Chapter 151 The plank road is destroyed (please vote for me and recommend it)
At this moment, Jiang Sanlang and the others were fighting with the bandits.
The battle took place in a bamboo forest, and he led a group of people to retreat while fighting.
Because there are too many bandits, several times their number, and this band of bandits is very cruel. They kill even their own people without caring about them at all.
Jiang Sanlang had never seen such a battle before, and his morale suddenly dropped by half.
Seeing that the situation was not good, some people in Jiangjia Village abandoned their comrades and ran away, disappearing into the woods in an instant.
Chen Zhuke was furious, "Bah! What the hell! I tried my best to save them, but I actually rescued a nest of white-eyed wolves!"
"Retreat first!" Jiang Sanlang waved his hand: "Run to the mountains and forests!"
Suddenly a dozen people from our side ran away, and the rest were waiting to die if they didn't run away.
So Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang took the villagers and fled into the forest quickly, unable to take care of the situation in the cave for a while.
The bandits howled and chased all the way until night fell.
Next to the plank road, the bandits below seemed determined to fight with the people in the cave. Not only did the number of people stationed there not decrease, but they increased by one or two hundred.
Patriarch Chen and the others frowned when they saw this, and they walked around in the cave with their hands behind their backs, feeling very irritable.
"What should I do?" Jiang Dahu, the village leader of Jiangjia Village, scratched his head.
Patriarch Chen sighed: "We can only take one step at a time. We must first guard the crossing and not let the bandits come up."
If we are attacked by bandits, we and others will be like lambs to be slaughtered, and no one will survive.
"Oh, this is the only way." Jiang Dahu sighed.
Yingbao counted the people in the cave and found that there were more than two hundred people, among whom the elderly, weak, women and children accounted for the majority.
Now these people are divided into two sides, Jiangjiacun on one side, and Chencun and foreign refugees on the other side.
There were a lot of people in Jiangjia Village, more than a hundred people, occupying most of the cave, and the chickens, geese, goats, etc. they brought here were roaming around at will.
Yingbao leaned between the two gourds, and the old god was observing the surroundings with a premonition.
If in a few days, without water or food, the people in the cave would be able to do it by themselves without the bandits attacking them.
Even now, some people from Jiangjia Village are looking here with evil eyes.
In the opinion of some people, those bandits were brought by refugees. Tracing back to the source, they were brought by Jiang Sanlang's family.
Even if Jiang Sanlang led people to save their entire village, some people in Jiangjia Village would only take it for granted.
"Bao'er, put these pancakes away." Chun Niang and her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law made pancakes for a long time and used up most of the flour.
If there wasn't much firewood in the cave, they would have cooked all the flour and distributed it to their families for safekeeping.
Ying Bao took the five pieces of noodles and put them into her little bag.
Each person in the Jiang family was given five pieces of flour pancakes, which were their last dry food.
Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu gave all his pancakes to his sister for safekeeping, saying that he would eat them when he was hungry.
Chun Niang gave Xiao Zhenniang a few more pancakes, but Xiao Zhenniang declined, "I still have a lot of food here. You can leave the pancakes for the children."
Xiao Zhenniang not only had food, but also a full water bag. The servant Wen Fu went out early in the morning to fetch it, which was enough for the four of her master and servant to eat and drink for a day or two.
As for the six masters and servants of the sister-in-law Lin family, Xiao Zhenniang cannot take care of them, nor does she want to take care of them.
Seeing that Xiao Zhenniang really didn't accept the offer, Chun Niang gave up and gave ten more noodles to Mrs. Wen's third wife, Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin was now sleeping well. She took the noodles and thanked them. She gave three pieces to each of her two daughters. She kept two pieces for herself and shared the remaining two pieces with her two maids and servants.
As night fell, Patriarch Chen and Jiang Dahu assigned manpower to keep watch to prevent sneak attacks by bandits.
