Chapter 927 Overnight Stay Incident
After mounting the vehicle, he instructed the soldiers to put their loads on it.
A group of soldiers walked over to the carriage, and it was loaded up again.
Bai Song circled the carriage twice, and was pleased to see that the horses were well-fed and healthy.
In this way, he will also be able to ride in a carriage.
Instead of walking miserably alongside the carriage as they had done before when traveling.
He suffered terribly during those months of walking.
The blisters on my feet kept forming and bursting, and I kept rubbing them until my shoes were completely worn out.
Later, because it was so cold, his feet even got frostbite.
My feet hurt terribly with every step I took.
Just thinking about what happened before makes him feel uncomfortable.
He felt it was worth the money to travel by car and get there quickly.
Seeing that the vehicles were all loaded, he asked Yan Xu to confirm.
In addition to their own belongings, they also loaded the cart with fodder they bought from the village to feed the horses.
At this point, Uncle Wu, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, said goodbye to them.
As soon as Uncle Lao Wu said his goodbyes, many villagers' eyes welled up with tears.
Some people even tried to persuade Uncle Wu and the others to leave together.
But after taking only two steps, he was pulled back by his family.
They had tried to persuade him before at the ancestral hall, but Uncle Wu had already made his decision.
Having known each other for so many years, Uncle Lao Wu understands them, and they are also familiar with Uncle Lao Wu.
Once he makes a decision, he won't change it.
In the crowd, Lu Qingqing and her friends bowed to Uncle Lao Wu to say goodbye.
Time was of the essence, and neither side said much more.
Uncle Wu had someone put the pulley frame made by the old carpenter on the top of the wall, straighten the rope, and then start tying things up.
Lu Qingqing, Qin Lang, and the others climbed the ladder and went down the wall first, waiting for the people inside to tie their things up with ropes.
Only after hearing the deliberately lowered command from inside the wall did the groups outside simultaneously take action.
Apart from the sound of the pulleys turning and the occasional noise from the horses, the scene was unusually quiet.
Half an hour later, all the people and vehicles that needed to leave were finally moved out.
The carriage carrying Lu Qingqing and her three companions was at the front, followed by the villagers led by Sun Laohai.
Secondly, there were the soldiers led by Bai Song.
At the very end were the soldiers who had fevers and coughs.
Among these people was an additional villager, the very same Yushu who had fallen into a coma due to a fever.
Since the Elm family didn't have a carriage, they went to the White Pine family for help.
Elm Tree Mother offered to help take care of the other unconscious soldiers, and White Pine agreed.
After the line was straightened, everyone turned around in unison.
On the wall, they saw Uncle Wu waving goodbye to them.
From the ranks behind me came the sound of soft sobbing.
As the carriage moved forward, the town of Toyama behind them grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight.
In the darkness, the group walked westward for a while before turning onto a small road heading north.
After taking a detour, we continued eastward.
During this time, Sun Laohai would occasionally step forward to help give directions.
He used to be a bricklayer, traveling all over the country.
I know the roads in the area pretty well.
Because it was dark, they did not travel very fast.
Therefore, villagers pushing carts or wheelbarrows were also able to keep up.
They walked until midnight, and finally arrived at the eastern mountain where they had previously hunted.
By this time, everyone was exhausted and sleepy.
In order not to delay their journey the next day, Lu Qingqing discussed it with Bai Song and Sun Laohai and decided to rest here.
They had been to this spot at the foot of the mountain several times before, so they were quite familiar with it.
Immediately, everyone dispersed.
They were worried that lighting a fire at night would attract attention, and the temperature wasn't as cold as before.
Therefore, after stopping, none of the families lit a fire.
As usual, Lu Qingqing and the other three set up a tent next to the car.
However, now that it's warmer, the innermost layer of bedding in the tent has been removed.
Even without the blankets, the four of them can set up a tent much faster than other families.
While they lay down to rest, the soldiers and villagers were still busy.
Tonight, Bai Song arranged for soldiers to stand guard.
As usual, Lu Qingqing tied ropes with bells around the tent.
The bell will ring if it is touched.
The four of them lay down and soon fell asleep.
However, sleeping in the wild made them more cautious, and they didn't sleep very soundly.
While Lu Qingqing was still dazed, she heard the noise outside gradually subside.
At some point, the only sound in the entire camp was the wind.
In the darkness of night, everyone was asleep except for two soldiers sitting in the sheltered tent.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qingqing was awakened by a scream.
The scream was terrifying. She grabbed a long knife and went out of the tent.
At this moment, it was still dark outside.
She followed the sound of the screams.
Before they could even get there, terrified screams came from the right and the back.
Even Lu Qingqing felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Qin Lang quickly lit an oil-soaked torch.
After the fire appeared, the two found that there were no people or wild beasts around them.
Without giving it much thought, they headed straight for the spot where the sound had first come from.
As I ran over, I ran right into the person who was running out.
Lu Qingqing looked closely and realized it was the tent belonging to Manager Wu's family.
This man was none other than Manager Wu's youngest son.
When he saw Lu Qingqing, the look of horror on his face had not yet faded.
"Snake! There's a snake!"
I was bitten by a snake, is Dr. Zhuang here?
Does he have an antidote?
Will I die...?
At this point, he was extremely panicked.
Just then, Sun Yue heard the commotion and rushed over with a tube of ointment.
She grabbed Wu's youngest son, who was still struggling, and said sternly:
"I'm going to save you now, so don't move around."
If you move again, the venom will spread throughout your body, and even Hua Tuo couldn't save you!
Upon hearing this, Wu's youngest son sat firmly on the ground, not daring to move.
While examining the shape of the wound, Sun Yue asked him if he could see the snake's appearance clearly.
Shopkeeper Wu's youngest son shook his head in a panic.
"It was too dark, and I was half asleep when I felt a pain in my leg."
When I got up, the snake was already far away.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing had already taken up a torch and inspected the area around the tent.
But nothing was found in the surrounding area.
Holding a torch, she went directly to the other spot where the scream had just been heard.
At this time, torches had been lit there, and Old Man Zhuang was checking the situation.
Seeing the bitten soldier on the ground, Lu Qingqing began searching around.
They checked each tent one by one, but found nothing.
Just then, they suddenly heard a sound coming from a low-lying pile of dry grass not far behind the tent.
