Jiaohua

Chapter 140
Although the inside of the double carriage is very wide and there is enough room for movement, this has also become a disadvantage, because it is too big, and it is not easy to walk on the path.

The carriage was bumpy and uncomfortable, Liu Teng, the steward, really had to be thankful that he didn't eat anything today, otherwise he would definitely vomit non-stop.

After making a difficult U-turn, he headed back the same way, but without taking a cup of tea, the person in the lead came back and told him that he was lost.

"Trash!" Liu Teng yelled directly in the carriage, "It's only been so far, and you can't see the way clearly again. Didn't you say that you are so familiar with this area that you can walk with your eyes closed!"

The leader bit the bullet and said, "The sky is gloomy, and the water is too strong. Many roads have been washed away..."

The more I walk forward, the more I feel that something is wrong. The surroundings are familiar but unfamiliar, especially the lake that appears over there, or is it... a pit?

Moreover, the surrounding mountains seem to have changed, and they don't look like they were washed away by wind and rain.

In short, I didn't see it before I came, and it is very likely that I really went the wrong way.

"Then what do we do now? I'm lost again, what do you think?" Liu Teng scolded.

It is absolutely unbearable to continue to turbulent like this, and seeing the situation of the sky, there will be heavy rain soon.

"The subordinates don't know," said the leader, "How about, my lord, you can make the decision."

"Trash!" Liu Teng cursed again, let go of the hand holding the curtain, and said, "You can figure it out, I will get off the carriage in half an hour, otherwise you don't have to keep your head."

The rain-soaked car curtains hung down and felt sticky, so Liu Teng took a dry cloth and wiped it again and again, feeling extremely angry.

The leader had no choice but to secretly scolded his mother several times, and replied, "Yes."

The horse team started again, walked east, then north, turned south, and then west.

After being confused in this area for a long time, the leaders finally regained their sense of direction.

"That should be the village we saw when we came!" A leader said happily.

At that time, I passed by here far away, and I didn't want to come to stop. What I wanted was to speed up and rush to another village ahead.

The companion held up the torch and faintly shone towards the front left. The steep slope and the river there seemed to be very similar.

"Then hurry up!" cried the companion.

The horse team set off towards the slope, but the road became more and more difficult.

Several horses couldn't walk anymore, and they were struggling, but they didn't want to go up.

The few people who took the lead had no choice but to come down, holding the torch in one hand and pulling the reins in the other.

A few other people held thick branches in their hands and tested the depth of the puddle in front of them.

When we reached a heavily sloped soil step, the branches hit a large obstacle, and the pile was as high as half a person.

Everyone was annoyed, and the leader had to go back to the carriage: "My lord, the road ahead is blocked, and it is difficult for your carriage to pass."

"Dig it!" Liu Teng shouted without thinking.

"My lord, this..." said the leader in embarrassment.

Liu Teng frowned, opened the front curtain, glanced at the rushing water under the carriage, and said, "Then what should I do? I'll go down?"

"It can only be...you come down."

Liu Teng raised his head, looked uphill with the light of the surrounding fire, paused, and walked out of the carriage impatiently.

The coachman also got down, pulled the carriage, and led it to the other side.

"Is there a place to stay up there?" Liu Teng asked.

He was already standing in the water, pulling up his pants in vain.

The water was up to the knees, and the mud and rocks rushed down into the pants and shoes, making it uncomfortable.

"Yes, my lord." The subordinate replied.

"If you go out from the previous section tomorrow and you can see the place where you said before, see how I will deal with you!" Liu Teng shouted.

Although the sky is dark now, it is still too early to stay and rest.

Thinking of wasting another half a day, Liu Teng was full of anger.

………………

"Can these things stop them?" Zhi Changle asked the big man next to him in a low voice.

The big man was carrying a short knife on his back. Hearing this, he glanced at Zhi Changle and said in a low voice, "Are you here to ask me?"

Zhi Changle continued to push rocks and soil into the flowing water, and said, "It's just a question, why don't you ask?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked around in the darkness: "I don't know where Ah Li has gone, where is Ah Li?"

"She went there just now." The big man pointed to the other side.

Zhi Changle looked over, there was nothing but the river.

No, Zhi Changle suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring straight there, wondering if he was wrong.

A small figure was soaking in the river, holding a big rock beside the river with both hands, watching for something.

"What is this Ali going to do..." Zhi Changle asked in a low voice.

After the big man pushed a large piece of mud and vegetation into the water with both hands, he also looked over. His eyesight was not as good as Zhi Changle's, and he couldn't see anything.

At this time, the group of people below was about to come up from a distance, holding the horses in their hands, and it was really strenuous.

Zhi Changle looked back to the river over there, and suddenly found that the little figure was gone.

"Where is Ah Li!" Zhi Changle called softly.

The big man beside him ignored it, continued to push things, and turned his body slightly, in a posture where he could hold the dagger behind him with his backhand at any time.

Zhi Changle looked at the group of people below, and then at the river over there. Although his hands never stopped, he was really anxious.

Although it is difficult for these people to walk, they are still moving forward. The distance is only fifty feet, and they will be able to come here in a short time.

Thinking of the piles of corpses without skulls that he saw before, Zhi Changle even felt trembling with his hands pushing the stones.

The flames got closer and closer as they walked forward.

The big man got up from the ground, lowered his back, and said, "Let's go."

Zhi Changle looked at the river over there again, feeling uneasy, and when he was about to climb up, suddenly there was a sharp cry of a horse from below.

But seeing the last horse standing up, struggling like crazy, the man who was holding it hurriedly tried to stabilize it, and was almost thrown away.

The horses in front were also frightened, their hooves were stepping back and forth, restless.

"What happened!" Liu Teng shouted back.

The man was still calming the horse, and before he could answer, he heard the driver's exclamation from behind.

The coachman sitting in the carriage was startled by the sound of the steed above him, and was about to lean over to look up, but a girl swam out of nowhere in the water. He was stabbed in the thigh and took advantage of the pain to push him into the water.

The speed was so fast that it was done in one go, so fast that he didn't even care about resisting.

Rolling into the water with a plop, he finally got up in embarrassment, but the cry of a horse came from his ears.

He opened his eyes wide, watching the carriage running away along the water.

This, what's the situation?
Their carriage was snatched away right under their noses?
