Chapter 34: Lin Tian cried
Lin Tian led the team to go out day and night, and the goal of such a group of people during the day was too big, so Lin Tian specially drilled into the mountains and forests to better hide his whereabouts. At noon on the second day of escaping from the mine, Lin Tianye had already walked a long distance with the team, and was resting in an unknown mountain at the moment. Lin Tian estimated that Bai Yan had already received the news about the attack on the Hongshan Mine, so the position and direction of Lin Tian and the others had been exposed, and there must be pursuers behind him. Lin Tian was thinking on the side, thinking about which way to return to the Li clan and how to get rid of the chasing soldiers behind him.
Lin Tian's prediction was right, late at night on the day the mine was attacked, Bai Yan received the news from the fast horse. Bai Yan was naturally angry, and he didn't expect that the mice in his eyes disgusted him again. Immediately ordered to tell the pursuers who had been sent out to rush to the Hongshan Mine and hunt down Lin Tian and the others with the guards of the mine. The pursuers sent out were all cavalry, so they were naturally very fast, and they arrived at the mine early the next morning to join the guards. Due to the speed of the cavalry tutorial, after knowing the direction, he went to search for Lin Tian and his party first.
Lin Tian and his party generally move at night, stop at noon to rest for half a day, and set off again in the evening. Lin Tian took a detour, it only takes a day and a half to return to the Li tribe from the mine on weekdays, but now with a large group of people, he has to avoid searching, and it is expected that the return journey will take an extra day. In this way, I went out day and night, shuttling between the mountains and forests, and most of the way back had been walked. Lin Tian and the others, as always, walked until noon and began to rest, and began to rest after finding a relatively hidden forest, not to mention that in the past two days, everyone is basically in a state of not having enough food, not warm clothes, and restless sleep, so they cherish the rest time and only look forward to arriving at the destination as soon as possible.
Lin Tian had to take a while to think about the current situation and the situation he would encounter before taking a break. For more than a day, everything came according to Lin Tian's expectations, and the only thing that worried Lin Tian was that some people failed to keep up with the progress of the team and fell behind, and the situation was getting more and more serious. From the first few people to the current dozens of people, most of them are old and frail and physically weak, originally Lin Tian didn't care about the life or death of these people, but I was afraid that these people would be caught by the pursuers and expose the whereabouts of Lin Tian and the others. Lin Tian thought to himself, from the current point of view, we must hurry up, now rest until the evening departure, tomorrow morning should be able to reach the Li station, I hope the rest of the journey is fine.
While Lin Tian and his party were resting, a cavalry and infantry in the rear were coming towards the place where Lin Tian and the others were hiding and resting. This is the pursuer who came to chase and kill Lin Tian and others, when the cavalry in advance was searching for the whereabouts of Lin Tian and others, a team caught the lost person who was left behind, and forced Lin Tian and others to find out the location of Lin Tian and others under torture.
"Xiaotian, wake up, wake up, there is movement at the foot of the mountain, it seems that the pursuers are coming."
Lin Tian was woken up by Gu Tai on duty, and Lin Tian, who heard that there were chasing soldiers, immediately became energetic, and followed Gu Tai to a high ground to look at the foot of the mountain. It was found that it was the pursuers who came to chase and kill, some of them were cavalry, and some of them were guards of the mine, and the cavalry could not ride into this dense mountain forest, so they had to abandon their horses and carry their weapons to the mountains like the infantry.
"It seems that they caught the lost people and found us."
Lin Tian frowned, and then thought of a way to deal with it. Gu Tai on the side spoke: "There are about five or six hundred of them, we are not opponents, now they are two legs like us, let's hurry over this mountain, maybe we can get rid of them." ”
"Well, that's the only way, wake everyone up and get out of here. Keep the movement quiet, don't let the people below find us, let them search slowly. ”
It was impossible for more than 1,000 people to move at the same time without movement, and when they climbed over the ridge, there was little vegetation here, and they were still discovered by the pursuers below. Lin Tian also found that the pursuers at the foot of the mountain had discovered them, so he urged the team to speed up the footsteps, but these people were hungry and did not sleep for a long time, their feet were weak, and they really couldn't run much. When going down the mountain, many people are unable to roll directly on their feet, and they have no time to take care of others at the moment, so they run separately.
Walking down the hill, there is another mountain in front of you, but this mountain is not big, and there are two roads ahead, one east and one west. Many people rolled down the mountain and were more or less injured, and everyone basically couldn't walk more than one piece, and there were still chasing soldiers in the rear. Gu Taiya bit his teeth, cursed viciously, and then said to Lin Tianhe and the patriarch: "Let me take some people to the west to attract the pursuers, you hide first, and then go back to the right." ”
"Gutai, this is probably gone forever!"
"Yes, Uncle Gu Tai, let's go together."
Gu Tai shook his head, "No, this must be done in order for everyone to live, many of us don't have much strength left, and we won't be able to go far before we will be caught up by the pursuers behind." Lin Tian wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Gu Tai, "And Xiao Tian's safety is related to the future of all of us." ”
Seeing Gu Tai's smile, Lin Tian's heart ached, and he secretly hated himself in his heart, where did his usual intelligence go? Is there only one way out for Gutai to die?
In the end, Gutai embarked on this road of no return with dozens of righteous men who volunteered to join, including the wounded, the old and infirm, who knew that they would not be able to escape the pursuit from behind, so they stayed and chose to attract the enemy. And the rest of Lin Tian lay down in the grass, silent in panic. Looking at Gu Tai, who walked forward without hesitation, Lin Tian silently left tears. Lin Tian hated, hated himself, Lin Tian, who once thought that everything was in his own hands, doubted for the first time whether he really led the Li clan to choose a correct path.
When the pursuers turned down the mountain, they saw Gu Tai and his party, and they chased after them violently. Then the man who was hiding in the forest came out and took the right path and left. At this moment, Lin Tian was not the only one who was sad, but also the people of the Li clan and the iron baby who was crying silently. Tiewa's father, Good, held back his grief and comforted his son, and at the same time said to Lin Tian: "This is his honor, and the Li clan will remember him." ”
Patriarch Basang saw the tears on Lin Tian's face, and also walked over to comfort Lin Tian, "Let's go, Xiaotian, don't let Gu Tai's efforts go unrewarded, we all believe in you, and we will seek justice for him and all of us." ”
Lin Tian was silent, and the patriarch saw that he was speechless, knowing that he was still immersed in sadness, he pulled Lin Tian and left from the right road.
After that, the journey was finally safe, and Lin Tian and his party set off from noon during the day and arrived at the Li station's residence in the middle of the night. The people who had just experienced the rush of desperation finally relaxed, and the patriarch ordered the clansmen to provide food quickly, and the Li tribe took out all the inventory, so that it was barely enough for everyone to eat a full meal. However, the first meal of more than 1,000 people was solved, but the resting place bothered the patriarch. At the suggestion of the patriarch, let these people take some warm clothes or thatch, and sleep under the wall with their clothes, which will be spent one night, but fortunately these people have suffered countless hardships before, and they have no problem with these.
