Chapter 8 Overnight in the Mountains
Chapter 8 Mountain forest, overnight stay
Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying, who was only a palm away from him, and froze, a flash of disgust flashed across his eyes, and he quickly retreated to get further away from her.
His subconscious disgusting actions made Su Ying very unhappy. If it weren't for her, he would still smell like rotten flesh, and he still had the nerve to dislike her!
Su Ying glanced at him coldly. Seeing that he cared about Dabao, she said coldly: "There is still a slight fever, and the redness and swelling of the wound have not completely gone away, but the problem is not serious."
Xiao Jin reached out and touched Dabao's forehead with a worried look. Although he still had a slight fever, Dabao's condition looked better than yesterday. It should be that Su Ying's medicine had taken effect.
Su Ying originally wanted to take this opportunity to go to the mountains to find some supplies, but the official officers were patrolling back and forth all the time. If she left the team now, it would be too conspicuous. She was afraid that the official officers would cause trouble for Xiao Jin and the others while she was away.
It can only be given up temporarily.
The team rested for about two quarters of an hour before continuing on their way.
"Move quickly. If you can't get down the mountain before dark, be prepared to be a wild beast." The officer shouted from the front, and when he saw a slow-moving prisoner, he whipped him up.
Everyone was afraid of being beaten. Even if they were too weak to lift their legs, they could only continue to grit their teeth and move forward.
The farther the team walked up the mountain, the darker the light became, and the scorching sun in the sky was unable to penetrate the thick leaves and shine into the forest.
Because there were so many people in the team, all the small animals in the forest were frightened away. Su Ying didn't even see a wild rabbit along the way.
The sky was gradually getting dark, but they were still on the mountain. It was almost too dark in the forest to see the way forward, so everyone could only continue walking in the dark.
"Boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down the mountain before dark, so we might as well find an open space to stay." The official suggested.
The leading official looked at Shen Lin, who was in the darkness and couldn't see the end, and nodded, "Find a larger open space, it is best to circle people."
"There happened to be a flat slope in front of me. I went to check it out. It can accommodate hundreds of people."
"Then go over there."
Under the orders of the official, the team arrived at Pingpo.
The vegetation here is relatively sparse, allowing some weak moonlight to shine through for illumination.
After arriving at the place, the official began to distribute today's dry food. Su Ying put the two children down and went to get the dry food. She was not short of the dry food now, but if she didn't receive it, others would definitely look at the dry food in her hand.
It will cause her unnecessary trouble.
She is not afraid of trouble, but she cannot ignore the safety of her two children.
Although the officials didn't want to give the rations to Su Ying, they honestly put the rations into her hands considering Su Ying's fist.
Su Ying walked back and heard Erbao's shout of surprise.
"Brother, you're awake."
Su Ying couldn't help but quicken her pace. Through the dim light of the fire not far away, she saw that Dabao had opened his eyes.
"Ji'er." Xiao Jin stepped forward and carefully supported Dabao onto him.
Dabao looked around weakly with big eyes, "Dad..."
Xiao Jin watched Dabao wake up, and the anger in his eyebrows faded slightly, "Just wake up."
"Wake up, come on, let's drink some water first." Su Ying handed over the water bag on her body. This water bag was brought with her when she was exiled. However, the water bag was not ordinary water, but the water she had brought with her since she was exiled.
The nutrient solution contained in the space.
As soon as Dabao saw Su Ying, his little sword-shaped eyebrows furrowed and he stared at her with fear and annoyance, "You bad, bad woman, don't come here."
Seeing the little guy's stubborn look, Su Ying did not step forward, but handed the water bag to Xiao Jin, "It should be fine when he wakes up. This is dry food and water, let him eat some."
Xiao Jin glanced at Su Ying solemnly before picking up the water bag and bringing it to Dabao's mouth, "Ji'er, drink some water first."
Dabao then opened his mouth obediently. The moment the water flowed into his mouth, his eyes widened in surprise. Why did this water taste sweet?
Because Dabao rejected Su Ying, Xiao Jin became a nanny. After feeding Dabao water, he fed him dry food.
After all, Dabao was still too weak. Not long after eating, he fell asleep again in Xiao Jin's arms.
Su Ying was chewing dry food in her mouth, but her shining eyes were always observing the situation around her.
Xiao Jin said that there were people along the way who were targeting people from the Qi Palace, which meant that among these hundreds of people, there were many hidden people who wanted their lives, so she must not take it lightly.
Before going to sleep, the officer held a whip in his hand and patrolled the prisoners with sharp eyes.
"Be honest at night. Don't think that you can escape from this mountain on your own. I tell you, even if you can escape our eyes, you can't escape the sharp mouths of wild beasts. The prisoners who were exiled before want to escape from
The bones of those who escaped here have been chewed up by wild beasts. If you don't want to die now, just stay here obediently."
The officer shouted a warning and walked around among the prisoners before returning to his position to guard.
As the night progressed, the prisoners who had been traveling all day fell into a deep sleep.
Su Ying leaned against the tree and dozed off. When she felt that the atmosphere around her had become calmer, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Their location was just right to avoid the sight of the patrolling officers. She glanced at Xiao Jin and the others, and after seeing that Jiang Yang was not sleeping but standing guard, she quietly walked towards the mountain in the dark.
Jiang Yang watched her leave. He frowned and secretly thought that Su Ying wanted to play another trick, but because he wanted to protect the safety of Xiao Jin and the others, he did not dare to follow her rashly.
As soon as Su Ying walked away, another figure quietly climbed up in the queue of prisoners. After the patrol officer passed by, he ran silently towards the mountains and forests. Even though the mountains and forests were dangerous, compared to
Even if they are exiled to the Northern Wasteland, some people will still give it a try.
After the prisoner was out of sight of the officer, he ran frantically towards the forest. He ran for an unknown amount of time until he was so tired that he could no longer lift his legs. He leaned against a big tree and gasped for air.
The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the only sound left in his ears was his heavy breathing. But when he slowed down his breathing, he found that the wheezing in his ears was getting heavier and heavier.
He opened his eyes wide in shock, stiffened his head and looked behind him, and met a pair of eyes that glowed green in the darkness...
Su Ying entered the storage space after leaving the team. She had consumed a lot of energy throughout the day, and that little dry food could not satisfy her growing desire for meat.
She took the dried meat from the shelf and took a bite. The crispy roasted bear meat made her addicted instantly.
After eating and drinking, she got up and took some anesthetics and a dagger from the shelf to prepare for the evening hunt.
As soon as Su Ying came out of the space, she heard a scream piercing the calm night sky.
