Chapter Ninety-Two: The Boar Blocks the Way
There is a road that is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, no, Wen Shu found out that this road can only allow a carriage to pass by, but the terrain is also straight down, quite steep.
For safety, she had to give up driving and instead get out of the car and lead the horse slowly.
The ladies in the carriage clung to the wall of the carriage with both hands, lest they slip out if they accidentally leaned forward.
The light emitted by the Migu branch played a great role at this time. The mountain road is rugged and gentle, and without its light to illuminate the road ahead, it is very likely that the carriage will be driven by mistake to a deep ravine or a cliff.
"This kind of glowing branch, where did the little lady get it, it's rare." Mama Chen is conceited that she is a lot older and has enough knowledge, but she has never seen such a magical tree.
"What I accidentally saw when I was exploring the way, I was turned over." Meaning, there is no longer the place where it was.
Before Mama Chen could say something, several animal cries sounded on both sides of the road, mixed with a few wolf howls.
Wen Shu, who had just experienced being besieged by wolves, subconsciously trembled, not to mention the ladies in the car, if it weren't for the bright light in front of the car, which made their hearts settle down a little, I am afraid they would have screamed directly.
The guards showed their swords defensively.
The crowd walked cautiously for a while, and when they had walked out of the field for about a mile, there was a sudden commotion and rumbling footsteps behind them.
Wen Shu looked back in horror, not knowing whether the person who came was friend or foe.
"Hurry up, the thieves are coming!"
I don't know who shouted in the dark, Wen Shu hurriedly jumped into the car in fright, and shouted to the guards behind him: "Hurry up!" ”
Hearing this, the guards also jumped on the wheels one after another, waving their whips to drive the horses.
Fortunately, they were not far from the foot of the mountain, and although the road behind them was not easy to walk, the terrain was quite flat, and the speed of the horses was acceptable.
The whistling mountain wind poured into the carriage from the curtain, Lu Xingwan shivered in the violently bumpy carriage, and Mama Chen hurriedly hugged her in her arms when she saw this.
Silver Red and Green Willow clung to the wall of the carriage with both hands, and the two leaned forward slightly, trying to block out some of the cold wind from outside.
As the carriage moved rapidly, the shouts and footsteps behind him gradually became farther and farther away. After a while, the carriage turned onto the official road.
Just when Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief. There seemed to be a black shadow on the official road ahead, and when I got closer, I found that it was a group of wild boars, some large and some small, adding up to at least twenty or so.
"Get out of the way!" Wen Shu snorted, and the wild boar herd was unmoved, and it seemed that they were not afraid of people.
At this time, the running horse also stopped and stopped.
Wen Shu was in a hurry, and he didn't know what the situation was behind him, and if he was delayed for a while, the risk of being caught up would be a little longer.
"Drive!" She shook the reins and drove the horse forward.
But the horse was unmoved, and she gave another whip, and the horse was in pain, and neighed, but remained unmoved.
Helpless, she had to pull the whip forward, this whip, just hit a little wild boar, the little wild boar was in pain, let out a muffled snort, which provoked the big wild wolf.
More than a dozen fat and strong wild boars turned their heads in unison, and their long fangs made people's hearts shiver.
When the guards saw this, they hurriedly drew their swords and abandoned the car and surrounded them, blocking in front of the main car.
The wild boars just stared at them fiercely, but they didn't take the initiative to attack, and they didn't know if they were looking at too many people or something. And the guards didn't dare to make a rash move, because they were fed potions in the afternoon, and they couldn't do anything, so they could only defend passively.
A group of people and a group of pigs confronted each other silently, as if they were more patient than anyone else.
At this time, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves behind him, Wen Shu was so anxious that there would be no caravan in the middle of the night, and after thinking about it, there was only the group of people on the mountain.
But she can't deal with so many wild boars alone!
In a hurry, she suddenly thought that she still had a packet of veratrol powder in her sleeve.
Xiaoxing said that this kind of thing can be inhaled from the mouth and nose, which can make people incapacitated for a short time, although she has not tried the effect yet, but the current situation does not allow her to think too much.
"Everyone, hold your breath!" She let out a loud shout, then spilled the quinoa powder into the wind.
Although the guards didn't know what she was going to do, because of what happened before, they trusted her very much, and they covered their mouths and noses at the moment, and Lu Xingwan and others in the car also obediently covered their mouths with handkerchiefs.
The wind was beautiful, a gust of mountain wind blew, the direction was the wild boar herd, the faint white powder was not obvious in the dark night, the wild boars did not notice anything unusual, but were startled by Wen Shu's sentence "everyone holds their breath".
Then they feel that something is wrong.
Hey? I feel a little blurry in front of my eyes.
Yo, I can't stand still.
After only a few breaths, the wild boar herd staggered and fell to the ground with no physical strength.
Wen Shu was overjoyed, immediately turned around and returned to the wheel, and said to everyone: "Get in the car and continue to hurry." ”
"Yes." The guards answered, and they hurried back to their respective cars.
At this time, the sound of fighting behind him seemed to be closer, Wen Shu was full of only that goal, as long as Miss Lu was safe, the others were not within the scope of her worries.
But the guards are different, there are their companions in the battle behind, companions who get along day and night, life and death together, as long as they think that they are still fighting bloodily, it is difficult to convince themselves that they should not see and flee for their lives alone.
Wen Shu ran for a while, and found that the cars behind him didn't seem to be keeping up, so he couldn't help but look back, and he was dumbfounded.
What are those people doing! Why did it all stop? Why don't you come along?
When I go back at this time, what else can I do but die!
Wait, why does she seem to see Lord Lu?
No, no, it must be dazzling?
No matter what, the task matters!
She can't control the rest, but she can still call the shots in this carriage.
At that moment, regardless of what the guards behind him thought, with a wave of the horsewhip, the horse ran again, and at the same time prayed in his heart for those people, hoping that they would come back safely at the end.
They ran about three miles away, and the sound of the horses' hooves behind them did not go farther and farther, but got closer and closer, as if they were chasing after their buttocks.
Wen Shu was anxious, if it was their own people, how could they shout at this time, chasing after them silently, who else could there be besides the group of mountain bandits.
It's over, it's over, those people won't all be killed.
At that moment, with a wave of the horsewhip, the carriage drove faster, and Lu Xingwan and the others in the car were caught off guard and almost fainted.
Lu Yuancheng looked at the carriage in front of him, and he got up angrily, and shouted: "Stop, don't run!" ”
But Wen Shu heard this tone, this tone!
It's over, the thieves are really chasing after them, why don't you stop!
