Wu Qingzhu tried to climb up little by little, but in some places it was slippery and not strong enough, so he could only step on two more feet before he dared to continue to climb up.

This hole was originally designed to catch animals, so there was no place to climb, and from time to time those branches had to dig a hole to climb up.

After he really climbed up, Wu Qingzhu was also relieved, lying on the ground and looking at the sky with a little fish belly, he jumped up with a rub, and the place where he was lying was wet.

"Qingmei, I'll pull Helan up first, and pull you up with me. You wait down there, helping to bring the other two girls with their feet. ”

"Okay, I see, did you find something to pull us?"

"I found two thick sticks, tied together, and I put them down now, and you stay aside so that you don't touch them."

Wu Qingzhu first put the stick down, put it down several times, and then put it down, maybe the first time the business was not very skilled, Wu Qingzhu almost let go of his hand when he pulled it up, and held Helan's hand in time at the last step.

Thinking that Helan's weight would not be too light, Wu Qingzhu exerted a lot of strength, but he didn't expect to directly pull Helan up as if he flew down, but the center of gravity under his feet was unstable and he fell to the ground together.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Wu Qingzhu stepped to the side and cushioned under Helan.

Helan Fei was a little stunned for a moment, except for the time when he was swinging, he had this feeling of being as light as a swallow, what is the situation now?

After landing on the ground, he reacted and lay on Wu Qingzhu's body, and quickly stood up to pull Wu Qingzhu.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know what was going on just now, did you fall?"

At this time, Wu Qingzhu stared at the little person dangling in front of him, with an incredulous expression: "I'm fine, you didn't fall, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, then you get up quickly, we have to hurry up and pull them up."

"Why don't you go and hug the tree."

Helan was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't understand what it meant.

"You're too thin, it's going to be a bit windy, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull you when I pull others."

Helan: "......"

In fact, Helan should weigh more than 80 pounds now, and her skeleton is small, and she is only 1.6 meters tall.

Standing next to Wu Qingzhu, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, he was small and inconspicuous, and he really felt like a child when he heard Wu Qingzhu say this.

In the end, Helan still stood aside to help pull people, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is inconvenient for Wu Qingzhu to pull other girls.

I remember reading a novel that said that a woman and a man would be responsible for touching hands, or saying more, or being alone all night, and if there was such a thing, they would be kicked out of the house.

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous Helan shook his head, and hurriedly continued to pull people, and Qingmei was the last to come up.

After a few girls came up, they shrank and froze badly: "It's so cold, I didn't expect it to be warmer underneath, let's go back quickly." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the others to say anything, one of the little girls who had no feet helped to help the other girl, and the other supported the trees next to them, and they got up one after another, intending to go back.

This night was really terrible, but fortunately they had a big life, and if they went back later, everyone could not guarantee that something would happen.

At this time, Qingmei opened her mouth: "Wait a minute, brother, my foot was broken just now, which will make me lose my strength." ”

One sentence lifted the hearts of Wu Qingzhu and Helan, Helan first picked up his trouser leg and pressed it, then looked at it, and found that it was swollen a lot, and it was estimated that it was still a little misplaced.

"It's too serious, why didn't you say it earlier? Are you sure it wasn't last night? Helan looked at Qingmei's ankle distressedly, and blamed herself very much, she knew that she should have helped underneath.

Wu Qingzhu looked at his sister's ankle and was very distressed: "Come, brother will carry you back." ”

A few people supported each other and walked back cautiously, because there were wounded, and the walk was slower.

A few people walked halfway and happened to meet the clansmen who came to look for them, and most of them were relieved to see that a few people were safe.

And the emotions of several people's families are inevitably a little unbearable, and the girl who hugged her family is crying and big, so it's not lively.

Wu Qingzhu comforted her mother while supporting Qingmei, and waited until the family had cried enough before she remembered to go back quickly.

At this time, Wu's father had changed his back Qingmei, and Helan was lying on his father's shoulder, very comfortable, a sense of steadiness.

And the nagging in my father's mouth is like a kind of music, which enters people's ears, some like it, some don't like it, and gradually I want to fall asleep.

"If it weren't for your brother seeing you, you'd all be in the wolf's belly for a few years...... The girl's family, running around, disobedient...... One or two are not worrying...... Your mother's eyes are going to cry this night......"

Along the way, several people also briefly explained what happened to the clansmen.

The family members of the other three girls trotted over after learning that it was Wu Qingzhu who saved the girl in the family, caught up with Wu Qingzhu's family who were walking in front, shook hands and bowed.

