Chapter 38: Desperate Situation
readx; Soon after Cao Ang left Xiangyang Village, he parted ways with Zhuge Liang, and Wei and Xiao Qin'er were still in the mountains, and they didn't know what the situation was. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info said goodbye to Zhuge Liang, and Cao Ang couldn't wait to go into the mountains to look for it. It's just that the unfriendly and even hostile attitude of the villagers in Xiangyang made Cao Ang a little uneasy, and he didn't know how Wei would react when he learned his identity.
The mountains were densely wooded, and it was difficult for Wei and Xiao Qin'er to find them under concealment, so Cao Ang had to search carefully along the previous road. At present, the people of the Cai family are retreating, and they have no worries about their safety for the time being, but there are countless snakes, insects, ants, and beasts in the mountains, and a careless person may die here. Cao Ang searched for a section, but found no clues, and finally had to let go of his voice and call.
After a long time, it was almost evening, Cao Ang's throat was burning, dry and astringent, and he looked around with lush greenery, and there was no trace of him, and his heart couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
Suddenly, there was a faint cry from the southwest. Cao Ang's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly chopped through the thorns and rushed over.
Under the towering tree, a seven-foot-tall man held Xiao Qin'er in his left hand, held high in the air, holding a cold long knife in his right hand, with a lewd smile on his face that made people disgusted from the bottom of his heart, staring at Webster with burning eyes, and said lightly: "Take off your clothes quickly, or I will fall to death this little bastard." "This is one of the more than 20 people who came to arrest Cao Ang at the beginning, and some of them chased into Ah Tou Mountain.
Wei Shi bit his lip tightly, grabbed the shirt on his chest with his right hand, and looked at Xiao Qin'er who was screaming and waving and kicking, his eyes were full of tears.
"You let my child go first, I'm ...... I will not resist. Merriam-Webster said pleadingly.
The man was unmoved, his face showed a touch of fierceness, his big hand was a little hard, he lifted Xiao Qin'er above his head, his back was facing up, and said, "Do what I say, don't you understand?" β
Wei's eyes flashed with panic, and he hurriedly took a small step forward, swaying his hands again and again, and said eagerly: "Don't, don't." I...... I listen to you, and don't hurt my child. As he spoke, large teardrops slipped down, and his rough fingers slowly lifted his shirt.
The man's breathing became rapid, and he stared at Webster meticulously, his face unconsciously showed a look of urgency, and his right hand was lowered vertically, and he stepped towards Webster.
Cao Ang emerged from the trees in the northeast direction, held the hilt of the knife in both hands, and leaned towards the man softly, slowly, silently, step by step. The man was immersed in his fiery **, and only Webster's unobstructed body was in his eyes, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all.
When Cao Ang was only a foot away from the man, Cao Ang accelerated violently, rushing towards the man like a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, the long knife was raised high above the top, and without the slightest delay, it slashed at the man's arm.
A terrible roar resounded through the mountains and forests without warning, and the endless echoes were like the wails of hell in all directions.
Cao Ang struck a blow, rushed over and picked up Xiao Qin'er, then quickly ran to Wei's side, handed Xiao Qin'er to her, and then attacked the man again with a knife in his backhand.
The man was in excruciating pain, opening his mouth wide and howling in pain as he staggered and turned to run. Cao Ang chased after him and cut off his head with a knife in his hand, then pinned the long knife to his waist and said to Webster, "Are you okay?" β
Wei Shi came back from the panic and saw that Cao Ang seemed to have come down from the sky to save his mother and son, and immediately cried with joy, and his tense body softened.
"Mr. Cao......"
Cao Ang strode over and hugged Xiao Qin'er, the little thing was frightened, and was crying at the top of his throat, the little man cried so much that his face was red, his face was full of tears and snot, and he went into Cao Ang's arms desperately.
Cao Ang was extremely distressed, wiped his little face with his sleeve, shook it twice, and then said to Wei: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's go to the mountains quickly." β
Cao Ang took Wei and Xiao Qin'er to drive day and night for two days, and they had come to the foot of the north side of Atou Mountain, where the lush forest was a natural barrier wall, providing Cao Ang and them with a certain degree of protection.
In the evening, Cao Ang caught a few fresh fish from a nearby pond and picked some wild fruits. Two or three miles ahead is Danshui, and you can reach Wuguan by following Danshui, and enter Cao Cao's sphere of influence after crossing Wuguan.
