The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

After leaving the wine cellar, Jiang Ci hurried back.

When Yan Shu saw him coming in, he immediately stood up and closed the door.

"How about it?"

Jiang Cidao: "As we guessed, someone did deliberately spread the news to attract a large number of refugees to the mountain. At present, as many as 800 people have gathered outside, and refugees continue to come after hearing the news."

Yan Shu frowned slightly, it seemed that the situation was more serious than she had guessed.

The seventh uncle quickly sent someone to send a message, asking every household to prepare the water they would bring tomorrow in advance.

Suddenly, the villagers carried their own buckets, jugs and other containers and began to line up to fetch water.

During this period, Yan Wu and Liu Wenniang went to line up. Yan Shu, Jiang Ci, Yan Ersheng, Yan Wen, and Yan Huai were called over by their seventh uncle.

When they arrived, many people had gathered in the small courtyard.

Qi Tianyi, Chen Xiao and people from Longwei Escort Bureau were also present.

The seventh uncle called Yan Shu and Jiang Ci to his side.

"Fourth girl, I have arranged things according to your instructions. These people in front of me are those who are proficient in archery and boxing skills in several villages. How should we arrange them next?"

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci, who understood and said, "Seventh uncle, wait a moment, let's discuss it."

The seventh uncle nodded: "Okay."

Yan Shu asked Shang Jiang Ci to leave the small courtyard together, and stopped after walking some distance.

"Sister-in-law, do you have something to say?"

Yan Shu looked at him: "Uncle, I have a formation. Can you see if you can arrange it."

She picked up a wooden stick, squatted on the ground and started drawing quickly.

Jiang Ci also squatted down, a sharp light flashing in his deep eyes.

"Is this a military formation?"

Yan Shu nodded and said: "This is a wild goose formation. The troops are arranged like a formation of wild geese flying over. It can give full play to the role of the shooting arms. If we want to win this battle tonight with less, we must use what we are good at to attack what they lack." Yes, we have archers in our hands, and those refugees are more likely to fight hand-to-hand, so the tug-of-war is more beneficial to us."

Fortunately, she had been with her grandfather since she was a child, and she knew a little about troop formations, but she was limited to talking about them on paper. Jiang Ci had been familiar with the art of war since she was a child, so he was naturally much better than her in the field of troop formations.

She drew the wild goose formation and left it to Jiang Ci to figure out how to arrange the troops.

Jiang Ci glanced deeply at Yan Shu with his cold eyes: "Sister-in-law is actually proficient in arranging troops?"

"I don't really understand. I just happened to see a few formations in a military book. I felt that this wild goose formation is very suitable for long-range attrition warfare, so I took it out to ask for your opinion."

There was joy in Jiang Ci's eyes: "If this formation is slightly modified, it might be twice the result with half the effort. My sister-in-law asked the seventh uncle to prepare so much hay, but she wants to use the smoke to poison her?"

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci in surprise: "You know?"

"I didn't understand why you prepared so many grass scrolls at first, but I understood after seeing this wild goose formation." Jiang Ci raised his eyes and glanced at the sky.

"The wind blows from the northwest at night, and the entrance to Panfeng Village is in the southwest. The placement of these grass rolls must be precise."

Yan Shu smiled and patted his shoulder: "You are so smart, this kind of thing will not be difficult for you."

Jiang Ci curled his lips and smiled: "Okay, leave the rest to me."

"It's getting late, so we need to make arrangements early."

After squatting on the ground for too long, Yan Shu's vision went dark when she stood up, and she felt dizzy. She subconsciously grabbed forward with her hand.

A warm hand held her hand in time, and a concerned voice sounded in her ears: "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Shu shook his head: "I feel dizzy after squatting for too long. I'm fine now. Let's go."

Jiang Ci was a little worried and held her hand tightly: "I'll help you go back."

Yan Shu's cheeks felt slightly hot as he held his hand.

Thinking of what Cao Juan said this morning, she also seriously reflected on herself.

During this period, she was anxious to save her life, and she did get a little close to the boss, which caused misunderstandings among outsiders.

Jiang Ci's status destined him to marry a daughter from a noble family in the future. If he, his widowed sister-in-law, had a bad reputation, it would indeed damage his reputation.

Moreover, she would have to rely on this brother-in-law in the future, not wanting to leave a bad impression on his future wife.

Thinking of this, Yan Shu immediately withdrew his hand.

"I can walk by myself, uncle, don't worry about me."

Jiang Ci's hand was empty, his fingers slowly rolled up, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He is good at guessing people's hearts, and Yan Shu's reaction immediately aroused his suspicion.

She is avoiding him?

The two of them returned to the small courtyard in silence.

Jiang Ci began to arrange the formation according to the wild goose formation drawn by Yan Shu.

Yan Shu took the opportunity to sneak to two wells and found several women sneaking around the wells. She hurriedly hid in a corner.

The women glanced around, as if checking to see if anyone was nearby.

One of the women said: "Don't worry, they have all gone to the west hall entrance now, no one is guarding here."

"Okay, let's go get the bucket quickly."

Several people left in a hurry while talking.

After Yan Shu watched them leave, he chuckled lightly.

"It's true that someone gave me a pillow as soon as I fell asleep."

She took out two large packets of medicinal powder from the space and neatly sprinkled the powder into the two wells.

on the training ground

The refugees stayed where they were, suffering from hunger along the way. Some old people could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, groaning.

Some young women knelt in front of brothers Yan Changman and Yan Changming.

"Please give me a drink of water. We old people really can't hold it anymore. If we don't drink water, we will really die of thirst. And these poor children, they are still so young, you can't bear to watch them alive." Are you going to die of thirst or starve to death?”

"Please be kind and give me a drink of water."

A six or seven-year-old girl wandered out from the crowd. She was so thin that her cheeks were sunken, and a pair of sunken eyes on her big head stared straight at Yan Changming.

"Brother, my brother is only one year old. He has been crying a few days ago because he has no water to drink, but today he has become very good and neither cries nor makes trouble. My mother said that my brother is dying, and I don't want him to die. , woo woo..."

Yan Changming frowned, feeling a little confused.

Yan Changman was the first to speak: "Second brother, if that doesn't work, just bring them two buckets of water. They are all old people and children. They can't make any trouble."

Yan Changming shook his head: "The seventh uncle needs to know about this matter. The seventh uncle has ordered that no one can step into the village tonight."

"Brother Changman, Brother Changming." Yan Yao walked over.

When Yan Changman saw Yan Yao, his eyes instantly brightened.

"Sister Yao'er, why are you coming here so late?"

Yan Yao held the basket in her hand.

"I baked some pancakes and brought them to you."

"Food is so expensive now, why do you still make food for us?" Yan Chang looked distressed.

Yan Yao smiled and said: "It's not my family's food, it's the public food that the seventh uncle ordered for you to prepare and deliver."

The food in the village was distributed to the villagers on the same day. Each family received more than ten kilograms of coarse grains, and more than 100 kilograms of black rice and noodles were left, which were used to feed the night watchers in the past few days.
