Chapter 159: God's Teammates
The Jianghu people in this era are really very down-to-earth, and they don't have the skills that are close to abilities in their previous lives or movies, so it is naturally impossible to know the enemy's information out of thin air.
Chen Ying couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and after thinking about it, she felt that this didn't seem to be a bad thing.
At that moment, the thin figure of the female assassin of the Changqiu Palace seemed to appear in front of her eyes.
Judging from the experience of that time, these charlatans were not invincible, at least she had effectively blocked one of the opponent's attacks.
Thinking like this, Chen Ying took the longbow with his hand and carried it on his back.
The vehicle staggered and continued to drive forward, Chen Ying silently calculated the distance while listening attentively to the movements around him.
The cramped mountain road squeezed the wind extremely thin, as if someone was wailing in the distance, He Sui and Li Xi were so frightened that their faces were pale, and they hugged Ni Shi tightly, almost not daring to breathe.
According to Chen Ying's memory, this line is located between the two cliffs of the Devil's Crying Ridge, and the road is extremely narrow, at most, it can only be used by two horsemen in parallel, with a length of about three or four hundred meters, and it leads directly to the belly of the mountain where the dense forest is born.
She couldn't help but be a little happy.
The Han family mule cart is a relatively narrow shape, and the body of the car is not wide, otherwise they may have to get out of the car and walk, so the speed will be even slower.
Thinking like this, Chen Ying lifted the curtain again and looked out.
The carriage clings to the cliff, and the gushing sound and the sound of the wheels come and go, as if the car is about to fall apart in the next second.
At this time, Chen Ying understood what Ye Qing meant by "leaving three people to catch the car". This really has to be a veteran to catch up with the car, and if you change the ordinary person, you are afraid that you can't go half the way, and the car will be stuck in the middle of the road.
With such a small amount of space, it is very advantageous for one's own side to attack from a distance and fight closely.
Chen Ying thought so and hung the quiver around her waist.
About twenty minutes later, the mule cart finally stopped, and Ye Qing's voice came from outside the car: "Get out of the car." ”
Chen Ying pushed the car door in response, and saw that Ye Qing in front of him had already gotten out of the car and was looking around.
Chen Ying also raised her eyes to look.
It is a naturally formed hollow area with knife-like cliffs on all sides, and many mosses, ferns, and fungi grow on the ground.
Probably due to the lack of sunlight for many years, most of the trees in the open space are short and not too dense. It was still early in the dark, but the light in the forest was already dim, and a slightly damp smell diffused in the wind, and there seemed to be a very faint layer of fog surging around.
Fortunately, this clearing was large enough to be at least half the size of a football field, and in addition, Chen Ying could hear the faint sound of water.
Her heart was relieved.
Water is the source of all life, and as long as there is water, they have one more hope of survival.
"Can't get out, can't get in." Ye Qing's deep voice came from the ground, and there was no emotion in his voice.
The corners of Chen Ying's mouth moved, and the smile on her face was as strange as ever.
This is undoubtedly the most reassuring thing Ye Qing has ever said today.
Although there are still only a few words.
If even Ye Qing thought that it would be difficult for outsiders to break into this place, then those pursuers would not be able to sneak in from elsewhere. That is to say, as long as you hold a line of heaven, the other party has nothing to do.
However, on the other hand, as long as the other party breaks through the first line of heaven, there is nowhere for them to escape.
Take advantage of the topography, and you will be controlled by the topography.
There is never a perfect thing in this world, and Chen Ying is already very satisfied with this "benefit".
Everyone had gotten out of the car at this time, the shadow of the forest tree was reflected on everyone's face, everyone was panicked, Huang hugged his two sons tightly, his face was as white as paper, and Mingxin next to him was also pale, although Ni and Li could barely maintain their composure, but the uneasiness in the depths of their eyes could not be hidden.
In addition to Ye Qing and Ma Laosan, there are only two people in the crowd who can still maintain their composure, one is Chen Ying, and the other is Guo Wan.
The beautiful face of the fourth grandmother Qiu was as usual, and at this moment she had begun to distribute the men in an orderly manner, the servants were either going to the water source to find the way, or to the car to fetch things, or to check the terrain around, two coachmen were also untying the mules from the car, and some people brought fodder.
While arranging all this, Guo Wan also had to comfort her panicked cousin softly from time to time, without the slightest rush between words and deeds, and always calm and constant.
What a god-like teammate!
Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh again.
This fourth grandmother consciously took over most of the trivial tasks, and almost every arrangement she made was necessary, such as confirming the water source, surveying the terrain, food planning, and so on.
Although it was only the second time she had met Guo Wan, Chen Ying had a feeling that she had cooperated with her for a long time and had reached a tacit understanding with her, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Guo Wan here, the burden on her shoulders is much lighter.
When she thought so, Guo Wan had already finished assigning all the manpower, and when she saw Chen Ying and the others standing on the side of the car looking at her, she smiled lightly, walked over, and saluted Ni and Li, and said gently: "Forgive me, two ladies, I trespassed, and I arranged it first." ”
Ni Shi had already been very tired from running all the way, and he could barely hold on, and when he heard this, he smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "Fourth Grandma Qiu Wan Mo said this." Thanks to you, we have convenience. You are always out and about, and it is no more difficult for you to go out than those of us who go out, so now I will listen to your arrangement. ”
She is not an indecisive person, so she immediately turned around and instructed the Li family: "You will also listen to Grandma Qiu Si for a while, and her words are my words." As he spoke, he turned to Guo Wan and said with a forced smile: "I'm tired of you, now I'm not in good spirits, and I can't be busy." ”
Guo Wan didn't shirk it, she responded generously, and turned to Chen Ying again, her bright face was solemn, and she bowed suddenly: "If it weren't for Miss Chen San's decision, I would have fallen into the hands of the enemy at this time, and I would have helped the younger brothers and sisters first." ”
Chen Ying didn't expect her to say this, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, Fang wanted to be humble, but Guo Wan had already stood up straight, and continued: "The three girls are not chaotic in the face of danger, and they take advantage of the terrain to resist the enemy, they are really talented, and they are by no means comparable to women in the house such as me, presumably you have big things to do next." The three girls will go, and as for these drinking water tents, pots and stoves, firewood, and the distribution of servants, they will be left to me to deal with. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Ying, but even Ni and others were shocked.
This Fourth Grandma Qiu is smart and resolute, thoughtful and appropriate, which is already very rare, and what is even more surprising is that in this time of chaos, everyone is running around like flies, only she made the most reasonable arrangements at the first time, and her sober mind is afraid that even men can't compare.
Although Chen Ying has never underestimated the ancients, at this moment, she still feels that Guo Wan has refreshed her cognition of ancient women.
If Guo Wan was born in modern times, she would definitely be able to live a prosperous life and achieve a career.
