Chapter 192 The mountains and forests are dangerous, and the soldiers are divided into two ways
An Pingzhi seemed to notice some changes in Leng Xuanrong's words. He looked at Leng Xuanrong, and his expression became a little complicated.
After a while, the two noticed the awkward silence almost at the same time. Leng Xuanrong hurriedly changed the topic and asked whether the martial artists around An Pingzhi were poisoned. An Pingzhi's answer, as Leng Xuanrong expected, was indeed done by poison.
"I don't know what poison the mountain thief leader used. For so many days, none of my martial arts masters have woken up... Now even the old housekeeper has been poisoned by him..." Listening to An Pingzhi's tone, he seemed to be more worried about the old housekeeper than the martial artists who had been poisoned for many days.
Leng Xuanrong turned his head to look at the old housekeeper lying in the distance and whispered, "I don't know when the officers and soldiers can come to save us... I don't know if the officers and soldiers can defeat these mountain thieves..."
"If they can't even fight such a thief, what's the use of them!" After Anping said angrily, he comforted Leng Xuanrong softly, "Miss Xuanrong, I said I would let you go out safely. You just need to believe me."
Leng Xuanrong nodded vigorously, but 10,000 people were worried in her heart.
At this time, the rest of the people in Chaoyang Village are busy. They have to prevent officers and soldiers from suddenly rushing up and be prepared for long-term resistance. The longer they can delay with the officers and soldiers, the farther they can escape.
Long Hanqing put down a log pile and wiped the sweat on the top of his head. He is now standing on the mountain wall next to the gate of the cottage. He asked people to move the logs and stones here as much as possible. When the officers and soldiers come, they throw them down. On the one hand, they can kill the people who rush up, and on the other hand, they can also seal the gate. This is a tiring job. Even Long Hanqing needs to take a break from time to time.
He stood here and could see the direction of Qi Zongyan and the others' escape. He secretly thought in his heart, and he didn't know whether they could escape smoothly, let alone where they had fled now. Before separation, they didn't leave the direction they wanted to go, and in fact, they didn't know which direction they wanted to go. So even if someone wants to catch up with them now, they probably can't catch up. Long Hanqing looked back at the busy brothers around him. They all regarded them as death, for the sake of their families and their brotherhood.
A burst of sadness surged up, and tears almost flashed in Long Hanqing's eyes. But just then, a woman's voice sounded in her ear. You don't have to look back, you will know that Mutangsha must be coming. Now she is the only woman left on the mountain.
Mutangsha is a miserable woman. She now chooses to stay here with Long Hanqing and other brothers, which seems to be what everyone can expect. And among these people, it seems that she is the only one who has always been very calm. She has no family, no children, and is alone. Perhaps because of this, Long Hanqing still wants her to leave as soon as possible.
But the words have been said, and the rest are all their own choices.
Long Hanqing turned around and saw Mu Tangsha still wearing her gorgeous and seductive clothes. The two snow-white in the open neckline were still so delicate, but her expression became extremely resolute, not like the usual Mutangsha at all.
"The big head, I think that Leng Xuanrong can't be calm, and the calm seems to be in his chest, and he doesn't mean to retreat at all."
Long Hanqing no longer had anxiety and anger on his face. He smiled and said to Mu Tangsha, "Tangsha, you go and guard them. If we want to go, we have to let them accompany us on Huangquan Road."
Mu Tangsha also smiled when she heard the words. She nodded and turned away.
Long Hanqing looked back at the direction Qi Zongyan left, sighed and left here.
In the mountains and forests, hundreds of men, women and children migrate together. Even if they try to keep a low profile, they will still shock the birds and beasts in the mountains. A group of wild birds fluttered from a big tree. Qi Zongyan looked up and could only sigh.
He looked back at the people behind him, and his heart was even heavier.
Someone in front of him explores the way and will come back from time to time to tell Qi Zongyan the situation. For a whole morning, they didn't go far. Now they are not even within the scope of hunting of the brothers in Chaoyang Village. If it goes on like this, it is inevitable that it will be caught up by officers and soldiers. Qi Zongyan thought about it and decided to discuss it with everyone again.
At noon, the whole team stopped for a short break and made a fire to make food.
Qi Zongyan called those who could be a little responsible to her side and told them what they thought. These people also found this problem this morning. They all asked Qi Zongyan with a bitter face what they had in mind.
