PFC Chapter 895 Attacked on Return to the Village
Chapter 895 Attacked on Return to the Village
Lu Qingqing put her fur hat on tightly, tucked her hands in her pockets, and squatted down next to her prey, waiting quietly.
He didn't stand up until he saw torches and human voices ahead.
When the soldiers approached, Yan Xu, who was at the front, waved to her.
Because he went to Bai Song's place for meals every day, the two had become quite familiar with each other.
Yan Xu was no longer the aloof and taciturn man he used to be. He grinned and greeted everyone, showing off his little tiger teeth.
"Brother Lu, I heard from Brother Qin that you've gotten quite a lot of stuff!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped forward with a torch in hand.
Looking at those seven large wild boars and three sika deer.
And the pheasants and rabbits tied together with ropes were laughing so hard their teeth were showing.
"So much meat! How long will it take to eat all this!"
Wow, Brother Lu and Brother Qin, you guys are amazing!
Look at this wild boar, it's amazing how fat it can be.
If you rendered oil from this pig, you could easily make several bowls of it!
The wild boar he was referring to was actually one raised in the space, which had long been castrated.
These castrated pigs don't fight much and gain weight very easily.
Yan Xu circled his prey, looking at them from left to right, delighted no matter how he looked at them.
After touching all the wild boars and deer, he beckoned for the soldiers to carry the game down.
The soldiers were also very excited, but they remained relatively restrained due to Yan Xu's orders.
When they went forward to move the prey, they all grinned from ear to ear.
On the way down the mountain, Yan Xu followed closely behind.
They were told to be careful and not to drop the meat off the cliff.
After more than half an hour, the group finally descended the mountain.
Yan Xu directed the loading of the prey onto several vehicles.
After loading the game, some soldiers were no longer able to ride in the vehicle.
Yan Xu told them to follow at the very back of the procession, running alongside the carriage.
However, having not exercised for a long time, these soldiers began to pant heavily after running for only a short while.
The heavy breathing was even heard by Lu Qingqing, who was driving at the front of the convoy.
Yan Xu felt somewhat ashamed and made up his mind.
When I get back, I must put exercising back on my agenda.
Actually, he had this idea before.
However, none of his men wanted to go out in the winter.
Boss Bai also felt that there wasn't enough grain, so he gave up.
Looking back now, it seems that taking a walk around the village every day is still very necessary.
It can be used for both exercise and patrolling.
The soldiers who were running behind, panting and out of breath, had no idea what they would face when they returned.
About fifteen minutes after running away, Yan Xu stood up and looked back.
Behind the convoy, only a few people were scattered about.
The remaining soldiers, having fallen so far, had already blended into the night.
Left with no other option, he had to stop the car.
When the soldiers caught up, another group of people ran after them.
They continued to take turns like this until the carriage approached Toyama Town.
By this time, it was completely dark.
The lanterns at the front of the carriage swayed precariously, obscuring the view in the distance.
Just as the carriage was about to turn onto the path leading to the village, Lu Qingqing suddenly stopped it.
The vehicles following behind saw this and quickly braked to a stop.
Yan Xu, who was in the truck bed, was jolted and, after regaining his balance, asked:
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Qingqing stared at the direction she heard the noise to her left and quickly picked up the compound bow and quiver that were beside her.
There seems to be someone to our left front!
Upon hearing someone's voice, Yan Xu immediately tensed up and whispered behind him.
"Everyone, draw your knives and be on alert!"
After that shout, the people lying in ambush in the ditch ahead, knowing they had been exposed, simply rushed out.
In an instant, shouts of battle erupted.
Seeing a large group of people rushing towards them, Qin Lang quickly turned his horse around and charged towards the slope he had just come from.
The green bow and arrow can only be most effective when held high up.
He also needs to find a good position to better protect the person.
Yan Xu, who was in the truck bed, was forced to leave as well.
He looked back at the situation behind him, but wouldn't allow anyone to give orders.
"Han Tiezhu and Wang Mang, you two lead the team and hold the line."
Zhao Daniu, you take some men...
While he was giving instructions, Lu Qingqing had already stood up and was holding onto the edge of the car to observe the situation behind.
At this moment, the fighting has already reached a stalemate ahead, and the refugees will not be able to get through in a short time.
As soon as Qin Lang stopped the carriage, she shot out the arrow in her hand.
Startled by the shouts of the refugees, Little White began to neigh uneasily.
Qin Lang patted its big head reassuringly and stood guard in front of Lu Qingqing with his knife.
At this moment, Yan Xu finally found the gong that Bai Song had prepared for him in the car and started banging it.
The sound was particularly jarring in the quiet night.
At the same time, the people on duty at the lookout tower at the east end of the village also heard the commotion.
Recognizing that the rhythm was only used when there was danger, he immediately took out a gong, struck it, and ran downstairs to call for help.
The soldiers and villagers were awakened from their sleep, hurriedly dressed, grabbed their weapons, and went out.
Bai Song and his soldiers were the first to arrive. He left Zhou Peng behind to wait for the rest of the men, and led several dozen soldiers out first.
When the group arrived, the fighting was still raging in the area east of the village.
To be precise, the fighting hasn't been going on for very long.
The refugees were far inferior to the soldiers in terms of physical strength and weaponry.
Their only advantage is their numbers.
However, under the fierce fighting between Han Tiezhu and Wang Mang, the leading refugees were driven back in defeat.
At this moment, hearing that more enemy reinforcements were coming from behind, the refugees began to scatter and flee.
When Bai Song arrived, he saw the wounded soldiers and his anger soared.
He immediately ordered his men to give chase.
Yan Xu quickly stopped the people, pointed to the meat on the carriage, then to the wounded soldiers, and whispered a few words.
Bai Song glared fiercely in the direction the refugees had fled, and swung his blood-stained longsword.
"Let's go back to the village!"
The soldiers threw the bodies of the dead refugees to both sides of the road and drove the carriages back.
Before they even reached the ice wall, they saw Sun Chengkun hurriedly leading the villagers out.
Looking at the hoes, machetes, and other weapons in their hands, and then at their desperate stance, one can see the danger.
This time, even Yan Xu changed his attitude towards Sun Chengkun.
Because of what happened at the beginning, they had never gotten along.
Even if they meet in the village, they rarely greet each other.
This time, Yan Xu took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and the two started chatting.
Once back inside the ice wall, the group threw down a rope, tied it to their prey, and began pulling it up.
The villagers stared at the blood-stained prey, their eyes practically glued to it.
But each family knew their own situation; they didn't even have enough dry rations, let alone meat.
After directing the villagers to help pull the prey up, Sun Chengkun was about to head back.
Lu Qingqing called the people to a stop and pointed to one of the half-grown wild boars.
"Uncle Chengkun, the New Year is almost here."
You can take this wild boar back with you; consider it a gift from Qin Lang and me to the village.
Upon hearing this, the villagers were first stunned, then overjoyed.
Sun Chengkun was a little embarrassed.
"How can we do that? Young Brother Lu, let's chip in and buy it from you!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers who were initially overjoyed immediately calmed down.
They have no grain or money left, so it seems they won't be able to afford pork.
