Chapter 167 Refugee Attack
After the fisherman left, Wang's father took his butcher knife and went to the door to sharpen it.
While sharpening the knife, he stared outside.
Erya followed her grandfather and watched him carefully sharpen the knife as if it were a treasure.
Seeing the little girl staring at the knife intently, the king's father was worried that she might get hurt, so he said:
"Xiao Erya, this knife is sharpened very quickly, you can't touch it!"
As he spoke, he lightly touched the blade with his hand, then instantly put his hand to his mouth and blew lightly, shouting exaggeratedly:
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
Erya nervously leaned over to look at his hand, but his hand was covered and she couldn't see what was going on.
The little girl thought he was really hurt, so she went to the king's father and blew on him gently.
"Hoo! Huh! Blow on it and it won't hurt!"
When the king's father saw the little guy's behavior, his heart melted.
He took Xiao Erya into his arms and said in a soft voice:
"Xiao Erya, you must not touch knives casually in the future. If you touch your hand, it will hurt a lot, understand?"
Xiao Erya nodded vigorously with a very serious expression.
The village chief was idle in the cave. He walked to the cave entrance and saw Wang's father's butcher knife. He said:
"Uncle Wang, you're sharpening your knife again! No wonder they say butcher knives are sharp. If you sharpen it every day, you can even sharpen an iron rod!"
The king's father laughed when he heard this.
"Sharpening an iron rod is a real pain! I'd say..."
Before he could finish, the king's father's face changed drastically and he roared into the cave:
"Get up quickly, someone is coming to attack!"
The village chief suddenly turned his head and looked outside, and saw a group of refugees with weapons rushing towards the cave.
The village chief quickly ran back to the cave to get weapons. When the men in the cave heard about the sneak attack, they also picked up their weapons and rushed to the cave entrance.
The women in the cave became nervous for a moment, but then they all picked up their weapons and gathered together nervously.
The old village chief's wife called the children to her side and told them not to run around.
Then, he protected the children behind him.
At the entrance of the cave, Wang's father quickly carried Arya back to the cave.
He put Erya and several other children together, said to the old village chief's wife, "Please, sister-in-law," and rushed back to the cave entrance with a knife.
County Magistrate Yao stared outside with a knife in hand. The group of refugees who came to attack were about twenty or thirty people, much more than his own group.
But the pond was too far away from here. Even if we went there to report the news and call for reinforcements, the battle would have been over by the time we returned.
There is no other way at this time, we can only try our best!
Qu Hong, who was on duty in the cave next door, heard the noise and rushed out with a knife in hand, just in time to run into the refugees who were coming to attack him.
Neither side said a word and started fighting.
The refugees who came to attack were all ruthless and showed no mercy when beating people.
The king's father's knife had just been sharpened and was extremely sharp. With one cut, half of the forearm flew off.
The refugee who was chopped fell to the ground wailing with his hands covering his arm in pain. The king's father ended his pain with a single cut of his sword.
Zhuzi's father looked at the broken fingers flying around him and the blood flowing all over the ground. The courage he had just felt to protect the food also disappeared.
He stepped back unconsciously, but a "pop" sound beside him scared him.
It turned out that a refugee who was making a surprise attack hit the village chief on the back with a shovel. The village chief staggered and almost fell down.
Zhuzi's father slowly retreated to the corner of the cave entrance, leaned his back against the wall, and gripped the knife tightly in his hand, only then did he feel a little safe.
When another refugee was about to attack the old village chief, Zhuzi's father suddenly stabbed the man in the abdomen from the side.
As the knife was pulled out, blood spurted out and the man fell down holding his stomach.
It was the first time that Zhuzi's father killed someone. He could hardly hold the knife in his hand and his legs were very weak.
He looked at the puppy in the cave and was still holding on without falling down.
However, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too large, and people on our side were still injured from time to time.
Fortunately, there were only a few people holding knives on the opposite side, and most of them were holding sticks or hoes and shovels.
Although the men guarding the door fought hard, refugees still rushed into the cave.
In the cave, several young girls including Guan, Lu Yuanfang and Guihua screamed in fear when they saw the refugees rushing in with knives.
The children in the innermost part were also frightened and started crying, and their shrill cries echoed in the cave.
Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Yan, and Mrs. Yao held their knives in front of them to protect the children behind them.
At the entrance of the cave, Lu Shuhe didn't dare to take any ruthless action at first, but when he heard the screams of his wife and sister and the crying of the children in the cave, he became completely anxious.
He raised his knife fiercely and chopped it towards the head of the refugee opposite him. The man didn't expect him to suddenly go crazy and was knocked to the ground by him.
Seeing two more people about to enter the cave, Lu Shuhe hurried to stop them, but was hit on the shoulder and neck by a stick by a refugee nearby.
The force was so strong that Lu Shuhe's vision went dark for a moment. He tried hard to recover, but then his body began to tremble in pain.
In the cave, Cui saw her son injured and rushed over with a knife in hand.
But the lady, who had been spoiled since childhood, didn't have much strength. It was already difficult for her to run a few steps with the knife in her hand.
She ran over and just helped Lu Shuhe to the side. When she saw refugees rushing towards them, she raised her knife and waved it forward, trying to scare them away.
The refugees who rushed into the cave were looking for food and money. Seeing that the two men did not take anything at the entrance of the cave, they ignored them and ran directly for the property inside.
At this moment, four or five men rushed in, carrying food from the cart.
A thin, stick-like man saw the carriage behind the women, put on a greedy smile, and pointed at the carriage and said:
"Look at those carriages and wagons over there. The good stuff must be over there!"
After hearing this, the other men also looked in that direction.
Several people ran towards the women, threatening them as they ran:
"If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
When Madam Yao and Madam Yan saw them rushing towards them, their hands holding the knives began to tremble and they unconsciously took a few steps back.
The old village chief's wife pulled her two granddaughters and one granddaughter-in-law back, and there were four small children behind them.
Seeing that they were not blocking the way, the refugees' eyes lingered on the women.
The skinny guy said with a lewd smile:
"You little bitches, wait till I finish looting everything before I treat you well!"
Several other refugees also laughed. They quickly boarded the carriage and unloaded the bags of food.
As they were moving, the skinny guy was envious and cursed:
"Damn! We're almost starving to death out there, and these guys still have so much food!"
When he found a small bag of silver, the man was even more delighted and kept muttering:
"I'm rich! I'm really rich this time!"
Seeing that there were too many things to move, the skinny guy said towards the cave entrance:
"This is a bunch of fat sheep. Quickly deal with those guys at the door and come in to move the things. There are some pretty girls here!"
