Chapter 881 Be prepared
Sun Chengkun looked at his father's wrinkled face, his expression sorrowful and extremely distressed.
It's all because these younger generations are incompetent!
That's why his father, at his age, still has to worry about them.
Lu Qingqing didn't bother to share her troubles with them and directly expressed her thoughts.
"We expect more refugees to arrive later, so we need to prepare our defenses early."
However, there are now fewer than 100 people in the village.
If they encounter a large number of refugees, it will be difficult to resist them.
I want Bai Song and the others from the front street to move into the village together, so that both sides can look after each other.
Fifth Uncle, what do you think?
Uncle Wu agreed almost without hesitation.
"Alright, Brother Lu, you are acquainted with Bai Song and the others."
"I'll need your help to mediate this matter."
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Qingqing readily accepted.
After discussing with him about the empty houses in the village and asking which ones were habitable, he turned and left.
Outside, Qin Lang was waiting on the carriage shaft. Seeing her come out, he asked:
"Where should we go, to Baisong's place, or home?"
"Go to Baisong's place!"
Before he finished speaking, he straddled the carriage shaft, and the carriage sped away.
Sun Chengkun still had some worries about his fifth uncle's house.
"Dad, should we just let those soldiers move into the village?"
They're no saints, are we going to let wolves into our house?
Uncle Wu looked at the wrinkles on his son's face and couldn't help but sigh.
My son is good in every way, except that he is too cautious.
They can handle minor issues fairly well.
When faced with important matters, they always hesitate and look back.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't still be involved in village affairs at his current age.
Fearing that he wouldn't work diligently if things weren't explained clearly, I had no choice but to break things down and explain.
“Cheng Kun, you were listening in when Bai Song came to our house before.”
Although he spoke subtly, his meaning was very clear.
Now, only a few dozen people remain in the village, and they are all too hungry to have any strength left.
If he really wanted to attack our village, he could take it down in less than two hours.
That's right, isn't it?
Seeing his son nod, he continued:
"Brother Lu was too polite just now, saying that the two sides should look out for each other."
Actually, we need to rely on the white pine tree to survive.
It was only because Bai Song and Brother Lu were on good terms that they didn't make any demands.
Alright, now go and inform each household to send one person here to discuss this matter!
Sun Chengkun hurriedly agreed and quickly went out the door.
On the other side, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang headed straight for the front street.
When they arrived, they found that soldiers had already been stationed at the intersection of the main street.
After greeting the soldiers on duty, the two continued driving inside.
Before even getting close to the courtyard, three horse-drawn carriages were seen parked at the gate.
Right now, the soldiers are carrying things upstairs, just like they're moving house.
Yan Xu was directing people to load the truck when he saw the two of them coming over and raised his hand to greet them.
"Brother Lu, Brother Qin, the eldest brother has decided to move to the village."
Let me ask you, where in the village are there any empty houses, preferably close together?
Lu Qingqing had already discussed this issue with her fifth uncle.
He jumped out of the car and started talking to Yan Xu as he walked inside.
Inside the house, Bai Song had almost finished tidying up his things.
Upon hearing the knock, he locked the chest containing gold and silver jewelry before going to open the door.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Qingqing, they quickly ushered her inside.
"Brother Lu, you've arrived. Come in quickly."
I've already had my men move things.
There's a lot of stuff, so I'll probably have to make at least four or five trips.
Seeing the neatly packed trunks and boxes on the floor, Lu Qingqing didn't go back inside, and said directly:
"I still have some horses and carriages. Send a few men with me to drive them later."
Time waits for no one, let's move there sooner so we can have peace of mind sooner.
Then he added:
"By the way, I've already discussed it with Uncle Lao Wu."
Of the empty houses in the village today, twelve are habitable.
In a little while, you'll come with me to the village, and I'll take you to see the houses.
However, these houses are scattered throughout the village and are not clustered together.
The specific accommodation arrangements are up to you.
Bai Song expressed his understanding.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing didn't say anything more.
He said something to Bai Song and the other person, and then walked out.
There was still much to be done, and they tried to do as much as possible before the refugees arrived.
Bai Song rode back in a two-person carriage, followed by three carts loaded with goods.
As soon as they entered the village, they ran into Sun Chengkun, who was rushing over.
Upon seeing Lu Qingqing and the other two, they hurried forward.
"Young Master Lu, let me show you the empty houses in the village."
Lu Qingqing sat down in the carriage and invited Sun Chengkun to come up as well.
The four of them took a short walk around the village, and Bai Song finally chose a small courtyard that was relatively close to Lu Qingqing's house.
As for his soldiers, they were scattered and lived in eleven houses.
After making the arrangements, Lu Qingqing led Bai Song and seven or eight soldiers westward.
On the way to look at the house, Sun Chengkun learned that they needed a horse-drawn carriage to move, so he borrowed several horse-drawn carriages and wagons from the village.
They went to catch the carriage, while Qin Lang went to visit his fifth uncle.
The refugees arrived too suddenly; there was no time to build a wall to stop them.
All we can do now is build a few sturdier barricades.
At that time, they will be placed in several locations that are accessible to the village.
These barricades not only prevented direct contact with the refugees, but also allowed for attacks from behind.
If we want to get the barricades made quickly, we still need to ask Uncle Lao Wu for help.
After all, the village's old carpenter could only be instructed by Uncle Wu.
Things like the skis we made before were all made by the old carpenter leading people.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang provided the ideas, and Uncle Lao Wu and Bai Song made the arrangements.
The entire village sprang into action.
With almost half an hour to go, Lu Qingqing slung her bow and arrows over her shoulder and headed to the eastern entrance of the village.
At this time, two large barricades had already been placed at the entrance of the village.
Behind the barricades were more than sixty soldiers wielding large swords.
Beside the soldier stood a dozen or so villagers carrying weapons such as machetes and hoes.
At this moment, looking east from the village entrance.
The path was covered in white, and there was no sign of any refugees.
But everyone remained on edge.
