Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily
Chapter 82 Slaughter Village
Every year when winter comes, Chang Xile likes to squat beside the firepit without moving.
The winter in Taoyuan Village is very gloomy and cold, and Chang Xile had been injured before, and at this time, if she got a little bit cold, she would feel a bone-piercing pain, and only by sitting by the fire would she feel relieved.So even if he was sitting by the firepit, because of burning firewood, it would be easy to get disgraced, and he was willing to squat all the time.
He also tried burning charcoal for warmth, but found that it was still not as comfortable as the glowing red fire.He is used to the smell of cigarettes now, so as long as he doesn't sit right in front of the air, he doesn't feel anything.It's just that the carpentry workshop specially made a higher chair, and he couldn't get used to the grass pier anyway.
"Lele, the taro is cooked."
Chang Yu turned out the taro buried in the firewood ash with a wooden stick, quickly peeled off the taro skin, and then handed the steaming taro to Chang Xile.
The fragrance of taro rushed into Chang Xile's nose, which made people swallow their saliva.The taro in Taoyuan Village is very fragrant, sweet and glutinous, and tastes very good.Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun also brought a lot of taro from Taoyuan Village on this long voyage.
Chang Xile wanted to take it, but she was so hot that she withdrew her hand immediately. Seeing Chang Yu's inexplicable expression, she said speechlessly, "Xiao Miao, you said you have thin skin and tender flesh, why are you so not afraid of being scalded?"
Chang Yu quickly grabbed Chang Xile's hand, put it to his mouth and exhaled, "Lele, are you burning? I'm sorry, I thought it would be more comfortable to eat while it's hot, but I forgot that you're afraid of getting burned."
"I'm fine...what are you doing!"
Chang Yu breathed out, and suddenly put Chang Xile's fingers into his mouth, the warm and moist feeling spread from his fingers to his whole body, making people feel numb, which shocked Chang Xile.
"Help you heal your burns, saliva is useful." Chang Yu blinked, with a pure face.
Chang Xile couldn't laugh or cry, she withdrew her hand, "Don't listen to those nonsense words, besides, I'm not so delicate, I will get hurt if I touch it for a while."
Chang Yu didn't say anything, he blew on the peeled taro, and seeing that the heat was not so strong, he handed it to Chang Xile, "It's not hot now, Lele, eat it while it's hot."
Chang Xile took it and finished eating in two bites, while Chang Yu was already waiting with the second one.
"It's a good thing I don't get fat from eating. Otherwise, after one winter, I'm afraid I'd be so fat that I can't see anyone. During this time, I feel that my stomach has a lot more meat."
It's really boring to sit around the firepit and not do anything, so every time Chang Xile makes something to eat, although she doesn't eat much at a time, she never stops talking.And he doesn't like to move in winter, except for the routine exercise in the morning, he basically doesn't move.It was too cold outside, unless he went out for a walk when the sun was shining, he could squat in front of the firepit for a day, and now even the table has been moved here.
But it started to rain here after the Spring Festival, and Chang Xile would not go out for a month.
"Not fat, it was still a bone yesterday." Chang Yu tilted his head slightly and said seriously.
Chang Xile quickly looked outside, seeing that there was no one, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why do you say everything outside!" Chang Xile said a little displeased.
Although he already wanted to understand some things, he still didn't want others to know.The main reason is that Chang Yu is still young now, an adult hooking up with a child always feels a sense of guilt, and he is ashamed to reveal it to the public.Even though the people here never regarded Chang Yu as a child, Chang Xile still couldn't ignore Chang Yu's age.
This is a child brought up by myself, no matter how I think about it, I feel a little wretched.
Chang Yu's eyes dimmed a little, and Chang Xile quickly said, "This is a private matter between the two of us, and only the two of us know about it."
Chang Yu became happy when he heard this.
At this time, Li Zheng came in in a hurry, "You are all here, I just need to find you."
"Lizheng, is something wrong? Why do you look so flustered?"
Li Zheng grabbed a grass mound and sat down, "Something has happened, someone from the county just came to pass the news, saying that a village in Lin County was massacred by bandits!"
Chang Xile was startled, "What?! How could this happen? Although there have been many disasters in our house, we only rob some property and rarely kill people."
"Isn't it? I couldn't believe it when I first heard the news. Our mansion has been quite peaceful these years. At most, there are always gangsters on some roads who like to rob passers-by, but I never thought it would be so unconscionable." What happened. Although the village is not big, there are about a dozen families, and in the end, all of them were killed, not to mention completely burned, and nothing was left.”
