Do these people deserve to die?

The Daomen have the practices of the Daomen, and the Demon Sect has the means of the Demon Sect, which is the reason why the Quanzhen Sect is called the Demon, and they lack tolerance.

These people, of course, can't invite the monks of the Quanzhen Sect to protect them, they are now stinking dung, and no one wants to touch them; And those casual cultivators are those who refuse to act without interest.

The real objects in the homes of the families of these prisoners have been confiscated to fill the holes they left behind, and only some yellow and white things are allowed to be taken away.

Li Duwei's move may be because he can't bear it, or it may be to teach him a lesson in acting impulsively, or both; So he was given such a suitable task at the right time, knowing that he would definitely bump into this group of people here.

These people didn't know him, but he couldn't pretend that these people had nothing to do with him.

There are a total of twenty-three people, the key is that there are not many strong men, they are all women, children and old people, how to go in the poplar forest? The average width of the aspen forest is tens of miles, and with its poor ground condition, without those ferocious monsters, these people may not be able to go out in a day, and the night will greatly increase the frequency of the activities of the creatures in the forest......

Seeing that Hou Yu was still frowning, the old man said tentatively: "Shangxiu, we have been delayed here for more than ten days, lack of food and water, and the most important thing is that everyone's mental state is very bad, there are several old people and children who are sick, we, I'm afraid we can't wait too long......

Besides, we've already found a monk before you who promised to help, wouldn't it be more certain if there were two monks to guard us? ”

Finally, take courage, "We know that the aspen forest is dangerous, but we have no second way other than that, and for that, we are prepared to pay the price." ”

Hou Yu looked up, next to the puddle not far from the bottom of the hillside, a figure was leading the horse to drink, he had already noticed this person, but he didn't expect that there were really monks willing to wade into this troubled water.

"You wait for ......"

Hou Yu rode his horse towards the puddle, and the figure heard the movement, stood up vigilantly, and his hand had already touched the bow and quiver on the horse's back.

More than ten zhang away, Hou Yu jumped off the horse and raised his hands high.

"This brother, I have no ill intentions, and I also want to help these people, but I think if we really want to take them through this Baiyang Forest, we may have to discuss?"

When the distance was closer, Hou Yu found that it was a very young face, less than twenty years old, and his face was full of traces left by wind and frost; Judging by his outfit as a local hunter in the vicinity, he wondered if the actual age of this man could be more than sixteen years old, given the empirical theory that these locals generally looked old due to the pressures of life.

Only a young and energetic young man like him has the courage to draw a sword to help. The problem is that it is only the Qi Induction Realm, and it may not be as good as him.

"Of course they can't get by! Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited here stupidly...... I'm afraid there won't be a few left, and the old and weak will have to die inside, but I'm ......"

Hou Yu smiled, this is the mental journey of a cucumber flute, I don't know how I was pinched by the old man with a sad card, and then I found that I couldn't fulfill my promise, and I didn't do it, it would create a greater evil; It's not like to go, you can't be ruthless, you can only wait here stupidly, and you don't know what you're waiting for?

Hou Yu walked over, "You should be familiar with this place, right?" If I'm right, you can't spend the night in the aspen forest, is that right? ”

The boy relaxed a little, it was easier for him to trust others at his age, and of course, he also had his own beastly instincts for strangers, and he felt that this man was good, but his eyes were sharp but clear...... For a hunter like him, the most important thing to observe wild beasts is to look at their eyes, and many things will be discovered.

"Can't stay overnight! The night is the world of those monsters, and it will be ten times more dangerous than the day! But they're too weak to run even on horseback......"

Hou Yu shook her head, "We don't have that many horses for them to ride, and they are all horses pulling carts, which are useless.

So, you have to pass in one day, not overnight, and if it were your locals who passed through here, what would they do? ”

The environment is harsh, look for the natives! Locals naturally have the most practical experience left over from their ancestors in adapting to the harsh environment, and Hou Yu doesn't understand, but he knows who to ask.

The boy scratched his head, "There is a method, it is a kind of sledding, there are no wheels, the wide pry board can glide on the rotten leaves, and it is pulled by forest deer, their hooves are larger than horses, and it is not easy to sink in; If we locals have to walk through this poplar forest, we must use deer prying!

However, the deer pry is a treasure of the locals, and they will not agree to lend it to outsiders. ”

Hou Yu understood, it was good to have a way, "Can you help find the deer pry?" The cost is negotiable. ”

The young man lowered his head embarrassedly, "I rarely go back to the village, and I don't have a good relationship with them, they say that I am a disaster star, and I will bring disaster to the village......"

It's another tragicomedy of the world because of blindness, Hou Yu sighed,

"Okay, then I'll go! Tell me which village to go to where I can borrow the best deer sleigh? How many do you want to borrow? ”

The young man hesitated a little, he knew that his villagers were stubborn and unreasonable, and they were not people who could be persuaded with great truths. But when these words came to my mouth, I didn't know why, I swallowed them back.

It's better to be a way than to be stupid and wait for nothing; After waiting here for ten days, I waited for such a cultivator to help, who else could I wait for? I'm afraid that these people will starve to death.

"Straight northwest, an hour down the road there is a village of Gubei, the largest village near the border, and they have enough deer pry and drivers; A deer pry can't fit a few people, we need at least five deer slaps here, pass quickly, and if there are no monsters blocking it, you can rush over in two hours! ”

Hou Yu turned over and got on his horse, "Wait for my news here!" ”

The young man watched in a daze as this man beat his horse and whipped away, but he didn't have much hope in his heart; Because no one knows his own villagers better than him, the vigilance and distrust of the outside world that have been cultivated because of the long-term isolation cannot be erased in a few words.

He has been waiting here for several days, whether to go or not, not to go, in a dilemma; I can't help but regret why I had to pass through here in the first place and provoke such a burden for no reason.

The point is, beyond his capabilities!

This poplar forest is rarely passed through here, because the forest is as deep as forty miles, but it is the closest route to Anhe; Generally, caravans will choose to take a slight detour, passing through the narrower poplar forest under the guidance of a guide.

This group of people who look like big families don't understand this, so they are trapped here; They can't find a narrower path, not to mention running around, who would be willing to drag such a large group of ordinary caravans on the road? Isn't that looking for death?
