When Zhu Da said the word "revenge", Zhou Qingyun's struggle became less intense, and Qin Qin on the side also stopped crying.

Zhu Da let go of Zhou Qingyun and pushed the person forward, Zhou Qingyun, who thought he had calmed down, turned around and pounced on Zhu Da, Zhu Da took half a step back and slammed his fist on Zhou Qingyun's chin, this blow made the other party dizzy, unable to stand anymore, and directly knelt on the ground.

"Do you want to die with everyone? Do you think this is worthy of everyone? But you are dead, everyone is dead, the murderers will not feel it, they are still happy, we have to live, we have to avenge the dead, if you haven't figured out this truth, then you can go out of the mountain now, the Tartars haven't left yet! Judah kept his voice as cold as he could.

Zhou Qingyun shook his head, raised his head through gritted teeth and said, "If we rush over, we can still rescue people!" ”

"Are you fifty percent sure?" Zhu Dasen asked rhetorically, can you run away in such a large-scale outflanking, finding people with tired mounts, and then coming out of the chaotic village? The more Zhu Da thought about it, the more impossible it became.

Zhou Qingyun was stunned by the question, opened his mouth, and suddenly cried on the ground, Zhu Da coughed a few times, and said in a muffled voice: "Wait to cook and eat, and then take turns to be on duty for the night, and we will go out as soon as possible tomorrow." ”

"Is it to save people?" The girl asked, worried.

"No, it's to scout the enemy." When he said this, Zhu Da was full of exhaustion.

Zhu Da, who said these words, had already turned around, and after passing shoulders with Qin Qin, he walked out of the house to prepare everything, leaving only the stunned Qin Qin and the crying Zhou Qingyun in the house.

When Zhu Da came out of the house, Qin Qin was stunned and said, "Brother Zhu is crying, his face is full of tears. Zhou Qingyun paused, crying even louder.

Zhu Da came out to prepare dinner, Qin Qin has eaten cakes, jerky and the like these days, and if he wants to have more physical strength, he must eat some nutritious food, although in such a mood, no one can eat anything.

As soon as he put the firewood into the stove, Zhu Da couldn't control his emotions, he suddenly found that his heart was extremely painful and regretful, if he followed Zhou Qingyun into the village, if he could save his parents if he had the chance, even if it was just a chance, but in this way, he would lose all his relatives, maybe as Zhou Qingyun said, it is not a bad thing to die together......

Zhu Da also cried, he didn't cry heartbreakingly, but he couldn't control his emotions, so he cried outside all the time.

In fact, it was not that late, and after everyone barely ate Zhu Da's porridge and cakes, the sun had not yet set, after all, they had met before noon.

Zhu Da went to see the situation of the mount, and beckoned Zhou Qingyun, who had calmed down, to start packing up his weapons and dry food, preparing to go out to have a look.

"Are you going to save people now?" Qin Qin asked incredulously.

"It's not to save people, it's to look at the situation from afar, and to stay here is to be blind and deaf."

"Don't you ride horses?"

"The horses must rest, or they will die in the middle of the race, and you should remember to feed the horses before it gets dark." Zhu Da told Qin Qin two sentences, Zhou Qingyun over there had already been prepared, he had completely calmed down now, his expression was no longer that kind of wooden, anyone could see that it was gloomy.

If you go out of the mountain from the salt cave, it is actually not far, and it doesn't take much time to walk, so Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun brought knives and bows, took dry food for one person, and walked all the way out.

They carefully observed the mountain road as they walked, to see if there was no one entering the mountain, the road surface of the mountain path was not so hard, and the roadside plants also probed into the road, so once someone walked, the traces were obvious.

Of course, there is not only a salt cave in this vast mountain, but there is a settlement that can barely be called a village more than ten miles away, and there is a mountain temple in the other direction, where some outsiders often gather, not to mention all kinds of people who go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine.

But there are very few people who take this road out of the mountain, if there is entry and exit on this road, then it must be abnormal, carefully inspected all the way, there is nothing abnormal, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other, on the one hand, they were relieved, on the other hand, they were also a little disappointed, if someone entered the village at this time, it is also very likely that the villagers escaped, and there is no such thing as at present.

When they were about to leave the mountain, the two men did not go out, but climbed the hillside by the roadside, and now the only safe way to observe was to look condescendingly, without the possibility of being discovered by the enemy, and to see the whole picture, although not so clearly.

Whether it is Xiang Bo or Yuan Biao, they have taken them to climb the mountain, and they have observed Baibao Village and Hebian New Village from a high place, and they have formally discussed what to do if the bandits come, what to do if there is a conflict with the next village, and what to do if the government officials and the guards come down to make a nuisance, the settings of the two villages have been considered a lot, but what people never expected is that it was the Mongols, and it was a large group of cavalry.