Chang Xile suddenly felt a little dizzy. He came from a peaceful era. Although there were always some horrible incidents in the news, he still felt that he was still relatively far away.But now this kind of thing is so close to him, because he collected dogwood and other things, he had dealt with people in that village, and now the whole village is gone.
He has an impression of this village because once a widow in this village came to sell cornel and camellia, carrying a child on her chest and back.The two children are twins, which was originally a very happy thing.Unexpectedly, not long after the baby was born, the father of the child went to the mountain to get some pheasants and hares in order to get some things to make up for the widow. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet a wild beast and was bitten to death.
It is also because of this that the man's family thought that the widow and the two children were bastards, and directly kicked them out of the house. The family also despised her as unlucky and refused to let her in, so the widow was completely dependent on herself. myself and two kids.This is already enough to make people feel aggrieved, but although this kind of thing is rare in ten miles and eight villages, it is not uncommon.
It is not easy to live these days, and the average life expectancy is not long, and it is easy to lose one's life because of one thing or another.
But the people of Taoyuan Village have never seen such vicious people in a village. The orphans and widows just don't want to take care of one or two, but the widow is self-reliant but still wants to get in trouble.
The widow brought the things over, but the people in this village urged the receivers in Taoyuan Village not to accept them, saying that the mother and son were bastards, and they would not live long if they came into contact with them and received their things.
Perhaps these people are well-intentioned, because there are still many superstitious people in this world, and they believe in these things with all their hearts.That's why I don't want the people in Taoyuan Village to suffer such bad luck, so they talk too much.But no matter what, this is very disgusting to the people of Taoyuan Village. Anything that cannot be overcome is false. The man went to the mountains to hunt in desperation for his wife and children, which shows that he is a good husband and father who loves his wife and children very much.But after his death, his wife and children were treated like this, it is really not reassuring to die.
Thinking about myself again, no one can guarantee that they will not encounter such unlucky things.Natural disasters and man-made disasters happen from time to time these years. Maybe one day is good, but suddenly a plague comes and a large number of people die.But if you die and your family members are treated like this, or if you or your family members encounter such a thing and are treated as a disaster, wouldn't it be very disturbing?
Furthermore, because of Chang Xile's deliberate indoctrination, I dare not say that Taoyuan Village has completely achieved equality between men and women, but it has indeed greatly improved the status of women.In particular, the establishment of the workshop allows women to have economic capabilities and at the same time, have more self-esteem and self-improvement, and will not feel that they are men's vassals, and they will be more confident and independent.Originally, the atmosphere in Taoyuan Village was good, and with Chang Xile's intentional guidance, there would be no obvious discrimination against women.
Seeing the widow living so hard, everyone admired them in their hearts, but the people in this village actually wanted to cut off this road, how could it not be disgusting.Isn't this going to force the mother and son to death!
It was also because of this incident that the people in Taoyuan Village did not like the people in this village.Chang Jinhua, who was in charge of collecting things, even didn't want to collect things from this village for a while, because she always felt that it was too disgusting.
It was her husband, Zhao Heizhu, who said that if he didn't receive it, he would put the blame on the widow, and it would only make the life of the mother and child even more difficult.
No way, Chang Jinhua had no choice but to accept it, and deliberately saw who would help the widow when accepting it, so it would loosen a lot when weighing it, and the original eight or nine taels were regarded as one catty.The people in this village are not stupid, especially they care most about these things for their livelihood.In this way, it made life easier for the widow, mother and son.
Even if you don't want to get involved, you won't take the opportunity to step on it anyway.
The widow is also transparent and grateful. Every time she comes to deliver things, she always tries to help out to show her gratitude.Those two children are now five or six years old, and they go to the field to help every time, which makes everyone like it very much, but they are all gone.
Although this matter was not a big deal, it became the topic of conversation in Taoyuan Village for a while, and Chang Xile also remembered this village.
Unexpectedly, this village was slaughtered, and no one was left behind.
Although he hated that group of people at the beginning, he didn't want to see them die like this, and there were many innocent children among them.
"Did no one escape?"
Lizheng shook his head and sighed, "Four or five days have passed since this happened. That village has few people and is far away from other villages, so no one knew what happened when it happened. Some people went to visit relatives, and only then did they find out that people in the whole village It's all gone."
"Where did the bandits come from, and why are they so vicious?"
