Chapter 300: Surrounded
Zhang Zhou said anxiously, "Yuan'er, my legs are so weak that I can't run any more. You should take Feng'er and run quickly!"
Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Mom! What are you talking about! If we die, we die together! Your son will never abandon you!"
Chen Fenghe turned around and saw Zhang Yuan's wife and Zhang Zhoushi were so scared that they collapsed on the ground and couldn't move. Zhang Yuan was dragging the two of them into the mountains.
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Zhang, there might be other ambushes in the forest. We should retreat to the cave for now!"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhoushi immediately said, "Yuan'er, listen to Miss Shen! Miss Shen will never harm us!"
Zhang Yuan listened, glanced at his mother and pregnant wife, then glanced at the forest and the cave behind him. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. Mom, let's go back to the cave!"
As he said this, with the help of Shen Fenghe, he managed to drag Zhang Zhou and his wife into the cave.
Zhang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but whisper, "Please, Bodhisattva, don't let those bandits or the Northern Rong bandits find us..."
Zhang Yuan suddenly ran out of the cave without saying a word, then struggled to hold on to a big rock next to the cave, trying to move it over to block the cave entrance!
The entrance to the cave is very small, and the stone can just barely block it.
Zhang Yuan's wife and Zhang Zhou couldn't help but look horrified: "Yuan'er, you...what are you doing? Come in quickly!"
Zhang Yuan ignored them and said as he moved the stones, "Mother, Feng'er, and Miss Shen, those bandits or the Northern Rong bandits will probably find this place soon. If they find this cave, we'll be dead even if we hide inside! I'll seal the entrance, maybe I can hide it from them..."
As he spoke, the stone had already moved over and sealed the entrance to the cave.
The last ray of light was blocked by the stone, and Zhang Yuan's wife couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhang Zhou was also in tears, but she immediately scolded: "Feng'er, stop crying! If those thieves hear it, all Yuan'er's good intentions will be in vain! And it will cause Miss Shen and Miss Qin to lose their lives along with us!"
Although Chen Fenghe knew that Zhang Yuan was a kind and upright person, she never expected that at this moment, he would sacrifice himself to protect his family and unrelated people such as her and Qin Mengyue.
Although it might not be useful, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but respect him in her heart.
At this moment, the roar of a hyena suddenly came from the cave entrance, followed by the screams of people in fear.
Chen Fenghe looked through the cracks in the rocks and saw a dozen hyenas with eyes like green ghost lanterns emerging from the bushes, driving the exiled prisoners who had previously fled to the mountains back to the vicinity of the cave.
Zhang Yuan stood next to a large rock near the cave entrance, blocking the entrance with his body intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing Zhang Yuan's actions, Yuan Xun glanced at the people who were driven back. When he didn't see Zhang Yuan's family, Shen Fenghe and others, he guessed what Zhang Yuan meant. Therefore, he walked over quietly and stood in front of the stone at the entrance of the cave.
At this time, thirty or forty Beirong soldiers, armed with bows and arrows and swords, and leading hyenas, also appeared from behind the woods.
One prisoner, out of fear and desperation, suddenly gave in. He stood up abruptly and rushed towards a place where there seemed to be no hyenas or Northern Rong soldiers. However, before he could take two steps, an arrow shot out with a "whoosh" and hit him in the chest.
The prisoner fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, several hyenas rushed over and began to feast on his body.
After seeing this, everyone was already terrified and dared not run away anymore. They all sobbed in despair.
At this moment, the group of Beirong soldiers who were forming a circle suddenly separated into two sides and let a man in.
