Chapter 321 Returning to the Village with Supplies
Seeing the skinny dog lying on the ground and dead, Lu Tianming and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
No one expected that a person could be hidden in that small wooden box!
Fortunately, Daya arrived in time and rescued them, so they were safe.
At this time, the people outside the house also heard the noise and rushed into the house with weapons.
The group of people were shocked when they saw the bandit lying on the ground.
They had already searched every corner of the house, so there shouldn't be any place for anyone to hide.
Master Yan glanced around the room again, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he asked Lu Tianming and the others:
"Where did this bandit come from? Is anyone injured?"
When Lu Shuhe heard this, he suddenly thought of Lu Shuyi being scratched just now.
He hurried over to Lu Shuyi, who was covering his arm, and said with concern:
"Shuyi, how's your arm?"
Lu Shuyi shook his head: "It's okay, the wound is not very deep, I should be fine after I go back and apply some medicine."
Lu Shuhe carefully lifted up Lu Shuyi's torn sleeve and saw a palm-sized wound on his arm.
Fortunately, it was winter and I was wearing thick clothes, so the wound was not very deep.
At this moment, the blood near the wound has coagulated.
Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Lu Shuhe breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to help treat the wound, but there was no medicine available.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to find a roll of clean new cloth and bandage it simply.
When I get back, I have to open the wound and apply medicine again.
On the side, Lu Tianming saw Shuhe had already helped Shuyi treat the wound, so he pointed at the open box and said to Master Yan:
"This person must have been hiding in that box before. Shuyi and I went to move the box, and it felt a bit heavy.
It’s not easy to move it directly like this. I saw that the box was not locked, so I thought about dividing some of the things in the box.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the box was opened, the man rushed out with a hatchet.
Everyone was busy moving things and had no weapons, so the man injured Shuyi.
Upon hearing this, Master Yan and the others sighed.
When the things were moved later, not only were the people who moved them careful, but there was also an armed person watching in each room.
By the time all the supplies were loaded into the car, everyone was a little tired.
Village Chief Yang and Lu Tianming took the lead and began to lead the convoy back.
Lu Qingqing pulled Qin Lang, and the two of them slowly fell to the back of the team.
After everyone had gone a little further, Lu Qingqing quietly went back and collected a few more cars.
She also collected the large pile of firewood next to it and put it on the mountain in the space.
When she and Qin Lang were wandering around the village before, they also collected a lot of firewood.
We need to burn a lot of firewood in winter, so there's no need to worry about having too much of this stuff.
Besides, there is plenty of space in her space, and she can accommodate several times more firewood.
She was worried that the firewood would look ugly if it was placed in a mess, so she always put it away neatly.
Nowadays, there are many piles of firewood of different sizes on the mountain where firewood is stored.
After collecting the pile of firewood and other useful things nearby, the two of them slowly caught up with the team.
At this time, the team had arrived at the gate of Renjiahe.
Village chief Yang looked at the ladder that everyone brought when they came, thought about it and decided to ask someone to bring the ladder back.
The way back was quiet, and the only sound was the panting of the people pulling the cart.
After working all night, everyone is exhausted.
Fortunately, a lot of things were pulled back on the cart, which was a comfort to everyone.
By the time everyone rushed back to Renjiahe, it was almost dawn.
The people who stayed behind were dealing with the bodies outside the wall, and the bodies of the bandits were piled together.
The bodies of the villagers were placed separately nearby.
After the body was moved, the bloodstains on the ground became more obvious.
The women who were cleaning up saw their husbands coming back and came forward to greet them.
They looked around and felt relieved when they saw that none of their family members were injured again.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the cart.
The long line of carts in the team really attracted a lot of people's attention.
They came to the cart and asked about the things that were pulled back on the cart.
The tired expressions on the men's faces faded, and they talked about what they brought back in a boastful manner.
When the women heard that they had brought back so much food, silver, bedding and other items, their originally heavy mood eased a little.
However, when they heard that one of the villages that was massacred was their own village, many women began to cry bitterly.
Their parents, brothers and entire family were killed by those bandits!
Most of the women in the village were married from nearby villages.
Hearing the crying of the woman next to them, those women whose families lived a little further away also hurried to ask about the situation in their own villages.
Unfortunately, apart from the names of the villages they had heard of, the men didn’t know what the other villages were like.
The women who had not heard any news from their parents' homes felt a little uneasy.
Although it was a good thing that we didn't hear the news, everyone was still worried.
Many women have already planned to go back to their parents' home in the next few days after finishing these things.
Village Chief Yang saw that everyone had stopped to chat, and after looking at the sky, he said to everyone:
"Everyone, stop for a moment. I'll say a few words."
After saying this, seeing that everyone had quieted down, he continued:
"It would be better to bring these things back to the village as soon as possible so that people can feel at ease!"
When everyone heard what the village chief said, they all agreed.
Although all the bandits have been killed, there is no threat nearby for the time being.
But only when something is in your pocket can it truly be yours.
Village Chief Yang looked at the high wall and continued:
“We brought back a lot of stuff this time, and it will take a lot of effort to transport it into the village!
Our ice wall has been reinforced several times, and with the battlements built inside, it is not easy to dig it open.
I figured I had to pull it in from the top of the wall.
If you have any good ideas, please bring them up and we can discuss them together!"
As he spoke, Village Chief Yang looked at everyone.
Everyone was talking about it, but there was no other solution.
There is no other place to enter in the entire village.
When the wall was built, all the roads were blocked.
If you want to transport it in, you either have to go through the wall or break a hole in it.
But this wall and battlements were built by everyone together, and everyone knows how strong they are.
Even if it takes a lot of effort to break it open and carry it in, you still have to continue making ice bricks and stack them up.
If it takes two attempts, it would be better to go over the wall.
Village Chief Yang waited for a while, and seeing that no one suggested any other solution, he continued:
"If you guys don't have any other good ideas, let's pull it in through the wall.
Yongyan, take some people to the ancestral hall and bring back the wooden buckets that were used to store grain in previous years.
We brought back a lot of food, and it was easier to pull it up with that bucket!"
After Yang Yongyan agreed, he called a few young men to leave.
Village Chief Yang saw them climbing up the wall with ropes and pointed to a spacious area below the wall and said:
"Everyone, clear this piece out first, and then we'll lift it up from these places!
As for the bodies of the bandits nearby, move them to the corner first.
Let's wait until everyone recovers tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and then find a place to bury him!"
Everyone agreed.
After Village Chief Yang finished speaking, he looked at the bodies of his fellow villagers nearby.
Many of those corpses were ones he had watched grow up.
