The life of rebirth is a running account

Zhang Qing hurriedly dressed and got out of bed, with his hair loose, grabbed the willow-leaf sword hanging on the wall, and opened the door.Gu Tian stood at the door and saw that he was wearing a thin white silk shirt with the collar wide open, the sleeves were disheveled, there were red marks on his neck, his hair was disheveled, and he was full of style. He blushed, but still said anxiously. "Young master, I just came to report that pirates were found in Xiushui Village, [-] miles to the south, but Xiushui Village has a lot of people, and they are very well-prepared, so they didn't enter the village. I was afraid they would come to our village. The young master is leaving. Leave two people behind, and tell you to take you back to Linhai if something goes wrong. The car is ready, so you can go quickly." Said, leaning sideways, waiting for Zhang Qing to go out.

Zhang Qing said: "What about you?"

Gu Tian said: "The servant's family will not leave. The elderly, women and children in the village will first hide in the cave in the back mountain. We young and strong men will guard the village here."

Zhang Qing said: "I'm not going either, I'll guard the village with you."

Gu Tian blushed and said, "How can I do that? If something happens, how will the servant explain to the young master?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know martial arts and medicine, so I can protect myself, maybe I can help you if I stay here."

Gu Tian persisted.Zhang Qing's face sank and he said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it. Am I going to leave your family behind and run for your life? That's it!"

Gu Tian was speechless, and he dared not disobey the young master's order.Seeing Zhang Qing's insistence, he had no choice but to go to the front yard first and arrange for a soldier to deliver a letter to Qin Shucheng.Zhang Qing closed the door, tidied up his clothes, shoes and socks, brought his hand crossbow and sword, and followed to the front hall to have a look.

Gu Tian had just sent a soldier back when he saw Zhang Qing bowed and said, "Young master, the slave's parents, wife and daughter are all at Lizheng's house. The whole village has gone, and everyone discusses how to deal with it." Zhang Qing nodded: "Let's go too."

Open the door and go out, the heavy rain has just passed, the air is fresh, the main street is paved with bluestone slabs, and it is not muddy.There were broken branches and leaves everywhere.Zhang Qing followed Gu Tian and walked eastward for dozens of meters. After turning a corner, he saw a large courtyard. The courtyard was full of people, including young and strong men, young girls, wives, children, old people, etc. They looked anxious and talked one after another.

Gu Tian led Zhang Qing through the crowd, and the girls and wives whispered.Zhang Qing heard a few words inadvertently, and said, she looks so beautiful, like a fairy. ． ．Zhang Qing's face turned red slightly, and everyone was fascinated by it, and then quietly discussed: "Ah, you are blushing, so beautiful, no wonder the general..." Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and walked forward.

Entering a hall facing the gate of the courtyard, there are many old people and middle-aged men sitting in the hall, it seems that they are all senior and serious people in the village.Seeing that Gu Tian brought a person in, they immediately stood up.Zhang Qing thought he was young, so he didn't go in.A fat old man hurriedly let him in to the guest seat directly opposite the door, and the man stood up and asked Zhang Qing to sit down.Zhang Qing refused to sit, but the old man held him down and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is a nobleman, and he should take the seat, so don't refuse." It turned out that the Qin family was the largest wealthy household in the village, and the Qin family was the head of the horse whenever there was an important event. .After Master Qin passed away, Qin Shucheng did not come back, so he did not discuss the affairs of the village in the past few years.Now that General Qin is back, naturally he can't go past him.Although he is not at home today, Zhang Qing is his wife, but not a woman, so he should attend.

Zhang Qing saw that he couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down, and everyone was also seated.The person who started it was Li Zheng, surnamed Liu, tall and thin, about fifty years old.Zhang Qing and Lizheng greeted each other, and Lizheng hurriedly returned the salute.Zhang Qing sat back and listened to him.

Li was clearing his throat, and everyone in the hall fell silent.It turned out that everyone in the hall was a prudent man, and they would not discuss it openly. Many people looked at Zhang Qing and praised him secretly. Such a handsome young man is really rare.

