Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 84
Before Shen Yuexi returned home, the news of Xirong's army had spread throughout Xiaogang Village.

The men in the village volunteered to help at the pass, while the women cooked at home.The whole village was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

In the past, Xirong people came to Xiaogang Village mostly to grab something, but now they actually sent troops to the village, it was like a bolt from the blue.

There is an old saying: Wherever a large army passes by, not a blade of grass will grow.

If it cannot withstand the enemy's attack, Xiaogang Village will surely cease to exist.Everyone's only hope now is Xiao Zhuo and his five hundred soldiers.

When Shen Yuexi arrived at the village square, the elderly Li was standing on a platform made of adobe, talking to a large group of women surrounding him.

"...With Mr. Pei here, we will be fine."

As soon as Lizheng finished speaking, a woman in the crowd screamed loudly: "He is powerful, no matter how powerful he is, he can beat a few Xirong people. This time, Xirong has 1000 people!"

The surrounding women also became agitated, discussing among themselves.

Shen Yuexi looked into the crowd, and the woman who was shouting was Yang Cong's mother.

This woman, I heard that when the centurion from Xirong came, she took the initiative to confess her daughter.Everyone thought she was from the same village, so they didn't care about her.I didn't expect to disturb people's hearts here again this time.

"Let's run quickly, how can we fight against the Xirong army," Yang Cong's mother said to the women around, "Don't send food forward, everyone will die if you leave late."

Li Zheng raised his hand to comfort everyone and said, "Everyone, don't be afraid, trust Mr. Pei, he will protect us."

"An outsider," Yang Cong's mother said sarcastically, "it's not reliable at all!"

She turned her head and said to the thin woman next to her: "He killed so many Xirong people, and the Xirong people have launched an army to take revenge. From my point of view, he might be the first one to run away."

The skinny woman nodded and said: "Ms. Onion is right, we should hurry up and call our man back. I heard that Xirong will only arrive at night, so we still have time to run."

After the thin woman finished speaking, several other women agreed.

"That's right, we ordinary people can't resist the army of Xirong at all."

"Sister, don't hesitate, my family has a car, and our two families will go to the south gate together."

"Then call my guy back quickly."

The women talked a lot, and some impatient ones were about to leave.Li Zheng was helpless for a moment, he could only shake his head and sigh.

At this time, a young woman's voice sounded from behind the crowd:

"and many more."

Everyone turned their heads, and even the woman who was about to leave stopped.

Everyone recognized Shen Yuexi and stepped back to make way for her.

Shen Yuexi walked to the stage and said to Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, I have a few words to tell everyone."

Lizheng couldn't control the scene, and Zhengzheng had a headache.Seeing Shen Yuexi coming, he hurriedly said: "Miss Pei, you don't have to be polite, just say it."

After speaking, Li Zheng stood aside.

Standing on the stage, Shen Yuexi took a deep breath to calm down her nervousness so that her legs would not tremble.

Regardless of her past and present lives, she has never spoken in front of so many people.Standing on the stage for the first time, seeing dozens of eyes from the audience focusing on her, she couldn't help being nervous.

But until now, she must not back down, and she has to hold on even if she bites the bullet.

If these women are allowed to call back the men, they will run away with their families.It will be a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers defending the pass.Originally, Xiao Zhuo had many enemies with few, and the five hundred soldiers didn't even have any weapons.If there is another panic in the rear.The battle is lost.

"Uh...everyone," Shen Yuexi stammered, "everyone, listen to me."

"What can you say?" Yang Cong's mother shouted, "With your man protecting you, you have nothing to be afraid of."

"That's right, her husband can protect her from escaping, what about us people." The thin woman also shouted, "She has nothing to worry about, we are not."

Shen Yuexi shook her head and said, "No, everyone... Actually, I'm also very scared."

She did not confront Yang Cong's mother directly, but admitted it directly and frankly.This move was beyond the expectations of the women, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.

"Everyone, look around," she raised her eyes to look around, "We have lived here for generations, how many times we have been plundered by the Xirong people, and after three months of severe drought, those who should leave have already left. And us people...why are we still here?"

"This is our home." A woman responded frankly, "I don't want to leave."

Everyone looked at Shen Yuexi.It made Shen Yuexi feel that there seemed to be a power in her body, and this power made her speak fluently.

"Yes, our home. It used to be dead here, and people lived in fear all day long, struggling to get by. Now...there are the crowing of chickens and ducks. Now you can hear the laughter of children, and we have just planted crops in the land. "

The crowd listened quietly to Shen Yuexi.

She was right, the village was a dying patient before.The patient is now recovering.There was a vibrant green in its dark brown face, laughter and laughter in its body, and the days were getting better.

Shen Yuexi raised her finger and pointed to the field in the south of the village: "Everyone, look at the tender seedlings in those fields. We will be able to harvest cabbage and radishes in the New Year...and sell them for a lot of money."

She also has two chicks at home, waiting to grow up and lay eggs and lay chickens in an infinite cycle.

"That's right, what Mrs. Pei said is true," a woman said with a smile, "When the cabbage in my field is harvested, I can sell it for a lot of money, and I can buy new clothes for my baby during the Chinese New Year."

"I heard that Dongji Town is harvesting radishes. Do you want to replace the piece of land where my family grows leeks with radishes?"

"Sister, please don't, my chives have just been harvested and sold for two taels of silver in Dongji Town. They are growing fast."

Seeing that the crowd was gradually drifting away, Shen Yuexi quickly stopped everyone's discussion and returned to the topic:
"Everyone, the Xirong people will come at night, and my husband will lead his soldiers to meet the Xirong people at the pass. As long as we all work together, we will be able to defeat the enemy."

"But the other party has 1000 people." Someone reminded worriedly.

Shen Yuexi has adapted to speaking on stage at this time, and she smiled confidently: "We have formulated a strategy, please believe that we will win. This is our hometown, and we will never hand it over to the Xirong people. "

Maybe it was her confident smile, maybe it was her vow to protect her hometown, and the crowd was moved.

Li Zheng, who was standing next to him, also stepped forward and said, "Dear fellows, Mrs. Pei is right. Our ancestors lived in Xiaogang Village, and we will never let it out."

Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei, just arrived here, and she can guard Xiaogang Village so firmly. It's a shame that they, who were born and bred, want to run away instead.

"Miss Pei, what are we going to do?" a woman shouted.

"Yeah, tell us what to do," another woman also raised her hand, "we'll listen to you."

Yang Cong's mother saw that everyone was looking at Shen Yuexi expectantly, so she murmured bitterly to herself:
"You have all been fooled by this girl."

"Everyone should send food to the soldiers on the front line, so let's continue," Shen Yuexi smiled mysteriously, "But I hope everyone will donate their own oil and send it to the front line."

"Oil? What is it for?" All the women looked at each other.
