Chapter 53 Cruel people
The group of twenty-two people fell far behind the team until they could no longer be seen.

Zhao covered her chest with her hands, and her expression gradually became solemn.

She looked at Old Man Pan and asked as if to confirm, "Yingying will be fine, right?"

Old Man Pan once again confirmed the big knife hidden on the ox cart and said, "It will be fine. Aren't you the most familiar with their skills?"

Each of the Dragon Shadow Guards was able to fight ten people at once, and most of those bandits were a mob. The bigger problem now was those of them who stayed behind.

He called out to his three sons, "Be careful and take good care of your mother."

Gold, silver and iron all nodded solemnly.

The elderly, children, and food and belongings were surrounded in the middle, while the young and strong walked on the periphery.

Liang Ye did not ride his beloved horse, but chose to walk like everyone else.

He was extremely nervous, and his palms holding the reins were full of sweat. Now he didn't want to worry about whether the prisoners were dead or alive. The most important thing was that he and his brothers could survive.

Old Master Qi half-closed his eyes. He had a long knife wrapped in a piece of rag on his back, and a dagger was tied to his calf.

Beside him were Qi Yanniang and Qi Yong, while the rest of the Qi family had gone to the periphery.

Because they had to fight the bandits, the two teams temporarily merged together and would separate after the fight was over.

Liu Juhua had a hatchet on her waist, a broadsword on her back, and the arrows on her wrists ready to go. She pushed Lin Xiao'e inside.

Lin Xiao'e pulled the expressionless Wang Xueer.

Wang Bing'er looked at the scalpel in her cousin's hand and felt her scalp tingling. She couldn't help but whispered, "Don't rush out again when the time comes."

Wang Xueer looked at her and didn't respond.

Wang Bing'er emphasized, "Did you hear me? Don't let your uncle and aunt worry."

Wang Xueer said "Oh", turned around and walked to Yu Chuner and Yu Qiuer.

The two sisters were walking and counting the medicines in their bags. When they saw Wang Xueer coming over with a scalpel, Yu Chuner asked in confusion, "Don't you need a long knife?"

Wang Xueer turned around and showed her the small sword on her back.

Yu Qiu'er also turned around and said, "I also use a small sword. The big one is too heavy and it's hard to hold."

Yu Chuner curved her eyes and said, "We all think the same thing."

They are young and not very strong, so my aunt said that this small sword is most suitable.

She pulled out a few large purses from her shoulder bag, "Aunt also left us a secret weapon."

Wang Xueer's thin voice sounded, "What is it?"

Yu Qiuer took a purse and handed it to her, "It's chili powder. My aunt said to sprinkle it on those people's eyes."

A little girl named Xiaoshui couldn't help but said, "Isn't this too sinister?"

Liu Ru rolled her eyes. "Those are the bandits who came to kill us. This is how we should deal with them!"

As she spoke, she also grabbed a purse and hung it on herself.

Even a six-year-old girl like her understands this truth. How can this little sister, who looks older than Sister Chun'er, say such things?

Xiaoshui shut up, silently took a purse, and clenched the dagger in her hand.

My master has never taught me such a sinister trick. I have learned a lot today.

After walking for half a day, they arrived at a valley. Seeing that it was almost time, Long Sanwu asked the team to stop and pretended to set up camp.

Unexpectedly, just as the women were about to take the small stove down, shouts of fighting and killing were heard all around them.

Everyone's expression was stern, and they quickly drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

The people in the prisoner group had never practiced martial arts before, and even with the long swords in their hands, they were still unsure and their legs were shaking violently. On the other hand, the refugee group, not to mention the young men, even the women, had eyes full of eagerness to try, and were frighteningly excited.

Long Sanwu swung his shiny long sword, "Everyone, get ready—"

He chopped down the man who rushed in front of him with his sword, "Kill!"

The others shouted in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

More than 500 people came to Black Wind Village. Judging from their clothes and the degree of their weight, they should be living a good life. Everyone has a healthy complexion and a rosy face.

Old man Pan stood on the ox cart and shot down one person with one arrow. Pan Li, Pan Lian and Liu Lin beside him also kept drawing bows and shooting arrows.

The two sides quickly engaged in a fight, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard continuously.

Pan Zhong and Pan Xiao looked at each other and each took out his own hemp rope from the ox cart.

……

……

"There are women! There are so many women! Hahaha!"

"Brothers! Kill! There are so many women this time!"

"There's still a lot of food! There are lots of carts of food!"

"Kill!"

The bandits' excited shouts echoed throughout the valley. Lin Xiao'e clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with intense hatred.

Liu Juhua pulled her, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and smeared it on her face.

"Hurry! Everyone, put some dirt on your faces!" Liu Juhua shouted.

Ouch! I forgot about this before and was too excited.

The women hurriedly smeared the dirt on their faces, and when they were done, they picked up their knives and chopped at the bandits who had sneaked into the inner area.

"You bastard! You still want to take advantage of us? I'll chop you to death!" Zhao Meixiang chopped a bandit on the neck with her knife, killing him instantly. "What my sister said is right. We should chop at the neck. It's convenient and labor-saving. It's even easier than killing a chicken!"

She gestured, indicating Wu Shuxian, whose hands were shaking badly.

Wu Shuxian swallowed hard and gave Zhao Meixiang a thumbs up.

Cattle!
Zhao Meixiang raised her eyebrows triumphantly and slashed at the bandits who had broken in again with her knife.

Seeing that her sister-in-law had taken a head so quickly, Liu Juhua was not willing to be outdone. She stepped forward and stopped the man who was about to capture Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang said "thank you" and stabbed the man in the stomach with a knife, causing his intestines to rip and he died without making a sound.

Mr. Qi was shocked by the actions of these women. They were all ruthless people! They were no less ruthless than his daughter.

Qi Yanniang held a long knife and wanted to rush to the outer circle to kill him immediately, but unfortunately she was suppressed by her father and could only stay in the inner circle to pick up some fish that had escaped the net. It was not satisfying at all.

Yu Chun'er pulled Yu Qiu'er and protected the youngest Liu Ru behind her. When she saw someone rushing over, she raised her hand and threw a handful of chili powder.

When the man wailed and raised his hands to wipe his face, Wang Xueer took advantage of this opportunity to stab him in the neck with a sword.

Blood spurted out and splashed all over her face. She raised her sleeve to wipe it off, then swung her sword. The sharp blade cut open the man's belly, but the man was not dead yet. Wang Bing'er quickly stepped forward to block the long knife that was slashing towards her cousin.

Lin Xiao'e ignored her inner fear, raised the sword with both hands, and stabbed hard, piercing the man through.

Liu Ru clapped her hands in the back, "Well done! Well done!"

Liu Zhen took out a piece of pear candy and stuffed it into her mouth, scolding her unhappily, "You're the only one who talks too much, shut up!"

There were too many bandits and the fugitives were not strong enough. Even if the people on the periphery tried their best, many bandits still rushed into the inner circle.
