Chapter 796: Tripping Rope
At this time, Lu Qingqing had already pulled out the long sword placed under the shaft of the carriage.
As soon as Sun Laohai and Lao Huotou opened the door of the carriage, they saw a big knife shining with a cold light.
The two men were so frightened that their breathing stopped and they backed away tremblingly.
Farmers have only seen axe for chopping wood on a daily basis, and have rarely seen a butcher's pig-killing knife.
Not to mention the big knife that flashes with cold light, which is only used by officials and soldiers.
This big knife looks like it can chop off their heads with one stroke.
The old fireman retreated to the innermost part of the carriage and grabbed Sun Laohai's sleeve.
He pointed at Lu Qingqing outside with his chin, his eyes full of questions.
"What's going on? How come he has a knife? He's not going to kill us, is he?"
Although these words were not spoken out loud, Sun Laohai understood them.
It’s not that the two of them are in sync, but that he thinks the same way.
However, Lao Huotou didn't know.
Sun Laohai and Lu Qingqing have only known each other for two days.
It was even said that the two had only met a few times in total.
If he knew, he would definitely blame Sun Laohai for harming him!
After all, Sun Laohai had worked as a bricklayer for many years. After the panic, he saw that Lu Qingqing had her back to them.
He patted Lao Huotou's hand, signaling him not to move and to wait and see what happens.
Outside, Lu Qingqing's attention was focused on the front.
Looking at the inconspicuous tripwire in front of him, he couldn't help but curse the person who blocked the tripwire for being so cruel.
If her eyesight was not good, she would not have noticed the tripwire buried in the snow.
The little white boy was pulling the carriage forward normally, but he didn't notice that his leg was stuck.
In the worst case, the victim would break his legs, and in the worst case, he would be so frightened that he would pull the carriage and run around, fall into a ditch and die!
When Lu Qingqing thought about the consequences, her anger rose rapidly.
She held the knife and scanned the surrounding environment.
A few dozen meters ahead of the location where the tripwire is buried is Xiao Liu Village.
This tripwire is probably related to Xiaoliu Village.
However, they stopped here for a while and no one came over.
She jumped out of the car and looked into the ditches on both sides of the road, but didn't see any ambushing figures.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a group of men carrying shovels and hoes running out from Xiaoliu Village not far away.
In the carriage behind them, Sun Laohai and Lao Huotou saw this scene.
He also reacted and hurriedly asked her to get in the car and turn around.
Lu Qingqing took two steps to the side of the carriage, took out the compound bow placed under the shaft, raised the arrow and aimed forward.
With a sound of arrow shooting, an arrow shot straight at the feet of the person in front.
The arrow was deeply embedded in the snow, leaving only the tail feathers of the arrow still trembling.
The man in front was frightened by the arrow and stopped in a hurry.
But the person behind him was so powerful that he pushed him forward a few steps.
Seeing that the person next to her was about to rush forward, Lu Qingqing shot another arrow.
At the same time, he warned in a rough voice:
"Whoever takes another step forward will have this arrow aimed at his head!"
The villagers of Xiaoliu Village looked at the arrow in her hand and looked at each other.
Without waiting for them to say anything, the old fireman got out of the carriage and shouted towards the front.
"We are all family, don't do anything!
I am the fire master of the kang!
Years ago, I even built a kang for my sixth uncle!
Where is Sixth Uncle? Is he here?
Their whole family knows me!"
When the villagers of Xiaoliu Village heard him mention his sixth uncle, they were stunned.
Uncle Six is the oldest man in their village and also the village head.
If this person knew Uncle Six, it would be really hard to take action against him.
Among the people in Xiaoliu Village, there were some who knew Lao Huotou, and they couldn't help but whispered:
"I know about this. A few years ago, my sixth uncle hired someone to build a kang.
I heard from my sixth aunt that the kang was very warm.
That one ounce of silver was not wasted!"
After these words were spoken, the rest of the people stopped taking action.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he lowered the weapon in his hand.
At the front of the crowd, there was a tall man who put down his hatchet and bowed, saying:
“Brothers in front, this is all a misunderstanding!
Look, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple!
So we immediately removed the rope.
You guys just don't do anything, okay?"
Lu Qingqing responded in a hoarse voice.
Upon hearing this, the man called a few brothers and went forward to untie the lasso.
Then, he led the others back a little.
Seeing that Lu Qingqing's carriage did not move, his eyes darkened.
He raised his hand and waved to everyone, then retreated to the small path in the village.
Lu Qingqing calculated the distance and felt that it was about time, so she started to drive forward.
However, she did not let her guard down and had already taken out a grenade.
The pistol is placed in a place where it can be taken at any time.
Fortunately, the people in Xiaoliu Village really didn't take action again.
After the carriage successfully passed the Xiaoliu Village section, it sped up.
Behind them, the people from Xiaoliu Village saw the carriage running away, sighed, and walked forward to untie the trip rope.
But unexpectedly, he was stopped by the tall man who was leading the group.
"Why untie it? Keep burying it!"
The tall and strong man's cousin was a little confused when he heard this.
"Cousin, we are not going to rob this carriage, so why do we need this trip rope?
Our village is located in a remote area and there is no bus for ten days or half a month.
Leave this rope here, don’t lose it!”
The tall and strong man shook his head.
"What do you know?
Do you think I'm not taking action now just to save face for that old fireman?
He is nothing!
It was not bad that Uncle Six asked him to set up the kang, but he paid him on the spot.
This is called clearing the money and goods, and we don’t owe him anything, right?
I didn't do anything just now because I saw the door of the car was open.
There was nothing in the empty room except a few tattered quilts!
We brothers took a risk just to steal money and food.
There's nothing in this carriage, what's the point of grabbing it? "
After hearing this, all the men in Xiaoliu Village reacted.
Some of those who were quick-witted also came around.
"Brother Qi, you want to wait for them to come back and then ambush them!
The old fireman should be paid at least one or two taels of silver for setting up the kang.
It's snowing heavily, so I'm afraid there will be even more.
And looking at the direction, it seems to be heading towards Toyama Town.
This year, when Lao Huotou comes back, he will have to exchange his money for food.
When the time comes, we will ambush here, kill the person directly, and throw the body into the ditch behind the village.
The carriage, food, and money will all be ours!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Qi nodded in appreciation.
"Old dog, you have a good brain!
From now on, follow me and work hard, and you won’t have to worry about having no food to eat or no wife to sleep with! "
The old dog smiled, revealing his big yellow teeth, and walked forward to give a few compliments.
As the men spoke, they fixed the trip rope again.