"I heard from the policemen from the county that they came here from the outside, and this village just ran into them. The people from the government have been chasing and beating these gangsters, and they have killed most of them, and the rest are desperate It is estimated that they ran into the village by mistake because they were looking for food, probably because they were afraid that someone would tip off the news, so they all silenced them."
Chang Xile frowned, "Then have you found this group of people?"
"No!" Li Zheng said indignantly, "but fortunately, he is no longer in our area. I heard that he has gone to the Seafood Mansion along the canal. He probably wants to go to sea and escape to other countries. Hey, also I don’t know if these people can be brought to justice, otherwise the people in this village will die too unjustly.”
Although Chang Xile was very indignant in her heart, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, this group of people is not here, otherwise it would be too dangerous.The business and the construction site at the dock had to be stopped first, and he didn't dare to let everyone continue until these people were arrested.
"Why is Uncle Lizheng looking for me? But what orders does the county have?"
Now that Chang Xile has official status, while enjoying the prestige and benefits it brings, he also has to fulfill certain responsibilities.If there is any major issue in the county, he will be asked to discuss how to solve it together, and if necessary, he will give a contribution or money.
"That's not true. The county just sent someone to tell us to be more careful in the future. The canal is open, and it is easy to attract bandits. You have to be cautious in everything. I came here to ask, it wasn't that you wanted to set up a security team before, Let Lord Tiger teach the young men of our village, I just want to ask when will it start?"
At the same time that the construction of the Chang family compound and the commercial street began, the training of the village security team was also put on the agenda. Chang Xile originally planned to start after the spring plowing.
The life of Taoyuan Village is getting better and better, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Safety and security have become the top priority.
Although the monarch of the Liang country is quite wise, the various places are still not peaceful, and the trouble of banditry has never ceased.Although the government is trying its best to strangle them, they can't cut off the roots.A remote place like Daoxiang County is a place full of bandits.It's just that Daoxiang County has always been known for its poverty, so although there are bandits, they are not on a large scale.
But now with the promotion of the Taoyuan Village brand, more and more people know that such a place is still as peaceful as before, but it is hard to say.The government doesn't know how to garrison guards, so they can only rely on themselves to be strong to avoid Xiaoxiao's coveting.Otherwise, it will only become fat meat at the mercy of others, and it will be a blessing in disguise.
Not to mention hearing such news now, it is even more important.
What Chang Xile wants to do is to make everyone in Taoyuan Village a soldier, so that if there is an invasion from outside, no matter men, women or children, they can stand up bravely.Being famous for being fierce should not make people think that it is a bone that is easy to chew, so as to avoid more troubles.
Most of the gangsters here are villains who are lazy in production and just want to take shortcuts to make money.Most of them bully the weak and fear the strong, and what they like most is to rob the unarmed ordinary people, but those with power and power dare not provoke them, for fear of retaliation, or the loss outweighs the gain.
The first step to realize this idea is to train the young men and children in the village.
The training of the strong men is taught by Chang Yu himself, which is also the main strength of the village, while the training of the children is carried out by Chang Xile and Xinger, and Chang Yu occasionally comes to guide.
After several years of training, Myolie now has various movements in a good shape, and she often teaches her 'subordinates'.Although Chang Xile couldn't use it practically, her theory was good, and it was enough for the two of them to work together to teach a group of children.
And the security team in the village is selected from these well-trained young men.Mainly responsible for the safety of the village and the wharf, and can also get paid.
"I plan to do it after the spring plowing, and everyone will be able to free up their hands at that time."
Lizheng waved his hand, "This farmer never has time to make a move, especially when we have a lot of things to do and work, every time we are free. If you want me to say, it is better to practice one day earlier, so that everyone can feel at ease one day earlier. If We were not in such a hurry before, but now that everyone is living a better life and their reputation has spread, we are not at ease."
Chang Xile pondered for a moment, "If not, let's do it after the Chinese New Year. Martial arts training is about persistence. Don't go fishing for three days and spend two days posting nets. Those who visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year must stop."
Lizheng thought for a while, "Cheng, let's do it this way. If there is not enough manpower during the spring plowing, we can hire people from other villages. Now our village does not have to worry about food and clothing, and the most important thing is to save our lives."
Although the training has not officially started, Lizheng has already begun to select the first group of people.
At the beginning of training, you need to put your heart and soul into it, so as to achieve the effect.Once you have an appearance, you can practice for another hour or two every day.In this way, reasonable arrangements have to be made, and it is impossible to go all in one go. After all, they are not professional soldiers, but farmers.
