AWB Chapter 135 Mu Qiang
Chapter 135 Mu Qiang
Seeing that the truck loaded with supplies was about to leave, the refugees around no longer hesitated and rushed forward.
The guards also wanted to leave, but they were surrounded by the refugees. Even though they fought desperately, the number of people kept decreasing.
The refugees nearby directly chased after the three carriages loaded with supplies.
Before the three carriages even reached the official road, they were surrounded by refugees.
The two guards were directly pulled off the cart by the refugees and were quickly killed.
The two carriages were looted in an instant.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the guards jumped out of the car and fled.
Seeing that he had nothing with him, the refugees turned their attention back to the carriage and let him run away.
The refugees crowded onto the carriages, fearing that they would miss out on grabbing anything if they were too late.
When the fight started, Lu Tianming and his group quietly extinguished the bonfire.
At this time, it was dark here.
Lu Tianming and his group simply packed up their things and saw that the refugees were looting fiercely.
So he wanted to bypass the fighting area and go back to the official road from the side.
For fear of being discovered, everyone was careful not to make any loud noise.
However, just as they were about to get onto the official road, a refugee in the back shouted loudly:
"That group of people wanted to slip away. They also have carriages and must have food. Don't let them get away!"
When Lu Tianming heard this and saw that the official road was just ahead, he whipped the carriage and accelerated.
The people following behind also started running, and the noise instantly attracted a lot of refugees.
Soon, a group of refugees followed Lu Tianming and his group.
We had just seen how brutal they were when they were looting, so everyone was afraid of being caught and ran forward desperately.
Because they caught so many locusts, plus the original food and water, the cart was too heavy.
The village chief was having a hard time pushing the cart fast. Seeing his wife and children gathered around the cart to help pull it, he shouted anxiously:
"Hurry up and run! I'll catch up with you soon. If you don't run now, your whole family will die here!"
Lu Shufu was unwilling to leave his father alone and advised:
"Dad, put the cart down. If we keep pushing it, the whole family will be left here!"
The village chief was not unaware of the situation, but he knew only too well the consequences of losing food and water while fleeing famine.
The family had fled from famine before, and if they hadn't met Lu Tianming and his group, they would have almost starved to death and died of thirst.
At this moment, the village chief still wanted to persist.
If it really doesn't work, abandon the car and run away!
At this time, the two refugees running in front were almost catching up with the village chief, and the sticks were about to hit the village chief on the head.
The village chief's son, Lu Shufu, picked up a hatchet and swung it backwards, and the knife collided with the wooden stick.
However, Lu Shufu didn't have enough strength and the hatchet almost slipped out of his hand due to the recoil force.
Another refugee raised his hoe and hit Lu Shufu. The village head's wife and little daughter Lu Yuanyun screamed in fear.
Lu Qingqing turned around and saw this scene. She quickly took the arrow and put it on the string.
With a light "whoosh" sound, an arrow hit the refugee's chest and he slowly fell backwards.
Lu Shufu was also shocked when he saw the man fall down.
He quickly realized that the only person in the team who used arrows was Daya, and it was Daya who saved him!
Thinking about the cousin who was younger than him and saved his life, Lu Shufu felt not only gratitude but also other emotions.
However, he had no time to think while escaping.
He helped push the cart as the family quickly fled for their lives.
The other refugee was startled by the arrow and stopped. The village chief and his family took the opportunity to run forward a few steps and create some distance.
At this time, there were still some refugees chasing after us.
Lu Qingqing looked ahead and saw that Lu Tianming and Yao Xiancheng's families had already boarded the official road, and their speed instantly increased.
The old village chief was driving a bullock cart in front and turning onto the official road.
Lu Qingqing held on to the carriage tightly and stared at the refugees behind her.
If any refugee runs close to the village chief, shoot him with an arrow.
While Lu Shufu was fleeing, he could hear the footsteps of refugees getting closer and closer from time to time, and his heart was in his throat.
However, before he could raise his knife to resist, he heard a slight sound and turned around to see the person closest to him fall down.
As the refugees behind him fell one by one, something in Lu Shufu's mind seemed to change.
The young man was at the age when he admired the strong. Seeing how powerful Lu Qingqing was, he also wanted to learn martial arts.
It was not until the people from Lujia Village escaped that Lu Shufu had the time to think carefully about his previous thoughts.
Lu Shufu couldn't describe how he felt, he just felt something was weird.
It turns out that not everything the teachers and elders around me say is right!
In the past, everyone around me said that all other things are inferior except reading.
My classmates all looked down on those who wielded guns and sticks, and thought that learning martial arts was something only soldiers could do!
Everyone said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, including my younger sister Yuanyun. Her family didn't even allow her to learn to read, let alone practice martial arts.
At that time, Lu Shufu also agreed with this idea. If a woman reaches a certain age and finds a good husband to support her, she can live a good life.
But what happened now woke him up, and Daya saved him!
Daya was a woman and had learned martial arts, but she saved him and their entire family!
Furthermore, can studying really save the country? Can it allow the entire village to escape safely? Can it protect my parents and sister?
Lu Shufu had deep doubts in his heart until the team stopped to rest.
His parents took him and his sister to thank Daya with gifts, and he was still thinking about this matter.
Little did I know that it was because of this change of thought.
The world has lost an unsuccessful scholar, but gained a victorious general who is a master of military strategy.
Lu Tianming and his group ran for several hours and only stopped when it was almost dawn.
Everyone was exhausted after escaping.
Lu Tianming left the official road and found a small road to stop and rest.
He arranged for several people to take turns on guard, and the rest lay down and fell asleep.
Not long after I slept, it was dawn.
Most people got up, hung the grasshoppers on the roof of their car, and went back to sleep.
It was not until around 9:00 PM that everyone got up.
After each family had a simple breakfast and fed the livestock, everyone continued on their journey.
The sun was shining brightly as usual today, and the people from Lujia Village who were on their way were suffering from the sun.
But thinking that the grasshoppers on the roof can be dried and more food can be stored, it seems worth it.
Because they had breakfast late, Lu Tianming and his group did not stop for lunch, but unexpectedly ran into the team that was robbed last night.
At this time, there were four people in the team, including the young master, and they were having lunch.
The young master was nibbling on the dry bread, while the other three were squatting beside him, holding only a water bag in their hands and not eating anything.
When they saw Lu Tianming and his group, they were very alert and obviously recognized them.
The two guards escorted the young master onto the carriage, and then looked at them warily with knives in hand.
Seeing this, Lu Tianming wanted to lead the team forward.
The guard leader waved his hands at the other two, signaling them to relax.
