After this night, no one wanted to sleep at all and sat down to hold a meeting.
"Don't be afraid. This fierce battle tonight is necessary. They want to rob us and have already started to kill us. This is unavoidable." Tang Youyou comforted everyone.
Xu Da thought for a moment and said, "Although we didn't kill them directly, many of them are now seriously injured. I think there is only one way out for them to die!"
At this moment, Cui and Yu looked at each other, hugged each other and cried: "Wuwuwu..."
Tang Youyou patted the two of them to comfort them. She could empathize with them very well. The first time she killed someone, she was also scared, helpless, panicked, and entangled.
"We've been walking for seven days, and we're still a thousand miles away from Nanzhou! If we take the official road, we can get there in more than 20 days, but for water, we have to cross mountains and rivers, which will take longer!"
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Butcher Zhang said without hesitation: "As long as we can get there safely, it doesn't matter if we go a little slower!"
Xu Da also agreed: "That's right, this is the only solution!"
Carpenter Zhang nodded and said, "Thanks to you, Miss Tang, for all this journey. We will listen to you in everything!"
Yao Cuihua looked at Tang Youyou: "Yes, Youyou, if you say go east, we will never go west!"
Tang Wen felt sorry for her: "Sister, you are the hardest-working person in the team. You won't be needed to do any work in the future!"
She chuckled and said, "I have to clear the way!"
He looked at the crowd and said, "The children have been frightened tonight. Let's leave quickly before it gets dark!"
So everyone started packing their bags again.
She slapped her forehead and said, "Forgot to search the body, ugh! Search the body!"
Next, something happened that no one could have imagined. Tang Youyou was searching everyone one by one.
Butcher Zhang was stunned: "Oh my god! Miss Tang has some bandit temperament."
Xu Da gave him a slap on the head without hesitation: "Zhang Dasha, go and help!"
Then everyone went to search them, because the men were all unconscious and no one made a sound.
Butcher Zhang kicked the man and said, "Bah! You're even poorer than me, no wonder you want to rob me!"
Looking at the two taels of silver in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction.
In the end, everyone reaped a great harvest and spread out the silver in their hands, ready to give it to Tang Youyou.
She waved her hand and said, "This is what you found. Take it. When we get to Nanzhou, this will be the money we need to settle down!"
Everyone had tears in their eyes and opened and closed their mouths, expressing their gratitude.
"Sister Tang, if it weren't for you, we would have died in Wanfu Village. From now on, you are my biological sister!"
"Youyou, thank you for giving us hope!"
She touched her nose, a little embarrassed: "Ahem... We haven't reached Nanzhou yet. It's extremely dangerous. Don't be so quick to thank me..."
Everyone is full of faith in the future. After experiencing the siege of wolves and the looting of disaster victims, what difficulties could be more severe than the current one?
So everyone was full of energy and started on their journey until dawn.
Tang Youyou raised her hand and everyone stopped.
"What's wrong? Youyou?" Tang's mother looked around and saw no one. She felt something was wrong.
"Everyone, stop and rest, eat some food, and replenish your strength. I'll go and investigate!"
Everyone agreed and rested on the spot.
Her gaze penetrated the bare trees and looked at the cracked earth on the ground. She couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, Tuzhou is also suffering from the drought!"
I had only walked about a mile when I heard people talking.
"It's so hot, what are we doing here?"
"Who knows? This place is so far away from our village, my throat is burning!"
"Alas! We are the two with the most miserable fates! We were sent out to stay out! They are lying in the thatched hut to cool off. What kind of thing is this?"
"Hey! Stop complaining, your shift starts tomorrow!"
Tang Youyou's heart skipped a beat when he heard their voices. "Big Boss?" Could it be bandits? Are there bandits blocking the road?
Cautiously following the tree trunks and quietly approaching, I discovered that there were several large trees lying across the middle of the official road. Two bandits, with fleshy faces and furrowed brows, were dozing against the tree trunks with one hand casually resting on the hilt of their knife.
I looked around again, there was no one there, and there was a high slope above me, so I couldn't see what was going on.
She slowly backed away and told everyone, "Follow my instructions and don't make any noise!"
Everyone was stunned after hearing this. Although they were full of questions, they knew it was not appropriate to ask at this moment. There must be danger ahead, so they just had to follow her instructions.
Tang Youyou approached the two bandits again, and with two slingshots, the two bandits pierced through the center of their eyebrows. Without making any sound, they fell down.
She carefully moved forward and used her index finger to feel around, only to find that both men were dead. She breathed a sigh of relief.
He threw the two bodies into the haystack, picked up a big tree with one hand and threw it aside, then waved his hand.
After seeing the order, everyone brought their cattle and children forward without even glancing at the two bandits. They left in a hurry in less than a quarter of an hour.
Tang Youyou reminded: "Those were bandits just now, we must hurry on!"
"No wonder we didn't see a single person along the way. They must have been kidnapped by bandits."
"Youyou, how big is this bandit's base? We have to be careful!"
She nodded. "The mountain ahead is the largest mountain range in Tuzhou—Longhu Mountain. It's said there are two major bandits entrenched here. I imagine they're quite powerful!"
Old Man Tang reacted: "My dear, do you mean that if we want to pass through Tuzhou safely, we must take the official road?"
Xu Da objected: "No, it seems that this official road has also been controlled by bandits! Otherwise, why haven't we seen any victims?"
