Chapter 125 Rollover
After all the bandits had passed the huge rocks, at the signal of the leader, the bandits in the front row walked forward carefully holding wooden boards.
The bandit leader was full of doubts after walking nearly a hundred meters without seeing any enemy.
The shooting distance of a normal bow and arrow is generally between one and two hundred meters, and the effective range is within one hundred and twenty meters.
If we haven't seen anyone yet, the most likely possibility is that the enemy is small in number and retreated after seeing them coming.
The leader signaled his men to raise their torches to see what was happening ahead. The man who was called out was reluctant but did not dare to disobey the order.
He raised the torch in fear, quickly stretched his head to take a look, and then retracted it.
In my nervousness, I didn't see anything at all, and could only bite the bullet and say that I saw no one in front.
The leader was only paying attention to the movement in front and didn't see his actions. When he heard that there was no one around, he relaxed.
The group carefully put down the wooden board, and when they saw that no arrows were coming, they completely relaxed.
At this time, Lu Qingqing was staring at them in space and saw a group of bandits coming towards them, getting closer and closer.
She nervously estimated the distance: fifteen meters, ten meters, five meters, two meters, one meter.
put!
Two huge rocks were released from the space at the same time, barely covering the location of a dozen bandits.
The bandits died without even a scream.
Lu Qingqing left the space and put the two huge stones back into the space.
There was no time to search for bodies now, so the bodies of the bandits below were directly put into the space.
She ran quickly to the front and removed the huge rock that was blocking the road.
On the small road behind the boulder, a row of ox carts were still standing there, except that some of the wooden boards on the carts had been removed.
Lu Qingqing ran over quickly to collect the ox carts. Just as she finished collecting the last one, she heard the sound of refugees running and breathing heavily not far away on the road.
At this time, the wildfire was only separated from here by a mountain.
......
Lu Tianfu was pushing a cart at the back. He had been running for so long that his throat was dry and painful, and smelled of rust.
My legs were numb from running and I moved forward mechanically.
He didn't dare to stop, let alone look back, but he already felt the burning sensation on his back.
The wildfire behind me was spreading towards the mountain with the help of the strong wind.
If viewed from above, the wildfire looks like a fire dragon, with countless tall trees engulfed in flames.
The moisture in the trees quickly disappeared, and thick smoke billowed out as they burned.
Many people who had not had time to run away from the mountain were choked unconscious by the thick smoke, and the wildfire that spread immediately afterwards engulfed them and their luggage.
Lu Tianming was driving a horse-drawn carriage in front, and thick smoke was already drifting from behind, carrying with it the stench of burnt flesh.
He didn't dare to think too much and could only stare at the road ahead while holding the reins tightly.
Cui, sitting in the carriage, saw that the wildfire had already spread to the mountain behind. The smoke drifted over with the wind, making people cough.
She asked her daughter and daughter-in-law for a handkerchief, and while holding the edge of the carriage with one hand, she took out a handkerchief and wet it with the other.
He handed the handkerchiefs to the two of them and told them to cover their mouths and noses.
She took out two handkerchiefs from her bag, wet them and handed them to her husband and son who were driving the cart in front.
Rejected by Lu Tianming and the other man, one of them was holding a torch and the other was driving the cart, and they didn't even bother to cover their mouths and noses.
However, the light was always too dim and they could only barely see the road.
As the carriage wheel hit a rock at an extremely high speed, the entire carriage rolled over and fell into the ditch on the side of the road.
Fortunately, there were trees beside the ditch that blocked the carriage, and it did not continue to fall.
Everyone in the carriage was thrown off, and Lu Yuanfang's entire arm was pressed down by the carriage, causing her to gasp in pain.
Although Guan and Cui were not pinned down, they were still hurt all over.
The Yao family who were following behind heard a loud bang and saw Lu Tianming's carriage fall out.
Yao Bowu hurriedly pulled the reins and jumped off the carriage anxiously before it stopped.
He was the first one to run to the carriage. Seeing Lu Yuanfang gasping in pain, he tried his best to lift the carriage.
At this time, Lu Tianming and Lu Shuhe, who had been thrown out, also rushed over. The three of them worked together to lift the carriage and rescued Lu Yuanfang.
Lu Yuanfang was in so much pain that she didn't care about the differences between men and women. Looking at Yao Bowu's concerned expression and words of concern, tears flowed unconsciously.
Seeing this, Yao Bowu felt extremely distressed and wished he could take his place.
Guihua, who was at the back, felt like her lungs were about to burst. Seeing the people in front stopped, she was just about to take a break when she saw Yao Bowu running over to save her cousin.
The anxious look on his face was particularly glaring in the firelight, and Guihua turned around and didn't want to look anymore.
When she first started escaping, Guihua wanted to ask the Yao family to let her ride in their carriage, but she was grabbed by her mother after she had run a few steps.
She could only rely on her legs to escape, and she suffered a lot along the way.
She couldn't run fast enough to escape just now, and wanted to ask her father to let her ride in the ox cart for a while, but her father rejected her request.
There wasn't much stuff on her family's ox cart, only her grandpa and grandma were driving it.
Guihua felt from the bottom of her heart that her father had changed, and no one at home loved her. She had to fight for what she wanted on her own.
At this moment, Guihua saw that her mother was just gasping for breath, so she sneaked to the Yao family's carriage.
The women of the Yao family all ran downstairs to check on the women of the Lu family, but there was no one in the car.
Guihua got on the carriage directly. She had already thought about what she would say to the Yao family women when they came back so that she could stay and ride in the carriage.
Seeing that his sister was fine, Lu Shuhe ran to check on his mother Cui and his wife Guan. Fortunately, their injuries were not serious.
Lu Tianming ran over to pick up the torch and saw that the carriage wheel was broken.
I couldn't help but sigh. It was really a case of "misfortunes never come singly". The car broke down at the critical moment when I was escaping!
Fortunately, the horse was smart and broke free from the reins when it fell. It only had scratches on its body and was able to continue on its way.
County Magistrate Yao came over to take a look at the situation and realized that the carriage could not move.
He made a prompt decision and let Lu Tianming and his family get on his carriage.
Although the Yao family had two carriages, if they wanted to accommodate so many people, they had to throw some more things in.
Lu Shuhe felt that his injuries were not serious, and he felt embarrassed to squeeze in with the women, so he wanted to run and catch up.
County Magistrate Yao tried his best to dissuade him, and Lu Shuhe wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Lu Tianming.
Lu Tianming decided to let Lu Shuhe ride the horse, while he and Yao Xiancheng sat on the shaft to drive the carriage.
Just as the group was about to get on the carriage and continue their journey, Mrs. Yao noticed that there was one more person in her carriage.
When I got closer to take a look, I realized it was osmanthus!
Cui and Guan were helping Lu Yuanfang over when they noticed Guihua sitting in the car. A look of disgust flashed across their faces.
Madam Yao looked at Guihua and said bluntly:
"My carriage can't hold so many people. You should go back to your home!"
Guihua had already prepared herself to be ridiculed or even scolded, so she just smiled and said:
"Mrs. Yao, I really can't run anymore. Please let me take a ride. When I get married, I will definitely treat you well."
When Madam Yao heard this, she felt even more disgusted. How could a concubine talk about filial piety?
