Chapter 622 The Japanese invaded again!

"Uncle, our village is building a new house in the valley over there. It will be a while before we can move in. Now we can only make you live in a tent."

Qiao Ran took Huang Laogen to the newly built tent and said apologetically.

Huang Laogen was flattered: "Master, don't be so polite! This tent is already quite good, even better than my shabby house. Besides, Master, you all live in tents. It's good if I can live in one of my servants. There's nothing to feel wronged about." of."

"Okay, you put your things away first, then take a rest, and come to my tent to have dinner together later. I will take you into the valley in the afternoon to see the mulberry forest and silkworm house."

"Okay, okay...ah, no! Master, I am a servant, how can I have dinner with my boss and your family? I, I will just eat some leftovers. I will use half of the leftovers at home." I also brought a bag of brown rice and a small bag of cornmeal, so I can cook for myself in the afternoon.”

Qiao Ran waved her hand: "Don't bother me! There are more than a dozen people in my family and I don't care about your pair of chopsticks."

Huang Laogen insisted: "Thank you for your kindness, boss! However, servants must abide by the rules of servants. I have inquired about these, and I will definitely abide by the duties of a servant."

Seeing his persistence, Qiao Ran could only say:

"I still mean that. These three months are like hiring you as a master to teach the villagers how to grow mulberry and raise silkworms. After three months, if you still want to stay here, you can sign the contract then. Here For three months, you will live in your own tent and eat with us. When you move to a new house after a while, you will be given a room to live alone."

"Okay! Okay! Thank you, boss!"

Huang Laogen thanked him profusely and was deeply moved.

At noon, Huang Laogen had dinner with the Qiao family and had the best meal he had ever eaten in his life.

After lunch, Qiao Ran drove Huang Laogen to Devil's Valley in a carriage.

First, he moved the bamboo plaques, bamboo sieves and shelves on the carriage into the other two vacant silkworm rooms. Then he took Huang Laogen to get familiar with the environment and saw the silkworms that had cocooned in the silkworm room and the pond. There are mulberry forests planted on the sides and on the mountains.

Huang Laogen immediately threw himself into the work and took the initiative to pick up the hoe and go to the mulberry forest to weed and turn the soil.

After a few days, the silkworm moths began to emerge from the cocoons, and then laid piles of small black silkworm eggs on the rags spread on the bamboo plaque.

Qiao Ran distributed these silkworm eggs to the families who signed up to raise silkworms, and asked Huang Laogen to train everyone, teaching them how to hatch silkworm eggs, how to feed the ant silkworms after they hatched, and so on.

The life of the people of Qingshui Village is still busy and orderly, tense and fulfilling. The hard-working people of Qingshui Village work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and they are peaceful and peaceful.

But on the remote island, there was a bloody storm.

"Lord Chief, those Japanese people are attacking again!"

Panting, Bama ran into the thatched meeting hall and reported to the man sitting high in the chief's seat.

Hearing this, the other tribal leaders in the meeting hall could not sit still, and the atmosphere became tense.

Chief Bartus pressed down his hands to suppress the noisy sound.

"How many people are here? What weapons do they have?"

"There are twelve boats, and there are about ten people on each boat, using long samurai swords, and some people are holding crossbows and spears. Their boat is sailing this way, and it will be over in about a quarter of an hour. We can reach the shore."

"Get the archers ready!"

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Bartus got up and took the lead to walk outside.

A group of people came to the coast, and Bartus picked up a telescope made of bamboo tubes and took a look. The people on the boats were all waving weapons, looking menacing.

Bartus waved his hand, and a team of more than thirty archers ran out from behind. They lined up on the beach and put homemade wooden arrows on the bowstrings.

Behind these leaders, there are more than 300 strong men from this island and other islands who came to support them. They were bare-chested, holding wooden spears, long wooden sticks, and weapons that they had previously exchanged with merchant ships. Broadsword, long sword.

While they were waiting, the twelve ships gradually approached the shore.

"Chi-la-la!"

"Haya Ku!"

The Japanese on the boat were shouting at the islanders on the shore, but unfortunately they couldn't understand a word.

Seeing so many people on the shore with weapons pointed at them, the people on the boat did not dare to dock easily. They chattered for a while on the boat. Seeing that the islanders did not make the slightest move, the Japanese were so angry that their noses were smoking. .

Later, a short Japanese man with a tuft of hair under his nose stood at the bow of the boat and spoke in several languages.

It wasn't until the Japanese man spoke in broken Dai Viet that Battus finally understood what he meant.

He immediately shouted to the other side in Vietnamese:

"Get out of our waters! You are not welcome here!"

When the group of Mao Japanese heard that someone here understood Dai Viet, they felt happy and immediately started speaking in Dai Viet.

"Master Chief, what are the Japanese talking about?"

one tribal leader asked.

The others also looked at the chief. They couldn't understand what the Japanese were talking about.

"He said he wanted us to let them land on the island and give them several large islands in this sea area. They are the masters of this sea area."

"What? These bastards! They are so shameless! We, the people, have lived here for countless generations, starting from our ancestors. We just give in when they say it. Who are they?"

"That's right! Why do you want to let it go? With more than a hundred dwarf winter melons, you want to occupy our islands? Are you dreaming?"

"Put in these bastards, beat them all to death, and throw them into the sea to feed the bastards! These are the turtle bastards!"

Battus listened to the roars of the tribesmen, his expression did not change, and he only calmly replied a few words to the Japanese on the boat:

"Go back to your lair!"

The Japanese was so angry that he jumped on his feet for a while like a dancing master, and then cursed for a while.

The other Japanese people probably also understood the meaning of the conversation between the two, and they were so angry that they jumped to their feet and screamed.

If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, the Japanese will forcefully attack the island.

There were also archers on their boats, and several people on each boat ran to the bow with bows and arrows, and bent their bows to shoot arrows towards the island.

Tuft of Hair threatened them a few more times, but Bartus still told them to get lost.

At this moment, the Japanese on the boat couldn't help it anymore, and rained arrows towards the coast.

"Shield Bearer!"

Bartus gave the order, and dozens of men holding rattan shields ran up behind them. They ran in front of the archers on their side and put up their shields to block the rain of arrows.

After the opponent's round of arrow rain passed, Bartus also gave an order, and more than thirty archers immediately released their bow strings, and the arrow rain shot toward the ship.
