I saw more than a dozen men dressed in short clothes appear on the opposite side one after another, one in front of the other and one behind them holding two torches, and they should be at one end and the other when they are in a hurry.

A few people walked around and looked around, and the rest were squatting at the water's edge opposite, untying their water bladders and preparing to fetch water.

They didn't dare to stick their heads out too much, in case the other party had good eyesight, or was more keen, and found them.

After taking a look, he quickly retracted his head, leaving only the ugly ugly who had climbed to the top of the boulder, and Li Hao, who was squatting on the ground at some point.

The three of them crouched on the ground, leaning out, holding a handful of grass in their hands, blocking their heads.

Even if the torches shine over there, you can only see the grass in their hands at a glance.

Qian Yan looked at the grass and was a little speechless.

She said where the grass came from next to the boulder, which they had pulled out when they camped here, for fear that there would be some snakes, insects, rats and ants hidden in the grass.

It turned out to be the ones that were piled up not far away to feed the donkeys, and I don't know when they got them, but it was indeed very hidden when they looked out with grass.

Not to mention that there was a waterhole between them and each other, although this waterhole was not very large, plus the open space from their side to the waterhole, the straight-line distance from the opposite side was almost one hundred and eighty meters.

On a big night, when they are deliberately hiding, it is difficult to see this side clearly.

The gang did not stop here after fetching water, probably because they were afraid that there would be fierce beasts coming to hunt where there was water.

At night, there was no way to see if there were footprints around, so the people left quickly after taking water.

The gang left with the firelight for a while, and they didn't dare to make a move, and the ugly guy went out directly, following behind the gang to see if they really left.

is also afraid that they will kill again, and this side will not be able to react.

Except for Li Hao, the three of them stood up silently, and the others continued to maintain their original movements and did not dare to make a big move.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that the ugly came back, squeaked twice, and then opened his arms and gestured.

Qian Yan pretended to understand Chou's movements, and said to them: "Chouchou said that they have gone far away, and they didn't stop halfway, it seems that they didn't find us." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the old ladies in the back, their bodies were a little paralyzed.

Li Hao said to everyone: "Let's continue to rest, and if we rush tomorrow morning, we should be able to distance ourselves from each other a little, but when we go forward later, we must look ahead first, so as not to run into each other." ”

Tilt Yan also agreed to this proposal, in case the other party also finds a place to rest at night, maybe they can really meet tomorrow.

If there were no Li Hao and the others, even if they ran into each other, there would not be much of a problem, after all, those people didn't look like vicious bandits, nor were they Khitans, and the possibility of indiscriminate killing of villagers was very low.

But now that they have something to pursue, it's hard to say.

If they are treated as a gang, or if they want to kill people, they will definitely not be able to escape.

"They're the bandits you've encountered before?"

When Yang Dashan heard Li Hao say this, he knew that he should have seen what the other party was doing, so he guessed.

"Well, I just saw clearly that the knives in their hands were those mountain bandits I met before." Li Hao couldn't say anything else, so he could only admit that it was indeed the wave of people they met.

Now everyone is even more uneasy, and those who have been working all day and are already very sleepy are a little sleepless.

However, it is definitely not possible not to sleep, Yang Dashan and Li Hao arranged the people who were on duty at night, and asked the rest of them to lie down and rest quickly.

Everyone still has to rest enough, otherwise they will not have the energy to travel tomorrow.

Or the night they slept during the day was divided into two groups, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night.

Those who didn't have to stay at night all went back to their previous straw mats and lay down, but they just put out the fire, and the blankets on the ground were not put away, so that they could continue to sleep.

Yang Dashan smeared to untie the rope on the donkey's mouth.

When the black donkey was untied, he snorted at him to express his displeasure, then opened his mouth and shook his chin from side to side, as if he was relaxing the muscles in his mouth.

Next, they didn't dare to light the fire anymore, anyway, they were used to the current light, and it didn't matter if there was lighting or not.

It's just that the night watchman will work a little harder, and those who are not in the middle of winter are easy to get sleepy, and it is easy to see things clearly, so they must observe the surroundings attentively.

Li Hao and Wang Gan were preparing to keep watch in the middle of the night, and Wang Kun couldn't let his master keep vigil for him to sleep, so he took the initiative to work with Wang Gan and let Li Hao rest.

Qian Yan didn't care about them, didn't say anything and just lay down and fell asleep.

Ugly is not sleepy, let it listen to some movement.

Others don't have the ear power of the two of them, so Qian Yan is ready to go to bed by herself first, and then change to ugly when she wakes up.

She always felt a little unsteady in her heart.

Those people left so easily, always feeling a little unrealistic, tossing and turning with a few old ladies lying on the straw mats.

Seeing her like this, Chou Chou couldn't help but say to her: "You don't have to worry too much, I followed them out for more than two miles before, and I won't come back."

They walked very fast, and they looked like they were in a hurry, probably chasing Li Hao and the others.

They didn't know that we had been practicing salt here for two days, and they would never have thought that we would still stop here.

According to the normal footsteps, Li Hao and the three of them should have walked a long way, so there is a high probability that they will not stop now. ”

Hearing this, Qian Yan's heart relaxed a little, nodded and replied: "Then you should also pay attention, I don't worry about handing over my safety to others, I only worry about you." ”

Ugly Chou's heart was very hot when he heard this, and he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you, since I brought you out, I will definitely bring you back completely, and I won't let you get hurt." ”
