Chapter XII. Escape

Behind him was the cries of women and children.

Wu Qing couldn't care so much, and drove the ox cart out of the country in one go.

The Li family watched Zhang and his children flee in an ox cart, and her heart was itching with hatred.

"I didn't expect this cow to run so fast! It's no slower than a horse! Su Yan felt that this gourd water was really not fed in vain. She could see that the bandits had been knocked away by the oxen.

The bandits did not follow, and Wu Qing and his party finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our cow is thanks to Sister Yan'er's good feeding, I just saw that other people's ox carts can't run at all!" Wu Jinlan now feels that what Su Yan did was right.

"Shall we wait for the people in the back?" It is not safe for the two of them to travel in a hurry, Su Yan asked Wu Qing.

Roche was still a little afraid, "What if the bandits behind catch up?" ”

Wu Qing looked back, and the people who ran out behind them couldn't see anyone yet.

"Wait and see! If we see a stranger, we run. Wu Qing said, got out of the ox cart, and fed the cattle some water.

Su Yan and the others ate two mouthfuls of dry food in the car.

After a quarter of an hour, no one caught up, "Let's go!" Wu Qing climbed into the ox cart.

The ox cart led the men on a journey for the afternoon, and before the sun was about to set, they came to the foot of a mountain.

Wu Qing drove the ox cart to find a place to stay. With a large tree at its back, a mountain forest behind it, and a few boulders in front of it, the place is very hidden.

Su Yan still found grass to feed the cow, but today it is thanks to this cow!

Wu Qing's father and son entered the mountain.

Luo's mother and daughter collected firewood, and Zhang's packed up their things and prepared to make a fire for cooking.

Everyone is busy.

This mountain is deserted, and there is no road around, Su Yan is holding a stick in her hand and walking in the grass while beating, for fear of encountering snakes.

The forest was a little dark, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, there were a few trees with chestnuts hanging on them, and the ground was covered with fur balls.

It's wild chestnuts! Su Yan ran out of the forest in surprise.

"Lan'er, mother! Come here with your bags! I've found something to eat! ”

Su Yan shouted, and several other people immediately ran over.

"Yikes! We're in luck! Pick up some more! Roche's face was full of surprise and he took the lead in picking up chestnuts.

The three of them picked up for a long time, and after Wu Qing's father and son came back, they also helped pick up a lot of chestnuts.

When it gets dark, the porridge is also cooked, a pot of chestnut porridge, and a pot of roasted pheasant.

They hadn't eaten porridge since they had been on their way.

Naturally, it's because of the lack of water. When Wu Qing's father and son were hunting just now, they found a mountain spring, and the two of them ran two more times, and they came back with a lot of water.

Chestnut porridge is fragrant and soft and glutinous, the chicken is delicious and tender, and a group of people eat a mouthful of oil.

"We're going to rest here tomorrow for a day, there's water and food, let's pick up more chestnuts and take them to eat on the road."

Wu Qing nodded. "Okay, then we'll stop for a day tomorrow."

After eating, Su Yan and the others did not sleep immediately.

The moon was round tonight, and the moonlight was shining on the canopy, and the people under the trees were shrouded in shadows.

"Uncle Wu, Brother Jinsheng, you can sleep first! Let's peel the chestnuts for a while. Su Yan raised the knife and fell, and a chestnut ball was split.

Wu Jinlan, Luo and Zhang are all peeling chestnuts.

"Yes! Hurry up and go to sleep! Later, I will have your father and son keep vigil, and we will peel these off. "Luo is naturally interested in Wu Qing's father and son.

Wu Qing's father and son also knew the priorities, they looked around, returned to the tree and fell asleep together.

Su Yan and the others didn't speak for a while, just buried themselves in peeling chestnuts, striving to pick up more chestnuts tomorrow.

Several people were busy until late to finish peeling the chestnuts, and the fire in front of them had no firewood and was almost extinguished.

Now that it is autumn, it is a little cold at night, so Zhang added some firewood.

Luo was about to get up and call Wu Qing and his son.

Suddenly, there was the sound of galloping horses' hooves outside the boulder. Several people were taken aback. Roche was half-squatting and did not dare to move.

"Aunt Luo, you tap over and wake up Uncle Wu. I'll take a look. ”

The sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the boulder, and after a while, the sound of fighting could be heard outside.

Roche nodded, and pulled his daughter gently to the bottom of the big tree.