Li Zheng said: "Mr. Zhang, pirates have been found in Xiushui Village [-] miles away. Although there is no loss, our village should also be vigilant to prevent pirates from coming. We all discussed and hid the old and weak women and children first. Houshan. The young and strong men stand guard in groups, what do you think?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "The younger generation is young, it's up to the uncles and uncles to decide."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "The general is not here, so I should ask Mr. Zhang for his opinion."

Zhang Qingdao: "I listened to everyone, this is very good. I just don't know if the pirates are all skilled in martial arts? If they attack, can they resist?"

Li was attacking an old man with white beard and said seriously: "The pirates are extremely ferocious, and their martial arts are very strong. They have invaded this place before. It's just that I will try my best to keep the village!"

Zhang Qing turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "There shouldn't be many of us with high martial arts skills. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, why not find some help?"

Several people asked at the same time: "What help?"

Zhang Qingdao: "The younger generation has a friend who is a doctor. He passed me some herbal medicines that can anesthetize people in a short period of time. I have some of them now and I can take them out. It's just that the herbal medicines are limited and we need to pick new ones. It's just here But there are no such medicines. I saw some wisterias in the field the day before yesterday, which can barely be used as substitutes."

Li Zheng slightly frowned and said, "Wine grass can intoxicate cattle, so no one cuts it to feed livestock. Can this replace it? It's just that the effect is slower."

Seeing the worry in everyone's eyes, Zhang Qing said: "Pick more and light up the fireworks, the smoke will still be intoxicating. Everyone can drink tea in advance, and you can get drunk yourself. It's just that it takes a lot. And if it rains, it will be over." .”

Li Zheng stood up and said loudly to everyone: "So, just as Mr. Zhang said. First divide into teams to guard, and the rest will pull weeds. The old and weak, women and children go to the back mountain and bring some dry food and water. Brother Zhang, you send two I will follow them to the back mountain first, and then come back to guard the village." A small old man got up and went out.

Everyone stood up.Li is starting to distribute according to the population of each family, the crowd is chaotic but orderly, and there is no noise.It wasn't until noon that the distribution was over.Some well-built middle-aged women also volunteered to stay and help with the cooking.Everyone goes back and arranges for the young and old.Zhang Qing asked to join the patrol, but Li Zheng couldn't resist him, so he and Gu Tian had to be included in one of the teams.

Zhang Qing and Uncle Gu's family went back and arranged for Aunt Gu, Xiang'er, mother and daughter to go to the back mountain with the brigade.

There is only one road between the entrance of the village and the outside world, and there is a tall archway. It was built by Master Qin when he was a young man, and the old master Qin funded the renovation of the school as a proof of his son's glory. up.Zhang Qing touched the simple and simple patterns on the archway, and thought, there must be the growth track of Qin Shucheng here.

The young and middle-aged patrolling guards, with 30 people in each team, patrolled for four hours, working in three shifts, day and night.Because it is also close to the sea, it is sometimes attacked by pirates, so everyone is always on guard. As long as there is news that pirates are coming, they will often take turns guarding in this way, and most of them have swords and some simple martial arts. Because the effect of intoxication is slow, few people use it to prevent theft. Li Zheng saw that Zhang Qing knew some medical principles, and lighting this would not do any harm, so he believed him.Some of the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to work. Now there are a total of 180 people, and it happens to be done in two days.This village is really small, Zhang Qing complained.

At the entrance of the village, a fire is lit during the day and night, and medicinal herbs are filled into the fire, and this kind of grass is also burned in the front yard of each house, so the whole village is shrouded in a faint but fishy smell of wisteria.Zhang Qing distributed his hand crossbow to some of the people and taught them how to use it.There was no sound for two days in a row, but everyone did not dare to slack off.

This evening it was Zhang Qing and Gu Tian's turn.It was very cloudy, and Zhang Qing was worried about the rain.Sitting in a temporary bamboo shed, looking out of the village.At the entrance of the empty village, there should have been moonlight, but the sky was overcast and the surrounding area was pitch black. Only a few large fires were burning in front of the bamboo shed, and the firewood inside was crackling and sparks were flying everywhere.The air, full of wisteria, is still damp and fishy.

