Chapter 583 Everything is Fate
Rumble!
Rumble!
…
A sound like thunder interrupted Du Hengbai's words.
Du Hengbai subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Although the sky is gloomy, there is no chance of thunder and rain.
But where does this sound come from, and why is it so scary?
Just as Du Hengbai was searching for the source of the strange sound, someone suddenly shouted:
"Master, please look at the mountain."
After being reminded by someone, Du Hengbai immediately looked up at the towering mountains not far away.
When he saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He now finally knew where the sound came from.
Someone rolled a few barrels down from the top of the mountain.
The sounds just made were produced when the wooden barrel hit the stones while rolling.
Du Hengbai became nervous. Was the person rolling the wooden barrel down from above an enemy or a friend?
After weighing it over, he immediately asked everyone to hide in his house while he went to check the situation.
The situation couldn't be any worse.
If they are enemies, the worst that can happen is that I die first. After all, they are not far from death now. They are all holding on, and it’s just a matter of seeing when they will fall.
If they were friends, they would be saved.
With the last glimmer of hope, Du Hengbai stumbled towards the foot of the mountain.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw several broken wooden barrels.
The wooden barrels contained bags of what looked like grain.
Du Heng's eyes turned red.
He didn't hesitate to pounce on it to confirm. When he found out it was indeed food, he immediately turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Hurry, come quickly, there is food, we are saved."
Du Hengbai's words were like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, exploding instantly.
The people from Dujiazhuang rushed over here like crazy.
When they saw the real white rice, everyone suddenly burst into tears.
Now they have food, they are saved.
Du Hengbai quickly calmed down his excitement and immediately ordered people to take the food away to cook.
After everyone left, he was the only one left at the foot of the mountain, along with the scattered pieces of wooden barrels.
He looked at the towering mountains and wondered who was coming to help him.
Who else knew that their Dujiazhuang was besieged by their enemies?
When he was first besieged, he thought about leaving here to get help.
But when we got there, we found that the rope lowered from the top of the mountain had been cut long ago.
This mountain is as smooth as if it had been cut with a knife. It is impossible to climb up without something to lean on.
Some of the tribesmen had refused to give up and wanted to climb out from here relying on their martial arts skills, but in the end they didn't even get halfway up and fell down.
So, who was the person who dropped the food from the top of the mountain?
Butler Du rushed over after receiving the news.
"Master." Butler Du's face was full of excitement:
"What's the situation now? Who sent us food?"
Du Hengbai shook his head. He was just about to say he didn't know when a thick rope suddenly dropped from the top of the mountain.
Not long after, a man in tight clothes and with a strong body slid down the mountain quickly along the rope.
Du Hengbai became nervous.
He pulled out a dagger from his bosom and stared vigilantly at the man who had fallen to the ground.
"Who are you? Who sent you here?"
Du Hengbai's voice was hoarse and fierce.
He has never seen this person.
Xu Xuesong, who had just untied the rope around him, glanced at him and said indifferently:
"My last name is Xu, Xu Xuesong, from the Xu family. Our young mistress sent us here to rescue you."
The Xu family...
Du Hengbai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked excited, "Mrs. Xu, Lin Mo?"
"Yeah." Xu Xuesong nodded.
Looking at his emaciated appearance, if they had arrived two days later, all the members of the Du family would have starved to death.
Hearing that it was someone sent by Lin Mo, Du Hengbai put away the dagger.
He apologized directly and frankly, "I'm sorry for what happened just now.
I don't know whether you are an enemy or a friend, so I pointed the dagger at you. I hope you won't be angry."
Xu Xuesong didn't take this matter to heart. After all, it was a very normal reaction.
He should be thankful that he didn't get stabbed when he fell.
When Xu Xuesong heard Du Hengbai ask him why the young lady knew about their accident and sent people to rescue them, he turned his head to look at him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"To be honest, it's because your Du family is blessed with good fortune.
That bastard Du Sheng took the wrong medicine and went looking for trouble with our young lady, and ended up in her hands.
Seeing Du Sheng's smug look and the fact that there had been no news from your Du family for a long time, the young lady guessed that something must have happened to your Du family.
So someone sent a message to me as quickly as possible so that I could come and see the situation."
