After dressing as a widow

"Pooh--"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lin Zhen jumped into the tunnel, and was covered by the unsteady pile of dry soil that was almost turning into powder, and quickly took two steps back: "Uncle, the dug out soil must be transported out quickly, otherwise people will know when they come to see it." Where is the entrance of your tunnel, it's a waste of time."

The old man with dimples on his face admired Lin Zhen very much. These days, he wandered around the village every day. If there were no strong laborers at home, only the elderly and children, he would still do half a day's work.

One brother is rougher than a man, and he talks about the tunnels in a clear way, which relieves those who were still a little bit worried about the tunnels at first.

The old man went to the house and took a piece of maltose that had melted less than half the length of two fingers and gave it to Lin Zhen: "I bought it to coax the children before, so brother Zhen will eat it."

"I do not……"

"Take it," the old man put it in his hand, "Anyway, this food won't fill your stomach, so it's worth eating."

"Thank you uncle."

The old man looked at the tunnel that had been dug out with a lot of soil: "Will this refugee army really come to our place?"

"I can't tell. It depends on how the town is doing. If the refugee army can be wiped out in one fell swoop, our villages will be fine. Those who have escaped don't know where they can escape. It's always good to be prepared." Mainly Anyuan Town is not like a prefectural city, with a high wall as a basis, but an open area. The refugee army and the people in the town will fight face to face when they come, and it takes only a blink of an eye to get into chaos.

If they suffered losses in the town, the greatest probability of the refugee army would be to plunder the village for supplies. Although Liyu Village is not close to the town, they should not gamble in case of emergency.

After coming out of this uncle’s house, Lin Zhen went to a few more houses to see how they chose the entrance of the tunnel, whether it was safe to dig below, and even asked them to make two exits and two entrances. It doesn’t matter if it’s narrower, it’s better Flexible, able to run and withdraw, and has a chance to slip away if discovered, not to be caught in a urn.

-

In the town, the chiefs of the villages arrived with militiamen. There were more than 20 villages, including seven or eight small villages, more than 20 larger ones, and forty or fifty villages like Datianzi Village.

There are more than 300 people standing together in a mixed manner.

The big guys don't know who they are, and they just give their names indiscriminately on weekdays. When they heard that they were going to fight with the refugee army, their faces turned pale.

When Gu Lin arrived in the town, he didn't stay with them. He greeted Second Brother Lin and asked him to go to the county government office to find him if he had something to do, so he rode to the county government office on horseback.

The gate of the county yamen was very different this time from the last time they came. The tall door was open, with two yamen servants guarding the door, and there were soldiers in uniform coming in and out.

Under the guarded eyes of these people, Gu Lin got off his horse and said, "Tong Bing, please, Gu Lin came to see the county magistrate."

"Gu Lin?" A soldier who was stepping on the steps to go in looked at him, "You just let the county magistrate speak up and put him under the hands of our inspector Lu?"

This person spoke with a strong taste, and he didn't pay attention to Gu Lin, a child who was airborne.

Listening to what the county magistrate said, all the way back to the town from the prefecture, I met a refugee army on the way, but who knows if he ran away when he saw the refugee army, and just passed on the embroidered pillow with a word.

He's still a scholar, and these big bastards don't like dealing with scholars the most, and it's useless to talk about them.

Gu Lin looked at him straightly, his dark eyes were a little gloomy: "If there is no second Gu Lin, then the one who was put under the hands of Inspector Lu is the next one."

"The tone is not small." Jun Han heard the meaning of the kid in front of him, and didn't feel that he was inferior.

He said: "I'm going to see the county magistrate too, come along."

The three inspectors were all summoned by the county magistrate, and each of them brought people with them. The backyard of the county government was not as deserted as last time.

The magistrate of the county thought it was great, he could sleep well with such a strong and strong soldier.

Seeing Gu Lin who came in with the army man, he greeted him: "Gu Lin is here, come, meet the three inspectors."

Gu Lin walked over to salute the three inspectors. The three inspectors were all big and taller than him. One of them had a big arm and a round waist and a powerful Kong Wu. The other two were fatter and the other was slender.

The patrol inspector is a ninth-rank military officer, and there are a fixed number of soldiers under him. They basically don't go to other places except for drills on weekdays. They rushed over after receiving the order from the county magistrate, and they also heard the county magistrate's request to bring them Gu Lin heard the news that the refugee army was about to attack Anyuan Town.

Lu Xunjian also became the recipient of this scholar.

Therefore, inspector Lu spent the longest time watching Gu Rin, and said: "Look at Gu Xiucai, the knife on his back is not light, how long have you been practicing martial arts?"

"Two years."

"..." Lu Xunjian's stout body trembled, good guy, he thought that someone who could wield such a big knife would be a good martial artist, but he had only learned it for two years.

He has been doing it for two years just in horseback riding.

