Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 59

We couldn't accept Master's point of view for a while, and we were dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.

The master went on to say, "In the past few days, the village head has come out every night to make inspections, which is normal. But he always chooses midnight, and there has been no movement at all from the third party for several days in a row. It can't help but make people suspicious."

I shook my head and said to Master: "Master, I still think this is unlikely. If what you said is a coincidence, there is nothing wrong with it."

The master said, "Well, I don't want this to be true either. Let's do this. I'll call the village chief later..."

After the master finished speaking, he signaled Xiaoyue to go out to find the village head.

After a while, the village chief Jin Fu came running out of breath, and said to the master, "Master Yuan, have you discussed it? What should we do next?"

Master nodded, and said helplessly to the village chief: "Village chief, let's do this. We discussed it and found that what the villagers said made sense. I am also sorry for our possible deviation in judgment. Tonight Just remove the ambush point, let everyone have a good rest, let us work harder, and go on patrol at night. "

As soon as I heard it, I stood up and objected: "Master, it can't be done. Remove these three points. If ghosts attack, we will not be prepared. Isn't that just waiting for death."

The master shook his head: "I don't think they will come. It's been a week, and there is no movement at all. Besides, didn't you agree to it during the discussion just now?"

I said, "You can't remove them all, you have to keep two."

Master said firmly: "Remove all of them and leave none behind. Let's go out more at night."

Seeing that Master was so sure, the village chief walked out hesitantly, and said as he walked, "Then Master Yuan, shall I inform the villagers?"

Master nodded.

After the village chief left, the master sighed and said, "Everyone, get ready, the big battle will be tonight."

Master's more serious tone suddenly made the atmosphere in the room tense.

Throughout the afternoon, everyone was busy preparing various instruments.I saw that Yu Ling'er picked up a lot of glass bottles from the garbage dump next to the school, including cans, wine bottles, and soda bottles, in different shapes and sizes.

I was very surprised, and asked: "Little uncle, are you going to collect waste products, or make fake wine?"

Yu Ling'er gave me a blank look: "The heavenly secret must not be revealed."

I didn't take it seriously: "What time is it, keep it a secret."

The master took time to lead Wei Meng back to the back mountain, and when the two returned, they brought a large basket of things.Curiously, I opened the curtain on the basket and saw that it was a basket full of mahogany arrows.There is also a bamboo bow next to it, which looks like a child's toy.

I asked Master, "Are these all for dealing with mistresses? Like toys, can they work?"

The master said: "These were originally prepared by me in the back mountain. They were used to deal with some stubborn ghosts in the mass graves in the back mountain. I just remembered. In this way, everyone should spend a little more effort to make a few of them like this." I’m using the remaining peach branches to make peachwood swords, and I’ll cut more arrows and shoot them.”

In the end, each of us made a bamboo bow, and I tried shooting a few. Since the mahogany arrow has no arrow clusters in the front and no tail feathers in the back, it is considered far if it can fly ten meters, and the distance is not far. Go straight.This thing is estimated to be disgusting for children as a toy.

Master and Yu Ling'er distributed a lot of talisman papers to each of them, and I also collected a satchel full of various things.

The master saw that everyone was almost ready, so he asked everyone to break up and rest, and said that they would go to the streets to inspect in the evening.

Everyone had their own concerns, rested separately, and waited for the upcoming battle in the evening.The atmosphere has been dyed very serious by Master, and the dignified atmosphere before the war made everyone feel a little out of breath.I also felt very depressed and somewhat anxious.After so many days of preparation, we will see the outcome in the evening.

The afternoon passed quickly and night fell.

The three of us formed a group, and under the leadership of Master, we continued to inspect various intersections.I found that all the villagers who were on duty at night had already withdrawn, but unexpectedly, when we reached the west entrance, we ran into Daddy Douzi again.

I asked strangely: "Didn't the village chief tell you to withdraw?"

Daddy Douzi said, "I'm fine at home. Come out and have a look. The village chief said you guys are also on duty at night, so I just want to add me. One more person means more energy."

The master was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Daddy Douzi and said, "That's great, you can do me a favor, I don't need you to be on duty here for the time being, you can tell the people who were on duty at night to let them hear the sound of the gong at night. Bring things to the original intersection, and at the same time keep ringing the gong to remind the villagers to pay attention. This is related to the safety of the entire village, and there must be no negligence."

Daddy Douzi saw that Master was serious and knew the seriousness of this matter, so he immediately responded and turned to leave.

