Unexpectedly, Jiang Laohan hadn't gone over yet, and someone had already gone to pick up Mrs. Wen's master and servant.

Sakura did not stop, and under the light of the torch, he quickly walked to the depths of the mountain forest with Yoyo.

She needs to find the cave described in the book as soon as possible, so that everyone can settle down and make her own plans.

Chunniang carried Jiang Jie on her back, Jiang Cheng carried Jiang Wu on her back, Yan Ru followed closely with Huzi Yuanbao, and Wei Zhan and Dani Erni did not let it go.

Jiang Laohan and his wife Jiang Liu led the mule and did not fall.

Jiang Quan held a torch in front of him to light the little cousin.

Xiao Zhenniang and her daughter Grandma followed the Jiang family hand in hand, and their horses carried heavy objects such as food and bedding, and Wen Fu led them away, but they were not slow.

Dozens of old and weak women and children were noisy and no one complained, and all of them silently followed the team.

Of course, except for the third lady of Wen, the Lin family, and her daughter Wen Tian.

"Mother, I can't walk." Wen Tian cried and said with a sad face: "The shoes always fall off." ”

"If you can't walk, you have to go!" Lin couldn't see the front clearly because of the rain, and he was extremely irritable, although he felt sorry for his daughter, he had to follow in the footsteps of everyone.

Wen Tian finally cried, squatting on the ground and refusing to move: "Woo woo woo...... Mother, I really can't walk. ”

Lin couldn't, so he had to stop the servant: "Ah Qiu, you carry her." ”

Ah Qiu is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and it is really difficult to walk at night with the eight-year-old Wen Tian on his back.

Coupled with the misty autumn rain, the Lin mother and daughter soon lagged behind everyone a lot.

The Lin family was anxious, urging the servant girl who supported Wen Jiao and Ah Qiu, who was carrying the warm sweetness, to hurry up, and she herself shouted Xiao Zhenniang in front of her, "Fourth brother and sister!" Wait, don't go so fast, wait for us..."

At this time, where is Xiao Zhenniang willing to pay attention to her.

The Lin family has three servants who can't go fast to help, and waiting for her is waiting for death.

Hurry up, Sakura Bao was the first to find the cave mentioned in the book, but the plank road up the mountain is narrow, and it is a little difficult to climb it.

In addition, it is slippery in rainy weather, and you can fall off the cliff if you are not careful.

That's right, that cave is halfway up the mountain, it's a natural cave, as long as you enter the top, and then find someone to guard the mountain road, no one wants to climb it.

"Mother, you and your brother should be careful." Ying Bao instructed A-Niang, "I'll go up and have a look first." ”

She is small and flexible, and she often exercises herself, so it is not difficult to walk this kind of mountain path.

Ying Bao took the torch in Jiang Quan's hand and walked directly onto the plank road, but the Jiang family didn't react for a while.

Wei Zhan liked this kind of adventure the most, and followed Sakura Bao on the plank path in three steps and two steps.

Yo You couldn't see the little master, so she was so anxious that she turned around in circles, and tried to keep up several times without success, it carried a lot of things on its back, and it was squeezed down as soon as it rubbed against the mountain wall.

In the end, Yo You could only be with the mule and the horse, watching everyone climb the narrow plank road one by one.

Wen Fu did not go up, he stayed behind to take care of the horses, mules, and deer, all of which carried a large family's rations and bedding on their backs, and must not lose a single thing.

If there is no food, even if it is safe above, they will not be able to last a few days, so he must guard, wait for the old and weak, women and children to go up, and then let Jiang Quan and Jiang Cheng come down and transport the things up in batches.

After walking along the plank road for a long time, Sakura Bao took the lead in climbing the entrance of the cave, only to see that the black rumbling inside was very scary.

Fortunately, Wei Zhan and Jiang Quan followed, shone the torch in their hands inside, and said, "Let's go in first and take a look." ”

Sakura saw that someone was accompanied, and he also dared to go inside.

