Chapter 120: Escape
Fortunately, the people in the village were always vigilant in case the Huns attacked, and they had also done this practice, so they naturally knew how to save their lives.
If Gu Feng hadn't discovered something strange in Feng Village in the west first, maybe their Zhaojia Village would also be in danger of slaughtering the village.
The winter nights were so cold that the cold wind was blowing wantonly, and many old people and children, even in heavy clothes, could not resist the cold and stood there shivering.
Village Chief Zhao originally wanted to take everyone to the town, and their village led to the town on a flat road, and on both sides of the avenue were their fields.
The fields are bare in winter, and there is no place to hide, and Village Chief Zhao pondered that if he took such a group of people directly to the town, he might soon be caught up by the Huns and become their live targets.
After thinking about it for a long time, Village Chief Zhao only had one choice left, and that was to enter the mountain.
The terrain in the mountains is complicated, and there are forests to cover it, and after the people in the village go in, even if the Xiongnu catch up, they can take advantage of the advantages in the mountains and hide.
Thinking of this, Village Chief Zhao felt that entering the mountain was the best choice, Gu Feng was very familiar with the route in the mountain, so he could ask Gu Feng to take them into the mountain together.
Village Chief Zhao specially pulled Gu Feng aside and discussed it with Gu Feng.
In fact, Gu Feng had long been ready to enter the mountain, and he was confident that he would be able to evade the pursuit of the Huns in the mountain.
But if you take the whole village with you, it's not so simple.
Gu Feng couldn't speak first, because he was worried that if something happened, the people in the village would implicate their anger on him.
He thought about it at that time, if the people in the village were going to the town, then he would take the people of the Su family into the mountain himself.
People are always so selfish, and when something happens again, they always habitually blame others.
Now that Village Chief Zhao has spoken like this, the people in the village have no objections, and silently follow Gu Feng behind him towards the mountain one by one.
Although there are wild beasts in the mountains, it is winter, and most of them do not come out often.
Some people feel sorry for their own food, and look back at their homes farther and farther away, for fear that they will bump into the Huns as soon as they go back, not because they are worried about what they won't eat next year, but whether they can see the sun tomorrow again. Village Chief Zhao led everyone to walk towards the mountain, and as soon as he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which shook the earth.
The cold moonlight fell on the mountain, everyone stood halfway up the mountain and looked at the village, their faces were pale with fright, those who wanted to go home to get food were a little lucky, fortunately they didn't go back, otherwise they directly bumped into the Huns.
Originally, Zhaojia Village was pitch black, but now there are torches lit everywhere.
The only thing left in their homes was grain, and they all carried all the silver with them, the Xiongnu were not fools, some of them stayed in Zhaojia Village to carry grain, and a small part of them scattered around to find the people in the village, so as to take the silver from them.
With silver, the Huns still have to worry about running out of food in the future?
Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er walked in the front to lead the way, and seeing that Su Jiu'er was a little difficult to walk the mountain road, he asked in a low voice, "I'm carrying you on my back." ”
"No, you don't." Su Jiu'er bit her lower lip, gasped roughly, raised her eyes to look at Gu Feng, and barely showed a smile, "Xianggong, I'm fine, I can go by myself." ”
If she couldn't survive tonight, Su Jiu'er thought that without her burden, Gu Feng would definitely be able to leave safely.
Seeing Su Jiu'er's stubborn appearance, Gu Feng sighed helplessly, and could only listen to her words obediently.
The people of Zhaojia Village walked towards the mountains in an orderly and quiet manner, and there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the middle, and they walked very slowly on the mountain road, dragging down the people of the whole village.
Gu Feng was always vigilant around, looking at the bright light at the foot of the mountain, his eyes were cold, and he whispered to Su Jiu'er on the side, "Someone has caught up with the mountain!" ”
"So, what to do?" Su Jiu'er was a little flustered in her heart, and looked at Gu Feng nervously, her voice trembled, and her cold hand was holding Gu Feng's hand tightly.
"I'll lead someone to stop them."
"Xianggong!" Su Jiu'er's hand grabbed Gu Feng's arm, she was inexplicably a little scared in her heart, and her nose was a little pantothenic, "Don't go." ”
Even if Zhaojiacun is all dead, she hopes that Gu Feng can live well.
Su Jiu'er regretted it, she should have learned one or two tricks from Gu Feng, so that she could stand by Gu Feng's side in such a dangerous time.
However, she is only a burden now.
"Obedient, if I don't go, none of us can leave, you take good care of yourself," Gu Feng said, stretched out his hand to hold Su Jiu'er in his arms, touched the bow hand for a long time and comforted Su Jiu'er's back, bowed his head and kissed Su Jiu'er's forehead reluctantly, and said hurriedly, "You follow your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I will take the people from our village to the place where I took you." ”
Tears rolled in her eyes, Su Jiu'er grabbed Gu Feng's sleeve like a child, and couldn't say a word uncomfortably.
The heartbeat gradually accelerated, and Su Jiu'er grabbed Gu Feng's hand and couldn't help but work harder.
Gu Feng smiled at Su Jiu'er, handed Su Jiu'er to the Zhao family, walked up to the village chief, and said the matter briefly.
Before going up the mountain, everyone knew that if there were pursuers, a young man would be sent from every household to stay behind to stop the pursuers.
