Hard times have room

Chapter 325
"Well" Chen Sirong felt that her feet were so painful, didn't she just think about things a little bit, and she was lazy for a while, didn't she use a stick to sweep it in front of her?

As for the unfortunate one who hit the stone directly, if it wasn't for her walking slow, she would have to drop a dog and chew on the mud.

Chen Sirong bent down and rubbed her sore foot. Chen Sixuan, who was next to her, was also staggered. The two sisters walked hand in hand: "Sister, are you alright?"

It has been a long time since the last person left the team. They all walked in the dark. Although there were half a candle and half a box of matches in the team, no one asked to light a candle when it was dark.

Because they know that the road ahead is still very long, and if they use it now, they will be blind when it really comes to a critical time.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just knocked." Chen Sirong patted her sister Chen Sixuan's hand, gritted her teeth and said, but the sky was completely dark and no one saw it.

That is to say, the two are still holding hands, and they are inseparable at ordinary times. They are too familiar to be able to accurately pat Chen Sixuan's shoulder. Otherwise, it is no different from being blind.

The weather tonight is really unfriendly to these seven people. As soon as it gets dark and the cold wind blows, these people wearing half-dry and half-wet clothes, let alone the taste, the shivering without cold is already a good concentration.

After this little episode, the group continued on the road again. During the period, they used a stick to probe where there was water, and they would light the candle, take care of the road ahead, and try to cross the river with their trousers on.

But lighting a candle is very troublesome, so except for special circumstances, fork in the road, crossing the woods, and places where water needs to be dripped, the candle is always placed in Pauline's schoolbag.

This candle was brought by Kwong Changqing for their group after returning home. He handed it directly to Wang Baolin, who was closest to him. After saying "use it at a critical time on the road when it's dark", the person turned around and went home. This man is not dirty, he doesn't dress very differently from a beggar, he has a little crippled legs, and his back is quite handsome.

The candles are relatively small. They have been used, and there are about half of them left. Pauline doesn't know much about the size of candles at this time. She usually uses oil lamps at home, and there are still a dozen or so in the matchbox. Matchsticks are pretty good too.

If you don't light candles now, one is only half a candle. It's easy to finish lighting it, and it's gone after lighting it. A group of people are waiting to catch the blind!
The second is that this candle is really hard to hold. It's a bit hot, and I don't have time to find a small piece of wood to set it on. Besides, even if it is set up, no one has the patience to hold it. Now who is not tired? To die, in this team, there are seven people, five of them are limping with a stick, the remaining one is Xu Zihua, who is supported by Xu Zhao and has difficulty walking, and the other is Chen Sixuan, who fell The ones who are not motivated, the legs are a little lame, and they are dragged by their sister to walk. Let the disabled group of them hold candles to light the way forward. What beautiful things are they thinking?

The third and most important, the wind is strong, just ignited, the wind blows, and immediately extinguished, irritating, there are only a dozen matchsticks, so don’t use them sparingly!

She dragged her weak feet and walked for more than an hour, or more than two hours, Pauline didn't know, but the hardship was certain. It's not impossible to walk on the road the next day. I kept telling myself in my heart, I'll hold on and wait until I get to Chenjiazhuang.

But when it was time to wait until Chenjiazhuang, when it was about to endure, he told himself that it was usually only a ten-minute journey, and he would soon arrive at Shanghe Village.

Just after Chenjia Village, there were only three of them left, and everyone was walking staggeringly, which was extremely difficult.

Just arrived at the grove at the junction of Chenjiazhuang and Shanghe Village. When they were going downhill, Xu Zhao and Xu Zihua, who he was supporting, fell down together. A fall was the last straw that overwhelmed them, and neither of them wanted to move, no matter how tempting things were in front of them.

Of course, the two of them also knew clearly that when Wang Baolin went back and called someone, the two of them could comfortably be carried on their backs or carried home.

It is impossible to say that there will be a situation where no one cares for the night, and now I can lie down in peace.

Neither of them wanted to get up, so they just lay in the mud bar, closed their eyes, and panted heavily.

Pauline deliberately lit a candle and took a picture of the two of them. It was nothing major, except for a few new scratches. However, this is too common. She has scratches on her hands and feet, and even her face.

In fact, it is a waste of time for so many people to go together. If there are only four or five people or she goes into battle alone, she will be able to return to Shanghe Village before dark. However, the premise of this is that everything is fine and there are no accidents. occur.

Although it would be a bit of a delay if so many people walked together, it was not completely useless. All the way from Jiangning County to Hongxing Town, their team of more than 20 people had met two groups of people.

The first time I met someone was on the avenue full of bushes. Pauline could see clearly that there were five adult men in total.

But when they looked at this group of more than 20 people, they might not be able to take advantage of it. In addition, they knew that they must be students from the immature appearance. After looking at it, after confirming that there was really no oily water, he left and went back to the bushes to hide. The two sides did not speak or communicate during the whole process. However, the atmosphere at that time was so tense, and the heart was pounding. I can hear that when I jump.

When passing by those two people, Kwong Lili was so nervous that she lowered her head and grabbed Paulin's arm with her hair disheveled, pinching her several red marks.

The second group was when they were crossing the bridge, and the man stood in the middle of the bridge, looking to the side from time to time, and he didn't feel any kindness at first sight.

In fact, it was true. He originally planned to ask for tolls, but when he saw more than 20 people, he walked around without saying a word, and then turned back by himself.

This time, Pauline only saw this person who came out for a walk from beginning to end. No one else saw it, so he should have been hiding.

After these two encounters, the people in the team had only two words in their minds. Fortunately, if there were not so many people in the team, what would happen is really uncertain.
