Chapter 11: Encountering Barbarian Soldiers
He Yuhua never imagined that one day she would be bullied by her daughter-in-law.
She brought her two sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandsons with her to settle accounts with Ling Xin.
But... halfway through, they saw Ling Xin holding a machete and looking at them grimly.
He Yuhua was frightened, turned around and went back.
They were all flesh and blood. She didn't dare to confront her head-on even if there were men.
He Yuhua looked at Ling Xin with hatred for a long time before she suppressed her anger.
The two daughters-in-law who caused trouble were even more frightened, especially Li Cuilan, whose palms were still hurting.
Ling Xin scared their grandmother away with a knife. Several cute kids looked at her with admiration: "Mom, you are so awesome, you even scared our grandmother away!"
"Xinxin is so awesome!" Yu Qiuxia also clapped her hands happily.
Ling Xin didn't think He Yuhua would let her off so easily: "You should be more careful in the future and stay away from them!"
Eight heads nodded together.
"Let's go!" With the village chief's shout, the team set off.
Compared to yesterday, the weather today is hotter. After walking for less than an hour, they are already exhausted.
Along the way, they saw many people lying on the ground. They didn't know whether they were exhausted or dead.
Ling Xin is not a doctor and has no ability to save them. All she can do is save their family's lives.
"Dad, try to walk in the middle of the road!" she reminded her old father.
She was not sure if it was a dead person, so she tried to avoid contact.
Fortunately, her father was obedient.
Without pushing the cart, her task was to keep an eye on the family and feed them secretly.
Today she took out the snowy green bean cake she had stockpiled earlier.
It had a soft and spongy texture that melts in your mouth, and you didn't even have to worry about being discovered while chewing.
The drink was refreshing sour plum soup.
As noon approached, Erya couldn't help but say, "Mom... eldest aunt has been peeking at us!"
This made her very uneasy.
Ling Xin had already noticed it and looked over from time to time.
Li Cuilan was also a timid person. As soon as she looked over there, she would immediately look away.
"Don't worry..." Just as she opened her mouth to comfort Erya, a shrill scream interrupted her words.
The sound was so loud that the whole team was in an uproar.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"Who is shouting?"
The crowd was restless, trying to find out where the sudden shout came from.
Ling Xin immediately carried Dabao, who was walking beside the cart, onto the cart: "Don't get off the cart, hold on tight!"
Although I don't know why he screamed, but that shout definitely meant something big had happened.
And the sound came from behind.
She didn't have time to explain, she grabbed the cart, pushed it and ran forward: "Mom and Dad, follow me!"
Ling Zhifeng and Yu Qiuxia obeyed their daughter unconditionally and immediately followed her and ran forward.
Everyone didn't know the exact situation, so when they saw someone running, they naturally followed.
"What are you running for?" Although Wang Qiong was panicked, she couldn't help but complain when she saw Ling Xin's frightened look.
But Widow Wang was more perceptive than her. She grabbed her collar and ran into the woods nearby: "Go quickly!"
"Mom..."
"There are barbarian soldiers chasing us!"
Wang Qiong didn't believe it and looked back while running.
It was not a big deal to look back, but this time, she was almost scared to death.
On the official road, dust was flying, and countless horses were galloping.
The preliminary estimate is that there are several hundred people.
Each of them had a weapon in their hands, and wherever they passed, anyone who ran slowly would be chopped down, regardless of whether they were adults or children.
It seems that human lives are just ants in their eyes, and they could trample and kill them at will.
"Haha... I killed thirty-six people, leave the kid in front to me!" The barbarian shouted arrogantly and excitedly, and stabbed a boy of eight or nine years old with the long spear in his hand.
The boy was covered in bruises and was injured in many places.
Seeing that the barbarian soldier rushed towards him, he gathered all his strength and ran forward.
Seeing the spear was about to reach behind him, he was stuck in despair, and fell forward with his whole body spread out. The fall was very severe.
He managed to dodge the attack.
The boy was exhausted and used his last bit of strength to turn around and look at the barbarian soldier.
"You are so useless!" Seeing his face covered in blood, the barbarian soldier laughed wildly and pointed his spear at him.
"Don't waste time here, it's urgent to capture the fifth prince!"
The barbarian soldier could only put away his weapon and ride his horse to catch up with the team in front.
The boy looked like he wouldn't be able to survive even if he didn't kill him.
The fifth prince who escaped death did not move immediately. It was not until all the barbarian troops had passed by that he climbed up with great difficulty.
Yesterday, his people took away most of the troops to cover him, and no one knows what happened to them.
He took a deep breath in confusion, he went to hide between the trees nearby.
He couldn't guarantee whether the barbarian soldiers would turn around and come back, so he had to be careful.
On the other side...
Although Ling Xin did not see the barbarian soldiers, her keen intuition as a special forces soldier for many years made her know that there was danger.
After running a distance, she sneaked into the trees nearby.
There were many people in the large team, and there were risk of encountering road blockage at the front.
The sound of chopping and killing behind was getting closer.
If you keep running on the main road, you will be easily caught up by the enemy.
But... the big cart was very tiring at this time.
After going in a short distance, they were blocked by trees and could not go any further.
Behind them, the villagers also belatedly went into the woods.
Suddenly, the forest was filled with people.
Ling Xin had no choice but to stop the cart and push her parents down one by one.
Fortunately, there were some weeds in front that blocked most of the view.
"Mom... I'm scared!" Wu Ya's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Shh... Don't make a sound!" Ling Xin hugged Wu Ya in her arms.
Yu Qiuxia also took Liu Ya with her.
The remaining few older ones, according to Ling Xin's request, lay on the cart one by one.
Qi Bao seemed to be in Ling Xin's basket, but in fact he had always been in the space.
Soon after, they saw a group of armored barbarians chasing after them.
Wherever they passed, anyone who didn't escape were either knocked down by horses or hacked to death, which was extremely tragic.
Ling Xin clenched her fists.
At this moment, the female soldier's consciousness surged out, she wanted to rush out and fight a bloody battle.
As if sensing her thoughts, Dabao placed his sweaty little hand on the back of her hand.
Ling Xin saw Dabao's uneasiness, and the surging blood fell instantly.
She alone could not defeat four people with her own two fists.
Moreover, in this body, it was difficult for her to protect herself, let alone kill everyone.
She tried her best to recognize every face and engraved them in her mind.
Just when she thought the barbarians were going to move forward, the barbarian leader shouted, "Stop..."
Several hundred people tightened their reins at the same time and stopped.
Ling Xin's hiding place was in a straight line with the barbarians, only a few dozen meters away.
Especially the group of people hiding not far in front of her, they began to sob out of fear.
The withered branches moved without wind.
