Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Although she found a lot of reasons to convince herself that her concern for Gu Hanzhou had nothing to do with emotions.

But she knew in her heart that all this was due to the inexplicable yet unlet-go emotion in her heart, which she had suppressed despite her sobriety.

Lin Shuangshuang put away her messy emotions and tried not to think about Gu Hanzhou.

There are still a lot of things waiting for her to do in the village, and she can't think about those trivial things anymore.

But when she saw the letter Hu Zi sent her and thought about what happened to Chen Jiaojiao, she felt really uneasy.

It’s not that she cares about Chen Jiaojiao’s life or death, but she remembered things from her previous life.

After she died, Gu Hanzhou found a mysterious Taoist priest in a black robe to save her. The Taoist priest kicked away all of Gu Hanzhou's bones and blood, and then she really came back to life.

Resurrection from the dead, how terrifying!

How did the mysterious Taoist do it?

Although she only lived for three days, she was indeed alive!

What secrets is Gu Hanzhou hiding?

He chose to cut off ties with everyone. What on earth did he want to do?

Could it be that the mysterious Taoist priest in black robe was also responsible for Chen Jiaojiao's incident this time?

Are these two things related?

Gu Hanzhou must have severed ties with his family because he was afraid of bringing trouble to his family.

But can his family really hide away?

The more Lin Shuangshuang thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She even wanted to abandon everything here and go to the capital to find out what was going on.

But she can't, because her family, friends and responsibilities are here.

I hope nothing will happen!

Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye. The snow and wind are still very strong this year, but Hegou Village has not been blocked by heavy snow this year.

It was not because the snow was not heavy enough, but because the villagers of Hegou Village worked together to dig a road leading to the town.

This winter everyone is full of energy, unlike previous years when everyone was lazily staying at home waiting for spring to come.

The main reason is that they have enough food, warm winter clothes, and everyone has work to do and money to earn, so naturally no one wants to stay in the house and do nothing.

If you want to work and make money, you can't let the mountain be blocked by heavy snow. Therefore, under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers of Hegou Village dug a passage out of the one-meter-deep snow.

"Why are you guys running? Are you being chased by wolves?"

The men who were working in the village couldn't help but make fun of them when they saw several young men who were delivering goods to the town pushing carts and running towards the village desperately.

Several young men ran to the village, their faces pale with fear: "Go and tell the village chief, the bandits have come down the mountain."

"What's the matter?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately put down their work and came over to ask.

"When Duotian and I came back from delivering goods, we saw a group of people coming down the mountain, each of them holding a three-foot-long machete." Wang Duoliang said as he gestured the length of the machete with his hands, his face full of fear.

"I estimated that there were about a hundred people. After they came down, they dispersed to various villages in groups of three or five. I'm afraid they will come to our village soon."

"Hurry up and call the village chief to discuss this. What should we do?"

"Other villages are blocked by heavy snow. They have to cross mountains and hills to enter the village, but our village is unobstructed."

"Will other villages be unable to enter, so everyone will come to our village?"

The more they talked, the more frightened they became. Some of them turned pale with fear, and the women even started crying.

The village chief hurried over and heard the women and children crying: "Why are you crying? Is the sky falling?"

"Village chief, please think of a solution quickly. If you don't, the world will collapse."

"The bandits are coming. This time it won't be just three or five. I'm afraid there will be more than a hundred."

"Will they just kill all the people in our village?"

"What should we do? If we had known, we wouldn't have dug the road. The heavy snow might have blocked the mountain and they wouldn't be able to get in at all."

"That's good now. We've dug a road to make it easier for people to come in."

The village chief was upset by the crying of the women, and the men in the village were also afraid, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Why don't we go ask Madam Lin?"

"She must have a way."

"I've asked Zhuzi to call for help. Madam Lin will be here soon."

Sure enough, as soon as the aunt finished speaking, Lin Shuangshuang hurried over.

"I already know what happened and have sent a letter to the county magistrate. He will send troops over soon. There is no need for you to come."

She sent a letter to Bai Qiushui by carrier pigeon, and Bai Qiushui would go to find Li Bingwen immediately after receiving the letter.

However, the villagers need to protect themselves before the reinforcements arrive. After all, under normal circumstances, the first ones to arrive will be bandits.

When reinforcements arrive, the bandits will not surrender. If a fight breaks out, the villagers will be the ones who suffer.

Even if there is one casualty, perhaps the death or injury of one or two people is nothing in the eyes of the government, but if this casualty happens to someone, it is like the sky falling.

Therefore, there cannot be any casualties!

Fortunately, she has already thought of a solution!

"Village chief, have your people put down all their work, put on their most worn winter clothes, and go to the mine to move stones."

"Find a dozen other people who can sew and work with needles to come to my house."

"What is this for?" The village chief looked puzzled.

"No need to explain. Take your people up the mountain to mine stones first."

The village chief nodded: "Okay."

Everyone knew that the bandits must have arrived in the village earlier than the officers and soldiers.

When the soldiers arrive, the bandits will not leave obediently. They will do anything to survive.

Therefore, they had to save themselves before the officers and soldiers arrived.

"Lin, do we need to send someone to guard the villagers?"

Lin Shuangshuang shook her head: "No, everyone, don't panic. Women and children should go to the mountains to hide, and men should go to the mountains to mine for ore."

"Row."

After the village chief led people up the mountain, a dozen nimble old women followed Lin Shuangshuang.

"Third sister, bring me a piece of white cloth."

"Find another twenty navy blue winter coats, sew a circle of red cloth around the collars, cuffs and waistbands, and make a few official uniforms as quickly as possible."

"The stitches don't need to be delicate. The faster the better. It just needs to look like the clothes soldiers wear from a distance."

Gu Xinghua was stunned for a moment, then took action the moment she saw it.

Lin Shuangshuang was not idle either. She cut out circles with white cloth and then wrote the word "Soldier" on the circles with a brush.

By the time she finished writing, Gu Xinghua's work was basically done, except for sewing red cloth on the collar and cuffs. For these skillful old women and embroiderers, it was just a piece of cake.

Then Lin Shuangshuang handed everyone a round piece of cloth with the word "soldier" written on it: "Sew these on your winter clothes, too."

"Use white thread to sew. The faster the better. Just make sure it doesn't fall off. The stitches don't need to be too fine."

"When the bandits saw the officials from afar, they didn't dare to enter the village. They wouldn't come close to see them, so they couldn't find them at all."

Everyone has seen what the official's clothes look like, so they naturally know that this round piece of white cloth should be sewn in the middle of the chest.

Several middle-aged women touched the clothes and said, "It really looks like that."

Lin Shuangshuang said anxiously: "Take your clothes and follow me."
