I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 49 Sheep in the wolf's den
  In desperation, everyone had to return to the carriage. Uncle Geng sat outside the carriage, looking at the surrounding environment, looking for opportunities.

Chen Chuxue and others also opened the curtains and looked around, also thinking about ways to break the situation.

At this time, they saw the woman in ragged clothes coming out of a tent, and then came to the open space aside, where a tent had been set up, and the woman was cooking porridge there.

Of course, in order to prevent the woman from poisoning the food, there were several soldiers nearby, also watching.

Not long after, Leader Sun sent someone to bring food, which was porridge and cakes.

It doesn't look rich, but that's because Chen Chuxue has a cheat.

People who fight basically eat dry food like this. What's more, it's still a famine, so it's pretty good for the army to be well fed.

Chen Chuxue and others could only eat reluctantly. After all, there were so many people around, and they did not dare to take out their own food. The smell was too great.

Instead, Chen Chuxue took out the milk and gave it to Xiaoyue to drink. After all, Xiaoyue's stomach couldn't digest this kind of cake.

As for herself, she endured it.

Anyway, it’s just for one meal.

After eating, Chen Chuxue and others saw the woman still washing pots and dishes and packing things in the tent.

Several people sighed. They couldn't protect themselves, so how could they help others.

Night came quickly. In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities, and there were no lights at night, so everyone went to bed early.

Finally waited until night.

Chen Chuxue and others opened their eyes one after another. Uncle Geng booed everyone and then got off the carriage.

Although Sun Ling did not have the skills, his men did. To rest at night, they gathered the carriages in the middle, while the soldiers drew a large circle around the carriages to rest.

In other words, if they go out, they will have to pass by a lot of soldiers.

Fortunately, due to the intense heat, there weren't many fires around, so most of the place was shrouded in darkness.

Therefore, if they escape, they may not be discovered.

After Uncle Geng got off the carriage, he walked around the carriage and walked towards the night watch soldiers beside the fire.

At this time, the soldier was already dozing off, but he would raise his head and wake up from time to time. Uncle Geng's idea was to knock him out.

Otherwise, if the soldier happened to find them while they were escaping, they would be dead.

"How can I sleep on this hot day..."

The soldier lying on the ground, who was obviously not asleep, suddenly sat up with dissatisfaction on his face.

Apparently, he was too hot to sleep.

Uncle Geng was startled, and he quickly lay down on the ground, and slowly retreated back until he hid under a carriage.

Then he looked around, carefully came to the carriage containing water, climbed up, got some water and wet his body and face.

Uncle Geng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the movement above, thinking he had been discovered.

However, he suddenly wondered if they could threaten them if they occupied this carriage.

But this idea was thrown away as soon as it appeared. This method would not work, and those people might fight them desperately.

At this moment, Uncle Geng held his breath again. Hearing a bang, the man jumped off the carriage, looked around, then quickly returned to his position and lay down again.

For a moment, Uncle Geng didn't hear any movement, and then he slowly climbed out from under the carriage.

He looked at the group of soldiers sleeping on the ground in front of him, sighed immediately, and gave up the idea of ​​knocking out the man watching the night.

Among these people, he couldn't be sure if all of them were asleep. There might be some who were too hot to sleep like the man just now.

It looks like they are lying on the ground, but in fact they are not asleep. If you happen to pass by them, then...

After thinking for a while, he walked out of the darkness.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He coughed suddenly, the sound sounding very harsh in the silent darkness.

"Who!" Many soldiers sat up from the ground in an instant, apparently not only because they heard coughing, but also thought they heard footsteps.

After all, Uncle Geng did not conceal the sound of his footsteps.

"I... want convenience..."

Uncle Geng walked out and spoke helplessly.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Geng and the others naturally knew each other and mingled with them in the afternoon.

Uncle Geng looked burly, but he gave them the impression of being honest and honest.

So, when they saw it was Uncle Geng, they breathed a sigh of relief. One of them smiled and said, "Just find a place to dig a hole..."

"I'm afraid that the smell will wake you up, so I have to choose a good place." Uncle Geng shrugged and said helplessly.

After laughing and scolding them for a few times, Uncle Geng turned around and left, with a somewhat unsightly expression on his face.

Not because of their jokes, but because his guess just now was true. Many of these people were still awake.

If they happened to pass by them, it would be a trivial matter to wake them up. If they mistakenly thought it was a sneak attack, they would be able to resist it when the time comes, but what about his wife, Xiaoxue and the others?

Therefore, Uncle Geng was a little scared.

Soon, he was back at the carriage.

Chen Chuxue and others couldn't wait to come closer. Apparently they also heard the laughter over there.

Uncle Geng shook his head helplessly at them, obviously failing.

This method relies on luck, but God seems not to be on their side.

"Wait and see!"

Aunt Geng refused to give up, and Chen Chuxue nodded. It was still early, and it was only around nine o'clock in the evening. By twelve o'clock, everyone might be asleep.

However, what made them look ugly was that every once in a while, someone would start cursing and then move to a different place to rest, apparently awakened by the heat.

Especially late at night, more and more people are awakened by the heat.

Chen Chuxue also knows that the temperature is very abnormal during the hot summer. It does not get cooler as the night gets darker, but gets hotter as the night gets deeper.

In fact, early morning was originally the coolest time, but now it is the hottest time.

When she was in high school, there were no fans in the summer, so she would be woken up by the heat in the middle of the night or even early in the morning.

Until the weather turned cold, Chen Chuxue and others did not find a suitable opportunity.

In the end, a group of people stared at the dark circles and gave up helplessly.

"Damn it..." Geng Xiaoyan said angrily, "It would be great if there was a sweat medicine like the one in the book. Let them sleep to death..."

Of course, that's just a storybook.

They are not martial arts masters, so how can they get the Mongolian sweat medicine, nor are they doctors, so they don't know how to prepare it. More importantly, there are no plants around, so how can they get the medicinal materials.

At this moment, Leader Sun sent someone over.

"Our general asked Miss Chen to come over..."

"what?"

Aunt Geng's expression changed and she quickly protected Chen Chuxue behind her.

Uncle Geng quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, I wonder what the general has ordered..."

Before he could say anything, the man named Brother Li said expressionlessly, "Don't get close to me. This is General, don't make things difficult for us..."

Another person also said, "It won't look good if we wait until we take action..."

Aunt Geng's heart sank to the bottom of her heart. Sun Ling could not wait so hard. If Xiaoxue passed, it would be like a sheep in a wolf's den.