"For today's plan, we can only make it as it is..." Qi Zongyan's voice was a little hoarse, and he had to raise his voice to ensure that everyone could hear what he was saying clearly. "The purpose of the big boss let us escape is to retain the descendants of Chaoyang Village. But you have seen that if we still move forward at the current speed, I'm afraid..." Speaking of this, he sighed and continued, "I think it's better to let the young people go with physical women and children first, let them leave marks all the way, and the rest of the people will follow. We agreed to mark each other, and even if we are separated in the future, we can take care of each other.
This method can be said to be "not the method". There are pros and cons of dispersing. People who walk in front will face all kinds of dangers in the mountains and forests. Wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, they all have to stand in front. The people walking behind should be alert to the tracking of the officers and soldiers at any time. In case the Chaoyangzhai can't stop it, they will shoulder this responsibility and use their lives to delay the escape time for those in front of them.
Everyone fell into a dead silence, and no one went to eat even after cooking.
However, no matter how difficult the choice is, someone will eventually do it. Qi Zongyan finally decided to follow the method she said. It is better to live some people than to walk slowly and finally die in the mountains. Long Hanqing's instructions forced Qi Zongyan to make such a decision that he must keep the descendants in Chaoyang Village.
The team quickly divided into two groups. The front group were all young and strong men and women with easy-to- move children. They all left the team as quickly as possible after agreeing on weapons and making a mark. There were about 100 people in this group. After they left, the rest were the physically declining old people protected by middle-aged people and the women with children to be fed. They had enough to eat and drink, clean up, and then set out to move forward. In this way, they just need to follow the marks left by the people in front of them.
Qi Zongyan walked in the front team, which was the result of everyone's strong persuasion. They have made the worst plan. Those who can survive should be the young people in front of them. Since Long Hanqing said that he wanted Qi Zongyan to escape with everyone, he must take them to a safe place, avoid a storm, and then avenge their whole Chaoyang Village. Only Qi Zongyan can shoulder this heavy task. So everyone didn't want Qi Zongyan to stay in the back team. Qi Zongyan knew everyone's thoughts and Long Hanqing's intentions, so he did not argue much and left with the front team.
He now has only one belief, that is, he must let the people around him live well. When the time is ripe, he will take them to avenge Longhan and the whole Chaoyang Village. Now he no longer expects that An Pingzhi will suddenly accept their conditions. He also knows that even if An Pingzhi agrees now, he will still bite back in the future. Only by killing An Pingzhi and the person above his head can he end everything. Qi Zongyan waited for that day, and he waited for that day with blood and tears.
The young team moved much faster. They marked all the way and quickly went out of their usual hunting range. Further into the mountains, it was an unknown place. Qi Zongyan reminded everyone to be careful, and then took the lead and rushed into the mountain forest.
There is no trace of people's activities in the rugged mountains. There are no mountain roads, let alone anything that can guide them. Now, even the direction is not so important for them. They just want to find a suitable place to live. Overcome a mountain and stand high and look into the distance. In the vast clouds and fog, the mountains are connected to the mountains, and there seems to be no end. At the foot is a valley, and the roar of beasts can occasionally be heard in her ear. Qi Zongyan discussed with the young people around her and finally decided to go down the mountain to see if there was a place to settle them in the valley.
However, it was already night, and it would take about a day and night to walk from here to the valley. They were exhausted one by one and had no choice but to take a rest on this mountain for the time being.
When everyone settled down, Qi Zongyan carefully checked the number of people and recognized everyone's face at the same time. He should remember these faces, because they will follow him in the future and wait for the day of revenge.
After seeing everyone, Qi Zongyan suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong. He thought about it carefully and suddenly asked the people around him, "Didn't the two young people admitted by the previous head of the family come out with us?"
Everyone around looked at each other and shook their heads. Someone told Qi Zongyan that they had not seen them since they left Chaoyang Village. Qi Zongyan couldn't help snorting coldly. This is the coldness and warmth of the world. Brother Hanqing knew that the kindness of dripping water should be retribution, but the other party hurriedly fled when he saw that they were in danger...
It's useless to think about this now. Qi Zongyan shook her head, went to a big tree and sat down. In this way, she closed her eyes against the tree. Although he can't sleep, he has to take a rest. At least... he wants to calm himself down for the time being and walk a mountain road for a day tomorrow... There are countless obstacles in front of him...
