Chapter 17: Weaknesses

Candles are lit to illuminate half of the ancestral hall, and the tablet placed in front of the ancestral hall reflects the firelight, adding a bit of dazzling brilliance to the most sacred place in the village. The footsteps of everyone coming and going were very light, as if they were afraid of disturbing the people resting behind these tablets, and they seemed to be afraid of disturbing Li Xinchen, who was lying under the lamp without saying a word.

"Brother, let's eat something." The crisp voice sounded, Li Li'er walked to Li Xinchen's side lightly, opened the food box, and a fragrance wafted out, "Eat more, and then I will have more strength to compete with those bandits." ”

For his sister's craft, Li Xinchen has enjoyed it in the past few days, and he is not polite at this time, he reached out and grabbed a steamed bun and took a bite of it, and Li Li'er carefully tore open half of the steamed chicken, and tore the chicken into one by one and sent it to Li Xinchen's mouth, Li Xinchen bit casually, but his eyes did not leave the map in front of him at all, if it wasn't for Li Li'er reminding him, I'm afraid that the bowl of porridge sent to his mouth would also be bitten down by Li Xinchen.

"Sister Li'er, you are so good to your brother, you will open a small stove for him!" Seinfeld next to him couldn't help but quip, and reached out to push Zheng Qing, who had been shrinking back, "But your future husband is here, why don't you even look at it?" ”

"My brother took you to kill the bandits, and you have to think about how to defeat the bandits, of course he is the hardest, which of you dare to say a 'no'?" Li Li'er suddenly said with a full of anger, in her heart, in addition to her own father, of course, her brother is the most important, so in the face of the ridicule of Seinfeld and others, she did not hesitate to refute.

Seinfeld suddenly pinched his throat and said with a smile: "Sister, you are very good, but you want to give your brother food, why can't you look at your brother in your spare time?" ”

"Get out!" This time it was Zheng Qing's turn to stand it, he was originally an honest and honest person, and he was a little shy just now, but now Seinfeld had already laughed at his door, so naturally he didn't continue to let go of this kid's reasoning, and pushed Seinfeld hard.

"If you want something delicious, let your sister bring it over!" Li Li'er snorted, carefully packed the lunch box, and left quickly, of course, it would be more appropriate to run away from the wilderness, she was teased by this group of young people just now, even if she grew up with them since she was a child, she was very familiar with them, and she was very shy at this time.

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Li Xinchen knocked on the table, and everyone, including Seinfeld and Zheng Qing, was subconsciously silent, and even a few guys turned their heads to look at Seinfeld with pity. You just molested Li Xinchen's sister and brother-in-law, and now Brother Chen really doesn't want to, you just wait to be beaten.

Seinfeld also showed a look of panic, while Li Xinchen pointed to the map and said in a deep voice, "Come and have a look." ”

He didn't intervene just now, mainly to let these young people relax, after all, they were all the first time to go into battle to kill the enemy, it was impossible not to be nervous, Li Xinchen even keenly saw that the hands and feet of a few guys were trembling, just holding on. So he gave them this opportunity to make them laugh. They all grew up together with bare butts, these few words are not teasing, and they can make everyone laugh, so naturally why not.

What's more, everyone is cordial to his sister-in-law, which is naturally a recognition of Li Xinchen's leadership. But everything has a degree, Li Xinchen didn't want to take a group of laughing and weak guys to the battlefield, so he stood up to stop them at this time, and at the same time let these guys turn their minds back.

Hearing the seriousness in Li Xinchen's words, these young people didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly leaned forward. With the help of Seinfeld, who was eager to atone for his sins, Li Xinchen hung the map on the wall, and then stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice with a few dots marked in red on the map: "According to the confessions of the two bandits, this is the place where the bandits gathered. ”

"How many?" Zheng Qingyan concisely asked the questions that everyone was most concerned about. The young men on the mountain roads in this area are all Qing'er, so the most important thing is how many bandits there are.

Li Xinchen slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "More than one hundred and twenty people." ”

"Shhh The whole hall was filled with gasps, minus the people in charge of patrolling and guarding, the number of young people in the village who could attack was twenty-five, and the hundred and twenty people were five times as many. Even if it is defending the cottage here in the village, everyone does not have much confidence, let alone attacking the bandits who are five times their size?

"And these 120 people do not include the scattered men stationed on the rest of the hillside, which means that we have about 150 enemies in the dark." Li Xinchen said lightly, his eyes swept over everyone, although the expressions of each young man were different, but everyone subconsciously puffed up their chests when Li Xinchen looked at them.

No matter what kind of thoughts he had in his heart, he couldn't admit it when Li Xinchen looked at it. And Li Xinchen slowly retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Scared? ”

"How is that possible!" Zheng Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chen, you say, should we do it?" ”

"Then so-and-so has to ask you if you dare." Li Xinchen's voice was still very calm, as if they were not discussing an attack on an enemy five times their size in the dark, but just going out for a walk.

"Dare!" Zheng Qing and Seinfeld roared in a low voice at the same time. And the young people around him also responded.

"I said before that I wanted to do it, more than 150 people pounced, it is not so easy for us to defend this village, it is better to kill their prestige!" Li Qiu also said sharply, this young man, who has always been a little sleek, rarely speaks sonorously, and he doesn't know whether he knows that he has no other choice, or because Li Xinchen's slap made him completely sober.

Li Xinchen slammed his fist on the table, and his voice raised slightly: "Then let's do it!" ”

Before the words fell, he turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed at the map: "Although there are many of them, they are not without weaknesses, and the biggest weakness is that they are not familiar with the terrain here. So they sent a lot of people to explore everywhere, so that they could find out the situation around them. Although we have caught two people, we don't know if there are more people hiding in the rest of the place, so there is not much time left for us, and there is only this one chance, and it is estimated that they will do it during the day tomorrow. ”

Zheng Qing and the others all nodded, the bandits paid attention to the rapid attack and surprise after finding out, and they used it to inquire about the situation in a day, which was already very face-saving to this village.

"They are not familiar with the terrain, which means that they dare not disperse easily in the dark," Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and pointed a few points on the map, "Relatively, this also means that we can constantly harass and provoke them!" ”
