Chapter 025 The night is dark and the wind is high
Wen Ya and Zhao Qian wandered around the mountains for nearly two hours before returning home with a full load.
It was already dark by then, Shi'an and Hongtao had already returned from collecting firewood, and bark gnocchi was already cooking in the pot.
Seeing the two men coming back with heavy backpacks on their backs, Zhufeng and Tong both stood up to greet them and put their own backpacks down. Qingyu noticed that there was incredulity and eagerness to move in the eyes around them.
Zhufeng counted five pheasants, four hares, and a small wild goat in his own basket. This was really unexpected. He winked at Wen Ya to show that he was awesome.
Mrs. Tong also finished counting her baskets, two rabbits and two pheasants. She looked at Zhao Qian excitedly, but Zhao Qian was a little embarrassed. In fact, most of these were given to him by Wen Ya. He only ejaculated on the fur and some of the fur.
He didn't even hit it, it was Wen Ya who added another arrow to him later.
The three children of the Zhao family also jumped excitedly, and the youngest son even shouted "Rourou". Tong was so frightened that she covered his mouth and warned him not to say anything. Then she turned her back to the crowd and hid the prey at the bottom of her backpack.
He also put a pile of debris on top to block it.
Wen Ya patted the ashes on her body, sat down by the fire, and then told everyone what happened on the mountain.
Shi'an and Hongtao also heard from Qingyu after they came back that there were hundreds of people in the organization here.
These people should be in a group of twelve people, and then they will be evenly distributed on this refugee road, controlling all the resources around them, and even robbing the weak refugees of clothing and food. The group of people encountered during the day, those on them
The clothes must have been stolen from others.
Thinking of what the man in the mountain said, Wen Ya clenched her fists angrily, "These turtles, there are so many refugees, and they are one of them, but they have become the overlord here. If the refugees here can go up the mountain, they may not be unable to find them."
When we get something to eat, I hate those people who have taken over all the hills around here."
Zhufeng couldn't hide his worry: "There are so many people, and we obviously have enemies with them. Trouble will definitely come to us soon."
"What are you afraid of? We're just...still sitting here. If those bitches dare to come, let them have a taste of our power." Hongtao smiled and rubbed Qingyu's face. Qingyu had no choice but to look resigned.
She made it round and flat.
Zhao Qian couldn't help but look at Qing Yu. Somehow, he felt that these words were referring to the little girl. Although Brother Bai's family all have their own magical powers, he just had the feeling that the youngest daughter was the mainstay of the family.
.
"Let's eat first, it's already cooked." Shi'an began to scoop out the lumps.
Qingyu glanced around calmly. She knew that Shi'an's actions had already provoked someone to make a move.
Although this bark powder tastes like bark when cooked, it doesn't smell good, and it doesn't taste good when eaten. However, the refugees at the scene have long been hungry and have only breathed their last breath. How can they dislike it, if they can't touch it?
The ins and outs of their family would probably have been rushed to them in droves.
As for the bottom line, they were brave enough to camp on the territory designated by the Tai'an Gang, and even dared to go hunting in the mountains. This made other refugees have to suspect that they were related to the Tai'an Gang. Because of this, the refugees temporarily
He held his ground and did not immediately swarm over.
"You guys eat first." Qingyu said this, picked up a small burned branch from the fire, and then started to draw something from the inside out with the camp as the center.
Zhao Qian and Tong also noticed the dangerous glances around them and felt a little scared. There were nearly a hundred people around them. If a swarm of swarms rushed up, they would have no room to fight back and they would be trampled to death.
But...the couple watched Qingyu carefully draw something round and round on the ground. They couldn't understand it, but this action made them feel at ease. Brother Bai and his family should be able to handle it if they are so calm.
.Zhao Qian thought like this.
Two-quarters of an hour later, Qingyu returned to the straw mat. Shi'an scooped out a bowl of bark powder and handed it to her. Qingyu smiled obediently and drank several mouthfuls of hot soup. Finally, she felt her body was much warmer.
The meal went quite smoothly, and the refugees around them did not dare to rush forward. After all, even the Tai'an Gang did not come to cause trouble. The refugees were even more uncertain about the situation, so even if they had a mouthful of saliva, they still did not dare to take any action.
