Chapter 906 Suppressing the Refugees
Chapter 906 Suppressing the Refugees
They delivered supplies to two households in a row, but didn't encounter any refugees.
Just as the group was feeling relieved, they heard villagers shouting for help ahead.
Sun Chengkun listened intently, and his expression changed drastically.
"Oh no, it's Erzhuzi's house!"
After saying that, he took off running in that direction.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing tightened the bundle on her back and followed.
When the group ran over, they found that Erzhuzi's courtyard gate had been knocked down.
More than twenty refugees crowded at the doorway, reaching inside to grab something.
A woman's shrill cries came from inside the house.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Help! Someone please save us!
Qin Lang instructed Lu Qingqing to climb onto the wall, while he rushed up with his knife.
Behind them, a group of villagers, holding machetes, followed closely.
With the help of these dozen or so villagers, the battle ended quickly.
In less than fifteen minutes, the group of refugees were all killed.
Qin Lang and his men finished off the corpses in the courtyard one by one.
Erzhuzi's family also moved the things that were blocking the back of the house.
He opened the broken door and came out.
They arrived just in time; Erzhuzi only had his arm dislocated.
Qin Lang quickly and efficiently reset him.
After this incident, Erzhuzi's house is no longer a place to live.
They quickly packed their things and went to a nearby courtyard where soldiers lived.
After settling the women and children, Erzhuzi followed them.
The group continued eastward to deliver the medicine.
If they encountered a small number of refugees on the road, they would swarm them and kill them.
Several battles were fought, during which several villagers were injured.
However, because I was wearing thick clothes in winter, the wound wasn't too deep.
While delivering the medicine, Lu Qingqing rinsed their wounds, sprinkled some medicine powder on them, and bandaged them up.
Those injured and unable to move around were left in the yard nearby.
Thus, the group successfully delivered the last household's package.
Sun Chengkun saw that the soldiers had already started brewing medicine and looked at Lu Qingqing.
"Young Master Lu, what do we do next?"
Lu Qingqing heard the sounds of banging on doors and the insults of the refugees still emanating from not far away, and stretched her tired shoulders and neck.
"We've already reached the easternmost point, so let's start clearing from the east and move west!"
Sun Chengkun thought about the hundreds of refugees who had poured in, took a deep breath, and said to the villagers:
"Today, either the refugees die, or we die!"
If we can't protect the village, we won't survive this harsh winter.
We're all men; if we don't stand up now...
Are we just going to watch our parents, wife, and children be humiliated by those refugees?
Upon hearing this, those men who wanted to back down gritted their teeth and held back.
This place is not only their home, but also their home for their parents, wife, and children.
At times like these, if they can't protect their homes, where can they go?
Lu Qingqing watched as he encouraged the villagers and gathered a few soldiers who were still relatively intact in the courtyard.
The group left the house and headed straight for the easternmost part of the village.
The easternmost courtyard was where the women lived.
To Lu Qingqing's surprise, there were quite a few corpses lying haphazardly at the entrance of the courtyard.
When they arrived, they didn't hear any other noises in the yard.
A soldier stepped forward, knocked on the door, and called out to a familiar soldier.
Soon, the gate was opened.
Two soldiers and a group of women were standing in the courtyard, holding weapons.
Lu Qingqing was very familiar with that aura emanating from him.
That's the kind of aura you only get after someone has been killed.
She glanced at the women at the front, whose knives were stained with blood.
They then realized that the killing of these refugees outside was also their doing.
By this time, the soldiers had already exchanged information with each other.
When the women learned that they were going outside to kill refugees, they all demanded to go out.
Lu Qingqing grabbed the soldier who was trying to stop them from leaving and said:
"After you leave, follow my instructions."
If anyone is too tired, they should retreat to the back.
Did you understand everything?
"I understand!"
A group of women's resolute voices rang out in the small courtyard.
Lu Qingqing's usually tense expression softened slightly.
Regardless of their previous identities, they were willing to stand up and risk their lives when the village was in such a critical situation.
She admired them from the bottom of her heart!
The women quickly packed their things, then locked the door and followed the others out.
They first placed the items in the yard of the nearest soldier's house, and then the group began searching house to house.
When he encountered a family with few members, Sun Chengkun would go forward.
They were advised to pack their belongings and stay temporarily in the soldiers' quarters.
And the men from that family would often join their ranks.
After searching three or four places, they encountered the first group of refugees.
This group seemed to have just robbed a family; almost every vagrant was carrying something on their back.
Upon seeing the group of refugees opposite him, Qin Lang led his strongest, hastily assembled team and charged forward.
At the same time, Lu Qingqing directed the villagers and the women's squad behind her to flank them from both sides.
She herself climbed onto the wall of the nearest house.
The marksman's power only begins to show after occupying the high ground.
Before the two sides could engage in a full-blown battle, Lu Qingqing aimed at the rear of the refugee group and quickly drew her bow and shot an arrow.
After clearing a small area behind them, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Lu Qingqing also carried a bow and arrows and jumped off the wall.
He then drew his long sword from his waist and charged forward.
During this time, she encountered women fighting with refugees, and she noticed something different about them.
These women are very clever; they always work in groups of three.
In terms of strength, a woman may not be as strong as a man.
However, two or three women have the advantage over one man.
In addition, they are very vigilant during combat.
After fighting for quite a while, there were no major casualties.
While Lu Qingqing was fighting, in addition to keeping an eye on Qin Lang's side, she would occasionally help the woman's side as well.
The battle lasted for about 15 minutes before it finally ended.
During this time, nearby refugees heard the commotion and came over.
Lu Qingqing also seized the opportunity and threw a few grenades to the outermost edge.
In this way, the team's injuries were not too serious.
After this battle, Qin Lang and his team were left to finish off the remaining enemies.
She then led everyone to the nearest courtyard.
Light the torch and begin treating the wound.
Two villagers and one soldier were seriously injured.
In addition, there was a woman with a long cut on her face.
The wound was so badly lacerated that the skin and flesh were turned outwards, making it look quite gruesome.
Lu Qingqing distributed the medicine and water pouches, first treating the most seriously injured.
When it was the woman's turn, she was surprisingly calm.
Hearing her sisters' words of comfort, she simply smiled.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Actually, I've been thinking about quitting this line of work for a while, but I've never had the chance.
Now, even God took pity on me and gave me a hand.
From now on, I will work hard and earn a living.
If you encounter an orphan, you can adopt a child later and that will be enough to support you in your old age.
