At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

Chapter 10 Chasing Troops
  From time to time on the way to escape, you can hear the sound of children reading from time to time.

"When humans are born, their natures are good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart."

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arrayed."

"Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu King Zheng"

An Ningning watched with satisfaction as a bunch of brats finally calmed down. Idleness is nothing but idleness, why not do something useful?
  She is not displeased with seeing them idle, she is here to make them progress.

After staying here for two days, everyone's buckets were finally filled, and the Xiushan Village escape team started a new journey.

Different from before, where we were rushing, hiding, and timid, now we are full of hope, and even the spirit of everyone walking is different.

Rest is still necessary. I walked for half a day in one breath. It was too hot near noon, so I cooked early.

Liu Erhu, the security captain who was on sentry duty in the village, saw a cloud of dust rising from the mountain road behind him from a distance, and immediately sounded the gong on alert.

The escort walked to the front with weapons, and the villagers quickly drove the car into the nearby forest to hide, and then dragged the family and their children up the mountain with their belongings on their backs.

Looking at the dust, there must be horses. Their team is walking slowly. Even if they run now, they can't run. Maybe they can run lazily for half a day, but it's not as good as someone running fast for half an hour.

There is no way, horses are not just for ordinary people to use. Not only are they expensive, but they are also unaffordable. The people in the village used donkey carts, mule carts, and ox carts, but not even a single horse.

A group of five people in Tsing Yi rode fast horses. When they ran nearby, they clearly felt someone in the forest. There were footprints everywhere, and there was faint movement in the mountain.

The person at the front who looked like the leader raised his spear with a cold light and shouted forward: "Who is it, come out?"

You definitely can't go out. Who knows what these people are doing?
  The leader looked at the rustling mountains and forests and knew that there was someone there. "I know that you are refugees. If you are wise, come out quickly. I have a conscription order from the King of Huainan."

The crowd fell silent, only responding to the rustling sounds in the forest.

There are only five people, but they are about three hundred people. However, the villagers are naturally timid towards the officers and soldiers, and even members of the security team do not dare to come out easily.

An Ningning and the rest of the An family were hiding on the mountainside. Time was tight and there was no time to go up the mountain. Besides, there were so many cows and donkeys that there was no place to run.

Several people were also cautious, taking turns to shout outside, and did not easily go into the mountains and forests to look for people. They took a look at the ox carts, donkey carts, and some things left behind by the panicked escape, and knew that there were not a few of them.

The leader waited for a cup of tea and couldn't bear it anymore. "Most of us are not far away. Hurry up for an hour. If you don't come out and surrender, don't blame the soldiers."

An Ningning was shocked. She must not leave these people behind or let them run away.

Security captain Liu Erhu and Boss An were lying together, very close to these people, and they didn't dare to move.

"We can't let them contact other people, we have to keep them." Boss An said with a trembling voice.

Thinking about the whole family, whether they are old or young, if all the young and middle-aged people are arrested and sent to join the army, it will be difficult for them to survive in troubled times.

Liu Erhu swallowed his saliva, he was a little timid, wuwuwu, he didn't dare, these were officers and soldiers, and killing officers would result in the destruction of the nine tribes.

For a moment, time seemed to be forbidden, and neither side dared to move.

When the officers and soldiers showed their cards and found no one responded, they knew something was wrong. These people might be more courageous than he thought. There are many people on the other side, and they are desperate refugees. The number of people is estimated to be hundreds. There are only five of them, how can we keep them?
  It was his bad luck that he was sent to take this path.

The people in the village were afraid of seeing that the other party was an officer or soldier, and they were also afraid of most of what they said, whether true or false, the common people were naturally afraid of Shangguan.

An Ningning lay on An Lao'er's back. She had short legs. When she ran away, An Lao'er carried him on her back.

"Uncle, we can't let them escape!" An Ningning whispered into An Laoer's ear.

An Laoer suddenly sweated from behind. Such a stalemate between the two sides was not an option. If someone else came to find him, it would be troublesome.

"Come on, we can't let them escape!" A crisp and tender voice sounded from the crowd.

I knew that this uncle was not very reliable and could not be counted on. The balance on both sides was disrupted, and the hurried bows and arrows at close range in the forest began to fly.

Several officers and soldiers suddenly panicked and turned around to leave. But at this time, An Ningning's mental power had already locked onto several horses. Although it was only a short moment, it was enough for the village's security team to react.

The villagers held their own weapons and all rushed forward at once. The nearest few people were in the encirclement circle. There was only one who was a little further away, mixed with the horse's belly, and suddenly ran out for more than ten meters.

The soldier didn't even look back, and in an instant he was some distance away from the forest.

"Hurry, hurry, we can't let them escape, hurry up, or we won't survive."

There were villagers riding donkeys, some with bare legs, and they started to chase him away, but the distance had already widened. What's more, the soldiers ride horses, and the horses used by the officers and soldiers are all fat and healthy military horses. Not to mention donkeys, even ordinary horses cannot compare.

An Ningning was already exhausted from controlling five horses just now, but seeing this scene, her head was buzzing and hurting.

The horse was still within her control. She slowed down a little and gained some strength. She gritted her teeth and used her mental energy to quickly and violently control the horse's front legs.

Everyone saw from a distance that this fast-moving horse seemed to have suddenly lost its front legs, and the horse and its leader were thrown away.

The horse was already galloping, but suddenly it fell 180 degrees, its legs were broken, and blood was flowing from its mouth. The soldier was pinned under the horse. Well, it was too bloody to watch.

When the villagers arrived, they only brought the people and horses back to most of the area without leaving any traces.

The four officers and soldiers here have been tied up tightly by the villagers. Even the horses' legs have been tied up and tied under the trees in the forest.

The crowd in the village was in panic. It was terrible. They killed the officials.

Oh my gosh! There is no way to survive!
  The village chief held a meeting with elders of both surnames and ordered the security team to help the villagers come out of the mountain, find their luggage, and pack it up. This place cannot be kept.

"Tell me what to do about this incident now. Someone in the village has been injured." The village chief's simple face suddenly became filled with sadness.

Clan elders, you look at me, I look at you.

Boss An and a few young adults, I look at you, you look at me.

Everyone knew in their hearts that there was only one way to go now. Ever since someone in the crowd shouted, "We can't let them leave." The whole village had no way out.

It's just that the people in the village are simple and have never done anything like this. Everyone was panicked for a while.

Liu Erhu tapped Boss An's arm. Boss An had spoken so cruelly before, gesturing to him to speak.

Boss An wiped away the non-existent sweat and opened his dry lips: "Village Chief, we can't waste time. What if someone catches up after a long time?"

"But what to do with these people? Living people!" The village chief pointed to the tightly tied officers and soldiers next to him.

"Who? We haven't met anyone today." An Ningning came over and said innocently.

One word awakens the dreamer!
  Yes, did they see anyone today?

"What about this horse?"

"I wonder if horse meat is delicious?"

Boss An's eyes widened, my daughter! You can't do this? We will have to find my husband’s family to marry in the future.

All the other little kids in the village gathered around them and said, "Horse meat, horse meat, I want to eat horse meat."

Several adults trembled in fright, these dolls must not go astray!