When they climbed to a good position that could be observed, despair appeared on the faces of Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and there was indeed no luck in the scene in front of them.

Whether it is Baibao Village or the new village by the river, there are many horses parked around the village, and there are also small groups of cavalry going back and forth between the two villages, the number of cavalry has far exceeded the number of villagers, and from a distance, you can also see that the Mongolian cavalry is moving things out in large bags.

In recent years, Baibao Village and Hebian New Village have far surpassed other villages and even markets, and have concentrated a large number of useful materials, many of which have been sold on the grassland.

Of course, it is difficult to see too many details at such a distance, Zhu Da has been thinking about various situations, he suddenly thought of a possibility painfully, will he sell the goods on the grassland to attract the Tartars to loot, and even if his parents and relatives hide it, will these robbers feel that there is enough wealth here and search carefully, and then cause the relatives to be found out, the more Zhu Da thinks about it, the more irritated he becomes.

"Don't think about it, since you want revenge, then think about revenge, everyone says you love to drill the horns!" Zhou Qingyun, who was on the side, said in a deep voice, it seemed that he had regained his composure.

These few words made Zhu Da suddenly wake up from his self-blame and fantasy, he shook his head sullenly, in this situation, just thinking about how to take revenge, it is useless to think about it.

As the sky gradually darkened, there were many bonfires lit on the periphery of Baibao Village and Riverside New Village, with more riverside new villages and fewer Baibao villages.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were still observing carefully, and had no intention of returning, in fact, it was getting dark very quickly, except for the dotted bonfires, it was difficult to see anything, if it was delayed any longer, although the distance to the salt cave hut was not far, but the night road in the mountains was very dangerous.

"Can we touch it at night, the people in the village may be hidden, and we have a chance at night, just like going to a Qingfeng Inn." Zhou Qingyun suddenly asked.

Zhu Da looked at the bonfire under the mountain and shook his head, and said in a muffled voice: "These bonfires and tents have blocked all the roads outside, and those horses are also troublesome, alarming one horse will alarm a group, and the Tartars are different from the people, they are not night blind, they are much more vigilant than the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo both told them that the Mongolian tribes on the grassland were more difficult to live than the daimyo everywhere, and they also lived vigilantly, except for the group of people who learned to farm by the Han people on the Hetao, the other tribes lived by water and grass, and the place where they lived was nothing more than surrounded by tents, without the shelter of the city wall or anything, so the night warning and precautions were very thorough, this is still the relocation of the tribe, if it is a pure cavalry action of the brigade, then be more careful.

It's not that the other party doesn't have any flaws and omissions, but with the abilities of Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, they don't have the confidence to do this.

"Go back first, and come back early tomorrow morning." Zhu Da made a judgment, seeing that Zhou Qingyun did not move, Zhu Da urged again: "The Tartars go deep into the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely not dare to stay for too long, either they will loot a few more places, or they will hurry back, the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Datong are not joking, maybe they will leave tomorrow morning, these days they have been rushing in the early morning and dusk, just to hide." ”

"100,000 officers and soldiers have a use, not to put the tartars in." Zhou Qingyun muttered, this time he didn't argue with Zhu Da, the two of them went down the mountain in the dark, with torches and lighting, although they stumbled, they still returned to the hut.

Qin Qin was waiting for them with a worried face, the tears on the girl's face were still there, she should have cried in the afternoon, and when Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun entered the courtyard, Qin Qin hurriedly asked: "Will my father be okay, will he meet the Tartars." ”

"No, your father has already arrived in Taiyuan City, and the Tartars can't go so south, not to mention that it is a provincial capital, so it must be peaceful." Zhu Da explained two sentences randomly, Qin Xiucai will indeed not be affected, the only thing to worry about is whether he is in a good state to take the exam after receiving the news in Taiyuan City, but this kind of thing is not important now, just live.

Ate hastily, the girl slept on the kang, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun directly spread hay in the wooden house and slept, and lit wormwood outside the house in order to prevent insects and mosquitoes.

At night, I can hear the girl's low crying, I can hear Zhou Qingyun's tossing and turning, Zhu Da doesn't know when he fell asleep, but he started to dream indiscriminately at night, the life of more than 20 years of dreaming often appears, but this night's dream is just a memory, recalling the family and study over the years, parents, Xiang Bo, Yuan Biao and everyone in the village who has an impression, just flashed one by one.

In the second half of the night, Zhu Da just woke up, it was dark outside, Zhu Da did not continue to sleep, only waited there quietly, waiting for the time when he could leave.