However, it was a peaceful night, and the bandits made no move.
Early the next morning, the villagers were surprised to find that more than half of the bandits at the foot of the mountain were missing.
But not long after, someone suddenly exclaimed: "They destroyed the plank road!"
I saw that the plank road leading to the bottom had been demolished in pieces, leaving only the wooden hoe beaten on the mountain wall.
"Oh my God! How good is this!" Someone cried loudly.
Without the plank road, there was a cliff below, and they couldn't get down at all.
Patriarch Chen and Jiang Cunzheng hurried over to check and saw that more than half of the plank road had been pried off, and even the wooden stakes nailed to the cliff were burned.
The plank road is destroyed, are they really going to die trapped in the cave?
There are so many people hiding in the cave, and besides other things, draft is a big problem.
Unfortunately, it's not raining now. It's a luxury to hope for some rain.
Without water, these people could not survive for five days, even if they brought food.
Everyone was in a panic and immediately checked what they had brought.
It would be nice if there was a rope with which they could climb down.
However, some ropes were found after scraping together, but they were not enough to get people down the cliff.
"What to do? Patriarch." The people in Jiangjia Village were the most frightened because they had no water.
Jiang Dahu walked up to Patriarch Chen with his hands behind his back, "Brother Chen, let's think of a solution together."
Chen Fu had no idea what he could do, so he looked at Old Man Jiang again.
Old Man Jiang and his wife did not panic. He remembered that he had brought two large bundles of rope with him before, and now he had to look for them to see if they were there.
Ying Bao saw her grandparents rummaging for ropes and silently pulled out two bundles from the quilt, "Here they are."
Ms. Jiang Liu was overjoyed, "Oh, why did Bao'er hide the rope under the quilt?"
Yingbao:......
What can she do, she can only acquiesce.
When everyone saw that there were two large bundles of ropes in Old Man Jiang's house, they slowly calmed down.
With so many ropes, they will definitely be able to reach the bottom of the cliff.
Now that we have the tools to escape, if the plank road is destroyed, just destroy it.
This is good, no one needs to keep vigil at night, and everyone can sleep peacefully.
In the afternoon, another group of bandits left, and now only sixty or seventy people stood firm.
Uncle Jiang spat and said angrily: "I'm here to accept filial piety for your grandfather..."
As soon as the words came out, I felt something was wrong. I hurriedly made two more noises and walked around the cliff cave with my hands behind my back to relieve my depression.
In the corner of the cliff cave, Ying Bao quietly fed Youyou water from a broken pottery bowl.
An old goose squawked and squeezed in front of Yingbao, pecking at the pottery bowl in her hand.
Pushing its head away, it stretched it over again, repeating this process, its little eyes full of prayer.
Yingbao had no choice but to secretly pour some water into the pottery bowl and give it to the old goose to drink.
After a while, a goat came running with a lamb, bleating and butting Yingbao with its head, almost knocking her over.
Ying Bao gritted his teeth and glared at it, then he had to get some water and put it to the mouths of the mother and son.
Before the goat here finished drinking, two more goats came over and circled around Yingbao. They ignored her and butted her with their heads.
Now the two little puppies were not happy. They barked angrily at some sheep, jumped around and knocked them to the opposite side.
But the goats still kept looking in the direction of Yingbao, bleating and eager to try.
Dahuang and Xiaohei stood in front of Yingbao, bared their teeth at the goats, and issued a low threat.
Yingbao touched their heads, grabbed a small piece of cake and stuffed it into their mouths.
Nowadays, water is tight, and no one has to drink. Where is the poultry and livestock? It is only her own gourd that she keeps pouring, so that there is not a drop of water left.
But this matter should not be taken too seriously. The uncle and the mother-in-law have already begun to pay attention to the gourd, and they have begun to wonder why there is always water in their own gourd.
We will be on the list at the end of the month, please support the monthly ticket! Thank you!
