Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl
Chapter 17: Snakes Are Scary
After the old man left the mountains, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for his granddaughter's sharp intuition, the whole family might have been killed. He was a little curious about what this thing was.
Just when they were not far from the mountains, he also noticed that gaze, a gaze that seemed to want to swallow them up. The old man himself was quite frightened. He was too arrogant in the end. He must never be so reckless in the future.
Because of the experience in the mountains, the Wang family began to carefully observe the surrounding environment wherever they went to prevent themselves from stepping into the range of wild animals again. Fortunately, they discovered it early, so they escaped. In fact, when they were walking just now, they heard the sound of something heavy being dragged. They guessed that it might be a large snake or some multi-legged animal, otherwise the friction sound would not be so loud.
"Xiao Yu, you have a keen intuition. If you find anything, tell Grandpa immediately. We should leave as soon as possible and never fall into danger."
The old man spoke as if he had escaped a disaster. He was really scared half to death. Now that he thinks about it carefully, the friction sound was so loud, the beast must be not too small.
Wang Shiyu also nodded in surprise and agreed directly.
"I know, Grandpa. I'll pay attention."
The old man now believes that Wang Shiyu is definitely a noble person sent by God to help their family. He doesn't know if they have accumulated good deeds in their previous life or done too many good deeds to allow Wang Shiyu to be born into their family.
Wang Shiyu didn't expect that the old man had already started to worship his ancestors and various gods and Buddhas in his heart.
The two brothers didn't say anything. They held their wives and children's hands tightly and continued to move forward. They originally wanted to stop and rest, but the old man was worried that the big thing behind them would catch up again and they would not be able to deal with it.
They walked for more than two hours before they stopped. After they stopped, Wang Shiyu no longer felt the gaze that made her terrified and suffocated, so the family stopped and began to rest.
For the safety of his family, the old man looked around carefully to confirm that there was no feces or traces of crawling by large wild animals. It is true that once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years.
After confirming that there were no large wild animals around, Wang Shiyu stopped to rest and leaned against a big tree. She then sprayed medicine and sulfur powder around to prevent wild animals.
The main reason is that there are too many snakes here, and she is a little scared. Some snakes, insects, rats and ants are simply hard to guard against. So since she just woke up one morning and looked into the eyes of a snake coiled on a tree, she would sprinkle sulfur powder around her to prevent these snakes from suddenly falling in front of her and scaring her.
It's actually quite funny to say, before they entered the mountains, they were originally walking on the outside of the forest, but after discovering several cases of humans hurting each other in the back, they slowly moved closer to the depths of the woods.
Human beings are really the most suicidal race. In such difficult times, instead of thinking about how to unite and overcome the disaster, they have all kinds of small thoughts and release the demons in their hearts, letting everyone see the evil in their hearts, and even killing people without blinking an eye.
It was Zhou Guichun who saw it at that time. They were leaning against the roots of a big tree and taking a rest. Someone went into the mountain to find some useful things. The man went into the mountain by himself and did not notice the three men following him. The man in the middle of the three raised the hatchet in his hand and swung it directly at the man's neck. The man fell down. The man didn't even see who attacked him and died instantly.
Wang Shiyu felt numb all over after seeing this, and the old man didn't want to go with those murderers as they were moving deeper.
Once, the whole family was resting against a big tree. There was a small tree opposite Wang Shiyu, and he did not notice the branches on the tree which were the same color as the gray snake.
Later, no one noticed that there was a non-venomous gray snake wrapped around it. When Wang Shiyu opened her eyes the next day, the snake just stood up with its oval head looking at Wang Shiyu, but it didn't scare Wang Shiyu away.
You know, she hates these invertebrates the most. They feel cool and sticky. I remember that as soon as he opened his eyes, the howling sound came out of his mouth.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! There's a snake! There's a snake."
The grandfather and his father Wang Yixian were very scared and rushed over to see what was happening. The old man found it a little funny when he mentioned it. In fact, the snake was not poisonous, but it scared my roommate so much that he kept howling.
He called all the busy family members over. The old man almost laughed when he looked at the snake. In fact, it was a dead snake, and its body was a little shriveled. But it did scare Wang Shiyu, and she didn't react for a while and didn't look at it carefully.
The old man walked up, took the snake that was entangled on the branch and threw it aside.
"Okay, Xiaoyu, don't be afraid. I have already thrown away the snake for you. Don't be afraid."
Wang Shiyu, who had closed her eyes tightly, waited until she opened them and saw that there was no snake on the branch in front of her. Only then did she feel relieved. She was so scared. Mo Ruru hurried over to hug her daughter and pat her back to calm her down. Mo Ruru hugged Wang Shiyu and realized that the child was shaking with fear.
To be honest, the animal she feared the most in her past life and this life was snakes, because she felt that snakes were not only difficult to tame, but could also easily bite people.
Snakes are cruel and ruthless creatures. Sometimes, even if you don't provoke them, they may bite you if you just pass by them.
Everyone had been walking for a day and a half, and they were all exhausted, so they closed their eyes and lay down on the branches and began to sleep.
Even Wang Yixian gave up keeping watch and began to rest with his eyes closed. When the family was sleeping soundly, in a place only a few dozen miles away from them, two people in ragged clothes were running forward with a child in their arms, and behind them were people chasing them.
Originally, the two of them were walking with a child in the group of refugees, and they were not actually conspicuous, but somehow, their whereabouts were suddenly revealed.
No less than three groups of people had arrived and wanted to kill them, forcing them to retreat while going into the mountains and forests to look for a glimmer of hope.
This ten-mile mountain range is the place they least want to enter, because they know that there are ferocious wild beasts in it. The wild beasts in the deep mountains seem to have mutated. They are not only tall and big, but also have amazing combat power.
