The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land
Chapter 53 Taking refuge
This was the second time Bai Jingzhi witnessed a bad guy die.
With the experience of Jiang Zhu fighting ten people alone last time, he was not as scared this time.
The last time the ground was stained red, it lingered in her mind.
This time it was not nearly as horrible as last time.
Bai Jingzhi managed to hold back his composure in front of Jiang Zhu, and this time he was just slightly dazed.
She had the bow in her hands, gripping it with all her strength, but she couldn't lift it.
After all, I can't get over the psychological barrier.
"Are you scared silly?" Bai Zhao took care of the man in a few moves and covered his daughter's eyes.
Bai Jingzhi took a deep breath and said, "No, I'm just trying to adapt to the rules of survival here."
"You have to adapt as quickly as possible. If you get separated, it's important to save your life." Bai Zhao's hands were also shaking slightly. "If things get chaotic here, there will be no moral bottom line."
"I know, Dad."
When the father and daughter finished their conversation, the man they met in the afternoon was still standing below, turning the axe in his hand nervously.
"Don't leave yet!"
Bai Zhao scolded directly. He could see that this man was not the same kind as those people on the ground, so he decided to let him go.
"Thank you very much!" The man saluted with his fists, then turned around and kicked the dead old woman a few times before leaving.
"Dad, isn't this a man's mother?"
"Of course not. I knew something was wrong when the old woman took the lead in grabbing ginseng instead of caring about her son in the afternoon."
Also, just now, the man's hatred for the old woman was not fake.
Bai Jingzhi didn't think of this, she still didn't think it through comprehensively.
"Dad, if we let him go like this, will it be~"
"The people at the bottom of this dynasty are all pitiful. I have a weapon to defend against wolves, but I don't want to kill lambs."
Bai Zhao said this casually and Bai Jingzhi was stunned on the spot.
After the father and daughter returned to the tree house, Mr. and Mrs. Bai packed up their things and hid in a corner trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.
"Okay, those people have been dealt with, let's go back to sleep!"
"They're gone?" Xiao Wang asked uncertainly.
"gone!"
This time, Bai Zhao simply left the lights on. With those corpses outside, others would have to think twice before taking advantage.
They are not afraid even if no one attracts beasts. The large animals in the forest cannot get up, so they are safe.
I feel dawn.
"You guys kept watch all night?" Bai Zhao couldn't sleep in the second half of the night. It was his first time reaping lives, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare show it in front of his daughter.
As soon as he walked out of the tree house, the three people below were startled.
The man from last night was guarding under the tree house, holding a big hammer in his hand. With him was a thin young man and a pale old woman.
The man and the young man look similar and look like brothers.
"My benefactor, we have decided to follow you, please accept us." The man lowered his head, bowed, and looked back at his mother and brother.
The old woman was covered with a tattered mat. It was late at night and the dew was heavy, so the mat was already damp.
The thin young man coughed a few times and his face turned red.
Seeing this, Bai Zhao frowned and said, "We are ordinary people too. We are so grateful for your kindness. I cannot accept it. Please leave now!"
After saying this, Bai Zhao hurried back to the tree house.
"Let's not leave the tree house today unless it's necessary. There are too many people outside now and it's not safe."
The outside was handled cleanly, which made Bai Zhao even more nervous.
"Jingzhi, go get the wild ginseng from yesterday and send these people away."
Bai Zhao feels a little regretful now. He should have cut the root of the problem last night.
The big hammer looked heavy, but it felt like nothing in the man's hand.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Bai Jingzhi pretended to take out wild ginseng from the backpack.
Many of the herbs they picked yesterday were very precious in their original world.
Bai Jingzhi put the herbs in Guiyuantianju's pharmacy, intending to give Wei Hongmian a surprise later.
"That man came again last night. He cleaned up the outside. He had a big hammer in his hand. He didn't look like a good guy."
Bai Zhao took the ginseng and went out.
Bai Jingzhi also followed him out, and she quietly put the bow and arrow from last night into Bai Zhao's hand.
"Here you go, take your family and go! We are also ordinary people, we cannot take the responsibility for other people's lives."
Bai Zhao threw the ginseng towards the man. The father and daughter did not rush in, but just watched the three men at the door.
The man took the ginseng and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the thin young man next to him.
"We are from the Tie family of Lianzhou," the thin young man took out a few arrows from the luggage beside him, "We admire this casting process very much, and we want to follow...Sir, we have no ill intentions."
Bai Zhao is now wearing his original clothes. His original body was not successful in the imperial examinations, but he loved wearing scholar's clothing.
He showed his might last night without batting an eyelid, and the man did not address him as sir.
This thin young man has good eyesight.
Bai Zhao is 1.8 meters tall. He used to be decadent, but after being on the road these days, he looks a bit healthier than before.
Not like a weak scholar.
When the thin young man spoke, Bai Jingzhi knew that he had something to ask for.
He must be a blacksmith, coveting the skills of future generations.
Bai Jingzhi tugged at Bai Zhao's sleeve, "Dad, do you know how these arrows are forged?"
"How would I know? It's not very common to produce these things in our place, so I wouldn't pay attention to them.
These bows and arrows were purchased in bulk, and Guiyuantianju still has quite a few.
But there should be some books of this kind in the study room. If that doesn’t work, you can look through the Guiyuanda Curie Library, which may also have these popular science books.”
"..."
Bai Jingzhi didn't know what to say.
The design of Guiyuantianju is very good, but there are some disputes among the family regarding leisure and entertainment.
It was she who suggested the library, and now it comes in handy.
At that time, books were still very valuable, and most of the books that spread knowledge were in the hands of wealthy families.
I just don’t know what the Wei family’s collection of books is like. Wei Liu’s mouth is harder than a river clam.
Thinking of the Wei family, Bai Jingzhi remembered something, "Dad, there should be an iron mine in Taiming Mountain. Maybe the Tie family can use it in the future."
"No, girl, do you really want to rebel? We have no money or people, what can we use to fight for territory with others!"
Bai Zhao dragged Bai Jingzhi back to the tree house and ignored the people outside.
In the tree house, Mr. and Mrs. Bai were still drying the food they had collected and were not paying attention to what the father and daughter were saying.
"My girl, don't believe what the original person said in the villa. This guy is not reliable. Maybe he just made up some stories to deceive us!"
The more Bai Zhao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
If their family becomes powerful, the Bai family will still benefit from it.
"Dad, think about that bronze token. I have been kidnapped many times. We have no power and we are really at the mercy of the enemy."
Her father had been in business all his life, and had always believed that harmony brings wealth, so it was understandable that his ideas changed from time to time.
After last night's shooting, Bai Zhao had already pushed his limit.
"What is the purpose of Wei Shou leaving these things behind?" Bai Zhao was puzzled.
