The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 67 67 Sharpening the Gun in Battle

Zhou Jia walked among everyone and looked at the heads of about thirty households and said: "I will take this opportunity today to make it clear to everyone. It will take at least three or four months to escape from famine all the way to Kyoto. I don't know how long it will take in the future." No matter what difficulties we will encounter and how many robbers we will encounter, some of us may be gone before we reach Kyoto.

You'd better think about it now. It's not too late to look back. Also, I never said I would take anyone out to live a good life. Those who want to follow me out to live a good life should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. "

He Cheng was about to curse after hearing this, but the village chief looked at him and said coldly: "He Cheng, I remember you and a few of your brothers came to me and asked me to talk to Xiaoyu and bring some of your brothers with you. Yes, we are going to escape from famine, not to enjoy happiness. I think you brothers should go back as soon as possible!"

Seeing this, He Cheng stood up, patted his butt, and snorted coldly, "Just leave, what's the big deal." The four brothers of the He family left with two other relatives.

The village chief looked at the remaining 20 or so households and said, "Mr. Zhou has made it clear to everyone. We don't know what we will encounter on the way. We may not even be able to get through Qingfengling. Those who want to leave should leave now." !”

The Xu brothers and several other families all stood up, "Village Chief, Mr. Zhou, no one knows what will happen when you go out? We can't blame you, it's just that we are timid, we should go back and guard the west Mountain Village, you have a safe journey."

The village chief and Zhou Jia looked at them and told them, "We have to cross Yunjian Peak later, so be careful along the way."

"Thank you, village chief. We will be careful." The Xu brothers and those families also turned back and headed back.

Liu Changyun saw Liu Changmin walking all the way and didn't bother to ask. Thinking about the big house Liu Changmin had just repaired, he rolled his eyes and said to Mrs. Liu: "Mom, there are bandits in front of me. I don't think my elder brother can be trusted. We should still fight with those people." Let’s go back together!”

Mrs. Liu was also afraid that something might happen to her grandson on the road, so she nodded unhappily, "Oh! You have traveled so far in vain, come back!" The Liu brothers also packed up their things and followed those people.

Li Yu looked coldly at the people who had left, thinking: What he fears most when traveling is that the people he travels with will not be united, so it's okay for them to leave.

The village chief calculated in his mind that most of the families had left at this time, plus his own family left seventeen families behind. It seemed that these families had left together with peace of mind.

The village chief asked the heads of the remaining fourteen households, "Have you made up your mind? Have you decided not to go back?"

Chen Gui looked at the director and smiled and said: "Uncle, you also know that my brothers don't have any land in the village, so they just rent the land from landlord Xu's house. They can't even fill their stomachs for a year. If it weren't for Xiao Xiao, Yu sold the grain to a few of us brothers at a very low price, and we had no choice but to starve to death at home. The three of us brothers decided to follow Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou, and no one would complain if we lived or died."

"Uncle, if we don't leave, we will follow Xiaoyu." Chen Gui's two younger brothers, Chen Jin and Chen Yin, said.

"We are not afraid and will go with Xiaoyu." Several other villagers who had bought food from Li Yu's house also stood up and expressed their intention to follow Li Yu.

Butcher He also stood up and said with a hearty smile: "I also decided to go with Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou."

The village chief looked at Zhou Jia and Li Yu and said: "Mr. Zhou, Xiaoyu, my family and Chen Zhong's family plus their own thirteen families, a total of seventeen families, have decided to go with you. What happened on the way is Let’s live or die!”

Zhou Jia looked at the village chief and said, "Since everyone trusts me and Xiaoyu, we will share the joys and sorrows with everyone."

Li Yu stepped forward and said to everyone: "Mr. Zhou said that the Qingfengling in front is the territory of Black Bear Village. As long as we all work together, we can break through. Everyone must listen to my orders along the way and don't act without authorization."

Chen Yaohui, He Tutu, as well as Chen Zhong and Chen Gui, who had seen Li Yu and Ruyi's abilities last night, all responded loudly without hesitation: "Xiaoyu, don't worry, we will all obey your command." Others followed suit.

Li Yu turned to look at Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, take the two remaining bows and arrows and the machete over here."

"Okay." Zhou Jia nodded in agreement and went back to get the weapon.

