Li Lanzhen looked at her mother and Xue Bao's mother, who were lying unconscious on the straw mat.
He quickly took out a first-aid kit, which was full of external wound medicine.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you rest for a while and bandage them up. First, wash the wounds with this water, then sprinkle this medicine powder on them, and then wrap them with this white gauze."
San Niu and Han Yibo quickly said, "Grandma, let's do it together."
Li Lanzhen was worried about leaving them there.
He took out four firecrackers and a lighter, handed them to San Niu and Han Yibo, and showed them how to use them. How to use them!
"Remember, if anyone who isn't from our family tries to come in and hurt you, light this and throw it at them. Don't be afraid!"
Knowing how powerful the firecracker was, the two children nodded vigorously and said with determined eyes, "Grandma, don't worry, go and save Aunt and Sister."
At this moment, Han Yuemei, Linglong, Miaomiao, and Lingdang, four girls, were thrown onto a cart. There were four or five other girls on the cart, all lying there silently. Three big men pulled the cart and laughed loudly.
"Damn, this deal was fantastic! Today's girls are all top-notch. If we send them to the brothels in Youzhou City, we can get a lot of money back."
The three men were smugly pulling their cart, swaying and staggering, as they headed out of the mountains.
A man suddenly rushed over from the side and slashed the cart puller down with a single blow.
The other two were stunned for a moment, then charged over wielding their broadswords.
Several people started fighting.
It turned out to be Xue Bao.
Although Xue Bao was on duty today, he kept a close eye on the direction of his own thatched hut.
Just as they noticed something unusual happening in Zhoujia Village, he blew his whistle without hesitation.
The guards and the people of Hanjiacun immediately assembled, gathering the women and elderly together, while the men, armed with large sticks and broadswords, stood guard.
Just as they were getting ready, the people from Zhoujia Village, along with a dozen or so unfamiliar burly men, rushed over and surrounded them.
Xue Bao was preparing to command his guards to charge forward.
Then I heard the whistle blaring from the direction of my house.
At this moment, Zhou laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
"Hahaha, Han Shunde, quickly hand over all the grain in the village to me, or the entire family of that vile old woman Li Lanzhen will suffer a terrible fate!"
Haha, by this time their daughter must have been drugged and taken away in the car.
That awful old woman and her family must have been beaten to death, right?! Hahaha! They deserved it!!
As for the men of that family, we lured them all away to the mountainside for a stroll!
Upon hearing this, Snow Leopard charged forward like a leopard and slashed Zhou Shi across the waist.
Blood splattered everywhere as Zhou cried out in agony, and she collapsed to the ground, wailing incessantly.
Xue Bao ran while shouting, "Han Zhaoxiong, this is your responsibility. Fight them to the death! It's either them or us! You decide what to do!"
With that, he rushed out. Xue Bao was worried about Han Yuemei and headed straight for the mountain pass.
Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up, three people were seen pulling a cart ahead.
There were more than a dozen girls lying on the car.
She's obviously been drugged.
As he ran closer, he saw Han Yuemei's hand hanging outside the carriage.
She wore a bracelet made of small walnuts that she had given her.
The usually lively and cheerful girl was now lying silently on the cart, and his heart ached.
He sped up and rushed over, then slashed one person.
Although Xue Bao had hunting experience, he was still just a child, and he gradually lost ground against two tall and heavy men.
However, both men had been stabbed several times by Xue Bao, and were covered in blood.
This further enraged the two of them.
The two men attacked from both sides, pointing their knives at the snow leopard and saying, "You little brat, get out of the way! Stop trying to be a hero, or I'll wipe you out!"
Bao Xuebao said, "Before you kill me, I'll kill you first!"
After saying that, he turned around and stabbed the person behind him with a vicious blow.
The knife pierced the man's waist, causing him to bleed profusely and kneel on the ground, temporarily incapacitated.
The man standing in front of Xue Bao seized the opportunity and slashed at his chest.
Xue Bao ducked and rolled to his side, getting behind him and stabbing him in the lower back with a knife.
