The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

After sending the group away, Liu Wenniang closed the courtyard door, took Yan Shu's hand and returned to the main house.

Yan Ersheng was sitting on the bed, and beside the bed stood the three brothers Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai.

Jiang Ci also walked in afterwards.

After the family gathered together, Yan Ersheng looked at Yan Shu.

"Daughter, does the matter of Yan Peng and Yan Zhenzhen have anything to do with you?"

Yan Peng is much smarter than his father. With his personality, he will not cause such a scandal before marrying the daughter of the Su family.

Thinking back to Yan Peng's reaction just now, I am afraid that this matter really has something to do with his daughter.

"I did it." Yan Shu admitted generously.

Jiang Ci glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "And me."

Yan Ersheng looked at them doubtfully.

"Daughter, Erlang, is Yan Peng provoking you?"

These two children are not the ones causing trouble. Since they have come to this point, it is determined that the big house has done something.

Yan Shu told his family what happened last night, and the family was very angry after hearing it.

Yan Wu clenched his fists and looked like he was about to fight: "Yan Peng, this beast, I must give him a lesson."

Yan Huai comforted him: "Second brother, don't be impulsive. Some problems cannot be solved with just fists."

Yan Ersheng's face was livid, his anger surged, and he was silent in a dull tone.

He blamed himself deeply in his heart. His so-called relatives not only hurt him, but also hurt his family. He was unable to protect his daughter and allowed her to be hurt by those beasts many times.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated himself, so Yan Ersheng punched the wooden bed hard.

Liu Wenniang looked at Yan Ersheng distressedly: "Second brother, don't feel too guilty. When our daughter grows up, she is not something ordinary people can bully."

Yan Shu said with relief: "Dad, why is your daughter so easy to be bullied? Today I brought Yan Peng and Yan Zhenzhen together to completely muddy the stinky water of Dafang's family. Yan Peng and the Su family are already engaged. , and now that Yan Zhenzhen’s innocence has been ruined, neither family will let it go, and the Dafang family is having a lot of fun these days.”

Yan Ersheng's expression softened a little: "If it doesn't work, let's move out of this village. We can move trees and dead people and move living things. If you have skills, you can survive wherever you go."

Liu Wenniang said: "Maybe it won't be long before everyone is fleeing the country. I don't know where to live by then. In short, I'll just stay far away from Dafang's family from now on."

The family sat together and chatted for a while, and Jiang Ci took a look at the sky.

"Uncle Yan, I got news that there may be refugees entering the village tonight to loot."

Yan Ersheng frowned: "Is the news reliable?"

"What comes from the mouths of the refugees should be true."

Liu Wenniang said nervously: "So that group of refugees are coming to rob us? What should we do?"

The men of the Yan family looked grave.

Yan Huai said: "Father, mother, we must inform the village chief and seventh uncle about this matter immediately."

Yan Ersheng nodded: "Lao San, go and inform the village chief and others. Whether the news is true or false, let the villagers be prepared."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Yan Shu frowned slightly and carefully recalled the contents of the book. The book did mention that refugees entered the village late at night and looted it.

Except for the main house of the Yan family, almost everyone in Xinghua Village was looted, and several villagers were even beaten to death by the refugees during the resistance.

The situation of the second room of the Yan family was even worse. Not only was the little food in the family robbed, but the leader of the refugees also burned down the already dilapidated home.

It's just that the specific time is not written in the book. Now that Jiang Ci has received the news, this disaster must have happened tonight.

"Dad, Mom, our family must take precautions tonight. Mom, put all the food in the house in my house."

Liu Wenniang knew that her daughter had a solution, so she didn't ask much. Ma Liu took out the rice, flour, oil, and eggs hidden under the bed. These were all sent by Yan Shu on a daily basis, and she packed two large baskets.

Jiang Ci stood up and said to Yan Wen and Yan Wu: "Brother Yan, second brother Yan, let's come out and talk."

The two brothers followed Jiang Ci and walked out.

