Chapter 43 Thrilling ambush

The carriage was speeding on the road, but Cheng Ling, covered by a raincoat, used the dim light to treat his benefactor's wounds.

Covering it with a raincoat is not only to block wind and dust, but also to block the sight of everyone on the carriage behind.

The origins of some of the instruments and materials used by Cheng Ling to treat wounds are currently difficult to explain. Out of habit, she simply stayed cautious.

From behind, Cheng Erni finally couldn't help shouting: "Brother Ling, are we going to charge like this? Directly to Chixia City? No stops in the middle?"

The carriage was so bumpy that she felt that she was reaching her limit, and the horse... the horse seemed to be reaching its limit as well.

These words were carried to Cheng Ling's ears by the wind, and Cheng Ling had just finished sewing up the wound under his benefactor's ribs.

This arrow wound cannot be sutured. It is too deep and almost penetrates the internal organs. If it is not sutured, Cheng Ling is worried about internal bleeding. Not only does this wound need to be sutured, but it must also be sutured in multiple layers with absorbable catgut.

The key point is to suture the inner muscles to align them layer by layer, and tie the blood vessels to stop bleeding at the right points. This will prevent blood from flowing back into the organ cavity when the wound is pulled, causing big troubles such as hemothorax.

The jolting of the carriage was a bigger obstacle to Cheng Ling, so much so that when Cheng Erni called out, she almost agreed on the spot.

Cheng Ling also wants to park the car!

No, that's not right.

At this moment, Cheng Ling suddenly listened, and she heard the faint sound of horse hooves behind her!

The comers are evil! These are most likely pursuers from Yun'an County.

Yes, they can escape in a carriage, so why can't the other party chase them on horseback?

Cheng Ling quickly closed the clothes around her benefactor's waist. The wound under her ribs had been completely treated by her, and a dressing was applied to the outer layer of the wound and bandaged.

But she only briefly rinsed the wound on the other person's leg, and didn't have time to do anything else.

Unable to care anymore, Cheng Ling immediately said: "Mom, please keep going and let me get off the carriage." The carriage was going too fast, and the wind made her voice seem distorted.

Mu Sanniang didn't know why, so she shouted: "Brother Ling, what are you going to do?" There was no other way, the wind was blowing hard and it was difficult to speak, so she could only shout.

Cheng Ling only said: "I want to make a trap here in case someone comes to chase me from behind."

Before Mu Sanniang could reply, she covered her benefactor again with her coir raincoat, stood up and was about to jump off the carriage.

Mu Sanniang shouted in surprise: "Brother Ling!"

The horse was running so fast that she couldn't control the carriage to slow down at this moment.

But Cheng Ling had three points of agility and used exquisite force-generating skills. With just a slight jump, it was like a dexterous swallow fluttering its wings and landing lightly in an instant.

After landing, Cheng Ling immediately rushed backwards, also using this method to reduce the damage caused by inertia.

Mu Sanniang turned around, and Cheng Ling waved her hand to urge: "Auntie, go quickly! Don't stay, don't waste time!"

Dong-dong-dong, this is the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of wheels, and the whistling of the wind, all of which bring Cheng Ling's voice over.

Mu Sanniang finally could only grit her teeth and said: "Okay!" Then she shouted: "Drive!"

With a wave of his riding whip, he finally stopped looking back at Cheng Ling and just drove forward with all his might.

Hong Guangyi drove past Cheng Ling in his car and shouted as if he had realized something: "Don't worry, Sir, I will definitely protect my sister-in-law and the two ladies."

I don't know how many times he has said this, but each time it seems to be more profound than the last time.

Cheng Ling just cupped his hands in response and said no more words this time.

Two carriages passed quickly one behind the other, bringing with them the sound of wind and the dust in the sky.

Cheng Ling watched them disappear in the winding part of the road. He put on his mask and then aimed at a tree beside the road. After walking quickly, he climbed up the tree with a few brushes.

This is a privet tree. In the hot summer, its branches and leaves are particularly luxuriant.

After Cheng Ling climbed up the tree, he hid himself in the canopy, set up a compound crossbow, and loaded five crossbow arrows.

She originally had a total of fifteen crossbow arrows, but now one fell in Yun'an County, and fourteen more were around her.

Cheng Ling wondered whether the backpack space would allow her to reset the missing crossbow arrows after she could no longer retrieve them. It was not yet midnight, so she could not speculate on the result.

But these are fourteen crossbow arrows that are still with her, and she will definitely make good use of them.

Just waiting for... to come!

Cheng Ling's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he saw a horse coming from the corner of the road in the direction of Yun'an County. The knight on the horse was dressed as an official, but in addition to a knife hanging on his waist, he actually had a knife on his back.

Hold the bow.

This man seemed a little different from the official officials Cheng Ling had met before.

Cheng Ling was not in a hurry to take action, she continued to wait.

Immediately afterwards, the second rider came one after another.

The passenger on the second horse was still dressed as an official, but there was no back arch on his back. In addition to the sword, there was also a thick chain wrapped around his waist.

After a while, the third and fourth riders came.

Can't wait any longer!

If he waited any longer, the first rider would rush past Cheng Ling from the best shooting angle.

Cheng Ling immediately seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

Whoosh!

Needless to say, the speed of this arrow was extremely fast. What was more important was the tricky angle, which came too unexpectedly.

The knight on horseback only had time to raise his arm, as if to block the arrow with his sword, but it was too late. The arrow grazed his arm, and poof! It shot into his chest.

In the end, the man fell off his horse and didn't even have time to scream.

At this time, the knight in the rear just exclaimed: "What..."

The second arrow came again.

Whoosh!

This arrow was like a white light that cut through the sound of the wind and pierced the chest of the second knight behind.

"Ah!" Another person fell to the ground. I don't know if he was dead, but for the time being, there was no sound.

The third person finally had time to react, only to see this person pull out a chain from his waist, control the horse with one hand and twist the chain with the other.

The chains were swung around and made a whirring sound, forming a circle-like afterimage in front of the person, like a shield, protecting the person airtight.

At the same time, he shouted: "Who is he? How courageous! Ambush and kill an officer is a capital crime! Let me report it to the Ming County Lord..."

Before he finished speaking, the third arrow had been shot.

Whoosh!

Whoosh, whoosh, this person danced the chain even more quickly.

That shocking arrow just missed him and was aimed at the fourth person behind him!

The reaction of the fourth person was actually not slow. Just when the third person was using the chain to protect himself, the fourth person just happened to draw the knife.

But Cheng Ling's arrow is faster.

Incredibly fast!

Because at this moment, Cheng Ling didn't know why, but spiritual awareness suddenly grew in his heart, and the yin and yang qi in his body that had been running on its own suddenly changed paths and moved.
Chapter completed!
