Chapter 833 Dumplings Pulling a Sled
"Help! There are a lot of thieves at Uncle Wu's house on the west side of the village!"
"Quickly, hurry and save them!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Dahai no longer bothered to search house to house.
He called to the villagers behind him and hurriedly ran towards Uncle Wu's house.
When they arrived, a fierce battle was raging on the scene.
The merchants and villagers clashed, each slashing at the other with a knife.
Before you could see, there were already quite a few corpses lying on the ground.
Sun Dahai and a group of people from Fushan Town rushed over with their weapons in hand.
With their arrival, the people of Toyama Town, who were almost in despair, were revitalized.
Seeing a renewed hope for survival, they fought even harder.
At this moment, Wang Fugui was standing at the back of the crowd with several trusted confidants.
Upon seeing reinforcements arriving from Fushan Town, his brow furrowed deeply.
The fact that these people were able to come from the village means that the brothers he sent out to plunder those wealthy families are very likely gone!
Even if reinforcements arrive, their numbers will far exceed those of the villagers.
But what died were about thirty brothers!
Wang Fugui felt increasingly distressed and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, once we take down these people in Fushan Town, we'll have a victory celebration tonight and reward everyone for their contributions!"
After he shouted that, his brothers in front of him fought even harder.
However, this also allowed Lu Qingqing, who was observing the situation from the outside, to spot him.
After determining Wang Fugui's location, she quickly moved towards it.
Seeing her leave, Qin Lang drew his sword and followed.
At this moment, Wang Fugui was unaware of the impending danger.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly favorable to his side, he simply put the knife in his hand on the ground, appearing completely relaxed.
Seeing this, the third and fifth brothers next to him offered their compliments.
Unfortunately, before he could say more than a few words, the third brother on the far side was shot through the temple by an arrow.
Wang Fugui only realized the danger when he heard the sound of his third brother falling to the ground.
In a panic, he immediately lay down on the ground.
Because of his sudden movement, the arrow missed its mark and flew past the fifth brother's shoulder.
After seeing where the arrow was coming from, the fifth brother immediately crouched down and ran towards the battlefield ahead.
When they fled, they didn't forget to take Wang Fugui with them.
The two men, one crouching and the other prone, rushed quickly toward the battlefield ahead.
Whether it was a sudden burst of potential in the face of life and death, the two of them rushed into the crowd and disappeared without a trace in just a moment.
Lu Qingqing thought to herself that it was a pity, and nodded to Qin Lang, who was standing guard beside her.
He then drew his broadsword from his waist and charged forward with Qin Lang.
Years of combat experience have made their swordsmanship more concise and practical.
At this point, almost one or two slashes would be enough to kill a person.
Thanks to their long-standing training and tacit understanding, they managed to avoid injury.
Fifteen minutes later, the battle finally ended.
Uncle Wu was helped out from behind the crowd.
Seeing the scene littered with corpses, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
But this was not the time for sentimentality. He forcibly suppressed his sadness and gave the order:
"Many of those merchants escaped."
This group is ruthless and has a blood feud with us.
We absolutely cannot let them escape, or the consequences will be dire!
Those who were more seriously injured remained where they were.
The rest of you, follow Cheng Kun and chase after them! You must bring those people down with you!
Sun Chengkun agreed and raised the torch high in his hand.
"Fellow villagers, come with me!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and ran ahead.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang followed closely behind him, running and observing their surroundings as they went.
The group quickly headed towards the front street.
Amidst the rustling of the wind and snow, only the sound of people running could be heard.
As she ran towards the corner of the street, Lu Qingqing suddenly heard a noise coming from the ditch next to her.
It was pitch black at night, and we couldn't see what was happening in the ditch at all.
She threw the torch in her hand directly towards the direction from which she had heard the noise.
The torch was still burning when it fell into the ditch.
On the snow at the bottom of the ravine, three injured merchants were lying on the ground.
When the three merchants realized their location had been exposed, they hurriedly got up and tried to escape.
Sun Dahai was now somewhat bloodthirsty, and upon seeing enemies at the bottom of the ditch, he was ready to jump down and fight.
As she passed by Qin Lang, he grabbed her arm.
Worried that he would disturb Lu Qingqing's movements, Qin Lang moved him to the side.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing had already taken out her bow and arrow and shot the man who ran to the front dead with one arrow.
Then came the second and third arrows.
Before the group of men traveling with them could give chase, they saw three merchants being shot dead.
Many people in the crowd knew that she and Qin Lang were skilled in martial arts.
Unexpectedly, her archery skills were also so impressive.
They were secretly relieved that these two people had come to their village.
If they were on the merchant side, who knows if anyone in their village would be alive tonight!
Sun Chengkun was the first to react. He nodded to Lu Qingqing and led the group to continue chasing after them.
When the group arrived at the courtyard where the merchants were located on the main street, they found the courtyard gate wide open.
The backyard, which used to be filled with trucks, is now empty.
The messy tire tracks on the ground further indicated that these people had already fled.
Upon seeing this, Sun Chengkun cursed under his breath.
He led his men into the house and quickly checked everything.
After confirming that no one was there, they left five people with minor injuries to clean up the yard.
Immediately afterwards, he led the remaining people and chased after them.
In this kind of weather, the snow on the road is very thick, and the horse-drawn carriage can't run fast.
If they quicken their pace, they still have a chance to catch up.
The group trudged through the thick snow, following the tire tracks as they went.
The carriage tracks dispersed as the town left.
Judging from the marks, they went in four different directions.
Seeing this, Sun Chengkun separated the people.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang chose a separate path.
The two had only been outside for a short while when snowflakes began to fall again.
I'm worried that if the snow falls even heavier, it will cover the tire tracks.
However, given the current road conditions, even riding a horse wouldn't be fast enough, and it wouldn't be safe either.
Chasing on foot is both tiring and slow.
A sudden inspiration struck Lu Qingqing. After searching through her spatial storage, she finally found a simple homemade sled.
It was called a sled, but it was actually just made of a few planks and was very rough.
This thing was something she tied to the back of the cart to haul goods when she fled famine with the villagers.
However, there's no time to be picky now; as long as something works, it's fine.
When Qin Lang saw the sled, he understood Lu Qingqing's thoughts.
The next second, dumplings appeared on the snow.
It hadn't left the space for a long time, and when it was suddenly released, it stared blankly at the thick snow outside for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, they ran around happily in the snow.
Seeing that the guy was about to have a blast, Lu Qingqing quickly called it over.
Only after putting a rope around its neck did I tell it my purpose.
She had no doubt about the guy's intelligence.
But she was a little worried about whether it could pull the sled.
After getting on the sled, she swung the rope.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Dumpling pulled the sled, gathered its strength, and suddenly rushed out.
Caught off guard, Lu Qingqing nearly fell backward.
After finally regaining my balance, I looked at the dumpling, which was as big as a calf.
Silently sighing, all that rabbit meat I ate before wasn't for nothing!
