Chapter 596: Escape
Who doesn’t have an elder in the family? Who doesn’t have fathers and mothers? Their elderly father and mother were killed by these heartless beasts. They wanted to take revenge but they had no power. However, now that there is an opportunity, who could still bear it?
The men rushed ahead, and the courageous women followed. Bai Zhi asked Zhao Lan to take care of Ru’er, and she picked up the long sword on the ground and walked towards those people step by step.
Dozens of soldiers were surrounded by men, and the women were responsible for ‘cleaning up’ the fallen ones.
The women were ruthless and not worse than men. Especially the few women who have been ‘bullied’, and they have no soft hands. As if with the sword in their hand can make them their hearts and bodies recover from the trauma… …
At this time, the forest was full of blood and corpses. After killing the soldiers, they ran back, but the forest was covered with darkness and they couldn’t find the way out. They lost their way after running.
Bai Zhi stopped the crowd and said: “We can’t go on like this, we will exhaust ourselves before we could get out of the forest. We should take a rest first. Let’s choose a spot and set fire so that the beast will not dare to come close. Let’s go after dawn.”
Everyone was exhausted, thinking that the enemy soldiers were dead, they were not that scared. They agreed with Bai Zhi’s proposal.
The wind in the night was colder than the day time, but the heart of the people was hot. No one sleep, no one talk, everyone stayed silent all night.
At dawn, they set off again, and their spirits are much better than before.
However, they still couldn’t find a way to go back and continued to lose their way in the forest.
When two deer ran by, they chased after it to satisfy their hunger. Unexpectedly, they came out of the forest.
Outside the forest, there was a desolate valley. There was nothing but desert grass.
“Where is this?” Some people asked, but no one answered. Obviously, this was not a place they were familiar with.
After walking in the forest for four days, they have been far away from familiar places. Where is this place? Is this still Chu Country? Or the Xiye Country?
If this was the Chu Country, there was nothing to be afraid of, but if it was the Xiye Country, what should they do?
Bai Zhi said to everyone: “There are so many of us. If we walk together, we will be found out easily. If this is still the Chu Country, then it’s good. But if it’s the Xiye Country, we will be in danger. I suggest we go separately. The smaller the number in the group, the better.”
Everyone has no opinion, so many people walk together, it is indeed very easy to be found. It’s good for everyone to walk separately.
Bai Zhi looked at the sun up in the sky to discern their current position. Although it might not be too accurate, the north and south should not be wrong.
“Let’s go south!” Bai Zhi said to Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan had no opinion, she listened to her daughter in everything. Hu Changlin and Zhou Xiaofeng nodded their head.
Ru’er pulled Bai Zhi’s sleeve: “Sister Bai, where is my mother? I want to be with my mother.”
Bai Zhi crouched down and said to Ru’er: “Ru’er, your mother went to find your father to come and save us. Let’s go to find a place to sleep and eat. Your mother and father will find you soon.”
As soon as Ru’er heard this, she immediately smiled and said: “Father will come too? That’s good, I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
Bai Zhi touched her head, her heart became sour. Whether they could come, or when they would come, she didn’t know… …
