Every household 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 a difficult time for everyone.
The hail continued all night and turned into large snowflakes at dawn.
No one had the time to think about why hail fell in winter, and everyone 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 crushed to death by hailstones?"
"Half of the house collapsed, where are we going to sleep at night?"
"This is going to cost the life of 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-off people can still live in a crowded house after packing it up, but some villagers have nowhere to hide.
My mentality is broken!
The door to Uncle Liu's house was blocked again, and Shen Manchun's hair turned white.
"How about I have someone go up the mountain to cut down the trees? I have to build the house first, right?"
"It can only be the."
Uncle Liu sighed deeply, "When we open the 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 family, ignore death?
"It's all up to you."
"Be careful when going up the mountain. This beast may be hungry again."
This hailstorm not only destroyed human homes, but also made the beasts on the mountain uncomfortable.
Shen Manyun's heart suddenly tightened and he became a little distracted.
That afternoon, the Shen Family Ancestral Hall was opened again, but this time it was not for a meeting, but to give everyone in 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.
Shen's 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 Shen's ancestors, and the north room is dedicated to the spiritual tablets of hundreds of Shen's ancestors.
After being tidied up like this, it can accommodate many villagers.
The windows of the ancestral hall were reinforced twice in just one day, and the interior was neatly tidied. 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 all with me. If you encounter a beast, don't be merciful. Kill it if you must!"
If he is not killed today, he may become a nightmare for the village in the future.
The men nodded in agreement, their young faces showing determination.
In comparison, there was a bit more chill in them that they had never seen 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 in."
"ah?"
"Go inside 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."
It was the first time that Shen Xingqi saw her sister-in-law so serious. She was stunned for a moment and decisively obeyed. She took the black and heavy stick with both hands.
I don’t know what kind of 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 and don't cause any trouble."
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 were slowly approaching the Shen family courtyard.
"Brother, is this the Shenjia 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 don't think that's the case!"
"That's right, how can anyone in this village be a master? No one can be our eldest brother's opponent."
"Brother, I see that 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, their eyes showing a sinister look, even more sinister than the last few people Cheng Xi had seen.
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 Brother Huang and the others were ruffians in the village, who lost their lives due to the lack of food in their home during the snowstorm, then these people wearing animal skins in front of them are more like bandits who have been licking blood from their swords all year round!
The dress 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 has attracted the robbers.
Even though his limbs were disabled and he couldn't rest, Uncle Six still acted too lightly...
"Brother, what do you think?"
"Idea? Of course I do it!"
The man called Big Brother was tall and thick, and even a snowdrift nearly two meters high could not 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 and said, "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 quickly, get something and go back to have a good meal!"
The man took a few steps forward, and Cheng Xi saw two scars on his face at a glance. It was probably because he had not received emergency treatment for too long, and he looked extremely hideous.
"Tsk~"
They all 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 their 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——"
The power grid emitted an electric current when attacked, but also made 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.
