As a result, the speed of the crowd has been reduced a lot.

Considering that the baby will cry at any time, even if the mountain road is difficult, Zhang Xiaochi has to take everyone deep into the mountain and deliberately stay away from the road, so that even if the baby cries suddenly, it will not attract the attention of the enemy.

I have to say that Zhang Xiaochi's decision was correct, and when everyone was walking away from the road and struggling in the mountains, one of the sleeping babies suddenly cried.

The sudden sound startled the villagers who were cautious and highly nervous.

"Ergouzi, take care of your child, don't let him cry!"

"The child is probably hungry, give him something to eat."

Zhang Xiaochi reminded.

As soon as these words came out, the rough face of the second dog's daughter-in-law turned slightly red, and her expression was quite embarrassed.

"No one is allowed to look at it."

Zhang Xiaochi naturally knew what the other party meant, women in the feudal era were more traditional and shy, and they really couldn't do it in front of a group of outsiders.

In order not to cry the child, everyone hurriedly turned their backs to the two dogs and his wife, and after a while, the cry of the baby in the back disappeared.

"Xiaochi, it's getting dark, shouldn't we hurry up?"

"Or you won't be able to make it to Qingwa Town before dark."

Someone reminded with a solemn look.

Zhang Xiaochi looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set.

At night, the mountains are very dangerous, and all kinds of animals, especially carnivores, are intimidating at night.

"Brother Ergou, is it okay for you to walk while nursing your child?"

Zhang Xiaochi didn't look back and asked in a gentle tone.

"Yes."

"Okay, let's move on."

Zhang Xiaochi knew that even if everyone was in a hurry, they would still not be able to reach Qingwa Town before dark, and what they had to do now was to find a safer place to settle down before dark.

Next, the group continued on their way, but soon there were old people who could not walk.

They would have needed crutches to walk, let alone stand on such a hill to advance.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochi arranged for a young and strong young man to carry the old man, and these young people were not easy to refuse because of Zhang Xiaochi's face, but Zhang Xiaochi saw the situation at a glance.

"There are ten elderly people in our village who have difficulty moving, you are willing to carry the old man to Qingwa Town, and I am willing to give five taels of silver alone."

At this moment, those dissatisfied young people suddenly burst into flames, scrambling to grab places, and even some middle-aged uncles applied for places with him.

However, the number of places is limited, Zhang Xiaochi arranged ten young and strong young men to take care of the elderly, and as for the others, he can't take care of them one by one.

Tempted by money, everyone moved forward a lot faster, and eventually, they found a suitable place to rest before dark.

"Let's rest first, and then we'll continue to set off when it's a little late."

The moonlight was good tonight, and the villagers' visual range was about two meters, and Zhang Xiaochi's visibility was even better, so he decided to take everyone on the road overnight.

Everyone simply ate some dry food and asked everyone not to walk around in the same place, Zhang Xiaochi chose a young man to follow him to inquire about the situation.

The two of them walked in the dark for about half an hour, and finally came to the side of the road to Qingwa Town.

"Xiaochi, these Jin Guo miscellaneous are really treacherous, there are even guards on the road."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on the mountains and forests not far away, and he could see a little fire moving in the mountains and forests, these should be the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom patrolling the mountains.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochi was glad that he had taken the villagers away from the road.

"Come with me."

After inquiring about the situation, the two went back to meet the villagers.

"Xiaochi, what's the situation?"

Zhang Xiaochi told the news he had found one by one, and after he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly depressed a lot.

"Rest early, let's go later."

Zhang Xiaochi reminded, and then found a place with a better view and sat down.

At night, the mountains are not quiet at all, and the sounds of wild beasts are constantly heard in the distance and near away, coupled with the chirping of insects, these sounds are mixed together, like a symphony of nature.

Although it is autumn now, there are still many mosquitoes in the mountains at night, so in order to avoid being bitten, Zhang Xiaochi has to walk back and forth.

Just when he was thinking about how to enter Qingwa Town safely, there was a sudden movement on the left, and he reacted quickly and was about to rush up to do it, but soon found out that the person who came was actually Ajuan's father.

"Why are you here?"

For this family, Zhang Xiaochi has been able to deal with it calmly, not to mention that Ajuan's family has suffered great changes, and there is no need to continue to hate them.

"Xiaochi, I'...... I'm here to apologize and thank you. ”

"You're welcome."

Zhang Xiaochi replied calmly.

Under the moonlight, Ajuan's father's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Go back and rest."

Although Zhang Xiaochi said that he let go of his previous grievances, he still had nothing to say to him, it was okay to stay alone, he stood here and didn't speak, which was really a little unaccustomed.

"Okay, you...... Thank you! ”

Ajuan's father sighed, then turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, someone's coming!"

Zhang Xiaochi suddenly lowered his voice to remind.

"You go back and tell everyone to keep quiet, I'll deal with them."

"Good, good!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaochi's order, Ajuan's father hurriedly tiptoed away.

Zhang Xiaochi looked sharply not far away, in the mountains and forests, there were many fires moving towards this side, his eyes were getting cold, this area was a place for the villagers to rest, and naturally no one else could get close.

He took the dagger from his waist and held it in his hand, and took the initiative to set off in the direction of the firelight.

In the mountains and forests, Zhang Xiaochi was like a fierce beast that melted into the night, he was extremely fast, and after a few minutes, he came to the vicinity of the firelight, and it was confirmed that these people were indeed the patrols of the Jin Kingdom.

Although it was confirmed, Zhang Xiaochi did not act rashly, as long as these people did not go to the place where the villagers rested, he would not do it.

And once you do it, you have to take everyone to move the position, so you won't do it unless you have to.

"The captain is really, he actually let us patrol this kind of deep mountain and old forest!"

"It is said to prevent the Diao people of the Great Yue Kingdom from leaving, but the mountain is so big, even if we send out all 100,000 people, we can't patrol it!"

"You're embarrassed to say that it's your kid who offended the captain, otherwise we wouldn't have come here with you to suffer!"

"Brothers, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault."

"Okay, okay, it's coming, don't complain!"

"I said, brothers, do you really want to patrol this area?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I mean, since it's just a few of us here, as long as we don't say it, the captain doesn't know if we're patrolling!"

"Good idea, quickly find a place to rest, and go back when the time is almost up."

……

Secretly, after Zhang Xiaochi heard the conversation of the patrol team, he decided not to do it, the patrol team wanted to be lazy, just to make the villagers a little easier.
