Right in front of them, two teams were engaged in a fierce fight, and the sound of swords clashing was quite sharp.
The larger team was dressed in night clothes, with only their eyes exposed. They acted decisively and their every move was a killing move.
The other team was composed entirely of girls, with only ten people in total. The most conspicuous one among them looked only about ten years old.
She was dressed in a red dress, without those cumbersome silk skirts, just a short top, with black wrist guards on her legs and wrists, and her long hair tied up high. She looked very heroic, without any childishness at all.
Not only that, although she is young, she is very experienced. She is not at all afraid of the killer on the opposite side. It seems that she can predict the opponent's attack in advance with every move. She is very comfortable with it, and the long sword in her hand will leave wounds wherever it passes.
Faced with this situation where the enemy outnumbered us, the girls did not back down at all. Instead, they showed their sharp edge and the enemy was completely wiped out in a short while.
A girl in blue came up to her and said, "Master Ning, everything has been resolved!"
Xue Zhining nodded, her face expressionless. "Okay, I see. With so many of them coming, they must have come on horseback. Take some people to look for them. The carriages are still too slow. Master and Young Master don't have that much time to wait, so they'll just ride on horseback!"
"yes!"
After saying that, several girls in blue quickly rushed into the jungle on the side of the road, and soon they brought out ten tall horses.
Xue Zhining randomly picked a horse and jumped on it, "Let's go now!"
They hadn't left yet, so Lin Changshu and the others carefully came out after hearing the noise had stopped. Xue Zhining just glanced back when she heard the noise, then abandoned the carriage and rode away.
Lin Changshu and the others looked at each other, unable to react for a moment.
Little Bell saw the familiar carriage and got excited, "Wow, a carriage!"
As she said this, she wanted to rush over excitedly, but was hugged by Lin Feng instead.
Lin Feng was speechless at the moment. There were so many corpses on the ground, why didn't his daughter see any of them, but only saw three carriages?
But they had to go over anyway, so they waited a while to be on the safe side. After making sure that those people were still, they mustered up the courage to move over.
It was so tragic, so tragic. There was blood everywhere on the ground. If you got close to it, you would feel nauseous because of the strong smell of blood.
Lin Yue looked around among the corpses with a pale face, then shook his head and said, "They are all dead!"
Upon hearing the news, the Zhao family members, who had been holding back for a long time, quickly walked to the side of the road and vomited.
Especially the women, who are relatively sensitive to smells. Plus, they are all farmers. Who has ever seen such a bloody scene? It is more cruel than slaughtering a pig.
But I couldn't vomit anything. The porridge I drank in the morning had been digested completely. At most, I could only vomit some sour water.
But Xiao Lingling seemed not to see the corpses. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, she ran to the carriage, stretched out her hand to reach the shaft and tried to climb up.
It was a pity that she was too short. When she stood in front of the shaft, only a little bit of her pigtail was visible. So no matter how hard she tried, her face turned red with exhaustion, she couldn't climb up.
Lin Changshu's face turned pale and he subconsciously wanted to smoke his pipe, but he had no choice but to put it down because he had no cigarettes.
"Don't worry about these things. They have nothing to do with us. They are wearing black clothes and are obviously not good people. Let's go!"
When Little Bell heard they were leaving, she didn't even bother to climb onto the carriage. She ran up to him and tugged at his sleeve, "Grandpa, there's a carriage. Let's get one. It's faster!"
Lin Changshu frowned and turned to glance at the three carriages.
In fact, he was also jealous. Apart from anything else, each carriage was very large, and he saw that the wood used was the best rosewood. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also sturdy when made into a carriage.
Besides, he had already seen the speed of this carriage. Now what they lacked in their escape was speed. If they used these three carriages, it would be much more convenient later.
However, the person using this carriage was not an ordinary person, and it could actually attract killers. He was very worried that using this carriage would bring trouble to his family, so after weighing it again and again, he felt that safety was more important, so he could only shake his head.
"No, this carriage is good, but these men in black are coming for those people. What if we use this carriage and are mistaken for someone else?"
Little Lingling was a little discouraged for a moment. Seeing that everyone agreed with her grandfather's opinion and turned to leave, she became anxious.
It’s not that she really likes this carriage, but everyone has been traveling for two days and is already exhausted. Last night she saw that her eldest brother’s feet were covered with blisters.
If we continue like this for a few days, who knows what will happen. Besides, someone will catch up with us soon. It is too unsafe.
So little Lingling thought about it anxiously, and finally she slapped her head with her little hands, and she found a solution!
"Grandpa, we can change the clothes of this carriage!"
Lin Changshu paused, as if thinking about the feasibility of Xiao Lingling's words. Lin Feng actually agreed with it.
"Yes, Dad. We have tools in the car. Let's dismantle these carts and use these old woods to nail a layer on the outside. If you don't look closely, you will definitely not be able to see it!"
“Yes, Dad, and we are taking a small road, so the people we meet are still few. We should go faster, even if we have some distance between us and then find a way to change back.
This carriage is a bit conspicuous, but the horses will be fine, right? When the time comes, we can just get some planks and use horses to pull the carriage, and it will go faster!"
"Yes, second brother, we are confident in our family's skills. Why don't we give it a try? It's okay for the adults to be a little tired, but the main problem is these children. They are still young. If they keep traveling like this and get sick from exhaustion, what's the point of us fleeing the famine?"
After everyone's lobbying, Lin Changshu was finally persuaded. Since he wanted to use it, he couldn't waste time.
"Well, then, get to work, old woman. Take those two pieces of rags that you use to seal the windows, put a layer of cloth on the outside, and then nail the boards on, otherwise it will show through.
You kids, don't be idle either! Get some dirt and make mud to paste on the wheels. Big brother, big brother, quickly dismantle the cart! Hurry up!
At Lin Changshu's command, everyone immediately took action. The women wrapped the carriage with rags, and the men dismantled and nailed it. In the end, only a donkey cart was left.
Fortunately, all five of the Lin family were carpenters, and the five of them, young and old, worked together. In just the time it took to stick an incense stick, the three original carriages had all changed their appearance. Even the wheels were made to look old, and a lot of mud covered them, covering up their original color.
