Luo Ping retreated, Qingfeng put away his sword and returned to Bai Wutong, Bai Wutong knew her a little bit now, and asked: "Are you standing up for her and the child?" She glanced at Liniang.

Qingfeng didn't deny it.

Bai Wutong sighed, "Don't do it lightly next time, her husband is even worse than her mother-in-law, if it wasn't for the child, she wouldn't have the slightest sense of resistance at all, if you kill her mother-in-law, it will only make her worse more miserable."

Qingfeng stared at the sword, as if considering whether to kill Luo Ping as well.

Bai Wutong saw through her mind, "If you kill her husband, she will hate you to death."

Qingfeng raised his head, "So what?"

Bai Wutong understood the meaning of her words, anyway, as long as Liniang and the child live well, she is not afraid of Luo Ping.

The commander of the dark guard battalion was so naive inside that Bai Wutong had no choice but to break it into pieces and tell her: "She hates you and will try her best to kill you, or go with her husband and leave the poor child behind, and only How can a powerless woman hold a child in this troubled world and have no one to rely on, how can she live well." Liniang is not her and her.

Qingfeng lowered her eyes as if realizing something.

There were other refugees who followed them up the mountain. Seeing Qingfeng kill the old woman, everyone felt fear and numbness in their hearts.

Along the way, they have seen too many dead people.

Their own hands are not necessarily clean either.

What's more, if Bai Wutong and the others were not vigilant, none of them would survive.

The child's father felt that the old woman was self-inflicted by injuring someone first, so he brought his wife and child to Bai Wutong and the others, and said gratefully: "Thank you benefactors for your life-saving grace."

Seeing this, the other refugees also quickly thanked: "Thank you benefactors for saving your life." They are not ignorant people.

The flood is still rising, and this section of the official road is completely submerged. It is not known how long it will take until the water recedes.

Bai Wutong asked Lin Yue to take out the map and look at it, "Is there no short road?" The official road was flooded, and the other trails were too far away from their position.

Lin Yue shook his head, "This is the most detailed map my master has prepared for me. If it doesn't exist, then it really doesn't exist."

There is no road for chariots to drive,

You can only walk the mountain road.

If you want to take a mountain road, you have to abandon all large objects such as the frame of the carriage.

It is useless to bypass this flooded mountain road.

Bai Wutong also had no way to do some hidden things on the carriage.

However, there is no way to freeze here. It is a waste of food and time. Maybe you will encounter bandits and a large number of refugees who catch up.

Bai Wutong thought for a moment, pointed to the map and made a quick decision: "Take all the food and necessary clothes that you can bring, and discard the things that you can't bring. Let's take this mountain road and detour to Jiangyuan City."

Qingfeng glanced at the mountain road pointed by Bai Wutong, "There is a bandit den here."

Bai Wutong frowned and asked, "Are there many people?"

Qingfeng said: "Last year's intelligence statistics were more than a thousand people."

More than 1,000 people is really a lot, and their team has only 500 people.

If there is a horse-drawn carriage to carry things, and their martial arts skills are high, Bai Wutong is not afraid.

However, in addition to horses and livestock, such food and burdens had to be carried by hands.

Afraid of being caught off guard by the ambushing bandits, Bai Wutong looked at the map again, "Where is this road?"

Qingfeng took a look and said, "There was no bandit den last year." This year, it is uncertain.

Because today's drought is too severe, first drought and then flood, the number of people who choose to be bandits in order to survive will definitely increase.

There were no bandits on this road last year, which means that the terrain is not suitable for bandits to hide. Bai Wutong thought for a while and said, "Let's go this way." Even if there were bandits, there should be fewer.

Decided to take the mountain road, everyone packed their bags overnight, the sky was completely bright, and they set off immediately.

This mountain road is extremely difficult to walk, muddy and slippery. Children who can be tied up are tied to their parents firmly, and those who cannot be tied up are tied with safety ropes, and two adults look after them.

Bai Wutong is no better than Qingfeng in martial arts. Smelly is tied in front of his chest by Qingfeng. His two big eyes are looking around. He is very curious about the birds that happen to fly by on the tree. Soothe your weary hearts.

We walked for several hours on the rugged mountain road, picked a lot of mushrooms along the way, and planned to make mushroom pickled fish soup when we rested later.

When they finally walked down the mountain, they found that the wild land around the road had turned into a potholed swamp along with the road due to the heavy rain.

If you want to pass, the difficulty factor may be comparable to the Red Army's Long March.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Bai Wutong felt that he had made a wrong decision, and looked at Lin Yue: "This area is originally a swamp?"

Lin Yue shook his head, "The terrain of Jiangyuan City is flat. After the heavy rain, many areas are Zeguo."

In other words, it doesn't matter which way you go.

Bai Wutong said to the leader Lin Yue: "Okay then, go and let everyone tie the ropes to their bodies. Be careful when you go on the road, use sticks to test, be careful to step into the swamp, and don't fall behind. If you don't keep up, you need help." Yes, just whistle."

"Yes, ma'am."

Swamp roads are more difficult than mountain roads. You need to use a stick to explore the way every step you take, and you must move in a small and steady way.

^0^

The team moved slowly in the swamp, because of Bai Wutong's comprehensive preparations, except that the speed was slower, and they encountered two huge boa constrictors as extra meals, everything else was fine.

After walking for about an afternoon, the speed of the team became significantly slower, because walking in the swamp was too exhausting.

Bai Wutong looked forward and found that there was a swamp river formed by stagnant water in front of him, and the opposite side of the swamp river was land with shrubs.

Lin Yue said: "After crossing this swampy river, you will probably be able to go ashore."

Bai Wutong thought for a while and said: "Rest on the spot for a while, eat something to restore your strength, and we are going to cross the river."

With the ups and downs of the swamp river distribution, Bai Wutong found the narrowest place on the river surface, and there was grass in the middle to step on. After eating, he asked the team to move towards the upper reaches of the swamp river.

Don't look close, it's actually quite far away, and it took another half an hour to reach the edge of the swamp river.

They wanted to cross the river here, and the refugees who came from all directions naturally also wanted to cross the river here.

Lin Yue and Chu Tianbao led the way, with Qingfeng and Zhao Pengfei behind.

The team twisted the rope into a rope, and walked forward one by one.

Walking to the most turbulent place in the swamp river, there is no grass to step on, and the adult's legs have directly submerged the calves. Fortunately, all the food is hung on the horses.

Just as everyone in the team walked into the water, two women shouting for help rushed out from the corner of the rushing water, and rushed towards them like bowling along with the rapids.

Bai Wutong hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Stand firm! Don't let go of the rope!"
