Chapter Twenty-Four: Avoiding Disaster in the Mountains

Gu Anxia found that there were no more than ten families in total, plus the Lizheng family and the second sister-in-law's mother's house (that is, Gu Tianxing's grandmother's house).

There is also a widow Gu Wang with her ten-year-old son Gu Xiao, who only pushes a cart of belongings.

The remaining 20 or so villagers are still hesitating, and some are even persuading the big guys to stay in the village together.

They felt that if they wanted to hide in the inner mountains of Shuangao Mountain and cross the Liangjie Ridge, it would be no different from being dragged to be a strong man, they would all die for life.

Don't hide out, just hand over some food!

In previous years, there was also a grain collection from the imperial court, and there was no death.

This group of villagers, who have lived in this remote village and town all their lives, naturally does not understand that the prince cannot collect grain except for the fiefdom.

I even heard some villagers shouting: The prince is still the son of the emperor, isn't he coming to collect grain from the imperial court?

Although the ancient father persuaded everyone many times, Li Zheng also bitterly said that he would not enter the deep mountains, but would hide near the Two Realms Ridge!

But even so, there were only three more families than just now.

The big guy is reluctant to go, and one of the main reasons is to believe in Master Yan.

He felt that he had already made a name for himself as a child, but he did not have to be afraid of conscription and food.

If someone comes to embarrass the villagers, you can also hand over the name card to the county master and ask him to call the shots!

This is a reassuring pill for most people.

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Guli did not hesitate at the moment, and set off for the mountains with everyone.

At this moment, there was a burst of scolding and crying in the team of the ancient father's family, it turned out that the boss Gu Anen was quarreling with the little Wu family!

The old lady also hurriedly ran over, at this time, how could she still be in the mood to make a fuss?

is different from the previous bickering, I saw Gu Anen slap Xiao Wu's fan to the ground, and scolded non-stop:

"You slut! I told you that I didn't have time to go to my father-in-law's house to report the news, but you still went with your two sons!

Lao Tzu is going to divorce you, divorce you! Hurry up and go back to your old Wu family!

If something happens to Tianjin and Tianyu, Lao Tzu will dip you in a pig cage! ”

When Gu Tai heard the eldest son's scolding, she felt that her legs and feet were weak, and she fell to the ground.

Ouch cried, crying and thinking of his eldest grandson.

Wang and Zhang hurriedly helped the old lady up and sent her to the old father's mule cart, the old couple were sad on their faces, after all, Gu Tianjin and Gu Tianyu were the only two men in the long house.

When everyone saw this, they stopped, but they didn't know how to persuade them, and they only hoped that nothing would happen.

The old man knelt in front of the mule cart and knocked his head three times:

"Father, mother, I only have two sons, I can't watch them have an accident and let the big house go to death, and my son has to chase them back.

If there is a case, you should be a child who is not filial, and in the next life, you will be a cow and a horse for your second elder, in order to repay the kindness of parenting! ”

The old father was in tears, but he grabbed the old woman who was going to stop the eldest son. He turned around and didn't look at Gu Da, and fell silent.

Hearing the movement of the eldest son getting up to leave, the old man shouted loudly:

"No matter what, try to stay alive!"

The old man paused, and then ran in the direction of the village, and Xiao Wu also chased after him.

Gu Tianxing was very hesitant, but he also knew that if he went to help, he was afraid that Gu Dad's group would be in danger, so he had to follow everyone to the road again.

The outer mountains of Shuangao Mountain are still quite easy to walk, although the trail is narrow, fortunately, the trees are not very dense, and the ox cart is quite stable.

After a quick day's walk, I finally arrived at the Two Realms Ridge in the evening.

Guri is arranging for the big guys to spend the night here.

In fact, the villagers all have such thoughts, after all, everyone's fear of the Two Realms Ridge and the inner mountain has been cultivated for decades.

Stopping here, I also have thoughts:

I guessed that by the end of the night, the soldiers would have almost left, and they would be able to return to the village.

The old father arranged his old woman, and thought about asking his little granddaughter to see if he could calculate whether the eldest son's family was safe.

Gu Tianxing had to sweep the village with his divine sense, and this look made him almost unstable.

Daao Village, which was originally peaceful and quiet, was now shrouded in black smoke.

The stumps and severed arms in one place, and the stripped girls staring at the black eyes, the monstrous hatred can still be read in the dilated pupils!

A group of twenty cavalrymen, carrying torches and being guided by a few villagers, was approaching in their direction.

Gu Tianxing quickly retracted his divine sense, and before he could speak, he vomited.

This really can't be blamed on her, although she has lived two lifetimes, and now she has cultivated the immortal law, but she really can't stand seeing such a tragic scene.

After all, in the 21st century, that peace-loving era, I really didn't even dare to kill a chicken.

The old father was startled, and he didn't dare to ask anything more, so he quickly called the second child, and quickly fed the little granddaughter some water to rinse her mouth.

Gu Tianxing didn't have time to take care of these, grabbed her father Gu Anze's sleeve and shouted with all his might:

"Let's go, let's go to the Uchiyama!"

