The sound of the refugees' riot soon reached Yu Qingqing.
"Dad, Mom, someone is rushing over here," Yu Qingqing shouted beside the ox cart. She had just gotten off the cart to rest and had no time to care about it.
"Mom and Dad, let's run to the woods. We can find a place to hide there. We don't have anything to hide here." Yu Qinghai's sharp eyes spotted a maple forest not far away.
"Hurry, Qing'er, hold your mother and run. I'll cover your retreat. Xiaohai, hold your brother and follow your mother and the others." Yu Qingshu saw that the situation was critical. The refugees were about to arrive. There was no point in asking the village chief, so he could only hope for the best.
"Qing'er, Xiaomei, listen to your father and follow us." Hua Qinglu was extremely anxious when he heard that there were refugees coming.
"Mom, but what about the ox cart? What will we eat if we lose it?" Yu Qingqing saw a cart full of things and couldn't bear to throw it away, but she also didn't dare to put them into the space openly, otherwise she would be treated as a monster.
"Qing'er, listen to your mother and leave quickly. Take this bag of pancakes with you, and I'll check the situation later." Yu Qingshu didn't care about the present, and hurriedly pushed Yu Qingqing to other places, preparing to stay behind to cover their retreat.
"That's right, little sister, hurry up and leave! The refugees are coming soon, and no one can escape." Yu Qinghai felt a chill in his heart as he watched a group of refugees with machetes rushing towards him from a distance.
"Run! The refugees are here to rob us! Everyone, run for your lives, and forget about food." Yu Qingshu looked at the villagers getting closer and closer and shouted loudly to warn the other villagers.
Soon, all kinds of shouting were heard in the crowd, and a team of several hundred people was dispersed by the refugees.
"Men in the village, pick up your weapons and fight to protect your families and children." A loud voice rang out, and the villagers, who had been frightened by the refugees, began to calm down.
They picked up everything around them that could be used as weapons and rushed in the direction of the refugees, trying to buy as much time as possible for their families to escape.
"Men, move forward! Don't be afraid. Women and children, run into the woods." Soon, the men in the crowd began to move forward, and the women and children all ran into the woods.
"Stop them quickly, women! Run!" The refugees were very fast and soon rushed into the crowd. Many people did not have time to run away.
"Please let us go! I'll leave all my things to you, don't kill me. Here, all for you." A young woman holding a child in her arms was spotted by a wretched-looking man because she ran a little slower.
"My dear, I want your things, and I want you too," the man said, extending his hand toward the woman.
"No! Please, please, let us go! Don't kill me and my child. I don't want to die yet. Take the food away, I'll give it to you. I'll do anything. Please, let me and my child go." The young woman was stunned by the large knife in front of her. She only begged for mercy and forgot to struggle or escape.
"Don't worry, my beauty! How could I bear to see you die? What would I do if you died?"
The wretched man stretched out his arms and embraced the young woman. Faced with the approach of the stranger, the woman's face was filled with fear. She was so frightened that she forgot to struggle and her body trembled uncontrollably.
The child in her arms looked only about two years old, a boy. Seeing him and his mother being held by a strange man, he was also terrified. He could only burst into tears, completely unaware of what was happening.
"No, not here. My man is over there and we'll see him."
The young woman felt the restless hand of the obscene man, and thought that she had compromised because she was afraid of death. If her man knew about it, he would definitely beat her to death, so she wanted to stop the obscene man's actions.
"What are you afraid of? We have so many brothers. We don't even know whether your man can survive, my little beauty! I can't wait any longer, so don't hesitate. Why are you still pretending at this time?"
The man became impatient when he was stopped and had no patience at all. Seeing that there were too many people here and it was really inconvenient, he threw the child on the ground and half-carried the woman to a remote place.
"My child, my child! Please don't throw him down, my son." The young woman screamed heartbreakingly, watching her child being thrown away, but she could do nothing.
She began to struggle hard in the wretched man's arms. Because she was not as strong as the man, no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless, and she saw herself getting further and further away from her child.
She was extremely anxious. She no longer sat there waiting for death. She opened her mouth and bit the man's arm when he wasn't paying attention. The man felt so much pain that he knocked the woman unconscious.
This scene happened to be seen by Yu Qingqing and others, and Yu Qingqing couldn't bear to watch it.
After discussing with Yu Qinghai, they decided that one of them would go to rescue the woman and the other would go to rescue the child. Yu Qingqing would be responsible for rescuing the woman, while Yu Qinghai would pick up the child and then reunite with her.
"Brother, hurry! You go and hold the child, I'll go and take a look first."
Yu Qingqing didn't have time to say a word. She took out the sickle in her hand and found a bow and arrow that she had secretly put in the space before.
After a while, Yu Qingqing saw a wretched man staring at an unconscious woman while undressing himself beside a tree.
She found a good spot behind a large rock, drew her bow and shot the arrow directly at the man's stomach.
"Ouch, my leg, damn it, who is attacking me? Get out here. You dare to attack me, you don't want to live anymore."
Because Yu Qingqing's shooting skills were not very good, the arrow hit the wretched man's leg, but fortunately it hit him.
The wretched man was in so much pain that he could only put the knife on the ground and look at his legs. Yu Qingqing was delighted to see him put down the knife.
Not far away, Yu Qingqing concentrated his attention and silently said "put away the knife", and the big knife on the ground appeared in the space.
"Hey! Where is my knife? Who took my knife?" The wretched man looked at the knife that had disappeared in front of him, thinking about how he was suddenly shot by an arrow.
He began to feel uneasy. He looked at a rock in the distance and dragged his injured leg forward to check. No one was there. Could it be a ghost in broad daylight? The wretched man was so frightened by this thought that his legs went weak.
"Oh my god! There's a ghost!" the man yelled, not caring about the unconscious woman next to him, and ran away dragging his injured leg.
"Fortunately, I just entered the space, otherwise I would have been discovered."
Yu Qingqing took advantage of the moment when the man came to check and hid in the space. After the man left, she immediately came out again. She also took the opportunity to leave the bow and arrow in the space and did not bring it out again.
Yu Qingqing straightened her clothes and walked towards the unconscious woman.
