When she turned around to look for tree bark, she found that many families who had already woven sleeping bags were now starting to tie them up.
However, most families only wove one or two sleeping bags, so most people still had to sleep on the burned ground.
The Wen family knitted the most, but they only finished eight sleeping bags, and even these were made by everyone working against the clock.
I thought of the tent in my bag and really wanted to take it out. After all, a tent that is moisture-proof and has gender separation is better than sleeping on a hot floor.
Although the first half of the night is still okay after the ground burns, the ground becomes damp in the second half of the night, making the sleepers damp.
Thinking about how to get the things out, he came to a tree not far from the guard.
After cutting a piece of bark, I was about to turn around when I heard a rustling sound not far away.
This? Could there be wild animals? After all, it is deep in the mountains, so it is not impossible for there to be wild animals.
For a moment, she and the people on duty became nervous.
Everyone was staring at the place in front of them, and Xiushui thought, it would be great if she could see it clearly.
I don’t know if the collection technique can be used to collect data from the ground and then see what is in front of me?
While thinking this in her mind, she actually collected the plants on the ground in front of her and extended them in a straight line to the area ahead.
Not to mention, when collecting on the surface, you can really see a lot of shiny things.
And the various plants growing in the ground.
This feeling is like looking at high-definition material under a microscope.
You can really magnify everything and see it clearly.
It was also at this time that she unexpectedly discovered that these plants were actually divided into different colors.
There is a black one a little to the left in front of us, and a little further forward, there is a red one.
What do these two colors mean?
I'll have to study it carefully later.
The distance to where the noise came from was about five meters. Because I was exploring in a straight line, I felt dizzy when I was about to reach the point of movement.
She knew that this was the peak of her collection skills, but she was unwilling to withdraw it like this. After all, she was only a little bit away from seeing clearly.
Fortunately, that thing seemed to be moving forward.
When a human hand appeared in front of him, Xiushui was stunned.
"It's a human, and he's injured. Maybe he sensed we were here, so he wanted to crawl over here and ask for help?"
"Xiu Shui, are you sure?"
Master Wen, who was standing guard together, asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I'm sure it was just one person. I smelled blood and heard a slight snort. Didn't you hear it?"
Of course, you didn’t hear anything, but at this time you have to blame your hearing.
Everyone felt very embarrassed. None of the twelve people on duty heard the voice.
How come Xiushui has such a sharp ear?
No wonder Old Lady Wen called her granddaughter along when she was on night duty earlier.
Xiushui: I’m not, I don’t, I just have skills that you can’t imagine.
"Xiushui, listen again and see if there are any other people ahead?"
Xiushui looked at the person who was gradually crawling forward, "No more, only one person."
"Go and have a look."
After knowing that it was just one injured person, Wen Lao Er and several others moved forward.
Xiushui was not far behind. She wanted to see what kind of person this was.
"Ah? It's Chu Laowu. He actually escaped here."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard it.
"What? How could it be Chu Laowu? Didn't they follow the rich man and pay the toll to take the shortcut? Why did they end up here?"
Xiushui understood after hearing this. It seemed that something happened at the place where they paid the toll to the bandits.
This also indirectly shows that they might not be too far from the place where the bandits are stationed.
We have to ask this person about his situation, otherwise, lighting a bonfire at night will attract thieves.
After reaching these two conclusions, Xiushui also became nervous.
The injured person was indeed Chu Laowu. The only people who had to pay to pass through were Old Man Xu, and the three major families, the Chu family and the Luo family.
Chu Laowu had a back injury. When he saw the familiar villagers, he grabbed Zhou Laoer's hand and sobbed.
"Second brother, my family is finished. My daughter, wife, and nieces have all been kidnapped by bandits.
Wow, those guys are no good. They took our money and detained all of us.
Women became their playthings, and men... became their laborers."
Everyone then realized that after only two days of separation, the man had become thinner and haggard.
When he was in the village before, Chu Laowu was a wealthy family because he made a living in the city.
His overall complexion is not the best in the village, but it is still very good overall.
"How...how did you escape?"
Xiushui goes straight to the heart of the matter.
Old Mrs. Wen, the old village chief and others all rushed over after hearing that an acquaintance had fled to their place.
There were several families who had wanted to follow the mountain trail, and now they were all very grateful.
Fortunately, I followed the main group, otherwise my wife and children would be bullied.
Even men have a miserable end.
"The day after we were escorted to the mountain, a group of hundreds of defeated stragglers came from the foot of the mountain.
They may have also found out the details of the stronghold, sneaked in that day, and attacked the stronghold from both inside and outside.
Taking advantage of the chaos, I took my family and fled, but when we got down the mountain, we were chased by another group of people.
I don’t know if my little daughter and the others have run away…”