Lizheng still adopts the method of voluntary registration. Now that everyone has experience, everyone will know what to do as soon as Lizheng announces.I also know not to sign up indiscriminately, and everything must be done according to my own conditions.
Otherwise, like at the beginning, because of trust, I am always happy, as long as I feel that what he made is good, I don’t care whether I am suitable or not, I sign up, and I am really selected, only to find out that I can’t do it.In this way, they will be directly pulled into the blacklist. If the same thing happens next time, unless there are not enough people, they will be excluded as a warning.
This is also to let everyone not follow blindly, and have a reasonable estimate of themselves and this matter, and not follow others.
Everyone heard about the gangster slaughtering the village. Although it was just an accident, everyone was still very scared. They all hoped that they could have even [-] to [-]% of Chang Yu's ability, so that they could resist one or two, so that they would not be directly slaughtered.So the registration was very active, and some women were even very unconvinced, because Li Zheng directly asked for a male gender.
"Lizheng, we women are also members of the village, so why can't we be the only ones who can do it?"
A tall and thick sister-in-law shouted that everyone called her Dayingzi before she was married, but now that she has a baby, many people still call her that.
Dayingzi has been strong and powerful since he was a child. He is tall and thick, with black and thick eyebrows, so he is not easy to mess with.He is stronger than a man, has a carefree personality, and his voice is like a broken gong.Every time she went to the fields to work harder than men, everyone laughed and said that the ground shook when she ran over.
Later, because a carpentry workshop was built in the village, a lot of wood was needed.Dayingzi went to chop trees specifically, and few people in Taoyuan Village could compare with that strength.
Originally, her natal family thought that she would not be able to get married in the future. The brothers and sisters in the family were all ready to support their sisters and sisters for the rest of their lives. Anyway, it was just a matter of extra rations. Besides, Dayingzi didn't need them to take care of her skills at all, she was just too old Just let your children help you.
Unexpectedly, the most handsome and shy guy in the village named Ding Ning fell in love with him. Ding Ning is just the opposite of Dayingzi. He is a man but has a thin skin and tender flesh. He has been more beautiful than a little girl since he was a child. It is recognized that the only one who looks better than Chang Xile.
But Chang Xile is called Wenqi, and Ding Ning is a bit feminine.And the personality is also shy like a big girl, she does things very meticulously, and she weaves better and faster than women.
Many people thought that he was afraid that he would find a man to marry in the future, but they didn't expect to marry Dayingzi in the end.And in the second year, Dayingzi had a child, and gave birth to a very delicate little girl, who seemed to be printed out of the same mold as Ding Ning.
And this little girl was brought up by Ding Ning since she was a child, and she did everything except not breastfeeding.In contrast, Dayingzi behaved like an ordinary woman during her confinement period, which was suppressed by Ding Ning, otherwise she would have to get out of bed to work the next day after giving birth.
It is very difficult for other women to give birth, especially the first child, and the pain is so painful that they want to hit the wall.She was fine, she felt as if she had a stomachache, if Ding Ning hadn't seen her amniotic fluid break, he quickly held her back, otherwise the baby would have been born in the latrine.
As soon as she was confinement, Dayingzi went to cut trees as usual, and even told people that she held back for a month, which almost drove her crazy. Leave all the housework to Ding Ning.
Everyone said that these two people had the wrong birth in this life, so they lost each of them.God, this is to make up for it, so let them make a pair, which is just right.
Lizheng saw that Dayingzi had a headache, this woman is rougher than a man, she can knock your ears off if you say it, but she is still a woman after all, it's not good to really pull her ears and make her roll.
"This is just the first wave, there will be more later. Men and women are different, they have to be separated, and they can't practice together. It's not the same thing, but it will be a waste of time."
After hearing this, Dayingzi felt a little more at ease, "From what you mean, we women will be the next group?"
Li Zheng choked, how dare he answer these words, men have not finished training to train women, if something happens, will a group of women really run ahead?He is not drowned in spittle.
"This is..."
Dayingzi is not stupid, so he can see Lizheng's perfunctory, "Lizheng, this is your fault, you are looking down on us women! Why don't you find someone to compare with me to see who is more powerful."
As soon as Dayingzi finished speaking, the group of men took a step back.It's not that they are cowardly, it's that they really can't afford to mess with this female overlord.You can't afford to provoke her as a woman, and you can't afford to not treat her as a woman.
"Uncle knows you are powerful, but other women don't have your strength..."