Yan Shu returned to the room, closed the door, and put two large baskets of grain into the space.

When she walked out of the house, she saw Jiang Ci and Yan Wen digging a hole at the door, and she walked over curiously.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Jiang Ci's men continued their work and replied: "Set up the formation."

Yan Shu asked in surprise: "You know how to set up a formation?"

Jiang Ci raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly: "I understand a little bit."

I'm afraid this "somewhat understanding" is just a polite word.

He is a genius who can strategize on the battlefield and win decisive battles thousands of miles away. The art of war is naturally within the scope of what he has learned since childhood.

Yan Shu secretly sighed, the boss is indeed a boss.

"What do you need my help for?"

"Brother Yan is going to chop bamboo. My sister-in-law can help with cutting bamboo arrows later."

"it is good."

After Liu Wenniang hid a few taels of silver at home, she also came to help.

Yan Wu quickly came back with several bamboos on his shoulders. Following Jiang Ci's instructions, he split the bamboos section by section and made bamboo arrows as thick as fingers.

After Yan Huai came back, he saw a family sitting and busy in the yard, and looked at them curiously.

"What are you doing?"

Yan Wudao: "Erlang said he wanted to set up a formation, but we don't know how to set up the formation."

Yan Wen said with a smile: "Erlang has read a lot, so he must know more than us. Let's just do what he says."

Yan Huai nodded, feeling that his elder brother was right, so he came over and started to help.

Yan Shu asked: "Third brother, what did the village chief say?"

"The village chief has gone from house to house to notify everyone. Everyone will take precautions at night. The seventh uncle organized a group of strong men to guard the entrance of the village. If there is any movement, they will sound the gong to alert them."

Yan Shu still felt uneasy. There were only more than 300 people in the village. Apart from the old, weak, women and children, there were not many young and strong people.

The book said that there were 700 refugees who came to the village to rob the village this time. I am afraid that the villagers of Xinghua Village simply cannot resist them.

Seeing her frown, Jiang Ci said softly: "We have done everything we can, and let fate do the rest. I can guarantee the safety of our family tonight."

With Jiang Ci's words, Yan Shu felt inexplicably more at ease.

They are not saviors, and they cannot save everyone.

In the face of catastrophic disasters, human beings are extremely small and fragile. Until they are not strong enough, they can only survive alone.

Late night

Yan Wu and Yan Huai were guarding the main room, while the others had gone back to their rooms to rest.

When approaching Chou, a "bang bang" sound of gongs was heard from the entrance of the village.

Yan Wu rushed out of the house first, climbed up to a banyan tree in the yard and looked towards the entrance of the village. He saw dots of fire moving quickly towards the village, and could still vaguely hear the sounds of shouting and killing.

Yan Shu slept very lightly that night and didn't even take off his clothes. When he heard the noise outside, he hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out.

At this time, Jiang Ci, who was next door, also walked out of the room, and the two looked at each other.

"Uncle, they are here."

"Well, there are a lot of people listening."

Liu Wenniang, Yan Huai, and Yan Wen also came out.

Yan Wen said: "Second child, third child, quickly prepare everything we can use to defend ourselves."

The two younger brothers immediately ran to the utility room and picked out a few handy farm tools.

Yan Wen and Yan Wu each held a hoe, while Yan Huai held a sickle.

"Mom, little sister, Erlang, the three of you come into the house quickly. If someone breaks in, the three of us will bear it."

Yan Shu picked up a woodcutter from a pile of farm tools: "Mom, you go into the house, I'll stay to help."

She didn't chase Jiang Ci away because she knew very well that among their group, only Jiang Ci was the real master.

The children are outside, so Liu Wenniang can't go into the house without worry.

"I will also be here to guard you. One more person will give you more strength."

Yan Ersheng was sitting in the room worried.

"Be careful, those refugees are all life-threatening masters."

"I know dad!"

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps approached.

Jiang Ci's eyes were slightly cold and he listened carefully for a moment.

"More than 20 came."
