Chapter 237 Seven Dangerous Rounds
Chapter 237 Seven Dangerous Rounds
"On our way to Kuiniu Country, we encountered bandit robberies seven times. They took turns attacking us, as if they had colluded with each other, and fought us in rotation." Thinking of that situation, Boss Qiao seemed to be frightened, and he continued.
"The first five times, we won relatively easily, but it also consumed a lot of physical strength. The sixth time, these people were even more powerful and difficult to deal with. We used all our strength to defeat them."
"By the seventh time, they sent out their strongest men. The fight alone took an entire morning and half the afternoon. We were locked in a stalemate, neither of us able to win. Just as they were about to arrive to reinforce and seize the goods on the wagon, your brother Dayong rushed forward and tangled with the other leader. The leader's knife left a long, deep gash in his back. He fought with all his might, yelled, and rolled down the hillside holding the other leader. Sharp rocks sliced his body, and he kept falling onto larger rocks. It was truly heartbreaking to watch."
"But since your brother Dayong was so determined, he naturally used his skills. He used the other boss's body as a cushion and fell all the way to the foot of the mountain, barely escaping death. The other boss had died at some point, a bloody mess, a tragic death."
"There's a saying that goes, 'An army in despair will prevail.' We thought your eldest brother was going to die, but he suddenly gained strength and fought recklessly to kill the bandits. Plus, their leader was dead, and their morale dropped. So, we ultimately won and saved the goods."
"We originally thought your eldest brother was dead, but you have no idea how happy we were to find out he was still alive." When he said this, Boss Qiao choked up a little.
"That location is only twenty miles away from the owner's location. We'll wrap your brother up to stop the bleeding, and then rush to deliver the goods."
"The owner of the goods was very moved when he saw that we almost gave our lives to protect these goods, and the goods were intact. He gave us an extra fifty taels."
"Kui Niu's domestically produced liquor has a high alcohol content and is very effective in disinfection. We bought a jar of liquor to disinfect your brother all the way back."
"I originally thought of burning him with a sword, but I didn't want to leave him covered with scars, so as not to affect his future marriage." When he said this, Boss Qiao smiled, as if to relieve the depressing atmosphere.
Qiao Jianer believed that the situation on the road was even more thrilling than what she had heard.
The first time we escorted the caravan, everyone only suffered minor injuries, but this time, his arms were broken, his bones were cracked, his body was covered with cuts, and Brother Dayong was in this state.
This is after they diligently practiced their fighting skills for a month.
"Then uncle, will you still escort the caravan in the future?" After all, they were the ones doing the escorting.
Qiao Jianer wondered if this experience would leave a shadow on them.
"Yes." Boss Qiao answered firmly.
"This time was probably the most dangerous one. You have no idea how ferocious those people were. They were like wild wolves and tigers, extremely vicious and difficult to deal with. We all survived. We don't have to worry about such serious situations in the future. Or it won't be more dangerous than this time."
"Besides, we won and our reputation has risen. On the way back, I heard someone say on the mountain road that the men of the Qiao family in Ning County, Daze State, should not be messed with."
As he said this, Boss Qiao's face was full of pride.
"We've been to Kuiniu Country and gained a lot of practical experience, which will be useful in the future. If we don't go, it will be a waste. Your Uncle Yang said that if this escort is successful, the escort agency will increase its price in the future, and the silver we have to bear will also increase."
Boss Qiao sighed deeply and said, "Jian'er, this family can't just have you working hard alone. If we all rely on you, we men will lose face."
"Uncle, we are all members of the Qiao family. Let's not talk about these polite things. I just hope that you can come back safely every time."
Qiao Lianer knew that they not only wanted to make money for the family, but also to realize their own value. The sense of pride brought by relying entirely on one's own hard work is completely different and is what everyone needs.
After Yang Lao Er's wound was sewn up and confirmed to be fine, Qiao Lao Da said to Yang Lao Da: "Brother Yang, Dayong is stable now. Although he is unconscious now, he will wake up eventually. It's a waste of time for you to stay here. You should go back to Yuezhou first. The escort agency is waiting for your explanation."
That day, when Boss Yang and Boss Yang found them busy setting off, he knew that the time had been set and if it was delayed for too long, the boss would be unhappy.
Boss Yang also checked Dayong's condition. He was indeed much calmer, with even breathing and a more rosy complexion, which was completely different from when he was in the carriage. He was very surprised that he could recover so quickly. Maybe it was God's care.
"In that case, there's no need for us to stay any longer. Brother Qiao, you've done a great job. I'll report it to the boss. I guarantee you'll be there for good things in the future."
As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his bosom, which contained silver bills of various denominations. Since they were walking on the mountain path, the silver would easily be taken away, and it was heavy and difficult to carry, so he took the silver bills if he could.
Boss Yang counted out two hundred and fifty taels and handed it solemnly to Boss Qiao.
"This is what you earned from this escort mission."
When Boss Qiao saw this, he quickly pushed it back: "Brother Yang, you have already given up ten taels. This extra fifty taels is the result of all of our hard work. Let's divide it up according to the number of people."
"But seeing Dayong like this, I always feel guilty and want to compensate you more."
"Brother Yang, please don't say such things. If Dayong hadn't done this, we might have lost one or two lives. It's hard to say whose life it was, and even most of the team would have been killed. Everyone on the team fought hard, and everyone was in danger. These fifty taels are not just the credit of our Qiao family."
"We'll divide it among the nine of us. Each of us in the Qiao family will take five taels, and you can take the extra five taels back."
The two men kept shirking the responsibility, and finally Boss Yang was only willing to give ten taels, and gave the rest to the Qiao family.
After saying goodbye to Qiao Jiacheng, he drove the carriage and left with Yang Laoer.
As for the other carriage, one was left here and someone was taking care of it.
"If you want to use the carriage, go find my guys and use it as you like." Boss Yang specifically instructed.
"Everyone, take good care of your injuries for the time being. I look forward to seeing you again. Let's go to the mountain road to kill the bandits together."
Those who went back together included brothers from other escort agencies.
Seeing the Qiao family members injured like this, one of the brothers asked.
"Boss, if we go, will it be easier to deal with it?"
Boss Yang said to him solemnly, "You don't know how dangerous that road is. It's because the Qiao family members are naturally strong and have a high aptitude for learning martial arts that they were able to make it. If you go, you won't be able to hold on until the sixth level. From now on, you should also treat the Qiao family members as brothers. It is they who gave you the chance to survive."
Knowing that Boss Yang never speaks empty words, these brothers have great respect for the Qiao family.
"Yes, boss."
As it was getting dark, Qiao Jianer decided that some people should go home first to avoid worrying the elderly at home.
Dacheng and Dameng were less seriously injured, so they went home. My uncle stayed here to make arrangements, and my aunt and mother also stayed.
The two old men would feel more at ease when they saw that Dacheng and Dameng had become so powerful.
When she went out to prepare the carriage, Doctor Chen came to her.
"Little girl, can you please say a few words?"
