Chapter 71 Bandit Attack
Chen Wenlin was speechless after hearing this and finally left with the hay.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye picked up some firewood and went back. The fish they caught yesterday were enough to eat today.
Su Hanchu took out pickled vegetables from the bag and cooked two pots of pickled fish. He gave a pot to a few servants, and then his family members each took a baked potato and ate around the pot with chopsticks.
Compared to the hustle and bustle at the Jun and Su families' side, there was only firewood at the Chen family's side. Someone must have found some wild vegetables, roasted them, and mixed them with the steamed buns distributed by the bailiff.
Chen Wenlin and Chen Wenjie also asked the second wife of the Chen family to use hay to weave straw mats.
Mrs. Chen Fang's attention was all on Chen Siting, and she no longer cared about the Chen family.
Because Chen Siting had a child, she was treated preferentially. With Ning Chatou taking care of her, she at least had some hot water to drink, and even got half a bowl of fish soup that Su Hanchu gave to the other chariot drivers.
Su Hanchu naturally noticed the captain's attitude towards Chen Siting, and his heart sank. This Chen Siting is indeed very resourceful. It seems that he needs to be more careful recently.
Thanks to Chen Siting's good words, the Chen family dug a pit early the next morning and wrapped Old Madam Chen in a straw mat and buried her before setting off.
Su Hanchu kept an eye on the Chen family's movements for several days, but until the snow melted and the Jun and Su families continued to carry their luggage separately, he did not see any movement from the Chen family.
Because the weather had warmed up in the past two days, no one froze to death, only two people died of illness on the road.
That day, the sun appeared for a while before being ruthlessly blocked by dark clouds like a huge gray quilt.
As the cold wind whistled and blew against people's thin and frail bodies, everyone's mood became heavier with the weather, as if they were oppressed by an invisible sense of depression, making people fearful and helpless.
As the sky grew darker and they still hadn't found a place to stay for the night, anxiety was spreading wildly among the crowd.
Jun Moye suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind and immediately pounced on Su Hanchu.
"careful…………"
The two men fell to the ground.
A sharp arrow shot into Liu Shan's arm.
"ah…………"
At the same time, several "thump...thump..." sounds suddenly came from the air, and more than a dozen feather arrows shot from the front.
In an instant, more than ten people fell down.
"ah…………"
"Wow…………"
"Mother…………"
"Father…………"
"Wan'er......"
All kinds of shouting and crying filled the air.
The bailiff quickly drew his sword to block the arrow.
"Everyone, get down, get down..."
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu looked at each other, and quickly and tacitly took the bags to cover themselves, then rolled to Jiang Like's side, stood up the snowmobile, and blocked the sharp arrows flying in front.
"Hurry, crawl over here."
The people from the Jun and Su families hurriedly crawled over and squatted behind the sled.
"Mother, mother, please don't die... What should I do with Hua'er? What should I do?"
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye both saw Jun Mohua hugging Aunt Qian and crying, and there was a sharp arrow in Aunt Qian's heart and another on her shoulder.
Jiang Like quickly stepped forward to stabilize the bobsleigh, and Lu Zhan also hurried forward to hold the bobsleigh together.
Jun Moye rolled over, grabbed Mo Hua and returned to the back of the sleigh. All this happened in the blink of an eye.
There were also a few people from the Su family who were injured, but they dodged quickly and were not hurt in vital areas. Su Lichuan, Wei Furong, Su Lishan, Su Yuanzhe and other people who knew martial arts protected the other members of the Su family behind them.
At the same time, someone took out a backpack with quilts to block the sharp arrows.
Many others who were slow to react were killed and killed on the spot.
Chen Siting hid behind the carriage early on.
The cries of the injured child, the desperate cries of the mother, and the angry cries of the father echoed in everyone's ears. It was extremely tragic...
When You Cha Tou saw so many people injured and dead, and even the escorts were injured, his eyes were filled with anger.
"How dare you ambush an imperial official? What do you think of the imperial law?"
The sharp arrow finally stopped.
A rough voice came.
"Imperial officials? What are they? What about the law? In Qianling Mountain, I am the law."
I saw a bearded man about forty years old. His face was difficult to make out the shape. It was covered with black hair, covering his mouth and even half of his face. His eyes were fierce.
Behind him followed a group of people wearing mostly gray and black clothes and with messy hair.
The leader of the Wancha clan held his sword and shouted harshly.
"You are just a bunch of bandits, how dare you! Do you know who you are intercepting?"
The bearded man glanced at the injured people sitting on the ground, and then glanced at the injured escort.
"I thought they were some rich and powerful people, but they are just some exiles. I don't even take them seriously."
There was coldness in You Chatou's eyes, and he tightened his grip on his sword. This time the bandits were really looking for death, and he was about to say something.
The bearded man had already spoken.
"Brothers, take action! Kill all the men and take the women back to the village to be your wives..."
Su Hanchu took out two swords from his cloak, gave one to Jun Moye, and then stood in front of the Jun family.
"A woman with a child stood in the middle..."
He shouted as he faced the bandits' swords.
Jiang Like and several others also took out daggers, or just sticks, and dealt with the bandits.
All the men in the Su family know martial arts. Su Lichuan dealt with a bandit with a gloomy face. Wei Furong stood by Zhou Xuewei with a dagger and a wooden stick, while Zhou Xuewei protected Su Yuanxu.
Jun Moye accurately inserted his sword into the neck of a bandit.
Youcha Tou fought with the bearded man.
Su Hanchu blocked a bandit's broadsword with the sword in his right hand, and with a flip of his left wrist, a small knife appeared and stabbed into the enemy's heart. With a scream, the bandit fell backwards.
Jun Moye kicked the bandit who was rushing towards him hard, kicking the bandit out and smashing him hard to the ground. At the same time, the sword in his hand stabbed into the body of another bandit.
Youcha Tou and the bearded man fought each other and it was hard to tell who was better.
The situation of the Jun and Su families was slightly better, but the other families were in a terrible state, with people constantly dying at the hands of bandits.
Of course, with the decisive killing actions of Su Hanchu and Jun Moye, and the several martial arts masters from the Su family who took the lives of the bandits with one move, many bandits fell.
Suddenly there was a special smell in the air.
Su Hanchu quickly covered his nose.
"Jun Moye..."
Jun Moye also noticed something was wrong. He covered his nose with his left hand and dealt with the bandits around him with his right hand.
As the drug took effect, the exiles fell one by one, and the escorts and others who reacted also collapsed.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye looked at each other and fell to the ground...
