The bandits were defeated and fled by Xiao Jingzhou and his men.
During the escape, two brothers were seriously injured and died on the way.
The remaining ten brothers were all injured to varying degrees.
They had been hungry for several days and had originally thought of stealing some meat from the Gu family so that their brothers could have a good meal, but they did not expect to lose half of their brothers instead.
When they returned to the place where they rested last night, they wanted to collect the bodies of their brothers.
But they found that the bodies thrown messily aside were all missing their heads!
Half Blind walked up to Scarface and said, "Brother, so many of our brothers have died. We must not let them go!"
"Yes! Revenge for our brothers!"
Scarface was nearly killed by a shovel last night, and he could still vividly remember the sight of Dahuang falling in front of him.
At this moment, his hands hidden in his sleeves were still shaking.
...
...
When he thought of Da Huang dying to save him, he raised his scarlet eyes and said with a ferocious face:
"We must not let those sons of bitches go!"
"Go find a long stick, and let's get ahead of them and ambush them at Guanshan Road.
Take back your brothers' skulls and avenge them! ”
Before leaving, "Half-Blind" had one of his eyes red and asked someone to cut off one of the corpse's arms.
"Take it back, and let the brothers return to their roots!"
…
The group of people walked in the dead forest for half a month and finally came out.
When everyone saw the sky without any dead branches blocking it, their eyes suddenly brightened.
At this moment, both the officials and the exiled prisoners seemed to see hope.
"Great! We've finally gotten out of the dead woods!"
“Wow, wow, wow, I almost thought I was going to die in the dead woods, but I didn’t expect to come out like this!”
"Look, that's Guanshan Road!"
A cry of surprise immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the stone mountains within sight, like one golden mountain after another.
Gu Zhenbei's eyes were full of golden light: "After passing through Guanshan Road, we can reach Zhiyi City in another day."
It took the group nearly three months to walk from the capital to Zhiyi City, and needless to say, they went through a lot of hardships.
I am very lucky to have arrived here alive.
When the officials saw this scene, many of them couldn't help but burst into tears.
Even Zhou Wu and Zhang Da put aside their past grudges and hugged each other and cheered.
Only Huang Yanshun hid behind the crowd, secretly took out a small piece of black steamed bun, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Xiao Jingzhou did not forget to tell Jiang Zhenyu the good news.
[Miss Jiang, we have finally gotten out of the dead forest. After we pass the mountain road, we will reach Zhiyi City in another day. 】
【marvelous! Once you arrive in Zhiyi City, it will be convenient to receive the goods.
I will send you delicious food and useful things. 】
When Xiao Jingzhou saw the letter, his tone was as lively as usual.
I guessed in my heart: Miss Jiang’s mood should have improved.
The group of people had a rare tacit understanding, and each of them had a smile on their face as they walked towards Guanshan Road.
No one complained about wanting to rest halfway, as everyone wanted to cross the Guanshan Road before dark.
In this way, we can reach Zhiyi City the day after tomorrow.
Standing outside the dead woods and looking at the Guanshan Road, it seemed very close, but it still took an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
There are a lot of gravel at the foot of Guanshan Road, scattered everywhere.
It looks like the rocks were loose and rolled down from the mountain, breaking into pieces.
Xiao Jingzhou looked up at the mountains on both sides of Guanshan Road, but did not find any large rocks hanging on the top of the mountains.
The group walked into Guanshan Road. After about an incense stick's time, Hou Si, who was walking in front, ran back in a hurry.
"Oh no! Something terrible has happened!"
Seeing him making a lot of noise and running around like a monkey, Zhou Wu's good mood suddenly disappeared.
He yelled angrily, "If you have something to say, just tell me now, don't force me to slap you when I'm happy!"
Hou Si ran up to Zhou Wu, his panic on his face evident: "Brother, the Guanshan Road is blocked by falling rocks!"
After hearing these words, Zhou Wu's heart sank.
He took a few officers and hurried to check the situation.
Xiao Jingzhou heard the noise and asked Lu Chen to follow.
Not long after, Lu Chen ran back to report.
"Your Highness, just as Hou Si said, the Guanshan Road is blocked by fallen rocks.
The subordinates investigated and found that it was not man-made, but rather caused by multiple rock falls. ”
Ahead, Zhou Wu saw the fallen rocks blocking the road, and his heart sank.
Hou Si licked his dry lips and said, "Brother, how about we turn over?
It would take a few hours at most to go over there, and if you take a detour it would take two or three days.
We have been out of food for too long and have to eat Guanyin earth cakes every day to fill our stomachs.
If we walk one more day, we will probably not survive and reach Zhiyi City. ”
Zhou Wu rarely felt that what Hou Si said made sense, and nodded immediately.
"Let the people behind walk faster and try to get over it before dark!"
When Xiao Jingzhou and his group arrived, two officers had already climbed up the fallen rocks to explore the way.
Zhou Wu shouted to the official who was exploring the way: "Find the foothold and mark it so that the people behind can get up."
When Xiao Jingzhou saw the falling rocks halfway up the mountain, he felt a little uneasy.
He glanced at the place where the two officers were climbing, and then looked around the mountain paths for signs of fallen rocks.
When he saw the messy footprints in front of Zhou Wu, he called Lu Chen.
"You came over to check the situation just now. Did you find those footprints?"
Lu Chen nodded: "It should be left by Hou Si and his men."
Gu Zhenbei said in a deep voice: "He is not an official.
The footprints were broad and deep. Although these officers were martial artists, their body sizes and weights did not match. ”
In this situation, the only ones who could face someone of this size were the gangsters who had fought with them last night.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Give orders to keep the women and children in the center and be on guard at all times just in case!"
The other side of the rockfall.
The bandits, each holding a long stick, crouched and hid in the corner of Guanshan Road to ambush.
Always be ready to turn over and kill one by one.
The two officers climbed to the highest point and were about to call for help.
In an instant, the stones under my feet began to loosen and I could not even stand steadily. In a state of extreme panic, I could only hold on to the shaking fallen rocks.
In the blink of an eye, the ground began to shake violently.
The fallen rocks, which had originally piled up to half a mountain high, rolled down from the great height.
The two officers were smashed into meat patties by the rocks as they rolled down.
Someone was the first to react and shouted.
"Oh no! It's an earth dragon!"
"The earth dragon is turning over! Everyone, run away!"
The earth shook and the mountains trembled. Rocks were torn off the mountain and fell to the ground, hitting the mountain road heavily.
Before this, Xiao Jingzhou discovered some suspicious footprints and asked people to be on alert.
Upon learning that the earth dragon had appeared, everyone fled to the Guanshan Road in an orderly manner.
He actually left the officials who were fleeing in panic far behind.
"ah!"
When Gu Shijie was holding Gu Yining and running for his life, he was accidentally tripped by a fallen rock and both of them fell heavily to the ground.
Gu Zhenbei hurried to help them up, and at this moment, a stone the size of a grapefruit suddenly hit them.
Seeing that he could not escape, Gu Zhenbei grabbed Gu Shijie and Gu Yining with both hands, turned around, turned his back and held his children in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang from the falling rocks!
