The people in the mountains were all farmers, and except for a handful of strength, they had no rules when beating people. Chu Yunli carefully avoided the things they hit, and picked up the stick one at a time, just like knocking radishes in the field.
Before the three of them could react, they all rolled down. One of them, who was severely beaten, rolled several feet away and fell to the next level of forest. There was no movement for a long time. One of them was slightly lighter.
, Finally, he held on to the tree to steady his body, and saw that he was the closest to Yanghuajiao. He was about to get on again, but he caught the woman's eyes, and he panicked, so he simply let go and rolled a few more times.
Zhang's father was beaten to a bloody head. He had seen the miserable state of his son's head injury. He was afraid that he would become like that, so he did not dare to move for a while. He only stared at the woman in front of him fiercely.
There might be someone chasing after her, so Chu Yunli was particularly ruthless. Anyone who was injured would not have the strength or courage to chase her again, even if they could get up.
"If you chase me again, you will all die!"
After saying that, he flew up the mountain and ran.
Near the mountain pass, several women were frequently looking down the mountain. When they saw that the person coming up was Chu Yunli, they all expressed joy: "Here comes the pepper."
Chunhua rushed over and groped her body with a pair of hands: "Are you okay?"
"Let's go!" Chu Yunli urged, taking the lead to walk in front, but a bamboo tube was handed to her. She looked in surprise and saw that the woman standing in front of her was unfamiliar.
The woman was a little shy: "Drink some water."
In fact, when they went up the mountain together last night, Chu Yunli not only didn't know their names, he didn't even see their faces clearly. The woman in front of him had two children. The older one could keep up, but the younger one only needed a ball.
Old, probably one or two years old at most.
This water should be brought for children. People who are on the road have little chance of getting water. Chu Yunli waved his hand: "Keep it! Let's leave quickly. I knocked these down the mountain, but there must be someone chasing after them."
"
"I... just don't think I'm a burden." Seeing that she couldn't hand it over, the woman was really in a hurry. She hurriedly took back the bamboo tube, hugged the child tightly and followed her: "People in their village like boys.
The two are daughters, and I dare not leave them behind now."
Chu Yunli went to hug Caini, but Chunhua refused. She and Dong'er carried the person and walked at the front. So she simply hugged the child in the woman's arms: "You are right."
Suddenly a woman burst into tears. As she climbed up the tree by the roadside, she sobbed and said: "I also want to take care of the child...but I'm afraid that I won't be able to run away. If we are caught together, the child will also be beaten."
…”
"It's not your fault." Someone comforted me.
Just at this time, several people arrived at the mountain pass. In front of them was a path winding down from the forest, which was much wider than before.
Everyone was refreshed and saw hope instantly. The woman who was crying just now quickly wiped away her tears: "I'm selfish, but I didn't want to give birth to them. Children, don't blame me."
With that said, she took the lead to go down the mountain.
Almost all the women present escaped, but they had never seen such a flat road, and this road could be seen very far... It was different from those in the village where it turned into a cliff or no road when walking.
completely different.
Everyone saw hope. Going down the mountain was easier than going up. Almost instantly, they all started running.
They were not tired after going down the mountain, but their legs were a little sore. After half an hour, they ran until they reached the halfway point of the mountain, and then they stopped. The woman who handed Chu Yunli water was called Liao Cai. She handed the bamboo tube over and said, "Thank you for your help.
I am holding the baby, but you must drink this water, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Chu Yunli had no choice but to take a small sip after the result, and then looked at the winding mountain road: "Zhang Dahu told me to follow the direction of the river flow. If you go faster, you can reach the official position tomorrow morning.
On the road."
Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Chunhua carried Caini all the way. She and Dong'er were the most tired. At this moment, the two of them were full of excitement: "Then let's not stop, hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, he vaguely heard another shouting in the woods behind him. Several people stopped at the same time and listened carefully. Then, everyone's expressions became unhappy.
Chunhua couldn't help but said: "We are walking so fast, how can they catch up?"