So when they passed through the ten-mile mountain range, they had to take their little master and disguise themselves as refugees, walking on the official road. At the beginning, no one knew each other, so it was quite safe.
But after walking for only four days, on the fifth day they began to be chased. No matter how they hid, they could not escape the pursuit, as if someone was showing them the way.
There were seven people in the group, and five of them were killed when they entered, leaving only two people who entered the Ten-Li Mountain.
Both of them were deadpools cultivated by the Zhang family, so it was impossible for them to betray their young master, so they reasonably suspected that someone had recognized them, or that the portrait of their young master had been posted.
Two people walking in the forest with a child were still at a disadvantage, so they used light skills to escape.
Because they were traveling light, they didn't bring much food and water, and now they only had enough food to last for two days.
Finally, another secret guard took out a set of clean clothes for the little master from the bag, then picked up some branches, wrapped them with the clothes, and said something to the secret guard who was holding the little master.
"Brother, I will lead them away. If I can come back alive, I will wait for you in the Spring City ahead. If I don't wait for you in the Spring City, don't wait for me."
"Xiao Qi, what are you going to do?"
The man who was called the second brother, didn't he know that Xiaoqi wanted to use his life to exchange for him and the young master, so that they could have a chance to leave here alive?
There were seven secret guards in their group, and now only two of them are left. The rest are no longer alive. They have been chased and killed all the way. Even with help, several people have been killed.
Furthermore, the brothers who went to lead the enemy to another place have not returned, and now there are only two of them to protect the young master. If Xiaoqi leaves again, he will be left alone.
He himself did not dare to confirm whether he could deliver the young master safely to the hands of the Zhang family. They seemed to have figured out some patterns in the hunt these days. It seemed that a group of people from the Crown Princess's family were hunting them down, and the Second Prince seemed to have sent people to hunt them down as well.
As the Zhang family didn't know what had happened to their daughter, they didn't send anyone to protect her. The Zhang family members lurking in Jinling didn't have very well-informed channels of information, so they didn't know that something had happened to Concubine Zhang.
The Zhang family still has quite a few secret guards. Even though they have been exiled, they have never thought of leaving the exile team directly. After all, they are loyal and brave people and will never let the world leave any stigma on them. Once they leave, they can only become bandits.
Zhang Tao doesn't want to stay in a mountain for the rest of his life and make a living by robbing and pillaging. He has made up his mind that he must reach Qiong Island and make a comeback with his own abilities.
Even Zhang Tao no longer has any thoughts of being loyal to the emperor or patriotic. Now he just wants to protect his granddaughter and her child.
Why should the Zhang family pay so much for the Zhou family's empire?
My sister married into a royal palace, but I was kicked out of the house. Even the surname Zhou was no longer allowed to be used, so I had to change it to Wang.
Just because his brother-in-law is the younger brother of the current emperor, they had to swallow their anger. Even his sister did not dare to ask for help from her family easily, because the Zhang family is a loyal and patriotic family.
Zhang Tao and his companions stopped by the roadside to rest. They still had plenty of food, as they had been frugal along the way. Even the water in the bucket was poured into the water bag and hidden away.
Zhang Tao looked at the woods behind him. He had been walking at the edge of the woods for about five days, but had not yet reached the end. So he suspected that Wang Huan and the others were still in the dense forest and not far away from them. If any big signal happened here, they might come out to help.
When Wang Huan left, he gave Zhang Tao two flares. If anything happened, just send them out and he would come as quickly as possible.
Zhang Tao was an old acquaintance of the mayor of Mo City, but after their house was searched, he wrote a letter directly to the mayor, hoping that he could help the Zhang family and sent him money. However, when they came, they did not receive any help, which made him very angry.
After walking for these few days, he understood why the Lord of Mo City did not help him. Now even Mo City is in trouble, and the things that the Lord of Mo City gave him were probably saved from his own pennies by living frugally.
An Jingyu, the mayor of Mo City, is also a good official who serves the country and the people, because he never embezzles anything from the people. He will always take everything from the people and use it for the people, and he will never embezzle for his own benefit.
When they were leaving Jinling, a handwritten letter had already been sent out, but at that time a drought had already occurred, especially not far from them, where a meteorite rain was falling. He would definitely go to help, and the things in Mo City would naturally become less and less. It would be a great fortune if they could squeeze out these things by the time they arrived.
Now, it is impossible to reach Qiong Island with the things they have, but they can get supplies in the next city. They just hope that this damn weather will pass quickly.
Pulling over a dry weed, Zhang Tao couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart as he looked at the weed that had withered due to lack of water.
The fate of the Dazhou Dynasty is over. A disaster has befallen the country, but the monarch is only concerned with enjoying himself. If he is not a king who will destroy his country, then what is he?
Moreover, when they were resting last night, Wei Xin, who was assigned to inquire about the news, brought back news that the silver sent by the emperor for disaster relief had been embezzled by the imperial envoys.
Nothing was left for the people, and some county and city lords who were not greedy were able to give some to the people, but it was like a drop in the bucket.
Zhang Tao's two sons do not have such concerns, because for them, as long as their family is together, that is home.
Zhang Tao had instilled in them the idea of serving the country and the people since they were young, but that did not mean they were blindly loyal. Their family had suffered such a disaster, and they only hoped that everyone in the family could survive safely, and they no longer had any other thoughts about the emperor.
After Wang Shiyu had dinner, she slowly climbed up the tree and secured herself with a piece of cloth to avoid accidentally falling when she turned over.
The big tree they chose must be at least hundreds or thousands of years old, and three adults together cannot hug this tree.
