My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

Lin Qingchu shouted, "Don't panic, unite and resist the bandits!"

Upon hearing this, the patrol team immediately took action. No one cared about their luggage and food, and took the lead in protecting the villagers.

On the other side, Lin Qingchu also led a patrol team to surround the villagers. Behind the patrol team were men from each household, each holding their own kitchen knives and various weapons, protecting the elderly, children and women in the innermost part.

The bandits had already arrived and started fighting with the villagers. Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Qingxue also put his own express delivery and horses into the space.

However, the bandits were numerous, tall, and powerful, and the villagers gradually fell into trouble.

Under the fierce attack of the bandits, the villagers were defeated one after another, and there were casualties. The villagers were in chaos, and the scene was filled with crying and screaming.

Lin Qingxue looked at the tragic scene in front of her and felt extremely anxious. She knew that she had to find a way to get rid of these bandits as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Qingxue looked at the distant mountains, then at the bandits who were fighting even more fiercely. Gritting her teeth, she shouted at Lin Qingchu and the others, "We are no match for these bandits. Cousin Qingchu, take a patrol to escort the villagers back up the mountain. Don't worry about the luggage and food. Cousin Qingxun, take a patrol to stay behind and cover our retreat."

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Lin Qingchu also knew that the current situation was very dangerous for them. If they didn't retreat, they would be wiped out.

"Got it, we'll retreat now," Lin Qingchu shouted, and began to arrange the patrol team under his charge to move.

When Lin Qingxun saw this, he immediately took his team members to fill the vacancies. Fortunately, the villagers were also afraid of death, and at this critical moment of life and death, they all obeyed orders.

Lin Qingxue and his three brothers protected the Lin family as they retreated towards the villagers, while they fiercely stabbed the bandits around them. Their reckless attitude intimidated many timid bandits.

Soon, the Lin family reunited with the villagers and entered the mountains under the escort of Lin Qingchu and his team. The mountain was pitch black, but fortunately the moonlight was bright, illuminating the road under their feet. The villagers supported each other and went up the mountain.

Without the villagers who were "holding them back", Lin Qingxun's patrol team acted even more ruthlessly. Some bandits even wanted to chase the villagers, but were stopped by Lin Qingxue's four siblings who were blocking the road.

Except for Lin Qingxue's four siblings, all the other members of the Lin family reunited with the villagers. Even Lin Qingyue and her group who were in the space were released from the space by her.

"Brother, you and the second and third brothers continue to block here. I will go to help cousin Qingxun and the others." After killing a few more bandits, Lin Qingxue was a little exhausted.

But she knew that this was not the time to rest, because Lin Qingxun and his group in front were still fighting with the bandits!

"Okay, go ahead! Be careful," Lin Qingming gasped. He really had no strength left. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but in his current state, he would probably make things worse if he went.

Lin Qingxue nodded, dragged his tired body into the fighting area, and stabbed the bandits with his sword.

Lin Qingxue's joining relieved the pressure on Lin Qingxun and others. They fought hard and tried to buy more time for the villagers to retreat.

However, the bandits still came in droves, and it seemed that they would not stop until they were all wiped out.

Lin Qingxue brandished her sword, her eyes revealing determination and resoluteness. She knew that she could not retreat, as the lives of the Lin family and the villagers of Linjia Village were at stake.

This time the bandits' robbery was different from the previous ones. Many villagers really died this time. There were more than 1,300 people in Linjia Village before they left.

About ten people died on the road before, and even more died tonight, but many bandits also died, at least nearly a hundred bandits died.

Although the number is large, the number of bandits is even greater. There were more than 300 people lying in ambush before, and near dusk, nearly 200 bandits came.

There were still about four hundred bandits on the scene, but more than half of them were injured and covered in blood, which looked particularly scary in the night.

On the other hand, there were only a few dozen patrolmen in Linjia Village, which was like an egg hitting a stone compared to the bandits.

However, the villagers of Linjia Village had no choice.

Sweat soaked Lin Qingxue's clothes and her arms gradually became heavy, but she gritted her teeth and stabbed the enemy with her sword again and again.

During the fierce battle, Lin Qingxun was accidentally hit on the shoulder by the bandits, and blood gushed out instantly.

Seeing this, Lin Qingxue rushed over and blocked the subsequent attacks for him, saying, "Cousin, are you okay?"

Lin Qingxun shook his head, endured the pain and said: "I'm fine, keep fighting!"

At this time, the villagers on the mountain had walked farther and farther away, and their figures gradually disappeared in the darkness. Lin Qingxue felt a little comforted in her heart. As long as the villagers were safe, their efforts would not be in vain.

However, the bandits' attacks became more and more fierce. Lin Qingxue and his four siblings as well as the patrol team members gradually fell into a desperate situation. Their physical strength was severely overdrawn and their bodies were covered with wounds.

Just when they were about to collapse, they suddenly heard shouts and cries from afar. It turned out that a group of passing soldiers heard the noise and came to support them.

The bandits saw that the situation was not good and saw someone coming to support them and began to flee. Lin Qingxue and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the bandits were quickly captured and killed on the spot, they could no longer sit paralyzed on the ground. Everyone was in a very miserable state.

The general leading the team came over, expressed his admiration and gratitude to them, and said, "We were sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits. We rushed over when we heard the noise. I'm sorry, but we were too slow and caused you heavy losses."

Lin Qingxue smiled weakly and said, "No, no matter what, we still have to thank you for helping us deal with these refugees. Gentlemen, we are villagers from Linjia Village, Qingshui County, Jingyun City. Due to the drought in our hometown, the crops in the fields have been completely destroyed, and with the arrival of refugees, our entire village has been forced to leave. We want to find a place to settle in the Imperial City. I wonder if the Imperial City will accept us?"

"Are you fleeing here? The Imperial City will receive you. Since the bandits have been dealt with, you can handle it yourselves! The bandits ahead have all been dealt with by our 7, so you can go to the Imperial City without worry."

The team leader looked at Lin Qingxue seriously and said that he felt very sorry. They were late, otherwise these villagers would not have suffered so many casualties.
