"Uncle, run to the mountains quickly." Xiao Lan shouted as she ran.

The jungle in the mountains is dense, and the horses cannot move freely, so the Hu people will lose their speed advantage. In the jungle, they can use trees and stones to hide their bodies. The Hu people live on the vast grasslands and are not familiar with the jungle. If they draw their bows and shoot arrows, they will most likely miss the target.

"Uncle, we have to get rid of these barbarians here. If we let them go out and chase my father and his men, they will be in danger." Xiao Lan whispered to Zhang Qingfeng, "Even if we all die here, we have to leave them behind."

The Hu people were still upset about Xiao Lan having just hunted down one of them. They were very proud and were unwilling to admit that their warrior was hunted down by a child. They wanted to avenge him.

In terms of individual combat, the Han people are not as good as the Hu people. This is related to the environment they grew up in and their physical fitness. The Hu people are tall and strong, which the Han people cannot compare with. Secondly, they have been using knives and arrows to kill or hunt wolves since they were young. The Han people are mostly influenced by Confucian culture and are honest farmers. Some people have never used a knife in their lives.

Whether in terms of innate conditions or acquired qualities, the Han people are no match for the Hu people, so the Hu people are resentful of the loss of a companion and are determined to kill Xiao Lan to avenge their companion.

Xiao Lan drew her bow and shot two arrows at once, piercing the throats of the two people who had just spoken. The remaining four people were instantly startled and said, "There is an ambush, be alert."

Zhang Qingfeng's eyes widened as he watched Xiao Lan quietly kill one Hu person after another. The Hu people kept dying one after another, and they were completely panicked. "Let's get out of the jungle quickly. We can't stay here any longer."

Before he could finish, Xiao Lan and Zhang Qingfeng dealt with them one by one.

By the time Xiao Lan and Zhang Qingfeng went to chase Sheng Xuan and the others with injuries and blood, it was already dark. When the two caught up with them, they were not far from the provincial capital.

The refugees who followed Xiaolan's family to escape were surprised and happy to see Xiaolan and Zhang Qingfeng return safely. They were surprised that they were covered in wounds and blood, but happy that they were safe. However, some people who were separated from their families or lost their families during the escape cried out loudly that night, because they knew that their loved ones would never come back.

When Zhang saw Xiaolan's miserable appearance, she took her daughter's hand and looked her up and down. She was relieved to see that she only had some minor knife wounds and no major wounds on her body.

Xiao Lan had managed to find them on her last breath, but now she was already exhausted and slowly collapsed on the ground. Sheng Xuan quickly held her up. Sheng Xuan didn't say much, he helped her into the carriage and stuffed a piece of dry food into her mouth, "You should sleep for a while, we will soon reach the city, and we will be safe soon. If we have to fight with the Hu people in the future, we will leave it to the court, and we will just be responsible for escaping."

Xiao Lan's eyelids felt a little heavy, but she felt relieved instantly when she heard Sheng Xuan say this.

Zhang Qingfeng's condition was much better than Xiao Lan's. After all, he was only a supporting role when shooting the Hu people, and he was old and had enough physical strength. After eating a little dry food, he almost recovered.

Suddenly, so many refugees poured into the city of Hedong Prefecture, and the prefect, Lord Dong, hurriedly brought people to settle them. Lord Dong was worried about so many refugees pouring in, and was thinking of closing the city gates, when General Shen came with the soldiers from the West Camp.

The Hu people invaded these two days, and General Shen led the soldiers to kill the enemies. He had just returned from suppressing the rebellion.

Xiao Lan had just woken up when she heard about the tragic situation in the county.

"I don't know what's happening to the old man and his family." Sheng Xuan said worriedly.

Xiao Lan heard Sheng Xuan's words and thought that Grandpa Sheng and his group had gone to the Sun family in the county town to seek refuge with Xiao Ru. The Sun family in the prefecture town was a large family with many servants and guards, so they should be able to protect their safety. At that time, their family thought that the Sun family in the county town was very safe, so they did not follow their family to the prefecture town, and of course they did not invite their family to hide in the Sun family. Alas, who would have thought that the officials and soldiers in the county town were so vulnerable, and the Hu people easily broke into the county town and massacred them.

Xiao Lan and his group were very eye-catching. They had two horse carriages and four ox carts, which were full of things. You could see with the naked eye that the ox carts were full of food. Judging from the appearance of the carriages, the luggage was full, so nothing should have been lost. They were able to ensure that their carriages and luggage were not lost when they were surrounded and blocked by the Hu people. This was very telling. Their family must have some skills. And looking at the refugees who followed them to the city, they were vaguely following their lead, so other people who had bad intentions for Xiao Lan's family's food hid their thoughts.

When the family saw Xiaolan wake up, they rushed over to surround her. Zhang touched her daughter's forehead and checked her wound. She was relieved to see that she had no fever or inflammation.

The family and the refugees huddled in the east of the city. Xin, Fu and Liu began to boil water and cook. Xiao Lan looked at the rising smoke and felt that she was still alive. On the way to escape, she saw all kinds of people. Some were sitting on the road crying while holding corpses, while others were numbly letting the barbarians chop them like melons. There were three or four-year-old children who lost their parents and stood on the roadside at a loss. It was the first time that Xiao Lan witnessed the cruelty of war. It was very different from the peaceful times she lived in. The people here not only had to endure famine, but also massacres by foreign races.

This was Xiao Lan's first time killing someone. When she was fighting desperately with the Hu people, she had only one thought at that time, that is, to kill them and not let them tip off. She was afraid that the Hu cavalry would chase Sheng Xuan and his men, so she kept them in the mountains on the principle of either you die or I forget. She was not afraid at the time, and her hands were steady. But now she came to her senses and started to vomit. Hunting the Hu people is different from hunting prey, and Xiao Lan couldn't remain calm.

Xiaoting and Xiaowen looked at Xiaolan worriedly as she kept vomiting. There was not much food in her stomach to begin with, and she felt like she had vomited out bile.

Zhang Shanfeng sighed when he saw Xiaolan's painful expression. He knew that Xiaolan was experiencing a stress reaction after killing someone. It seemed that the killing of the Hu people today had a great impact on her. After all, she was only a twelve-year-old child. "Old woman, please look through our car and boil some medicine to calm the nerves. Let Xiaolan and Qingfeng drink some."

Zhang Qingfeng was also pale at this time, but he was much stronger than Xiao Lan, because he only killed one person, and the rest were dealt with by Xiao Lan. He was also older, and had followed Zhang Shanfeng around the country before, and had experienced everything, so his reaction was much smaller than Xiao Lan's.
