The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 30
There was silence in the crowd at first, and then some people became unhappy: "Why are we still leaving? We have walked dozens of miles, and the kids can hardly bear it!"

Women sit in the car with their infant children in their arms, and children of all ages have to walk with adults. After all, not every family has a car. Those who feel sorry for their children will let their children sit in strollers, but there are too many children in the house to sit on. After all, bedding and clothes had to be placed on top, so the older ones could only walk. The soles of the little baby's feet had blood blisters all the way.

Lao Wangtou had worked with the army as a civilian husband in his early years, and then returned to his hometown after hurting his leg. Naturally, he was very aware of the dangers of war.

It was precisely because he was the first to respond to Jing Zhenghai's proposal that the remaining families followed. After all, Lao Wangtou was a person who came down from the battlefield. If he could avoid this war, he would flee with his family. ?
At this moment, Lao Wangtou was on the road in the dim light of dawn, looking into the distance with firm eyes: "We must go, or we will die if we don't go!"

"We haven't left the boundary of Qu County yet, and we still have fifty miles to go before we leave the boundary of Qingzhou. If the White Lotus Army comes quickly, they will be able to get here soon."

The crowd was in commotion again, and some people even regretted escaping with them. Who could bear this endless journey?

Jing Zhenghai nodded: "Everyone, please stick to it. If you don't leave, you will die. No matter how tired you are, just stay alive."

There was no other way, so everyone had to cheer up and keep walking. Seeing that some children were too careful, Su couldn't bear it, so she put a few children in the car. Jingli was helpless, this is a long distance, thousands of miles, you can just When someone gets on the bus, some old people and children come over and beg for help. Can you help?Don't make it so that you won't have a place when you look back.

Jingli thought for a while and found Old Wangtou: "Uncle Wang, you see, everyone knows how to take this road. Officers, soldiers and refugees are all going on it. Although it is easy to walk, there are many people with many eyes. Is there any other way we can take?"

Old Wangtou was startled at first. This girl had a falling out with the Chen family and went back to her parents' house. Then she had a quarrel with her grandparents. He instinctively disliked such a girl, but what Jing Li said was reasonable. They were poor people. No one can withstand the impact of refugees and officers and soldiers.

Zhao Orion followed from behind. He and Lao Wang were about the same age, both in their fifties, and had naturally experienced a lot.

"What Ah Li said makes sense, Brother Wang. In these years of war, we are not the only ones who have fled. I'm sure other families have also taken to the road."

"For the sake of safety, it would be better for us to take another route. I know a route that merchants used to take to avoid official duties. Not many people know about it, but it is not easy to walk over mountains and ridges."

Jing Zhenghai was silent for a moment after listening to Zhao Orion's words: "Then let's follow the path you said. If it's difficult to walk, make it harder. Safety is important!"

Zhao Orion led the group for most of the day, and in the afternoon they arrived near the road he was talking about: "Go along this road for another mile, and we can go up the mountain. The generals fought on that mountain road in the early years. It’s a very short way to transport grain, the road has been repaired and is fairly flat, so it’s not too difficult to walk.”

But when they actually reached the foot of the mountain, Jingli still couldn't help complaining that it wasn't too difficult to walk, it was just a matter of passing a car.

If you go up the mountain, not only the people will be exhausted, but the animals will also be exhausted!
Jing Li was looking at the mountain road when she suddenly felt that something was not right behind her. She stood on the front of the car and took a look with a disguised telescope. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up the mountain, hurry up! Bandits are coming!"

When Jing Zhenghai heard this, he quickly asked someone to go up the mountain, and he quickly picked up the child who couldn't walk. The mountain road was not easy to walk, so Fat Aunt and Mrs. Su also got out of the car and pushed the cart.

As soon as the group of people climbed up the mountain after exhausting their efforts, Jingli shouted: "Take the animals, vehicles and carriages into the forest, take good care of the children, don't let them cry, everyone lie down in the grass and don't make any sound."

With many years of battlefield experience, Lao Wangtou also felt that it was not good: "Hurry up, listen to Ah Li, hide quickly, don't let anyone discover you."

At first, everyone didn't take Jingli's words seriously, but when they heard Lao Wangtou shouting, they began to feel scared, and they quickly helped those pushing the cart, those holding the baby, and those driving the livestock.As soon as the group of people hid, they heard cries coming from the bottom of the mountain. Some of the brave ones quietly leaned against the cliff and looked down. The sight suddenly frightened them out of their wits.

I saw dozens of people in the direction behind me, running as fast as they could without taking anything with them. However, there were officers and soldiers on horseback chasing after them, and they didn't even listen to the cries and pleas of this group of people for mercy.They slashed the women and children to the back, and then tied up the remaining ten men with ropes one by one. They held the scurrying ones and walked back.

The dozen or so men kept turning around and calling for their wives and children, but the man who fell on the ground did not respond. When the group of officers and soldiers with the people were almost gone, a woman slowly sat up on the ground. Before she could sit down, He fell down again and could not get up again.

Several people on the mountain were really watching, and some couldn't help but whisper: "Should we go and see if anyone is still alive?"

Lao Wangtou cursed in a low voice: "They were all chopped up like that, so what if they are still alive? It would be great for us as a group to be alive. If we have this time, we should worry more about the way forward!"

The man didn't dare to speak anymore. After a while, Lao Wang stood up and said, "Let's go! I guess I've gone far and won't come back!"

Jing Zhenghai's youngest son Jing Dagui couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Wang, who are these people just now?"

Lao Wangtou said angrily: "Who can he be? Zuo is just a catcher!"

Everyone was suddenly frightened. Those who escaped must be captured. The people in the village
No one dared to speak, they just walked hard up the mountain, and only reached the halfway point of the mountain when it got dark.

Lao Wangtou said: "Let's rest on the mountainside tonight. It's dark and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Don't fall to the bottom of the cliff."

Jing Zhenghai's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, was worried: "How can we live in such a dark place in the mountains?"

Zhao Orion and a few people said: "Brother Hai, I will take a few people to take a look at the cave that has no dry spots, and we will make do with it for one night."

Jing Zhenghai nodded: "Go! You have to be careful. This mountain is big, so don't let wild beasts get in your way."

Zhao Orion left with a few people. Jing Li took out water and pancakes and gave them to Su: "Mom, please eat some first!"

Then he lowered his voice and whispered in Su's ear: "Don't worry about those children. You know our family background well. This is just the beginning. It's not easy for anyone. If you have good intentions, you are related to us. Will you help me if I come to my door or not?"

The fat aunt also followed up and said: "Yes, sister, the food we eat is obtained by a few children in the snow, so don't just worry about others!"

Su Shi sighed: "Don't worry! No matter what happens, I have to keep a close eye on our children!"
