Chapter 173 I advise you to go home now
When Xiaotuanzi and the others heard this, they felt a little depressed.
After the onlookers dispersed, the three of them remained silent. Yang Heng secretly glanced at Li Suining. He could see that the little guy was really sad.
"Uncle Hum," the little boy noticed the bearded man stealing glances at him and immediately forced a smile. "It's okay, don't be sad. We can think of a way. There's always a way."
Yang Heng was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of food before he suppressed the impulse caused by guilt in his heart.
Actually... he lied, he can ride a horse.
He could see that the little girl was really anxious to catch up with the main group, and he almost told the truth just now.
But it wasn't possible. Yang Heng felt that Bai Yu'an was right. Going to the battlefield would not be a good thing for the child.
"How about..." He hesitated and tried to test the waters, "We can't catch up with the main force anyway, so why don't Brother Qingyun take Xiao Suining back to the Imperial City? I'll figure out a way myself."
"No." Li Suining refused without hesitation.
Qingyun couldn't help but laugh. "Big Beard, you're really weird. Even if we were to abandon you, shouldn't we go after the main force? Why go back?"
"Uncle Hengheng, don't worry, we won't abandon you, don't be afraid." Little Dumpling hurriedly comforted the bearded man.
Yang Heng pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly and said nothing more.
At this moment, a hunter-like uncle suddenly came over and said in a low voice, "Actually, there is a way, but it's very difficult to walk on and a little dangerous."
The three of them's eyes lit up instantly, and they looked at each other expectantly.
The uncle felt embarrassed by their gazes and scratched his head. "There's a mountain to the east of the town. Once you cross that mountain, you'll reach the next town."
"That's great." Little Dumpling immediately clapped his hands happily, then looked at Yang Heng and said, "Uncle Hengheng, that's great."
"Yes, yes." Yang Heng nodded repeatedly, but soon realized that he shouldn't be happy with Xiaotuanzi, so he quickly lowered his head.
His mission is to scare the little dumpling back.
He thought for a moment and quickly asked, "Brother, you just said that mountain is difficult to walk on, right? And it's very dangerous?"
"Well, the mountain road is really difficult to walk on, and..." The uncle's voice unconsciously lowered a few times, "and there are poisonous snakes on the mountain, so most people in the town don't go up there very often, and don't know about this shortcut."
Yang Heng was a little excited for a moment, grinning at the little girl, "Sui Ning, did you hear that? There are poisonous snakes on the mountain, you can't go there..."
Little Dumpling frowned. Why did she feel that there were poisonous snakes on the mountain, but the bearded uncle seemed so happy?
Just as Qingyun was about to say something, the hunter added, "However, I know a safe route. You can follow me tomorrow. It shouldn't be dangerous."
"That's great." Li Suining couldn't help but cheer again. God was really helping them.
"Thank you very much." Qingyun apologized and thanked.
"Thank you." Yang Heng said with a forced smile.
Several people agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain early tomorrow morning, and the hunter left first.
Yang Heng glanced at Li Suining for a few times, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He wanted to say that the battlefield was really not fun, and there was no need for Little Dumpling to take such a big risk and commit so many sins, and there was really no need for him to go with him.
"Uncle Hehe, don't worry, nothing will happen. We will definitely catch up with Daddy." Li Suining obviously misunderstood the bearded man's thoughts again.
Qingyun shook his head helplessly.
After dark, they found an inn to stay in. Li Suining lay by the window, waiting for the stars to come out.
After leaving the General's Mansion, she was drowsy every day because of the shaking of the carriage, and she was also sick, so she hardly looked at the stars.
Tonight, she wanted to take a good look, ask if it would be dangerous to go up the mountain tomorrow, and then ask about the situation at home.
Soon, the stars came out and the little dumpling immediately perked up.
She couldn't wait and asked about the situation at home. Seeing that her two mothers, grandfather and brothers were all fine, she finally felt relieved.
Then, she asked in a baby voice, "Xingxing, are we going up the mountain tomorrow? Will we encounter any danger?"
The next moment, she saw the bearded uncle being bitten by a poisonous snake.
The little dumpling covered his mouth in fear.
The next morning, during breakfast, Li Suining whispered, "How about... we don't climb the mountain today. Let's take a carriage to the next town first, and then see if there's another shortcut."
"Why?" Yang Heng subconsciously felt that the little dumpling was starting to retreat.
As expected, Li Suining said with a worried look on his face, "It's too dangerous on the mountain. If you get bit by a poisonous snake..."
Yang Heng was instantly delighted and quickly interrupted her, saying, "Xiao Suining, if you think the poisonous snakes in the mountains are dangerous, then the battlefield will be even more dangerous. I advise you to go home now."
"No, no." Tuanzi's little head shook even more like a rattle. "I'm worried that you'll be in danger."
It's clearly an excuse!
Yang Heng immediately patted his chest and said, "I'm not afraid. I insist on going up the mountain and catching up with everyone quickly."
Then, they both looked at the third person, Qingyun, waiting for his choice.
"I agree with Xiao Suining's decision." Qingyun said without hesitation.
In fact, before he set off, Xiao Wu had instructed him that no matter what decision Miss Seven made or what outrageous order she gave, he should not ask any questions and just do as she said.
Therefore, even if Li Suining suggested that they crawl together to catch up with the main force, he would agree.
Three people, two to one, it was obvious that the bearded man's choice was useless.
However, Big Beard vaguely felt that this was a very good opportunity. Little Dumpling was afraid of poisonous snakes, so maybe he could scare her back.
He stood up quickly and said, "Since you don't want to climb the mountain, I'll go by myself. Miss Sui Ning is almost recovered now, and you don't need me anymore. So let's... go our separate ways."
"How can that be?" Little Tuanzi immediately disagreed. After all, even if they went up the mountain, the one who was bitten by the snake would be Uncle Beard. If they didn't follow, Uncle Beard would definitely die.
She puffed out her breasts and sighed dejectedly, "Well, since Uncle Hengheng insists on going up the mountain, we'll go with you."
"But," she said with a serious expression on her face, "Uncle Hum, you must be obedient and not run around. Got it?"
"Oh." In an instant, Yang Heng wavered again. This guy actually agreed to go up the mountain for him?
He subconsciously looked at Qingyun with confusion, and saw Qingyun shaking his head.
On the way, Qingyun found an opportunity to whisper a reminder to him, "Give up, you are doomed to fail!"