"Lizheng, I don't agree with this! We also have a lot of strength, and we are no worse than men after a little practice. Not to mention, seeing that Xing'er is young, she can treat boys who are a few years older than her. Giving uniforms means that it's not that we women can't do it, but that we haven't practiced well."
A woman in the crowd yelled, and as a result, many women echoed, all vying to sign up.
Li Zheng was very speechless in his heart, why these women are desperate, he just made it clear, this is not just a matter of practice.As long as you are selected, you have to rush to the first place in everything in the future, and you have to protect others.Especially those who are selected into the security team, don't think that the salary is easy to get, because if something happens, they will definitely be the first group to lose their lives.
The women in Taoyuan Village certainly understand, but they don't want to be the weak to be protected.Status and face are won by themselves, and they also want to be an indispensable member of the village, no matter what aspect it is.
Li Zheng was helpless, so he could only ask Chang Xile for his opinion.
Chang Xile was also taken aback when he heard this. Although he also had a plan to train women to have the ability to protect themselves, but due to the natural physical strength gap and the filthiness of some villains, he definitely didn't want to dispatch the Women's Army when it was absolutely necessary.But since they brought it up by themselves, Chang Xile felt that they shouldn't attack them.
"Xiao Miao, what do you think of this?"
Chang Yu didn't even think about it, "Then let's come together."
Chang Xile was still a little hesitant. He felt that women should be self-respecting and self-reliant, but this didn't mean that women had to do whatever men did. It was more reasonable to divide the work according to their specialties.In terms of physical strength, he prefers to put men first.
Chang Yu saw his hesitation, and said confidently: "Practice together, you can also cultivate a tacit understanding. I know how to teach, don't worry."
Seeing this, Chang Xile didn't stop her anymore. Lizheng finally selected thirty people from the applicants, half male and half male.
The winter in Taoyuan Village is very gloomy and cold, and Chang Xile had been injured before, and at this time, if she got a little bit cold, she would feel a bone-piercing pain, and only by sitting by the fire would she feel relieved.So even if he was sitting by the firepit, because of burning firewood, it would be easy to get disgraced, and he was willing to squat all the time.
He also tried burning charcoal for warmth, but found that it was still not as comfortable as the glowing red fire.He is used to the smell of cigarettes now, so as long as he doesn't sit right in front of the air, he doesn't feel anything.It's just that the carpentry workshop specially made a higher chair, and he couldn't get used to the grass pier anyway.
"Lele, the taro is cooked."
Chang Yu turned out the taro buried in the firewood ash with a wooden stick, quickly peeled off the taro skin, and then handed the steaming taro to Chang Xile.
The fragrance of taro rushed into Chang Xile's nose, which made people swallow their saliva.The taro in Taoyuan Village is very fragrant, sweet and glutinous, and tastes very good.Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun also brought a lot of taro from Taoyuan Village on this long voyage.
Chang Xile wanted to take it, but she was so hot that she withdrew her hand immediately. Seeing Chang Yu's inexplicable expression, she said speechlessly, "Xiao Miao, you said you have thin skin and tender flesh, why are you so not afraid of being scalded?"
Chang Yu quickly grabbed Chang Xile's hand, put it to his mouth and exhaled, "Lele, are you burning? I'm sorry, I thought it would be more comfortable to eat while it's hot, but I forgot that you're afraid of getting burned."
"I'm fine...what are you doing!"
Chang Yu breathed out, and suddenly put Chang Xile's fingers into his mouth, the warm and moist feeling spread from his fingers to his whole body, making people feel numb, which shocked Chang Xile.
"Help you heal your burns, saliva is useful." Chang Yu blinked, with a pure face.
Chang Xile couldn't laugh or cry, she withdrew her hand, "Don't listen to those nonsense words, besides, I'm not so delicate, I will get hurt if I touch it for a while."
Chang Yu didn't say anything, he blew on the peeled taro, and seeing that the heat was not so strong, he handed it to Chang Xile, "It's not hot now, Lele, eat it while it's hot."
Chang Xile took it and finished eating in two bites, while Chang Yu was already waiting with the second one.
"It's a good thing I don't get fat from eating. Otherwise, after one winter, I'm afraid I'd be so fat that I can't see anyone. During this time, I feel that my stomach has a lot more meat."
It's really boring to sit around the firepit and not do anything, so every time Chang Xile makes something to eat, although she doesn't eat much at a time, she never stops talking.And he doesn't like to move in winter, except for the routine exercise in the morning, he basically doesn't move.It was too cold outside, unless he went out for a walk when the sun was shining, he could squat in front of the firepit for a day, and now even the table has been moved here.
