As soon as Gu Yu said this, Xia Ting also thought of the seriousness of the matter. After a day's work, people don't have to rest at night, and they definitely can't stand it. In addition, the road conditions are unknown at night, and the mountain road back to the village has nine twists and eighteen bends, and it is said that there are bandits on the mountains farther away......

These are all twists and turns.

But when they don't have money to spare, they can't hire people to deliver the goods. During the day, there were barely enough people, and it was really impossible to divert a man to leave for a few hours to carry goods.

This is a problem that will have to be solved sooner or later.

"Well, let's go back tonight. Let's ask the eldest lady to find someone tomorrow, 10 yuan a day, including food, and let him transport the goods to us. "Now is the time for farming, and I am afraid that there is not enough labor, and it is not easy to find people.

Now that I'm recruiting, I don't know when someone will come.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, Xia Ting broke this annoying annoyance and said, "Oh, it's okay." The boat is naturally straight to the front. Let's be careful then, and the two of us will go back so that we can take care of them. It's good to find someone, but if you can't find it, we can buy it in town. It's more expensive, and there's always something to earn. "That's right, they're not afraid of not making money, they're just slowing down.

They are young and have a lot of opportunities. Don't cowardice~

Xia Ting decided to go back with Gu Yu tonight. Today, the eldest brother has been tired all day, more tired than her and the second brother, so let him rest for a good night. Tomorrow night, it's better to take turns to change people. Well, she naturally has a reason to go back - she is a person with a golden finger~ If you don't go back to pick vegetables, it's a waste!

I finally persuaded the two brothers with affection and reason, and after finishing the work, I found that there was a thin layer of sweat on my head, and it seemed that the weather was getting warmer and warmer.

Sitting on the ox cart, Xia Ting is somewhat comfortable, there is no sun exposure, there is no noisy noise, everything is quiet, everything is peaceful. The night sky was dotted with stars, as if following their footsteps, moving forward together.

Xia Ting's mood gradually relaxed, and he actually had a comfortable sleep.

"Click."

The ox cart was stunned, and Xia Ting's body was shaken. She opened her hazy eyes in fright, and asked in a daze, "Huh?" Second brother, why did you stop? ”

"I don't know. I'll get out of the car and see, you don't move on it. "The vision is not good at night, and Gu Yu can't say what the situation is.

He got out of the car to check the situation, he didn't know what was moving, Xia Ting, who was in the car, felt that the ox cart was back to normal in an instant, and thought that the problem should be solved.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gu Yu to come back and say, "It's nothing." He grabbed the rear wheel with the tools used for hunting and was forced to stop. ”

Before, she said in her heart that it was impossible not to worry about a certain situation. But she couldn't say it, so as not to distract the second brother, so she had to pretend not to worry. Hearing Gu Yu say this, Xia Ting felt a lot more relieved.

For several nights in a row, everything was fine.

Since the accident on the first night, Xia Ting was still cautious and brought two daggers. She carried a handful, the eldest brother and the second brother, all with her. It's not a good person, but also a beast or something. It's so dark, and during this season, many wild animals will come down to the mountains to feed, and if they are hungry, they will be innocent.

Xia Ting is now used to taking a nap on the ox cart first, don't you say, this cool breeze is more than sleeping on the bed, and it has a different taste. She is still very satisfied with this little life.

Half-asleep, she suddenly felt that the starlight on the mountain in front of her seemed to be moving. At first she thought it was stars, but ...... The more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes.

Xia Ting suddenly panicked in his heart, and he couldn't say why, "Big brother, look at the mountain over there!" ”

Being drunk by Xia Ting, Gu Lin's whole body tensed up, and he looked in the direction that Xia Ting was pointing. Even if his experience in hunting in the mountains is not as rich as that of his father, he is also a person who has seen the scene. The starlight was clearly someone walking towards them with a torch.

At this time, it is getting late, and normal people have already rested, and the people who haunt at this time are probably the people they have been most afraid of encountering.

"Get out of the back and try not to show your face! When you're in danger, run away, you know! In an emergency, he still has to ensure Xia Ting's safety first.

Women, in this day and age, are too precious. Their family can't live without Xia Ting. As long as she's safe, it doesn't matter what happens to him.

Seeing Gu Lin's resolute attitude, this is not the time to be hypocritical, she naturally knows what to do, but she still can't help but worry: "Don't work too hard, run away if you can, you know?" Saving your life is the most important thing. ”

Seeing that Xia Ting's mood was not very good, Gu Lin teased him in a tone that he was not good at: "Don't you worry about me, big brother?" Over here! Gu Lin patted his biceps, "My meal is not in vain." ”

Knowing Gu Lin's thoughts, Xia Ting reluctantly showed an ugly smile.