But Lu Xunjian, who has a thick appearance, has a heart. The county magistrate is their superior. Since he has clearly stated that he wants to put people under his own hands, he can't refute the county magistrate's face, saying: "Then you will lead the tenth flag." It happened that the leader of the Ten Banners had injured his legs and feet a few days ago and was recuperating in the institute."

There are ten people in a banner, and there are ten leaders, and there are two banner chiefs above, in charge of 50 people each, and above that is the inspector Lu.

In the past, inspector Lu wouldn't mind bringing this person with him personally to make the county magistrate happy.

But when he was about to face the refugee army, he really couldn't concentrate on dealing with it, so Gu Lin could play by himself with a small flag.

The soldiers on the left, right, and bottom are all old men who are familiar with the road, so it won't delay the big thing if he is there.

The county magistrate looked at Lu inspector, but said nothing.

Among the three inspectors, the ability is the highest, and the one with the strictest command is the Lu inspector, who has done the most work since the drought.

The other two seemed to be doing nothing, and the county magistrate had to rely on the Lu inspector to quell the coming disaster, even though he felt in his heart that Gu Lin should be the leader of the small banner, he didn't say anything.

"Thank you for the inspection." A few adults are discussing affairs here, how can a leader among the dozens of small banners who have just taken office stay here.

After Gu Lin, the county magistrate, and Lu inspectors resigned, they went directly to the outside of the county government office and walked along the street on the left side of the county government office. The house on this side lives at this end.

As soon as Gu Lin walked in, he saw soldiers gathered in twos and threes, chatting and playing with gadgets when they had nothing to do.

Seeing his fresh face without military uniform, they all cast their gazes over, and the person closest to him reached out to stop him: "Oh, boy, this is where we are temporarily stationed, not where you should come, where did you come from?" Where are you going?"

Gu Lin: "I am the leader of the tenth small banner at the new point of the Lu inspection."

"?"

"Are you the leader of the tenth flag?" The soldier rushed up to the wall in two or three steps, and said to the people in another yard, "The tenth flag, the patrol inspector called you a baby leader!"

"Fuck your shit, our team leader will be out of bed in a few days, and the inspection will not send someone over."

Another person who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement looked at Gu Lin, and climbed up to the wall: "Really, it's on our side, come and have a look."

Hurrah, a group of soldiers in black uniforms came from the yard over there, ranging in age from forties to teenagers.

The military status is hereditary, the father dies and the son replaces them, and they have to move with the place. These soldiers have dealt with the soldiers in the army since they were young, and they are full of soldiers.

This is still the inspector Lu can suppress, like the soldiers under the other two inspectors, the sound of playing around came from afar from there.

As soon as these people came, they surrounded Gu Lin, "You are the team leader sent by the inspection, oh my god, are you weaned, little guy? Don't fuck with someone when the time comes, you are looking for father and father , what shall we do?"

"Hahahahaha, Tenth Xiaoqi, don't you guys have a child? It's okay to bring another one!" They are all brothers who gather together every day to train and play. The parents at home are old friends for decades. They all came to watch the excitement, the inner three floors and the outer three floors, the wall and yard were full of people, and some crawled fast and squatted on the roof.

The youngest who followed Tenth Xiaoqi, the tender-faced little soldier blushed, "I'm sixteen this year, and I'm small!"

"Then let's see how old he is. If he is younger than you, can he still call you brother?"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Hey boy," came out of the tenth small flag, half a head taller than Gu Lin, with a dark complexion and a dark complexion, "Let's go to the patrol and talk about it ourselves, you should leave quickly."

"I can't be the leader of the Tenth Small Banner for a few days, but it's up to you to decide whether or not to be the leader." Gu Lin glanced at the soldiers who were crowded to see the excitement, and looked at the man in front of him, "Follow me A match, if I lose, I immediately turn around and leave."

Huh.

The soldiers fell silent for a while, then clapped their hands excitedly against the wall: "Sure, this guy who hasn't even grown his feathers yet has the guts."

"Zhang Tie, come on, you and the team leader Xiaoqi are so close, you can't let someone occupy the team leader's seat!"

Zhang Tie is a member of the tenth small banner, and he is as close as a brother to the original team leader, and the team leader was injured because of him.

He looked at Gu Lin's slender figure and the broad knife that was probably just for decoration: "Okay, let's compare archery, don't say I bully you."

Zhang Tiexin thought, anyway, this kid bumped into him himself, and he didn't have much responsibility when asked by the inspector.

Hearing that he was going to compete with himself in archery, Gu Lin raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

As soon as they heard that it was about to start, the people who had to come out of their free time every day immediately volunteered to prepare targets, bows and arrows. Zhang Tie looked at the old bow and arrows in Gu Lin's hand, and said, "Our bows here Not bad, change?"

"no need."
