Chapter 311: Distress (2)
Everyone had their own concerns, and no one had the heart to eat, so they hastily used some and called the store to withdraw. Saitama picked up the coarse porcelain cup on the table and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. The tea is bitter, just like her mood now.
"We have been here for more than ten days, and the road ahead does not seem to be peaceful at any time, and it is not a way for everyone to spend time here, so it is better for us to go back to Suzhou and make plans." I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I have to send a letter to Jiangnan to let them know about our situation here, and I have to make Tang Yong bother again. ”
"Madam, what do you say, it's just an errand business, you can leave it to me. Tang Yong was embarrassed, touched his head and said. He was able to marry Haruhing, which is something that will wake up laughing in a dream, so he is full of gratitude to Saitama.
"Then it's decided, we'll leave for Suzhou early tomorrow morning, settle down when we arrive, and then decide when you and Chunying will leave. ”
Saitama made this decision, and her heart settled down, and she finally stopped being as anxious as she was two days ago, and she didn't know whether to leave or stay, so she slept extra sweetly this night.
But the misfortune is not alone, and on this night, the group of robbers in Qishan hit this town with their ideas. It turned out that the town in Qishan had been almost looted by them, and seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, they always had to find some supplies, and this small town that was only more than ten miles away from Qishan fell into their eyes.
They were about forty or fifty men and horses, and they rode fast horses to this town in the night. All of a sudden, the town's original tranquility was shattered by the neighing, cries, and screams of horses.
Saitama and the others did not live in the center of the town, but they were also woken up by the noisy sound, and the magpie was also awakened, she got up and walked to the bed to take a look, and there was a faint fire in the center of the town, and there seemed to be a sound of shouting.
"I'm afraid there's a fire in the town?"
Saitama also put on his clothes and walked to the window, listening intently, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be heard.
"It's not good, I'm afraid there are strong people, let's go down quickly. ”
The two hurriedly got dressed and were pushing open the door, but they saw Tang Yong and Chunying coming to find them. The four of them hurried downstairs, and they heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and the customers who lived in the store had already gone out quickly, and the rest of them were drilling around and didn't know what to do. Tang Yong pulled the spring warbler at this time, beckoned Saitama and a few others to the backyard, he knew that there were several large haystacks in the backyard, which were forage for the livestock, and he wanted to be able to hide for a while.
Fortunately, everyone was trying to run for their lives, and no one came to the back, and by this time most of the horses had been led, and the northeast corner of the yard was facing three or four large haystacks. Magpie helped Saitama to pick up the haystack and get in, Tang Yong pulled the grass on the haystack a few times, and then also pulled the spring warbler into another haystack.
The haystack was stuffy and smelly, and Saitama felt that she was itching all over her body, but she was a ninja, no matter what, but it was better than letting a strong man catch her, and the woman lost her reputation, but what else did she have to do.
At this time, remembering the messy footsteps, Saitama's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she and Que'er's hands were tightly clasped together.
"Big brother, look, there are still a few horses left, and this harvest is good. I heard a rough voice say.
A deep voice hummed, and Saitama heard footsteps coming towards the haystack where she was hiding, and her heart beat violently, as if it were about to burst out of her throat, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Magpie hugged Saitama tightly, desperately trying to reassure her, and although she was also very scared, she still wanted to give Saitama a little comfort and protection.
With a "poof" sound, a long knife pierced into the haystack, and it could be slashed past the magpie's side. Saitama and Magpie huddled tightly together, not daring to move. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in Que'er's back, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word. And the long knife was still stabbing in the haystack, and it was seen that Saitama's hiding place was about to be exposed.
"Big brother is not good, it seems that there are officers and soldiers coming!"
Suddenly someone shouted loudly, and the long knife immediately stopped, and a chaotic footstep was heard gradually leaving, and the courtyard suddenly became silent again.
I don't know how long it took, Saitama tried to move her stiff body, but found that Magpie was holding her tightly, and she whispered:
"Magpie, magpie. But Magpie didn't respond.
Suddenly, it turned out that Tang Yong and Chunying had come out and lifted the hay on the haystack of Saitama and them. Saitama adjusted to the bright light and went to see Magpie, but found that Magpie's face was pale and her eyes were tightly closed, and she withdrew her hand from the back of Magpie, only to find that her hands were already dried up with blood stains.
"Magpie, magpie, what's wrong with you?"
The spring warbler trembled and put her hand under the magpie's nose,
"She's still angry, get her out. ”
The three of them carefully helped Que'er out of the haystack, and everyone found that there were two wounds on Que'er's back that were still oozing blood. Saitama's tears burst out of her eyes at once, and Que'er was stabbed twice on her back but didn't say a word, how could she let a person be so sacrificed for her life.
Saitama and Chunying walked slowly with Que'er, Tang Yong ran to the first floor of the inn first, only to see stumps and broken arms everywhere on the ground, blood stains on tables and chairs, and on the ground, and some injured people lying on the ground wailing, which shows what kind of Shura field this was last night.
Tang Yong thought that he had to find a place for Que'er to lie down, so he went up to the second floor, only to see that the doors of each guest room were wide open, the room was turned into a mess, the beds were lifted, and the cabinets and tables fell to the ground.
Tang Yong entered the house of Saitama and Que'er, and it was also turned into a mess, but fortunately, they carried their softness with him, which was a blessing in misfortune. He walked to the bedside, tidied up the messy bed, then lifted up the table and wardrobe that had been turned over, and then roughly organized the messy clothes and other things on the floor, so that people had a place to put their feet down.
When everything was cleaned up, Saitama and Haruying helped Que'er up, because there was a wound on her back, so she could only let Que'er lie on the bed.
"I'll go down and see if I can find a doctor to show Miss Que'er. ”
"Let's go, I'll go boil some hot water first, clean up for Sister Que'er, and change her clothes. Madame, are you okay here alone?" asked Chunying.
"Leave me alone, you guys get busy first. Saitama waved her hand and let the spring warbler go about her own work. She forced herself not to think about the tragic situation she had just seen downstairs, and found a clean set of clothes from the clothes that were still all over the ground, and prepared to change them for Que'er in a while.
After doing all this, Saitama sat beside Magpie, still with lingering palpitations when she remembered the thrill of the night, and she leaned against the bedpost and hugged her knees, her head lowered, and tears welled up in her eyes.
