Chapter 171: The Widowed Mother in Famine 3
Lin Xuan did not move, but just clenched the whip in his hand.
The refugees looked very unhappy. These foods were their only source of life. If they handed them over, they would surely starve to death.
"We won't give you the food! They are few in number, so let's fight them together!"
One of the refugees mustered up his courage and shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the others also mustered up their courage and prepared to fight these bandits to the death.
"kill……"
The robbers were extremely surprised. They didn't expect that these refugees would dare to resist. They raised their swords and slashed at the crowd.
As the battle began, the sounds of fierce fighting and shouting rang out on Stone Mountain.
“Ah…Help!”
"I'll fight with you..."
……
These robbers actually have martial arts skills and do not look like ordinary bandits. If the refugees encounter them, the only outcome is death.
Nan Xi whispered, "Save people!"
The young ones on the ox cart became excited. They picked up their weapons and rushed towards the robbers. Zhao Kangping also picked up a knife and prepared to fight, but Nan Xi stopped him.
"This number of people is enough for the children."
Only then did Zhao Kangping sit down.
Li Cuiyun's hidden weapon first shot at the horse's legs. Several horses were frightened and kept roaring.
The robbers couldn't hold their horses, so they had to dismount and fight.
Lin Xuan and Lin Ya rushed towards the bandits at the same time, and for a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers intertwined into a chaotic battlefield.
Lin Xuan held a long sword in his hand, his body was agile, and each of his sword swings was powerful and resounding. The long whip in Lin Ya's hand danced in the air like a spirit snake, and each swing accurately hit the robber's vital points.
Her movements were light and agile, and her whip was not only incredibly powerful but also incredibly fast, making it impossible for the robbers to get close to her.
Li Cuiyun was a different scene. She was agile and kept taking out various hidden weapons from her waist, shooting them into the enemy's eyes or hitting their wrists.
Her skills in using hidden weapons were unique, and each shot was precise and deadly, making it difficult for the robbers to defend themselves.
Although Lin Le and Xiao Shitou are young, they are not inferior to others.
Nan Xi didn't allow them to get close to the robbers, so they picked up stones on the ground and threw them hard at the robbers.
Their strength was no less than that of normal adults, and every time a stone hit the robbers, they would roar and curse.
Ten minutes later, the robbers began to retreat step by step. With the tacit cooperation of Lin Xuan and others, they could not find any breakthrough at all.
Gradually, the bandits began to panic and their attacks became weaker and weaker.
Finally, the last robber was knocked to the ground, and Lin Xuan and his companions finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Ya and Li Cuiyun turned pale again when they saw the tragic situation on the ground.
This was their first time killing someone, and they still felt a little nauseous.
Lin Xuan pulled Lin Le over, and Zhao Kangping also pulled Zhao Shitou over, fearing that they would be scared, but he didn't expect that they were so brave and were not afraid at all.
Lin Ya gently stroked the whip, her face looking a little bad.
Li Cuiyun also put away her hidden weapon. She looked at the mess on the ground and took a deep breath.
Nan Xi handed over the water bag and comforted them.
“These people deserve to die.”
The two men nodded. They had seen so many dead people along the way that they didn't vomit at all.
"This is the way the world is. We have to get used to it." Nan Xi's tone revealed an indescribable heaviness, but more of it was determination.
The three of them understood it, so they accepted it quickly.
"Okay, we have to move on." Nan Xi returned to the ox cart, and Lin Xuan and the other two also dusted off their bodies and continued their journey.
Nan Xi ignored the horses and the refugees slaughtered them all for meat. These horses were not something that people like them could own.
Nan Xi also thought that the horse might have come from the military camp, so she didn't take it.
In the following days, there were no more attacks by large groups of bandits, and some small gangs of bandits were not to be feared.
The group moved forward along the predetermined route. As the distance shortened, the outline of Sanzhi County gradually became clearer in their sight.
The county town stands majestically, with tall and solid walls, guarding the peace and prosperity of this land.
Zhao Kangping stood on a high ground by the road, looking at Sanzhi County in the distance, with an inexplicable expectation in his heart.
This is not just a county town, but also a new beginning, a place full of hope and opportunities.
"We're here." Nan Xi also saw the county town and said to Lin Xuan and Li Cuiyun behind her.
Several people showed happy expressions. Although they had enough food and drink along the way, they were tense and felt tired.
We had originally planned to arrive in ten days, but due to various conditions on the road and detours, it ended up taking us fifteen days to arrive.
After walking for another hour, they finally arrived at the city gate of Sanzhi County.
There were people coming and going at the city gate, and there was a constant stream of pedestrians and vendors coming in and out. Nan Xi and his group slowly approached with the flow of people, feeling the vitality and bustle of the city.
There was no heavy guarding at the city gate, no household registration was checked, no pass was required, and only a few soldiers collected the city fees.
This may be the characteristic of Sanzhi County. People from all over the country can enter the city.
Passing through the city gate, they officially entered the territory of Sanzhi County.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, with a wide variety of goods on display. People are either strolling leisurely or rushing on their way, everyone is busy running for their own lives.
Various hawking sounds and conversations interweave together to form a unique city symphony.
Nan Xi and a few others found an inn to settle down and prepare to have a good rest.
The owner of the inn was a hospitable person. Seeing that they were from other places, he took the initiative to introduce them to the customs and local specialties of Sanzhi County.
Several people listened with great interest. This city was more tolerant than Nan Xi had imagined. They believed that the two families could live well here.
The group rested for a day and prepared to look for a house the next day. Staying in an inn was not a long-term solution, so it would be best to buy a yard so that the two families could be neighbors.
Upon learning that the group was planning to buy a house in the city, the innkeeper immediately and enthusiastically introduced them to Xue Liangpeng, the most enthusiastic and experienced middleman in the city.
"This Xue Liangpeng is the most famous middleman in our city. He knows the pros and cons of every property, and he is a warm-hearted person with an excellent reputation."
While introducing them, the innkeeper handed them Xue Liangpeng's business card.
After thanking the boss, the group found Xue Liangpeng according to the address on the business card.
Xue Liangpeng was just as the innkeeper said, enthusiastic and professional. He carefully inquired about the group's needs and budget, and then introduced in detail several courtyards in the city that were suitable for them.
"This courtyard is located in the east of the city. It has a quiet environment and convenient transportation. The garden in the courtyard is very elegant and very suitable for living."
Xue Liangpeng pointed to an exquisite drawing and explained every detail in detail.
Nan Xi thought it sounded good, "Can you take us to have a look?"
"of course can."
