Chapter 71 The evil thief is coming!
When Xiao Changcheng and his team arrived at the monk village, the wheat ears in his hand had lost their initial golden glow.

Although it's not completely dead, it looks like it will take a long time to recover.

But even so, the entire team harvested a lot of wheat, and even the horse-drawn carriage provided by Qian Chen was almost full. People had to tie the wheat up with ropes and carry it on their backs.

Under normal circumstances, people would definitely refuse the job of carrying heavy objects, but in Xuzhou, carrying wheat is like carrying gold. Not to mention young people with physical strength, even old men who can still walk are planning to join in and carry a bag.

When we arrived at the village, before entering, we could see a layer of faint golden light covering the outside of the village, which formed a cover and separated the inside and the outside.

Outside the cover, the soil on the ground is yellow and dry. Once you get inside the cover, you will find that the soil has turned black and wet.

When an old farmer saw the black soil, he knelt down immediately, wishing he could hug the soil and kiss it.

This is obviously a good land that can produce crops!
The reason why Xuzhou was desolate, apart from the locust plague at the beginning, was this soil disaster.

The vitality of the entire earth seemed to have been swallowed up by an invisible giant. Seeds that fell into the soil could not germinate, and it was impossible to dig them out again.

If crops cannot be grown, how can Xuzhou not become barren?

Xiao Changcheng had just carefully put the wheat away when he saw a bald head appearing not far away.

"Hey! Brother Xiao, you're here!"

"Master Kindness!"

Xiao Changcheng took two steps at a time and walked to the front of the monk. At this moment, he could no longer see any shadow of the monk. His body was solid, like a real person.

Many villagers also walked out behind him, but these villagers had not yet condensed into a physical body. They looked like phantoms with gold edges.

Although it looks like a ghost, it makes people feel safe when they get close to it.

The refugees who came over were amazed at the scene in the village, and they bowed respectfully to the monk and the spirit behind him.

"Come in, come in! Our village is waiting for you to come! First, each of you should find a house to live in. Tomorrow, I will show you the land and we will plant the seeds. If the weather is good, we won't need the Taoist priest's help."

The monk invited everyone to enter the village, and a large number of refugees also headed towards the village entrance.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw two generals guarding on both sides, one holding a halberd and the other holding a sledgehammer, looking majestic and impressive.

The young people among the refugees stared with their eyes wide open, the elderly also had their eyes wide open, and the children who were not even as tall as the adults' legs raised their heads high but still could not see the faces of the two generals.

"Mom, what's this?"

"Heavenly soldiers! Heavenly soldiers!"

After hearing this, the monk said happily:
"These are the two generals under the Taoist priest. They can help us protect the village. You can stay here without worry. If any thieves or criminals want to come, the two generals will kill them."

The children circled around General Golden Bean, but General Golden Bean didn't react at all, neither sad nor happy.

Caiyi was leaning against the side and distributing porridge. Suddenly, little Caiyi got confused and put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran to General Jindou.

He looked up at the general.

The general finally took action and looked down at Xiao Caiyi:
"Junior sister, what's the matter?"

Little Caiyi said a lot of things in a babble that even Caiyi herself couldn't understand. But after she finished speaking, General Jindou hesitated for a few seconds, then showed a stiff smile on his face. He squatted down, stretched out his fingers and teased the children around him.

The children were afraid at first, but then they found that General Golden Bean seemed very kind, so they went over and touched his index finger with their own.

Little Caiyi ran back with a smile to ask for praise, and Caiyi was a little speechless.

Why do I feel like the beans I sow are smarter than I am?
There are also generals who call Xiaodou Junior Sister...

Is he calling himself or just Xiaodou?
Caiyi felt that her brain was a little confused.

The refugees were walking slowly towards the village, when suddenly a young man ran over from the last row with an anxious look on his face.

He hurried over to Xiao Changcheng and Caiyi, leaning his hands on his knees, breathing heavily:

"There's a thief outside! There's a thief outside!"

"Thieves? What kind of thieves?" Xiao Changcheng frowned tightly, and a "川" was formed on his forehead with clear ravines.

If he was a bandit on the road, he could not be called a thief at this juncture.

On the way to the village, the team did encounter a group of bandits, but those bandits were all pale and thin, and they couldn't even hold the axes steadily.

When he saw wheat growing all over the ground behind him, he knelt down and cried, howling there for most of the day. Finally, he followed the team. In the blink of an eye, he turned from a ghost into a human.

Can such a person be considered a thief?

"There are about 70 or 80 people outside the village. Some are pulling carts, some are carrying food, but they are all equipped with swords and wearing armor. The leader is riding a big iron horse. There are about 20 of them! It's scary!"

Listening to the description of the young man in front of him, Xiao Changcheng couldn't help but gasp.

Coming so fast! ?

Caiyi also relayed to Xiao Changcheng what Zuo Chen had said to her before he left. Xiao Changcheng originally thought that since the Taoist priest had been gone for seven days, it was impossible for King Kang to react so quickly.

After all, judging from the current feeling, King Kang seems to only care about his own food and drink, and doesn't care about other situations happening in Xuzhou at all. After all, he can still survive the seven days.

Turns out that wasn't the case at all.

King Kang's reaction was faster than they had imagined. The thieves outside were actually his soldiers!

Seeing that many refugees had not yet had time to enter the village, Xiao Changcheng became a little panicked.

If the Iron Horse Cavalry rushed towards the refugees at the rear, most of them would probably die!

He originally wanted to rush to the end of the team to help, but when he looked at the axe in his hand, he realized that he didn't have the ability to do so now, so he could only look to Caiyi and General Jindou for help.

Caiyi was distributing porridge at the side, and was listening with her ears perked up.

Hearing the cavalry coming, her heart trembled.

She remembered that she had seen cavalry trampling horses when she was very young. She was too young at the time and could hardly remember anything. The only thing she could remember was that a strong man in armor was knocked to the ground by the cavalry and was trampled into a pulp under the horse's hooves!
Deal with those people yourself?
She shuddered at the thought.

But he thought of Zuo Chen again, and the Taoist priest's trusting look, so he gritted his teeth and turned to look at General Jindou:
"General, there are enemies outside, come with me to protect the people!"

"good."

General Jindou spoke in a muffled voice and took a step forward. It seemed that neither of them could run at a fast pace. A pair of large iron boots stepped on the ground, pressing down and leaving a deep mark.

The speed is not too slow, but it is definitely not fast.

Caiyi put down the rice spoon and walked in front. She felt that she should pick up some handy weapon, so she looked around for a long time and finally chose a pitchfork.

He rushed forward with great momentum, but before he reached the end of the team, he suddenly heard a burst of crying and shouting.

Caiyi had the best eyesight and immediately saw the mighty army of cavalrymen heading towards the refugees at the rear of the team.

Those walking at the end were all weak, including the elderly and children. Of course, there were a few strong men protecting them, but they only had axes in their hands. How could they stop these twenty or so horsemen?
If they charge forward like this, these refugees will surely die!

Seeing the layers of dust under the feet of the fully armored horses, Caiyi was panicked at first, but as luck would have it, she saw a skinny mother holding her equally frail daughter at the end of the team, and she was about to be hit.

Caiyi's eyes widened and a fire ignited in her heart.

A rainy night from long, long ago seemed to emerge in her mind.

The shadow of this little girl seemed to overlap with her past self.

She opened her mouth slightly, and sparks came out from the corners of her mouth!

"How dare you, Shuzi!"