Gu Lin hurriedly drove the ox cart to a small hill below, trying to hide himself as much as possible and not to meet the other party. They have to think on the bright side now, the other party doesn't see themselves, and the goal is not themselves.

There are more and more sparks, bigger and bigger, seeing that the other party is getting closer and closer to him, Gu Lin's expression is getting more and more serious, and the surroundings around them are so quiet that even the sound of the wind and grass can be heard clearly, Xia Ting is even afraid that the sound of his breathing will reveal his whereabouts.

I hope that the other party is just passing by and the idea is a little disillusioned.

In the night, Xia Ting's face was pale, she always kept calm, hoping that she could be more restrained later, not to cause trouble to the second brother, and to give them more safe space.

"Let's go! We continued downhill. See there's a groove hole in that? You hide there later, I'll go and lure them away!" Gu Lin looked at the situation below, analyzed the situation, and commanded.

What Xia Ting was worried about still happened. For her sake, he risked his life, took the initiative to expose himself, lured them away, and left himself with hope of survival.

She didn't want to be pretentious at all times, but the situation was really worrying: "What about yourself?" ”

"I'm familiar with the road below, and I'll get rid of them when it's almost there. When it's safe, I'll come back to you, but the ox cart may not be saved. Remember, don't run around, lest you lose it. Gu Lin smiled, with confidence in his smile, at this moment, he made people feel full of strength in their hearts and trusted him unconditionally.

"It doesn't matter what, do you know the most important thing to save your life? In case of...... They asked for money, and you gave it, okay? Xia Ting prepared for the worst, and also told her his lowest request. She doesn't want anything, she just wants the other party to be safe. Money is something outside the body, as long as the life is there, money can be earned again.

Gu Lin nodded and patted her slightly trembling hand.

Then, quietly leaving, he made a deliberate noise when he reached a place that just covered her corner.

Xia Ting always paid attention to the situation, and when she saw those sparks suddenly speeding up and running towards Gu Lin, her heart suddenly tightened, she never knew that her heart could beat so fast.

When they completely disappeared from sight, Xia Ting kept an eye on it, and after making sure that there was no one around, he quietly moved to the hole in the groove according to the instructions of the eldest brother.

If you are not familiar with the mountainous terrain, you will not find such an ingenious place. Moreover, it can only fit one person.

Xia Ting hid inside, and even his breathing was out of order. She had never been settled, both physically and mentally in a state of tension. She touched the dagger hidden in her arms, trying to give herself courage.

"Bang!! Syllable~~! ”

There was the sound of fighting in the distance, and the sound of cows neighing, and after a while, the flames were blazing!

Big brother must have run into that gang of bandits! Listening to the voice, there are a lot of people coming from the other party, and the eldest brother is invincible with two fists and four hands, and he definitely can't have the upper hand.

Struggle between stealing and sacrificing one's life for righteousness, between the self and the self, Xia Ting finally walked out tremblingly. She didn't know if she had made the right choice at this point, she didn't know if it would cause trouble, she just wanted to follow her heart.

Although she was caught, she suffered the consequences and did not regret it.

Xia Ting followed the trail of the road, and she found that the road was full of traps and tools! Obviously, these bandits are prepared, and I am afraid that tonight is not a sudden incident, but has been planned for a long time.

In the few nights they have been coming, I am afraid that they have already been targeted.

Xia Ting saw that some weapons had not been used at all, and estimated that they would be used later, so Xia Ting slipped away.

I hope the eldest brother is okay, otherwise, she will not be able to live in this life. She didn't have the ability to take on a living human life.

The closer you get, the more obvious the sound of the fights becomes, and the blood stains along the way are more and denser. Here, will it also be mixed with the blood of the eldest brother?

Approaching the fight area, people were lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. The sound of fighting is still there, that is, everyone on the ground is a bandit!

Xia Ting walked over quickly, but she was careful not to leave too many traces, and she didn't let those people find out.

She ran under a tree, and in the faint silver glow, the shadow of the tree just completely obscured her, little by little, approached ......

At present, the eldest brother is fighting with the three gangsters, the eldest brother is outflanked and surrounded, the two sides are facing each other, the eldest brother's expression is still calm, and his eyes are always waveless, full of coldness and fierceness at the moment, the dagger in his hand is stained with blood, and the arm is dripping with blood.

Xia Ting watched secretly, a little anxious in his heart.

The weapons she picked up, there was a tool like a rat trap, and there were preliminary ground ~~ mines, these were not touched, and they were still new and usable.

Now in this situation, the ground ~~ mine is useless. Only the rat trap...... Xia Ting opened the mouse trap and placed it next to the tree, covered it with grass a little, and then picked up a small stone and threw it at the nearest bandit.
