No pain no gain

……

It has been more than four months since the last time I went back to the village to see the situation. Under the strict suppression of Da Zhuang, I was divided into two groups of male and female long pole teams and insisted on training every day. Nao and other means to escape the hard training, Da Zhuang hardened his heart and gave a few sticks as punishment, and increased the amount of training for three days. Da Zhuang fought first and then increased the amount of training until the two little girls didn't dare to quarrel anymore.

As a result of holding the long pole for a long time and stabbing forward forcefully, the children first had large blisters on their hands, and then the blisters were worn out... This process was repeated over and over again, until now the place where the pole is held is no longer A thick cocoon grows...

There is no need to go out to see, Da Zhuang also knows that there are many more people on the mountain. Fortunately, the most difficult winter has passed, and the mountains are starting to appear green, which also means that there are more edible things on the mountain, whether it is weeds , or various animals that began to show signs.

After eating dried vegetables and meat all winter, everyone missed the wild vegetables that they didn’t like very much before. Da Zhuang made the three little girls dress up as boys, and everyone dug some wild vegetables around the mouth of the pit. Niu'er and Er Niu'er took San Niu'er and the twins to find wild vegetables quickly, while Da Zhuang, Zhao Ziyang, Sha Zi and Er Zhuang were in charge of standing on a relatively high place around them and looking outside, and hurried back if anyone approached.

The downside of the increase in food available on the mountain is that the number of refugees on the mountain has also begun to increase. Some of the refugees found the place where Da Zhuang and the others were. After searching for wild vegetables on the ground over and over again, the refugees finally found the mouth of the pit.

"There are five people up there, three men and two women. Don't be afraid, we will guard the entrance of the cave in several groups. If not, we will retreat to the fork. They are absolutely not allowed to break into the largest cave, you understand! "Da Zhuang explained in a low voice.

Now that Da Zhuang no longer avoids the younger ones when he makes decisions or discusses something, this is Zhao Ziyang's proposal, no matter what, if the cave is attacked, at least let the twins know the danger.

"En!" Several children, including Zhao Ziyang, responded, clutching the long poles in their hands tightly.

Zhao Ziyang and Er Zhuang squatted down against the wall in the aisle of the cave about 1.7 meters away from the entrance of the cave. Da Zhuang and Shizi were behind and stood a little higher. For this, Da Zhuang trained several times. It was Fool and Er Zhuang squatting in front, but Fool insisted on staying with Da Zhuang, and Fool is not a little girl who would compromise after a few sticks. In the end, Da Zhuang had to change the formation, in order to keep the tip of the long pole At the same time, at the entrance of the cave, the length of the pole was adjusted according to the length of the individual's arm and the position of the station.

Soon the cover made of withered vines was broken, and someone carefully climbed down. The ropes and high stools at the mouth of the pit had already been taken back, and the hanging vines were also cleaned up. He poked at the mouth of the pit and looked down, then jumped down.

The bottom of the pit clearly smelled of rough steamed buns. No matter how careful Da Zhuang and the others were, there would always be a smell when cooking. The man sniffed vigorously from left to right, and walked quickly towards the cave entrance.

"What's down there?" the man who stayed above asked loudly.

Before the people below could answer, another person jumped down. Obviously, this small group of refugees did not completely trust each other.

The first person to come down has already bent down into the cave...

"Move!" Da Zhuang shouted.

The four sharpened poles pierced through, and the sound of the tips piercing into the flesh could be heard, and the person at the entrance of the cave immediately let out a scream.

"Strength!" Da Zhuang suppressed his palpitations, roared, and at the same time leaned forward with his arms.

The man who didn't know whether he was dead or alive was pushed out of the hole by the pole and fell backwards.

"receive!"

Da Zhuang stabilized his hands, staring at the hole with all his attention, his heartbeat accelerated sharply, and he had no time to think about anything else.

"What's wrong?" The second person who came down quickly approached and asked in surprise.

There were also exclamations from above the pit mouth, as if they were also asking what happened.

The second person standing at the entrance of the cave took a few steps back, shouted and ran towards the entrance of the pit, and soon there was a quarrel outside...

"Hurry up, move, move the corpse away first!" Da Zhuang said hurriedly.

If someone is a little smarter, as long as he lifts up the corpse and blocks it in front of him, the long pole will hardly work.