Wu Qingzhu waved his hand again and again, and said politely. Those who came were all elders, and those who dared to take credit for themselves had to be taught to death by their mothers when they went back.

After returning to the cave where they lived, Wu Qingzhu and the three of them wrapped a pair of quilts to keep warm, and after a while, the village chief found someone to send the boiled ginger water one by one.

Mother Wu took it, fed water to a few people and cooked some by herself, it is always good to drink more.

When his body eased up, Wu Qingzhu suddenly thought about what happened to the three children they went to find last night.

"Alas, it's also pitiful, disobedient, and the place where I walked was quite deep, so I found shoes and torn clothes, probably taken away by wolves." Father Wu couldn't help but sigh when he talked about such a thing.

Helan turned her head to look at the three families who cried the most, and she didn't know what to say, who could they blame?

When he first arrived, the village chief said that there were wild beasts on the mountain, and if they dared to go any further, they might die, and a few people didn't listen to it, but they ran away from the adults, and they didn't think about how sad their families should be.

"Helan, Helan?" After Wu's mother helped Qingmei put on a hot towel, she asked Helan if she didn't hit her feet, but she didn't ask the little girl to reply after saying it twice, and when she turned her head, she saw that Helan was out of her mind.

"Ah, what's wrong, mother?"

I said, "Did you get hurt in any way?" You okay? ”

"I'm fine, it's just that my arm hurts a little." It's just a little cold

"What's going on?" When Wu's mother heard this, she hurriedly pulled Helan's arm, washed it, and rubbed it.

"It should have been stretched when I was pulling someone just now, mother, you will rub it for her later, just take a break."

"It's a good thing that you met them, otherwise the little girls don't know where they are now, and they don't know when this day will pass." Mother Wu was in tears as she spoke.

"It is estimated that it won't be long, after today's incident, there will definitely be people who can't sit still and want to go back, and tomorrow the village chief will go down the mountain to have a look, and if there is nothing to do, I can go back in a few days." Grandpa Wu sat on the side and chattered.

Father Wu blinked his mouth, he hadn't smoked for a while, and his mouth was about to die of discomfort.

Sure enough, as Grandpa Wu expected, in the evening, he and the village chief called the older people with more status in the clan together to discuss things.

After Grandpa Wu came back, he told his family that what he said in the afternoon had come true, so he could rest assured, and he would know what was going on when Haishen came back.

Wu Qingzhu, who heard this, was still a little uneasy, and always felt that this matter would not be so easy to solve this time.

"Grandpa, I think I don't have to wait a few days, I don't think it's that simple, in case our people go down, they won't be able to come back."

"Probably not, find a few clever and smart ones, and you won't have an accident when you see the opportunity."

Wu Qingzhu could only sigh when he couldn't persuade him.

On the second day, a slightly older man in the village went down the mountain with a few young people, and there were no more accidents along the way.

When I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I first looked at the village from a distance, and only after finding that there was nothing abnormal did I dare to walk in slowly.

In the village, except for the collapse of the two houses that had just entered the village, there was nothing unusual about the others.

The older men left the two younger ones in the village first.

"I'll take the two of them to the other villages, you just wait here, and we'll be back in the evening."

"Then Uncle Haishen, please pay attention to safety, let's go to the cellar at home to hide first, and you come back to find us."

After the group of six people separated, the four people who left divided into two teams and went to two villages respectively.

There are two major villages of Liujia Village and Zhangjia Village next to each other near here, and the three villages are also watching and helping each other, except for the different surnames, the relationship between everyone is still very good.

After a long time, and because the village often intermarried, some relatives were more or less related to each other, and the village chief sent the people in the village to quarantine and notify them that night, but I don't know if they have escaped this disaster.

Not only did they have caves to take refuge in Wujia Village, but other villages had places to settle down when they encountered difficulties.

A few people came here to see if there was any news from other villages that they didn't know.

When one of the teams arrived at a village, the villagers did not leave, which could not help but make him curious, and he dared to go forward to inquire after seeing that there was nothing unusual, but when he arrived at the village, he found that only the old and weak women and children were left, and there were only a few strong laborers left in each family.

First, I talked to the elderly, but I didn't dare to reveal the fact that the village was stationed in the mountains.

Immediately after that, he said that he was visiting relatives, and he happened to pass by here, so he thought about the old man, so he sat down and chatted.

In the evening, the three couples got together and told the news they had gotten today.

It turned out that it was not the bandits who were in rebellion, it was the officers and soldiers, and the three princes rebelled, and now soldiers and food are levied everywhere.

And because they were on the road to Kyoto that went unnoticed, they thought of attacking this place first and using it as a transit point in the rear.
