My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 116
At this time, Lai's wife was so frightened that she shuddered. After the group of local ruffians retreated, she sat limply on the ground, and there was a faint smell of disgust.

Wang Xiujuan looked, only to find that the floor the other party was sitting on was already wet.

In fact, she was not much better, she was just trying to force herself, and after the people retreated, she called Mrs. Lai to clean up the place.

After checking, Wang Xiujuan found that the rogue who was shot was still alive. She pulled out the arrow from the opponent's stomach, and kicked him twice at the wound on his stomach.

The local ruffian passed out immediately, and the two old ladies worked together to drag him to the front shop, which can be regarded as a deterrent to those who want to grab things behind.

Just when they were about to continue to close the small door in the backyard, they found that the door had been kicked so precariously that it would fall down at any moment.

There was no way, the two of them could only forcefully close the door, and after closing the door, they pushed the cabinet in the room against the door.

It is not possible for people outside to kick the door open with a single kick.

After finishing her busy work, Wang Xiujuan slumped on the ground leaning against the cabinet at the door.

"Xixi's grandma, what should I do... what should I do? What's going on? Why did you call me? We can't get out, right? What's wrong with this?"

Wang Xiujuan wiped the sweat from her head, and took the hand crossbow pinned to her waist in her hand.

"I don't know what's going on in the village." Her son and granddaughter are so smart, they should have gone to the mountains, right?

Today is still the day when the two of them go back to the village, and I don't know if her son will run into the thief outside when he comes to pick them up?
No, no, God likes their family so much, and will definitely bless them safe and sound!

"God! How could we let this happen to us so well?!" Mrs. Lai felt sad when she thought of her son and grandson's life and death.

Lai Pozi cried for a while before she regained her composure.

"Xixi's grandma. Thanks to you just now, otherwise my old lady would have to confess to being here today."

Wang Xiujuan patted her hand and said nothing.

Lai Pozi said again: "Do you think we can get out alive?"

Wang Xiujuan ignored Mrs. Lai who was thinking about it, and suddenly seemed to hear a burst of footsteps outside.

"Don't talk." Wang Xiujuan made a silent gesture to Lai Lai.

Standing up, put your ears on the cabinet and listen carefully to the movement outside.

After a while, the sound of looting and smashing outside seemed to slowly subside.

A few screams could be heard faintly.

"What's the matter? There seems to be no sound outside? Could it be that the city is broken?!" Lai Pozi's face turned pale with anxiety.

"You squat here, I'll step on you to see what's going on outside."

Wang Xiujuan stepped on Granny Lai's shoulders, lay on the wall and looked outside, and waited until she saw the officers and soldiers with knives before she figured out what was going on.

Lai's face turned red from holding back, "Sixi, mother, have you seen it clearly? I'm about to die!"

Wang Xiujuan felt that her feet were shaking more and more, fearing that the other party would throw her somersault, she quickly got off her shoulders.

As soon as her feet hit the ground, Mrs. Lai sat down on the ground.

After panting for breath, Grandma Lai asked, "How is it, Sissy, what's going on outside?"

Wang Xiujuan leaned against the courtyard wall, "It's okay, those officers and soldiers outside came out to chase people away, and those local ruffians were all driven away."

Wang Xiujuan guessed that the city gate should not be broken, and could hold on for a while.Otherwise, it is impossible, and people can still be sent to maintain order in the city.

If the city is in chaos, it will be useless for them to guard the city gate.Therefore, on the premise of being able to securely guard the city gate, the other party will have the energy to manage the order in the city.

From this point of view, they should be safe for the time being.

If Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng hadn't gone back yesterday, there would be two more people now.

Right now, they can only count on the two old ladies themselves.

Fortunately, they put some food here. Although the taro balls are sold out, but with those rations, there is no problem to last for three to five days.

The point is what they should do after these three to five days pass.

There must be no one outside selling grain.What will they eat then?Don't wait to be killed by the thieves, but to starve to death.

As for water, there is a well in the courtyard, which is not lacking.

The two of them just sat in the yard facing the sun. They made a meal at noon and continued to watch. However, the sun was too strong. The two old ladies hid at the door of Wang Xiujuan's room, looking at the yard vigilantly. Beware of someone breaking in suddenly.

But since Lieutenant Wu and General Chen sent people to maintain order in Taixi County, there have been a lot fewer vandals and looting, and every household has closed their doors tightly, not daring to go out at will.

In summer, the days are long, and the sky doesn't get dark until about [-]:[-], that is, around seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Perhaps it was because the bandits hadn't moved all day, and the soldiers guarding the city wall were slack and not as nervous as before.

But the uneasiness in General Chen's heart became more and more obvious. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After standing on the city wall for a day, he went to patrol the two city gates before reaching the city wall.

Wu Xianwei stood on the city wall, "General, what the hell are these thieves doing? They don't want to attack at night, do they?"

General Chen was wearing armor and kept his sword in his hand, "It's very possible."

After speaking, he said to the messenger beside him: "Notify me, and keep me alert at night. The bandits may want to attack at night."

After the orderer went down, Lieutenant Wu said again:
"General, it's just getting dark, why don't you go back to rest and come back later?" Under such a strong sun, Lieutenant Wu couldn't stand it without armor, let alone standing in armor. General Chen on the city wall all day.

Now that the county magistrate is dead or alive, most of the affairs in the county government are under the responsibility of the county lieutenant, and General Chen is in charge of guarding the city gate.

But the highest commander in the county is obviously General Chen with troops.

"It's okay, go down and rest. I'll stay here tonight."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, Lieutenant Wu could only give up, went down the city wall by himself, and prepared to go home to rest.

The later it got, the less Wang Xiujuan dared to take a break. Before she knew it, it was midnight, that is, 12 o'clock in the evening.

Grandma Lai shared a room with Wang Xiujuan, and they were both sitting at the door of the room. At this time, the other party was so sleepy that she couldn't help dozing off.

At the gate of the smaller city, there were a few furtive figures, quietly approaching the soldiers guarding the city.

Taking advantage of the sleepiness of the guards at the door, several people wiped their necks with knives neatly.

"It's all done!"

"Get ready, you will knock the gong as soon as the door opens."

"Okay! I hope you don't break your promise!"

"Don't worry, our King Hu will not treat you badly."

A few ruffians in the city were recruited by the county magistrate's entourage who came to the city to report the news, just for tonight!
The entourage promised several people that Hu Dadao would not treat them badly after he occupied Taixi County.

At this time, the faces of several people were ecstatic, and they worked together to open the door directly!