"Yan'er, otherwise, don't go, let's go hide for a while!" Zhang was not at ease.

"Mother, I'll take a look behind the stones, in case something happens, we can run."

Su Yan was afraid that the group of bandits would catch up.

Zhang had no choice but to take Su Yuan to gently walk behind the big tree and hide.

Su Yan didn't dare to get too close, she hid behind the stones.

After a while, Wu Qing's father and son touched it.

Several people waited for a while before the sound of fighting outside stopped.

They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that they are safe.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Several people glanced at each other, and Su Yan only felt that her heart was pounding.

Wu Qing's father and son held the knife in their hands tightly.

A black figure slowly walked in from outside the boulder.

"Bang!" Suddenly, the figure fell directly to the ground.

Su Yan and the others were startled. At this point, there was no sound at all.

Wu Qing, father and son, walked over cautiously and turned the person over. The two were taken aback.

"Yan'er, come and see!"

Su Yan immediately walked over.

The moonlight sprinkled on the man's face, and Su Yan could see it clearly.

"Pei Jing!" She couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

And Pei Jing, who was lying on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, and he obviously fainted.

"He's hurt! Uncle Wu, let's bring him in. Su Yan was nervous.

Wu Qing's father and son immediately carried the person inside.

By the moonlight, Su Yan ripped off Pei Jing's blood-soaked clothes. I saw a deep knife wound in the abdomen, and it was dripping with blood.

"This wound is too deep, I'm afraid this bleeding can't be stopped." Wu Qing shook his head.

Su Yan didn't care so much, ran to the salute behind the tree, and found the water bladder containing the gourd water.

Then he took out a clean cotton cloth from the gourd, and the man soon came behind the boulder.

The water was poured directly on the wound on Pei Jing's body to be cleaned, and the bleeding quickly stopped, and she wrapped the wound with a cotton cloth and tied it tightly.

poured a few more mouthfuls of water on Pei Jing.

Several members of the Zhang family ran over, all looking at Pei Jing with worried expressions.

"There are a lot of dead people out there!" Wu Jinsheng ran in from outside.

"We can't stay here any longer, let's pack up our things and get out of here." Wu Qing immediately went to set up a car.

Zhang's Roche immediately packed up his things.

Wu Qing pulled the ox cart, and the father and son carried Pei Jing into the cart.

The group did not dare to stop, and rushed to the road for most of the night.

After they had been walking for more than an hour, a group of people came to the outside of the big rock, inspected the inside and outside of the big stone, and finally took the corpses outside.

Everyone didn't sleep all night, and after walking for most of the night, Su Yan and the others had very bad faces. Seeing that it was dawn, Wu Qing turned the ox cart into a small road, found a hidden place and stopped.

"Let's take a break!" Wu Qing jumped out of the ox cart.

Su Yan hurriedly went to check Pei Jing's injuries. The cloth that bandaged the wound was not soaked with blood, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

took out the water bladder and opened Pei Jing's mouth to feed him water.

At this time, Pei Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and he recognized the person in front of him at a glance, he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect her to save himself.

Su Yan was stunned with the water bladder, "I'll feed you some water." The hand immediately let go.

"Well, thank you!" Pei Jing's head moved, looking around, he raised his head and took the water bladder and drank two sips of water, only to feel that the water was extremely sweet, and after drinking, the whole person was also energetic.

"You saved me?"

"Well, how are you feeling?" Su Yan looked worried.

Su Yuan, who was still on the ox cart, looked over, "Mother, Uncle Wu, that person is awake!" ”

Everyone immediately gathered around.

"It's okay!" Zhang is thankful.

"Gollum Gurgle...", I don't know whose stomach sang the empty city plan.

"Mother, I'm hungry, let's get some food!" Wu Jinsheng rubbed his stomach.

"Hey!" Roche took the pot off the ox cart.

"Mother, then I'll go pick up some firewood." Wu Jinlan ran to the side and picked up some dead branches.

Zhang and his son also helped cook.

Wu Qing's father and son entered the mountain again.

Leave Su Yan to take care of the injured.

"How are you feeling?" Su Yan helped Pei Jing sit up.

"Thank you Miss Su for your concern, it's no big deal." Pei Jing's face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.

But he didn't feel any discomfort in the wound, and reached out and touched the wound that had been bandaged, and didn't feel a dull pain until he pressed his hand. There was something strange in him.
