Chapter 58 Two-pronged approach
It's night, the moon is bright, the stars are few, and everything is silent.

Zhu Fuzheng led the team to patrol the village.

In the current Yushan Village, everything is done according to the style of the military village, including watchmen, sentries, patrols...all available.

In the past, Zhu Fu would not need to personally lead the team for such a small matter, but now that a large number of brothers have left the village and there is a serious shortage of manpower, Zhu Fu has no choice but to go into battle personally.

Huang Silang and others originally volunteered to replace Zhu Fu, but Li Gui arranged other errands, so they had no choice but to give up.

Nowadays, the weather is extremely cold, and after nightfall it becomes even more bone-chilling. Not to mention that the breath turns to ice, and there is also a thick white mist.

Zhu Fu tightened his cotton armor and turned to ask the group of brothers behind him: "Are you cold?"

"is a bit."

A group of people laughed and said:

"But it will be time to change shifts soon. Then go back to your room and have a bowl of hot ginger soup to warm yourself up."

"It's really cold for those guys in the middle of the night. I don't know how much harder it is than us!"

"Who made them unlucky enough to win the lottery in the middle of the night? Hehe..."

Seeing that no one had any complaints, Zhu Fu smiled and nodded, "Sure, then everyone just stick to it and let's continue patrolling."

After walking for a short half circle, they saw another team coming towards them. The two sides stood at a distance, exchanged commands with each other, and after confirming that no accident occurred, they moved forward and passed each other.

After walking around the village for several times, I heard the sound of the watchman starting the third watch in the distance, and it was finally time to change the shift.

Zhu Fu yawned and led the team back to the team building. He shook the sleeping group awake and exchanged shifts with each other. Then Zhu Fu was about to take them to continue patrolling when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and someone was walking away. Come in.

"Brother Zhu, how is the situation? Are there any troops coming to attack the camp?"

Zhu Fu took a closer look and saw that it was Huang Silang, the former third master, followed by three or four brothers, all of whom were loyal and good men who had returned to the mountain a few days ago.

He rushed forward with a smile and replied: "Everything is normal, nothing happened."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Huang Silang and others, and asked strangely: "Why doesn't Silang take a rest?"

Huang Silang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Hey, isn't this what my brother told me to prepare, such as rolling wood, stone, lime, gold juice and other things to defend the city! After working hard all night, I finally prepared everything. It should be enough for a few days. ”

Zhu Fu suddenly realized, "Thank you for your hard work, Shiro and the brothers. Why don't you go back and have a good rest? There may be a big battle tomorrow."

"Aren't you worried about the army attacking the camp, so I came over to take a look."

Zhu Fu smiled and said: "I led the soldiers on patrol for a long time, but I didn't see any sign of the officers and soldiers. I don't think they will come tonight."

"That's true for me." Huang Silang and others also laughed, "The officers and soldiers have just arrived, so they have to rest for a night. How could they attack the camp in the middle of the night as soon as they arrive? That is, brother Li Gui, too much. It’s fine, I’ve only made my little brother and the others worry for nothing.”

After chatting for a while, Zhu Fu cupped his hand and said, "Silang, please go back and rest quickly. I still have to lead the team on patrol."

Just as he was about to leave, Huang Silang grabbed him, looked around, frowned and asked:
"Patrols are divided into morning and evening hours. Why does my brother have to patrol all night without anyone to replace him?"

"Where is brother Li Yun?"

Zhu Fu said with a smile: "Brother Li Yun is very skilled in martial arts and will be the main force in the fight tomorrow. We can't waste our energy on patrols. Of course we need to have a good sleep and rest."

Huang Silang frowned when he heard this and said displeasedly:
"My brother patrolled all night and didn't even sleep. How can we fight tomorrow?"

"Let me go on my brother's behalf!" Zhu Fu hurriedly shook his head and refused, "What are you talking about, Shiro? If you go on patrol on my behalf, wouldn't you be able to stay up all night?"

Huang Silang said seriously:

"I am different from my brother."

"My military power is low. Even if I go into battle to fight, it won't have much effect. I might as well share some of the burden for my brother and do what I can."

The two argued for a long time, but Zhu Fu couldn't resist him, so he nodded and agreed. He called the soldiers in the middle of the night and ordered:
"Brother Huang will lead you to continue patrolling in the middle of the night."

"Do you still remember what the leader of the village told you before?"

"This is war time, so don't be careless."

"If the stronghold is destroyed, we will all die."

The soldiers looked at each other and bowed and obeyed, "Brother, don't worry, we will always keep the words of the leader of the stronghold in mind, and we dare not make any mistakes."

Zhu Fu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and went back to the house to sleep.

But it was said that Huang Silang led everyone out of the team building, and after walking half a circle around the village, he suddenly covered his stomach, frowned tightly, and cursed in a low voice:
"Fuck you!"

"The food I ate at night must not be fresh, and my stomach feels like it's overflowing. I'm really worried!"

The brothers who were following him immediately started making fun of him, "Brother Huang usually uses this trick to escape when he gambles. Why did he use this trick again if he never lost money today?"

Huang Silang was half-bent, covering his stomach with one hand and pressing his back with the other. He just shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm about to come out, I'm not cheating!"

While shouting, he jumped into the dead grass next to him. After a while, there was a smell of shit floating in the wind.

Those bad friends immediately changed their expressions, covered their noses and ran forward. When they reached a distance, they put down their hands and shouted from a distance:
"Brother, the grains are reincarnated here. I'll go on patrol first. Brother, just follow me after you're done."

"Get out!" Huang Silang cursed from a distance, only to be met with loud laughter from a group of people.

These people were originally generals and deputy generals in the village. However, they later became officials after being recruited and left the village. Now they came back to lead the people again. No one had any objections. They immediately followed these people and continued patrolling.

After finishing his convenience, Huang Silang did not follow the patrol team as expected. Instead, he sighed, turned around and ran towards the granary.

At the same time, the guard at the main entrance of the cottage also received an unexpected visitor.

"Brothers, we are exposed late at night. Brother Li Gui feels sorry for everyone and asked me to bring some food and wine to warm everyone up."

Li Laoqi was smiling broadly, followed by more than a dozen brothers, carrying some food boxes on their shoulders. As soon as he opened them, the aroma filled the air. Inside were hot meals and dishes, wine and meat. On this cold night, Among them, it is particularly tempting for greedy people.

The guards guarding the main entrance, led by a general, couldn't help but move their eyes upwards, landing on Li Laoqi's face, and asked hesitantly:
"Is this a reward given to us by our brother, the leader of the village?"

Li Laoqi smiled and said: "Everyone knows that Brother Li Gui is strict, but I know that our leader of Dazhai is hard-faced and soft-hearted, and he loves his brothers the most."

"Now that the weather is getting colder, wouldn't it be appropriate for Brother Li Gui to ask me to bring some wine and meat to reward you brothers?"

Seeing the general's hesitant expression, as if he couldn't believe it, he continued to persuade: "If you brothers accidentally catch the cold, it will be detrimental to our war!"

The general was finally moved. He nodded slowly and said, "Brother Li, please wait a moment. Let me call all my brothers to enjoy the food and wine together."