Li Yu looked at everyone and said, "Uncles, there are still two bows. If any of you go hunting in the mountains, there will be two who can draw a bow and shoot arrows."

Chen Yaohui and Chen Gui walked out. Chen Yaohui looked at Li Yu with some embarrassment, "Xiaoyu, your father taught me and brother Chen Gui how to hunt and archery. We can also use your bow, but the accuracy is not good."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou will bring the bows and arrows over later, and I will teach you and Uncle Chen Gui how to practice." Li Yu turned to the village chief and said, "Grandpa, village chief, we won't be leaving today. Everyone, be well." Let’s rest for a day and then leave early tomorrow morning.”

The village chief nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll let you make your arrangements."

Zhou Jia came over with Ji Xiang and Ruyi, holding two bows and four thick-backed machetes with thin blades and shining cold light. Li Yu pointed at these weapons and said to the others: "Which uncle has good arm strength and can do it?" Come get a machete and learn a few tricks from Ji Xiang.”

Butcher He stood up and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, I'm going to learn a few tricks from Brother Jixiang, but I'm used to using the butcher's knife, so I'd better leave the machete to the other brothers!"

Chen Zhong and the other three looked at Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, let us try it."

"Okay, Jixiang, you take some uncles with you."

"Yes." Jixiang took Butcher He and Chen Zhong to the woods over there.

Li Yu handed the bow and arrow to Chen Yaohui and Chen Gui, and led them to choose a big tree. Li Yu used a dagger to carve an arrow target on the tree and draw the starting line.

Li Yu stood on the firing line and said to Chen Yaohui and Chen Gui: "Two uncles, let me shoot two arrows to show you first."

"Okay." Chen Yaohui and Chen Gui stood aside, watching Li Yu hit the bull's-eye with two consecutive arrows, and clapped their hands and praised, "Xiaoyu, your archery skills are better than your father's."

Li Yu smiled and then smiled at the two of them, "Uncles, stand on the shooting line, face the target with your left shoulder, hold the bow in your left hand, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and the weight of your body should be even. Land on your feet, tilt your body slightly forward, place the arrow on the arrow rest, and pull the bow with the force of pushing with your left shoulder and pulling with the right shoulder,..."

Chen Yaohui shot an arrow according to Li Yu's method. Although it was a little off the target, it was still much better than the average beginner. Chen Gui's accuracy was better than Chen Yaohui's and hit the target several times. Li Yu watched the two practice. After a while, they corrected their posture and left the two of them there to continue practicing.

Li Yu returned to the camp and saw that Zhou Jia had already set up the tent again with his people.

Li Yu called Li Mei's family and Li Qing, and said solemnly to several people: "Aunt, two cousins, and Ah Qing, we will pass through Qingfeng Ridge tomorrow. If you encounter bandits, you must hide quickly and remember not to Show off your strength."

Li Mei, mother and daughter, and Li Qing all nodded in agreement. Li Yu handed the machete to Liu Changmin and told Liu Changmin, "Uncle, aunt and Ah Qing, I will leave them to you."

Liu Changmin took the machete and responded solemnly: "Xiaoyu, don't worry, my uncle will protect them even if he risks his life."

After Li Yu took out the sleeve arrows and taught Li Qing how to use them, he also taught him how to bind the sleeve arrows with cowhide straps and taught Li Qing how to use them.

Li Yu said to Li Qing: "Ah Qing, you are a man from our Li family. My aunt and two cousins ​​will be left to you and your uncle to protect you. You can find a place to practice as my sister taught you."

Li Qing looked at Li Yu firmly, "Sister, don't worry! I will practice hard."

Li Mei looked at Li Qing's firm and serious look, and looked at Li Yu with relief, "Yu'er, don't worry about us. You must be careful yourself."

"Yes! Cousin, we hid when we saw that the situation was not going well, and you have to rush forward, so you must be careful." Zhao Di and Lai Di warned.

Li Yu nodded, and Li Mei pulled the two Zhaodi sisters, "Okay, you follow us out and let your cousin have a good rest and recuperate."

The village chief and other men were repairing hoes and machetes there, and everyone was preparing to pass Qingfeng Ridge smoothly tomorrow.
