After mentally reviewing the various situations that were about to happen, Qin Rushuang avoided the people around her and found a secluded yard.
This courtyard has a wide view, and there is a shaded side. The place where the moonlight cannot shine is very dark.
Qin Rushuang took out the lead wire that she had made a long time ago, buried one end along the cracks of the bricks, and connected the other end to the signal fireworks.
She briefly estimated the time, put down the signal fireworks, and returned to Qian Ertong's yard.
For the next two hours, Qin Rushuang maintained a high degree of vigilance. Even when the two first women dozed off, she did not follow them to sleep and kept an eye on Qian Ertong's situation.
However, as time passed by, Qian Ertong's forehead became hotter and hotter. This was really not good news.
The night before dawn is the darkest.
Qin Rushuang made another excuse to change Qian Ertong's dressing. After going out, she took out the fire stick in her arms and lit the fuse. She buried the fuse very long and it should take half a stick of incense.
After lighting the fuse, Qin Rushuang turned around and returned to the house where Qian Ertong was.
In order to make herself look more credible, she even woke up the two women who were dozing off.
"Sisters, I'm really tired. Can you let me squint for a while? You guys keep an eye on him. The temperature seems to be higher now. I'm afraid something might happen."
The two women were woken up and felt a little embarrassed. They nodded and said, "We fell asleep. Thank you for your hard work. Just lie down and squint for a while while we look at him."
Qin Rushuang pretended to be sleepy and yawned a few times. After lying on the table, there was no movement after a while.
But she closed her eyes and kept counting the time silently in her heart.
After about half a stick of incense, there was a "whoosh" sound, and there was sudden movement in the yard outside.
The sound of fireworks taking off was not too quiet, and the two women also heard it.
Then there was a loud "bang", and fireworks could be seen from the window, and even the ground in the yard was lit up.
The women were naturally awakened by the movement, and the leading woman was well-informed and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the fireworks.
"Not good! Someone set off signal fireworks! Everyone is on alert!"
She quickly ordered everyone to take action and woke up those who were still sleeping.
Immediately afterwards, all the Dayan women in the city were on alert, and the woman who took the lead was somewhat smart. Her eyes swept over the people around her one by one.
"Who is sending the signal outside the city?!"
"If you are communicating with someone outside the city because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you tell me now, I can still let you live. If I find out..."
The woman narrowed her eyes and looked as fierce as a she-wolf, "If I find out, I will make this person unable to live or die!"
Then she started asking one by one where these people were when the fireworks exploded.
When Qin Rushuang was asked, Qin Rushuang looked nervous and looked at the two women in Qian Ertong's room as if asking for help.
"It's not me! It's not me! I've just been sleeping in the house with the two of them."
The two women nodded.
The woman in the lead was a little suspicious of Qin Rushuang, but she was also confused at the moment, but a trace of doubt flashed in her heart, and her eyes passed over Qin Rushuang.
Qin Rushuang's heart was pounding, and she prayed that the border guards outside the city had got her information and rushed in as soon as possible according to the information she gave.
The leading woman wanted to continue questioning her, but the border guard finally refused to let Qin Rushuang go. She only heard a sudden loud noise outside the city.
"Sister! Sister! It's not good! Da Qi's army is breaking down the city gate!" The people who had been guarding the city gate ran in, with panic on their faces.
The woman who took the lead also lowered her gaze, and then asked, "Did they use living people to explore the way? How many people were killed in the bombing?"
The woman stammered: "No, no! They somehow found the place where the gunpowder was buried, dug out the gunpowder and the mechanism, and no one died!"
The leading woman gritted her teeth: "Let's go! Come out with me! Throw stones from the tower to delay some time. If he really rushes in..."
She looked at the women gathered around him, with a bit of sadness in her eyes.
"If the Daqi people really rush in, try to lure them to the gunpowder and traps!"
"You must know that we have survived until now because we were chasing the word death! How our husband and father died, you must bear in mind!"
Her words aroused the bloodshed of the women around her. One woman said loudly, "Yes! Lead them to the gunpowder of the machine! If you kill one, you will count as one. If you kill two, you will make a profit! Anyway, I have lived enough.
If you want to drag them to death together!"
After the leading woman made an impassioned speech, she turned her attention to the room where Qian Ertong rested, "And this person..."
"Otherwise, just kill him!" someone suggested.
The leading woman was still somewhat sober, shook her head and said, "No, he can still be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits."
She named the two women who had been taking care of Qian Ertong, and after thinking about it, she added Qin Rushuang's name.
"The three of you take him to a secluded place. After hiding, let's see if God's will is on our side, Dayan!"
After saying that, she rushed out with everyone.
Qin Rushuang, on the other hand, followed the two women with lowered eyebrows.
The Dayan women are tall, and Qin Rushuang is already considered the tallest among the women, but she is actually slightly shorter next to them.
And they were very strong, so they ordered Qin Rushuang to take the boiled plaster, and the two of them carried Qian Ertong and walked out.
All the people in the city have been taken away by the leading woman, so the city is even quieter, and only the noise of people can be vaguely heard from the other side of the city gate.
After she was far away from the main force, Qin Rushuang followed the two women, raised her knife and knocked the woman unconscious in two blows.
Fortunately, Qin Rushuang was a martial artist and was very strong. He dragged Qian Ertong with him all by himself and prepared to find the place where Qian Ertong said the remaining brothers were hiding.
Qin Rushuang's journey was very difficult.
It was the darkest time of the night, and she was dragging an adult man with her, panting with every step she took.
It took her nearly two sticks of incense to find the place Qian Ertong mentioned.
It was indeed a very remote and poor little courtyard. There was a dustpan hanging at the door of the courtyard with a red rope tied to it.
Qin Rushuang opened the courtyard door, but there was no one in the courtyard.
He helped Qian Ertong in, found a place to sit down, and began to search for the location of the cellar in the house.
When Qin Rushuang found the remaining soldiers, they were already too thin and out of shape.
Thinking about it, after hiding in the cellar for several days, I'm afraid I only dare to go out to find some water when it gets dark.
As for food...even those Dayan women had no food. How did they survive these days? Qin Rushuang didn't dare to think about it.
Although they were physically exhausted, they were always on high alert mentally. When they heard someone coming in, they thought they had been discovered.
Until Qin Rushuang spoke up, they recognized Qin Rushuang's voice and almost cried with joy.
"It's General Qin! General Qin is here to save us!"
