Chapter 170 Missed
"Brother Lin, can you teach the people in our village?"
Village Chief Dong gave a most gentle smile.
“They learned it and traveled faster.
It’s still more than 500 miles to Guanghe County. In previous years, it would take more than ten days to get there in this kind of weather.”
"Okay, let them learn together. Are there any carpenters in the village?" Lin Erzhuang agreed readily.
It would be best if everyone learned to ski, which would greatly shorten the journey time.
You don’t have to suffer in this snowy and icy environment. It’s the best of both worlds.
"Yes, the old man Wu sitting on the ox cart is the carpenter. His craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable."
Village Chief Dong pointed at the old man who was resting with his eyes closed on the ox cart.
"His son is also a carpenter."
"That's good, we'll go discuss it with them right away."
When Lin Erzhuang heard that there were two carpenters, he immediately went to find them to talk about making skis.
Although he and his father-in-law knew how to do it, they didn't have the tools and materials to do it.
If you want him to expose your daughter’s secret, you’d better forget it and go to bed!
...
"Be careful, there are people ahead." Lin Erzhuang warned while looking at the crowd not far away.
It was the first time I encountered refugees after leaving the nameless village.
That group of people had two sleds and three carriages, so they should be quite powerful.
Soon, the refugees in the front pointed at the ones behind them, and some even drew their knives and glared at them.
"Get your stuff ready and don't get too close," Lin Erzhuang reminded.
"Dad, you drive the car and I'll carry the twins into the car."
"Okay, be careful."
Wu Yidao put his sword behind his back, took the reins and sat on the driver's seat.
Lin Shu's eyes sparkled, she rubbed her hands and pulled out the iron spear hidden under the carriage.
He turned over to the driver's seat and whistled to call Baozi back.
"Grandpa, can you see the big stuff ahead?"
"Hahaha, you are just too idle!"
Old man Wu glanced at his well-behaved grandson who had been quiet for less than two days.
"Hehe, I won't move unless the enemy moves. If the enemy moves, I will strike with lightning speed." Lin Shu said, shaking her head.
It’s too lonely to travel, so you have to find some fun for yourself.
"Well said, if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone.
If someone offends me, I will offend him."
"Tsk tsk, I never knew grandpa was so knowledgeable!"
"Hahaha, grandpa has eaten more salt than you have drunk water, so he naturally understands more."
Wu, who was in the carriage, hid the twins behind her.
Hearing my father and daughter chatting and laughing, my tense mood eased a little.
He wiped the sweat from his palms and cursed himself for being useless.
I've killed bandits and northern barbarians before, so why should I be so nervous?
...
The team in front slowed down, and Lin Erzhuang waved when he saw that they were about to stop.
"Speed up and pass through. Don't let your guard down."
Baozi, wearing a wolf collar, walked in front with his teeth bared, and gave low warnings from time to time.
In the queue that parked by the side of the road, some people stared at the buns with shining eyes.
I glanced at the group of people behind me, who were obviously half as many as me, and calmed down my restless heart.
"Woo~woo"
Wu Chunxiang was tied up in the carriage with someone's smelly socks stuffed in her mouth.
She saw Baozi passing by through the seam of the carriage and twisted her body with excitement.
Under her messy hair, tears slid down her face and the tip of her tongue pushed hard against the stinky socks.
'Woo~'
‘Pa~’
A hand fell heavily on Wu Chunxiang's head, and a quilt covered her head.
Everything is calm.
When the two carriages passed each other, Lin Shu's ears moved slightly and she glanced at the ordinary carriage.
The carriage was so tightly covered that nothing could be seen.
She imagined the carriage filled with huge boxes, each one gleaming with gold.
Just thinking about it.
The two teams safely distanced themselves from each other, but Uncle Wu kept looking back.
I always feel that the carriage looks familiar, but I can't provide any evidence.
After all, all carriages in the world look the same, and you can't say that one is yours without any evidence.
But I felt anxious, I didn't know what was going on.
"Second brother, what are you looking at?" Uncle Wu turned around and asked in confusion.
"I think that carriage looks a lot like the one that was robbed from our house."
"There is no such a coincidence in the world. Even if it was the car that was robbed, there is no way to get it back.
Unless you take it back.”
Uncle Wu San's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.
There are many people on the other side carrying knives, so it’s better not to cause trouble for us.
It’s important to hurry!
Wu Chunxiang, who was in the carriage, fainted from crying when she heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away.
There were three little girls tied up in the carriage.
The pretty little face looked haggard, with obvious marks of slaps and pinching.
What Uncle Wu didn't know was that the daughter he had been thinking about had just passed him by.
...
"Brother Lin, we have to hurry up.
The next stop is called Qimapo, which is still more than thirty miles away." Village Chief Dong reminded.
“Qimapo is very similar to the name of Shanjiepo.
It can’t be another bandit den!” Lin Erzhuang frowned.
He stared into Village Chief Dong's eyes, hoping to see something from them.
“Brother Lin, you misunderstood. Qimapo was named after the mountain behind the village.
Our place is too poor, even bandits don’t bother to come and rob us.”
"I hope so. As long as the bandits dare to come, I don't mind killing them one by one."
There was a flash of murderous intent in Lin Erzhuang's eyes. If Village Chief Dong dared to collude with the bandits, he would kill him to silence him.
Village chief Dong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that the honest and simple man in front of him was actually a killer.
【Please don't let any bandits show up! 】
He hadn't left the village since the first heavy snow, so he really didn't know if there were any bandits.
The people who left the village did not send back any news, so he had no idea what was happening outside.
The group rushed into Qimapo before dark. The quiet village was devoid of any smoke or lights.
"It can't be an empty village!" Wu Xiaoming asked cautiously, holding a torch.
"You'll know if you go in and take a look. Try not to alarm the people in the village. It's better to be cautious.
Village Chief Dong, what do you think?" Lin Erzhuang looked at Village Chief Dong and said.
"Brother Lin is right. I will send someone to accompany you right away." Village Chief Dong said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Dad, I'll take Baozi with me." Lin Shu jumped off the carriage and said, carrying the iron spear.
"Okay, be careful."
Lin Erzhuang nodded, he knew that Baozi had a very sensitive sense of smell.
And Baozi only listens to his daughter's instructions.
"Dad, I'll go with my sister." Lin Hongyi volunteered.
Lin Erzhuang nodded and watched the six people and one dog enter the village.
...
In the dark village, there was no sound of chickens crowing, dogs barking, or even human voices.
Baozi stopped in front of a spacious yard and scratched the door hard with his claws.
"There is a situation!"
Lin Shu whispered, signaling for them to disperse.
She poked open the gate with an iron gun, and a faint smell of blood wafted out.
"Woo~" [Master, no one is left alive. ]
Lin Shu's expression changed slightly. The corpse covered in snow looked like an ice sculpture.
There were twelve headless corpses in various shapes placed in the yard.
The woman died in a horrible way, and only a bone remained of the man's thigh.
"Little sister, don't look!"
Lin Hongyi quickly covered Lin Shu's eyes, turned his head and retched repeatedly.