Everyone knows that those who remain basically have no chance of survival.
Everyone watched those people leave, reluctant in their hearts, but helpless.
Su Jiu'er watched Gu Feng walk down the mountain with those young and strong men, and her heart trembled slightly.
Tian Xiaoniu, who was standing not far from Su Jiu'er, cried a handful of snot and tears, raised her hand to wipe her tears vigorously, and sobbed quietly.
"Shut up!" When Village Chief Zhao heard Tian Xiaoniu's crying voice, his brows furrowed, and he shouted, "You want to summon the beast?" ”
Tian Xiaoniu stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and the fat girl's face was distorted and deformed because of crying, and tears stained her face.
Without Gu Feng, everyone could only rely on Su Jiu'er to take them into the mountain.
There were still a few young men left in the village, each with sticks in their hands, guarding the perimeter of the procession in case of a surprise attack by wild beasts.
Su Jiu'er led everyone towards the cave that Gu Feng had agreed to, the cave was found by Gu Feng early in the morning, and it was a haven specially reserved for them, and there was more than half a month of grain piled up in it.
When she arrived in the cave, Su Jiu'er blocked the cave with weeds according to what Gu Feng said, and sat in it silently, tears falling uncontrollably.
She is safe now, but what about Gu Feng, can he come back?
Su Jiu'er only knows now that she is not a god, and it is impossible to know everything that will happen in the future, even if she does, she is not capable enough, she is still the Su Jiu'er who needs to be protected in the previous life.
In the previous life, Su Jiu'er vaguely remembered the embrace that Gu Feng hugged her, at that time, he was full of arrows all over his body, and blood soaked his entire clothes.
He died for her......
And in this life, he did not hesitate to take the men in the village to stop the Huns.
Every time, when she was in danger, Gu Feng gave her a safe environment.
There were bursts of pain in her stomach, Su Jiu'er's face was bloodless, her body curled up involuntarily, and her hands were dead on her stomach.
Everyone did not dare to light a fire or make a sound in the cave, but they all curled up silently and leaned against the mountain wall, praying in their hearts that their families would come back alive.
The cold moonlight shone into the cave through the weeds, and Zhao's sharp eyes found that Su Jiu'er's expression was a little wrong, so he hurriedly approached Su Jiu'er's side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?" ”
Su Jiu'er was sweating coldly on her forehead, panting roughly, trying to ignore the pain in her stomach.
The pain became more and more intense, and Su Jiu'er sat next to the cave, her thin body trembling in the cold winter night.
Zhao hurriedly put the quilt he brought on Su Jiu'er's body, and grabbed Su Jiu'er's hand tightly, "You must hold on, wait until tomorrow morning, maybe we can go back!" ”
Zhao also knew what he said, he was just coaxing Su Jiu'er, "Maybe, Gu Feng will come back, he is so good, as long as he gets rid of the pursuers, he will come back to you." ”
The lower abdomen was cramping, and the fall was uncomfortable, Su Jiu'er knew this feeling very well, in the previous life, An Zeqing fed her abortion soup, and she felt this way.
Her face was distorted and deformed because of the pain, and tears fell silently, Su Jiu'er laughed as she cried, was it really fate, was she destined to have nothing to do with her first child?
"Mother." Su Jiu'er forced her voice, turned her head to look at Zhao beside her, and grabbed Zhao's hand harder.
"Hey." Zhao looked at Su Jiu'er's expression was a little wrong, and instead held Su Jiu'er's hand, looking anxious.
Su Jiu'er's hands were as cold as snow, Zhao's heart trembled slightly, but she was frightened, she was afraid that Su Jiu'er would have a miscarriage.
"Gu Feng will definitely be fine, you listen to my mother," without waiting for Su Jiu'er to speak, Zhao said softly, "He has been staying in the mountains, and this time he brought so many people, he will definitely be able to kill the Huns who went up the mountain!" ”
"I'm a little sore, and I'm still a little cold." Su Jiu'er's pale lips were slightly open, even though she was wearing two cotton clothes and a quilt, she still felt that it was very cold, and she shivered with the cold.
The child in Su Jiu'er's belly is only three months old, not to mention walking such a long way in the cold winter night, and now staying in such a humid place, his body is a little unbearable.
"Don't sleep, Gu Feng may come back in a while." Zhao put Su Jiu'er's hands in his hands and rubbed them vigorously, and sighed, "It's not cold now, don't sleep, you can't sleep this day." ”
Originally, those people in the cave were drowsy, but when they heard Zhao say this, they cheered up one by one, and a few people stood up directly.
Su Jiu'er originally had the energy to think about Gu Feng and An Zeqing, but now her mind was full of Gu Feng's appearance of holding her covered in blood.
"Wine!"
Zhao's voice brought Su Jiu'er back to his senses, and Su Jiu'er's stiff head turned to Zhao inch by inch.
The cold wind got into her clothes, and Su Jiu'er felt that her body was frozen and numb, and she couldn't even feel the pain in her stomach.
Su Jiu'er looked at Zhao's face, she still had a lot to say to Zhao, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't say anything.
The scenery in front of her became more and more blurry, and Su Jiu'er felt that there seemed to be a warm current flowing out below, and as soon as it was dark in front of her, she didn't know anything.
