Chapter 73
No matter how much you complain about the game, you still have to cut trees and store supplies. The three parties adopted a policy of non-interference. They all cut trees and collect in their own areas and never approach the other two directions.
Qiao Sheng's harvest was okay. He hunted two stupid roe deer and a sheep. This sheep was really the first time he encountered it. The two of them originally wanted to catch it and see if they could kill it. Unexpectedly, Jing'er used too much force. The sheep was also beaten. It died in a few hits. If it can't give birth, it can only eat meat with tears. Qiao Sheng even arranged the place for each piece of meat.
There is mutton hot pot, cumin mutton, and grilled lamb chops. It's just that the number of sheep is a little small, otherwise they can eat a few more meals. The sheep's internal organs are also good for making mutton soup.
Li Mu saw her mumbling to herself, and wanted to ask her if she really accidentally caused the death of the sheep. Why does it always smell like a conspiracy?
Knowing who the other two teams are, Qiao Sheng has relatively relaxed his vigilance. Usually, the two of them go in and out together, and there are old, weak, women and children there. Now, Li Mu keeps chopping trees while Qiao Sheng sends supplies back.
When Qiao Sheng was sending supplies back for the third time, he went upstairs to give Li Mu some hot water. The weather was too cold, and he needed to refill hot water urgently. He looked up inadvertently and saw two small black dots in the sea behind the ship.
After calling the system, he found out that they were two approaching ships, which were expected to drift to the island at midnight. He smelled it again and confirmed that there were four players in each ship.
After filling the glass bottle with hot water, Qiao Sheng got off the boat with two empty backpacks, and ran to Li Mu. He first stuffed the hot water into Li Mu's hand, and brought him a piece of roasted sweet potato. After he finished eating, he said that another boat was approaching, and there were eight people on the two boats.
"This time it feels wrong, I always feel unsafe. The system said that the other party will be able to drift to the island at midnight. Should we run directly or see the situation?" Qiao Sheng said as he started to pick up the wooden boards on the ground.
Li Mu was also struggling with this matter. The two discussed it and decided to collect supplies first, and then tell the people on the two ships when they returned to the boat at night.
Since they had the idea of retreating, the two began to speed up the collection. Now time is supplies, and they really can't waste a bit.
Running at full speed, Qiao Sheng sent back two more supplies before the sun went down. The last trip was full, and the two hurried back in the sunset.
When they just came out of the woods, they happened to meet the short-haired woman in the middle boat and the man in the rightmost boat.
"You two, I saw two boats on the sea drifting towards the island this afternoon. Everyone, please pay attention. We don't know what the people coming are like. We are ready to run away if things go wrong." Qiao Sheng thought about it and reminded the other party that everyone's life is not easy.
Receiving Qiao Sheng's friendliness, the two men nodded in thanks and hurried back. Qiao Sheng and the other two were not in a hurry after all, the system told them that the two ships would not arrive until midnight. As soon as they walked to the shore, they found something wrong, and they found a big rock to hide behind.
Several burly men stood together on the shore, checking their boats. Two men were holding down the old lady and the pregnant woman. The child seen before was lying on the ground motionless, and the pregnant woman was crying loudly.
The short-haired woman and the man were negotiating with eight big men. Qiao Sheng and the others were not far away, and they could hear clearly that these eight people were a group, and they came here to rob.
"What should we do? Should we run all the way to the boat and escape, or save people?" Qiao Sheng was struggling. In this situation, the most correct choice should be to protect himself, but people have an inexplicable desire to protect the weak, so the situation in front of them is very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, let's see the situation first. If they really want to kill us, we must save people, but the premise is to ensure our own safety." Li Mu is much more cautious now. If Qiao Sheng hadn't been struggling, he might have already boarded the boat and ran away to see the situation. It's not that he has no kindness, but people's hearts are different. What if those four ships are acting? They have to be prepared.
The people on the shore were negotiating. Actually, it was simple. They were just trying to steal supplies. Now the man on the boat on the right wanted to see what happened to the child lying on the ground. The robbers wouldn't let him. Qiao Sheng and his friends were far away and couldn't see the details clearly. They only knew that the child was lying there motionless.
Since the child didn't disappear, it meant that the child was still alive. Qiao Sheng was still very rational, but the child's father was obviously a little out of control.
Especially since his wife was still in someone else's hands, he could only be the fish on the chopping board. He had to give them whatever they wanted. The robbers wanted to board the boat to search for supplies. The child's father and the short-haired girl didn't stop them. They directly gave them permission to move things.
"Brother, there are quite a lot of things on this ship. I didn't expect these people to be able to survive. Is this shark boat also related to them? Let them open the rights to this boat so that we can move all of them away." A young man in his twenties who looked like a gangster got on the rightmost boat, looted it, and said to a one-eyed dragon standing next to the hostage.