.
Of course, there is also a family here who knows the real situation, that is, the family to which Qingyu gave the copper coins. They know that Qingyu’s family has nothing to do with the Tai’an Gang, but they are also afraid of getting involved with this family and getting into trouble, so they plan to first
Just wait and see what happens.
…
After dinner, the two families chatted for a while, and then each family had a rest. However, before lying down, Mrs. Tong moved her bedding closer to Qingyu's house, and then she fell asleep peacefully...
The fire crackled from time to time, and the sound of even breathing came from the refugee area. Many people were fast asleep. The Tai'an Gang, who had been waiting for an opportunity, finally took action.
There are a total of thirty-two people in the group, divided into three groups, responsible for controlling the refugee area ten miles inward from the city gate. The leaders of the three groups are one short, one tall, and one unexpectedly fat.
The tall man was the one who was stoned by Wen Ya, and the short man was the one who confronted Wen Ya in the mountains. As for the fat man, he had never seen Wen Ya's power, so he was very cautious about the other two.
Disdainful.
"How can a refugee be so powerful? Even if she can really hit the target with all her shots, she can't beat four people with her fists. There are so many of us, why are we afraid of her being a prostitute? You guys are really cowards." The fat man sneered.
Both the short man and the tall man had dark faces. The short man was also a vicious person, and he said in a dark way: "Fat man, be careful what you say." The implication was that the arrow in his hand was not very sharp.
The fat man whirled a long knife twice, then stabbed it hard into the ground, quite provocatively: "What? You want to kill me?"
The tall man was very impatient: "Okay, stop arguing, hurry up and deal with them. We can settle any grudges later."
The short and fat man glared at each other again, then each led his own people and quickly surrounded Qingyu and his party's camp.
Arriving at the camp, the dwarf first noticed black circles and frames on the ground. He raised his hand to signal others to stop, and then looked at the circles on the ground warily.
"Why does this thing look a bit like a compass?" Moreover, there were many stones randomly placed on it. He was unsure and did not dare to step into the circle rashly.
The fat man refused to deal with him and snorted disdainfully, "You don't usually show off your strength."
The dwarf glanced at him sideways, with a cunning look in his eyes, "If you are good, go ahead."
Do you want him to be a guinea pig? A sneer appeared on the corner of the fat man's mouth. Even if he didn't know what this thing was used for, he still knew that the first shot would lead to the first bird, so he was not irritated. "The boss has taught you to attack from a distance first and then attack from a close distance."
, or do you want to disobey the rules set by the boss?"
The dwarf gritted his teeth and gave a hateful look before raising his hand to signal his team to prepare. However, out of caution, he did not step into the circle. The target was within range anyway. So naturally, everyone else was also outside the circle.
Excluding the dwarf, there are a total of eleven archers. These people were all former hunters who fled here. Because of their special skills, they were recruited into the Tai'an Gang.
The dwarf pointed at Wen Ya and asked the two people with the best archery skills to aim at her. He also motioned for the others to aim at one each. Then when everyone was ready, the dwarf waved his arm, and in an instant, eleven arrows were shot out.
With a roaring fierceness.
The fat man also raised the big knife in his hand, signaling the people behind him to be ready. Shooting an arrow would not kill them immediately. In order to prevent these people from escaping, they would be in trouble if they chased them. They had to rush up to them as soon as they were hit by the arrow.
Killed with one knife. They have already solved many families who were dissatisfied with the Tai'an gang in this way.
Seeing the eleven arrows being shot perfectly, everyone waited with bated breath. However, after a few breaths, the eleven arrows, which were originally powerful, seemed to have suddenly lost their strength, and they all fell to the ground.
The position is exactly the second circle of the compass on the ground. One more circle and you can hit the target.
Everyone was shocked. The dwarf did not believe in evil and quickly waved his hand to the archers to shoot again.
Eleven arrows were shot again, but the situation was exactly the same as before. The arrows all landed on the second circle of the compass.
At this time, everyone felt a little scared. The fat man looked at the compass under his feet and was a little unsure: "Is there an expert here?"
The short man had a sinister look in his eyes, gathered strength in his hands, and pushed the fat man into the circle, with revenge and reminder: "Don't do it yet."
