and arrow! Another person was shot, so how many more arrows could be shot at this distance? What if he was shot?
Many of the twenty people in Tianzhuang had flashed these thoughts in their minds. Some people hadn't thought so much, but everyone was shrouded in tension and fear. They felt stiff all over and breathing was not smooth. The next moment, they only heard someone shouting "Oh my God". Three young soldiers ran away. When they ran, seven or eight refugees followed. Zhang Jinbei took a step back. He also wanted to run with him. What's the use of having a spear in his hand? The bow and arrow could kill people within dozens of steps. Zhang Jinbei also noticed Ji Xiaodong beside him trembled and his face was pale. It turned out that he was also afraid. Zhang Jinbei inexplicably thought that if the two people ran together, the guilt would be smaller.
"No...can't run, others can run, we can't run, let's fight, fight with them!" Ji Xiaodong's voice trembled violently, Zhang Jinbei was shocked and immediately reacted. They were Zhu Da's confidants. It was because of Zhu Da that they had today's life. If they ran away, they would be gone. Zhu Da hated the cowards who escaped in the face of battle the most.
"...I'll fight!" Zhang Jinbei yelled.
After the roar, Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbeiping rushed over with spears. The young and strong refugee who had not escaped behind him was stunned for a moment, and rushed up, making screaking noises of unknown significance.
Only five steps here, but saw another person there was also a bow and arrow, and there were actually two bows! Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei who were rushing in front staggered, feeling like falling into an ice cave, and their whole body was cold. But at this moment, there was no room for hesitation and regret. Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei both roared wildly, speeding up their pace, and they could only fight for him!
"The arrow is bald! I'm fine!" "The arrow is bald! I'm fine!"
At this tense moment, the man who was shot in the arrow suddenly shouted, but everyone was shouting wildly within the thirty steps, and there were children crying loudly. No one could hear the shouts of the "Arrowhead".
After rushing out for another three steps, someone finally heard the shouting. The refugee who followed him was Fu Zhiling, and also shouted, "He was not caught! He was fine!" "He was not caught! He was fine!"
The rushing team stopped, and the people behind hurriedly stopped, and raised their spears at the same time to prevent the flat spear from poking the companions in front. Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei also stopped. Although the weather was cold and they had only been running for more than a dozen steps, they were both sweating profusely and felt exhausted. At this time, the two of them would not question the calls of their companions behind them, because during the charge, the other party never shot arrows, which shows that there was no hostility. If it was hostile, it would be too late to not shoot arrows at such a close distance.
At such a close distance, it was extremely nervous to see the other two. Seeing Ji Xiaodong and the others stop, the two slowly loosened their bowstrings. The women and children who were walking with them had already run out for more than twenty steps under their cover. They could see the two of them half surrounded by animal skins and iron forks under their feet. Everyone was familiar with this dress, and they should be hunters.
"What are you here to do?" Ji Xiaodong asked weakly. At this time, he could probably guess that it was just a misunderstanding and misunderstanding.
The two hunters who had the bow and arrow over there breathed a sigh of relief. The older one turned around and shouted, "Damn, don't run away, come back!"
Another hunter frowned and looked at the young people in front of him, shook his head and fist and said, "Our brothers are hunters from Heishi Mountain in the west. I heard that there is a farm here to gather the poor people and come here to surrender. I am Dong Bao, this is my brother Dong Zhen, and my sister-in-law and nephew and nieces over there."
After the people running around ran dozens of steps, they also saw the scene here. They hesitated and turned back again. After the previous one, they were still in shock and exhausted, but they could communicate well.
"These two bows of our brothers are putting out, and there is nothing we can't get over yet, but I didn't expect you guys to rush over."
Hunters are different from farmers. Hunters can eat meat and have to sell prey by themselves. They are often strong and flexible in their minds, without the weakness and numbness of ordinary people. The Dong brothers are both hunters, and they are more powerful in helping each other.
Because I have never suffered any losses or received any softness in my daily life, I am not so gentle and timid when encountering things. If ordinary people saw these more than 20 people coming, I would have probably kneeled down long ago and would do whatever orders they had, but the Dong brothers choked directly.
"... Our brothers have also fought with Min Zhuang in the village. As long as these two bows are scattered, they may not win, but they have never suffered any losses..."