Er Zhuang and Zhao Ziyang rushed out reflexively, but they didn't dare to touch the corpse for a long time.

"Go and guard the entrance of the pit. If someone wants to come down, stab them directly!" Da Zhuangqiang made a calm arrangement.

Although Er Zhuang and Zhao Ziyang's hands were still trembling slightly, they quickly carried out the order. It has to be said that Da Zhuang's iron-blooded training in the past few months still played a certain role.

Da Zhuang forced himself not to look at the bloody corpse, and together with the idiot, he lifted the corpse and hid it in the cave passage.

"Yeah—" Er Zhuang yelled out of control.

Another person wanted to climb down from the mouth of the pit. Although Zhao Ziyang and Er Zhuang stabbed out, they were obviously frightened by the spray of blood, and even forgot to take back the long pole.

"Continue!" Da Zhuang stepped forward quickly, holding a bloody long pole and lashing at Zhao Ziyang and Er Zhuang without hesitation.

Er Zhuang and Zhao Ziyang shuddered all over, the pain woke them up, pulled back the long pole forcefully, stabbed it out again, one after another...

Someone outside yelled and released the body of the person blocking the mouth of the pit. Although there were only two long poles, under so many attacks, the possibility that the person was still alive was very small. I haven't died yet, under the current conditions, it is almost impossible to survive as long as I am injured...

After a long time, there was no movement outside, and Da Zhuang led the idiot to replace Zhao Ziyang and Er Zhuang.

"We are guarding, you go and dispose of the corpse!" Da Zhuang confessed softly.

The bottom of the pit was enlarged a lot by Da Zhuang and several children, and a deep pit was dug at the farthest place from the cave, where the corpses were to be disposed of.

Zhao Ziyang stood there for a moment, then walked over quickly.

"Go!" Da Zhuang kicked Er Zhuang once, and said sharply.

Er Zhuang nodded with red eyes and moved slowly.

Zhao Ziyang and Er Zhuang carried out the corpse and threw it to the bottom of the pit. They lit a few straws prepared in advance and threw them down. Soon the air began to be filled with a pungent smell.

Even the meals are eaten in turn. Da Zhuang has always arranged people to guard the pit entrance, and the people outside don't know whether they retreated in spite of the difficulties or temporarily hid...

At the beginning, including Da Zhuang himself, several half-grown boys would have nightmares at night and couldn't eat... After half a month passed, everyone began to get used to killing people.

Da Zhuang has always tried his best to avoid killing the three little girls, but as more and more refugees came here, he was negligent in the end. First, there were several people rushing down the pit, and Da Zhuang and the others only stabbed him. The two retreated to the entrance of the cave. After stabbing three or four people to death, before they had time to clean up the corpses, a small man carried the corpses in front of him and forced his way in. Da Zhuang and the four of them had to give up. He took the pole that he could no longer pull out and retracted, and retreated, and the eldest girl took the second and third girls to replace it... I don't know how long it took, and the passageway from the cave was full of blood and dirt...

In the end, Zhao Ziyang took the big knife, and the idiot rushed out holding the kitchen knife.

Before entering the cave, Da Zhuang bought another small kitchen knife. The original big one was directly used by the fool as a weapon.

There were screams outside soon. Basically, as long as the weapons are not taken away, the unarmed and unarmed refugees who have not had a good meal for many days will not be opponents of Zhao Ziyang who knows martial arts and a strong fool. Even so, unless there are only a few Da Zhuang will only allow this fighting method when he is a refugee and the long pole cannot be used...

"Okay, you must remember that this small bag must be carried with you at all times. If you get separated by then, everyone must remember Jinhu City, Lukou Town, and Liushu Village. This is where we live. We will wait for safety. I'll find a way to come back by myself..."

As the situation became more and more severe, people tried to break in almost every day. Although they had made enough long poles before, when they ran out, Da Zhuang asked Da Niuer to make some preserved food, including Dried steamed buns and rice cakes, etc., everyone carries a small bag with them, Da Zhuang also began to teach a few little ones what he knew, just in case when he fled in the future...

"...Don't take the food out in front of outsiders, and eat it secretly by yourself..." Da Zhuang explained carefully.

The little guys don't dare to provoke Da Zhuang anymore, Da Zhuang listened carefully to what he said, and answered over and over again...

