AWB Chapter 109 Bloody Scene
Chapter 109 Bloody Scene
Li Lanzhen held the two children to her side.
She didn't look up. The three of them huddled in a depression. Li Lanzhen concentrated and listened to what was happening in front of her.
After listening for a while, all I could hear was the crackling sound of swords colliding.
She silently calculated in her mind the "swish, swish" sounds made by the sword piercing into the flesh.
There should be eight or nine casualties.
The moon rose and the sound of swords gradually disappeared.
Then I heard the sound of swords being sheathed, and then a low command, "Retreat!"
Then, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and in an instant, the silence of the wilderness returned to the front.
After waiting for a while, Goudan leaned close to her ear and said, "Grandma Lanzhen, there is no sound from the front. Has everyone left?"
Li Lanzhen turned and looked at Goudan. Could it be that this child also had sensitive five senses?
"Goudan, did you hear the sound of swords and knives ahead?"
"Yes, Grandma Lanzhen, my grandma said that I had very sharp ears since I was a child, and I could hear all kinds of sounds a mile away. At that time, there were many trees and pheasants in the mountains of our Hanjia Village.
I can catch pheasants with my grandmother almost every two or three days, all because my ears can hear the sounds of pheasants and accurately determine the direction where they are lying. "
Li Lanzhen smiled in her heart, I have picked up a precious dog egg.
The big hand touched his head, "Don't worry, let's lie here for a while."
After another cup of tea, there was still no sound in front. Under the bright moonlight, only the whistling wind in the wild and the chirping of insects could be heard.
Li Lanzhen estimated that the killers would not come back, so she said to the two children, "Just lie down here and don't move. Grandma will go upstairs to see what's going on. When you hear the cat meowing, come over."
The two children also answered in a low voice, "Yes, grandma. Grandma, you must be careful."
Li Lanzhen agreed, crouched down and slowly approached the place in front where fierce fighting had just taken place.
When she saw several cars and sacks of paper boxes on the official road, as well as people who were unknown whether dead or alive.
Lying in the woods, Li Lanzhen listened for a while and made sure that there was no one alive in that area. Then she half-crouched and approached cautiously.
When she stepped onto the official road, she was shocked by the bloody scene before her.
There were four vehicles on the official road, a horse-drawn carriage, an ox-drawn cart, and two donkey-drawn carts.
But now, the four carts were chopped to pieces, and the horses, cows and donkeys fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
There were still more than a dozen people lying on the ground. Without exception, all of them were stabbed by several swords. Some had their heads and bodies separated, some were covered with wounds, and some had blood gushing out of their chests.
The blood dyed the area red.
Li Lanzhen looked at everyone one by one to see if there was anyone alive.
After a careful look, I saw 13 people lying on the ground, all of them had no signs of life.
Three of them should be sons of wealthy families. They were wearing long silk gowns, but now they looked lifeless.
The others should be guards or housekeepers, and they also had no signs of life.
What hatred or grudge! This is a ruthless extermination!
Li Lanzhen checked the four carriages again. There were obvious signs of rummaging in the carriages, and there was almost nothing intact inside. Perhaps this group of people were looking for something!
Li Lanzhen saw several open boxes in the carriage. The boxes were full of books and jades. There was also a small box at the bottom, which actually contained gold and silver leaves.
Li Lanzhen was very puzzled. Could it be that this group of people didn't even care about gold and silver?
Then, what they are looking for must be more valuable than gold and silver.
What could it be? A treasure map? An imperial decree? Or a tiger talisman that can mobilize the army? ?
Oh, I'm thinking too far ahead. These have nothing to do with me!
Li Lanzhen waved her hand and put them all into the space, then checked the three cars at the back.
There was no convertible on the ox cart, it was open, and it was carrying things packed in sackcloth. Each sackcloth bag had a hole pierced by a sword. Looking at the things scattered on the ground, Li Lanzhen grabbed a handful and knew it was food.
She cursed this group of people in her heart, what bastards! In this age of natural disasters and man-made tragedies, when food is more expensive than gold, they actually wasted food like this. They deserve to die a horrible death!
Cursing, he put all the grain sacks that were not stained with blood into the space.
The ox cart had been chopped into pieces and turned over. Could it be that they suspected that what they were looking for was under the ox cart?
Li Lanzhen checked the ox cart carefully but found nothing.
Shaking her head, she continued to check the last two cars. The last two cars were pulled by donkeys. They looked simple and unpretentious on the outside, but they were actually very interesting inside.
I don’t know how these people checked it, but I guess they thought horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts were the key.
Perhaps the person who brought them the message said that what they were looking for was not available in the two cars ahead.
Li Lanzhen first checked the first donkey cart. The interior of the donkey cart was decorated quite comfortably, with low cabinets around the seats and a tea table in the middle.
Although there are signs of having been disturbed, it has not been cut by swords or knives.
So without hesitation, Li Lanzhen put all the things that could be used into the space.
Seeing a horse, a cow and two donkeys lying on the ground, Li Lanzhen quickly put them into the space.
It's better if they're alive, but if they die, just kill them and eat their meat. As for finding a reasonable explanation for them, there will be a million reasons once you go back to the valley or into the mountains.
At this point, Li Lanzhen suddenly came up with an idea.
Isn't this the best reason to take out the supplies in the space? !
God is helping me!
Thinking of this, Li Lanzhen hurriedly counted the supplies.
Only then did she remember that when Hanjiacun went down the mountain, she took away the horses that she had robbed from Ankang City and put them into the space.
We might as well take it out now and say that Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang went to the place where the horses were hidden and came back with them.
Li Lanzhen gave up thinking about the horse issue since she couldn't think of a reasonable solution.
She took out the food first, and then the bedding and cotton.
Large quantities of coarse cloth and salt, followed by farm tools, including four curved plows.
There are also many seeds, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn cobs, and vegetable seeds.
These things were piled up next to the ox carts and donkey carts like a small mountain.
She was thinking about how to get the horses out of the space.
Then I heard light footsteps ahead.
She immediately lay down and hid beside the ox cart.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Li Lanzhen concluded that there were only two people.
She held an electric baton in one hand and a big knife in the other. She held her breath and watched the four legs slowly approach the ox cart frame.
She watched calmly, and as long as they didn't notice her, she would keep silent and lie there quietly.
If you find someone, just take the initiative and kill him with an electric baton.
At this time, the two people spoke in a low voice.
"Dad, more than a dozen people are dead here, not a single one is alive, how cruel!"
Another person said, "Keep your voice down, let's see if we have any food or something, get the food and quickly go up the mountain."
The man in front said again, "My mother and the two children must not go up the mountain at this time. If they encounter those killers, it will be troublesome."
Li Lanzhen felt relieved when the first person spoke.
She knew that the two people were his son Han Mingjiang and his relative Xue Lao Hu.
She quickly put away the electric baton and machete in her hands and stood up.
"Why did you two come down the mountain?"
