Chapter 142 I haven’t eaten for a whole day

At the same time, in a forest on the outskirts of the county.

A group of people were traveling in the mountains, covered in dust.

Leading the way was the big silly cow from the pig farm.

He changed his previous silly look, the smile on his face was gone, and he walked forward with a serious face.

There were two brothers following him, and they were responsible for meeting him in the county.

Walking behind were Xu Mo and Zhu Qingqing.

One of the brothers said, "Daniu, we have climbed several mountains. Can we take a break now?"

Daniu shook his head: "Hold on a little longer, there are only two more mountains to go before we reach the next county, and someone will pick us up then."

He spoke quietly, but everyone present heard it.

Knowing that they still had to climb the mountain, Zhu Qingqing, who was already exhausted and out of breath, could no longer hold back her temper:

"Why do we have to hurry? Can't we just spend the night in the mountains? My feet are so painful from the blisters!"

Zhu Qingqing didn't know that Daniu and others were enemy spies.

She thought they were prisoners who escaped with Xu Mo, so she didn't treat them well.

She complained several times along the way.

Everyone was in a hurry before and no one was in the mood to argue with her.

But now we have been traveling for almost two days, and everyone is exhausted and irritable.

But Zhu Qingqing was still yelling:

"I need to rest! My feet hurt so much, please stop!"

"If you don't want to leave, you can just stay here by yourself. We won't care about you anymore!"

Daniu glared at her, feeling extremely regretful.

If he hadn't used his connections to help Xu Mo find Zhu Qingqing, nothing unusual would have been discovered.

As a result, he and his brothers had to flee in panic and hide in the mountains.

He did not complete the task assigned to him, and he only instigated one person to defect, and that was Xu Mo.

Although he admired Xu Mo, he was troubled by the fact that he brought a burden, Zhu Qingqing, with him.

This woman is so noisy that my head was numb from all the chattering.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have agreed to take Zhu Qingqing with him.

When Zhu Qingqing heard that Daniu wanted to leave her alone in the forest, she was furious:

"Why did you abandon me? You are such a man without any sympathy. I am a girl, shouldn't I be taken care of?"

Xu Mo frowned: "Qingqing, please stop talking..."

"I won't!" Zhu Qingqing pouted and shouted, "Xu Mo, you are just too easy to talk to, which makes people feel flattered.

If you hadn't helped him, would he have been able to escape from the pig farm? Now you're repaying kindness with hatred!"

"Shut up! If you dare to shout again, I will shoot you!"

Da Niu was so annoyed by the noise that he pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at Zhu Qingqing.

Zhu Qingqing was stunned, and then chuckled:

"It's so funny. Who are you trying to scare with a fake gun? I'm not afraid!"

"Qingqing!" Xu Mo's face changed, and he leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"These guys are enemy spies. The guns in their hands are real. Apologize now!"

"What?!" Zhu Qingqing was shocked: "Xu Mo, you didn't lie to me?"

Xu Mo's face darkened: "Now that it's like this, why would I lie to you? Apologize quickly."

Zhu Qingqing's lips trembled and she looked at Daniu fearfully.

She said in a trembling voice, "Brother Daniu...I'm sorry...I was wrong, please forgive me."

Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes, Da Niu snorted and put the gun back.

"This won't happen again. If you keep whining, I'll shoot you in the head!"

Some people are just mean-spirited and won't be scared unless you hear harsh words like this.

After the little episode, the group started on their journey again without stopping.

Zhu Qingqing, who was walking behind, looked pale and whispered:

"Xu Mo...how did you get involved with the enemy spies? What should we do now? Should we escape?

I don’t want to be with them. If I’m caught, I’ll be shot.”

She has read many period novels in modern times, and the enemy spies in those novels all had tragic endings.

Zhu Qingqing didn't want to die. She was only 20 years old and hadn't yet fully enjoyed the wonderful life of time travel.

Xu Mo's eyes flashed with impatience: "Now we are on the same boat, don't even think about running away."

To be honest, Xu Mo feels a little regretful now.

He also didn't understand why he brought her with him in the first place.

Maybe I was just impulsive, or maybe I still like her a little.

But all these good feelings were only reflected in the short two days of escape.

Because all of Zhu Qingqing's complaints disappeared.

Before, when he was on the pig farm, he had something to ask of her and had expectations and a good impression of her.

Even though she was noisy, he thought she was cute in a silly way.

But now, she is no longer of any use and is just a useless burden.

If it weren't for the fact that she abandoned her family for him and ran away with him, he really wanted to leave her behind.

Xu Mo: "Be obedient and don't irritate them again, or I can't protect you."

Zhu Qingqing's eyes were shocked, and she looked at him in disbelief:

"Xu Mo...what do you mean by these words...what do you mean you can't protect me?!"

Hearing that she was going to start being serious again, Xu Mo glanced at him coldly:

"Zhu Qingqing, could you please stop making trouble? We are running for our lives now, can you please be quiet?"

Zhu Qingqing's eyes turned red, and her voice sounded very aggrieved:

"Xu Mo...you actually yelled at me...you even called me by my full name...you used to call me sister."

Xu Mo: "I can't explain it to you clearly, so you better take care of yourself."

As he spoke, he quickly caught up with the people in front.

Zhu Qingqing was the last one left, feeling anxious and scared, so she quickly trotted after them.

There are too many dangers in this forest.

She was almost bitten by a snake yesterday, and this morning a big spider crawled onto her body.

If Xu Mo hadn't been there to protect her, she might have been bitten several times.

After the group of five climbed a mountain, it was completely dark.

In the dark forest, the roar of wild beasts could be heard from time to time, which was heart-wrenching.

Several people quickly made torches, lit them with matches and held them high up, only then did they feel more at ease after seeing the surrounding situation clearly.

Xu Mo said, "Daniu, we are now deep in the forest. We can't travel at night like before. It will be dangerous."

The other two also advised: “Yes, Brother Daniel, we are very tired after traveling for two days, let’s find a place to rest.

Anyway, we only have one mountain to climb, and when it gets light we can set off and reach the next county in no time."

Daniel thought for two seconds and nodded: "Okay."

Soon, everyone found a small cave.

After cleaning the cave, they lit a fire and started warming themselves.

The few of them heaved a sigh of relief and sat down against the wall to rest.

Zhu Qingqing was very quiet along the way, so no one was mean to her.

Maybe the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten.

With everyone so exhausted, Zhu Qingqing couldn't help complaining again:

"I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten for almost a day. Can't you go out and find something to eat? What's the point of lying in the cave and being lazy?"
