Chapter 100 Waving the flag again (two more)
The bright moon shines brightly, the day is cloudless, and at night, the clouds finally have a patch or two.

The Anti-Bandit Village was lit like daytime, and there were countless torches, big and small, like red clouds, and the dyed sky would change color.

The children were sleepy and lay on the grass, snuggling up to the woman they knew.

Many young girls yawned, or leaned against houses or trees, with tears in their eyes.

The men also leaned over there tired and fell asleep.

The patrol was nearby, and the torches looked like long dragons.

Xiao Yu slept on the hill. There were two enemy towers here. There were simple wooden beds and quilts. He slept lightly and could open his eyes with the slightest disturbance.

The fire outside was brighter than in the village, and the flag was erected in the most conspicuous position.

Before going to bed, Xiao Yu asked people to tie the flags around with wood, and the frame fixed the flags so that they would not be swayed by the wind.

Several men sat under the banner, each staring into the distance, to prevent bandits from quietly approaching in the dark.

At the same time, according to Xiao Yumao's instructions before going to bed, he got up from time to time and waved the flag according to the strokes he left.

They were illiterate, so Xiao Yumao wrote a stack on each side.

As many strokes as you swipe to the left, there will be as many pens left, and the same goes for the right.

Shake it once, take off a piece of paper, and call him up when all the papers are gone.

There were also people staring at the flag at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Yu sent someone down to instruct him to stop worrying about how the flag was swayed. If it was really dangerous, the flag on the mountain would slump, or even fall to the ground.

For a whole day, the banner either stood still, or was waved several times, but it was not shorter than an inch.

Others who don't know will watch the flag waving, and their hearts are also nervous, but most people can't understand it. Anyway, it's right to be afraid when they see the flag waving.

Shi Su leaned over there, fell into a dizzy sleep, and was shaken awake again.

"The big boss waved the flag again." said the person who waved him.

Shi Su's head hurt even more, and his temper became bad: "Which side?!"

"The one going south to the official road is about five miles away from us."

Shi Su stood up, frowning: "Can you still pass through the official road? Where are you going?"

"I don't know, why don't we send someone to take a look?"

"It's too dark here, you can see the road clearly? If you can see clearly, you can go." Shi Su said.

No one said a word.

Shi Su rubbed his drowsy head, took out the dry food in the cloth bag, and nibbled hard.

Dusk got the news that those officers and soldiers had already taken action, and they were all fierce generals. Although they used to ignore officers and soldiers, they heard that they were transferred back from the Northwest battlefield, and Shi Su was a little timid.

Among the storytellers, those who have been on the battlefield can even kill people with their eyes.

He thought about evacuating immediately, at least back to his cottage, with such good defense measures, iron walls and iron walls, nothing to be afraid of.

But after going back, what to eat, what to use, years of turbulent times, where is there any oil and water, the people are poor, and those who rob the people are even poorer.

This vote has to be done, and it will be withdrawn immediately after it is done. The cowardly and daring will starve to death, and if they do this, they will be brave.

Another person came running from a distance: "The big boss, waved the flag again! Going down the official road to the south, waved seven times!"

Today the flag was waved very frequently, but not many people waved in the same direction continuously, and the distance between each wave of the flag was very long, even the closest group of colleagues he estimated was a little far away.

In this way, they are the most recent ones.

A swing is about one hundred zhang, and seven strokes is seven hundred zhang, more than four miles and less than five miles.

In other words, those people are going this way!
Shi Su was happy for a while: "Those bastards can be considered action!"

"What do we do?" asked someone else.

"Go back and look, find a few with good eyesight, and squat down to take a closer look!" Shi Su said excitedly, and the man also got up.

Bian Ba ​​Ye, who was squatting far away to the north, also received the news.

"It's from the official road from the south?"

"Yes, moving forward."

Bian Baye frowned, did not speak, and grasped the big sword tightly around his waist.

The people next to him admired him more and more. The news received at dusk, those officers and soldiers swept across the plains, and they have swept several rounds, and they have gained a lot.

Among them, there is a group of people, according to the description and description, it should be the eldest master and the second master.

And the people there are not only the two sons of Bian Baye, but also the second master Lu, who is first-class in skill and ability and devoted to Bian Baye.

The mountain has been unfortunate, and now it is severely damaged. God seems to be deliberately playing against them and playing with them.

Wu Da and Lu Xielang are simply right-hand men!

Everyone thought that Bian Baye wouldn't be able to endure it, but it was really unexpected. After hearing the news, Bian Baye smashed the topography map he was studying, and he didn't show any cruel words or sad expression.

The fierce light with bright eyes told everyone that this incident would not have any negative impact at all, except that it made him more angry and wanted to take everyone to a vote.

"Eighth Master." Duan Fourth Master said, "Who are they?"

Fourth Master Duan glanced at him and shook his head: "I don't know."

Regarding this joint action proposed by others, I actually want to know that everyone has their own ideas.

They had only fought with the Huifeng Gang in Shiqiao County to share the spoils, and in the past few days, they clamored to join forces again, even if he trusted others, could others trust him?

"Let's hold our ground first," said Bian Baye, "They probably all thought we would do it first."

The matter on the mountain has already been spread, and now everyone is laughing at them, even the mother-in-law who cooked the rice couldn't control it, and ran away with the stuff.

Longhutang used to be majestic and mighty, and no one would give a bit of face if the name was called out.

Thinking of this, Bian Baye gritted his teeth, wishing he could go to the gangs of horse thieves, big and small, that had sprung up after the rain.

But Fourth Master Duan next to him knew that Bian Eighth Master's ability and ability, as well as his ruthlessness in doing things, were much higher than those of the boss.

"There are still a lot of people, and they should be waiting there to pick up the leaks." Fourth Master Duan thought deeply, "If everyone waited like this, they might be deadlocked, and then wait for the officers and soldiers to come and destroy us."

"Don't overestimate them." Bian Baye said in a deep voice, "There will always be people who can't hold back. The comparison is who can't hold their breath first. No matter what, those people think we will meet, but we won't. And, do you see where we are now?"

"Northernmost." Duan Fourth Master said.

"There are many places where we can retreat," Bian Baye sneered, "Who said that we have to rob the village and the county seat. Where is the richest place now, full of big fish, big meat, grain and grain?"

Fourth Master Duan paused for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "Master, you mean we're going together?"

"Kill them." Bian Baye said.