The three of them were a little sleepy after eating some melons, fruits and hastily grilled fish, and Xiao Qin'er curled up into Webster's arms, her eyelids trembling, and she fell asleep.
Cao Ang lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he suddenly looked straight at Wei Shi with a hesitant expression.
"Is there anything wrong with the sir?" Webster did not blame Cao Ang for his slightly rude gaze, and asked in surprise.
Cao Ang was silent and turned his head to look away. After a long time, he said softly: "Actually, the original name is called Cao Ang, the word is θ©." β
Wei Shi sighed, didn't think it was strange, gently patted Xiao Qin'er in his arms, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, it's all Mr. Cao anyway." β
Cao Ang's face was expressionless, his eyes did not look at Wei, and he said, "My father is Cao Cao." β
"Oh......" Wei Shi replied habitually, then looked at Cao Ang in horror, and said in disbelief after a long time: "Cao Cao? Which Cao Cao? Is it the big traitor and the big villain Cao Cao? β
Cao Ang smiled and lamented bitterly in his heart, and he didn't care about explaining Cao Cao's name, he just nodded and said flatly: "Yes, it's that Cao Cao." I am the son of the great wicked man in your mouth. β
Webster was stunned, and looked directly at Cao Ang, like a statue that did not move. After a long while, Xiao Qin'er in his arms stretched his waist in his sleep, and kicked his little feet into Webster's arms, waking up the dazed Webster.
"Did Mr. tell Zhang Qiang?" Wei's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was very afraid of Cao Cao's son.
"Well, I told him before he left." On the same day, Cao Ang asked Zhang Qiang to go north to Xudu, and he had already revealed his identity and origin.
Wei Shi breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to squeeze out a little smile calmly, and said: "Then I don't care whose son you are, I just treat you as Mr. Cao who lives in my house, and Mr. Xiao Qin'er in my family." β
Cao Ang's face was stunned, his eyes brightened, and he said, "Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" Rumor has it that my father was a heinous villain......"
Wei Shi's nervousness gradually disappeared, and he waved his hand at Cao Ang, and said, "What kind of person is Sir, how can he harm us!" Besides, our small family is so poor, what is there worth murdering our husband? β
Cao Ang finally showed a relieved smile and said: "Then follow me to Xudu, Brother Zhang Qiang is also there, you go to Xudu to settle down, I will also be Xiao Qin'er's husband, teach him to learn literature and martial arts, and be a good son in the future." β
Webster agreed very happily: "Okay, Mr. said to go, and we will go." β
Cao Ang hummed and slowly stood up, and said, "Hurry up and rest, I have to trek through mountains and rivers tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and walked a few steps to the northwest, and quickly climbed a big tree and looked north.
After looking at it for a while, Cao Ang turned around with a faint sigh, his body froze, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he climbed up to a higher place to look at the south. But I saw that there was a faint fire in the depths of the dense forest, which was connecting in a line from east to west, and was moving rapidly towards the north.
Cao Ang hurriedly jumped down from the tree and whispered to Webster: "Someone is chasing, go quickly." β
Wei Shi was startled, and he didn't have time to ask, so he hurriedly picked up Xiao Qin'er and wrapped it, and walked north with Cao Ang.
After about a quarter of an hour, two men with torches walked to the place where Cao Ang and Webster were resting, and one of them suddenly stopped and shook his nose.
Seeing this, the other person couldn't help but slow down and said, "What are you doing, don't go north quickly." Liang Gongzi said that there are only two ways to escape from our Xiangyang north to Xudu. One is to pass through Atou Mountain and enter Wuguan along Danshui; The other follows the water through Xinye and Wanxian and then goes west into Funiu Mountain. That person has a great enmity with General Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, and he will never follow the water, and he must have escaped along our road. Let's hurry up and catch him, and save this endless tossing. β
"Somebody has been here." The man who stopped his footsteps suddenly lowered his voice and said excitedly: "There is the smell of burning pines and cypresses, and the smell of roasted meat. As he spoke, he kicked his feet around.
The other person also helped to search around, and soon the two found the fish bones and peel pits that Cao Ang and Webster had eaten, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes that could not be concealed.
"Chase!" The two of them spoke in unison, full of energy, and rushed north.
