Chapter 67: Ambush
After Bai Xia finished eating the third steamed bun, the water in the bamboo tube also bottomed out, and his stomach was finally a little full, but if he still wanted to eat, he could still eat it.
Considering that overeating is not good for her health, she gave up the idea of eating another steamed bun.
Put the empty bamboo tube into the transformation pool, looked at Li Xiuyuan, who had only eaten half a steamed bun, and asked, "Aren't you hungry?" ”
Hungry, of course hungry, but thinking that there were still a few officials, he couldn't eat.
Li Xiuyuan was in a hurry, and his washed little face was as tender as an egg, but unfortunately this egg was a little dark.
Exposed to the sun every day, it's no wonder that you get a tan.
"I can't eat," he exhaled, depressed.
"Am I dragging you down?" He spoke sullenly.
Do you know and still ask?
What are you telling the truth?
Bai Xia rolled his eyes in his heart, but saw that on the other side of the transformation pool, there were a few big words marked "Protector", and put away the complaints in his heart, pulled out an insincere smile and comforted: "Don't think about it so much, I'll take care of those officials, hurry up and eat, and only when you're full will you have the strength."
Perhaps it was Bai Xia's sentence that he had the strength to move him when he was full, and Li Xiuyuan took the steamed bun and ate it.
Bai Xia and the two delayed too much, and the refugee team finally came to the border of Wu County at the end of the afternoon, that is, at about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Xiucai raised his hand to stop everyone's movements, looked at the "Chengxian" boundary monument standing in front of him, and did not move for a long time.
"Xiucaigong, are we really leaving?" A refugee asked.
One step away, the identities are very different, and when they reach the border, there are voices of retreat among the refugees.
Turning his head to look at the team of officials who were closely following at the back of the procession, they were carrying bows and arrows on their backs, looking at them from a distance, they had traveled fifty-nine miles today, and there was only one mile away from the sixty miles stipulated by the county commander.
And this mile is more difficult than the previous fifty-nine miles.
"Let everyone rest in place for half an hour" Wang Xiu made a decision, and the refugee team stopped on the spot to rest.
The official followed on horseback, seeing that the refugees were about to step out of the territory of Wu County, and stopped in the same place, and couldn't help but scold: "These untouchables, but they are reluctant to walk a few steps, they are too lazy to be like pigs."
"It's so bad that a few of our brothers are basking in the sun with us, and it's not a person."
The official followed the refugees for a day's journey, and although he didn't have to walk with his feet, he was also very uncomfortable with his buttocks and thighs after a day of horseback riding.
Now that they can complete the task assigned above, these people stopped again, so they had to wait here.
Several officials were full of complaints, and they didn't dare to leave.
complained a few times in private, and seeing that Li San'er didn't speak, someone couldn't help but ask: "Boss, do we really have to guard here?" Why don't you find a place of shelter and rest for a while? ”
Li San'er was thinking about things, and when she heard the request from the people below, she nodded in agreement.
It's true that the sun is shining, and the big guys are going to be roasted.
The task is important, but the person is also the top priority.
He took out the water bladder and poured a sip of water, and wanted to drink it again, but he only drank an empty one, and the water bladder he had filled in the morning had been drunk by this time.
Soon, the officials found a sheltered position, and they could see the movement of the refugee team, so they invited Li San'er over, and someone took out the dry food they brought and distributed it.
When it was sent to Li San'er, Li San'er just stretched out his hand to take it, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Cheng and Qin Hu haven't come back yet?" ”
The dry food sent by the officials stopped, looked at each other, and shook their heads and said, "After the morning separation, they never came back."
Li San'er pinched the dry food, leaned his elbows on his thighs, and frowned tightly.
"I'm afraid something happened"
He whispered, and the officials he heard didn't ask much, but they also had a bad premonition in their hearts.
The road behind them was all the way they walked, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way, the only accident was that they met two dolls who didn't follow the orders of the county magistrate in the morning.
It was these two dolls that made the fifth child chase after him.
Later, the seventh child also went.
As a result, the two disappeared as soon as they were gone.
sent Ah Cheng and Qin Hu back to find someone, but there was no news, but I was afraid that it would be more than lucky.
"Boss, do you want to send someone to the front to ask?" An official gestured to the stopped refugee team.
This road is a road map issued by the government, in addition to this team, it is unlikely that other teams will appear, and the two children appeared strangely, maybe it is the bait left by these people.
Li San'er shook his head and said, "They don't have that much courage yet."
And he took advantage of the effort to follow behind in the afternoon, and counted the heads, which matched the number of heads when he left, basically the same.
"Big guy, eat quickly, after eating, when these refugees leave Wu County, we will go back to the county office" Li San'er took a big bite of dry food, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart.
"Let's not look for Ah Cheng and Qin Hu?" An official asked.
Li San'er shook his head: "Go back to the county and bring more people to find it again"
He is a cautious person, he doesn't know who is behind the two little dolls before, so he rashly went to find them, but he was afraid that he would put several of them in.
Li San'er trusts her instincts.
Although Wang Xiucai really wanted to delay for a while, he had to walk for the next mile, and after half an hour, the refugee team still set off.
Wang Xiucai walked in the front, Yu Dazhuang followed him, and without a bow and arrow, he had to pin a branch as a weapon, and followed Wang Xiucai like a bodyguard.
Stepping into the territory of Chengxian County also means that this team has completely become a homeless.
The refugees were worried, lined up one by one, and half an hour passed, and then they all left the territory of Wu County.
"Boss?" Finally completed the task assigned by the county commander, and the officials couldn't help but look at Li San'er.
"Go, go back" was supposed to continue to follow the refugee team, but the disappearance of Chen Wu, Chen Qi, Ah Cheng and Qin Hu made Li San'er uneasy, and decided to go back to move the rescuers.
They didn't know that the trap carefully arranged by Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan was waiting for them.
It was also thanks to the refugees that they delayed the official errand's time, so that Bai Xia and them had time to arrange.
Li San'er galloped all the way with the official errand, and as dusk approached, the sun dropped a little, although the sun was still warm, it was much better than at noon.
In the summer, it gets dark late, and you can see the road when you go back.
"Chief, there are traces of blood"
Suddenly, an official screamed, and a pool of blood remained in the middle of the road, which was very eye-catching.
Li San'er turned over and dismounted, squatted down to check it, and his face suddenly sank.
When I looked up, I saw that there were also dots of blood on the road, looming under the cover of dust.
"Don't worry about this, go, go back to the county office"
Such an obvious trace is a trap at a glance, and of course Li San'er can't be fooled.
Regardless of the bloodstains along the way, he led the team to gallop in the direction of Wu County.
Everything went smoothly in front of them, and even after meeting the two children in the morning, there was no situation, and the officials couldn't help but feel relieved.
Just after walking another mile, sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides.
