Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Jedi
Huang Chuchu's master and servant walked away step by step.
Qin Forget watched them disappear, feeling that he was covered in sweat, it was the first time he had face-to-face contact with a girl like this, and he felt more tired than fighting. However, Qin Forget also felt other things, he didn't know what it was for the time being, anyway, it made him feel numb and comfortable, and he was faintly looking forward to the next meeting with Huang Chuchu.
"I really didn't expect this girl to be Huang Ling's daughter, but she is a very good person. But the owner, we seem to be in trouble. Yang Xuan stepped forward and whispered.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Qin Forget retracted his thoughts and asked suspiciously.
"It's the bandits. While you were comforting their master and servant, I interrogated the living mouth. They have come from a lot of roads. Yang Xuan was a little worried.
"Go on." Qin Forget also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Taihang Dulong Peak." Yang Xuan said a place name.
"Dulong Peak? It's not far from our Qinjia Village. I've heard of them, the boss is nicknamed the One-Eyed Dragon, and he is ruthless, and he has four or five hundred outlaws under his command. Qin Wang's brows frowned slightly, it seems that this time it is really a big deal, it is still a big deal.
"Yes, host, once they know that we killed their people, I'm afraid it will be 。。。。。。" Yang Xuan also looked worried, "I hope they won't find out about us." ”
"Whether they find us or not, now that the feud has been settled, we have to prepare early. With their forces and means, it is only a matter of time before they discover us. After all, only the four of us came out of the forest today, and many pedestrians have seen it, so it is not difficult to guess. We hurried to the county seat to get things done and returned to Qinjia Village as soon as possible. Qin Forget is not as optimistic as Yang Xuan, or he is lucky.
"The owner, I carefully disposed of the corpse at that time, if I don't look carefully, I shouldn't find it, I'm afraid that there are masters in Dulong Peak."
"Yang Xuan, we have to get ready when we go back. I'm afraid that this group of bandits will soon find out that we did it. By the way, we're going to take those bandit guys with us when we go back, we're short of that stuff right now. Also, don't take chances with the bandits, they will die if they don't do it. ”
"Today we saved Huang Ling's daughter, also because their master and servant offended the Dulong Bee, the owner, see if you can use the power of the government." Yang Xuan proposed a very feasible plan.
Qin Forget listened to Yang Xuan's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know why he was reluctant to mix his relationship with Huang Chuchu into other things. But his reason told him that what Yang Xuan said was very reasonable.
"Let's decide after the situation, don't get too hopeful, that Huang Ling is not a good match, I'm afraid this matter is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others, maybe a few taels of silver will send us away."
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly and admitted that it was very likely that Qin Forget had said it.
Qin Forget and Yang Xuan bought more than a dozen axes and saws in Chicheng and walked to Qinjia Village, and the two of them also went to the place where Huang Chuchu was rescued to take a look, and things were still developing in the worst direction. Because they found that the bodies of the bandits were gone, and the two of them only took out the weapons they had hidden. All the weapons added up to three gaped broadswords, four rusty spears, two ordinary hunting bows, and more than sixty feathered arrows.
Along the way, the two of them can be said to be extremely cautious, worried about being discovered by the bandits of Dulong Peak, so they specially looked for small roads and wild roads along the way. Fortunately, Qin Forget was very familiar with Taihang Mountain, just like in his own home, and the two of them did not take any detours.
Even so, each carrying hundreds of pounds of tools and weapons made the two of them tired. Qin Forget grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to walking mountain roads, so he is a little better. Yang Xuan was miserable, although he was born in the military, and his physical condition was not to be said, he was not used to walking on the mountain road, and he almost died of exhaustion.
"Yang Xuan, I'm afraid it's really troublesome this time. With the strength of the bandits, our Qinjia Village is in danger. At the entrance of the village, Qin Forget said to Yang Xuan.
"yes, and worst of all, we're helpless right now. Owners, we need to recruit people as soon as possible, especially young and strong. Yang Xuan's face was also full of sadness.
"I know, this matter is not to be publicized for the time being, so as not to cause panic among everyone, and I will arrange the recruitment of young people as soon as possible. By the way, let your brother go to Dulong Peak to keep an eye on it, once they make a move, we can also get the news in time, but he will work a little harder. ”
This Dulong Bee is the closest bandit village to Qinjia Village, and the bandit leader One-Eyed Dragon is a ruthless guy, who often does things that slaughter the village and destroy debts, as long as the place he looks at has always been a chicken and a dog. Even among the bandits in Taihang Mountain, the reputation of Dulong Peak is very poor.
However, in the past, Dulong Peak had never provoked Qinjia Village. The reason is also simple, although Qinjia Village is not big, the people are fierce, and there are forty or fifty young adults, all of whom are skilled in archery and extraordinary. Especially Qin Wang's father, Qin Duanshan, is even more powerful, and his old partner Duan Liu is also famous. With these two people in charge, no bandits dared to attack Qinjia Village.
In order to exchange for food, and to recruit young people by the way, Qin Wang, who had just returned to Qinjia Village for a few days, decided to take a few carts of fish to Chicheng to try his luck, wanting to exchange for more food and salt, and it was easy to talk about these other things. The key is that there are too many fish in Qinjia Village, nearly 5,000 catties of fish are backlogged in the warehouse, and if you don't deal with it in time, the weather will be hot and the designation will be bad.
