Chapter 51 Crossing the Swamp

  Luo Ping flinched, Qingfeng put away his sword and returned to Bai Wutong. Bai Wutong now knew a little about her, and asked, "Are you going out for her and the child?" She glanced at Liniang.

   Breeze did not deny it.

Bai Wutong sighed, "Don't do it lightly next time, her husband is even worse than her mother-in-law, if it wasn't for the child, she would have no sense of resistance at all, killing her mother-in-law will only make her situation worse. more tragic."

   Qingfeng condensed the blade, as if considering whether to kill Luo Ping.

   Bai Wutong saw through her mind, "If you kill her husband, she will hate you to death."

   Qingfeng raised his head, "So what?"

  Bai Wutong understood the meaning of her words. Anyway, Liniang and her children had a good life, and she was not afraid of Luo Ping.

The commander of the Dark Guard Battalion was so naive, Bai Wutong had to break it up and tell her: "If she hates you, she will try her best to kill you, or go with her husband and leave the poor child behind, and only With a woman who has no strength to hold a child holding a child in this chaotic world, and no one to rely on, how can she live well." Liniang is not her and her.

   Qingfeng lowered his eyes and seemed to realize something.

   There were other refugees who followed them up the mountain. When they saw Qingfeng kill the old woman, everyone felt fear and numbness in their hearts.

   On the way, they have seen too many dead people.

   Their own hands are not necessarily clean.

   Besides, if Bai Wutong and the others were not alert, none of them would survive.

  The child's father felt that the wife and the child were the first to hurt others, and he brought it up to Bai Wutong and the others. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness."

   When the other refugees saw this, they quickly thanked them: "Thank you for your life-saving grace." They are not ignorant people.

  The flood is still rising, and this section of the official road has been completely submerged. When the water recedes, I don’t know how long it will take.

   Bai Wutong asked Lin Yue to take out the map and take a look, "Is there no way to get close?" The official road was flooded, and the other trails were too far from their location.

  Lin Yue shook his head, "This is the most detailed map my master has prepared for me. If it doesn't, then it really doesn't exist."

  There is no road for the carriages to travel, so the only way is to take the mountain road.

  If you want to go on a mountain road, you have to throw away all the large objects such as the carriage frame.

  It is useless to bypass this flooded mountain road.

  White Indus can't do some hidden things on the carriage.

   However, there is no way to be stuck here, waste food and waste time, and maybe encounter bandits and refugees who catch up in large numbers.

   Bai Wutong thought for a moment, then pointed to the map and made a decisive decision: "Take all the food you can bring and all the necessary clothes, and discard the things you can't bring. Let's take the mountain road and go around this road to Jiangyuan City."

   Qingfeng glanced at the mountain road pointed by Bai Wutong, "There is a bandit den here."

   Bai Wutong frowned and asked, "Are there many people?"

   Qingfeng said: "Last year's intelligence statistics were more than 1,000 people."

   There are more than 1,000 people, which is really quite a lot. All the talents in their team are 500 people.

   If there is a carriage to carry things, their hands are strong and strong, and Bai Wutong is not afraid.

  Unfortunately, in addition to the horses and livestock, these food and burdens had to be carried by someone on the back.

   Afraid of being caught off guard by the ambush bandits, Bai Wutong looked at the map again, "Where is this road?"

   Qingfeng took a look, "Last year there was no bandit den." Not sure this year.

  Because today's drought is too serious, the first drought followed by the flood, the number of people who choose to be bandits in order to survive will definitely increase.

   There were no bandits on this road last year, which means that the terrain is not suitable for bandits to hide. Bai Wutong thought about it and said, "Let's go this way." Even if there are bandits, there should be fewer.

   decided to take the mountain road, everyone packed their bags overnight, the sky was completely clear, and they set off immediately.

  This mountain road is extremely difficult to walk. It is muddy and slippery. Children who can be tied to their bodies are firmly tied to their parents. Those who cannot be tied to their bodies are tied with safety ropes on their bodies, and two adults in the front and rear take care of them.

Bai Wutong is no more powerful than Qingfeng's martial arts. The smelly stench is tied to the front of the chest by the breeze. Two big dripping eyes are looking around, and they are extremely curious about the birds that fly by chance on the tree. Soothe your tired hearts.

   After walking on the rugged mountain road for several hours, we also picked a lot of mushrooms along the way, and planned to make mushroom marinated fish soup when we rested for a while.

   When they finally walked down the mountain, they found that the wild land around this road had turned into a pothole and swamp because of the heavy rain.

   If you want to pass, the difficulty factor is probably comparable to the Red Army's Long March.

   Bai Wutong saw the scene in front of him and felt that he had made a wrong decision. He looked at Lin Yue and said, "This area was originally a swamp?"

  Lin Yue shook his head, "Jiangyuan City's terrain is flat. After the rainstorm, many areas are Zeguo."

   In other words, whichever way you go, it’s almost the same.

Bai Wutong said to Lin Yue, who was headed by the group: "Well, then, let everyone tie the ropes, be careful when you go on the road, use a stick to test, be careful to step into the swamp, and don't fall behind, you need help if you don't keep up. Yes, just whistle."

   "Okay, ma'am."

  The swamp road is more difficult to walk than the mountain road. Every step you take, you need to use a stick to explore the road, and when you move your steps, the range must be small and stable.

   The team moved slowly in the swamp, because Bai Wutong was fully prepared, except for the slow speed and the encounter of two huge pythons as snacks, everything else was fine.

   After walking for about an afternoon, the speed of the team became significantly slower, because walking in the swamp was really exhausting.

  White Indus looked forward and found that there was a swamp river formed by accumulated water in front of it, and opposite the swamp river was land with shrubs.

  Lin Yue said: "After crossing this swamp river, you can probably go ashore."

   Bai Wutong thought for a while and said, "Rest in place for a while, eat something to regain strength, we are going to cross the river."

  The distribution of the swamp river is ups and downs. Bai Wutong found the narrowest position on the river, and there is grass in the middle to step on. After eating, let the team move upstream toward the swamp river.

   Don't look close, it's actually quite far, and it took another half an hour to reach the edge of the swampy river.

  They want to cross the river from here, and the refugees who come from all over the place naturally also want to cross the river from here.

  Lin Yuechu Tianbao opened the way, Qingfeng and Zhao Peng flew behind.

  The team twisted the rope into a rope and walked forward one by one.

   Walking to the place where the water in the water marsh river is the most turbulent, there is no grass to step on. The adult's legs also directly submerged the calf. Fortunately, the food was hung on the horses.

  Just as everyone in the team entered the water, two women shouting for help rushed out from the corner of the turbulent water, and rushed towards them like bowling with the rapids.

   Bai Wutong hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Stand firmly! Don't let go of the rope!"

thanks for your support! ! Let the five-star praise of the monthly ticket recommendation ticket come more violently! ! Oh~ I wish you all a safe, healthy and happy Christmas Eve! I almost forgot because no one blessed me...
