I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 460
In everyone's home in Yujiawan, the whole family was hugging each other and weeping bitterly, not knowing what to do.

Then I heard the news that the gong was sounded, telling the big guys to gather in the courtyard of the owner's house.

After the whole family looked at each other, they were suddenly pleasantly surprised, and they didn't care to clean up other things. Even the old and the young were all gathered towards Ning's family in the newly built yard in Yujiawan.

When the time came, there was an uproar of people, and almost everyone in Yujiawan had arrived.

"Silence, all men over the age of 15 and under the age of 40 must gather, and Manager Liu will arrange a patrol and vigil.

Among the rest, a few nimble women were selected as logistical support.

The rest of the adults built a stove to heat hot water under the propped up awning.

The children are arranged to go to bed early to avoid noise. "

Ning Pengpeng stood under the eaves, with Qingniang beside her, shouting loudly to everyone in the yard.

Hearing the boss's words, the crowd, which was a bit messy like headless chickens, finally had their own things to do, and immediately became organized.

"Returning to the old lady, apart from the servants in our own mansion, there are a total of 43 young and strong people available in Yujiawan."

Liu Guanshi was just thinking about it, and he took the servants of his own mansion to inspect.

Now that there are so many more people all of a sudden, the originally tense face is also slightly relieved.

At least with so many people, they should be able to resist those pirates, right?
Thinking of those pirates who came ashore, Guanshi Liu felt a little uneasy.

However, just now, according to the old lady's order, someone was sent to Mr. Futai for help.

As long as he can survive tonight, once the soldiers and horses from Mr. Futai's side come over, he should be fine.

Liu Guanshi's expression changed, and Ning Pengpeng looked at everyone's busy but orderly work, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.

Those pirates went ashore to plunder, and people from Ningfu organized people from Yujiawan to gather together to deal with those pirates, but what about other fishing villages?
When the common people are unarmed, they are afraid that they will only be killed.

At this moment, the lives of ordinary people are like the foam in the sea, which can easily dissipate.

"After this time, rebuild our yard."

Ning Pengpeng looked at the courtyard where he was now, and it was no different from the two-entry courtyard house built by ordinary wealthy families in Nanyue Prefecture. He didn't think there was any problem before.

But now it seems that there are problems everywhere.

"Old lady, I don't know what kind of bricks to build?"

Hearing this, Liu Hu looked around and asked a little puzzled.

Ning Pengpeng thought about it, but he didn't expect that besides the corrupt officials, there are also pirates here.

Since there are pirates infesting, it is natural not to build an ordinary wall, it must be a wall that can resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

If we want to talk about the wall to resist foreign enemies, it is naturally the famous round earth building.

Coincidentally, there are more and more fishermen in Yujia Bay.

Being separated in such a scattered way, there is no way to help in time if something happens.

It's better to build a circular earthen building directly. As long as the gate is closed, it will be a fortress, ensuring that those pirates will be helpless if they see it.

While thinking, Ning Pengpeng took a branch and drew on the ground.

"The earth building can be divided into two circles, the inner and outer circles, and the outermost circle of city walls is for the fishermen of Yujiawan to live in.

There are stairs from here to the top of the city wall, people live below, and it is enough to arrange manpower on duty to inspect.

Prevent someone from climbing up with flying claws, or someone setting fire to it. "

When Liu Hu saw the house painted by the old lady, his eyes lit up.

Wonderful, this round earth building is built with stones. Although the fishermen and the people of Ningfu are surrounded together, the fishermen all live in the outer circle and will not affect the Ningfu in the inner circle.

This wall is as high as a city wall, enough to protect the safety of big guys.

Even if the pirates come, they are not afraid to kill the fishermen silently, which greatly improves the safety of everyone.

Compared with the courtyard house they live in now, the courtyard house now has air leaks from all sides, and the safety is too poor!

Just as Liu Hu was pointing to the picture drawn by Ning Pengpeng to ask for advice, one of the team he arranged hurried over and said with panic on his face.

"Guan Liu, there is a fire approaching from the south."

Hearing this, Ning Pengpeng raised his head abruptly, exchanged glances with Liu Hu, and said in a deep voice.

"Bring a ladder and go over and have a look.

By the way, the hot water in the pot keeps burning, don't stop. "

Everyone was stunned, the hot water has already boiled a lot, what are you going to do with it?
However, although the big fellows were puzzled, since the boss had ordered them like this, they would naturally not object.

Anyway, if you boil some hot water, you will just waste some firewood!

Moreover, this firewood belongs to the owner, so they don't need to be distressed.

Ning Pengpeng led Liu Huhe and the team he said quietly climbed up the ladder and looked in the direction pointed.

In the heavy rain, there were fires flickering in the distance.

From the appearance, there should be someone holding a torch and walking forward.

These people would be so bold, and go forward with torches, it seems that they are not worried at all that the fishermen will find out.

After all, it was a big night and it was raining heavily. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would have already slept in bed.

However, looking at the distance, it should be a little far away from here.

The main reason is that the yard of Ning's family is relatively remote, behind the houses where all the fishermen in Yujiawan live.

And those people, the direction they went should be in the fishing village, and they probably won't be able to find the courtyard where the Ning family is located for a while.

"Order to go down and put out all the places where the lights in the yard are lit.

All the stoves for boiling water were dismantled and brought into the house, and then continued to boil water.

Remember, block the doors and windows, and be sure not to let a ray of light show through.

The inspectors were divided into three groups, and one group stood guard by the door.

If these people force their way in, remember to kill them without mercy.

The other group stood guard on the fence, and whenever someone climbed the wall, they stabbed down with sharp objects in their hands.

The rest of the group hid under the fence and took turns with those guarding the fence at any time. "

Soon, all the lights in Ning's courtyard were dimmed.

A group of them, with kitchen knives, hoes and other weapons in their hands, stood nervously at the posts ordered by their boss.

And the flames in the distance slowly approached the fishing village from the very beginning.

When they entered the fishing village, they found that there was no one there. The man named Hecun who was leading immediately kicked the wall of the stone house.

"Baga, damn it, who on earth tipped off the news and let these pigs run away?"

But letting him go into a rage, it won't help.

After all, people ran away, and their wishful thinking was in vain.
