EBE Chapter 148 Delay
Chapter 148 Delay
Shitou was stunned and said, "Brother-in-law, I killed someone."
"Yeah." Lu Chengjing pulled him towards Xiaohuan, his voice as usual, "You are trying to save us, you did a good job."
This sentence was like a shot of adrenaline. Shitou's pale face regained some color. He took the initiative to run over and help Xiaohuan up, and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Xiao Huan swallowed the bloody smell rising in her throat, covered her chest and shook her head, "It's okay, listen to my brother-in-law, and go quickly."
Chu Xu had originally run away with Yuanyuan in his arms, but when he saw the three men had dealt with the peddler, he hurried back with Yuanyuan in his arms.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and he asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay for now, let's go." Lu Chengjing held him, Shitou supported Xiaohuan, and they walked towards the forest together.
If we go to the village for help, we may bring trouble to the villagers. The best option at this time is to hide in the mountains.
Firstly, there are many plants and trees in the mountains and the terrain is complex. Even if the peddler's accomplices came, it would not be easy to find them.
Second... Lu Chengjing glanced at Yuanyuan. The forest was Yuanyuan's home ground. If they couldn't handle it, they could let Yuanyuan delay for a while.
Lu Chengjing reached out and held the little guy over, patted him gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Yuanyuan, can you help Daddy beat the bad guys later?"
Yuanyuan still didn't understand what was going on.
Just now, Chu Xu was worried that she would be frightened, so he kept holding her little head in his arms to prevent her from looking.
When he heard that he had to help his dad beat up the bad guys, the little guy's eyes flickered, and he nodded his head vigorously, saying "beat!"
Chu Xu tilted his head to look at the father and daughter, thinking that this scholar might have been brain damaged. It was good enough that a baby didn't hold him back, but he still wanted to deal with those assassins?
He opened his mouth to ask, but Lu Chengjing suddenly pulled him back and dodged a dart.
Dozens of men in black descended from the sky and surrounded the five people.
The peddler's accomplice arrived.
At the same time, Shang Wan and Xiao Hui followed the trail for five miles and almost reached Xiaohe Village.
There was a donkey cart parked by the dirt road. A man in gray cloth and a bamboo hat was leaning against the cart, taking off his water bag to drink water.
Shang Wan frowned slightly. Judging from the man’s figure, this man was not the fisherman.
Could it be an accomplice?
After drinking the water, the man got into the donkey cart and fed water to the three children in the cart one by one.
The children were tied up with a hemp rope, like grasshoppers, unable to move.
After drinking the water, the man covered the children's mouths again to prevent the three children from shouting and attracting other people's attention.
Suddenly, a firework exploded in the distant sky, startling the man and looking up. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but he did not delay any longer and jumped on the donkey cart to continue moving forward.
Shang Wan looked at the fireworks flashing across the sky, and his heart beat faster for some reason.
Xiao Hui seemed to sense something. He bit Shang Wan's skirt and pulled it back, making a whimpering sound in his throat.
Shang Wan reached out and patted his head to comfort him, "Something might have happened at home, let's resolve it quickly."
Xiao Hui seemed to understand what he heard. He let out a roar towards the sky and ran towards the donkey cart at a rapid speed.
The man was startled. Where did the wolf come from?
Before he could think of a way to chase the wolf away, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and saw a dark shadow flashing in the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and his vision went dark. He fell down weakly.
Shang Wan kicked him and got into the donkey cart to check on the three children.
When the children saw her, they were so excited that they cried and tears streamed down their faces.
Shang Wan untied the three people and touched their heads one by one to comfort them.
"Be good, it's okay, don't cry."
Li Xiaomei huddled in Shang Wan's arms, her body shaking uncontrollably, obviously terrified.
Yuan Lang and Erpang were no worse off. The two children huddled together, wiping their tears and sniffling their noses, their little faces red from crying.
Shang Wan had no choice but to use his best method to coax the child by giving him candies.
With the sweet candies in their mouths, the three children calmed down and stopped crying.
Shang Wan tied up the man with the hemp rope and threw him onto the donkey cart.
The children looked at the man in fear and shrank back inside.
Shang Wan comforted them: "Don't be afraid, they are tied up, I will take you home soon."
She whistled and Little Gray suddenly jumped up, causing the donkey cart to shake and scaring the children.
But after all, they were more familiar with Xiaohui, and with Furry lying in the middle, the children were not afraid of the man anymore.
Shang Wan was anxious to go back, so he stretched out his hand to grab the donkey's ears and threatened, "Run as fast as you can, or I'll roast you if you dare to kick me."
The donkey looked at her innocently. Shang Wan's figure was clearly reflected in its huge eyes. It stomped its four hooves on the spot.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." Shang Wan jumped onto the driver's seat and pulled the reins, "Go."
The donkey really kicked up its hooves and started running. It was unclear whether it was frightened by Shang Wan or by the wolf in the car.
On the other side, a group of assassins faced a large group of animals, including leopards, wolves, bears and other ferocious beasts.
Under the cover of the animals, Lu Chengjing and his four companions ran into the forest and did not stop to catch their breath until they reached the wolf's den.
Lu Chengjing patted Yuanyuan in his arms, and seeing the little guy's face turn pale, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Be good, it's okay, put it away first."
He coaxed his daughter gently and slowly pried open her clenched fists.
The bright light in Yuanyuan's eyes gradually faded away. She closed her eyes, rubbed her body in her father's arms, and fell asleep.
The little hand was raised and tightly grasped daddy's collar.
Lu Chengjing rocked her gently to make the little one sleep more comfortably.
Chu Xu was dragged along the entire time, and his clever little head had froze.
How did this scholar's leg suddenly get better? Wasn't he paralyzed?
Why did those animals suddenly rush out to bite the assassins, pretending not to see them?
Is this a wolf den? Aren't you afraid of being torn apart if you stay with a group of wolves?
There are so many questions, I don’t know which one to ask first.
"Come back to your senses, are you scared?" Shitou grabbed Chu Xu's shoulders and shook him, "How come even your eyeballs won't move?"
Chu Xu slapped his hand away and looked at the wolves that surrounded him. His hair stood on end and his voice trembled and he stuttered a little, "They, they won't eat us, will they?"
He doesn't want to die in such pain!
"No, don't worry." Seeing that he was fine, Shitou sat down on the ground. He was really exhausted from looking for people, fighting and running.
Xiaohuan was in a similar condition as him, now leaning against a tree trunk and gasping for breath.
Lu Chengjing looked around, and all he saw, besides grass, trees, and rocks, were wolves of all sizes.
The wolves were either standing or lying down, and their attitude towards them was not friendly, but neither was they hostile.
A little wolf ran over and pounced on him, wanting the roundness in his arms.
Lu Chengjing held on to the little wolf tightly and refused to let go. The little wolf pushed him a few more times and was then taken back by a female wolf.
Lu Chengjing closed his eyes and rested against the rock.
Seeing that the wolves had no intention of attacking, Chu Xu went from being nervous at first to being itchy and wanting to have some fun.
