Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

The person walking behind stopped in his tracks when he heard the scolding.

Everyone stopped, their attention drawn to the movement in front.

Although I felt a little tired after traveling all night, it was just due to the sleepiness from staying up late for a long time. I still had the energy to continue traveling.

Hearing this scolding, Zongrong was instantly shocked and became alert.

"But……"

Someone lowered his voice, took a few steps forward cautiously and asked, "Boss, is there something wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who had been leading the way in front of him put his finger to his mouth and whispered, "Shh.

Everyone, be quiet, don't make any noise, something's not right around here."

After that, he said to another thin but flexible man who was following him, "Hu Zi, go to the front and see what's going on."

"It's the boss."

The man followed the instructions and took advantage of his thin body. The thorns on the ground were no obstacle to him. After walking forward for more than ten steps, he found the tallest tree, hugged the trunk and climbed up the tree lightly.

The one who was called the boss ordered the people around him to spread out, then walked forward, wanting to see what was going on in front.

When he had walked no more than fifty steps, his forward steps suddenly stopped, and he didn't know what he saw.

Turning around and running backwards...

At this time, the young man who climbed the tree also slid down from the tree, and it seemed like a wild dog was chasing him from behind.

"Boss, Boss is on fire, on fire..."

The young man quickly ran behind the boss, and before he could stand firm, he saw that the boss's face was ashen.

"Boss, it's bad! The people below are surrounding us!" The young man shouted in fear, his voice obviously trembling uncontrollably.

"They're surrounding us? What's going on?" The man called the boss frowned, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"They really gathered here, boss. There are so many of them!" The young man seemed to have not recovered from the shock just now, and his speech was a little incoherent.

At this moment, the man called Boss flashed and quickly returned to where he was originally standing.

He didn't dare to pause for a moment after he stood still, and immediately began to give orders to his companions behind him: "Everyone, pay attention, don't disperse, gather together, and hold this position!"

While the crowd below was gathering, the boss eagerly asked the young man, "Tell me, what did you see?"

The young man just stammered and repeated, "Boss, there are so many people, so many people... I... I don't know what to say."

The boss grew increasingly anxious and shouted, "Stop babbling! Just tell me how many people there are!"

The young man was startled by the roar and shuddered involuntarily, but he tried to calm himself down and said, "No... I don't know the exact number, but it looks like they are crowded, at least over a hundred people.

And it seems like they already knew we were here and surrounded us from the outside."

"What do you mean by being surrounded?"

"Boss, there are at least a hundred of them. I can't count the exact number, but judging from their posture, they discovered us a long time ago.

Now those people are closing in on us and are about to close the gap."

The young man was really scared. They had survived for so long by relying on their ability to escape.

But they never take it seriously, and they have survived to this day with the fear of death from top to bottom.

At the slightest sign of danger, they slip away faster than anything else. They are not heroes, but fugitives.

We had no danger along the way and had never been surrounded like this before.

The man listened to the young man's report without stopping, and his eyes scanned the crowd that was gradually gathering. Because the people were too scattered, most of those who had gathered now were here, and there were a few people who had fallen behind not far behind.

After listening to the young man's report, he asked seriously, "Is it true?"

"Boss, it's absolutely true, those people don't look like ordinary villagers.

The people surrounding us from behind look more like the ones we saw in the village last night."

The young man hid nothing and told everything he had just seen.

……

But - this is not right. The man recalled the figure he had just seen and felt something was wrong.

Now when I heard the young man say this, my heart skipped a beat and I immediately panicked.

After searching for a long time in the crowd, I found that I really didn't see that person.

He asked the people around him, "Where is the lame man? Have you seen the lame man?"

A hunched-backed man beside him straightened his bent body with difficulty and glanced at the crowd.

Like the man, there was no sign of the lame man.

With his back hunched, he held onto a tree trunk and shouted to the crowd, "Has anyone seen the lame man?"

"Cripple..."

"Yes, I said something was wrong along the way, I always felt like something was missing. Now that you ask me, it turns out that I didn't see the cripple!"

"Yes, I remember that after we entered the mountain, I had an argument with the boss. Afterwards, I don't know if he was angry, but he walked slowly and fell behind the team. Gradually, I no longer noticed him."

"Yes, yes, and the little follower who followed the lame man is also missing."

……

The crowd was noisy because of that sentence.

After hearing this, the man's face turned pale and he cursed in his heart: Damn it, he actually lost control at this time and the person is missing.

This group of people are just a mob, and their mediocre skills are no match for the truly well-trained ones.

The only person here who had some kung fu disciples was the lame man, but now the lame man is gone.

The man felt a little scared.

He had been hiding in that village for such a long time, just because he saw that the terrain there was good and there were not many people there, and he was ready to strike and take that place for himself.

Who knew that since yesterday morning, he discovered that something was wrong with the village, so he sent people to guard it and kept spies watching there.

As the afternoon began, I began to notice something was wrong. The village was not occupied by only a dozen or twenty people. From a distance, I could tell that those people were not simple. They seemed to be private soldiers hidden here, kept by someone unknown.

After hearing the news, he went to investigate in person and fled from there without even spending the night. Just when he was thinking that he had nowhere to go, he remembered that there was a village with people living here a few days ago.

According to their usual practice, they would plunder the village and then live in peace for a while.

For this purpose, he even avoided the main road and chose a shortcut.

I just didn't expect this to happen.

At this moment, the noise in the distance became louder and louder. Standing on a high place, the man waved his hand and said, "From now on, everyone flee in that direction, no matter what happens.

No matter what sound you hear, as long as you find a way to leave here and escape into that village, we can break the siege."

The direction the man was pointing was right above the small stone house.
