I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 59: The Desolate Land Attacks the Mountain Village
The carriage had a hard time going up the mountain road. Jiang Yue glanced at the deep ditch, the sharp rocks and the dead trees, all covered by the snow. Not long after they went far, Cai stopped in front of a door.
My aunt came over breathlessly, "Mrs. Ying, please walk slower."
"Boom."
On the side, a stone almost as tall as a person was kicked into the ravine by Jiang Yue.
Cai was walking in front and didn’t see it. What happened?
"Oh my, oh my." The aunt saw clearly that the little girl kicked the big rock down with one kick. What a great strength it took!
Jiang Yue's eyes were sharp: "Aunt, if you follow me again, don't fall down accidentally like this stone."
Full of threats.
"If you don't want to follow me, I'll persuade your mother..."
"Really? Then I have to persuade you..."
Jiang Yue walked towards her.
My aunt couldn't help but step back. She felt her calves trembling and fell on the mountain road. This, this, was too scary. Could it be...
"roll."
My aunt was so scared that she ran away as if she had seen an evil spirit.
This house is almost at the highest point in the village. The courtyard is also built against the mountain and is divided into several levels like steps. The three stone houses on the high ground can be seen from the courtyard wall.
An old man in front of the door was startled by the sound and was looking towards them.
"mother--"
Cai couldn't bear it any longer, so she pushed open the brown gate, climbed the stairs, and trotted to the old man.
The old man was puzzled at first, then excited, and tremblingly grabbed Cai's hand: "You are, you are Madam Ying..."
After she finished speaking, tears flowed from her cloudy eyes, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The people in the room heard the noise and came out one after another, one, two, three... thirteen people?
Jiang Yue said secretly, the family is surprisingly prosperous.
However, there were both men and women, old and young in this group of people, so she couldn’t tell them apart. Only one old man with completely gray hair and beard could be sure that he was her grandfather.
Jiang Yue secretly looked at the faces of several women and finally confirmed that it was her aunt. She looked very similar to her mother, but she looked at least ten years older than her mother.
Grandpa and aunt also hugged Cai and cried and cried. After a lot of persuasion from everyone around them, they finally wiped their tears and welcomed the people in.
My aunt hurriedly introduced the people in the room, and I learned that, except for my tall and thin cousin, the rest were my aunt's two sisters-in-law. The village of the two sisters-in-law was severely affected by the disaster, and nine out of ten houses were crushed. They had nowhere to live, so they just moved in with their sister-in-law's family.
My aunt only said, "This is the only advantage of our valley. It can protect us from wind and snow. The snow is blocked by the mountain tops."
"Sister Ying, where are the other members of your family? Are they badly affected by the disaster?"
Jiang Yue didn't listen to their reminiscing and went out to wait in the yard.
I could only vaguely hear Cai say, "Everything is fine at home... I just came to see you two elders."
Feeling the cold wind, Jiang Yue looked down the mountain and suddenly felt that something was increasingly wrong.
A group of riders were coming towards the village, and their clothing was different from what she usually saw.
"Cousin, come and see what those people do?"
The cousin stood beside Jiang Yue and looked in the direction of her finger.
"The clothes look like those of people from Jueyu." My cousin's face became serious, and he was suddenly shocked: "They robbed—"
Jiang Yue's heart sank as she recalled the news she had heard before about the invasion of an enemy country in the western region.
"Cousin Yue, come with me into the house and inform everyone. Let's hide in the mountains quickly."
Jiang Yue didn't go into the house. Instead, he turned around and got into the carriage, taking out the crossbow and gun that he had prepared long ago.
"Come quickly!" Cousin Wan Fubao was afraid that Jiang Yue didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he shouted sternly.
Jiang Yue put the quiver on his back, tucked the dagger into his waist, and strode over with a crossbow in one hand.
When he saw Wan Fubao, he calmly ordered him: "Do you have a cellar or something at home? Take them and hide in there. I will guard the courtyard wall and won't let them in."
"How can that be possible? How can a little girl like you protect them? Are you going to die?"
"Go quickly and protect my mother!"
Wan Fubao was stunned. Jiang Yue's eyes were full of murderous intent and her aura was like ice, which made him, a grown man, feel fear unconsciously.
"Go quickly!"
Jiang Yue took aim and pulled the trigger with her crossbow, shooting an arrow at the butt of a fat pig from a village. On the one hand, she wanted to show her cousin that she was capable of holding the pig, and on the other hand, the noise she made could also serve as a way to notify the villagers.
