Chapter 62 White Rhino
Li Yuan was already in a total panic, his eyes vacant. Besides begging Qi Yue for help, he could barely speak.
Zhao Yongzhe and Zhao Yonglian had also returned, busily recounting the events.
That morning, they had agreed with some seasoned residents to go clear some wasteland together.
No sooner had they begun than they heard the veteran residents raising the alarm, saying that the natives had arrived.
Upon hearing this, everyone grabbed their tools and ran.
A few newcomers, in their panic, had left their tools behind and went back to retrieve them, only to be caught and brutally hacked by the natives.
Li Yuan's second son, Li Shen, was one of them.
Because his injuries were severe, they dared not move him and had to leave someone to guard him while the others rushed back for help.
The subject of going back for their tools was not because they were foolish.
The tools were issued by the overseer and needed to be strictly accounted for.