Cao Ang ran with Wei Shi for a while, seeing that Danshui was not far ahead, but a shadow was cast in his heart. After all, Webster is a female streamer, and she gradually feels physically exhausted after running long distances. Besides, the two of them groped their way blindly in the dark, and the speed was really slow.
After walking another section and already came to the bank of the Danshui River, Cao Ang was sweating profusely, his head plunged into the water, and then he raised his head and leaned over to drink the water. Webster sat on the shore with his ass, holding the water in his hands tremblingly and pouring it into Xiao Qin'er's mouth, and when he was full, he lay on the shore and drank water like a cow.
"This road can't be walked." Cao Ang shook his head, the water droplets splashed, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and then said in a deep voice: "Since they have chased here, someone must have seen through our escape route." β
"What then?" Webster was at a loss and hugged Xiao Qin'er tightly.
Cao Ang glanced ahead along the Danshui, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go northeast and go to Wancheng." β
"Ah......" Wei was taken aback, and said in a hesitant voice: "It is rumored that Cao Cao ...... Didn't your father fight with Wancheng, and we went to Wancheng? β
Cao Ang looked helpless and said, "There are other details in this, in short, Wancheng is relatively safer than other places in Jingzhou. The Cai family was determined to kill me, but Zhang Xiu didn't have to kill me. β
Webster was ignorant, and after being surprised, everything was arranged by Cao Ang. At that moment, the two of them crossed the river again and turned to the northeast.
The Cai family was sent by Cai Liang to find Cao Ang along the route to Wuguan, but when Cao Ang decisively changed the route, they went the other way. Cao Ang and Webster ran for another two days relatively calmly, until the night of the third day, when they had already arrived outside Xinye City. As long as the new field is passed, the possibility of a successful escape to the north is greatly increased.
At that moment, Cao Ang found a relatively hidden place outside the city, and planned to rest here for the night, and then pass through the city when the city gate was opened early tomorrow morning.
At the end of the hour, Cao Ang, who was asleep, suddenly broke open his eyes, quickly turned over and knelt on his knees, his ears were firmly on the ground, and after listening carefully for a while, Cao Ang's complexion changed drastically. Looking at Wei and Xiao Qin'er who were sleeping not far away, Cao Ang's face became extremely dignified.
With a slight groan, Cao Ang quickly dragged all kinds of miscellaneous objects from all aroundβtree branches, discarded objects, and a lot of weedsβand covered them in front of the three of them to conceal them.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a jumble of footsteps and shouting from the south. Cao Ang's heart tightened, and he looked out through the gap.
I saw a team of about 1,000 people approaching rapidly in the southeast, and the fire in the team was surging into the sky, and the surroundings were as bright as day. Cao Ang hurriedly retracted his head and tried to lean back, trying to avoid being spotted.
The swords in the team were like hemp spears, halberds were like forests, and the cold light flashed in the firelight, and the thousands of people went straight towards Xinye, without probing along the way. Seeing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but relax slightly.
Seeing that most of the team had already passed by his side, he would all leave in a few moments. At this moment, the sleeping Xiao Qin'er was awakened by the noisy sound and suddenly let out a loud cry.
The night is vast, and the immature but shrill cry is as striking as the light in the night. On one side of the procession, a man who looked like an officer on a tall horse immediately raised his hand to signal to stop. Then he gave two orders to the soldiers around him, and immediately five people walked in the direction of Cao Ang with torches.
Cao Ang only felt that his scalp was numb, and his chest seemed to be pressed with a thousand pounds of heavy stones, and he couldn't help but tighten the long knife that he had been holding in his hand. Gritting his teeth, he looked at Wei Shi, who was woken up by Xiao Qin'er next to him, and said, "Don't make a noise for a while, take Xiao Qin'er and sneak away from behind, leave me alone." β
Webster covered Xiao Qin'er's mouth with one hand and looked at Cao Ang in fear.
The five soldiers were already close in front of him, Cao Ang pushed Wei Shi violently, and then jumped out, and the long knife turned into a lightning bolt and instantly slashed the throats of the five people.
The sudden change in a moment only made the team in front of them feel a little unprepared, but they quickly reacted. When there was even a ** crowd rushing towards Cao Ang.
Cao Ang's body trembled slightly, and he didn't know whether he was scared or excited, but the scene of Wancheng and Dian Wei standing side by side to block the enemy came to his mind, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Big man, after today, Ang can reunite with you again." β