The cave here is very wide, more than seven zhang in length and width, the entrance of the cave is open, and wind and rain blow in from time to time.

But the cave is not deep, only about four or five zhang, if you squeeze it, it is not a problem to accommodate one or two hundred people.

The ground was flat, as if it had been hewn out, and there were still a few piles of burned ash in the corners, which looked like people had once lived here.

At this time, people came in with torches one after another, illuminating the cave illuminated.

Jiang Laohan, his wife and others also came up, looked around and sighed from time to time: "I haven't been here for many years, it's still the same." ”

"This place is really good, a good place to evacuate." Patriarch Chen sat on a stone with the support of Da'er, and said to Jiang Laohan, "How do you know that there is a cave here? ”

Jiang Laohan: "I often came here when I was young, and this place is called Tiger's Mouth." "Decades have passed, and I didn't even think about it before until I saw the plank road.

He wondered how his little granddaughter knew that there was a cave here?

After thinking about it, yesterday these children were looking for firewood in the mountains and forests, and they must have walked far away and accidentally discovered this hole.

The refugees came up one after another, and some people went around the cave, found two gray snakes, and cut them in two with a sickle, picking out the outside of the hole.

Chunniang also came up with her son, found a clean place to put down the package and basket, and asked her daughter: "Bao'er, is it really safe here?" ”

Ying Bao nodded: "It's safe for the time being, go back and let the patriarch find two people to guard the plank road entrance, and no one can come up." ”

In that book, it was said that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan had been guarding the crossing until the imperial court team entered the mountains to suppress bandits.

"Is there really a bandit surrounding the mountain?" Someone couldn't help but ask: "We didn't meet anything along the way." ”

I don't sleep at night, I run in the wind and rain for so long, if I make an oolong, it will be a joke.

Sakura didn't pay attention to this person, and was busy helping A-Niang lay the floor for her younger brothers to sleep.

"It doesn't matter if he has it or not." Most people would rather believe that they have it than that they don't.

"It's not a loss for us to come, it's better to stay in the cave and shelter from the rain than to stay in the bamboo shed. Rush Ming'er down the mountain to find some food and water, and it will not be a problem to spend it in the imperial court to suppress the bandits. ”

"That's it!" Someone chimed in.

They all expressed satisfaction with going into the cave.

The past few days of running have left them physically and mentally exhausted, and now they can finally get some sleep.

After everyone entered the cave, Sakura Po walked to the entrance of the plank road and tried to look down.

I saw that several of the Lin family's masters and servants were holding a torch, still standing at the entrance below, and the eight-year-old Wen Tian refused to step on the narrow plank road.

"Woo woo, I don't want to go, I'm going to fall." Wen Tian refused to walk on the crumbling plank road, and pulled Lin's sleeve vigorously without letting go.

Lin was helpless, but he didn't dare to ask Ah Qiu to carry her up.

The plank road is so narrow, it would be bad if Ah Qiu accidentally threw her daughter down the mountain.

Lin looked at Wen Fu not far away, walked over and said, "Wen Fu, you take the eldest lady up." ”

Wen Fu glanced at her and refused: "I'm sorry Third Madam, Wen Fu still has to guard the grain." ”

"You! How dare you, a dog slave, disobey your master's orders? Mrs. Lin was furious. She has been married to the Wen Mansion for so many years, and no domestic slave has dared to disobey her orders.

Wen Fu said without being arrogant or humble: "The slave is the house slave of the fourth lady, and he only obeys the orders of the fourth lady. ”

Lin was almost angry, but he also understood that he really couldn't help this damn dog slave at this time.

At this moment, the grandson of the Chen patriarch came over with a torch and stretched out his hand to Wen Tian: "Hold on to me, I'll take you up." ”

Wen Tian still shook his head, and retreated again and again: "Don't!" ”
