"Okay, I'll take you this way."
Jiang Zhongwen took Jiang Li around to the other side, planning to go down the mountain from another road.
For safety reasons, Jiang Zhongwen always took remote paths.
These paths had hardly been walked on before, and were overgrown with weeds. Sometimes there was even no road at all, so they had to force their way through.
In such a harsh environment, the two of them are still holding on in order to survive.
Shortly after they left, eight people divided into two teams, each with a dog, one of whom was holding a hunting rifle and the others were holding knives.
In order to pursue Jiang Zhongwen, they spent a lot of money this time.
One team pursued the enemy on the mountain, while the other team guarded the exit at the bottom of the mountain.
Although they are just local dogs, they are tall and strong, and each one of them looks extremely ferocious with bared teeth.
One of the dogs was still drooling and started barking wildly as soon as it was released.
Under the guidance of the local dog, they quickly found the place where Jiang Li had hidden for the first time.
They searched in the same place for a while, and soon found a new direction.
The local dogs kept barking and followed the scent of Jiang Zhongwen into the deep mountains and forests.
Jiang Zhongwen took Jiang Li around the mountain and they were already a long distance away from the exit of Jiangjia Village.
"Let's go down the mountain from here."
Jiang Zhongwen was leading the way. The mountain was covered with thorns, and his hands and legs were scratched with several bloody wounds.
He endured the severe pain and cleared the obstacles on the road for Jiang Li. Although Jiang Li was walking behind him, he was not injured.
Jiang Li nodded. At first she had some sense of direction, but gradually she got lost in the mountains.
If Jiang Zhongwen hadn't led the way, she wouldn't have known where she was, let alone which way to go down the mountain.
"There are a lot of thorns here, so you have to be careful."
Jiang Zhongwen had only taken a few steps when several bloody cuts appeared on his arms.
He thought that this was not going to work, so he quickly climbed up the tree and broke off two branches before it got dark.
"Here, use this to protect yourself and try not to get hurt."
"I see you're seriously injured. You should be more careful."
Jiang Li couldn't bear it any longer and said something more. Jiang Zhongwen smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay for me to have thick skin. You're a young girl with delicate skin. If you get scratched, it will definitely hurt for several days."
Jiang Zhongwen used branches to sweep away the thorns, which effectively avoided injuries.
Every time he would push the thorns aside so that Jiang Li would not be scratched when passing through.
Because they had to take care of Jiang Li, the two of them moved very slowly.
Jiang Zhongwen could still bear it, but Jiang Li couldn't bear it anymore because of breast engorgement.
"Jiang Zhongwen, don't worry about me. I'm fine with my injuries. We need to get down the mountain quickly. It will be troublesome if it gets dark soon."
Jiang Li glanced at the gloomy sky. Although he didn't bring a watch, he estimated that it was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
At this rate, they wouldn't be able to get down the mountain until 7 p.m.
The mountains are different from the villages. As soon as night falls, all kinds of jackals, tigers, leopards, cows, ghosts and monsters come out.
The injuries on your body are a small matter, but losing your life is a big matter.
Before Jiang Li transmigrated into the book, he was also a child who grew up in the countryside. He came to the city through his own efforts and moved towards success step by step.
She can endure hardships and is not afraid of getting hurt.
"But it would be really painful if you were scratched by the thorns. Can you bear it?"
"I can do it. There's nothing I can't stand."
Jiang Li was firm in his attitude, and Jiang Zhongwen nodded and quickened his pace.
But it was too late to speed up at this time, because the people in the quarry were already approaching them quickly with their local dogs. Jiang Li could vaguely hear the barking of dogs from a long distance away.
"Did you hear that noise? They're coming!"
Jiang Li glanced back and could vaguely see through the dense forest several people leading a dog approaching them quickly.
The local dog would stop from time to time, smell the ground, and quickly find their location.
There is still some distance between them, but according to the current situation, they will be caught up soon.
With the help of the local dogs, it would be impossible for them to hide even if they wanted to.
The only way out now is to keep moving forward. Only by going down the mountain and walking among the crowd can we be truly safe.
Now they were in a dilemma, and Jiang Zhongwen's forehead was sweating from nervousness.
Based on their current speed, it would take at least thirty to forty minutes to get down the mountain.
If they discovered the local dogs now, they would definitely be shot to death with two shots.
Although the opponents Jiang Li had encountered before were powerful, they were all unarmed, without knives or hunting rifles.
Although there were not many people in the quarry, they were fully armed and had a local dog to help, which made the situation a bit tricky.
Jiang Li's mind was working rapidly. It was impossible to climb the mountain under the current circumstances, unless they could make the local dog's nose inoperable for a short period of time. As long as the local dog couldn't find them, they still had a chance to escape.
When Jiang Li was a child, his family was poor and he never had a dog, so he didn't know much about the habits of dogs.
She squeezed her palms, and the chili powder packet she had been holding in her hands slightly stung her palms.
Jiang Li's eyes flashed. Chili powder has a pungent smell that can make people's eyes red and sneeze uncontrollably.
A dog's nose is so sensitive, what will happen if it smells chili powder?
As soon as Jiang Li came up with this idea, he immediately became excited.
Now that I'm forced into a desperate situation, I can only try this method to save my life.
Jiang Li covered his mouth and nose and gently squeezed the chili powder bag.
A pungent and acrid smell permeated the surrounding air.
Jiang Zhongwen, who was closest to Jiang Li, was quickly affected. His face suddenly turned red and he had to cover his mouth and nose forcibly to hold back his cough.
Jiang Zhongwen turned around and looked at Jiang Li in surprise, and Jiang Li blinked at him.
Jiang Zhongwen immediately understood that the smell of his own chili powder just now must have been the work of Jiang Li.
"Hurry, let's get out of here!"
At Jiang Li's urging, Jiang Zhongwen sped up again.
The smell of chili powder was really unbearable. His mind was blank and he just wanted to run away quickly.
After they walked for a while, Jiang Li secretly added some chili powder.
After learning from the last lesson, Jiang Zhongwen was much more vigilant this time. As soon as he smelled the chili powder, he immediately covered his mouth and nose.
Jiang Li put chili powder on the road three times in a row. Thinking that it was enough, she decided to hide with Jiang Zhongwen first.
She looked around carefully and soon found a dense forest.
"Come on, let's go over there!"
“But you can’t get down the mountain over there!”
It was getting dark, and Jiang Zhongwen was becoming more and more anxious.
"Never mind. We can't outrun them if we lead the way. Let's hide first."
