Chapter 48: Distress (Part 1)



The group followed Gu Lei, turning left and right in the mountains, and slowly they drifted away from the main group.

There were fewer and fewer people around. Jiang Xiaoqiao said worriedly, "Shitou, are we going too far in? We can't go into the mountains."

Jiang Xiaoqiao has heard many versions of the legend of Daqing Mountain. The last time she came here with Zheng Shengnan, she even encountered a wild boar.

Although she is very strong now, she is afraid that she will not be able to protect the three children and herself if she encounters danger.

Gu Lei said: "Aunt Jiang, don't worry, I know we can't go into the mountains. We are still in the outskirts, so we'll be fine."

Gu Pingyang testified for his younger brother and said, "Yes, Aunt Jiang, we are indeed outside now and there is no danger."

Gu Pingguang nodded and agreed, "That's right, the adults have built an iron fence around the inner area, and we can't get through it now."

Seeing the three children's solemn promises, Jiang Xiaoqiao believed them.

"Stone, how far is it to the good place you found?"

After walking a little further, Jiang Xiaoqiao could no longer hear the voices of the sisters-in-law and aunts in the team who went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

"Aunt Jiang, we're almost there. It's right in front." Gu Lei said.

Jiang Xiaoqiao took another step forward, and saw a large field of wild vegetables and clusters of oyster mushrooms in front of him.

"Wow, there are so many!" Gu Pingguang's eyes lit up and he praised: "Shi Tou, you are amazing!"

Gu Pingyang's little face was also full of excitement. With such a large wild vegetable field, they could dig up a lot of wild vegetables.

Gu Lei puffed out his chest and said, "I discovered it by chance last time as well."

"There's a small slope there. I slid down from the opposite side last time and only then did I know there was such a place."

"Ah? Shitou, are you okay?" Gu Pingyang asked with concern.

Jiang Xiaoqiao also said: "Yeah, Shitou, you are not hurt?"

Gu Lei shook his head. "I'm fine, Aunt Jiang, Brother Pingyang, look, I'm fine now, aren't I?"

"Let's go dig some wild vegetables!"

Faced with the enthusiastic invitation of the three children, Jiang Xiaoqiao also took out the small shovel from her backpack and stepped forward to join in digging wild vegetables.

This wild vegetable field was indeed very large. It took them more than an hour to fill their backpacks, and there were still many left unpicked.

Jiang Xiaoqiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and suggested, "Let's go down the mountain first and then come back up to dig."

It would be best to rest for two to four hours at the foot of the mountain. Digging wild vegetables is really not an easy job.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoqiao said this, Gu Pingyang, Gu Pingguang and Gu Lei all expressed their agreement.

Led by Gu Lei, several people walked down the mountain along a path that was said to be a convenient path.

Halfway through the journey, Gu Lei scratched his head.

Gu Lei stopped and stared at the road in front of him.

like……

He took the wrong turn...

Jiang Xiaoqiao was just about to open her mouth to tease the child when the ding-ding-ding sound in her head started to ring wildly.

[Host, host, danger, danger! There are three dangerous people three meters in front of you! ! !]

【Attention! ! 】

Subconsciously, Jiang Xiaoqiao quickly hid Gu Pingyang, Gu Pingguang and Gu Lei in the bushes on the side and made a gesture to them to be quiet.

Jiang Xiaoqiao had made this gesture when they were captured by human traffickers.

"Don't talk. Once we leave, go down the mountain."

"Don't look back, find someone to help me."

After quickly saying these two sentences, Jiang Xiaoqiao covered up the place where Gu Pingyang, Gu Pingguang and Gu Lei were hiding.

Not only now, Jiang Xiaoqiao gritted her teeth.

This kind of dangerous person with a 5200 appearance warning is unavoidable at such a short distance.

Not to mention, there are now Gu Pingyang and his three children.

Jiang Xiaoqiao tried hard to adjust her expression, pretending to be completely unaware and looking happy as if she had harvested a great harvest of wild vegetables.

She walked happily a short distance forward with the full basket on her back.

Turning the corner, Jiang Xiaoqiao ran into three men who looked ferocious.

Jiang Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and screamed, "Ah!"

She had to scream out loud, as this was in line with her current personality.

Because the three people opposite are not locals.

Their eyes are blue, their hair is yellow, and their exposed arms have black tattoos.

How could Jiang Xiaoqiao, a simple-minded girl born and raised here, not be frightened by these things?

Moreover, one of the men was holding an axe in his hand.

Jiang Xiaoqiao turned around and ran away in panic. In fact, she was in a rare mood to curse herself in her heart.

Why did I only redeem the Strength skill, and no Sprint skill...

Why don't you just sleep in at the educated youth camp today instead of running to the mountains to dig wild vegetables...

The three men also reacted quickly after seeing Jiang Xiaoqiao.

“Shit!”

“Grab her quickly!”

Jiang Xiaoqiao ran wildly all the way, her heart beating as fast as 180 beats per minute.

Along the way, 5200 not only recorded the heart rate, but also told Jiang Xiaoqiao which direction to run in for safety.

"Host, no, if we go this way, we will meet three women from the group."

"Go, go right!"

"Forward!"

While Jiang Xiaoqiao was desperately trying to escape, the three Gu Pingyang brothers, who were temporarily safe, also ran all the way down the mountain.

They traveled at the fastest speed along the way.

Gu Lei's face turned pale. What should he do? What should he do? What if something happened to Aunt Jiang? What should he do...

Gu Pingyang and Gu Pingguang were also very panicked. This time, Aunt Jiang was trying to save them again...

What if Aunt Jiang was hurt by those people?

When the three of them were extremely panicked, they met Gu Xiangbei at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Xiangbei rushed back and thought about going home to change clothes and then look for Jiang Xiaoqiao.

When he heard Gu Jinhua say that Jiang Xiaoqiao went to the mountains with Gu Lei and the other two to pick wild vegetables today, he changed his clothes and hurried over.

Gu Xiangbei was still holding a box of vanishing cream in his hand. He bought it when he came back from a mission. He wanted to give it to Jiang Xiaoqiao and ask her to forgive him for leaving for such a long time.

Seeing Gu Pingyang and the other two rushing down the mountain in a panic from afar, Gu Xiangbei suddenly felt uneasy.

He hurried over, "Pingyang, Pingguang, Shitou, what happened to you three? Where's Xiao Qiao?"

"Fourth, Fourth Uncle..."

Gu Pingyang and Gu Pingguang were both unable to catch their breath and could not speak.

Gu Lei burst into tears, "Wow, wow, dad, dad! Hurry, hurry up and save Aunt Jiang! She's in danger!"

At this time, Gu Pingyang finally caught his breath.

"Fourth Uncle, we met three strange men in the mountains. Aunt Jiang was being chased by them..."

With a bang, a string in Gu Xiangbei's head broke.

He rushed up the mountain quickly, "Go home and find your great-grandfather! Tell him about this. No one else is allowed to say a word."