But it started to rain here after the Spring Festival, and Chang Xile would not go out for a month.
"Not fat, it was still a bone yesterday." Chang Yu tilted his head slightly and said seriously.
Chang Xile quickly looked outside, seeing that there was no one, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why do you say everything outside!" Chang Xile said a little displeased.
Although he already wanted to understand some things, he still didn't want others to know.The main reason is that Chang Yu is still young now, an adult hooking up with a child always feels a sense of guilt, and he is ashamed to reveal it to the public.Even though the people here never regarded Chang Yu as a child, Chang Xile still couldn't ignore Chang Yu's age.

Chang Yu became happy when he heard this.
At this time, Li Zheng came in in a hurry, "You are all here, I just need to find you."
"Lizheng, is something wrong? Why do you look so flustered?"
Li Zheng grabbed a grass mound and sat down, "Something has happened, someone from the county just came to pass the news, saying that a village in Lin County was massacred by bandits!"
Chang Xile was startled, "What?! How could this happen? Although there have been many disasters in our house, we only rob some property and rarely kill people."
"Isn't it? I couldn't believe it when I first heard the news. Our mansion has been quite peaceful these years. At most, there are always gangsters on some roads who like to rob passers-by, but I never thought it would be so unconscionable." What happened.

No way, Chang Jinhua had no choice but to accept it, and deliberately saw who would help the widow when accepting it, so it would loosen a lot when weighing it, and the original eight or nine taels were regarded as one catty.The people in this village are not stupid, especially they care most about these things for their livelihood.In this way, it made life easier for the widow, mother and son.
Even if you don't want to get involved, you won't take the opportunity to step on it anyway.
The widow is also transparent and grateful. Every time she comes to deliver things, she always tries to help out to show her gratitude.Those two children are now five or six years old, and they go to the field to help every time, which makes everyone like it very much, but they are all gone.
Although this matter was not a big deal, it became the topic of conversation in Taoyuan Village for a while, and Chang Xile also remembered this village.
Unexpectedly, this village was slaughtered, and no one was left behind.
Although he hated that group of people at the beginning, he didn't want to see them die like this, and there were many innocent children among them.
"Did no one escape?"
Lizheng shook his head and sighed, "Four or five days have passed since this happened. That village has few people and is far away from other villages, so no one knew what happened when it happened. Some people went to visit relatives, and only then did they find out that people in the whole village It's all gone."
"Where did the bandits come from, and why are they so vicious?"
"I heard from the policemen from the county that they came here from the outside, and this village just ran into them. The people from the government have been chasing and beating these gangsters, and they have killed most of them, and the rest are desperate It is estimated that they ran into the village by mistake because they were looking for food, probably because they were afraid that someone would tip off the news, so they all silenced them."
Chang Xile frowned, "Then have you found this group of people?"
"No!" Li Zheng said indignantly, "but fortunately, he is no longer in our area. I heard that he has gone to the Seafood Mansion along the canal. He probably wants to go to sea and escape to other countries. Hey, also I don’t know if these people can be brought to justice, otherwise the people in this village will die too unjustly.”
Although Chang Xile was very indignant in her heart, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, this group of people is not here, otherwise it would be too dangerous.The business and the construction site at the dock had to be stopped first, and he didn't dare to let everyone continue until these people were arrested.
"Why is Uncle Lizheng looking for me? But what orders does the county have?"
Now that Chang Xile has official status, while enjoying the prestige and benefits it brings, he also has to fulfill certain responsibilities.If there is any major issue in the county, he will be asked to discuss how to solve it together, and if necessary, he will give a contribution or money.
"That's not true. The county just sent someone to tell us to be more careful in the future. The canal is open, and it is easy to attract bandits. You have to be cautious in everything. I came here to ask, it wasn't that you wanted to set up a security team before, Let Lord Tiger teach the young men of our village, I just want to ask when will it start?"
At the same time that the construction of the Chang family compound and the commercial street began, the training of the village security team was also put on the agenda. Chang Xile originally planned to start after the spring plowing.
The life of Taoyuan Village is getting better and better, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Safety and security have become the top priority.
Although the monarch of the Liang country is quite wise, the various places are still not peaceful, and the trouble of banditry has never ceased.Although the government is trying its best to strangle them, they can't cut off the roots.A remote place like Daoxiang County is a place full of bandits.It's just that Daoxiang County has always been known for its poverty, so although there are bandits, they are not on a large scale.
