The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 856 Sharing the Same Ground as a Trapped Beast

Upon hearing the sound of the arrow, the leopard abruptly stopped in its tracks.

When the villagers on the ground turned around in their panic, they were met with a huge leopard that was trying to hunt them down.

The cold light emanating from those fierce eyes made him tremble.

With just one glance, he was so frightened that he covered his head and screamed.

The cries continued to echo in the snow cave, giving Lu Qingqing a headache.

She endured the discomfort, staring intently into the darkness behind the villagers, her bow and arrow poised to fire.

The villagers in the middle of the snow cave finally came to their senses after screaming for a while.

He moved the villagers on top of him, using them as shields, and slowly retreated.

Unlike Lu Qingqing, he could see a pair of unseen, eerie yellow eyes in the darkness.

Those eyes were staring at him coldly, as if they might pounce on him at any moment and tear him apart.

The man's heart pounded like a drum, and he trembled as he backed away.

Remembering Lu Qingqing above the snow cave, he pleaded for help in a trembling voice.

"Young Master Lu, please save me, please save me!"

I don't want to die!

Lu Qingqing's gaze was fixed on the spot where the leopard had just hidden, and she said to the man:

"Don't move. I'll get someone to lower a rope for you and get you up."

Upon hearing that he could be rescued, the man readily agreed.

"Okay, okay, I won't move, please hurry and save me."

That guy kept staring at me!

Qin Lang and several men also heard the commotion below, and quickly sent one of them to find a rope.

But the only rope as long as the one they're using now is the one Lu Qingqing brought.

If they wanted to lower the rope to rescue the people, they could only use the rope that they had originally used to tie up the blankets.

While they were searching for the rope, the man in the middle of the snow cave was constantly being stared at by the leopard, which terrified him to the point of collapse.

"Are you done yet? Hurry up!"

"Waaah, hurry, hurry!"

The constant urging caused Old Sun, who was in charge, to break out in a sweat.

Seeing this, Qin Lang called over two more men to help him.

The three of them moved together, which greatly increased their speed.

But the men below couldn't see the progress from above, and felt that each day was an eternity.

He saw the leopard's gleaming eyes seem to move forward slightly, and he burst into tears in fright.

The cries from below were too loud, and Lu Qingqing was worried that they would anger the leopard.

She tried to calm the man down, but his attention was entirely focused on the leopard.

He wouldn't listen to anything Lu Qingqing said.

All he could do was cry and shout for a rope.

Amidst the cries, two more villagers were awakened by him.

They had been frozen for so long that they were stiff when they moved around.

Without exception, they screamed in terror upon discovering the beast lurking in the darkness.

The two, who had just woken up, ignored the advice of the man who woke up first and ran in the opposite direction from the leopard.

The moment she saw them running, Lu Qingqing knew something was wrong.

"Go back quickly, hurry!"

As the shout rang out, a lithe figure swiftly moved towards that spot, disappearing into the darkness surrounding the snow cave.

The two people below noticed that the leopard was chasing them and screamed as they ran.

Lu Qingqing quickly pulled out the pistol from her bosom, cocked it, aimed it downwards, and prepared to fire.

But the two men ran into the darkness, and she couldn't see anything at all.

After that shot, who knows who will die?

Just as they were getting anxious, the man who woke up first ran forward and pulled the two of them back to the middle of the snow cave.

When the leopard saw the two return to the light, it actually shrank back again.

Upon seeing this, the three villagers, panting heavily, carefully protected the lantern that was still emitting light.

Now, the only light in the entire snow cave comes from the last two torches that Lu Qingqing just threw down.

The rest of the time, we relied entirely on the lantern that had fallen but hadn't gone out for light.

Knowing that the leopard wouldn't attack them when they were in the light, the three began their search.

Seeing a extinguished torch not far away, he turned and glanced at the leopard.

They moved little by little toward the torch.

After finally getting the torch, they carefully moved it back.

Use the flame from the lantern to light the torch.

While they were working, Sun Laohai and the others outside the snow cave finally prepared the rope.

Sun Laohai instructed the people behind him to hold the rope tightly and carefully walk towards the entrance of the snow cave.

When I got close, I was so afraid of falling that I crawled across on my stomach.

After seeing the situation inside the snow cave, he grabbed the rope in his hand and threw it directly to the three people below.

"You Sang, catch the rope."

The three people below saw the rope being swung down, and without caring about their fear, they got up and grabbed the rope.

After all this, seeing that the leopard opposite him didn't move, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When it came to who should go first, all three wanted to go first.

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Lu Qingqing said coldly:

"Whoever is furthest from the leopard goes first!"

If we dawdle any longer, we'll all lose our lives!

The three of them naturally understood this principle. You Sang quickly grabbed the rope and tied it around his waist.

Seeing this, the two people on the side were reluctant to loosen the rope.

It wasn't until Sang tied the rope around his waist four or five times and made two tight knots that he shouted upwards.

"Quick, I'm ready! Help me up!"

Sun Laohai, who was above, had already left the entrance of the snow cave and called over three more men, who were waiting to pull the rope.

Then you'll hear shouts and start taking action.

As the rope swayed, Sang slowly lifted off the ground.

Lu Qingqing watched this scene with some nervousness, staring at the shadowy spot opposite You Sang.

Sure enough, when the mulberry tree was about one meter above the ground...

The leopard gathered its strength and leaped into the air.

The large claws went straight for You Sang's head.

If this grip were to be firm, a layer of skin on Sang's face would probably be torn off.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qingqing had already spotted the pistol there and slightly shifted her position.

Immediately following, with a 'bang' of a gunshot, the bullet pierced the leopard's neck.

Blood spurted out as the bullet flew out.

The large claw stopped less than ten centimeters from the door of the mulberry tree and fell straight down.

After the leopard crashed heavily to the ground, it twitched a few times and then remained motionless.

Soon, the surrounding snow was stained red with blood.

At this moment, You Sang, who was hanging in mid-air, was completely terrified.

Liquid was dripping down his trouser leg.

But at times like this, no one will laugh at him.