Chu Yunli thought thoughtfully: "There don't seem to be many people. We should divide it into several groups and let some people follow the road directly to chase us. The rest should still be looking around in the woods behind."
In fact, on the way they came, except for the way down the mountain, which was easier to identify, the one up the mountain was really difficult. That is to say, Chu Yunli's extraordinary eyesight was able to lead them to the right path without any time at all.
delay.
"What should we do now?"
Everyone started to panic again.
"You go first, don't look back." Chu Yunli took a hoe from one of the women's hands and urged: "Let's go!"
Several people turned around repeatedly, but still ran down the mountain quickly.
Just as Chu Yunli guessed, the villagers didn't think they could find the right road, so they only asked four people to follow the road. The others were still in the woods behind.
Seeing that Chu Yunli was alone, they did not relax. You know, when they caught up with him earlier, several people were yelling at the roadside, and they all agreed that Yang Huajiao was the one who beat him.
They didn't believe it, but they were still on guard subconsciously.
The road here is relatively flat and the road is wide. It is not as crowded as before. It took Chu Yunli a lot of effort to knock down a few people. The attack was also ruthless. If one of the people inside was not treated in time, he would probably lose his life.
Chu Yunli had no regrets. Only by completely frightening them would they not dare to pursue him again.
After clearing the people away, Chu Yunli turned around and saw four or five heads behind the big tree. All of them had dull faces at the moment.
It was Chunni and the others who were still worried, so they asked a few people to leave with Caini and the child, and they came back to help. As early as when Chu Yunli took action, she had already noticed someone behind her, but she didn't take it to heart.
"Let's go."
After she had gone a long way, a few people suddenly came back to their senses. After looking at each other, they hurriedly caught up. This time, their footsteps were much lighter. Yang Huajiao could defeat four or five grown men alone, so their chances of escaping were greater.
.
Along the way, people would catch up with them from time to time. If there were fewer and fewer people chasing after them, they would get later and later. They kept on going all the way, even if they were so tired that they walked slowly, they refused to stop. They ran all day and night.
Finally, as dawn dawned on the horizon, I heard the sound of horse hooves.
horse?
Chu Yunli climbed up the tree: "There is a horse!"
The group of people were so tired that their legs were so weak that they could fall asleep standing up. Only two or three people heard the noise, but they all thought it was an illusion caused by being too tired. After hearing this, everyone suddenly became energetic, and Dong'er asked
:"real?"
"Really." Chu Yunli pointed out: "There is an official road over there. In addition to the horses that ran away, there are also horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts. There should be a house not far away."
She looked around and saw that the group of people were all in a very embarrassed state. They were not well dressed to begin with. After running around for so long, their faces and bodies were covered in dirt, and their hair was all messy, like refugees.
"Let's borrow some water from someone else and clean it up first."
They were determined to run away. Although they couldn't bring any money, they still brought the only change of clothes they had.
Without Chu Yunli's need to greet him, this person had already run in the direction she pointed and ran out of the dense forest. There was a bright light in front of him, and not far away was a spacious road.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Chunhua fell to the ground, crying and laughing, and the others were almost the same. A group of people were like crazy people, sitting, lying down, beating the ground, or hugging their heads and crying. All kinds of chaos caused passersby to look at her.
But they didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, they just vented on their own.
Chu Yunli squatted beside him, grabbing the withered grass, feeling the cool wind blowing on his face, but his heart was warm. Looking at the people and cars passing by on the official road, his chest was filled with excitement. This was the emotion of Yang Huajiao,
You know, after she was taken to the mountains, she tried her best to get down, but she could not leave the Hu family until her death.
Beside Caini cried silently: "Huajiao, can I go home?"
Chu Yunli looked sideways at her and nodded vigorously: "After washing up, they should go back to their respective homes. I will take you back to Dafeng Town first, and then go home."
"But... how can I see my parents like this?" Caini burst into tears when she said this: "They will be disappointed and sad when they see me. I... might as well be dead..."