But now with the promotion of the Taoyuan Village brand, more and more people know that such a place is still as peaceful as before, but it is hard to say.The government doesn't know how to garrison guards, so they can only rely on themselves to be strong to avoid Xiaoxiao's coveting.Otherwise, it will only become fat meat at the mercy of others, and it will be a blessing in disguise.
Not to mention hearing such news now, it is even more important.
What Chang Xile wants to do is to make everyone in Taoyuan Village a soldier, so that if there is an invasion from outside, no matter men, women or children, they can stand up bravely.Being famous for being fierce should not make people think that it is a bone that is easy to chew, so as to avoid more troubles.
Most of the gangsters here are villains who are lazy in production and just want to take shortcuts to make money.Most of them bully the weak and fear the strong, and what they like most is to rob the unarmed ordinary people, but those with power and power dare not provoke them, for fear of retaliation, or the loss outweighs the gain.
The first step to realize this idea is to train the young men and children in the village.
The training of the strong men is taught by Chang Yu himself, which is also the main strength of the village, while the training of the children is carried out by Chang Xile and Xinger, and Chang Yu occasionally comes to guide.
After several years of training, Myolie now has various movements in a good shape, and she often teaches her 'subordinates'.Although Chang Xile couldn't use it practically, her theory was good, and it was enough for the two of them to work together to teach a group of children.
And the security team in the village is selected from these well-trained young men.Mainly responsible for the safety of the village and the wharf, and can also get paid.
"I plan to do it after the spring plowing, and everyone will be able to free up their hands at that time."
Lizheng waved his hand, "This farmer never has time to make a move, especially when we have a lot of things to do and work, every time we are free. If you want me to say, it is better to practice one day earlier, so that everyone can feel at ease one day earlier. If We were not in such a hurry before, but now that everyone is living a better life and their reputation has spread, we are not at ease."
Chang Xile pondered for a moment, "If not, let's do it after the Chinese New Year. Martial arts training is about persistence. Don't go fishing for three days and spend two days posting nets. Those who visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year must stop."
Lizheng thought for a while, "Cheng, let's do it this way. If there is not enough manpower during the spring plowing, we can hire people from other villages. Now our village does not have to worry about food and clothing, and the most important thing is to save our lives."
Although the training has not officially started, Lizheng has already begun to select the first group of people.
At the beginning of training, you need to put your heart and soul into it, so as to achieve the effect.Once you have an appearance, you can practice for another hour or two every day.In this way, reasonable arrangements have to be made, and it is impossible to go all in one go. After all, they are not professional soldiers, but farmers.
Lizheng still adopts the method of voluntary registration. Now that everyone has experience, everyone will know what to do as soon as Lizheng announces.I also know not to sign up indiscriminately, and everything must be done according to my own conditions.
Otherwise, like at the beginning, because of trust, I am always happy, as long as I feel that what he made is good, I don’t care whether I am suitable or not, I sign up, and I am really selected, only to find out that I can’t do it.In this way, they will be directly pulled into the blacklist. If the same thing happens next time, unless there are not enough people, they will be excluded as a warning.
This is also to let everyone not follow blindly, and have a reasonable estimate of themselves and this matter, and not follow others.
Everyone heard about the gangster slaughtering the village. Although it was just an accident, everyone was still very scared. They all hoped that they could have even [-] to [-]% of Chang Yu's ability, so that they could resist one or two, so that they would not be directly slaughtered.So the registration was very active, and some women were even very unconvinced, because Li Zheng directly asked for a male gender.
"Lizheng, we women are also members of the village, so why can't we be the only ones who can do it?"
A tall and thick sister-in-law shouted that everyone called her Dayingzi before she was married, but now that she has a baby, many people still call her that.
Dayingzi has been strong and powerful since he was a child. He is tall and thick, with black and thick eyebrows, so he is not easy to mess with.He is stronger than a man, has a carefree personality, and his voice is like a broken gong.Every time she went to the fields to work harder than men, everyone laughed and said that the ground shook when she ran over.
Later, because a carpentry workshop was built in the village, a lot of wood was needed.Dayingzi went to chop trees specifically, and few people in Taoyuan Village could compare with that strength.
Originally, her natal family thought that she would not be able to get married in the future. The brothers and sisters in the family were all ready to support their sisters and sisters for the rest of their lives. Anyway, it was just a matter of extra rations. Besides, Dayingzi didn't need them to take care of her skills at all, she was just too old Just let your children help you.
