Chapter 35
Gu Lan's expression became more and more dignified, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, as if something was about to happen.

She held her son's hand tightly, ready to immediately pick him up if something went wrong, but she hoped she was overthinking, these horse hooves were just passers-by.

People often come here for whatever they are afraid of. As the sound of horseshoes approached, the victims resting on the official road shouted that the robbers were coming and at the same time began to run away in a panic.

Some ran directly along the official road, and some ran towards the fields below. The same thing is extreme fear and panic.

Gu Lan immediately carried the package on his back in the basket and picked up his son. Li Da hurriedly got his parents into the car and stuffed the younger children into the car. Running quickly along the path in the field with the mule cart, Li Da didn't forget to call Gulan while running, and Gulan followed closely.

Almost everyone ran along the path in the field almost subconsciously, and the fields on both sides of the official road were filled with people all of a sudden.

At this time, the robbers swarmed and chased after them on horseback.

Gu Lan, who ran and checked, saw several horses in the lead, followed by two carriages. The carriages were full of people, all of them holding weapons, looking fierce.

The moment the carriage stopped, the people in the carriage rushed towards the fleeing victims with weapons. They were really robbers.

The people on the horse rushed to the field, forcing the fleeing people to stop with their arrogant shouts.

I'm afraid I won't be able to be kind today, this thought flashed in Gulan's mind.

If the disaster victims can form a group to resist the bandits together, as long as they are not afraid of death, they can crush them in terms of numbers alone.

It's a pity that these are just Gulan's thoughts. In reality, it is almost impossible to happen. There are people who are not afraid of death, but there are more people who are afraid of death.

Facing the glaring swords, most of the victims who were caught up chose to compromise, and squatted on the ground motionless according to the bandits' orders, lest the bandits' swords beckoned to them.

Those who didn't want to compromise were knocked down or chopped down to the ground. Not only were people injured, but also a little bit of food and water and even the little property they had was robbed.

The entire Li family village followed the field path, led by everyone who was the first to react, and ran towards the depths of the path.

Perhaps it was because the cars in Li's Village were too conspicuous that the robbers who were chasing them split up three horses and chased them in their direction.

Li Da, who was driving on the mule cart, looked at the robbers running towards us in the distance, shouted to the people behind him with the loudest voice to hurry up, and at the same time whipped the mule vigorously. , looking disastrously pale.

But the effect is minimal. The mule's strength and endurance are good, but its speed is not comparable to that of a horse, not to mention that there is a car full of things behind it.

Although everyone tried their best, they were quickly overtaken by the robbers behind.

Go straight across the field and block in front of Li Da's mule cart.

In an instant, the whole team was in chaos, except for the people in Lijia Village who were better, and the other victims who fled in this direction quickly turned around and fled in another direction.

At this moment, Li Da was forced to stop the mule cart, and the brothers of the Li family, including the strong laborers of the Li family village, immediately surrounded the old and the weak in the village, and confronted the three of them with sticks or agricultural tools.

Lijia Village has always been relatively united. Under the leadership of the village head and ancestors, the cohesion is very good. Before fleeing famine, certain arrangements were made for various problems.

It was also because of this that they managed to escape from the banditry half a month ago. Although many people were injured, fortunately no one stayed and their lives were not in danger.

Because Gu Lan was holding the child, he was also subconsciously classified into the old and the weak, ranking the second step, with the elderly and children in the middle. In fact, there are not many elderly people in Lijia Village, only a dozen or so.

It is not surprising that there were old people when they first fled famine, but as time went by and the days of fleeing famine became more and more difficult, eating less and drinking less, many old people were lost on the road, and there are so many old people living in Lijia Village that it is almost impossible to see. Here it is, it's not easy.

This also has some reasons for the unity with the people of Lijia Village.

Almost subconsciously, at the moment of danger, all the young and middle-aged people in Lijia Village faced the danger automatically and spontaneously, which touched Gulan a lot.

The dagger has already appeared in his hand, and he is ready to strike at any time. He glanced at the son in his arms. Although he really wanted to hold her in person, if the danger really came, it would not be a wise choice to hold her son. His son might also be injured because of it. .

Thinking about it, in order to prevent accidents, Gu Lan quickly took out a dime of silver and stuffed it into his son's clothes, and stuffed a few pancakes and two wild duck eggs into the package containing the clothes, no matter how much this kid couldn't carry.

He whispered to his son, "An'an, I will send you to Grandpa Li and Grandma Li later, and Dahei will be there to protect you. You must follow Grandma Li closely, you know? Daddy is going to beat the bad guys, and he will be back in a while." .”

"Father..." An An looked at Gu Lan anxiously, feeling very frightened in her heart, and the little hands holding Gu Lan's clothes turned white from the force.

"Don't be afraid, Dad is very powerful, have you forgotten the martial arts that Dad taught you?"

"I haven't forgotten" An An shook her head.

"An'an is awesome" Gu Lan hugged An'an and squeezed to the side of Old Uncle Li and Aunt Li while boasting.

The moment Gu Lan put An An beside her, the calm Old Uncle Li instantly understood Gu Lan's meaning. He wanted to persuade him to stay in the crowd, but looking at the men outside, he couldn't help it. Selfish did not say this sentence, one more person is always more strength.

Sighing in his heart, without waiting for Gu Lan to speak, he said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of An An." He held An An's hand tightly, making his promise.

"Thank you," Gu Lan said, and then told Dahei to protect the little master, "An'an will follow Grandpa, and Daddy will be back in a while."

Then he straddled the package diagonally on An An's body and reached into the package, in fact, he took out a mini crossbow and ten crossbow arrows from the space.

These were bought abroad during her travels.

Although she can get access to these things in China because of her special occupation, it is not impossible to buy them if she wants to buy them, but they are indeed very troublesome, while there are no such problems in foreign countries.

If it weren't for the limited funds in her hands, what she wanted to hoard were guns, but in the end she only bought two pistols and some bullets.

What do you want to do?The main reason is that after touching it for a lifetime, it has become a hobby, and it will itch if you don't touch it for a long time.

However, before she died, she also kept a few rifles in the space, but she was not going to take out the guns until it was a last resort.

Although the crossbow in his hand is conspicuous, it is much more low-key than Qiang.

Fighting had already started on the periphery, and the cries of pain could be heard from the crowd from time to time. Gu Lan was walking while firing crossbow arrows, while holding the dagger in the other hand tightly.

Gu Lan's speed was very fast, passing through the crowd and appearing on the periphery almost instantly. At that time, Li Da and several young villagers were cut down to the ground, and several other middle-aged people led by Li Er were rushing forward. Prepared to drag down the three robbers with a wheel battle, waiting for an opportunity.
