Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Crime of Gender 81

It must be said, the information this barbarian told her indeed caught Qin Shuangshuang’s attention. As far as she knew, when the barbarians raided, they were sure to take away food as their primary target, followed by women.

For the barbarians, women from Da Ran were also a kind of strategic resource. They could be used to reward subordinates and serve as slaves since women were weak in martial power and easy to control. Often, men and children were left with no way to survive, but there was a situation where some would be spared, which was when the barbarians wanted to cultivate them into slaves!

Only large barbarian tribes would use such a method to cultivate Da Ran people into slaves, and Huyan was indeed a great tribe.

The barbarian dared not hesitate, spilling all that he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.

This barbarian was named Huyan Babur, and amongst them, he was considered a minor noble. Last winter, heavy snow killed many cattle and sheep, forcing the barbarians to come to Da Ran early this year to forage for supplies.

Truth be told, Huyan Babur came along just to earn credit without effort; he only needed to circle around and go back without doing anything.

The reason Qin Shuangshuang encountered Huyan Babur’s team today was because Huyan Babur got bored staying in the tent and insisted on seeing the famously renowned Feiying Pass, which led him to bring a dozen elite subordinates out for some novelty.

Who knew before Huyan Babur could see Feiying Pass, he met the ill-fated Qin Shuangshuang. Without a word, before Huyan Babur could recover from the excitement of seeing a peerless beauty from Da Ran, his warriors had already been swiftly dealt with by this peerless beauty like slicing through vegetables!

The peerless beauty instantly transformed into a life-taking Asura, scaring away half of Huyan Babur’s life, leaving no room for romantic thoughts!

Upon receiving Huyan Babur’s information, Qin Shuangshuang was also very distressed. According to Huyan Babur, that settlement housed over two hundred elite barbarians, holding more than twenty women from Da Ran and over fifty children, none more than ten years old.

Now Qin Shuangshuang had a headache, feeling troubled, with just one phrase running through her mind: How do I handle this?

Honestly, Qin Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid to charge into two hundred barbarians alone and fight her way out! The main problem was the children and women inside the barbarian settlement. Qin Shuangshuang feared that while she was fighting the barbarians, they might become desperate and use those compatriots as hostages to threaten her into submission, what should she do then?

Qin Shuangshuang wanted to turn back to Feiying Pass to inform the City Defense General, but there was no time, as Huyan Babur mentioned that his group had finished foraging and planned to return. Due to Huyan Babur’s insistence on seeing Feiying Pass, their return was delayed.

Moreover, Huyan Babur had agreed that if he didn’t return by the next morning, those people should leave first, meaning the barbarians holding the Da Ran women and children would not stay long, and Feiying Pass was not close to their settlement, even a horseback ride would take hours.

What’s more, Qin Shuangshuang was also an hour’s journey away from Feiying Pass, and the back-and-forth delay was too long, making it impossible for Qin Shuangshuang to go to Feiying Pass to call for reinforcements to wipe out this wave of barbarians.

Qin Shuangshuang turned around several times in frustration, finally gritting her teeth and deciding to go for it. No matter what, she couldn’t sit by and watch, allowing those abominable barbarians to take her Da Ran common people as slaves.

Since she had made up her mind, Qin Shuangshuang planned to act immediately, first tying Huyan Babur into a bundle, then, under his guidance, quickly heading toward the barbarian settlement.

The barbarian settlement was not close to Feiying Pass, and by the time Qin Shuangshuang ran there, it was already completely dark. She reached the settlement Huyan Babur had mentioned.

Before arriving, Qin Shuangshuang was worried that she couldn’t rescue the women and children without alerting the barbarians, but upon reaching, she realized her worries were unnecessary.

These barbarians did not consider Da Ran people human at all! All the women and children were naked, bound with ropes by the barbarians and thrown into a temporary fence far from their tents, treated worse than the cattle and sheep the barbarians herded.

The barbarians did not assign anyone to guard these women and children, clearly unafraid of their escape. In fact, it was unheard of for any women or children taken by the barbarians to ever escape back. Looking out on the prairie, there was nothing but endless green grass, with no landmarks to guide direction.

These women and children couldn’t escape. Even if they did, they had no way to find their way back to Da Ran and would quickly be recaptured by the barbarians or taken by another tribe to continue as slaves!

Since they weren’t together, it made things simple. Qin Shuangshuang got off her mule, threw the tightly bound Huyan Babur into a tall patch of grass, making sure no one could see him from outside and that he couldn’t escape, before confidently creeping towards the barbarian pen holding the women and children.

Though the women and children were bound, when they saw a little girl resembling a Da Ran person approaching, they were all startled. Some of the children wanted to cry out, but were quickly silenced by the women who understood what was happening using various methods to cover their mouths.

Qin Shuangshuang first used a knife to cut the ropes binding everyone, then pointed in the direction of Feiying Pass and whispered to them, ”You all head in that direction as fast as you can! Run as far as you can, no matter what happens behind you, don’t look back. Rest assured, these barbarians won’t catch you, and they won’t have the chance to chase you.”

”What about you, benefactor?”

”Benefactor, aren’t you running with us?”

The women, after hearing Qin Shuangshuang’s words, did not run away immediately. Two of them, who seemed more spirited, worriedly asked Qin Shuangshuang. Qin Shuangshuang smiled gently, ”You don’t need to worry about me. Since I could get here alone, I naturally have a way to retreat safely. Run quick, your running far will help me.”

The women longed too desperately to escape this hellish place, and after a moment of hesitation, they pulled the children and ran in the direction Qin Shuangshuang had pointed.

By this time, since it was already dark, these barbarians had all gone to sleep. Perhaps because they were far from the border city, the barbarians slept soundly, even the two on watch were dozing off and were easily taken out by Qin Shuangshuang without a sound.

After taking down the two guards, Qin Shuangshuang found where the barbarians kept the kerosene, then set all the barbarians’ tents on fire!

The felt tents ignited instantly, waking many barbarians up from their sleep. In their shock, they had no time to even dress before scrambling out of their tents, shouting in panic!