"Humph, when have I ever made a mistake in my decision? We came here for this shark boat, but we didn't expect to catch the real owner, but the small shrimps are not bad. You two tell me, where are the people on this boat! Don't blame us for being ruthless if you don't tell us." The one-eyed dragon's words were full of meaning. It was obvious that he wanted to cause these players to quarrel among themselves and give them away. Qiao Sheng was so angry that he wanted to kill him now.
"We have always been acting alone, we don't know each other, how can we travel together? What if they are bad guys? We are collecting supplies in the forest, they must still be in there. I saw them going into the forest this way before I set out this morning." The short-haired woman pointed into the forest.
Qiao Sheng wanted to run to the boat directly after hearing the first half of the sentence. It would be fine if he didn't save such a person. When he saw the direction the short-haired woman pointed, he thought he could save them. She pointed to the far right of the forest, but they were walking to the far left.
"She is quite smart. Did she think we were lying in ambush here?" Qiao Sheng said in a low voice.
"I think so too. She looked at us several times when the robbers weren't paying attention." Li Mu was not sure why the other party looked at this direction before, but now it seems that she must have known that they were lying in ambush. "
You are sensible. We will requisition this boat. Tie up these people and take the young women to our boat. The old woman, the man and the child will be thrown into the forest to fend for themselves. We will wait for the players on the shark boat for a while. Let's go back and have some fun first." The one-eyed dragon reached out and touched the pregnant woman's face.
The man on the right boat went berserk almost the moment the one-eyed dragon touched him. The child was lying on the ground and his wife was about to be insulted. If he didn't take action, would he still be a human being!
The short-haired woman closest to him took out a machete from her bag and prepared to rush up when she saw this situation.
Qiao Sheng and Li Mu had already put their arrows on the bow while they were talking. They had agreed that one would shoot at the one holding the pregnant woman and the other would shoot at the one behind the old lady. It was most important to rescue the hostages first.
Almost at the same time when the pregnant woman's face was touched, two arrows flew straight at the faces of the two robbers. They were caught off guard and were shot at once. Then they turned into a white light and disappeared without leaving any blood. The incident was so sudden that the one-eyed dragon didn't react. How could his brother disappear just after he touched his face?
The father of the child went straight to the one-eyed man, swinging the machete. The one
-eyed man had no power to defend himself. He didn't even have time to take out his weapon before he was chopped into a bloody gourd. There was also the scoundrel nearby. He did take out his weapon, but Qiao Sheng's arrow shot him in the leg, and the short-haired woman knocked him out with the machete.
The four people who were still looting supplies on the two ships came out to see what was going on when they heard the movement. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu shot several arrows at their legs again, and they all fell to the ground. Those who wanted to resist were subdued by the father of the child and the short-haired woman, who used hemp ropes to tie up the remaining five people like meat dumplings.
Qiao Sheng and his men then walked out from behind the boulder. When they reached the shore, they ignored the robbers and went to see the little girl lying on the ground first.
Only then did we know that the child's head was smashed, with a bloody hole still bleeding. He was breathing out more than breathing in. No wonder the child's father went berserk. No parent could bear to see their child like this.
"We have medicine. If you believe us, we will treat the child now. If you don't believe us, forget it." Li Mu looked at the child's father with bloodshot eyes and stood in front of Qiao Sheng who was holding the child.
"You guys treat him. I believe you. Wife, are you okay?" Just the few arrows shot by the two of them just now could convince people. The child's father quickly went to convince his wife. The pregnant woman was lying on the ground holding her belly.
"Honey, I'm fine. I'm going to check on Ningning and the old lady first. The robber just wanted to hit me, but Ningning and the old lady resisted. The child was thrown onto a stone and hit, and grandma was also kicked by them. I was just worried and my stomach hurts a little. There's nothing else wrong." The pregnant woman covered her stomach and hurried to reassure the other party.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Where did you get kicked?" Upon hearing this, the short-haired woman hurried over to support her grandma and carefully checked her.
"It's okay. I was just kicked in the groin and my knee hit a stone. Didn't you sew a knee pad for me? I'm wearing it. It doesn't hurt at all." The white-haired old lady also moved her legs and feet to reassure her granddaughter.
Qiao Sheng's treatment method was rough and simple, just like the treatment of sea turtles and killer whales. He poured Panax notoginseng powder on the wound and cut the artificial skin film to the appropriate size. The only problem was that the girl's hair was a little long, so it was not easy to stick it on.
"Well, the child's parents, there is a situation now. Can you shave your daughter's head? The wound is not easy to bandage." After all, she is a daughter. If you put yourself in her shoes, you will love to be beautiful when you are five or six years old. If you really shave yourself bald, you will cry to death when you wake up. So the decision should be made by the child's parents.
"Shave, shave, hair can grow back, life is more important." The child's father immediately put down his wife, afraid that Qiao Sheng would not dare to do it, so he took out a small dagger and shaved a large area of the little girl's head in a few strokes.
"Hey, you don't need to shave so much, just let me bandage it. This little girl will cry to death when she wakes up, and you will make her look like a Khitan." Qiao Sheng decided to turn a blind eye and quickly put the skin film on. The pretty girl had a bald spot on her head.
