Chapter 236 Eat this big piece of fat meat
Lu Tianming was silent for a while, then comforted:
"Don't worry too much, everyone. Our team's numbers give us an advantage in town. If it's really dangerous to go out, we can just wait for a few days. The fish in the yard will be enough for everyone to eat for a while!"
When everyone heard Lu Tianming say that he wanted to guard the yard, they knew that he was not optimistic about the situation in the town and became even more silent.
Lu Shuhe, who was sitting over there, saw that the villagers all looked heavy-hearted, so he also found a topic to talk about:
"When we went there today, we found that some refugees had already gone there with smaller fishing nets to fish!"
After hearing this, Lu Qingqing thought it was good news.
The river was wide and long, and they had been fishing for a long time without seeing any decrease in their harvest, so they were not afraid of the refugees going fishing.
On the contrary, if the refugees have a way to survive, they will not keep their eyes on them.
However, there is no other way to stay in the yard now.
These days, there is a steady influx of refugees into the town.
Compared with the refugees who had no food or water, their team was like a piece of fat meat, tempting the refugees in the town.
It just so happens that these days, it snows from time to time, and when it snows heavily, we have to clear the snow several times a day.
Coupled with the extremely low temperature, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
It is indeed as Lu Tianming said, the best thing for them now is to stay home.
After a moment of silence, Lu Qingqing and others went back to the house to process the fish they brought back.
Three days passed in a flash, and during these three days, their team did not go out fishing again.
Everyone stayed at home to deal with the frozen fish.
That morning, Lu Qingqing was processing fish in the house when she heard someone knocking on the door.
Before she even left the house, she saw Wang Dahe running in quickly, looking troubled and saying:
"There's a woman outside begging for food. She keeps knocking on the door. We've told her several times that we have no food, but she refuses to leave. Now she's still begging outside."
When Tianfu Niang heard this, she stood up suddenly.
"Why doesn't this woman understand what people are saying? You young man, don't speak up. I'll go over and scold her!"
As he spoke, he took big strides, walked out of the house and headed towards the gate.
Lu Qingqing also stood up and followed, carrying a bow and arrow before leaving.
As soon as Tianfu Niang arrived at the gate, she said with a cold face:
"That woman outside, my family has nothing to eat, so you should go find a job somewhere else!"
Outside the door, the woman listened to her and knelt down again, begging in a sobbing voice:
"Auntie, I really have no other choice. Please give me some food."
Seeing that she still refused to leave, Tianfu Niang scolded her through the door:
"I've lived my whole life and never heard of begging being forced. If I say there's no food, then there's nothing to eat. You don't have to cry so much. There's no master here, so who are you crying for?"
The woman outside was so angry at her conversation that her face turned red and she stood up with the help of her hands.
Taking advantage of the fact that the people inside the gate couldn't see her, she glared fiercely inside the gate.
When she was in a brothel before, the customers would never say that to her.
The woman felt humiliated and wanted to stand up and leave.
But she remembered the task the man had given her and continued to cry:
"Auntie, please have mercy on me. I'm almost starving. As long as you give me something to eat, I'm willing to sell myself to you. I'll do anything for you!"
When Tianfu Niang heard this, she was so angry that she spat on the ground.
"Bah! How can a decent woman be like you? I think you are not a good person!
You're selling your body! Even if you bring money to us, we won't accept you.
If you don't get out of here, I'll have someone beat you up and strip you of your clothes. Then let's see how you can survive out here!"
When the woman outside heard this, she felt so angry that she felt like one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Her expression changed again and again, but she couldn't help but spit at the door and cursed:
"Bah! You're such a sharp-tongued old woman. You're speaking so harshly. Be careful not to damage your moral character and harm your descendants!"
After saying that, the woman stood up and walked to the side angrily.
When Tian Fu's mother heard the woman scolding her son and grandson, she became furious and went forward to open the door and beat the woman.
Lu Tianming took a step forward and blocked the door lock.
"Auntie, we fell into their trap as soon as we left the house. I think there are people lying in ambush outside!"
Tian Fu Niang's originally angry expression became a little confused after hearing Lu Tianming's words.
"Tian...Tianming, are you saying they want to trick us into opening the door?"
Lu Tianming nodded:
"Over the past two nights, several people have come from outside and tried to climb over the wall. I'm afraid they're targeting us!"
After hearing this, Tianfu Niang was frightened and stammered:
"But...but there are so many of us. How many people would it take for them to dare to attack our yard?"
Lu Tianming frowned and said as he walked into the house:
"We haven't been out for a few days, but I've climbed up the ladder several times and seen that there are always new refugees pouring into the town."
Yao County Magistrate sighed:
"I think they've teamed up to take over our big piece of fat meat! Judging from their frequent probing in the past two days, I'm afraid they'll take action soon!"
Lu Tianfu shrank his neck and said, "When will they come? We have to be on guard like this all the time, how long will it take us to be here?"
Lu Tianming looked towards the gate with a stern expression:
"I'm afraid it won't be long!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the people who gathered around him:
"Everyone, be alert while on duty these two days! Sharpen your swords! If anyone dares to rob us, stop them!"
Everyone agreed, and in the urgency of the situation, they no longer cared about the fish and focused on preparing for the battle.
Outside, next to a house not far from the yard.
The man with a gloomy face looked at the woman who came back angrily. Without saying a word, he slapped her in the face and cursed in a low voice:
"What a useless bitch! Aren't you good at dealing with men? How come you can't even open a door!"
The beaten woman covered her face and said aggrievedly:
“They have been on guard for a long time, so how could they open the door so easily?
I struggled there for a while, and was severely scolded by an old woman inside!
I've been kneeling there for so long that my knees are numb from the cold!
Fifth brother, we are all doing this for you!"
As she spoke, the woman tried to move closer to the man, but he pushed her away mercilessly.
The woman was angry but dared not say anything. She shrank her body and moved towards the wall.
But the look she gave Fifth Brother was not admiring as she said. Besides contempt, there was also some resentment in it.
The man called Fifth Brother walked forward a few steps and leaned out to look at the yard where Lu Qingqing was.
The sturdy gate and the high courtyard wall that was frozen solid were really suitable for the brothers to live in. It would be great if this was their yard.
Thinking about the sacks of big fish and the horses in the yard that he had seen when he was stalking before, the fifth brother felt even more excited.
No matter how hard this fat meat is, he will bite it off!
At this time, two refugees were walking along the street in front. When they saw dozens of men lying in ambush inside, they were so scared that they ran forward.
