Chapter 116 Trap
"The child's father..." The woman next to him looked at him with a pale face and her mouth trembling.
Zhou Guo was a little conflicted. This was the first person willing to stand up, but he was the only young and strong man in the family. Before she made up her mind, she heard her uncle speaking.
"Have you thought it through? You are the only one in your family. Everyone listen, if there is only one laborer in the family, you don't need to stand up." Zhou Dacang on the side said loudly to everyone.
"I've thought it through very clearly. I'm not doing this for others, but for my wife and children. If I don't stand up to prevent future troubles for them, no one in our family will be able to escape," said the man.
……
"That's right, I'll come too."
"Count me in."
"Count me in too."
More and more young and strong people stood up and walked to the side without hesitation, with determination on their faces.
The buzzing of the crowd gradually became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared in amazement, tears in their eyes at the people who stood up. Among them were their children, their husbands, and their fathers, whom they might never see again.
In the August weather, a gust of wind blew across the flat ground, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground into the air, and the leaves on the roadside rustled.
Zhou Guo looked around and actually felt a chilling autumn atmosphere.
……
There were about a hundred people who stood up, all of them young and strong.
The rest of the people continued to move forward, and they started digging pits on the road with the more than one hundred people.
After tasting the sweet success of the last trip rope, Zhou Dacang decided to bury a few more on the road.
Zhou Guo led people to dig holes about a hundred meters behind them. Time was limited and there was no time to dig a big one, so she asked them to use hoes to dig small holes on the flat road, one foot deep and one foot wide, with one hole about as wide as a baby's palm. Soon, the road was covered with these densely packed small holes.
Some dead branches and leaves are sprinkled on it, so it can't be seen at first glance.
After all this was done, Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang each took some people into the woods on both sides.
She mainly brought her own people with her. The newly picked ones were unwilling to even look at a child as young as her, and were unwilling to listen to her.
She didn't mind and was too lazy to make arrangements.
However, there was an exception, that was the butcher Zhu Dazui, who was the first to stand on his side without any hesitation. He also took the initiative to follow her and rushed to do everything, like a father.
Zhou Guo looked at her and thought that this man really treated her like a child. She did not explain and squatted in the bushes, staring outside intently.
Zhu Dazui followed her and opened his mouth several times but couldn't hold back, "You shouldn't have stayed. Why didn't you go with your family? That Zhou Dacang is your uncle, right? Someone from your family has already come out, why are you still out?"
Zhou Guo was about to speak when he saw clouds of dust rising in the distant sky. He gestured for silence and looked into the distance. A group of black shadows were moving towards him at a very fast speed.
coming!
"I'm coming."
"Come on, brothers, let's throw these sons of bitches to death!"
Zhou Guo looked across and saw the small tree opposite shaking. He also shook the tree on his side and made a gesture.
The people around me are already prepared.
She picked up the rope in front of her, wrapped it around her hands a few times, and waited for the fish to bite.
The sound of horse hooves came from far away.
When she looked over, her heart sank. There were at least fifty or sixty people, probably from the city. She didn't know how many more people were in the city. Sweat broke out in her palms.
The sound of horse hooves like drums rang in my ears, stirring up clouds of dust.
That's it.
"rise!!"
"Boom~~"
More than a dozen trip ropes rose from the ground at the same time, straightened in an instant, shook in the air, and the dust on top of them fell down.
“Howl~~~”
"Sigh~~"
The galloping horse's front legs broke and it fell to the ground with a scream.
The man on the horse was thrown off the horse in an instant.
The horse behind didn't have time to brake, and after the two collisions, it fell forward uncontrollably.
The other party had never expected that there would be a trap here. After being tripped, they had no time to stop, and seven or eight horses were killed, and several people also died.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhou Guo and others led their men and rushed forward.
"Someone, someone, boss, look, this must be done by this gang!"
The bandits suffered such a loss and were so furious that they had no place to vent their anger. When they saw Zhou Guo and his group of refugees fleeing in a hurry, they didn't have time to think and just pulled the reins to chase after them.
"Stop, stop!"
"Don't run!"
Zhou Guo led his men and ran forward, asking everyone to shout for help as they ran.
“Hahaha, help? No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out. Just wait to die!”
Zhou Guo and his group escaped the trap safely.
The people behind had no idea that there was a trap on the ground.
"Xu~~~"
"Boom~~~"
"Ah~~"
The sounds of horses falling to the ground with screams, people screaming, and angry curses came from behind.
She led her men hurriedly into the woods on the left. Once inside, the team split up into small groups in an orderly manner and disappeared into the vast dense forest.
Zhu Dazui was stunned. When he raised his eyes, these people disappeared.
Zhou Guo pulled him deeper into the woods.
"Boss, they've entered the woods!"
"Hmph, forest? Even if they hide in the sky, I will find these people. I want to skin them alive! Brothers, go into the mountains, give us these appetizers to go with the wine."
"Oh - go -"
Zhou Guo's palms were sweating. Since their master was not around, they had to rely on themselves today.
The two traps killed seven or eight of the other side, but there were still many people left.
She lay motionless on the ground, tightly holding the dagger in her hand. This dagger was given to her by her master before he left. It was said that it was a precious sword that could cut through iron like mud.
The bandits probably still looked down on them, and seeing that the forest was so big, forty or fifty of them divided into eight teams and searched separately.
"Damn it, I said this job is hard. Others are living a good life in the county town, but we have to look for people in this woods where no birds even shit, and we even lost several brothers." There was deep dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Shh, stop talking. If the boss hears this, you'll get scolded. I'm going to pee, you guys go first." The man walked past Zhou Guo's head without noticing her.
More than a hundred of them were scattered in various corners of the forest, and there were people everywhere in the dark. Zhou Guo stood up quietly with a dagger in his hand, and decided to give a demonstration to the people in the dark.
She quietly moved behind the man and slapped him on the back of the neck. The man, who was pulling up his pants, immediately fainted and fell backwards. She reached out to catch him and carefully put him down without making any sound. She covered his mouth and wiped his neck, cleanly and neatly.
Successfully solved one.
