Chapter 40: The Road Is Difficult
When a big country fights a war, a small country can breathe, and the country is in an existential crisis, and people have room to survive. Interlocking, although Feng Luo can't fully understand the mysteries, he finds it very interesting.
If the war between the Huihe Kingdom and the Zhenguo General does not end for a day, the Davao Kingdom will not have any worries about destroying the country. But the crisis persisted, and many wealthy families began to flee to other countries. Feng Luo led people to go at this time, and it was not difficult to find a piece of land to cultivate.
The key challenge is how to break through the siege and reach Davao.
A small squad of soldiers, who died on the battlefield without being considered dead. But there is no big war, it is just the suppression of bandits, and the main task of suppressing bandits has been completed, but a whole team of soldiers has died, and the generals who hope to make new contributions will definitely be targeted.
In the evening, everyone arrived at a small river beach. The river is very small, only two or three zhang wide. Feng Luo told everyone to camp on the river beach and find a good place to sleep.
Then arrange for people to collect firewood and distribute dry food. Before it gets dark, burn a fire and grill something. Evenings are the best time to light fires, as the flames are not too conspicuous and the black smoke is not easily visible.
Feng Luo chewed on the jerky and looked for herbs nearby. Herbs to ward off wind and cold are easy to find. After preparing the herbs, Feng Luo asked the villagers for a broken iron pot and put it on the fire to burn.
"Give him an extra layer of clothing at night, cover his sweat and be fine. Feng Luo asked the girl to feed her brother a decoction and admonished.
The girl stopped talking, and finally lowered her head. Feng Luo looked at it, understood, and took out a set of clothes from the storage. In order to carry out the mission, he prepared several sets of clothes for disguise.
"Thank you. The girl's voice was inaudible.
The sun had sunk completely to the west, and the sky had become dark. Feng Luo told everyone to remove the ashes left over from the fire and spread hay in that place as a sleeping place, which was much warmer.
The fire cannot be lit at night, and the water vapor in the mountains is heavy, which is very difficult for the villagers. Although I replenished dry food, I walked all day, and my hands and feet were so tired that I lay down and fell asleep.
After the villagers fell asleep, Feng Luo quietly got up. This place is only a few dozen miles away from that place in the morning, and it is very simple for the officers and soldiers to really chase after them. What's more, there are wild beasts at night, and someone has to be on duty at night.
Feng Luo took advantage of the evening time to hunt and kill a few small beasts as breakfast the next day. In addition, I found some mushrooms and weeds, which can be boiled in soup and drunk.
In order to allow the villagers to go out smoothly, Fengluo can be described as a painstaking. He sighed to himself, how could he be tied to the villagers for some reason.
The aroma wakes the villagers from their sleep. After many days of fatigue, sleeping is a very attractive thing. More attractive than sleeping, naturally, is eating.
The barbecue is on the fire, and several large skewers of meat are skewered. The golden juice seeped out of the flesh and dripped onto the burning sticks, making a soft "zez" sound.
There were two iron pots on the other fire, and the soup in the iron pot was just boiling. There were mushrooms and wild vegetables in the soup, and Feng Luo caught two small fish from the river, which tasted nothing, just to improve the freshness.
The villagers had never eaten such a delicacy, and they got up and gathered around the fire. It's not just the children who drool, but the old people who also have glowing eyes.
"Don't worry, it's right away, everyone has a share. Don't eat too much, you can't rush if you eat too much breakfast. Feng Luo stirred the hot soup with a knife.
After more than half an hour, the villagers finished eating, so comfortable that they almost lay on the ground to bask in the sun. Feng Luo cruelly called them up and prepared to start the day's journey.
This time, Feng Luo didn't ask everyone to clean up the mess. The traces of the overnight stay are too obvious to be completely concealed, so simply leave them alone.
In fact, Feng Luo didn't expect the army to follow. As long as they want to pursue, the villagers will always find traces of their path, after all, they are not trained. Everything behind the Fengluo Palace, at most, let them find out a little later, delaying time.
Feng Luo asked everyone to walk to the other side of the river, walked for a while, and retreated to the river. The villagers walked downstream through the river, walked for a while and then came ashore. I walked a short distance ashore and returned to the river again.
It was repeated several times, and the villagers were shivering with cold. A few of them were already covered and muttering.
Feng Luo finally didn't let them go back, but when he left, he first shook off the water on his pants. They started yesterday's journey again, towards the border line.
"If you go on, you will soon reach the country of Wo. Feng Luo cheered for everyone, "There is a large area of flat land, throw away a handful of grain in the spring, and you can recover the grain from generation to generation in the autumn!"
When the adults heard this, they gritted their teeth and hurried away. For small children, such words are not attractive. But it doesn't matter, Feng Luo's super strength displayed yesterday made the children worship, and whatever he said, they would do it.
Feng Luo was very helpless in his heart, there were at least two or three hundred miles to the border line. The villagers walked slowly, and it took six or seven days to get there. But there is not enough dry food in the storage box, who has nothing to bring so much dry food.
Thanks to Feng Luo, when he was a child, he was hungry a lot, leaving a shadow, and he would carry enough dry food for him to eat for several months. But all the food that lasted less than five days.
Nowadays there is no other way, take one step at a time. On the one hand, they urged everyone to hurry and reach the border as soon as possible. On the other hand, they hunt on the road to supplement the lack of food.
Among the villagers, no one knows how to hunt. The task of hunting and killing wild beasts naturally fell to Feng Luo. At most, the women were looking for some wild vegetables and collecting some firewood.
They were too weak for Feng Luo to tell them to do anything, including the girl. The girl was no longer hostile to him, but she still resisted. Feng Luo has been busy for two days, and he has lost a lot of weight.
On the night of the third day, Feng Luo felt tired. He appointed a few men to keep watch at night. Tribulations make people strong, and women and children, though weak, look resolute and do not complain because they don't sleep well.
If the officers and soldiers will chase after them, it will be within a day or two. If it's fast, it's possible to arrive tonight. Feng Luo decided to rest first and try to recover his strength.
Around the campsite, Feng Luo found four hidden observation points. He told the observers to pay attention to the details while leaning against the tree to protect their backs.
He is very clever in the position, and the people in each position can see the people in other positions. In this way, you can avoid being attacked without anyone to warn you.
Feng Luo gathered his mind and let the pulse flow throughout his body. Continuous fatigue, physical strength is almost overdrawn. Now lying down to recover, not only is the physical strength and pulse qi faintly increasing, but the pulse qi is also getting stronger.
I was happy in my heart, remembering that when I was a child, the more tired I was, the smoother my cultivation became. Feng Luo accelerates the arterial qi and allows the fatigue to slowly dissipate.
Suddenly, Feng Luo's heart twitched, and he jumped up quickly, probing silently.
