Chapter 558: Mutual Assistance
Fortunately, the young man was not beaten in the head or confused, and he did not make a mistake at every step.
After everyone passed through thousands of intersecting tunnels, the road in front of them suddenly became wider.
It's still underground, but now it's more like it's in a cave?? - There is only one 'Yangguan Avenue' in front of a few people - not the same as before.
As the young man continued to speed up his pace, Chen Yin and the others who followed behind him could already vaguely see the faint light not far ahead.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Yin and the three of them have never been so eager to see the boundless starry sky as they are now.
They crawled out of the hole the width of their two men on their fore heels and back to the ground.
Small rocks and bush branches were piled up outside the entrance of the cave, and it seemed that the young man did not want anyone else to know about it.
"Well, go six or seven miles southeast to Rongcheng," said the young man, seeing that they had all come up, "but you can't follow me any more, I'll go first, and then you can go after half a pillar of incense...... Because you are outsiders here, if you are discovered by those rebels, you will definitely not end well, and there will be ......"
"You'd better follow us," Chen Yin interrupted him suddenly, and then walked straight in front of him, "Hurry up, go from this side." ”
As soon as Chen Yin's words fell, more than a dozen people jumped out from behind the surrounding bushes, trees, and stones, holding torches in their hands, and came towards them.
Seeing this, the young man didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly followed behind Chen Yin and the three of them.
The four of them carefully walked out of the encirclement, and it can be said that they dodged almost perfectly.
"No! I obviously heard the movement," the man who spoke looked like the leader of the group, "those two guys were sneaking around earlier, I knew there must be a cat, damn, I knew I had followed the two of them into the cave at that time!"
The young man trembled behind Chen Yin, and he heard the voice that had just spoken: "Suffer, these people are the rebels who occupied Rongcheng......"
"Put out the fire, maybe I heard it wrong, wait a minute, I don't believe they won't come back tonight," the leader waved his hand, and the torches dimmed one after another.
There was no danger, and the four of them easily escaped from the encirclement of those people.
The young man was now anxious and angry: "It's over! They have already found out! Concealing secret ways and fornicating with foreign enemies...... Any one of them is enough to kill my whole family......"
"No one saw you with us," said Yingli, "and besides, they weren't necessarily sure you were in the hole." ”
"Listen to that man's voice, it should be the captain of our team...... Ay...... Forget it, I can only hope that he didn't see it clearly...... it's me," the young man hesitated, and then continued, "That...... Since Brother Tai is so powerful...... Can you take me back to Rongcheng?"
Hearing him say this, Yingli suddenly smiled: "Just now they all said that they were afraid that we would affect you and go their separate ways, why did you say that you would follow us all the way after a while?"
"Since you are so powerful, I think you will be able to avoid the rebels all the way," said the young man, "my home is on the outskirts of Rongcheng, and if you help me return home safely, I can help you too." ”
"What are you helping us with?" Chanyu asked.
"Didn't you want to go into the city, originally I wanted to go out today to find a few buyers to collect the surplus grain that my family had hidden, but as far as the current situation is concerned, I don't want to take the surplus grain out, so tomorrow I can bring you into Rongcheng by supplying grain and grass to the rebel leaders. ”
Chanyu and Yingli looked at Chen Yin, who was noncommittal about the young man's suggestion.
"The garrison of Banyan City is very strict at night, no matter how powerful you are, don't think about entering safely without being discovered," the young man saw that they did not reply, and further said, "At present, the inns and inns in the suburbs are closed, you can stay at my house for the night." ”
Although the young man was lucky, he was still very afraid, and he was afraid that their captain would bring someone to his house to ask for his guilt.
If that is the case, these three people will at least be able to delay him for some time, and he will have more opportunities to escape with his family.
Chen Yin and the others had somewhat guessed this person's purpose, but just looking at the advice made by this person, it was true that it was beneficial to them.
"Yes, you can, but tomorrow you have to promise to bring us into Banyan City. ”
"As long as you can survive tonight in peace, tomorrow will surely be able to take you into the city. ”
This person's house is located next to the outer city wall of Banyan City.
There are five or six houses, and the fields are not small, so the life of a family of three should be good.
They went straight into the backyard.
The man arranged Chen Yin and the three of them into the hut in the corner where the other party's miscellaneous items were located.
"Don't be surprised, this is already the cleanest room, there are just three beds, and the quilt can be removed from the upper compartment. ”
When the man returned home, he was in good spirits and felt that the injuries on his body did not seem to hurt anymore.
Xu was woken up by the noise, and the lights in the other room came on, and the cry of a child could be heard.
"Don't cry, don't cry, woo," a shrill woman's voice rang out, "Zhao Zi, are you back?"
"Eh, I'll come in at once," the man replied, turning to Chen Yin and the others, "You three will be here for the night, but don't go out and let people find out—not even my mother-in-law." ”
Yingli sounded a little angry, as if the other party was helping them without asking for anything in return.
"Got it," fortunately, Chen Yin felt that it didn't matter, nodded and let the other party leave with peace of mind, "Please remember tomorrow's appointment." ”
