Chapter 238 After being silent for a long time, it turns out that someone is waiting for them here!
Unexpectedly, Bu Wei did not urge the prisoners to leave immediately, but walked to the entrance of the cave with Qian Zheng and looked outside.
Ran Qingxuan didn't know what they were whispering about, but just by looking at the gray sky outside the cave entrance, he knew that today would definitely be more difficult than yesterday.
Sure enough, Bu Wei's worries were not unfounded. He had just said a few words to Qian Zheng and other officials when the wind outside started to blow again.
Bu Wei stood in front of the prisoners waiting to set off with a sullen face, pointing at the gradually increasing snowstorm outside.
"We had originally planned our time and planned to arrive at the next cave where we could take shelter and rest at noon, but as you can see, the weather changed very quickly."
Everyone also saw the situation outside and stood there silently listening.
“I don’t know when the snowstorm will stop, so please keep an eye on your elderly and children after you leave.
And after we set off, we have to walk all the way to the resting place in one breath. Even if you want to go to the bathroom halfway, you have to hold it in. After all, there is no place for you to squat on the road ahead! ”
"And those who love to stir up trouble had better realize where we are now and put away your little tricks, lest the local master will settle accounts with you!"
Bu Wei looked at the Li family team meaningfully. Lin Xueer held her slightly pregnant waist and turned her face away uncomfortably.
The officers have walked this route countless times, so they know how to avoid risks.
Bu Wei led two constables in the lead, pulling horses and donkeys to clear the way, and then two constables followed behind to separate the prisoners.
There were quite a lot of Xiao family members. Xiao Hongyi and his son protected Xiao Zhe. Li Ping and Xiao Wenmei protected the elderly and children in the family and went out. They were followed by He Xun and another officer.
Shang Zicheng from the Shang family failed in his challenge to the officer yesterday and now he could only limp out with the support of his father Shang Bin. This time, he was followed by a fat officer and the tall and thin man.
After the two of them went out, it was the Chen family. After all, there were no injured people in their family and there were relatively few people. The one who followed them out was Bu Fei.
Because there was a pregnant woman in the Li family and most of the family members were women, after they left, Fu Fan followed behind.
The ones left at the end of the team were members of the Gu family. Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan protected Gu Yanzong one in front and one behind, the eldest sister-in-law was responsible for protecting Old Madam Gu, and the rest followed behind.
Qian Zheng and another officer were in charge of the rear guard. After they left, Ran Qingxuan couldn't help shivering in the cold wind. After only ten minutes, she realized that yesterday's road was really just difficult to walk...
Not to mention the strong wind that hurts your face, the heavy snow like goose feathers is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.
Ran Qingxuan had never imagined that the scene would be like this after going deep into the mountains. Now seeing everyone gritting their teeth and persevering, he regretted not making preparations early.
Bu Wei's warning was a bit conservative after all. At first, the road ahead was still feasible for two people to walk side by side, but an hour later, the road became difficult to walk on.
As the strong wind blew, the abyss hidden in the heavy snow roared like a beast.
The thin women could only walk carefully by holding on to the mountain, otherwise they would be tripped by the gravel under their feet if they were not careful.
There were constant crying sounds blown into my ears by the wind, and most of them came from the Li family's team. In between, there was also the sound of Fu Fan waving a whip, but it was of no use, and they still cried.
Firstly, these women had never seen such a harsh environment, and secondly, they were frightened by the road under their feet.
The women in the Gu family were also afraid, but because they had family members around to encourage and comfort each other, they did not scream and wail like other women.
The team continued to move forward for more than half an hour. The wind and snow in the mountains not only did not decrease, but became stronger and stronger. Gradually, even the people walking in front could hardly see clearly.
The biting cold wind penetrated into the neck, and almost everyone was shivering as they walked.
Seeing that everyone was looking down at the road beneath their feet, Ran Qingxuan quickly took out a scarf and a Lei Feng hat from the space and put them on Gu Yanzong.
As soon as Gu Yanzong opened his mouth, a knife-like cold wind was poured into his lungs, causing him to cough repeatedly.
Ran Qingxuan controlled the wheelchair and raised his voice in his ear, "Brother, is it still cold like this?"
"It's not cold, it's just hard for you and Liu..."
The rest of the words were blown away by a sudden gust of wind, followed by an even stronger snowstorm.
All I heard was the officers yelling and standing close to the wall. As the sound came intermittently, a shrill scream came from the team in front.
"elder sister..."
In the Li family team, the older sister of the pair of sisters lost her balance due to the wind and slipped and fell straight off the cliff.
When the younger sister who was following behind tried to reach out to grab the person, the figure disappeared in an instant except for a final scream.
"elder sister..."
Apart from the sound of the wind, there was only a vast expanse of whiteness at the bottom of the cliff. The younger sister cried and shouted like crazy, hoping that the officer in front of her would save her, but everyone knew that it was impossible.
A young life disappeared in an instant, and when Li Si turned around, he just saw his sister falling off the cliff.
At that moment, the wind and snow covered all the expressions on her face, and she slowly walked forward as if nothing had happened.
The Gu family was forced to stop, and the women in the Gu family covered their faces, not daring to think about what would happen if they fell.
Qian Zheng began to urge from behind, and Fu Fan grabbed his sister's collar, pressed her against the stone wall and warned her sternly.
"If you don't want to fall like your sister, move forward!"
"Sister Ru, let's go quickly..."
One of the remaining concubines bravely stepped forward and pulled the man away, with fear flashing across her face.
The wind and snow were too strong, but the people in front did not stop, and the people behind did not dare to stop either.
It was not until almost eleven o'clock that the Gu family turned around the mountain road ahead and saw a very small cave in front of them. The people walking in front had already gone in to avoid the wind and snow.
More than ten minutes later, Gu Yanchen finally approached with the wheelchair that Gu Yanzong was sitting in. Ran Qingxuan held the handle at the back of the wheelchair and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Gu, come here quickly and hide!"
Chen Zhao stood at the front entrance of the cave and waved at them, but the Li family members in front of the Gu family were hesitating.
The cave was small to begin with. After the group of women from the Li family and Li Xinyuan surrounded the cave entrance, there was only a small path outside for the Gu family to pass through.
Gu Yanchen didn't want to waste time arguing with the Li family, so he pulled Gu Yanzong's wheelchair and went around the side.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened at this moment.
Shang Bin, who was squatting at the entrance of the cave, and Shang Zicheng, who had difficulty moving, suddenly stood up as if they were given an injection of chicken blood.
Then he rushed towards Gu Yanzong who was sitting in a wheelchair with all his might, and there was a deep abyss next to the wheelchair.
Ran Qingxuan was right behind the wheelchair. After the collision, she could only use all her strength to pull the wheelchair to prevent Gu Yanzong from falling off. Half of her leg was already out of the cliff, but she didn't expect that the target of the Shang family father and son was not Gu Yanzong in the wheelchair at all!
