Chapter 313 Preparing for War
Lu Tianming looked at the old man's wrinkled face and sincerely returned the greeting to express his gratitude.
After everyone left, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang returned to their own yard.
The situation has been really tense these days, with preparations, guard duty and patrols happening non-stop, and people in each courtyard are working very hard.
Master Yan no longer required everyone to undergo long periods of concentrated training.
People from the three courtyards all took time to find their own places to practice.
So, when they came back, they went straight back to the house.
The two men had discussed it on the way, and after returning, they checked their weapons and prepared for the battle that might come at any time.
Qin Lang took out the long knife and began to polish it carefully.
Lu Qingqing took out the box containing the arrows and began to check the condition of each arrow one by one.
After checking three boxes of new arrows in a row, he began to check the old arrows.
Although it is called an old arrow, it has only been used once or twice before.
Before, as long as conditions permitted, she would pick up arrows that did not cause serious damage.
After a simple repair, it can be used again without any problems.
Of course, if it is an important occasion, she will use new arrows to prevent mistakes.
Just like before on the wall, when she shot an arrow to drive back the refugees, she used a new arrow.
But the current situation is that they have to defend the city.
Shooting down from the city wall, these arrows are much more useful than other weapons and can have a greater effect.
In addition, we don't know whether the enemy will come during the day or at night, so there is not much difference between the new and old arrows.
At the same time, in rapid shooting, the slight deviation caused by the old arrow is nothing.
As for the arrows that she was going to check now, she planned to tie them onto the cart in advance after checking them.
These days, wherever she goes, she carries the arrow with her.
To avoid a sudden attack by bandits and being caught off guard.
Thinking of this, she looked at Qin Lang, who had already sharpened his long sword and was standing next to her to watch her check the arrows.
"Little Lang, let's tie the arrows to the cart.
If something goes wrong, we won’t be in a panic.”
Qin Lang naturally agreed. The two of them placed the three boxes flat on the cart, tied them tightly, and tied a loose knot.
This snap button can be opened easily by pulling it, so it won't cause any delay.
In the yard, Sun Cui just came out to pour water. Seeing the two people standing next to the cart, she subconsciously looked up.
Seeing three large boxes tied to a cart with big locks on them, I couldn't help but wonder what was inside.
It just so happened that a few days ago, because of the dumplings incident, Daya pushed me out, and I felt that I had lost face in front of her.
At this moment, I feel embarrassed to approach and chat with her.
She carried the bucket of dirty water and walked out of the yard.
As I walked, I muttered to myself.
This box looks quite big and is tied so tightly. There can’t be any valuable treasures inside!
Seeing her staring at the box, Lu Qingqing was worried that something might happen to her, so she took the initiative to speak:
"Aunt San, are you busy?"
Seeing that she took the initiative to talk to her, Sun Cui suddenly became interested. She put down the dirty bucket she was carrying and went to the cart.
"Daya, what are you carrying? Do you need such a big box?"
Lu Qingqing took the key and opened the box containing the old arrows.
As soon as the box was opened, the arrows inside were clearly visible.
Lu Qingqing picked up an arrow stained with dried blood and handed it to Sun Cui.
“These are arrows, used to kill bandits!
Look, this arrow was pulled out from a bandit.
It must have pierced the internal organs at that time. The arrowhead was not damaged, but was stained with blood.
If the arrow had been stuck in the bone, it would have been damaged and would have been useless.
Aunt San, look at this arrow, it's so sharp!"
Sun Cui was shocked by the arrow that was handed to her. There was a smell of blood on it!
She quickly took two steps back, and the smile on her face disappeared.
This little girl must be crazy. Why show her the arrow?
"No, no thanks, I have something else to do, you guys get busy!"
As he said that, he quickly picked up the dirty bucket and walked out of the yard.
As he walked, he secretly cursed the little girl as a lunatic.
Killing someone in her mouth is as easy as drinking water.
She herself had killed people, but it was nothing compared to this madman.
No, I have to go back and ask the boss about this Daya.
Lu Qingqing watched her fleeing, then put the arrow in her hand back into the box and slowly locked it.
The bandits may attack at any time, so everything must give way to survival.
As long as Sun Cui doesn't cause trouble, she doesn't bother with her.
After tying up the boxes, Lu Qingqing and the other person returned to the house.
Soon, Sun Cui finished pouring the water and came back with an empty bucket.
When she got near the cart, she deliberately took a detour and stayed away from it.
As soon as she returned to the house, she complained to Lu Lao San:
"Boss, who is your niece?
Just now I saw her tying up boxes in the yard, but she handed the bloody arrow right under my nose.
It gave me a big scare!"
Lu Lao San was wiping the knife in his hand with a rag. Hearing this, he said without even looking up:
"That girl is a ruthless one, stay away from her if you have nothing to do!"
Sun Cui wanted to ask something else, but seeing him like this, she had to suppress her questions.
......
The next morning, it was Lu Qingqing and the women in the yard's turn to be on duty.
For such a long time, she has been on duty with her master's wife.
So, according to her old habit, she put more firewood and food for lunch on the cart.
Including the boxes underneath, there seems to be quite a lot of things on the cart.
But all the training for so long was not in vain. With a little effort, she pushed the car forward.
The master's wife had just finished her meal and when she went out she saw a little girl pushing so many things, so she hurried over to take them.
Unfortunately, Master's wife is not as strong as Lu Qingqing's.
Her hands, which were holding the handlebars, were shaking.
Master Yan came back from outside and saw this scene. He stepped forward and replaced the two people.
"What are you two doing pushing such a heavy cart? Where are Xiaolang and Xiaorui?"
The master's wife glanced at him:
"You forgot, they were all on patrol last night and are still asleep now!"
Master Yan wanted to slap his head in frustration, but his hands were too busy. He couldn't hide the deep fatigue on his face.
"Look at my memory, I forgot because I was busy.
If you don't call me, I'll just help you push the car over."
The master's wife looked at the dark circles under her husband's eyes and said distressedly:
"You've been busy outside these days and haven't had time to eat. Go back and have a rest soon.
I've put the rice in the pot, it's still warm."
"Hey, I got it."