Having said that, Du Sheng paused and continued:
“You know what?
We guessed that you might have been trapped for three months. Everyone thought that your Du family was probably extinct, and they felt that there was no need to come here.
Our young mistress repeatedly insisted that we come in person to confirm, so we rushed over."
Du Hengbai's eyes were filled with emotion. After a while, he finally spoke:
"Our Du family owes your young lady a great favor. I, Du Hengbai, will always remember this favor."
At the same time, he felt a little ashamed.
I feel ashamed of myself for not listening to Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Xu Shao told me before she left that it was time to cut off ties and not to be soft-hearted.
Now, because of his grandfather and his own soft-heartedness, the Du family was almost wiped out.
And his grandfather...
If he could hold on for another half hour, he wouldn't die.
Now, everything can only be said to be fate.
Xu Xuesong glanced at him and shook his head:
"The exit of your Dujiazhuang has been blocked with bricks by Du Sheng, and there are about a hundred people stationed at the exit.
I brought fewer people this time, so I can't fight them directly.
That's why it took some time to transport food from the mountain to you."
They don't have many people, and if they want to wipe out the more than 100 people outside, they need help from the people of Dujia Village.
But now, all the people in Dujia Village have lost their strength due to hunger. If we want them to help, it will take a few days for them to recover.
Xu Xuesong lowered his voice and chatted with them for a while, then climbed out of Dujiazhuang along the rope.
There are still more than a hundred people in Dujiazhuang, and the food just dropped down is not enough.
He also had to go out and bring people to buy and deliver food to them.
Looking at Xu Xuesong's increasingly smaller figure, Du Hengbai's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.
Du Sheng, he must capture this traitor and use his blood to commemorate the Du family members who died in this siege.
Steward Du's eyes were red, "If only the old patriarch could hold on for another half an hour..."
"Uncle Du, this is probably fate." Du Hengbai interrupted him and shook his head:
"Now is not the time to think about these things. We should think carefully about how to cooperate with the Xu family and kill all these people outside."
When he said this, Du Hengbai looked at him with murderous intent.
After this incident, Du Hengbai completely lost his previous naiveté, and became more determined and murderous.
Uncle Du looked pleased and said, "Master, we all listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
If the old patriarch saw the current patriarch, he would definitely be pleased.
The head of the family will definitely be able to support the Du family.
And the next few days.
Xu Xuesong did not alarm the people guarding the door, and secretly delivered food and medicinal herbs for health care to the people in Dujia Village every day.
Du Hengbai did not waste any time. After resting for a day, he led everyone in the Du family to start physical exercise step by step.
After being trapped for so long, the people in Dujia Village were already full of anger.
So everyone is sharpening their fists, ready to give a fatal blow to the outsiders at any time.
By the seventh day, the Du family had almost recovered.
So after Xu Xuesong arrived, Du Hengbai directly suggested that they could take action.
They had already discussed the action plan two days ago.
Coordinate inside and outside to catch the opponent off guard.
After Xu Xuesong confirmed that they were really fine and agreed on a time for action, he climbed out directly.
In order to knock down the wall as quickly as possible, Du Hengbai even had his men start the furnace and hit it with several large hammers.
When night fell and a whistle was heard outside, Du Hengbai, who had been lurking at the door for a long time, took his men and took up hammers without hesitation, and smashed the wall that had trapped them for almost three months.
At the moment the wall collapsed, Du Hengbai picked up his sword and rushed out first.
That night, blood became the main theme.
The screams enriched the main theme.
When everything returned to calm, the moon's bright light had already spread across the earth.
Seeing their enemies all lying on the snow, the people of Dujiazhuang cheered.
Du Hengbai exhaled a breath of cold air, "Xuesong, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."
Xu Xuesong waved at him and said, "Stop talking like that.
If you want to thank someone, you shouldn't thank me. I was just following your orders.
I'm going to take my people back, and I'll leave the cleaning up of this mess to you.
See you later! "
After saying that, without waiting for Du Hengbai to speak, he took his men away.
Du Hengbai stood there and watched Xu Xuesong and others leave.
Not until they walked away and disappeared into the darkness did he withdraw his gaze and ask someone to clean up the scene.
He will always remember Madam Xu Shao's great kindness.
