Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 45

The family does what they say.

Mrs. Zhao packed the things that Su Buwei had sorted out before into the space, and checked if there was anything missing in the yard before leaving.

After confirming that there was no problem, Mrs. Zhao specially left the rent money for the yard next month in the main room as a thank you to the owner of the yard for the durability of the house. After such a heavy rain, only the roof had holes.

Su Yuanshan and Zhao greeted Su Bujing and others and entered the warm and sturdy carriage.

Su Yuanshan sat on the edge of the carriage, flicked his riding whip with his right hand, and the carriage drove quietly towards the outside of Bai County.

"We have found a relatively hidden road in the past few days, and we are familiar with the terrain." Su Yuanshan drove seriously.

"That's good!" Mrs. Zhao said as a cold wind blew in her face, making her shrink back from the cold.

"Auntie, this is for you! It's very warm when worn around your neck!"

Su Buying opened the carriage curtain and handed the sachet to Zhao.

These two sachets were specially reserved for her mother-in-law and her eldest brother, and her eldest brother had just put them on.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the small sachet in her hand in surprise, pinched it curiously, and put it on her neck suspiciously. She was immediately shocked.

The chill all over my body disappeared instantly, replaced by fluffy warmth, as if wandering in the arms of spring.

That kind of warmth from the inside out cannot be compared to burning a stove or wearing thick clothes.

Mrs. Zhao happily smelled Su Bujing and said, "My dear, my dear! It's amazing! With this thing, we won't be afraid of the cold anymore!"

"Okay, let's get in quickly before the rain pours into the car later."

"We are about to leave Bai County. I will speed up later, so sit still!" Su Yuanshan reminded.

Su Bujing returned to the carriage and sat lazily on the soft fur mattress.

The mattress in the carriage was thickly padded, and the carriage was not very fast, so even if the carriage traveled on a muddy and uneven road, it was not too bumpy.

There was a red clay stove fixed in the corner of the carriage, which was currently boiling water.

Su Buwei and Su Buyou had fallen asleep together.

Su Buyi had just put the blanket on Su Buying's body, when suddenly, the whole carriage shook violently.

Su Bujing was so shaken by the jolt that she almost fell out of the carriage, but fortunately Su Buyi caught her in time.

Su Buwei and Su Buyou were also shaken awake. They bumped into each other, holding their foreheads and noses and crying out in pain.

Su Bujing thought the car was driving out of Bai County, so Dad suddenly accelerated.

But at this moment, Su Bujing heard the sharp sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air.

"whoosh"

An iron arrow with feathers shot straight into the carriage wall.

Su Yuanshan and Zhao who were sitting on the edge of the car were frightened and looked around in shock.

At this time, a warning sound came from behind the carriage: "Stop the carriage in front of you. There is an order from above. Starting today, Bai County can only enter and exit!"

"Those who violate the order, die!"

They are officers and soldiers from Bai County!

When Su Yuanshan heard this, not only did he not stop, but he tightened his riding crop and slapped the horse's butt hard.

The horse screamed in pain, kicked its hooves, and rushed forward quickly.

When the officers and soldiers of Bai County saw this, they picked up their weapons and chased after him on horseback without saying a word.

Suddenly, Su Bujing and others' carriage was followed by five or six Bai County officers and soldiers.

They chased and killed them with bows and arrows.

Fortunately, the carriage was traveling against the wind, and coupled with the heavy rain and strong winds, most of their arrows missed. "Jing Niang, go in and take care of the children! It's enough for me to be alone outside the car!" Su Yuanshan shouted these words against the wind, pulled the horse's head, and fled towards the path he had originally found.

Just by opening his mouth, Su Yuanshan drank a lot of rain, which shows how fast the carriage was running.

At this time, the carriage was already in chaos.

The blankets stacked in the carriage were scattered messily, and the water boiled in the red clay stove splashed to the floor, soaking the mattress in the corner.

Su Bujing wanted to press her feet against the wall of the carriage to steady her body, but the carriage was a bit big and her feet couldn't reach it.

Mrs. Zhao quickly hugged Su Bujing in her arms, grabbed the edge of the carriage and threw herself on the carriage.

Su Buyi and Su Buwei also protected Su Buyu closely.

The window curtains of the carriage blew loudly into the carriage, and a lot of rainwater poured in, making the entire carriage become damp.

Su Bujing felt that his hair was blown close to his scalp by the cold wind. His face was numb and he did not dare to move even a little bit.

At such a speed, if you accidentally fell off the carriage, you would be half dead or half disabled.

They had walked this road many times before, so they knew the surrounding terrain very well.

Su Bujing estimated the time and saw that a little further ahead was the thorn forest.

"Dad! There is a forest of thorns ahead. Remember to turn around!" Su Bujing's words were drowned in the noisy rain and wind, making them almost inaudible.

There was no other way, so Su Bujing could only shout again at the top of his lungs, until his throat went numb.

Su Yuanshan shouted "Don't worry" loudly, and then rushed forward.

The officers and soldiers of Bai County who were chasing behind him were still in hot pursuit. The horses under them were strong and powerful, and they were about to catch up.

At this moment, Su Yuanshan suddenly turned his horse's head, and the carriage made a sharp turn and drove diagonally to the left, avoiding the thorn forest in front of him.

Then the carriage didn't stop at all and ran straight to the left.

The officers and soldiers behind were unfamiliar with the terrain here and the light was dim and unclear.

So they didn't see clearly that there was a dense and dangerous thorn forest in front of them, waiting for them with open arms.

By the time they saw clearly, it was already too late to rein in the horse.

The horse was scratched all over by the sharp thorns and jumped up in pain.

Due to inertia, the officers and soldiers on horseback fell straight into the thorn forest without any preparation.

For a moment, the screams were even louder than the rain.

The carriage quickly passed through the thorn forest and flowed towards a pool of water. The horse's hooves splashed water, frightening the birds in the trees.

While driving, Su Yuanshan kept looking back. When he noticed that the pursuers were no longer behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his riding crop, turned a corner, and headed southwest towards the road he had originally found.

In fact, if those officers and soldiers still dare to chase after them, there is still a dangerous place in front of Jishui Pond...

Alas, what a pity!
The strong wind blowing in from the window made Su Bujing narrow her eyes and washed away the regret in her eyes.

Perhaps because of the aftermath of the disaster, Su Bujing's mood is very complicated now.

This is the third time their family has fled.

From the initial massacre of Sujia Village, to the occasional encounter with rebels in Qianhua Town, to today's forced conquest in Yongzhou...

In just a few months, they had already escaped three times.

Is this world already so difficult?
Where will they go next?
According to my brother's dream, will he really be able to settle down completely when he goes to the south?

Su Bujing shook his head, not thinking about it that much.

Anyway, as long as the family is together, wherever they are is her home.