Early in the morning of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Forget took Yang Xuan, Aunt Xiu, Aunt Duan and more than a dozen sturdy women with knives and bows, pulled three sleigh carts, and set off for the county seat with 2,000 catties of big fish. Along the way, for fear of being ambushed by bandits, Qin Forget personally explored the way ahead. Yang Xuan drew his knife in his hand, carefully protecting the sled. Fortunately, I set off early, and the weather was cold, except for the dead people who froze to death on the side of the road, I didn't see a few living creatures on the road.
Along the way, they came to the county seat safely and soundly, and after paying more than a dozen big fish as money to enter the city, the group successfully entered Xicheng District. Walking on the road, Qin Forget found that there were a lot more victims than when he came last time, a full twenty percent more. The proportion of young and strong people is also much higher than last time, accounting for almost half of the number of victims.
Qin Forget guessed that after the Chinese New Year, more people would have no rations and would become homeless. In the past, most of the old and weak among the displaced people died of hunger and cold, but the young and strong were more likely to survive and survive the fittest, thus forming the current situation. In this environment, those who can survive are definitely brave, plus they have been hungry for more than half a month, and people have become more crazy, and their combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than last time, so Qin Forget is even more nervous than last time.
The strong smell of fish on the wagons drifted against the wind, and the craving for food of these refugees made their noses a hundred times more sensitive. They looked at Qin Wang's group, their eyes lit up and they slowly stood up, and they all slowly approached Qin Wang's group. Most of them are young and middle-aged, and a few old people, children and women are mixed in, and everyone's eyes are shining green.
What's even more terrifying is that those children, with a bony body with a few ribs on it, are as thin as firewood, and their heads are very big. People are worried that their bodies will not be able to bear the weight of their heads at any time, and they will fall down and gurgle a few times. But they were also slowly approaching, like hungry wolves.
"Boss, this can't be done! When I was a refugee, I had a few brothers who knew each other, do you want to 。。。。。。 Yang Xuan looked around vigilantly and said to Qin Wang.
"No, it's just the two of us here, you just walked on the front foot, and they will definitely pounce on the back foot and tear the rest of the people apart, take one step at a time." Qin Wang's tone was low, he felt that he was still underestimated after all, and the easy escape last time made him underestimate this group of refugees, and also underestimated their destructive power.
Now in the depths of the Jedi, unless a miracle happens, I am afraid that it will not be spared.
Hearing the nervous gasps of the women behind him, Qin Forget smiled helplessly, when faced with thousands of hungry refugees, no matter how powerful a person is, he will not remain silent. The women in the back are already doing a good job. The women of Qinjia Village hunt and fish, and they usually see a lot of life and death, especially after the last incident, the people who survived were all people with firm minds, so they could do this, and if they were other women, they would have been scared down a long time ago. What can you force them to do?
"Steady, steady." Qin Forget shouted in a low voice, and a cold light began to flicker in his bright eyes.
If something can't be done, Qin Forget doesn't mind killing it. The refugees are pitiful, but in the end, they are not related to him, comparing them with the people of Qinjia Village, Qin Forget will not hesitate to choose the latter.
The refugees are gathering more and more, and hunger has left them with no strength to cry out. There was not a trace of commotion in the crowd, and everyone slowly gathered towards Qin Forget like the walking dead. If someone looks down from the sky at this time, they will find that all the refugees in the entire West City are slowly gathering in one place. They staggered with fluttering steps, moving slowly but with unusual determination. They weave through dilapidated straw huts and move through the filthy and messy streets like a bunch of hungry ghosts from hell pounce on their food.
The crowd got closer and closer, and the nearest one was only ten steps away from Qin Wang. Qin Forget could already smell the stench coming from these refugees, and the silent oppression made Qin Wang's forehead covered with a thin layer of cold sweat. He never imagined that a group of refugees who were hungry and poorly clothed would explode with such a murderous atmosphere.
"Raise your bow!" Drink it off!
Qin Forget knew that if he didn't do something, the people on their side would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure. As long as one person shows weakness, it is a signal for these refugees to do something. Just a dozen of them, facing thousands of refugees, I am afraid that they will collapse immediately.
Embroidered aunts, they "Huh! He raised the longbow in his hand, although many arrows were trembling violently, reflecting the great fear in the hearts of the embroidered aunts, but the sharp arrows were equally sharp.
Weapons have been displayed here, which is equivalent to expressing "Those who are closer, kill!" But the refugees just paused, and moved on. For them, being killed by Qin Forget and them is not much different from starving to death. The only difference is that if you work hard, you might be able to be a full ghost.
The refugees were not left to be slaughtered, and many began to raise bamboo poles, sticks, bricks, kitchen knives, and even their own broken bowls. These refugees are ready to attack.
"Ready!" With another snort, Qin Forget pulled out the hunting knife on his waist and raised it high, his face full of cold killing intent. His pupils turned dangerously pinpoint-like like they had last time.
Even if he can't save his life, Qin Forget has to give it a go.
There was a tooth-aching sound of bows, and a dozen sharp feathered arrows were pointed at the hungry crowd, just waiting for the hunting knife to be swung。。。。。。
