Chapter 5 Righteous Shots

Lu Ning was helpless and inexplicably fell to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This was undoubtedly fatal for a modern person. Especially for the laws of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he did not know the words and had no life skills. It was very difficult to live.

Lu Ning glanced at the old man, took back his disordered thoughts and said, "Old man, can you tell me about your little girl in detail and see if I can help you solve the difficulties."

After hearing this, the old man didn't have any great hope, especially the young man in front of him was even more thin. What could he do? "Sir, there is a group of horse thieves more than 100 miles away from our village. They have more than 200 people. They usually come and go without a trace. They often go to villages everywhere to rob food and things. If they are not satisfied, they will slaughter the village and kill all the people in the village. And I heard that there are many horse thieves a little far away. Sometimes our village will be burned, killed and robbed by barbarians such as Xianbei and Xiongnu. Once we encounter those barbarians, we have to escape to the mountains and wait for them to rob them before coming back. As for the government, let alone Mayi, even Yanmen County, I heard that no one cares about them now, and they are occupied by foreign barbarians. They will come every winter, and after the spring, the barbarians will go north again."

After hearing the old man's words, Lu Ning was shocked again. What's this happening? Even the government ran away, what should the people do? It seems that the Han Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty was too weak and could no longer see a strong emperor like the one in the period of Emperor Wu. It is probably no longer possible to attack foreign barbarians. The emperor no longer cared about the lives and deaths of the people at the border.

Lu Ning said: "Old man, there are not many horse thieves, so why don't you join the same village to unite against them? You can't always do this. Let the horse thieves come over to rob them when they are happy. This is not a solution."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, the old man shook his head. What you said was too easy. Is it that simple to make peace? The old man sighed and said, "Sir, you don't know that those horse thieves are riding horses and holding weapons in their hands. Even if the whole village comes out, they can't beat their horse thieves. My son resisted them last year and was killed by the horse thieves. Now the people in the village want to help but dare not help."

Lu Ning sympathized with the old man and knew that the Chinese people's mentality was to sweep the snow in front of the door and would not pay attention to the life and death of the person who lived in the village. "Old man, how many hunters are there in your village?"

The old man replied: "Sir, as long as the men in our village are basically hunters. Hunting up the mountain is our main source of income. There should be more than 30 adult men in the village."

Lu Ning thought to himself that he might have to learn Lu Zhishen from "Water Margin", so he said to the old man: "Old man, don't be afraid, I have a way to deal with those horse thieves. Tomorrow you go and call everyone in the village. I will tell you all about how to deal with horse thieves. I promise to eliminate that group of horse thieves."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Feng was very confident and had a little hope in his heart. In fact, the old man had no choice but to treat him as a living person. "Is what sir said true?" Lu Ning nodded to him seriously. The old man was about to kneel down for Lu Ning, and Lu Ning immediately helped him up.

That night, Lu Ning lived in the old man's house. The old man's surname was Zhang, and his ancestors were hunters for generations. Zhang's daughter and wife heard that Lu Ning had a way to help them deal with the horse thieves, so they came out to kneel down and bow down to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning made them not very polite, so he looked up at Old Man Zhang's daughter Osmanthus. Although she was wearing thick numbness, she still looked a bit beautiful. She was probably fifteen or sixteen years old. Her plump mountain peaks were still very straight and her waist was slender, so she could be considered a mid-grade beauty. Such a village girl was not easy to find in ancient villages. I guess Osmanthus should be considered the most beautiful woman in the village. No wonder she was attracted by a horse thief.

Old Man Zhang’s family had no food. The ones who hosted Lu Ning that night were all wild vegetables and made a plate of wild game and meat. If this were in later generations, it would be a pure natural green food.

On the second day, Old Man Zhang called all the people in the village and told the villagers that Lu Ning had a way to deal with the horse thieves. The people in the village came, but none of them believed Lu Ning. Everyone looked at Lu Ning with suspicious eyes.

Such a thin young man, no matter how good he had, he would never be able to deal with those horse thieves. He thought that Old Man Zhang couldn't bear to let his daughter down. In this case, it would have to implicate the whole village. Many people in the village were actually preparing to settle the score with Lu Ning and let Lu Ning stop meddling in other people's business.

Lu Ning glanced at the people in the village and knew that everyone would not have any confidence in him. Lu Ning whispered: "Friends, my name is Lu Ning, Zheng Ziyi, who is from Jianning. When I passed by here, I heard that the horse thieves were going to force the daughter of Mr. Zhang. I was very angry. I led the villagers to deal with the horse thieves and completely eliminate them so that there will be no horse thieves coming to harass you again in the future." Lu Ning had to take a word for himself, which was necessary in ancient times.

A middle-aged man in the village said, "You are not lying to us, are we going to deal with those horse thieves? The horse thieves have guns, swords and horses, and they ride horses. How do we deal with horse thieves? Besides, there are more than 200 horse thieves, and less than 100 people in our village. Apart from the elderly, women and children, we only have more than 30 people. How can we beat horse thieves? Are you kidding the lives of the people in our village?"

Lu Ning knew that this kid was right. If he only relied on the number of people and weapons and equipment, how could he beat the horse thief? But who is Lu Ning? He has traveled through more than 2,000 years, and his knowledge accumulation of more than 2,000 years is not comparable to that of the ancients. Even if Lu Ning watched it from movies and TV, he would definitely be able to deal with this group of horse thiefs. He just couldn't explain it clearly to the villagers, nor could he explain it clearly.

Lu Ning smiled and said to the people in the village: "Friends, you can only have a good life if you unite and fight against horse thieves or foreign enemies. Otherwise, today the horse thief will see the daughter of Mr. Zhang's family. What if the horse thief sees the wife of other people in a few days? Do you not give it to me? When the horse thief is happy, they will come to you to ask for something. Do you not give it to me? If you give it to me or not, how can you live in the future? So now, only if you all unite to fight the enemy can you have a way out.

Although there are more people than you, you have a good location. You can use geography to ambush horse thieves. Don’t you have many hunters? You can hunt, why can’t you? What’s wrong with using your way to deal with wild beasts to deal with horse thieves? As long as we have well arranged and prepared, set more traps and more mechanisms, and you are in the dark and horse thieves are in the open, what are you afraid of? Take up the hoe, stick, bow and arrow in your hands, and we will definitely defeat the horse thieves."
