Chapter 123 Take the initiative
After Lu Qingqing passed through the bandit group, she ran quickly forward following the group of refugees.
The refugees threw away their heavier luggage, which allowed them to move forward quickly.
Lu Qingqing followed at the end, observing the surrounding environment and the conditions of the mountain road while running.
She planned to take advantage of the environment and space to take away the gold and silver from the bandits!
A few days ago, the space was upgraded. After testing the space water and finding no problems, she and Qin Lang have been drinking the space water.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her strength and endurance had increased.
Not only is drawing the bow less strenuous, but even traveling up the mountain every day is not as tiring as before.
The efficacy of this space water has yet to be explored, and it may be more than just healing wounds.
Lu Qingqing was looking forward to what would happen if the space water continued to upgrade!
Now that we know that upgrading this space requires gold and jade, we cannot let go of the silver and money in the hands of the bandits.
When passing a narrow mountain road, Lu Qingqing stopped.
There is a steep mountain wall on one side and a deep ravine on the other.
If you block most of the road with huge rocks, only a small path that is barely wide enough for people to pass through will be left.
In the bandit group, it is unlikely that much could be moved by manpower alone with more than a dozen ox carts.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a big rock in the place she passed by just now, and hurried back.
Lu Qingqing collected a few more huge stones and put them in the space. She suddenly found that these big stones were also very useful for hitting people.
On the way back, Lu Qingqing let Qin Lang out and quickly told him the situation.
Ask him to look at the other side of the road and warn others in advance if they come.
Lu Qingqing ran back to the location she had just chosen and placed the largest stone on the road, blocking the entire mountain road.
Changing the stone didn't work. It took several attempts before the road was blocked.
The huge rocks almost completely blocked the mountain road, leaving only enough space for one person to pass by by sticking to the rocks.
Only then did Lu Qingqing call Qin Lang and go to the front to wait.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the bandit group arrived.
The bandit in front came closer with a torch and found that the road was blocked by a huge rock.
He pushed the boulder several times, but it didn't budge at all. In desperation, he shouted to the back:
"Brothers, come over here. There's a big rock blocking the way for some reason. Come and help push it."
The bandits escorting the car from behind rushed forward and tried several times to move the stone, but it didn't move.
When Ma Damazi saw the car in front stopped, he came over and was surprised to see a big rock.
He had walked this road countless times and didn't know why a huge rock suddenly appeared.
But now is not the time to study this. The wildfire behind may come at any time. The most important thing now is to deal with this big rock.
Ma Damazi arranged for a dozen bandits to find strong sticks, hoping to pry the stone from the side to see if they could push it down.
He then found a strong man among his men, and after finding a stick, Wang Laowu directed everyone to pry the stone.
"One, two, pry!"
"One, two, pry!"
The bandits shouted slogans and tried hard, and tried many times on the spot, but the boulder did not move at all.
Wang Laowu was so anxious that he was sweating. He tried it himself, but it was of no use.
The bandits under his command were waiting behind, and they were getting extremely anxious as they saw the fire getting closer and closer.
But since the boss didn't say anything, it was useless for them to be anxious. They could hear whispers of discussion among the bandits.
Ma Damazi was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. This road was impassable, and there was no other place where the ox cart could pass.
Moreover, you never know when a wildfire will come, and if you take a detour, you may end up dead.
But if he were to give up the ox cart, he would most likely have to give up a lot of food and money.
He felt really bad about it, because the things on the ox cart were all his assets.
The money in the car was all saved up by various means over the years, and he himself couldn't even count how many lives were lost due to it.
Ma Damazi was unable to make a decision, and the discussions in the team were getting louder and louder.
Wang Laowu also ran over and approached Ma Damazi and suggested:
"Brother, if this doesn't work, let the brothers carry the money and food and leave! This wildfire is getting closer!"
Ma Damazi listened to his words, looked back, and saw that the fire was getting more and more intense.
With a determined heart, he said to the bandits behind him:
"Since the oxcarts can't get through, let's just carry the money out! My brothers all know who I am, Ma Damazi. The money we carry out will be the capital for our Tianlang Village to make a comeback!"
After Ma Damazi finished speaking, he said to Wang Laowu:
"Old Five, arrange the division of labor among the brothers. Have half of them carry the silver and the other half carry the food."
The Wang Laowus were arranged in the order in which they entered the stronghold, with the first fifty carrying silver and the rest carrying food.
The bandits who were assigned to carry food secretly complained that the food bags were not only heavy, but also had little oil.
It's pitch dark now, and whoever is carrying the money is not stupid, he will definitely hide some and make some money.
A few people who felt they had a good relationship with Wang Laowu ran over to plead for mercy, hoping to change their roles to carrying silver.
Wang Laowu was so annoyed that he cursed back at them.
Although those people were angry, they did not dare to show it openly and went back with a lot of resentment in their hearts.
The bandits began to remove the ropes on the ox cart, and the bandits who opened the box were stunned.
Against the backdrop of the fire, the gold and silver jewelry in the box looked even more gorgeous, and several people stared at them in amazement.
When Ma Damazi saw that Wang Laowu had made the assignment, he wanted to go and see the situation in front.
He held the torch and carefully crossed the boulders. Before he could take a closer look at the road conditions, he heard a light "whoosh" sound and lost consciousness.
Lu Qingqing kept staring at the boulder. He appeared with a torch in his hand like a shining target and was shot in the head by an arrow.
Ma Damazi fell straight to the ground, and the torch in his hand fell to the side.
Wang Laowu, who was watching from behind, heard the noise and ran over to see Ma Damazi lying on the ground. The bloody hole on his forehead looked particularly scary under the light of the torch.
He was so frightened that he screamed and tried to run back, but was shot through the chest by an arrow.
At this time, he was on the edge of a cliff, and he fell directly off the cliff, letting out a shrill scream.
The screams only stopped after he fell to the bottom with a muffled thud.
The bandits behind the boulder were stunned. They didn't even see the enemy, and the two most powerful people in the team were dead.
It was pitch black up ahead and I couldn't see a thing, not knowing how many people there were.
However, in these vast mountains, only their Tianlang Village has survived for so many years, while the others have either been destroyed or incorporated.
Come to think of it, those ahead were just a few refugees.
However, at this time no one dared to hold the torch anymore. Everyone knew that the torch was a target, so they threw the torch to the ground and stepped on it to extinguish it.
In the bandit group, a few people who thought they had enough experience stood up and wanted to command the remaining bandits.
Dozens of people instantly split into several teams, but each had different ideas, and everyone wanted to gain more benefits.
The leaders of several teams argued with each other, all wanting to be the boss, but none of them would submit to the other.
Among the bandits who had not recognized their leader, some of them were smart and had already started hiding silver and money in their pockets.
