peasant queen

Chapter 178

Looking at the third uncle lying on the ground, and then at the six people who froze to death, Jiang Rong felt unspeakably heavy.

What he was worried about before still happened.

At this time, those who were awakened also knew that something had happened.Fortunately, they were woken up, otherwise, they would be like those six people.

One of the people who knew Jiang Ronggan asked, "Brother Jiang, what are you counting?"

Jiang Rong dared to look up at him and said, "Don't you feel that we are missing someone here?"

"Fewer people? Who is missing?" Another person replied inexplicably.

Others, you look at me, I look at you, who do you want to see less?It took a while for everyone to realize that the deputy captain was not there.

"Where did the captain go? Did he also freeze to death?"

"I've seen it. There is no captain among those who died of freezing." Jiang Rong dared to shake his head and replied.

"Where did the captain go?"

Everyone shook their heads, and at this moment, someone burst into tears uncontrollably.While crying, he said, "The captain left us and ran away."

The mood of the others was not much better, and they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and did not speak.

At this time, Jiang Chengyi's fever subsided a little while lying on the ground.

Hearing someone crying, he sat up and asked, "Rong Gan, what happened?"

"Six people froze to death tonight, and the captain left us again. If we don't freeze to death, we will starve to death." Before Jiang Ronggan could speak, a big man next to him cried out first.

Jiang Chengyi was shocked when he heard it, how could this happen?
He struggled to get up from the ground, but unfortunately his head was too heavy.In addition, I had nothing to eat these days, so I fell back all of a sudden.

Jiang Rong dared to go over to help him to sit down and said, "Third Uncle, you should sit down first! Let's find a way to get out of here together."

"It's easy to say, there are soldiers from Ximo guarding the foot of the mountain, how can I escape?"

"That's right! We didn't eat or drink, how could we walk back to Shacheng. There is still snow here to satisfy our hunger, but the bottom is full of yellow sand, how can we walk back to Shacheng?"

"Woooo...we are going to die here."

Seeing how depressed everyone was, Jiang Ronggan felt uncomfortable.

Except that the captain is a three-year veteran, everyone else is the same as him.He was conscripted last year, and it is normal to be afraid of death.

We are all born poor people, if they die here.Only the old and weak, women and children are left in the family, how will they live in the future.

Jiang Rong dared to comfort everyone and said: "Let's not be so discouraged, let's find a way together, and we will definitely be able to find a way to escape from here."

"What's the use of escaping from here, it's not about dying."

"Rong Gan, you have studied. Think of a way to see if there is any way to help everyone return to Shacheng together." Jiang Chengyi said.

After hearing Jiang Chengyi's words, the others looked at Jiang Ronggan expectantly.

Jiang Rong dared to scratch his head without saying a word, he came to the highest point on the mountain and looked down the mountain.

Looking at the little flames in the distance, he knew that it was the place where the Ximo soldiers were stationed.He didn't know how many people there were, but there must have been more people than they had on the hill.

In terms of ways, there is actually no good way.

Either bypass here and go down the mountain from another place.But where it will go, no one knows.

Or just rush down, but in Jiang Ronggan's view, there is little hope of rushing out.

But if you don't rush out, there is no one here.Without food or drink, sooner or later he will be trapped here to death.The result is still the same, and there is a death word that cannot be escaped.

Just when Jiang Rong dared to worry about it, the fire below the mountain suddenly went out.Jiang Ronggan suddenly became alert.

He didn't know what kind of situation was under the mountain, but he still had to be careful.

Jiang Rong dared to come down quickly and said to everyone: "Everyone find a hidden place to hide, there is a situation down the mountain."

"What happened?" Everyone asked nervously.

"I don't know yet, you guys hide first. I'll go down the mountain to have a look, and if it's safe, I'll come up and let everyone know." As he spoke, Jiang Rong dared to pick up his weapon and walk down the mountain.

Seeing his nephew going down the mountain alone, Jiang Chengyi got up and wanted to go with him because he was afraid that he would be in danger.

But Jiang Rong dared to stop him and said, "Third uncle, your typhoid fever is still not cured, so you should not go."

"Yes, you rest here. I am strong, and Jiang Rong and I dare to go together." Another tall and strong man with a beard said to Jiang Chengyi with a big knife.

Jiang Rong dared not say anything, and went down the mountain with a beard.

Although it is dark now, but because of the snow on the mountain, I can see the road clearly.

The two walked down the mountain cautiously, when they reached the bottom of the mountain.But they found that there was no fire at the foot of the mountain, and there was no sound.

This made Jiang Ronggan a little strange. Before that, he had seen a fire at the bottom of the mountain.

If there is a fire, it means that there are people, and why there is no voice for some people!Besides, even if people don't make a sound, it's impossible for a horse not to make a sound at all!
unless?Unless these people and horses are dead.

Impossible, I have been watching on the mountain these days.

There are quite a few Ximo soldiers at the foot of the mountain, not to mention thousands, at least around 500.It is impossible for so many people to be killed all at once, so where did all these people and horses go?

In order to check the situation, Jiang Rong dared to hold a knife.Walked forward again, and came to the place where the Ximo soldiers camped before.

The tents in the camp were still there, but the fires were all out.

In order to check if those Ximo soldiers had really left, Jiang Ronggan and Luhu Hu planned to go into the tent to see what happened.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached one of the tents, someone put a weapon on his neck.

Jiang Rong was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, so he quickly said, "Good man, you have something to say. We are just passing by and have no malicious intentions."

The bearded man in the back didn't dare to move after hearing what Jiang Rong dared to say.Fearing that the people inside would be angry and kill his teammates.

Jiang Wan had just killed those Ximo soldiers who were surrounded, and planned to go into the tent to search.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering, I felt someone approaching.

She hurriedly hid behind the tent, and when someone came in, she held the Tang saber against his neck.

When he heard the other party speak, he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.Thinking of her purpose of coming here, Jiang Wan asked again: "Who are you? Tell me your name, what is your purpose here?"

Jiang Ronggan hurriedly replied: "My name is Jiang Ronggan, I am a soldier of Dongshang, and I was chased here by Ximo soldiers and trapped on the mountain..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Wan retracted Tang Dao and called out, "Brother."

Big Brother? Jiang Wan's voice stunned Jiang Ronggan.I couldn't get back to my senses for a while, and said after a while: "Who are you?"

"Brother, it's me, Wan'er!" Jiang Wan stepped forward and pulled Jiang Ronggan's arm and said.

Feeling that she was really a younger sister, Jiang Rong dared to ask in surprise: "Wan'er? Why are you here?"

Before Jiang Wan could answer, Jiang Rong dared to say nonsense behind his cheeks: "Brother Jiang, is this really your sister?"

Jiang Rong dared to hear his words, so he quickly pulled Jiang Wan behind him and said, "It's my sister, come in quickly, don't be discovered by those Ximo soldiers."
