Chapter 66: Teaching Horseback Riding and Continuing on the Road
Lin Qingxue showed no fear at all. Her sword skills were as smooth as flowing water. Each sword strike hit the bandits' vital points. Many of the bandits' bodies fell at her feet.
Under her leadership, Lin Qingchu and others rushed out from behind the cover and engaged in close combat with the horse bandits.
However, the number of horse bandits was so large that the villagers gradually began to be unable to resist. Lin Qingxue's heart tightened, and she knew that she had to find a way to turn the situation around.
Suddenly, she thought of those torches. Regardless of whether the torches could be thrown at the bandits, they were at least a threat.
"Light the torches and throw them at the bandits!"
Lin Qingxue shouted, and soon, several villagers lit torches and threw them towards the area where the bandits were most concentrated.
Most of the bandits' clothes were flammable. Once the torches were thrown over, they instantly caught fire, and the bandits began to flee in panic again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qingxue led everyone to launch a new round of attacks. Their morale was greatly boosted, and they swung their weapons more vigorously at the horse bandits.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandit leader wanted to order a retreat, but it was too late. The villagers had surrounded them and the bandits were beaten back.
Finally, after paying a heavy price, the bandits began to flee in all directions.
Looking at the scattered horse bandits' backs as they went away, the villagers cheered, but Lin Qingxue did not let her guard down. She knew that this was just a lucky victory, and in this troubled world, there were more dangers waiting for them.
She turned and looked at everyone. Although everyone's faces were tired, they also looked relieved that they had survived the disaster.
"Everyone, don't be too happy yet. We need to treat the wounded quickly and strengthen our defenses. They might come again."
Lin Qingxue's words calmed everyone down and they all started to take action. Mingyue Temple returned to its busy state, but this time, there was an extra sense of determination after the victory.
Lin Qingxue had thought about leaving Mingyue Temple immediately, but the wounded couldn't leave, and they couldn't leave them behind.
Fortunately, the wounded were not seriously injured. They just needed to pull out the arrows and apply the wound medicine and hemostatic medicine contributed by Lin Qingxue.
"Big cousin, second cousin, take some people to clean up the mess! Bring in all the bandits' horses, and have the villagers make some carriages so we can all travel by carriage. Also, learn how to ride horses, and we can ride the extra horses ourselves."
Lin Qingxue looked at the Lin Qingchu brothers and said with a smile, at this moment, she didn't look like the murderous person she had just been.
"Okay, brothers, did you hear me? Go and free the folks in the cellar first, and everyone else should hurry and get on the carriage!"
Lin Qingchu shouted loudly, and the brothers in the patrol team shouted excitedly. Which man has not dreamed of traveling around the world with only one horse and one sword?
Lin Qingxue didn't care about them. She fought for six horses for her family, and the rest belonged to the villagers. Whoever wanted to use them could use them first, but the horses allocated to her were her personal property.
Because of the battle she had just fought, no one in the village, young or old, had any objections and everyone agreed.
While the others were sitting on the carriage, Lin Qingxue called out the four brothers Lin Qingming and the five people Lin Xiaoshan. She planned to teach them how to ride horses.
"Brother, you guys just watch from the side first," Lin Qingxue said, and without waiting for their reply, he climbed onto the horse's back swiftly and started running.
After running a few laps, Lin Qingxue found that these horses had been tamed, so she no longer had to worry about Lin Qingming and the others getting into trouble while riding horses.
Riding a horse, Lin Qingxue came to Lin Qingming and the other four people, taught them the key points of riding, and then took them in turns riding for a while. Then she got off the horse and let them get the feel of it themselves.
Maybe men are naturally good at riding horses. Lin Qingming and the other three learned to ride horses very quickly. Looking at their happy expressions, she shook her head unconsciously. The saying that men remain young until they die is indeed true.
"Okay, I've asked for six horses. Each of us will have one horse. You'll be responsible for your own horses. As for driving the carriage, Xiaoshan, you'll need to teach your brothers how to do it as soon as possible."
Lin Qingxue leaned her hands behind her back, looked at Lin Qingming and the others with a smile on her face and said that she hadn't ridden a horse for a long time and she really missed it!
"Got it," Lin Qingming and the others said in unison. Thinking about riding horses in the future, everyone smiled unconsciously.
Lin Qingxue ignored them and led the way towards Mingyue Temple. When they entered, they saw that everyone was packing their luggage. The carriage had already been made and harnessed to the horses.
"You're back. The village chief just said that he's afraid those horse bandits will come back to kill us, so we're setting off right away," someone came up to talk to the six people as soon as they entered.
Lin Qingming glanced at Lin Qingxue, nodded at the man, and said, "We understand. Let's stop talking. We also have to go back and pack our bags."
The man replied "OK" and continued to pack his luggage. When Lin Qingming and his group returned to the backyard, they saw that their family had already packed their luggage and was loading it onto the donkey cart.
Lin Qingxue frowned. She found Li Yanniang, whispered a few words to her, and put some of everyone's luggage into the space.
After about half an hour, everyone hid their luggage in the car. Lin Qingming and his four companions also took the time to teach the patrol brothers how to ride horses.
An hour later, Village Chief Lin and his family walked in the front, and the main group officially set off. Lin Qingxue rode a horse next to Kuai Qi, followed by Lin Xiaoshan, and on the other side of the donkey cart were Lin Qingran and Lin Qingmin.
The others were all riding in donkey carts, and as for the patrol, each person rode a horse, and the extra horses were led by everyone.
It wasn't long before it got dark, and as they walked along, they saw more and more corpses.
After experiencing the horse bandits, the villagers of Linjia Village dared not stop to rest. They had killed so many horse bandits, who knew if the horse bandits would come back to take revenge on them?
We walked forward all the way without even thinking about stopping for the night. Fortunately, no one was walking and everyone was in high spirits.
As they walked, daybreak began to set in. Everyone's stomachs were rumbling with hunger. Fortunately, they had prepared some dry food for the journey before setting out. The women from each family quickly took out the dry food for everyone to eat.
After filling their stomachs, the main group still did not stop. Those who knew how to drive took turns driving, while the others did not have to drive and just leaned against the bed to take a nap. This night was not uncomfortable.
Looking at the rising sun, Lin Qingxue looked ahead, as if she could see Jingfeng City. Behind Lingyun City was Jingfeng City, and beyond Jingfeng City was the Imperial City, which was their destination.
