Chapter 71: Difficult Choice Bandit Ambush
Time soon came to the next night, and the villagers sat together again, with a solemn look on everyone's face.
During these two days, everyone was discussing the village chief's words enthusiastically. Some families were really reluctant to part with their donkey carts and horse carts. After all, they were bought with their savings over the years.
But compared with these, everyone would rather their family be safe and sound. Village chief Lin saw the villagers' struggles.
Compared to the villagers' conflicted expressions, the Lin family members were all very quiet, because they believed that no matter which choice they made, as long as the family was together in peace, the rest could be earned back later.
Lin Qingxue had already agreed with Uncle Lin and the others that she would not sell her donkey cart and horse carriage. She would find a deserted place and store them in the space, and then find an opportunity to take them out and use them later.
Lin Qingchu looked around, frowned, stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Have you all thought it through? Do you want to continue forward or what? I hope everyone will think it through. Don't agree to continue forward or take the mountain road just now. If something really goes wrong, you will regret it and blame others."
After hearing what Lin Qingchu said, everyone fell into deep thought. They couldn't guarantee that if they made the wrong choice, they would not blame others if something went wrong. Sometimes human nature is just like that.
The villagers of Linjia Village who were in a meeting did not notice at all that a group of apprentices were lying in the dry grass two hundred meters ahead. Judging from the number of people, there were at least three hundred of them. Each bandit was a tall and mighty man, holding axes and other weapons in his hands.
These bandits were villagers from Linjia Village who were discovered the day before yesterday. They had been hiding here for a day. Because there were so many villagers, they even went back to the bandit's lair to tip off the gang.
"Brother Dong, how long do we have to wait? If we wait any longer, those people will eat up all the food," a ferocious-looking younger brother next to the suspected bandit leader said in a low voice.
"Yes! Brother Dong, the boss told us that we came out this time to rob food and our wife," said a younger brother who was equally ferocious on the other side of Brother Dong.
"Don't worry, we will go to rob after dark. It will be too conspicuous during the day. Tell the brothers to have a good rest so that they can have strength to work at night," Dong Ge said with a stern face and expressionless eyes, looking at the villagers of Linjia Village as if they were looking at dead people.
Here, this group of bandits agreed to rob the villagers of Linjia Village at night.
On the other side, the villagers of Linjia Village gathered together and discussed their next move with a serious expression. They knew very well that this decision might affect the fate of the entire village, and no one was willing to make a choice that might bring disaster to themselves.
In this tense atmosphere, everyone was lost in thought. Some frowned, constantly thinking about various possibilities; some whispered to the people around them, trying to find a better solution.
However, no matter how much they discussed it, they were unable to find a method that was both safe and effective.
At this time, the Lin family's expressions were slightly more relaxed, but only slightly better than others. They understood that even though it seemed relatively safe now, the variables in the future still made them feel uneasy.
The faces of other villagers showed deep worry and helplessness. They knew that if they could not come up with a perfect plan, endless suffering and danger would be waiting for them.
"Everyone, make a decision quickly! Whether it's selling the carriages and donkey carts for silver or continuing on, we must come up with a plan by tomorrow morning. We can't waste any more time here."
Lin Qingxue looked at everyone helplessly. She was really not decisive enough, but she didn't know what to say. If it was only the Lin family, it would be fine.
For some reason, Lin Qingxue felt very uneasy. She always felt like something was going to happen.
As everyone was struggling, it soon got dark. The villagers of Linjia Village, who had not yet made up their minds, went back to their own residence for dinner under the disappointed look of Village Chief Lin.
After dinner, Lin Qingxue's three sisters-in-law stayed to clean up the dishes, while everyone else was packing their luggage. Whether they continued on their journey or sold the donkey cart, they had to rearrange their luggage. The important things had to be put into the space by Lin Qingxue in a locked room.
The sky was getting darker and darker. The villagers of Linjia Village were busy packing their luggage. The atmosphere was dull and depressing. While Lin Qingxue was helping, her uneasiness grew stronger.
Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came from a distance. Lin Qingxue vigilantly stopped what she was doing and listened attentively.
The others seemed to have noticed something was wrong as well. They stopped what they were doing and looked around nervously.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if countless people were approaching. The Lin family members looked at each other, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.
Lin Qingxue lowered her voice and said, "Everyone be careful, something might happen."
At this moment, a group of black shadows rushed out from the darkness. They were the bandits. They were holding weapons and rushing towards the villagers of Linjia Village with great momentum.
The villagers were suddenly panicked. Some screamed and ran away, while others picked up the tools around them and tried to resist.
The Lin family quickly gathered together. Lin Qingxue took out some weapons from the space and distributed them to Lin Qingming and the others. She whispered, "Qingyue, take the children and hide behind the donkey cart. Sisters-in-law, each of you take a weapon and protect grandparents and the uncle and aunt in the middle. Second wife Liu, first wife Liu, you and your mother-in-law take Xiao Wen and hide in the middle."
Lin Qingxue's words were like a spiritual spring that flowed into everyone's minds. The Lin family instantly felt a backbone, and everyone finally regained their sanity before the group of bandits arrived.
Hearing Lin Qingxue's words, the Lin family instantly thought of her precious space and understood her intention.
Lin Qingxue held her two daughters on each side, and Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law quickly pushed their own children towards Lin Qingyue.
Seeing that everyone was moving, Lin Qingxue also started to move. She first put the luggage on several donkey carts into the space, then went to the back of the donkey carts and brought Lin Qingyue and the children into the space.
"Qingyue, take good care of the children. I'll go out and help everyone." Before she finished speaking, Lin Qingxue left the space.
After hearing what Lin Qingxue said, Grandpa Lin Qingyue knew what was going on and would naturally take good care of the children.
After leaving the space, Lin Qingxue saw Li Yanniang and the others protecting Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin in the middle, while Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Qingmin brought Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaoqi to form a protective circle around them.
