Chapter Nineteen It's Not Simple

"Bang!Bang!Bang"

"Bang!Bang!Bang"

Niulan Cave is located in a mountainside a hundred meters west of Xiangjia Village. There are cliffs dozens of feet above and below. In the middle, a half-meter-wide path was manually expanded. After walking along the path, it is a flat and round hole after walking on the concave mountainside for more than 40 meters. Just use a few guns to guard the hole. The attacker wants to attack the hole in a short time, which is tantamount to dreaming. And here is also the last barrier for the villagers of Xiangjia Village to run into the deep mountains.

When Xiang Lao San led twenty or thirty old men slowly into the Niulan Cave and was about to build a position with stones, he suddenly heard the messy rifle sounds and muskets coming from the mountain, as well as each other's insults and screams. He could tell with his butt that the young people who wanted to escape from the back mountain into the forest were intercepted by bandits.

Yi was worried and heard the gunshots, and his heart felt like he was being pressed by a stone. Yi sat on the ground with a gray face and cold sweat came out. He pointed to the top of the mountain and cursed: "Damn the bandit, I actually want to kill my Xiangjia Village. I will never stop with you."

Other old people also pointed to the hillside and cursed, but they could only curse: not to mention the poor and weak old people in the cave, even some old women were still tangling their feet, which made people feel helpless.

"Okay, don't scold me." After all, it was the village chief. After all, everyone shut up: "Women load ammunition, collect food and go to the cave to get water. We men carry stones and build them at the entrance of the cave. We are preparing to fight with the bandits who have killed these days. The bandits who have stopped the young people from going there, and the young people can only come to the Niulan Cave."

The last words made everyone look like lightning strikes, and everyone's faces were pale, and some women even began to cry: The biggest idea of ​​their voluntary visit to Niulan Cave was that they did not want to drag down their families, and at the same time helped their families get time to escape. Now, the family has not run out, but wants to get to Niulan Cave. Wouldn't that be the last one? Who wouldn't be sad when they think of this?

"What's the point of wailing? Shut up!" Xiang Lao San shouted angrily, and everyone looked at it.

"To tell you the truth, I have asked Dayou to go to the town to invite the Red Army. I believe that the Red Army will come to rescue us in less than a few hours."

This gives everyone hope! With hope, everyone is full of enthusiasm, not only has a much better expression, but also has the strength to work.

"But, third brother, how much money do you give Dayou to help the soldiers?" The elder, who is the highest-ranking in the village, asked very authentically: In the past, it would cost a lot of money to invite the Kuomintang troops to fight bandits. Otherwise, not to mention whether the Kuomintang troops could shoot bandits, even if the bandits were killed away, it would be a disaster for the villagers. It would be better not to invite them.

"Uncle Second, I didn't give Dayou's penny."

After these words, everyone started talking again.

"What are you shouting? Let me tell you, I believe that the Red Army will definitely help us for free, because the Red Army leader made a poisonous oath in front of me and many people. If he or she would come to help us, his whole family would not die well. Besides, so many people were watching at that time. He or she would not fulfill his oath, hum! They don't think of the more important ones in our Guitang Town. They know more than us." Fortunately, the oath of this era is still very reliable. Don't look at the third brother who is talking firmly now, but think about the scene when he forced Zhang Guozhi to oath at that time, he felt a little guilty and a little glad: Fortunately, he forced the Red Army official to be so arrogant.

"The third brother is right. Last time the Red Army came to our village, not only did they not ask us to share money, but they also did not harm our family. They said nothing. Even if they eat and drink, they were all led by themselves. Not only did they help us work, but they also distributed rations to us when they left. I have lived such a considerate and good team for so long, but I have never heard of it. I believe I will keep my word. Okay, don't stand there, do whatever you should do."

Everyone was busy with their own things, but they didn't show up. The gunshots from the mountain were already sparse.

Not long after, the third brother carried a big stone to the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, the person beside him shouted: "Look, someone is here over there! Isn't this the guest of Goudan's family and his two sons?"

"Look, the one who walked behind them really thought it was from Guifang's house."

Listening to everyone's discussion, I looked at the third son, and it turned out that they were all young people and children in the village.

"What are you shouting? I didn't say just now that the bandits surrounded the village and they couldn't run out, so they could only go to the Niulan Cave. Okay, don't look at it, move the stones and prepare muskets, so that the bandits would not rush to follow them and catch us off guard. The Red Army came here from the town. One hour would be enough. Damn, I still don't believe that there are so many people and so many guns, and there is no shortage of food and water. Not to mention an hour, I can keep it even for a month."

Morale is booming!

Everyone imagined it naturally that the bandits were not fools. Since they could surround the entire village, how could they let go of the panic opportunity of the young man running over and follow them and take advantage of the situation to attack.

However, amid everyone's fears, the young people and children in the village actually entered the Niulan Cave safely, and even the three injured injured people successfully entered the cave. Not to mention the bandits, even the gunshots did not sound.

Without thinking too much, Xiang Lao San quickly asked the young man to help block the road with stones. More than ten muzzles stretched out from the thin cracks between the stones, preparing and waiting.

It was time for the time being that all the work was done, Xiang Lao San breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on a stone, pulled out a cigarette from his waist, filled the cigarette pot, and lit it. As soon as he sucked, he saw Shi Tou coming with a gun, sat on the stone beside him, rubbed the blood on his hands on the sand on the ground twice, pulled out his cigarette pipe, filled it, lit it, and after taking a suck, he said, "The three of them are not seriously injured and there is not much danger. But there are not many herbs, and if there are any more casualties, it will be troublesome."

Nodded to the third brother and didn't say anything.

Silently, the two of them finished smoking a bag of cigarettes silently. After Xiang Lao San kowtowed the cigarette pot on the ground, he put the cigarette pot into the cigarette and asked lightly, "Stone, do you think it's strange?"

"Well! The bandits came to rob, not to mention that they were very different from before, it was a bit inexplicable. After preventing us from escaping into the mountains, although they chased us, they stopped only to the intersection of the road, and even were too lazy to shoot and scare us. If we didn't run anywhere else, they wouldn't shoot, and even robbed us in the house. I felt that this was not a robbery, but just to drive us to a place so that they could occupy our village. Don't they know that with this terrain, we could definitely defend the Red Army to rescue us."

Shi Tou said a little whisperedly, but Xiang Lao San suddenly stood up and shouted softly: "No! This is using us to perform."

Seeing Shi Tou's confusion, he shook his head and sat down to the third brother, patted his thighs, and smiled bitterly at Shi Tou: "Oh! Even if we figured it out, what can we do if we are trapped here?"