The six of us walked around under the leadership of Master, and there was no other abnormality.Master waved his hand, and we turned our heads and went back to the dormitory.

The master said: "Okay, when it is almost midnight, we will make a second inspection."

For the rest of the time, no one spoke, quietly waiting for the arrival of midnight.

The room is terribly quiet, and there is an illusion that time seems to have stopped, only the sound of the old-fashioned wall clock swinging back and forth reminds us that time is moving forward minute by minute.Every time the hour came, the clock would strike. Only at this time did everyone look up at the wall clock. Master sat on the side and kept his eyes closed. Even though the wall clock rang, it did not affect him.At this moment, the master looked like a general sitting in the tent of the army, with thousands of troops in his hands, and only when the time came, he gave the order to attack.Who knows, Master has only a few crooked melons and split dates under his command, and the other party seems to be regarded as a mighty army.

When the clock struck eleven, Master opened his eyes.He looked around us and saw that we were all staring at him without exception.He smiled, seemingly relaxed, and two words came out of his mouth: "Let's go."

I know that the result of this departure will determine the future of Shanggou Village.I almost brought all the equipment I could bring. I put the full satchel on my back, a bamboo bow slung over my shoulder, dozens of mahogany arrows, and a mahogany sword in my hand.I look at other people, they are not much different from me, they are all armed with live ammunition.Finally, Yu Ling'er handed me a big bag: "Little nephew, hold it for me."

I picked it up, and there was a crisp sound of palm nuts inside, and I asked her, "Are these your broken glass bottles?"

Yu Ling'er said: "That's right, I'll let you see the magic of this glass bottle then."

I can't stop complaining, it's so heavy.I was worrying, Wei Meng came over and picked up the bag: "Let me do it."

I yelled at his back, "Meng Zi, you are such a good man."

Yuling'er gave me a blank look: "Lazy."

Master led a small team of six people and walked out of the school gate in a mighty manner. We walked in an orderly pace on the empty street accompanied by the sound of palm nuts.

I don't know if I can still see the sunrise tomorrow, and I don't know if such a small team will be recorded in the historical books. They have made contributions to Shanggou Village and the survival of human beings.

We inspected a circle, and there was no one guarding the empty village entrance.When the master walked to the west entrance of the village, he looked around and said to us: "It seems that this is the end of the night, let's go back." Saying that, he led us back.

We turned a corner, and with a wave from Master, the six of us quickly divided into two groups, and hid in the shadows on both sides of the street.We slowly turned back in the direction of the west entrance of the village. We moved very slowly, trying not to make any movement.Just as we were approaching the fortified point at the west entrance, Master raised his hand, and we stopped, hiding in the corner, staring at the intersection and the street.

Not long after, a black shadow appeared at the fortification point like a ghost.He looked around, seemed to sigh, and turned to leave.I believe everyone can see that the black shadow is the village head.

Master saw that the black shadow was gone, and led us quickly to the back of the bunker.We looked in the direction of the intersection at the same time. If Xiaosan and the others launched an attack in a while, there is no doubt that the village chief is a traitor.

Somehow, I still can't believe this fact.I asked the master next to me softly: "How can you be sure that Xiao San and the others attack from this intersection, what about those two intersections?"

Master replied: "This intersection is the widest and the easiest to attack. The other three intersections are unguarded. I believe Xiao San also knows the news. He will definitely choose the easiest intersection. But those two intersections, I I also asked Daddy Douzi to find someone to guard, and he also hid in the dark."

I have to admire Master's foresight.At this point we only have one thing left, which is to wait for Xiaosan's attack.

The master handed the gong to Wei Meng: "Mengzi, I will let you beat the gong in a while, and you beat it with all your strength. Make sure everyone in the village is alert."

Wei Meng took the gong and nodded.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was estimated that it was past midnight.Just when we were staring at the intersection with all our attention, we heard a "bang" gong sound in the village. The sound was extremely loud in the silent night, and the echo lingered for a long time. one slice.

This anomaly made us feel at a loss for a while. Master identified it and shouted: "No, it's the back mountain pass. Hurry up, Ling'er, go over there to support."

Yu Ling'er responded, turned around and ran towards the back mountain pass.Ning Xiaoyue stood up and wanted to follow, I hurriedly grabbed her: "It seems that the attack is really going on tonight, it's too dangerous, you should go home quickly."

Xiaoyue broke free from my hand: "I'm in a group with Ling'er, I won't go back."