A young man named Sanzhu from the village came in to ask Zhang Qing to rest first, and they were there.Zhang Qing saw that they were all in good spirits, so he said that he would sleep for a while, and they would rest later, so he half leaned on the bamboo bed and closed his eyes to rest.The young men in the village saw Zhang Qing's tall and beautiful figure, and his frowns and smiles seemed to have magical powers, which made people want to move their eyes.I didn't dare to look at it blatantly, so I often peeked at it.Zhang Qing got used to it, so he didn't care, and got along well with them.Those people didn't look down on them when they saw Zhang Qing, and treated Zhang Qing with more consideration.

In the middle of the night when I was drowsy, I suddenly heard a sharp whistle, and the gong suddenly sounded. It was the patrol companions calling the police!Zhang Qing's heart tightened, he opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up, grabbed Liu Yejian and rushed out.Dozens of villagers jumped up and rushed forward.

Zhang Qing squeezed in front of the people, and after seeing the shadow of the thick stone pillars in the archway, more than a dozen figures rushed out, swift as the wind.The distance is still far away, the fire is extinguished, and the face cannot be seen clearly.But they all have long knives in their hands, as thin as a crescent moon, shining coldly under the firelight.Several gongs were beating continuously, and the dogs in the whole village were barking wildly, and the villagers woke up one after another.

Here, Zhang Qing gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, suppressed the beating in his heart, threw off the scabbard, held the sword in one hand, and the bright willow-leaf sword almost reflected his snow-white face.Everyone raised their knives and swords one after another, shouted, and rushed forward.

Zhang Qing rushed into the crowd and caught an enemy's long knife. The strength was not small, and his arm was numb. The enemy's clothes were similar to those of the locals. With a small bun, a sallow complexion, fierce eyes, and a knife like lightning.Zhang Qing couldn't care less about admiring the ancient Yamato Ronin, nor caring about being afraid. Zhang Qing, who had never killed a chicken in his previous life, did his best to spread the sword flowers like rain, killing people.Under the firelight, the crowd was chaotic, swords were ringing, and there were painful roars from time to time.

These pirates have actually been hiding behind the archway in the middle of the night, and they are planning to take advantage of the sleepiness of the villagers in the second half of the night to catch them off guard. Who knows that after staying for a long time and inhaling too much vine smoke, all of them are a little slow in their hands and feet, otherwise these villagers , How can they live a few rounds in their hands.Although the strength has been discounted, it is still very fierce.

This pirate's martial arts is not too good, Zhang Qing called it a fluke, saw the opportunity and shot a small arrow, only circled around him and did not meet with weapons.Seeing the effect of his medicine, hurry up to support other companions.

Thirty people fought against more than a dozen people, and they were barely able to catch up. Villagers were still injured, fell to the ground, rolled over and cried out in pain.

Zhang Qing struggled to hold on, but this time he was caught by a stout and short pirate, who looked to be grinning and mischievous, but powerful and fast.Zhang Qing was sweating profusely and his heart was beating like a drum. It would be a lie if he said he was not afraid.Seeing that the arm is sore and weak, I can't hold it anymore.Suddenly he found that the pirate didn't kill him, but just wanted to force him to give up his sword.As the sword came and went, two mouse-like eyes stared at him with blazing eyes, and their mouths were grinning, not knowing what they were laughing at.Zhang Qing's thoughts turned, he held his saber, and grinned, under the bright firelight, Zhang Qing's eyes were like bright stars, and that smile was like ten thousand pear blossoms blooming.The pirate was stunned for a moment, and his subordinates became slow, as if he had drunk a lot of drunken grass smoke, and at this moment he had an attack, and it was even slower. Only then did Zhang Qing have a chance to shoot another arrow, and again Support for a moment, watching him gradually weaken.

Zhang Qing felt that a long time had passed, but in fact it had only been more than a quarter of an hour.The villagers rushed over with knives and sticks shouting.Seeing the crowd, Zhang Qing staggered back a few steps, sat on the ground with a "plop", and couldn't get up again.
