Shen Yitian didn't feel sorry for the mother and daughter of the Song family at all.

Compared to the original owner, the suffering they endured was nothing.

After lunch, Yuan Dutou immediately urged everyone to hurry up and said that time was tight and he had no intention of resting at all.

The road ahead was difficult to walk on, and everyone had to stand in a vertical line and pass one by one. Yuan Dutou separated the officers one by one, with an officer in the middle for every few people.

First, they were afraid that the prisoners would cause trouble, and second, they were afraid that something might happen to them and no officer would see it.

The road was very long, so Shen Yitian walked behind the second branch of the Song family, and behind her was Yue Niang's family.

Song Yuerong had just felt comfortable after riding in the car for a few days, but now she had to travel on her own again. She cursed in her heart but didn't dare show it on her face.

Even if she was injured, she had to walk alone on this road where only one person could pass.

But the road was lined with cliffs on both sides, and if you weren't careful, you'd easily bump into them. Her wounds hurt a lot, and every time they bumped into her, she couldn't help but gasp, and sometimes even scream.

Shen Yitian heard it clearly from behind, and suddenly felt that this road was not so annoying after all.

When we finished walking this distance, a suspension bridge about ten meters long appeared in front of us.

There are hemp ropes on both sides of the suspension bridge, and the bridge deck is paved with iron chains below.

The entire bridge is fixed with large wooden piles only on both sides. Under the bridge is a mountain stream whose bottom can be seen. The stream does not look very wide, but its height is also scary.

It was the first time that Shen Yitian saw this kind of suspension bridge. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't afraid.

In particular, there is a wooden stake at intervals on the bridge to fix the rope, and the rope is half a person's height away from the bridge surface.

This kind of bridge has no fixed foot in the middle, so it will definitely be very shaky when you walk on it. If you are not in good health, you will feel dizzy when you walk on it. How can you cross the bridge?

But this is the only way, even if she is afraid of it, she has to take it.

The bridge was only fixed at both ends by wooden stakes, so it was definitely unrealistic for so many people to cross the bridge together. So Yuan Dutou divided the people up and prepared to let them cross one family at a time.

If the previous road was difficult to walk on, then this suspension bridge was much more difficult to walk on than the previous road.

Song Xiaer, Fuguier and other children didn't know what was going on at first. When they heard Yuan Dutou shouting at them to get on the bridge quickly, they were all scared.

I don’t know who cried first with a “Wow” sound, and then all the children broke down, crying louder than the other.

"Ah! I don't want to walk on this bridge! This bridge is so scary!" Fugui hugged Yue Niang's legs and cried. Then he shouted again: "Mom! I know I was wrong! I want to go home, let's go home. I don't want to walk on this bridge!"

After walking so far, this was the first time Shen Yitian heard the child admit defeat.

Song Xiaer was also crying out of breath. She hugged Aunt Song's legs and howled, asking them why they had to walk across this bridge.

Aunt Song also wanted to cry. She didn't want to walk across this bridge, and she didn't want to be exiled, but what else could she do?

After all, the Song family was exiled because of Song An, so his hatred for Song Yuerong and her daughter deepened a little. He also regretted why he had to divide the silver with them. That money should not have been given to Song's mother. It should have been divided between her and her second sister-in-law.

Song's mother didn't know that Third Aunt Song had a grudge against her again. She was asking Song Yuerong with concern whether she could walk by herself. If she needed support, the bridge would shake even more violently if the two of them walked side by side.

But how could Song Yuerong dare to walk on such a bridge by herself? Her butt was still hurting, and she was limping. If the bridge tilted a little or she missed a step, she would fall directly. If Song's mother was beside her, she could still hold her up even if she missed a step.

"Mom, I can't walk by myself. You have to support me, or you can walk in front of me and I will hold your clothes." Song Yuerong looked at her mother pitifully, and she had completely lost her previous arrogant look.

Even if everyone is afraid, in the end someone still has to go first. Xiao Yu and Brother Hu are the first group to go.

The two of them had to go there first and meet the prisoners who would come later.

It wasn't until the two people walked onto the suspension bridge that everyone's fear of it became concrete. The previous feeling that the suspension bridge was scary was all imaginary.

The two officers had no injuries and were very nimble, moving briskly along the path. But once they stepped onto the suspension bridge, they walked very slowly. Fearing it would tilt, they didn't dare hold onto the ropes on either side, so they walked only in the middle.

Xiaoyu was walking on his side, with Brother Hu a little behind. Perhaps feeling a little dizzy, he suddenly stumbled slightly to the right halfway through. The prisoners behind him saw the suspension bridge tilt slightly to the right. If they hadn't stood firmly, they would have slipped off.

Shen Yitian swallowed her saliva as she looked at the situation before her. She said to Yuan Dutou, "Dutou, can't we find another way? Do we have to go through here?"

Yuan Dutou nodded and said, "If we don't go through here, we will have to take a detour of nearly a month. We are already traveling too slowly. If we take another month, you will definitely not be able to reach Lingnan within the stipulated time.

If you don't get there, you'll die, and I'll lose my job."

Shen Yitian took a few deep breaths. She knew very well that Yuan Dutou was telling the truth.

These people are all prisoners, and in the eyes of the police, prisoners have no human rights.

Not to mention the prisoners, even ordinary civilians, what are they in their eyes? So when Yuan Baldy said he would die, he was not trying to scare them, but telling the truth.

Not only will they die, but their relatives will also be implicated.

This is also the reason why he gritted his teeth and completed his exile instead of running away.

After a narrow escape, Xiaoyu and Tiger finally made it to the other side safely. Next, the prisoners had to go over there one by one. Because the suspension bridge had tilted a little just now, it was really dangerous, so Yuan Dutou asked the injured prisoners to cross one by one.

Others can travel in groups according to their own circumstances, but no more than four people can travel at a time.

If you can say it, he is kind-hearted and doesn't really want to let these people die for no reason.

The first people to go that way were a mother and daughter who had little to do with Shen Yitian. They had always kept a low profile on the road, never causing trouble, and didn't like to join in the fun.

They walked slowly but steadily. After remembering the scene of Brother Hu stumbling earlier, they walked extra carefully.

Shen Yitian stared at the wall intently, trying to learn some experience from these people's movements so that she would know what to do when she left.

Crossing the bridge was certainly dangerous, but soon, seven or eight people began to cross it. Yuan Dutou breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that it would take until dark to cross the bridge, but judging by the current progress, it wouldn't be long before everyone would be able to cross the bridge.

It was the turn of the eldest son of the Song family to cross the bridge. Mother Song glanced at Song Yuerong and told her to walk ahead while she would watch from behind. Song Yuerong thought the same thing. If no one was watching over her, she would never dare to walk.
