In the valley in the early morning sun, there was a noisy noise from time to time in the chaotic and crowded procession, and these children, who had been woken up in a hurry from their sleep, finally could not restrain themselves after walking beside their parents for a long time, and began to make noise and want to rest.

But the parents who were anxious about the terror invaders behind them, where did they still have time to care about their intentions, so after the simple persuasion failed, the adults began to scold them roughly, and the result of this behavior was that the children who were already making a lot of noise began to cry.

As a result, the distracting cries and curses began to echo in the mountains, and the original poetic and beautiful scenery was gone, leaving only unbearable irritability and depression.

Xia Dong mixed in the middle of this long procession, unhurriedly followed, although the crowd in front of him moved too slowly to make him a little anxious, but at this moment the narrow mountain road was already blocked with fleeing people, if it was not necessary, he did not want to squeeze the road away with personal force.

Looking up at the golden and brilliant mountain next to him because of the large number of trees similar to sycamores, he secretly calculated in his heart that it would take about five or six days to reach the next town at the speed of these people, and he was afraid that there would be many people there who would be affected by them, and the team of families fleeing was estimated to be stronger, and the speed would naturally be slower.

Maybe I should find a chance to go first, otherwise God knows when I will be able to arrive at the capital of the principality, I originally just planned to follow them to take care of a little bit, but now it seems that there is no danger, and I shouldn't be asked to go first......

Kindness?

Xia Dong's movements suddenly paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark shadow that had just flashed in the mountains in the distance aroused his alertness.

What is that? Is it human? Is it a hunter walking in the mountains, or is it?

After observing for a while, he didn't find anything abnormal, but a faint force suddenly came from his feet, and Xia Dong immediately lowered his head in surprise.

It turned out to be a cute little girl with long flaxen hair who was tugging at her linen robe, and when she saw her gaze, the other party's innocent eyes seemed to be slightly alarmed, "Sir, aren't you leaving?" ”

Turning around, he saw a cart full of various items behind him, Xia Dong realized that his behavior was blocking the road, and the family with a large pile of belongings could not bypass themselves from the uneven stone piles on both sides.

Smiling and apologizing, Xia Dong took two steps back and stood on a big rock next to the path, ready to let the other party go first, but he didn't expect the little girl to follow along, "My name is Jesse, what about you, sir?" ”

Surprised by the girl's inexplicable intimate attitude, Xia Dong suddenly didn't know how to deal with it, and his whole body stiffened for a moment, and then he squatted down and looked at the other party, "My name is Chardon, Jesse, don't you follow your mother?" ”

Following his finger, Jesse smiled sweetly at his mother, and then said, "Mr. Chardon, mother said we were going to Tanskal, how about you?" ”

couldn't help but scratch his head, Xia Dong, who didn't expect to have a child's relationship unexpectedly, raised his chin, "Eh, I'll go to Albert." ”

Looking at the girl carefully, a little dust can't hide the white and red complexion, the clothes on her body are not exquisite, but they also fit very well, it can be seen that her family background should be good, but the most important thing is the big black eyes on her little face, which makes Xia Dong feel very kind.

Slowly stretched out his hands, Xia Dong, who didn't find any resistance from the other party, picked up the girl, and quickly caught up with a couple who had stopped waiting in front of them, their ages were about thirty, the male Si Swenwen was very calm, and the female facial features could still see the beautiful appearance before, but the round and fat body was already two years old for his husband, and the main force driving the cart at this time was obviously this woman.

"Sir, I'm really bothering you, Jesse is so naughty, leave her to me." Seeing Xia Dong approaching, the man hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the girl.

Although he felt a little resistance from the girl, Xia Dong still handed her to the man, after all, this is someone's daughter, and she is a stranger who is not related to her, so don't let the family have any misunderstanding.

However, looking at the reluctance in the girl's eyes, he still decided to accompany her for a while, stretched out his hand, and held on to the wooden cart, the fat woman next to him who was panting and pushing immediately felt a loosening of her hand, and her eyes stayed on the two-wheeled cart moving smoothly for a moment, and she immediately said gratefully: "Sir, thank you so much, I am Maggie, this is my husband William." ”

After a brief introduction, the two of them chatted casually, and with Xia Dong's help, the originally difficult journey became extremely easy, and Maggie was very talkative.

Her husband was originally the clerk of the town of Morris, who sorted out and recorded the paperwork for the mayor, and after hearing the bad news of Mossock, Maggie immediately decided to move the family back to his hometown.

Originally, with their family's financial resources, they could hire a carriage or buy a livestock, but unfortunately, because the news spread too quickly, by the time she thought about it, she was already a step too late, and she could only barely get one of these carts, and the original two servants in the family decided to leave with their families, so the couple who had to go into battle in person were very embarrassed.

“…… Why did those Calestrians suddenly come over? Didn't the Fairmonts claim to be the city where their distant fortress was to fall? Maggie, who had a loud voice, was complaining angrily, not just her, but most of the people here were thinking the same thing.

William, who was quietly holding his daughter, suddenly interjected: "I can't blame them all, I think the Calestians this time should have been planning for a long time, but I am afraid that the third holy war will start again......"

"Don't blame them? If you look at the way we look now, I should have been sitting in the yard eating delicious snacks at this time, but now? Where am I? I'm on the run! How dare you say you don't blame them? ......" Maggie's voice rose again, and a drooling question crackled at her husband.

Xia Dong, who was next to him, suddenly pushed the wooden cart forward a few steps without a trace, so as not to be affected, and at the same time expressed his deepest sympathy and condolences to William, who could not open his mouth.

Sure enough, a virtuous wife and a husband are in trouble, and a woman is ruining her life!

Turning his eyes away, looking at the steep and undulating mountain walls on both sides, Xia Dong suddenly sighed a little, the environment here is really dangerous, he can't help but think of the most common ambush scene in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, usually, there are enemy troops hidden on the slopes on both sides, just wait for the target to completely enter the valley, and then one before and after, you can close the door and fight the dog, just shoot arrows, set fires, or smash stones, anyway, the following will definitely die!

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration seemed to flash in his mind, and he turned his head to look at the entire team back and forth.

No way!
