The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 349 Doubts

"call out"

"call out"

"call out"

The sounds of more than a dozen bows and arrows were heard, and both big men fell to the ground.

The villains who were so fierce just now were now turned into blood gourds and lay on the ground like two hedgehogs.

"Zhao Yun. Take a few people up there to take a look."

King Rui ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen soldiers came forward and followed Zhao Yun towards the mountain.

Not long after, Zhao Yun came down the mountain quickly with a handful of arrows in his hand and five people following behind him.

"Brothers, your archery skills are too accurate. You didn't leave a single person alive. Every arrow hit the vital point!"

He said as if complaining.

Everyone stepped forward, took their arrows from Zhao Yun, wiped them and said, "We were careless, we were careless.

Aren't you afraid they'll run away? You've forgotten to leave any of them alive."

"But there's no point in keeping it!"

All the arrows in Zhao Yun's hand were taken away. He grabbed a handful of snow, rubbed it, wiped the blood off his hands, and then said: "These guys talk in a huluhuhuhu way. We can't understand what they say."

"That's right! Who can understand their bird language?"

Zhao Yun pointed to the people he had brought back and said to King Rui, "Your Majesty, these people said they were from the village ahead. They went hunting in the mountains and encountered barbarians from the northern border, so they were driven here.

If your Highness has anything you want to ask, you may ask them. "

King Rui looked at the few people, all of whom looked pale and thin. They looked like they hadn't had a full meal for a long time, so he asked:

"Which village are you from?"

"We are from the Wild Boar Valley Village ahead."

The middle-aged man among them answered with a trembling voice.

"How far is the village from here?" King Rui asked again.

"It's more than thirty miles!"

"You just said that you went to the mountains to hunt, so you were targeted by these people?"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man's face became paler as he spoke.

The person in front of them clearly saved them, but the sense of oppression from him was so strong that people didn't even dare to look up at him.

"Nonsense!"

King Rui suddenly shouted.

The middle-aged man knelt down immediately, "Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life! What I said is all true, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Zhao Yun also heard the problem and asked on behalf of King Rui: "They are all tall and strong, and there are two children among the five of you. How is it possible that you have chased them for thirty miles without catching up?"

The middle-aged man quickly explained: "I was originally a mountain hiker. All year round, I made a living by hunting and digging some medicinal herbs in the mountains, so I am quite familiar with the mountains around here.

I knew where people could hide and where there were paths, so I led them all the way here, hiding as we ran.

If Da Mao and Er Mao hadn't accidentally exposed their whereabouts today and been discovered by them, they would not have been able to find us until now.

I originally thought that after passing the hill ahead and following the cave inside the mountain, I would be able to get rid of them."

King Rui followed the direction of his finger and looked at Damao and Ermao.

The two children were not tall, with thin necks and big heads, and their faces were covered in a mixture of mud and sweat.

At the same time, King Rui also noticed the clothes they were wearing.

The dress was long and baggy, almost reaching the knees.

Although it had been scraped into strips, the material looked to be top-quality Shu brocade, which was definitely not something they could afford.

"Whose clothes are they wearing?"

"Yes," the middle-aged man felt a little guilty, but still said, "It was that group of thieves."

After saying this, he waved his hands quickly, as if afraid that King Rui would misunderstand him, "We are definitely not in the same group with them.

Once, Damao and Ermao hid in a tree hole and were almost found by them.

But those people sat in front of the tree hole for a long time and didn’t find the two children. ”

When I left, I forgot about the package under my butt.

These are the two pieces of clothing inside.”

Seeing that King Rui did not blame him, he slowed down his tone and defended himself, "These two pieces of clothing are worth a few copper coins. When the children saw them, they immediately put them on, saying that they would keep them for when they get married in the future."

"From what you said just now, you were hiding in the mountains and fleeing all the way. Those three people didn't discover your whereabouts until this morning."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man was somewhat pleased with himself.

Zhao Yun and King Rui looked at each other and felt that things were not that simple.

But now all three barbarians have been killed.

King Rui thought for a moment and said to Zhao Yun, "Since they live in the village ahead, let's take them part of the way. When we get to Xuancheng, let them go home on their own."

"it is good!"

Zhao Yun agreed.

They marched for more than ten days, always taking roads away from towns.

Except for the first few days when they were able to see people, this was the first time in the last seven or eight days that they had seen the people of Daliang.

In this place, as long as you are from Daliang, you are considered a fellow countryman.

When we met, I couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness.

Zhao Yun arranged several people in the infantry team, and asked the fireman for a few steamed buns left over from the morning, and gave one to each of the five people. Then he returned to the front of the team to report the situation to King Rui.

“I have already made arrangements with these people. Once they reach Yezhugou Village, they can leave on their own.

As for those barbarians, someone has already dug a pit and buried them.

The soil here is frozen so damn hard.

If it weren't for the sake of avoiding trouble, they should have been left dead in the wilderness to feed the wolves."

King Rui still felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he had no idea for the moment, so he said, "Since everything has been arranged, let's set off quickly.

We have delayed our departure and will have to walk a few more miles at night."

"Don't worry, my lord. We brothers are well aware of this. Haven't we been walking faster these past few days? Let's walk faster today."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he turned around and conveyed King Rui's intention.

Not long after, the speed of the entire team was indeed much faster than before.

Everyone's attention was focused on walking and no one had any objections, except for Ye Xinran's carriage, where there was a small dispute.

"Miss Lu, my feet are all healed now. I can't stay in the car any longer. I have to get off."

Shunzi was so anxious that he stuttered.

"The new flesh on my feet has just grown back. It hurts a bit to walk now. It's better to rest for a few days."

Ye Xinran tried to persuade him kindly.

"no, I'm fine!"

Shunzi blushed and refused, "I have troubled Miss Lu for so long, I really don't dare to bother her any more. Besides, if I sit in the car, Guard Ding can't get in, and I can't take her seat."

Seeing Shunzi looking embarrassed and anxious, Ye Xinran knew that forcing him to stay would only make him feel uncomfortable, so she agreed, "Okay, then you go back to the team first.

If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me immediately."