Gu Anze was shocked, quickly called everyone, and didn't explain much, only yelled and shouted:

"Let's go! Fast! ”

With the mule cart in hand, he and the three brothers took the family and quickly rushed to the inner mountain.

Although everyone didn't know why, at this special time, they saw their whole family rushing desperately, and they didn't care about saying anything, they all followed closely with their heads.

It's just that the children don't understand this, they were woken up just after they fell asleep, and now they are crying even more.

Gu Anze whipped the car and yelled:

"Won't you be coaxing? Everyone is chasing after them!

I'm worried that I can't find us, crying like this, is it disgusted that the big guy didn't die fast enough?! ”

Such a roar shocked the villagers into a cold sweat, and everyone only thought that Gu Anze had just gone to the direction of the village to inquire and found that the pursuers were so anxious.

At this moment, I didn't care about the bumps, I just ran for my life in a hurry, and the children who couldn't be coaxed were also tightly covered by their families.

Gu Tianxing was coaxed by her milk in her arms, unwilling to get off the mule cart. Because of her cultivation, she has always had extremely strong physical fitness and has never been sick.

Now he is silently shedding tears and shaking.

The old father sighed on the side, blaming himself, but there was nothing he could do in order to survive.

It took a full hour for everyone to rush through the Two Realms Ridge.

The ancient trees here are intertwined, and it is very difficult to drive through this dense forest.

Gu Tianxing was also a lot calmer at the moment, and she secretly wondered that those pursuers were only afraid that they were not far from her.

They all rode fast horses, and they couldn't escape like this.

The Divine Sense glanced closer, and there was a large cave, but it was not very hidden.

If you have the heart to look for it, it is only a matter of time before you are discovered, but it is better than being caught up in the open.

Gu Tianxing immediately told her father her idea, and Gu Tianxing immediately asked the villagers to stop and discuss, and everyone expressed surprise that he had actually entered the Two Realms Ridge.

However, everyone is tired all day, and if they rush again, not to mention the elderly and children, they will be exhausted even if they are in the prime of life.

Now they all agree to go to the cave that the old father knew.

Because I was in a hurry, I had to wander around to find some wide, easy-to-walk paths, and after a while, I finally reached the vicinity of the cave.

Li Zheng arranged for the children to pick some hay, and asked a few people to smoke the entire cave, and finally sprinkled the cave with realgar powder collected from door to door.

The adults were all arranged to carry their luggage, because it was difficult to walk on foot from this short distance from the cave, and the ox carts could not enter at all.

Gu Anxia and Gu Tianxing took a few villagers together to drive the ox carts and mule carts of each family into the mountain, and covered the traces with fallen leaves.

Although there are a lot of things, fortunately, there are many people, and even children as young as seven or eight years old can help a lot.

After a while, everyone had already settled in the cave, and put a lot of branches at the entrance of the cave to cover it.

Gu Tianxing took advantage of the fact that there was still some time to carefully erase the stampede marks on the road leading to the cave.

In order to look more natural, she did not hesitate to use her spiritual power to give birth to a small section of grass.

Finally, when he returned to the cave, he set up a sound-breaker array at the entrance of the cave, and it took a lot of spiritual power to get these done.

People in this formation can hear the sound outside, but the outside can't hear the inside, which is just right!

Everyone was resting in the cave, some of them packing up their things to see what they had lost along the way.

There are also some who count the food hidden at home, and don't know if it has been looted.

The old father and the old couple always chattered about the cows and mules that rushed to the mountain, and they didn't know if they could keep it! Although it is tied to a rope, it will be eaten by wild beasts if it is not even kept!

Of course, Gu Tianxing wouldn't tell them that he had already left a coercion in the vicinity.

Don't say much, deter beasts or something, three or four hours is no problem.

About half an hour passed, and everyone fell asleep with exhaustion.

Suddenly, the neighing of horses woke up the big guy.

In the darkness, a group of people held torches, looking for something.

Several people dressed as villagers cried:

"Li Zheng, Gu Dad, Uncle Wang, where are you all hiding? Come out quickly, if we don't come out, a few of us will die! ”

After shouting for a while to no avail, several people were beaten again by the group of soldiers on horseback.

Gu Anyumao, the eldest son of the Li Zheng family, took a look at the entrance of the cave, then turned back to the inside and whispered:

"It's the lepers in our village and the bastards in Guhua, not far from us."

Before he could speak, he only heard the men begging for mercy:

"Adults, it's not a few small ones who are not dedicated, it's really the evil spirit of this inner mountain.

Not to mention looking for someone, in the past, no one from our village could get out alive. ”

The soldier at the head impatiently stabbed the man who spoke, and said:

"Search me again, I won't believe it, this rural pariah can actually escape Lao Tzu's fiery eyes!"

After begging for mercy, several villagers hurriedly searched, but they got closer and closer to the cave.

Everyone in the cave held the guy in their hands tightly, and they didn't dare to breathe.

The women stared at their children for fear of making a noise.
