Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

It was just getting dark that day, Zhang He practiced his saber skills indiscriminately, and was having dinner when he heard a knock on the door.

Old man Zhang opened the door and saw the two fat tiger brothers.

"What's the matter with you two? Come into the house."

The two brothers looked a bit embarrassed at this time, the quilts wrapped around their bodies were gone, and there was still a lot of fresh mud on their bodies, obviously they fell down on the road.

"You two probably haven't had dinner yet, come on! Sit down and eat together."

Old man Zhang had a good impression of the pair of brothers. Even though he was usually shrewd and stingy, it was rare for him to be generous enough to invite them to dinner at this time.

"Big brother! The bandits are coming to your village to rob you, run away!"

Fat Tiger also had a big heart. After saying this, he took a bowl of corn and rice handed over by old man Zhang, and took a big mouthful of corn and rice in his mouth.

"When did it happen? How do you know?"

Zhang He subconsciously touched the Tang Dao on his waist, and it was time to come.

"It's like this..."

It turned out that the fact that the two of them had been helping Zhang He's family deliver firewood had long been known to some bandit spies.

This afternoon, the two were captured by the bandits, carefully interrogated Zhang Jialing and Zhang He's family, and then they were imprisoned.

Taking advantage of the negligence of the guards, they escaped secretly, and then rushed all the way to Zhangjialing.

When Fat Tiger said this, he couldn't help but shed tears: "Wow...wow...I managed to earn three cents, and it was all taken away by the goddamn bandits."

Zhang He saw that while he was crying, he had to pick rice into his mouth, his tears were swallowed along with the rice, and he was about to comfort him, but he saw that Ma Gan took out two copper coins from the torn quilt on his body.

"Hey! Brother, why are you hiding two coins?"

Seeing the two pennies, Fat Tiger felt a little better, but he still felt sorry for his three pennies.

This is what their brothers saved from their mouths during this time.

After asking for the news, old man Zhang has already gone out in winter clothes. This is a major event that needs to be dealt with with the whole village.

Of course, their family can also sneak away, but there are many people who helped their family when they were in trouble, and they must not forget their roots.

There are dozens of households in Zhangjialing, and the total population is only four to five hundred people. After getting the news, there are already more than one hundred people gathered together anxiously.

It is not a trivial matter for bandits to enter the village. Some time ago, when Shanghe Village next door was attacked by bandits, dozens of people died in the village. There was not a grain of food left in the village, and several houses were burned down.

Shanghe Village was completely destroyed. Without food, they could only borrow money, or go to other places to beg for a living, and join the army of refugees.

Due to time constraints, everyone quickly discussed a solution.

All the old and weak women and children in the village withdrew and hid in the back mountain.

As for the complete evacuation, it is impossible. The bandits will definitely not be reconciled. Setting fire to the house will make them homeless.

Moreover, the bandits can still chase into the mountains along the footprints, and it is still difficult for a large group of people to escape.

Now we can only let the old and the weak retreat, leaving the young and strong to fight the bandits in the village.

These days, anyone can fight to the death for a bite to eat. Bandits want to cut their way out, and these farmers who usually farm the land can naturally pick up a hoe and fight for their lives.

Zhangjialing villagers usually have some small conflicts with each other, but they can be united externally.

According to the practice passed down from generation to generation, each household will provide some food so that the young and strong can have a full meal before the war.

In addition, if unfortunately died in battle, the whole village will pool money together to give a pension to the family of the deceased.

These are the distances that have been handed down from the surrounding villages for thousands of years. When everyone discusses, bring it up again so that everyone knows it well, and naturally no one will object.

There is no shortage of food in Zhang He’s family, especially sweet potatoes. There are tens of thousands of catties piled up in his space. Therefore, he generously took out more than 200 catties of boiled sweet potatoes,

Let everyone eat to their fullest.

At this time, the old and the weak in the village had already evacuated, and Zhang He asked the Fat Tiger brothers to evacuate with them.

There are more than a hundred young and strong people left in the village. At this time, they are all stuffing food into their mouths. It is rare to be full once a year.

When the villages in this world were established, the issue of defense was taken into consideration, and there was only one narrow road to enter Zhangjialing.

At the fourth watch, a group of bandits touched the entrance of the village along the path.

Zhang He hid behind a wall, with a bow and arrow in his hand, and old man Zhang followed beside him, holding a sharpened pole in his hand, which was regarded as a spear.

The rest of the young and strong also took poles or hoes and hid nearby.

Under the light of the sparse torches, this group of bandits appeared indistinct, and it was hard to see how many people there were.

Although the young and strong people hiding at the entrance of the village used to speak boldly, they were unavoidably nervous at this time, with palms out of their hands, and a few of them trembled uncontrollably.

Zhang He performed the nameless exercise, his heart was bright, like an ancient well without waves.

The moonlight is very good tonight, two of the three moons in the sky are bright.

Zhang He's eyesight was also much better than that of ordinary villagers, and he could already see the bandits on the opposite side clearly.

An arrow has been wound, the longbow is drawn into a full moon, and the arrow is aimed at a pig's kidney face under the torch ahead.

This pig's kidney face walked in the middle, with a fierce look, it must be a bandit leader or something.

"Hoo!" With a sound, the arrow flew out.

Then the arrow was shot crookedly under Zhang He's gaze, and it was nailed to the chest of a horse face next to him, making a scream.

"Get in!"

Zhu Yaoziyan pulled out a butcher's knife, and rushed towards the village with a loud shout.

At this moment, countless sharpened wooden sticks flew out from the entrance of the village, with some stones, torches and other objects mixed in between, and they all fell into the group of bandits, making the group of bandits scream.

There were quite a few people with bloody wounds on the spot. Although they were not fatal immediately, they greatly affected the morale of the bandits.

When Zhang He shot the second arrow, he learned his lesson and aimed at a pie face next to the pig's kidney.

He shot down with an arrow, and there was another scream. This time, he hit Dabing's face accurately.

"It's still too little practice."

With a sigh in my heart, I put the longbow behind my back, drew out the Tang knife and went forward to kill.

Old man Zhang followed closely with his shoulder pole, and reminded him carefully, "Run slower!"

The pig's kidney face was the most fierce, and he seemed to be the leader of this group of bandits. A young man who rushed faster just now was stabbed by him.

Zhang He rushed forward and slashed down with a knife. The pig's kidney face quickly blocked it with the butcher's knife, but his arm was numb due to the strong shock from the knife.

Seeing that Zhang He slashed down again, Pig Kidney Face could only raise the knife to meet him again, but he didn't find a sharpened shoulder pole, which was obscenely stabbed out from behind Zhang He.

Old man Zhang has eaten a lot recently, and his strength has increased greatly. With enough strength, this shoulder pole directly pierced the pig's kidney face.

The opponent still wanted to struggle, but was stabbed in the head by Zhang He again, and he died completely.

Next, Zhang He singled out those fierce bandits to attack, and the old man Zhang followed behind to guard the surroundings, sneak attack, and make up the knife. Together, the two of them killed several bandits one after another.

Zhang He found that not only was his strength far stronger than these bandits, but his reaction speed was also much faster.

In his eyes, the movements of many bandits seemed to be in slow motion, posing no threat to him.
