Chapter 4 Misfortune
"Beauty." As long as he stood in the three-foot space of the beauty, Chu Damao felt that this chaotic world was so beautiful. He instantly forgot that he was defeated and that he was chased away by the enemy.
The ancestral hall is the tablets of the ancestors of Zhaojia Village and the place where the family tree is located. It was not a place for people to live, but the masked beauty chose to live here. Of course, her beard was obedient. He asked his subordinates to find a single mattress to cover the tablets, which made it much more comfortable.
The beauty didn't say anything, just sat on a square stool, as quiet as a statue.
"Beauty, don't worry, I lost this time, but I know the Iron Blooded Marshal. He has always admired me very much. Last time I wanted to recruit me. This time I went to surrender, and I will definitely make a comeback." He said that, "Beauty, take off the veil and let me see it, even if it's just a glance."
The beauty finally reacted this time, raised her head slightly, and her long hair scattered with the movement of raising her head. She looked at her beard and said leisurely: "You have seen me twice and can't meet the third time again. If you really love me, don't let me take off the veil, otherwise something unfortunate will happen."
"Beauty, you are superstitious. The Northern Dynasties have been destroyed for ten years, and now they are the world of the seven marshals. We should throw away all the dross. I am a soldier and don't believe in evil. I don't believe in any 'three-sided curse'."
"But when you meet me for the first time, you will kill your six concubines. After meeting me for the second time, you will be defeated and suffer heavy losses. If you really meet me for the third time, then the most terrible thing will happen." Although the beauty was masked, she spoke clearly every word, just like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, pleasant and pleasant.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe this kind of lie. This is just a lie that the witches lie to you. I don't believe it. Let me take a look at it again, just a glance." Beard was very excited: "Even if I look at it, it doesn't matter if I die."
The beauty was hesitating, but finally sighed: "Since that's the case, then wait tonight."
"Okay, okay, great, I'll wait till tonight." Bearded excitedly said, "Beauty, don't lie to me."
"I won't lie to you." After saying that, the veiled beauty continued to lower her head and returned to quiet.
"Who is it? Why are you blocking the ancestral hall?" There was also a secret thought inside the wall of the ancestral hall. Originally, the three of them were going to go out of the ancestral hall, but they didn't expect that someone was blocking it there.
At this time, Qin Ying had a sword with a snakeskin scabbard behind him, and Zhao Hu was still holding a big sword with a thick back, while Ye Bei not only had a short sword but also a bulging cowhide pocket.
Although Ye Bei was very dissatisfied with the behavior of outsiders blocking the ancestral hall, he was also curious to know whether this beauty was really cursed, whether anyone who had seen her on three sides would be unlucky. How beautiful is she to bear such a curse? It’s just that her figure is indeed enchanting and tempting. When she looks at her humble beard, she is afraid she is indeed a super beauty.
I want to see it, but I will be unlucky at first sight? Ye Bei was both curious and surprised.
"Is there any other way?" Zhao Hu asked in a low voice. He had many questions, but now it is not the time to ask, and they have to find a way to save people first.
Qin Ying didn't say anything, her clear eyes staring at the beauty's silhouette. The other party had an ominous aura, which was the aura of a demon: "We will stay here until dark, and rest now." After that, she sat down against the wall inside the secret door and closed her eyes.
Ye Bei also closed his eyes and rested like his senior sister.
"How can you two sleep?" Zhao Hu was anxious. His family was all outside.
"It's not sleeping, it's rest." Ye Bei said: "We have to wait until the night to act. If we don't rest now, how can we have the energy to kill the enemy at night? If you want to save people, you must first be energetic. Like you, don't say saving people, wait until the night is too late."
Zhao Hu had nothing to say, but he was really anxious. He wanted to rescue everyone now and then ask all the questions in his heart. He looked at Qin Ying, who was resting with his eyes closed. He was obviously familiar with childhood sweethearts, but he was so unfamiliar at this time. Whether it was the secret passage or the weapons hidden in the basement, it was beyond his expectations. He didn't know the existence of these things at all. Grandpa knew, did he know the identity of the old scholar he had saved?
"You are right. They have guns. When we go out now, we are looking for death." Zhao Hu sat down as he said that. I have to say that he is still very rational and did not get confused because of the crisis.
The three of them waited slowly after the secret door.
The soldiers outside found all the food they could eat in the village. In addition to this meal, they also had to prepare dry food. By their waste, the villagers' future food will become a problem.
It's only spring plowing now, and there is still half a year to harvest in the autumn. These grains were originally the food for villagers for half a year, but these deserters didn't care about them. They all had masters who had today but not tomorrow. They wouldn't cherish them at all, and they had never considered the life of the villagers.
If the villagers don’t have enough food, they will go to escape. Anyway, there are refugees everywhere now. If they flee to big cities, they may even be able to ask for food.
The villagers dared not speak out, and they felt very distressed when they looked at the wasteful food. But facing the black muzzle, they had no chance to resist. How could the physical body compete with the bullet?
"Old patriarch, I didn't see Zhao Hu, Qin Ying and Ye Bei, they won't be in trouble, right?"
"It should be that they have been hiding. They are the three smartest young people in our village." The patriarch said: "Everyone can bear it. I think these soldiers will not stay for a long time."
"These damn robbers have ruined all our food. What should we do this year?"
Yes, what should I do? It was a self-sufficiency life, but now it can't survive. They are facing a big crisis of food shortage now.
Even if you don’t die now and have no food to eat, you will die soon.
Some women cried silently, and they were worried that their children might starve to death.
"Zhao Zhang, stop crying and scaring the child." The old patriarch knew that they had to calm down now, and neither crying nor fear could solve the problem: "At worst, we can go to the city to work, and we are not without strength."
But they know nothing about the city. They don’t understand what the people in the city say. How can they work? Leaving the comfort zone of Zhaojia Village, they will be at a loss. Such changes are too difficult. Faced with an uncertain future, worries and fears are completely uncontrollable.
The old patriarch was actually afraid, but what could he do? He had to stabilize everyone's mind and was completely confused about the future. After leaving the village, how did they survive? The food, clothing and expenses of these dozens of people were all large-scale consumption. Whether they could find jobs to support so many people in the city is unknown.