"Damn it..." A person staggered towards him from a distance outside, leaving a winding trail of blood where he walked...

"Those brats must have something to eat..."

"Yes, I've noticed that they haven't come out for ten days..."

"There is food hidden in the cave, I smell the fragrance..."

"I smell it too..."

"Let's all rush over together. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to beat a few brats..."

"Yes, you don't have to go hungry after grabbing food..."

"Isn't it just a few poles, I don't believe they don't have endless time..."

A group of refugees gathered together to discuss bitterly. The eyes of the young man who was half down next to him lit up, he gritted his teeth and stood up silently.

"Hush, it seems that someone is coming!" Zhao Ziyang, who was guarding the pit entrance, said vigilantly.

Da Zhuang and the others immediately calmed down, and took their positions to guard with long poles.

Quite elf, the young man who leaned over quietly staggered while holding his wound, thinking to himself, but his feet became lighter, and he carefully reached the mouth of the pit.

Two pointed long poles were stabbed out from below, and the young man nimbly turned back and let out a muffled groan, more blood oozed from the wound below his waist.

A figure appeared at the mouth of the pit again, Zhao Ziyang and Er Zhuang stabbed it without hesitation, and when they got back, they found that they couldn't pull it out.

"Oops!" Feeling the force coming from above, Zhao Ziyang yelled, and let go of the long pole.

Er Zhuang was not so lucky, the long pole in his hand was thrown aside when he stirred it.

Zhao Ziyang stared at the mouth of the pit, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"Retreat!" Da Zhuang shouted, and quickly rushed into the cave.

At the mouth of the pit, the people above can easily hide, and use a piece of clothing to lure the people guarding the pit to be fooled. This problem does not exist at the entrance of the cave, at least you can see whether the enemy has come in or not.

In the cave, Da Zhuang and the others had just stood up, and before they even put on an attacking posture, an attack was launched from outside, and the two long poles that had just been taken away pierced in.

Da Zhuang yelled and rolled back, making room for Zhao Ziyang and Er Zhuang who were leaning back in front.

The big girl and the others quickly stepped forward and started to fight back. At this time, the hidden danger caused by the difference in the length of the poles came out, and everyone could only retreat step by step.

Da Zhuang made a gesture, Da Niuer and the others continued to attack, Zhao Ziyang, Shazi and Er Zhuang all took out their weapons.

In the narrow cave, the long pole that could not be unfolded became a restriction instead. The man threw away the long pole and walked in with a branch.

Da Zhuang and the others gritted their teeth and surrounded them, while Da Niuer and the others hid beside them, continuing to wait for an opportunity to attack with pointed poles.

"Ding……"

The big girl's long pole hit the man with a dull metallic sound.

There were more and more beads of sweat on Da Zhuang's forehead, and the man was actually wearing a close-fitting armor.

"Attack the bottom!" Da Zhuang shouted to the stunned big girl.

Immediately, the attacks of several people changed, and they all hit the next three directions.

"Okay, stop!"

The man flipped the branches nimbly, defusing the attacks one by one, and missed a few steps. Da Zhuang only felt the figure flicker, and his neck fell into a rough palm.

"Don't move, he is your leader!" Out of the corner of his eye, the man noticed that Zhao Ziyang and the idiot were approaching, his hands tightened, and Da Zhuang couldn't help moaning, and said coldly.

"Let him go, we can give you something to eat!" Zhao Ziyang looked at the man and said slowly.

"I advise you to get ready first. When I came over, I heard a large group of people said they were coming to grab food!" The man smiled and said, "Listen, it's coming!"

Zhao Ziyang's expression changed, and he looked outside the cave.

"Go and guard outside first!" Da Zhuang shouted.

Zhao Ziyang gritted his teeth and walked out.

The fool stayed stubbornly, staring at the man closely.

"Get out, do you think everyone is dead!" the man shouted, putting his hands down.

Da Zhuang held his neck and coughed a few times. Before he could say anything, he picked up a long pole and ran out quickly.

The man followed him out, and said softly, "You can't do this..."

Da Zhuang hesitated for a moment, and changed the formation according to what the man said, and the effect was significantly improved. In the end, only five or six people broke in. With the help of the man, they were solved at the bottom of the pit, and they were not close to the entrance of the cave at all. ...