The two men, stabbed, knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with sorrow as they stared intently at Xue Bao.
When they tried to recall it, Xue Bao wouldn't give them another chance.
After dealing with the three people, Xue Bao turned around and went to the cart. He gently hugged Han Yuemei, patted her cheeks repeatedly, and called out, "Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei!"
Seeing that he couldn't wake her, Xue Bao, fearing that she might encounter bad people again, put her back on the cart and pulled it back to his own thatched hut.
On the other side, the people of Zhoujia Village and a dozen burly men surrounded the people of Hanjia Village and Lujiazhuang Village.
Xue Bao slashed Zhou Shi with his sword, immediately triggering a major battle between the two sides.
The women from families in Hanjiacun who had lost their daughters also grabbed kitchen knives and hoes and joined the fight.
Several of them ganged up on one person, demonstrating exceptional fighting prowess!
A chaotic battle broke out here, with Han Yinan, Gou Dan, Su Chen, and a few others wielding red-tasseled spears, focusing their attacks on the lower bodies of the attackers.
Those guys who were poked by the red-tasseled spears howled in frustration. Unfortunately, they were small and clever, and they used the tactic of poking once and then moving to another place. So they couldn't be caught or hit, which made them howl in anger.
The elderly and younger children took out their own pots and pans, filled them with sand and gravel, and handed them to the women. The women picked up the pots and pans filled with sand and gravel, rushed in front of their men, shouted for them to get out of the way, and immediately threw a pot of sand and gravel out.
Caught off guard, the person on the other end immediately groaned and rubbed their eyes.
The men from Hanjiacun and Lujiazhuang took the opportunity to attack with large knives.
The children of the Red-Tasseled Spear Squad immediately stepped forward, holding their red spears and thrusting them forcefully! Thrusting! Thrusting!
Despite suffering numerous knife wounds and beatings from sticks, the people of Hanjiacun and the men of Lujiazhuang stubbornly protected the elderly, children, and women behind them.
The women were equally assertive, employing various methods to strike back at their opponents.
A fierce battle ensued under the scorching sun.
Suddenly, a voice pressed the pause button.
"Stop it, all of you!! Anyone who dares to touch me again will have their head chopped off!!"
The people of Hanjiacun and Lujiazhuang all stopped.
Then they saw a big man holding the old village chief tightly in his hand, with a gleaming knife held to the old village chief's neck.
Zhou, who was lying on the ground and roaring, saw this scene and kept pounding the soil around her, shouting fiercely, "Why don't you rush up and grab the grain, take away their livestock, grab their women and children, and sell them all into brothels?"
"Arrest all the men, young and old, and send them to those conscripts to be human shields and scapegoats!"
In a flash, the people from Zhoujia Village and the dozen or so burly men rushed towards the old and young people of Hanjia Village.
The old village chief watched as these damned villains—the old people, children, and men—rushed towards Han Family Village.
Ignoring his own safety, he shouted, "Boss! As the village chief, why aren't you leading everyone in a rebellion?! Kill these bastards and don't worry about your father! I've lived long enough."
As he spoke, the old village chief tilted his head back forcefully, slamming it hard against the man behind him. Then he ducked to the side and rolled towards Han Family Village.
Han Zhaoxun looked at his grandfather, who had a gash on his neck from a large knife, and was walking towards him, his body covered in blood.
With lightning speed, before the burly man could charge at him, he grabbed his grandfather and rushed back to Han Family Village.
The guards and the men from Hanjiacun immediately formed another encirclement.
Wielding their broadswords and clubs, they struck the charging villains even harder this time.
The burly man who had kidnapped the old village chief and was about to threaten Han Family Village shouted angrily as he looked at the old village chief who had been rescued by Han Zhaoxiong.
"Damn it, chop these blind bastards up! Stealing food, women—"
Before he could finish speaking, with a "whoosh," an arrow flew over and pierced his throat.
His eyes were wide open, his hand gripping the large knife, and he fell straight backward to the ground with a thud.
