Chapter 4: In the Mountains

Running out of about nine miles, Xu Hu saw Xu He wearing a straw hat and riding a horse to usher in it.

Xu He's face turned pale and said: "Second brother, we found that the army of Wu was stationed in front of us, and there was no way to pass on the road, so we could only hide first." “

"How many people are there?" asked the panting Xu Hu with a purple face.

Xu He said: "Seeing that the size of the camp is at least 10,000 people, we encountered one of their scouts and was shot dead by me, we did not dare to move forward, and hid in the valley north of the road. ”

Xu Hu said: "Let's go back and hurry up and let everyone prepare, go over the mountain and bypass the barracks, there are chasing soldiers behind me." ”

Xu He led the four people who arrived first and hurried to the valley. When you leave the main road and turn into the valley, leave a family to hide, and wait for the family to run back later.

After entering the valley and finding that everyone was hiding in the car to avoid the rain, Xu He and Xu Hu hurriedly went to shout one by one.

The soft food is packed and tied to the body, how much can you bring, and you can't take it away.

The fourth lady and the fifth lady said that they would not get out of the carriage at all, the leopard was five years old, and Lan'er was three years old. Everyone can't take care of it, it's really a big disaster to fly separately.

The family members were all from the Xu family, and Xu Hu and the two family members wasted their boss strength and drove an empty carriage to the east halfway up the mountain. He unloaded the horse, hid the cart, left some food, and helped the fourth and fifth ladies to transfer the children in. If you can't run, you can only resign yourself to fate, if you are caught, the worst is that the wife and children will be slaves, and they will not die of illness in the rain.

At this time, the eldest lady, the third lady and the maids were also packed up with bulging packages on their shoulders.

Xu Hu saw that about a mile away, the family members who were hiding on the side of the road were riding horses, and a group of family members who had fled back were coming, and these family members who had fled back could also see them. So with the fleeing team, he began to climb the mountain to the northwest, preparing to cross the border.

When they reached the top of the hill, the families who had fled back caught up with them.

At this time, the rain stopped, and the mountains and rivers came, and the two carriages in the valley were half soaked in the water, and they were swaying by the water. A few horses gathered together stupidly, and did not dare to move around the two carriages, and the soldiers held hands and dripped water, and chased after their big fat sheep.

The escape team reached the top of the mountain and observed, and there were also large soldiers coming out of the battalion of Wu about four miles to the south, and they were rushing towards the mountain they had crossed, and it seemed that there were at least 500 people.

Xu Hu didn't dare to delay, and led the team to continue to the west over the mountain.

Xu He reorganized, leaving the eleven families who fled back, and the remaining more than 200 arrows, ready to drag on the top of the mountain for a while.

Xu Hu also knew that although his sister was only thirteen years old, she was good at stone darts, and she didn't have much physical strength to help, so she and the maids protected the eldest lady and the third lady ran away first.

Xu He's stone bullet is still very powerful, and the two bags of stones that he usually accumulates are a sharp weapon to hurt people, but in the face of the soldiers of Wu who are eager to make a fortune, they can't hold on for long, and they can't stand it for more than an hour.

Xu He had no choice, so he continued to run with three family members who could still move, and the soldiers behind continued to chase, and the people were sleepy and lacking.

When Xu He caught up with Xu Hu and them, the sky was already dark, and he saw two wolves and a leopard along the way.

The sky was getting dark, the road was slippery, Xu Hu didn't dare to venture again, and looked for a hiding place with everyone, and found a small cave, although it was not big, it was very safe.

The people hid in the cave, and some stones were piled up outside, so that they could take care of cleaning up.

Xu Hu went out to reconnoitre, and the pursuers of the Wu State also camped and rested about six hundred meters away from them, and the beasts in the mountains were not easy to deal with.

One night, the tiger roared and the wolf groaned, everyone was tired, and they couldn't take care of sleeping, and the two maids on duty were terrified all night. Luckily, nothing happened.