Unexpectedly, the most handsome and shy guy in the village named Ding Ning fell in love with him. Ding Ning is just the opposite of Dayingzi. He is a man but has a thin skin and tender flesh. He has been more beautiful than a little girl since he was a child. It is recognized that the only one who looks better than Chang Xile.
But Chang Xile is called Wenqi, and Ding Ning is a bit feminine.And the personality is also shy like a big girl, she does things very meticulously, and she weaves better and faster than women.
Many people thought that he was afraid that he would find a man to marry in the future, but they didn't expect to marry Dayingzi in the end.And in the second year, Dayingzi had a child, and gave birth to a very delicate little girl, who seemed to be printed out of the same mold as Ding Ning.
And this little girl was brought up by Ding Ning since she was a child, and she did everything except not breastfeeding.In contrast, Dayingzi behaved like an ordinary woman during her confinement period, which was suppressed by Ding Ning, otherwise she would have to get out of bed to work the next day after giving birth.
It is very difficult for other women to give birth, especially the first child, and the pain is so painful that they want to hit the wall.She was fine, she felt as if she had a stomachache, if Ding Ning hadn't seen her amniotic fluid break, he quickly held her back, otherwise the baby would have been born in the latrine.
As soon as she was confinement, Dayingzi went to cut trees as usual, and even told people that she held back for a month, which almost drove her crazy. Leave all the housework to Ding Ning.
Everyone said that these two people had the wrong birth in this life, so they lost each of them.God, this is to make up for it, so let them make a pair, which is just right.
Lizheng saw that Dayingzi had a headache, this woman is rougher than a man, she can knock your ears off if you say it, but she is still a woman after all, it's not good to really pull her ears and make her roll.
"This is just the first wave, there will be more later. Men and women are different, they have to be separated, and they can't practice together. It's not the same thing, but it will be a waste of time."
After hearing this, Dayingzi felt a little more at ease, "From what you mean, we women will be the next group?"
Li Zheng choked, how dare he answer these words, men have not finished training to train women, if something happens, will a group of women really run ahead?He is not drowned in spittle.
"This is..."
Dayingzi is not stupid, so he can see Lizheng's perfunctory, "Lizheng, this is your fault, you are looking down on us women! Why don't you find someone to compare with me to see who is more powerful."
As soon as Dayingzi finished speaking, the group of men took a step back.It's not that they are cowardly, it's that they really can't afford to mess with this female overlord.You can't afford to provoke her as a woman, and you can't afford to not treat her as a woman.
"Uncle knows you are powerful, but other women don't have your strength..."
"Lizheng, I don't agree with this! We also have a lot of strength, and we are no worse than men after a little practice. Not to mention, seeing that Xing'er is young, she can treat boys who are a few years older than her. Giving uniforms means that it's not that we women can't do it, but that we haven't practiced well."
A woman in the crowd yelled, and as a result, many women echoed, all vying to sign up.
Li Zheng was very speechless in his heart, why these women are desperate, he just made it clear, this is not just a matter of practice.As long as you are selected, you have to rush to the first place in everything in the future, and you have to protect others.Especially those who are selected into the security team, don't think that the salary is easy to get, because if something happens, they will definitely be the first group to lose their lives.
The women in Taoyuan Village certainly understand, but they don't want to be the weak to be protected.Status and face are won by themselves, and they also want to be an indispensable member of the village, no matter what aspect it is.
Li Zheng was helpless, so he could only ask Chang Xile for his opinion.
Chang Xile was also taken aback when he heard this. Although he also had a plan to train women to have the ability to protect themselves, but due to the natural physical strength gap and the filthiness of some villains, he definitely didn't want to dispatch the Women's Army when it was absolutely necessary.But since they brought it up by themselves, Chang Xile felt that they shouldn't attack them.
"Xiao Miao, what do you think of this?"
Chang Yu didn't even think about it, "Then let's come together."
Chang Xile was still a little hesitant. He felt that women should be self-respecting and self-reliant, but this didn't mean that women had to do whatever men did. It was more reasonable to divide the work according to their specialties.In terms of physical strength, he prefers to put men first.
Chang Yu saw his hesitation, and said confidently: "Practice together, you can also cultivate a tacit understanding. I know how to teach, don't worry."
Seeing this, Chang Xile didn't stop her anymore. Lizheng finally selected thirty people from the applicants, half male and half male.
