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

The men stopped in their tracks in shock when they saw the corpses scattered across the hall.

An old grudge who was on good terms with the second brother turned around and called people in.

"Second brother, come quick!"

The second brother pushed through the crowd and walked towards the inn's lobby.

The inn lobby was dimly lit.

As they got closer, a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

As they got closer, they discovered that there were many corpses lying haphazardly on the floor of the hall.

Looking at those blood-stained faces, they were clearly brothers from their gang.

The most conspicuous thing is the five corpses kneeling against the wall on the right.

After seeing the face clearly, the second brother's voice was filled with sorrow.

"Third, fourth!"

He kicked aside the table blocking his way and ran inside.

Seeing this, the man beside him quickly stepped forward to protect him.

When the second brother got up from the ground, his face was full of hatred.

These brothers have been through thick and thin together for so many years, never expecting that the third and fourth brothers would meet their end in this run-down inn.

He immediately gave the order in a cold voice.

"Old Chou, heed my command! Tonight, it's a fight to the death!"

As he spoke, he stepped back a few paces and ordered his men to rush upstairs.

At this moment, Bai Song led everyone to retreat to the third-floor stairwell.

After Lao Chou led a group of men upstairs, they searched all the rooms and found that there was no one on the second floor.

Just as they were about to continue up to the third floor, they heard the sound of an arrow.

Immediately afterwards, the person in front of him fell backward.

Seeing the arrow still trembling at the man's neck, Lao Chou was so frightened that he stopped breathing for a moment.

Then, he retreated backward, his legs shaking.

He retreated to the stairwell and reported to his second brother downstairs in a trembling voice.

"Second brother, that archer upstairs is very skilled."

If we charge in head-on, the casualties will definitely be high.

But by this time, the second brother was already blinded by the death of his own brother and only wanted revenge.

"Charge! If we don't take down these men tonight, our Mighty Army can forget about living in Dongyuan City!"

When Lao Chou saw his second brother shout these words with bloodshot eyes, he was so frightened that he trembled.

He ran up to the second floor, directed people to bring out tables from the room, and used them as a shield as he walked upstairs.

This trick really works.

The arrow was blocked by the wooden table, losing most of its force.

Old Chou was overjoyed at the sight and immediately shouted for everyone to rush up.

At the top of the stairs on the third floor, Bai Song saw this scene and pulled Lu Qingqing back.

He called out to Yan Xu, ordering him to lead his men to resist.

This gives them a terrain advantage, as they occupy the high ground.

With a considerable number of people, guarding this stairwell entrance shouldn't be too difficult.

Overall, Bai Song is relatively optimistic about the situation.

Seeing Yan Xu directing his men to fight and defend, he helped the trembling old man Zhuang to the side and led him to the house next door.

"Uncle Zhuang, why don't you take a nap here for a while?"

By the time you wake up, this battle will probably be over!

Old Zhuang couldn't relax at all, even though he heard him speak so casually.

There was no other reason than the incessant sounds of clashing knives, fighting, and screams outside.

In this environment, even the God of War would find it difficult to fall asleep.

Seeing that Old Man Zhuang had lain down, Bai Song turned and went out the door.

Watching the battle at the stairwell, an idea came to him.

He called Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang over and spoke to them in a low voice.

They learned that the two could easily descend from the third floor to the first floor by hanging a rope.

And once this action was completed, he quietly told the two of them about the plan.

The plan details specific locations and the number of people to be accommodated.

In summary, the plan was to have Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang lead their men down to the first floor and block the entrance.

If these men dare to surround and kill them, they can forget about leaving alive.

Or rather, Bai Song couldn't possibly let them escape and report the news.

No one can escape before leaving the city gates tomorrow morning.

Seeing that Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang agreed, Bai Song selected more than thirty skilled men from the team.

Afterwards, they followed Lu Qingqing around the third floor and finally chose a corner in the backyard as their place to stay.

The backyard was littered with corpses from the previous fighting.

Furthermore, with the courtyard gate tightly closed, the men who rushed in only glanced at the entrance before leaving.

At this time, most of the men who were fighting were gathered on the second floor, waiting to attack upwards.

A few others waited in the lobby on the first floor.

There was no one in the backyard at this time.

After finalizing their plan, Lu Qingqing and the others quickly tied bed sheets into a long rope.

After securing the rope, Qin Lang took the lead and jumped down.

This movement was used by Coach Yan during training.

Therefore, he was very skilled when he came down.

He jumped down four times while holding onto the rope, and landed steadily.

Then, Lu Qingqing did the same thing.

Because she is lighter, she looks more agile when doing this movement.

After the two men got off, it was the soldiers' turn.

The first soldier to follow was gripping the rope tightly.

Not everyone has the courage to jump from the third floor with just a rope.

But because Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing set an example, the men behind them had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.

Lu Qingqing told Qin Lang to watch the soldiers go down, while she quietly made her way towards the hall.

At this moment, there were only five or six men in the lobby on the first floor.

The second brother was sitting between the corpses of the third and fourth brothers, his face full of grief.

The men beside him were also very silent.

In the lobby on the first floor, only the sounds of fighting coming from upstairs could be heard.

Lu Qingqing quietly stepped back and checked the lock on the backyard door.

After making sure the gate was closed, I returned to the corner of the backyard.

By this time, more than a dozen soldiers had come down.

On the third floor, Bai Song had already explained the action plan to them.

After all thirty-odd people came down, they stormed into the lobby and blocked the main entrance on the first floor.

At the same time, Bai Song will lead his men to charge down.

We must attack from both sides and trap them inside the inn.

In less than fifteen minutes, everyone had come down.

On the third floor, where the ropes were tied, Bai Song saw that they had all gone down and gestured downwards.

Qin Lang nodded to him and led his men towards the hall.

When they rushed in, the people in the hall were still in a daze.

After realizing what was happening, he dodged while shouting for help upstairs.

Seeing that someone was trying to escape, Lu Qingqing's arrows were already waiting.

The first one to be aimed at is the one running in the lead.

An arrow flew, striking him squarely in the back!

The second brother, who was originally extremely sad, lost all his grief upon seeing this scene, leaving only panic on his face.

He grabbed a tall, thin man and used him as a shield, then backed upstairs.

What just happened was quite obvious.

If someone tries to run away now, they will be targeted immediately.

He made the wise choice not to continue confronting them directly.

But even if he moves up the ranks, Lu Qingqing has no intention of letting him go.

An arrow was shot out during the brief moment he peeked out.

Unexpectedly, this person was extremely cunning.

It peeked out for only a moment before disappearing back inside.

The arrow struck the right shoulder of the person blocking his way.

After being shot, the man screamed in pain and struggled to get away.

But the second brother was a trained fighter, and he had great strength in his hands, holding the man's arm firmly.

The man was injured and could no longer dodge.

They were dragged along like that, heading upstairs.

At this moment, Qin Lang had already led his men to deal with the remaining people in the lobby on the first floor.

But this time, they did not continue to chase after their second brother.

Instead, they moved the relatively intact tables from the lobby to the doorway.

Tie the two tables together with a rope, and then tie the tables on the left and right sides together.

In this way, all of the dozen or so tables were secured.

Blocking the doorway constitutes an obstruction.

At this moment, Bai Song also heard the commotion and organized the people upstairs to fight down.

During the fight, some people upstairs were already fleeing downstairs.

At this moment, the queue in the lobby on the first floor immediately split into two groups.

A group of more than ten people went to the backyard.
