On the turret of Yang's Wubao, the kind-hearted Carpenter Li was holding a wooden spear and trembling with fear.
Although he usually comes into contact with bladed things like axes and planes, in fact Carpenter Li has never even killed a chicken. One was due to fainting from blood, and the other was unable to hear the cries before death, but the most important reason was because he had heard about the consequences of killing people.
Once upon a time, Carpenter Li heard a passing monk say that killing is the most vicious and cruel act and the most serious sin. People who commit such evil deeds will be entangled in resentment at the least, and their halls will be darkened, and everything will go wrong. In the worst case, they will even lose their reason and become a bloodthirsty maniac who only knows how to kill and take lives.
Of course, if the monk just said it casually, Carpenter Li would not take it seriously.
But something like this really happened in Yangjiabao.
That was the time when the previous generation of the Yang family took charge of Yangjiabao, but at that time Yangjiabao was still called Yangjiacun. The Yangjiacun that did not have Wubao at that time was also robbed by barbarians. They faced horses and wielded swords. The people in Yangjia Village had almost no ability to resist.
It was at this critical moment that the previous head of the Yang family summoned the ancestral sword and killed hundreds of barbarians by himself.
Yangjiabao won a great victory, which was originally a good thing.
But the problem lies in this great victory.
After killing hundreds of Hu Qi in a row, the previous head of the Yang family had already entered the body with evil energy, his body was stained with blood, and his eyes were scarlet.
Seven or eight Yang family disciples wanted to go to greet him, but they were all killed on the spot by the two-handed sword!
Fortunately, at the last moment, the previous head of the Yang family finally managed to regain his sense and committed suicide on the spot with a knife, thus saving the Yang family village from the catastrophe of being massacred.
But for Carpenter Li, who was just a young man back then, he would remember the bloody scene with corpses everywhere for the rest of his life.
Later, the sword was enshrined in the ancestral hall by the Yang family and was never used again. The young man at that time also learned the craft and became the current Carpenter Li. He is philanthropic and kind to others. He is also willing to help young people who are willing to work on weekdays. One is because he sees his youthful self in these young men, and the other is because he feels that as long as he does good deeds and accumulates good deeds, he will be able to avoid unnecessary hardships. For those weapons disasters.
But now, those barbarian cavalry are still here.
It should be fine, right? Carpenter Li thought, after all, unlike back then, Yangjia Village already had its own Wubao. Now everyone is hiding in the Wubao, just like in recent years. The barbarian light cavalry armed only with short bows and scimitars cannot break the Wubao, so they have no choice but to leave.
As for the belongings outside Wubao and the grain in the fields outside that have not yet been harvested... there is no time to worry about these at a critical moment.
Being able to survive is already the best outcome. In troubled times, how dare you ask for more.
"So, it should be fine, right?"
Seeing the barbarians who broke into the village in the distance rushing towards Wubao, Carpenter Li couldn't help feeling uneasy.
There should be no problem. The high wall of Wubao is strong enough that barbarians who don't even have ladders can't climb up or break through it. Even if there are barbarians who can get up by stacking ladders, they will be poked down by the young men stationed on the wall with spears. As for bow shooting, the young men stationed at the top of the wall could huddle behind the low wall to avoid the arrows without being hurt at all.
As for breaking through the gate of Wubao... this is even more impossible.
The gate of Wubao was built by Carpenter Li himself, using high-quality hardwood, and the board was one foot thick. Although these two overly heavy doors have always been criticized by the Yang family's descendants who are responsible for opening and closing the doors, whenever they face the barbarian Qingqi, these two doors with generally thick walls are still locked with door bolts. It can give everyone in Wubao a sense of security.
Sometimes Carpenter Li also wonders whether it is because he has been doing good deeds that he was able to find those eighteen high-quality woods near Yangjiapu. And his careful study of craftsmanship has made these ten trees even more attractive. The eight big trees turned into a solid barrier to defend Wubao.
"So, it must be okay, right?"
Thinking like this, Carpenter Li stuck his head out of the low wall and took a brief look at the Hu Qi who were getting closer and closer.
"It must be okay... right?"
Carpenter Li's eyes froze.
In his sight, in the approaching Hu cavalry team, a tall and round-armed Hu man in armor stood up and dismounted.
But in the hands of the armored Hu man, he was holding a two-handed axe.
Is it really useful to face this thick wall-like door with just a big ax?
"Yes! Absolutely!"
At this moment, Carpenter Li's back was completely wet with cold sweat.
Just because he had already seen the dried blood on the heavy axe.
And there was a faint scarlet color in the eyes of the armored barbarian!
"Quick! Rolling wood and rocks! Quick!"
Almost instinctively, Carpenter Li shouted loudly on the spot.
"Smash him! Throw him! Don't let him get close to the Wubao gate! Hurry!"
"……ah?"
Hearing Carpenter Li's sudden reaction, many young men on the wall were still confused.
Fortunately, some young and strong men have also noticed the inhuman and terrifying aura exuded by the armored Hu man who is approaching the gate of Wubao. Therefore, these young and strong men did not wait for the hurried Carpenter Li to rush over. The heavy logs that had been prepared had also been thrown down from the high wall.
These things were originally prepared to clean up Hu Qi's ladder, but now they are just used to hit one person, which seems a bit wasteful.
But immediately, these young men realized that not only was this not a waste, but it was even insufficient.
In other words, it's too far off.
"drink!"
The armored barbarian shouted loudly, and the heavy ax he swung broke the heavy log in half.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy ax kept moving and hit the heavy Wubao gate hard!
"Boom!"
The dull sound was deafening, almost making the young men on the wall deaf on the spot.
And beneath their feet, the ground was shaking.
"Varied……"
Looking at the two broken doors that had flown into the fort, and the armored Hu man carrying a big ax who was leading the team to rush into the fort, Carpenter Li on the turret opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word. Can't tell.
It was at this time that the armored Hu man raised his head and met Li Carpenter's gaze.
With just one glance, Carpenter Li was so frightened that his knees weakened and he could no longer stand.
"The evil spirit enters the body..."
At this moment, Carpenter Li seemed to have returned to his youth, back to the terrifying mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
The inhuman existence appeared in front of him again.
"monster!"
