Chapter 116: Fleeing
"Qiqi, what are you holding in your hand? It's so powerful!"
At this critical moment, Pei's mother actually became curious about the colorful jar in Qiao Qiqi's hand.
"Mom! Don't worry about it, just go!"
Pei Shaoling was also speechless!
He knew that what Qiao Qiqi took out was definitely not from this world.
If it wasn't necessary, Qiao Qiqi wouldn't risk being discovered and take it out to save everyone!
Pei's mother was gently scolded by Pei Shaoling, and did not dare to ask any more questions. She pulled Pei Shuer's hand and rushed out!
Mrs. Zhou, Gu Changsheng, Pei Shaoming and others followed closely behind, carrying food, pots, pans, etc.!
Qiao Qiqi sprayed insecticide and retreated outside.
After a while, a few more skeletons appeared in the courtyard.
Qiao Qiqi saw that An Lei and the others were there, and they were the exiled prisoners.
She sprayed a few more times into the courtyard, protecting everyone from leaving the house!
Fortunately, the carriage and the donkey were tied at the door!
Everyone hurriedly got on the carriage, and Gu Changsheng and the others put their things on the wheelbarrow behind the donkey.
"Hurry up, let's go!"
After Qiao Qiqi left the house, An Lei, who was riding on a horse, urged her hurriedly.
Qiao Qiqi also discovered that her insecticide only had a temporary dizzying effect on the man-eating ants, but could not kill them!
Soon, the big ants also rushed out of the house!
"Let's go!"
An Lei shouted, and the coachman quickly raised his whip!
He himself walked forward, holding the donkey's reins.
The little donkey may have also sensed the crisis, so it was very obedient and followed behind him, led by him.
The men from the Pei and Zhao families who were not sitting in the car also started jogging!
A group of people hurriedly left the farm and fled!
"Hey, the last time I fled, I was chased by two giant pythons! Now I'm being chased by a group of ants!"
Qiao Qiqi sighed helplessly.
At this moment, Pei Shaoling was sitting in a carriage with Qiao Qiqi.
In the chaos just now, everyone no longer distinguished between men and women and got on the carriage in a panic.
Therefore, at this moment, the carriage was filled with people from the Pei family's main branch.
Mrs. Zhou and her friends and Mr. Ruan sat in another carriage.
"Qiqi, look!"
Pei Shaoling pulled at the carriage curtain and pointed outside the window and said to Qiao Qiqi.
Qiao Qiqi looked in the direction he was pointing and actually found a purple lightning flashing in the sky.
“This is that day…”
Qiao Qiqi glanced at Pei's mother and the others and swallowed the words she had not finished saying.
"Well, let's be careful on the road ahead!"
Pei Shaoling nodded slightly and stopped talking.
"Oh no! Those man-eating ants are catching up!"
An Lei, who was riding a horse behind the team, suddenly shouted.
"Quick, let those walking people get directly onto the carriages!"
Qiao Qiqi shouted outside the carriage.
Just now, several people were killed by man-eating ants in the house on the farm, and the ox carts became somewhat empty.
"Quick, get on the bike!"
An Lei shouted and asked those who were walking to get on the cart quickly.
Then, the drivers gave An Xuan and Qin Lao Er a signal and cracked their whips, and the horses galloped forward!
Behind the carriage, a large group of mutated man-eating ants the size of mice were chasing them closely!
"Ling'er, Qiqi, will they catch up?"
Mother Pei, who had witnessed with her own eyes those man-eating ants turning a living person into a skeleton, asked Qiao Qiqi and Pei Shaoling in shock.
"Don't worry, Mom! It won't happen! These horses of ours are all top-notch horses! If they weren't pulling a carriage, they could travel a thousand miles a day!"
Pei Shaoling comforted Pei's mother gently.
"That's good, that's good!"
Mother Pei's complexion looked much better and she patted her chest.
"Brother, why did so many man-eating ants suddenly appear?"
Pei Shaoming glanced at the weak Pei Shaoan, and then asked Pei Shaoling who had been looking out the window.
"The desolation of that farm may be related to the man-eating ants."
Qiao Qiqi guessed, "I looked around and saw a layer of dead grass had already grown around the farm, indicating that no crops were planted last year. And the weather this way must have only started in the last month or two."
She analyzed, "When we entered the farm, the ruins we saw were mostly brick walls, and the wood and other things had long been eaten away."
"Then why is the roof of that house intact?"
Pei Shaoming raised his question again.
"It's probably because the builders coated the beams with something to repel insects that saved the house."
Pei Shaoling on the side continued.
Qiao Qiqi nodded in agreement.
Soon, three horse-drawn carriages and a donkey cart returned to the official road.
“Speed up!”
Pei Shaoling whispered to An Dian who was driving in front.
"Yes! Go!"
An Dian whipped the whip wildly again and rushed forward!
The two carriages following behind them also began to speed up.
Slowly, those man-eating ants were finally shaken off!
After a long time, until it was getting dark, the horse's footsteps slowly stopped.
"No, the horse is tired and needs a rest!"
The Dark Lightning in front whispered to them.
"Well, let's find a place to rest and eat something!"
Qiao Qiqi responded softly.
Soon, An Dian stopped beside a few trees beside the official road.
After everyone got off the carriage, Mrs. Zhou started cooking.
Because the weather was too hot, she decided to make some porridge.
While no one was paying attention, Qiao Qiqi fed some apples to the horses and the donkey.
After eating the apples, the horse and the donkey regained some energy and happily licked Qiao Qiqi's hands.
After the porridge was cooked, everyone started to eat.
"Alas, it's a pity that I didn't have time to take away the leftover pickled beef and fried fish from lunch!"
Drinking the clear porridge, Mrs. Zhou sighed.
"Yeah, I even forgot to bring the leftover baked sweet potatoes. It was such a mess!"
Gu Changsheng sighed, "Luckily, we are fine. Those ants actually ate people. How scary!"
However, from the third branch of the Pei family and the Zhao family, low sobbing sounds were heard.
It turned out that the Third Aunt of the Pei family and Madam Zhao, who had rushed out earlier, as well as Pei Yujiao from the second branch of the Pei family, all died in the courtyard of that farm.
Constable Qin Lao Er was making steamed buns with the bag of mixed flour he was given. He sighed as he did so, "It's over. There aren't many people left in the exile team. When we get to our destination, I think I'm going to be beaten with a stick!"
"It's okay, Mr. Ruan is here, he will heal you!"
An Lei responded nonchalantly.
"Alas, this journey has been full of ups and downs, either natural disasters or man-made calamities. It's good enough to be alive. Just give me a beating!"
Qin Laoer could comfort himself.
"It's still early, let's talk about it later!"
Pei Shaoling sat in a wooden wheelchair and asked the officer Qin Laoer softly, "At our current speed, when will we reach Qingshi Town?"
