Chapter 83 Trap (Part [-])
Wu Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's still in my carriage."

Shocked, he said anxiously, "Then you still let me stay there!"

"You can't see it, just pretend it doesn't exist."

Big head widened his eyes, opened his mouth, then tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "That's right."

Chen Nanzhu sighed and said: "How many people in this world died with injustice, and they didn't look at their eyes when they died. Those who meet you are lucky, and who don't?"

The big head also followed with emotion:

"They are also very pitiful. They are not like what I have heard. I remember hearing an old beggar say that there is a scholar's family who is considered to have a lot of money. Somehow he has provoked unclean things, his temperament has changed drastically, and his health is not good. The family spent a lot of money to treat him, but he died in the end. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man. Not long after, the old people in the family also passed away one after another. Since then, no one dared to enter their house. Well, those who go in at night are either crazy or dead."

Chen Nanzhu looked at Wu Chen and asked, "Why are everyone you meet so kind?"

Wu Chen suddenly remembered the words of the old man in the mountain depression: Don't think that what you saw these few nights is the truth.

Wu Chen didn't want to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence. He scratched his forehead and said, "When you meet someone you can help, you can help them. If you can't afford it, I won't provoke it. Someone will surrender. This is like At each yamen gate, whoever should do what errands can do whatever errands, we don’t know where to start with the errands of other yamen gates, just take care of yourself and don’t cause trouble.”

"Then where do I sleep tonight?" Big Head asked.

Wu Chen said: "Where can I sleep? Of course it's our carriage, you can't see them, and they won't provoke you, just pretend they're not here."

"What about you?" Big Head asked again.

Wu Chen kept saying, "Of course I'm with you."

Wu Chen made a promise, but when he got off the carriage, he asked Gao Er and Xu Da to teach him how to ride a horse. The big head thought that Wu Chen was thinking about the future, so he didn't take it seriously. in his carriage.

And Wu Chen was already able to ride alone on the horse, slowly following the team.

Wu Chen was weighing whether to sleep in the carriage with eyes closed, or sit on the horse overnight?
Getting into the carriage and pretending that the grandparent and grandson were not there, Wu Chen felt that he couldn't do it, but after riding on the horse overnight, Wu Chen also felt that there was a chance to see a new ghost. Both were frightened, which one was lighter?
He also wanted to complete the task and go back as soon as possible, but there was only one token, and it was not in his hands now, so what would he do if he met someone who had a grievance again?You can't sit in a car of innocent souls and wait in line for him to solve the problem, then this carriage will really dare not get on people.

Datou called Wu Chen a few times, but Wu Chen said he would go back right away. After delaying and delaying, it was midnight.

Just as Wu Chen gritted his teeth and made up his mind to get in the car to sleep, the team suddenly stopped.

Wu Chen looked forward, and Xu Liang rushed towards him.

"Mr. Wu, the scouts ahead have found a trap, and they need to be cleared before moving forward." Xu Liang reined in the reins and stopped in front of Wu Chen's horse and said.

"What kind of trap?" Wu Chen asked.

"There are several big pits, which are covered with branches and gravel, but the bottom is actually a deep pit. If the cart sinks, uh...with Mr. Wu, it can come out, but if the horse falls, it will definitely be injured. .”

"That's right, without the horses, we can't move a single step... Order someone to look around, is it a forest again?"

"It's a dense forest. The scouts have inspected it, and no one is in ambush."

"Those people can't let your people see if they want to ambush, go, take me to see General Feng, let's discuss together."

As soon as Wu Chen finished speaking, he heard Datou calling him, "Get in the car first, I have something to say."

Wu Chen frowned, clasped his fists at Xu Liang and said, "Please wait a moment, General Xu."

Wu Chen got out of the car, and when he opened the curtain, the big head grabbed his arm and said, "You can't go to the front!"

"Why?"

"I don't know. Is that General Feng you're talking about at the front of the team? When I think of you going to the front, I'm scared, so don't go!"

Wu Chen keenly grasped the crux of the problem, and he asked, "You didn't feel afraid when I went out before?"

"No."

Wu Chen sat in the car and thought about it. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the old woman was still holding the child in the same position. Wu Chen patted the big head on the shoulder and said, "Go to sleep, I won't go to the front."

The big head nodded, but he didn't stop Wu Chen from getting out of the car.

After getting off the carriage, Wu Chen called Xu Liang to his side and asked, "How do you distribute your troops? The team is like a jujube pit?"

Xu Liang reacted for a while, nodded and said, "Of course the main thing is to protect the cart."

Wu Chen looked ahead with his hands behind his back, and muttered, "What's the use of killing me?"

Wu Chen has never thought about this question. Knowing Wu Chen's existence from the Ghost Mandrill Gang, he began to want to kill him non-stop. Before, he thought it was because "it's not for my use, so you are of no use!" 'But now?What can kill him solve?

Xu Liang didn't understand, so he asked: "What does Mr. Wu mean...the traps set up in front are not to trap the cart, but to force the team to stop, and then the invading enemy will find a chance to kill you?"

Xu Liang's final tone was a little out of tune, obviously unbelievable.

Wu Chen asked: "Under what circumstances can you not discover the trap ahead?"

Xu Liang thought for a while, and said, "It will be discovered anyway, but..."

Xu Liang wanted to say, this can only mean that the opponent wants to force the team to stop, how could it involve whether to kill Wu Chen or not?

Wu Chen looked back and said:
"As soon as the team stopped, the first thing the soldiers did was to surround the cart in the middle. If they wanted to catch anyone by surprise, they would definitely seize that opportunity. But until now, the formation has basically changed, and it would be dangerous for them to rush out again. Can't get it."

Xu Liang rubbed his hands, hesitated and asked: "What does Mr. Wu mean, they don't want to drink too much? But kill Mr. Wu..."

"Yeah, what's the use of killing me? You said it was a coincidence. I just learned to ride a horse this afternoon. I can't run wildly. I can barely follow the trot all the way. This kind of thing happened at night. Do I have to ride a horse to the front?" Go take a look? Or discuss with you how to prevent this kind of thing... They think I will definitely go to the front to see, and the defense is the weakest there, and they have bows and arrows in their hands... When your people look around, they can't Have you checked if there is anyone in the tree? I don’t need you, I’ll find someone to help me look.”

After all, Wu Chen turned around and got into the carriage again. Xu Liang was thinking that the brother who only knows how to eat still has this ability?Can you see if there are people hiding in the trees in the dense forest in the dark?

Soon, Wu Chen got out of the car again and said to Xu Liang, "Wait, we'll find out in a while."

Xu Liang waited, he was waiting for Datou to get off the car, but while waiting, Datou snored.
