Chapter 49 49 Opening the Ancestral Hall Again
Every family scrambled to save their houses. The north wind outside blew in like a knife, blowing through the whole person from top to bottom.
Tonight will be difficult for every family.
The hail continued all night, and it turned into large snowflakes at dawn.
No one had the time to think about why hail fell in winter. They all looked at the smashed yard with despair.
"It's over, it's all over."
"The windows were smashed, and the chickens and ducks were killed!"
"The front feet were not taken away by the wolf, but the back feet were hit by the hail. He's dead?"
"The house is half collapsed, where are we going to sleep at night?"
"This is going to kill the whole family!"
Most of the villages are made of mud houses, and those in poor condition are even piled with thatch. How can they withstand such heavy hail falling one after another?
Half of the houses in Shenjia Village collapsed overnight!
Better families can still live in a crowded house, but some villagers have nowhere to hide.
My mentality is broken!
The door to Uncle Liu's house was blocked again, and Shen Manchou's hair turned white.
"Otherwise, if I ask people to go up the mountain to cut down the trees, I have to build the house first, right?"
"That's the only way it can be."
The sixth uncle sighed deeply, "When you open an ancestral hall, all the people who don't have a place to live can go in. It can only hold up for a while!"
They are all members of the Shen family. How could he, as the head of the clan, ignore death?
“It’s all up to you.”
"Be careful when going up the mountain. The beast may be hungry again."
This hailstorm not only destroyed human homes, but also made the beasts on the mountain uncomfortable.
Shen Mantun's heart suddenly tightened and he became distracted.
The Shen Family Ancestral Hall was opened again that afternoon, but this time it was not for a meeting, but to give the Shen family a safe place!
“Those who cannot live in their homes must go to the ancestral hall!”
Li Zheng gave the order and everyone took action.
Especially the men of the three patrol teams, after several days of working together, they have a perfect understanding, and it is clear who has the strength to do what to do.
The Shen Ancestral Hall is a courtyard covering an area of several hundred square meters. There is a gate in front. The east and west chambers are used to place the relics of the Shen family’s ancestors. The north room is dedicated to hundreds of Shen family ancestors. Spiritual position.
After being tidied up like this, it can accommodate many villagers.
The windows of the ancestral hall were reinforced twice in just one day. The interior was tidied up, beds and quilts were laid out in some places, and fires were lit in other places.
And Shen Manyun personally led people into the mountain.
"Be careful today. You are carrying all the beasts with you. If you encounter a wild beast, don't show mercy. Kill it if it's necessary!"
If you don't kill it today, I'm afraid you will become the leader of the village in the future. nightmare.
The men nodded in agreement, their young faces showing determination.
In comparison, they had a bit more chill that they had never experienced before.
A group of people here went up the mountain to cut down trees and build their homes. Cheng Xi, who was cleaning up the yard in the Shen family courtyard, heard the alarm sound in the space.
She moved her right hand, and the alarm on the power grid suddenly appeared in her hand.
The red light flashed and made a "buzzing" vibration sound, which was not abrupt among the cries of a group of chickens and ducks.
"Xingqi, come into the house."
"Huh?"
"Enter the house and don't go out."
Cheng Xi had originally laid out a slender electrical grid outside the north house. It was not open on weekdays because of frequent movement, but he did not expect it to be used today.
She pulled her sister-in-law into the north room and took out a black electric baton from her room.
"This is a weapon. If someone attacks you, press this button. Remember?"
"Remember, remember." This was the first time Shen Xingqi saw her sister-in-law act like this. Seriously, he was stunned for a moment and decisively obeyed, then took the dark, heavy stick with both hands.
I don’t know what material it is made of, but it is so heavy.
"Sister-in-law, has something happened?"
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Just stay in the house and don't go out."
"Okay, I'll be good. ”
Shen Xingqi saw Cheng Xi's strength and also had a profound understanding of herself. She could only hold the stick in her hand and look out through the window.
Cheng Xi left the north house and went directly around the yard to the back, where he saw a group of people coming down from the back hill.
They are slowly approaching the Shen family courtyard.
"Brother, is this the Shen Village that Huang Mazi mentioned?"
"It seems that the houses are a little better than those in the previous villages, but there is no other difference!"
"Then the boy deceived us and said there are experts here? I think it's nothing more than that!"
"That is, how can there be experts in the village? No one can be our eldest brother's opponent."
< br>"Brother, I'm watching This family’s yard is quite big, and there are roosters crowing. Let’s go in and have a look.”
Seven or eight people wearing gray animal skins squatted behind a pile of snow, with sinister looks in their eyes. , worse than the few people Cheng Xi met last time.
They are real ruthless people!
With just one glance, Cheng Xi could tell the difference between this group of people and the last five.
If we say that Brother Huang and the others are hooligans in the village, and they died because of the lack of food at home due to the snowstorm, then these people wearing animal skins in front of them look more like they have been living a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife all year round. robber!
The dressing itself is a breakthrough, not to mention their fierce eyes.
Cheng Xi's thin body was hidden behind a snowdrift, her brows furrowed fiercely.
Jute seeds?
Could it be that it was Brother Huang from last time?
That bastard hasn't finished playing yet, and he has attracted the robbers.
Even though his limbs were disabled and he was restless, Uncle Six still struck too lightly
“Brother, what do you think?”
“What do you think? Of course I do it! ”
The man called Big Brother was so big and thick that not even a snowdrift nearly two meters high could stop him. In fact, he had no intention of hiding and jumped out the next moment.
"It's just a small village, but it's still a master?"
The man waved the iron knife in his hand, "I'll cut it without fail!"
"That's right. , who can be as powerful as my elder brother? Isn’t this a joke?”
“Shut up! Go in and get something and have a good meal!”
The man took a few steps forward, and Cheng Xi saw two scars on his face at a glance, probably because he had not received emergency treatment for too long, and they looked extremely hideous.
“Tsk~”
Both have scars on their faces, so why is there such a big difference?
Cheng Xi took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and watched quietly as several people slowly approached the back of the courtyard.
The finely arranged iron wires on the outer layer of the yard did not attract any of them's attention.
Scarface glanced at the wall casually, just let out a sigh and didn't pay much attention. He took a step forward with his right foot and stepped on the power grid without noticing.
"Zi——"
When the power grid is attacked, it emits current and at the same time makes a dull buzzing sound.
“Hiss!”
Scarface felt numb all over, something entered his body on his right foot, and his whole body began to sway on the spot.