The big fat pig was in pain, screaming and squeaking, and even ran out of the pigpen and started running rampant in the village.
Wan Fubao stopped talking, turned around and left, arranging for his family to go into the cellar first.
Hearing the noise, more than a dozen people quickened their speed and rushed into the village. They split into four waves at the entrance of the village and rushed in different directions.
The villagers screamed in fear. Some of the walls were low, so the people from Jueyu jumped in directly on horseback. The villagers inside had no time to resist and were stabbed! They killed anyone they saw and looted everything of value.
Jiang Yue frowned, took out the arrow and loaded it into the crossbow. There were two people from Jueyu running towards this side excitedly.
"Are you coming towards us?" Wan Fubao ran over again with an iron fork.
Jiang Yue hummed, "There are two of them, with knives and bows and arrows. I asked you to keep an eye on my mother, why are you out again?"
Wan Fubao was a little frightened, but still pretended to be calm: "My aunt and my mother are watching. I, I will help you." After saying that, he swallowed.
Jiang Yue nodded and said, "I'll call you if I need you. Don't move here now."
Wan Fubao responded with an "oh", took a deep breath, and stood by the door.
Ta-da-da, the sound of horse hooves became clearer and clearer.
Wan Fubao was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe, his face turned red, and with a "whoosh" sound, his heart instantly rose to his throat.
There was only a scream of "Ah" and then a dull "bang" sound, and a man from the Jueyu region fell to the ground and died with a fatal arrow stuck straight in the center of his forehead.
When another man from the Wilderness saw his companion fall, he turned his horse around without hesitation and galloped away, trying to escape.
Want to run? You can't run away anymore.
Jiang Yue shot another arrow, and the man tried to lie on the horse's back to avoid it.
Unexpectedly, the arrow seemed to have eyes and went straight into the body. Then the man fell off the galloping horse, rolled several times in the snow, his body twitched a few times, and then he became motionless.
"Cousin, I'll cover you here. Go pick up the arrows and hide the two dead men."
Wan Fubao didn't hesitate at all, he gripped the iron fork tightly and ran out.
Wan Fubao slipped to the side of the man from Jueyu, trying his best not to look at his two big eyes that were still open. He made up his mind, grasped the arrow with both hands, pulled it out, and threw it into the yard quickly.
Then he dragged the body to hide in the haystack outside the door. After doing all this, he quickly ran back home, slammed the door shut, and leaned against it to breathe heavily.
Jiang Yue walked up and patted his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, just treat it as if you were killing an animal."
The two horses were frightened and ran back to the village, and four or five people walked towards her without any eyes.
Jiang Yue took one look and shot several arrows, all of which hit their targets, and all four men fell down.
The remaining seven or eight people at the back didn't expect that there was an archer in this small mountain village, and they retreated in fear.
The people from Jueyu were launching a surprise attack, and wanted to take advantage of the snowstorm in Qingzhou to rob people. The best idea was to cause chaos in Qingzhou, the more chaotic the better.
Seeing that this small mountain village was difficult to capture, they decisively gave up, packed up the looted items and quickly evacuated.
A fire broke out in the village, and the village chiefs and clan leaders shouted to the crowd to stop the villagers from resisting.
Jiang Yue pursed her lips and returned home.
Wan Fubao called the people out of the cellar and whispered, "The others ran away on horseback."
Cai was anxious, and she pulled Jiang Yue to look around before she found that she was fine, and she was relieved. When she heard Fubao say that there were people from Jueyu, Cai was shocked and terrified. She didn't expect her daughter to be so powerful and beat the people away.
The village head struck the gong and gathered people together.
"The Archer is coming!"
Someone shouted and everyone in the crowd looked over.
Wan Fubao introduced Jiang Yue to the villagers and told them how Jiang Yue killed six thieves.
Everyone in the village showed an expression of gratitude, saying that it was fortunate that the Wan family had such a powerful relative.
The aunt-in-law widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Yue in disbelief. She didn't expect that she would dare to kill people!
Wan Fubao and his family all showed an expression of admiration.
The head of the village explained that he had sent people to report to the police, but it would take until dark for the police to arrive at the earliest.
Jiang Yue was in a hurry to go home and didn't want to wait. She told the village head what she meant, and he nodded, indicating that he understood. He only told her to be careful when she returned.
Someone counted the casualties, and the atmosphere became gloomy. The Wan family returned home in silence.
Cai's eyes couldn't help but become moist, as she was worried that the thieves would come again. She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and said goodbye to her parents.
