Chapter 95 Disaster is coming
What's going on?
Ding Xiaodie quickly pulled the old woman's hand and asked everyone to squat under the tree together. This time they could see clearly that the moving flames were not dazzling, but the light of torches.
There were people holding torches and moving forward, and there was a distance between each torch, giving the impression of a team, with the section in the middle being occupied by a few people who were not holding torches.
They waited motionlessly, and the team seemed to be endless.
If there were people between the two torches, then based on the distance between them, Ding Xiaodie felt that there were about five people.
In other words, if we count the torches and the number of people in this team, there are probably more than two hundred people.
There are more than 200 people, and they are marching in such an orderly manner. Could they be soldiers?
Ding Xiaodie quickly crawled to her father's side and whispered, "Dad, do you think our government troops will come to Yangliu Town?"
Ding Gui then widened his eyes. He had felt strange just now, but now he realized that those who walked at night like this must be soldiers!
But do the Qi and Yan states still have the ability to send officers and soldiers to a small place like Yangliu Town?
He couldn't give an answer for a moment.
Ding Xiaodie said, "Why don't we go back and take a look? If they are officers and soldiers from Qi and Yan, it means the country has taken action to deal with the disaster, and we don't need to go to Wo County."
"If it's not..."
In fact, both the father and the daughter had the same idea in their minds, but they were unwilling to make it clear.
Ding Xiaodie could only interrupt him: "Let's go quickly. Let's go through this woods and walk along the woods beside the road. They have light, so they won't find us."
If there is light close to a person in the dark, it will affect his vision in the darkness far away.
The four of them discussed it and immediately returned along the grove.
Ding Xiaodie is thin and she takes the lead, especially at the corners. She goes over to see if there is anyone, and then she gives a secret signal for her family to follow.
After walking for a while, Ding Xiaodie suddenly found a bonfire in the open space in front.
Oh my god!
She quickly stepped back and lay on the ground, signaling her family not to come over.
After a while, she quietly looked out through the branches and leaves. This look was terrible. Ding Xiaodie felt like a basin of cold water was poured on her head.
Those sitting around the campfire were not soldiers from Qi or Yan, but desert soldiers from the Modu nomadic tribe.
It is clearly written in history that during this era, the nomadic tribes of Modu were in chaos and many innocent people were killed.
This team is now right in front of us, and compared to the scattered guerrillas last time, this team looks braver and more disciplined.
It’s over. Could it be that he is here to avenge the soldiers who were captured last time?
It’s dark at night. Do these desert soldiers want to attack Yangliu Town at night?
Unfortunately, the villagers guarding the gate of Yangliu Town were not vigilant at all. They said they were guarding the town gate, but in fact they were just changing the place to sleep.
This time it’s game over!
Ding Xiaodie turned around and sat on the ground, breathing deeply for a while, then crawled to her father's side and whispered, "It's the Desert Soldiers."
"What?" These words frightened Ding Gui so much that he trembled all over. He now realized that when he really encountered trouble, it would be useless even if he had a knife on him.
Now that the truth could no longer be concealed, Ding Xiaodie was worried that Wang Dafeng would scream unexpectedly, so she simply crawled over to her and said, "Grandma, no matter what you hear from now on, cover your mouth tightly, or the four of us will die."
Wang Dafeng quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth: "..."
Sure enough, when Ding Xiaodie told her that there were desert soldiers in front, the old woman almost screamed, but fortunately she held her hands tightly.
Zhang Xiu also learned the truth from Ding Gui and covered her mouth!
It’s strange, is this the only action a woman can take in response to stress?
Ding Xiaodie was very upset.
She sighed and whispered, "Grandma, now it's time for you to show off your skills. We all believe you can do it."
Wang Dafeng's voice trembled: "Do... do what?"
"Move forward a little and eavesdrop on what they are saying."
“Ah, no…”
Isn't this asking her to die? Wang Dafeng didn't dare to step forward no matter what.
Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to raise her hand and swear: "I will go with you, and I dare say they will definitely not see you."
Having said that, Wang Dafeng reluctantly nodded: "Okay then, with you as my lucky doll to protect me, I, an old woman, don't have anything to worry about!"
After saying that, he followed Ding Xiaodie and slowly moved forward, finally hiding behind two pine trees. From this angle, he was only as close as a slope to those who were roasting fire and eating dumplings.
I saw these people eating the bags in their hands silently, no one spoke, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very serious.
This shows that these people are not only officers and soldiers, but also well-trained officers and soldiers, and are not on the same level as ordinary soldiers.
Finally, someone who seemed to be the leader began to speak.
As he spoke, Wang Dafeng leaned over to Ding Xiaodie's ear and translated: "Our general needs a place to rest. This town is a perfect place. I heard that there's a family named Lu in the town who has plenty of food and drink. It's perfect for the general to use as a temporary residence. Let's rest for a while, and then we'll attack the town at daybreak."
Ding Xiaodie was frightened when she heard this.
When the leader finished speaking, those burly desert soldiers simultaneously banged the big swords at their waists, and the rubbing sounds were particularly creepy under the night sky.
When daybreak comes, there are less than three hours left!
By then, Yangliu Town would be a river of blood and corpses would be everywhere.
No, they have to go back to Yangliu Town and tell everyone to escape quickly no matter what.
Wang Dafeng was stunned after hearing Xiaodie's suggestion! o(╥﹏╥)o
She had finally walked two miles out of the city and had originally planned to follow this family of three no matter what. Who knew that now she had to go back? Moreover, she was not sure she could get out of the city once she entered, so why did she have to go back?
In fact, when it comes to the consequences, everyone is scared when they think about it.
Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu were no exception. Thinking they might not be able to leave the city, they had already secretly clasped each other's hands in the darkness. However...
If I leave the people of Yangliu Town alone and just leave, will they be able to live in peace every day from now on?
So the couple nodded in agreement without thinking: "Go back."
Wang Dafeng then said hesitantly, "How about Xiaodie and I wait for you outside the city? We're old and young, so we can't run away, and going back won't be of any use. You'll still have to take care of us, which will be even more troublesome, right?"
"Grandma, you don't understand. If we fight the desert soldiers and they retreat, we'll be like lambs to be slaughtered, with no chance of success."
"ah!?"
Wang Dafeng was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She felt that Xiaodie's analysis was quite correct. Whether these soldiers won or lost, they would eventually return through this road. By then, the two of them would...
