Xiaobao fainted, and Chu Yuan also let go of the hand that bound Chu Qing.

Just now, Xiaobao's madness made Chu Qing almost collapse. She rushed over and snatched the knife from Xiaobao's hand as if crazy. She didn't want Xiaobao to turn into a murderous maniac.

Gan Lai was afraid that Xiaobao would lose his mind and hurt Chu Qing, so he hugged her tightly and said, "I'll go, I'll go, you wait!"

Just like that, Gan Lai left Chu Qing to Chu Yuan to look after, and went to find Xiaobao himself.

She is strong and fast, and she is not here to seize the knife, she is here to help Xiaobao.

These people deserve to die, Xiaobao did the right thing!

Xiaobao fainted, and Gan Lai handed him over to Lao Yu. Then he punched him, and with just one punch, the gangster's head was shattered with half of his neck, and his brains were scattered everywhere!

"You!" Lao Yu stamped his feet: "You should be able to survive! You have to know who these people are, right?!"

Gan Lai: "No matter! I promised Xiaobao that I would beat him to death for Xiaobao!"

After saying that, Gan Lai wiped his hands on the dead man's sleeve in disgust and walked back to Chu Yuan.

It would have been better if I had held the vegetable dumpling just now. The blood was all on my hands.

"Come on, there are still a few people here who can breathe!" Lao Zhao shouted.

Xiaobao killed those who tried to escape but could not escape. There were still a few people on the ground who were seriously injured and unable to move. At this moment, Lao Zhao and the others gathered them together.

These few are dying soon, so we need to ask questions as soon as possible.

Lao Zhao also noticed that they were dressed differently and had different weapons. He was afraid that they would emit smoke too quickly, so he interrogated them together with a few people.

The dying man longed for life more than ever. Although the gangsters were furious, the information they gave was enough for everyone to figure out what was going on.

It's a pity that they thought they would get treatment if they spoke out, but they were so seriously injured that some died before they could finish speaking, and the remaining two looked like they wouldn't survive tonight.

How to treat their injuries in the wilderness?

Lao Yu took a dozen people to the opposite hillside to check, and Lao Zhao led everyone to treat the wounded.

The scattered snow had formed into large pieces and fell to the ground, hiding the bright red color almost without leaving a trace.

The guard boys of the Chu family were covered with white quilts and had already slept under the snow.

The boy who survived had tears mixed with snowflakes and condensed on his face by the cold wind.

Old Zhao sadly counted the number of people. Of the forty guards and twenty-three shop boys, only fifteen were still alive, and they were all covered with scars.

"Fortunately, the elders and the younger ones are all fine, otherwise the boss wouldn't be able to explain to others." Chu Yuan said quietly.

This is true.

Let’s not talk about others, just Huang Zhong and You Zhenghang. If something happened to these two people, Chu Qing would really not be able to explain it to others.

"This is an accident, no one expected it, alas." Lao Zhao said.

In fact, Lao Zhao also knows that such words are useless. If something happens to you, you just can't get rid of it. But if you don't say it out, you will be blocked.

"MD! The Meng family is too rampant!" Chu Yuan scolded.

According to the confessions of those bandits, they were hired by a group of people who were ambushing on the hillside to pretend to be mountain bandits. And that group of people were employed by the Meng family in Jiangnan.

It goes like this:

The Dong Lun Kingdom went to war with Daxuan and was defeated. Several low-level Dong Lun generals who saw the opportunity deserted with their followers.

After the two countries ceased to exist, they became a gangster. In the past few years, some guards from the Donglun royal family who had escaped with their lives joined them. At the same time, they also recruited some refugees for their driving.

Because they are all gangsters, they have no choice but to gather in the mountains.

This area was the mountain range at the junction of Xinlunzhou and southern Jizhou. There were many forests and animals, making it easy for hunting. The biggest danger to survival was the animals in the mountains.

But they also wanted to contact the outside world and were afraid of being discovered, so they pretended to be bandits and intercepted supplies from passing caravans to supplement their needs.

Not long ago, when they went down the mountain to try their luck, they found fifty or sixty people hiding horses in the forest, so they caught them. They wanted to search for all their money and then take the horses as their own and kill them.

Unexpectedly, the leader among them asked to see the bandit leader, saying that there was a big deal to be done.

Then, the leader told the bandit leader that a large caravan would pass by in a few days. If the owner of the caravan was killed, the owner would give them a large sum of money and even the caravan's goods would belong to them.

The bandit leader took the leader's waist tag and hand stamp, which was the symbol of the Jiangnan Meng family, so he believed what they said, but demanded that the money go to him, and these people had to follow suit.

In this way, the two groups came out of the cave with a total of 150 people to ambush Chu Qing's convoy.

When Lao Zhao counted the number of people, there were not 150 people, so Lao Yu led the team to the hillside to check and pursue.

As a result, Lao Yu found four people whose heads were smashed by Gan Lai Cai Dunzi and ten people who were shot by Chu Qing in the bushes on the hillside.

Lao Yu did not dare to go deep into the mountains. Firstly, it was already dark, and secondly, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Going deeper into the mountains, they would not be able to resist if there were still bandit dens inside.

We couldn't stay here for long, so Lao Yu and Lao Zhao gathered all the horses that could move, reloaded the goods, and put the injured brothers into the carriage.

Just eat and drink while walking. The snow is so heavy that it will be even harder to walk if you don’t walk.

Xiaobao was unconscious in the carriage, and Chu Qing held Xiaobao's hand and stayed with him without blinking. He didn't say anything or move, and he didn't eat or drink.

Huang Zhong and Master Lu couldn't stand it, so they didn't even crowd into the carriage, so they got off and walked.

Outside the carriage, Chu Yuan asked Lao Zhao: "Why are you here?"

Lao Zhao said: "The boys went to the racecourse to go home with us to celebrate the New Year. They said they wanted to hold a group wedding. They wanted to ask the boss for permission and make it fun and lively during the New Year."

Lao Yu added: "We spent one day at the racecourse and didn't know much about the outside news. When the boys came back and told us that they were throwing silk and food, we knew that the boss had done so many things this year. We were worried that someone would

revenge."

Lao Zhao: "Yes, the boss is young, and you are not very useful. Our family has developed too fast in the past few years, and other families are eating the dirt at the end of the year. Our family celebrates the New Year, won't we be hated by others?

Besides, the boss wrote a letter saying that he would come back later this year. This night, he would not have a companion on the road, which would make things more likely to happen, so we headed all the way here to welcome him.

Anyway, this is the only way the carriage team can go, and it won’t go astray.”

Zhuo Yao looked back at the convoy. The first half of the carriages were full of wounded people, and the second half of the trucks contained the bodies of his brothers. He couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, you are here. We really can't protect the boss anymore."

Chu Yuan also said: "Xiaobao collapsed, and the boss is almost gone too."

In the middle of the night, the convoy entered the boundaries of Jizhou and found an open space near a village to camp.

That's about it, light a fire, make something hot to eat, and go on your way again at dawn.

Chu Qing came out of the carriage. Everyone looked at the haggard boss and hesitated to speak.

Xiaobao hasn't woken up yet.

Everyone formed a circle around the carriage and lit a fire in the middle.

Chu Qing climbed into the truck, lifted up the white cotton cloth, and gently stroked the young, lifeless faces one by one. He seemed to be mumbling something, but no one could hear him.

She thought she was very close to these people, but she didn't expect that they were even closer to her, so close that they would protect her with their lives.

After a long time, Chu Qing said goodbye to the forty-eight young men one by one.
