Chapter 8: forest, overnight
Chapter 8 Mountain forest, overnight stay
Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying who was only a palm away from him, his body froze, a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes very quickly, and his body quickly backed away to make himself further away from her.
His subconscious dislike made Su Ying very upset. If it weren't for her, he would still smell like rotten flesh, and he would still have the face to dislike her!
Su Ying gave him a cold look. Seeing that he cared about Dabao, she said coldly: "There is still some low-grade fever. The redness and swelling of the wound have not completely disappeared, but it is not a big problem."
Xiao Jin stretched out his hand to touch Dabao's forehead with a worried expression. Although he still had a low fever, Dabao's condition seemed to be better than yesterday. Su Ying's medicine should have worked.
Su Ying originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to go to the mountains to find some supplies, but the officials have been patrolling back and forth all the time, if she left the team now, it would be too conspicuous, she was afraid that the officials would make trouble for Xiao Jin and the others while she was away, It can only be given up temporarily.
The team rested for about two quarters of an hour before continuing on their way.
"Move faster, if you can't go down the mountain before dark, you should be prepared to be a wild beast." The official shouted at the front, and when he saw the slow-moving prisoner, he whipped up.
Everyone was afraid of being beaten. Even though they were too weak to lift their legs, they could only continue to grit their teeth and move forward.
The further up the mountain the team went, the darker the light became. Even the scorching sun in the sky could not penetrate the thick leaves and shine into the forest.
Because there were too many people in the team, all the small animals in the forest were frightened away. Along the way, Su Ying didn't even see a wild rabbit.
The sky gradually darkened, but they were still on the mountain, and the forest was so dark that they could hardly see the way forward, so everyone could only move forward in the dark.
"Boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to go down the mountain before dark, so I'd better find an open space to settle down." The relevant official suggested.
The official officer headed by looked at the deep forest that was sunk in the darkness and nodded, "Find a larger open space, it is best to surround people."
"There is a flat **** just ahead. I went to see it. It can accommodate hundreds of people."
"Then go over there."
Under the order of the official messenger, the team arrived at Pingpo.
The vegetation here is relatively sparse, and some weak moonlight can penetrate for illumination.
After arriving at the place, the official sent out today's dry food. Su Ying put down the two children and went to get the dry food. She is not short of this dry food now, but if she doesn't take it, others will definitely see the dry food in her hand. It will cause her unnecessary trouble.
She is not afraid of trouble, but she cannot disregard the safety of her two children.
Though the officials didn't want to give the dry food to Su Ying, they honestly put the dry food in her hand when they thought of Su Ying's fist.
As Su Ying walked back, she heard Er Bao's cry of surprise.
"Brother, you are awake."
Su Ying couldn't help speeding up her pace, and by the dim light of the fire not far away, she saw that Dabao had opened his eyes.
"Ji'er." Xiao Jin stepped forward and carefully helped Dabao onto himself.
Dabao looked around weakly with big eyes, "Daddy..."
Xiao Jin watched Dabao wake up, and the anger between his eyebrows faded slightly, "It's good to wake up."
"Wake up, come, drink some water first." Su Ying handed over the water bag on her body. This water bag was carried with her when she was exiled, but the water bag was not ordinary water, but the The nutrient solution filled in the space.
As soon as Dabao saw Su Ying, his little sword eyebrows frowned, and he stared at her in fear and annoyance, "You bad, bad woman, don't come here."
Seeing the stubbornness of the little guy, Su Ying didn't go forward again, but handed the water bag to Xiao Jin, "It should be fine when he wakes up, this is dry food and water, let him eat some."
Xiao Jin took a serious look at Su Ying before picking up the water bag and bringing it to Dabao's mouth, "Ji'er, drink some water first."
Dabao opened his mouth obediently. The moment the water flowed into his mouth, he opened his eyes wide in surprise. Why does this water taste sweet?
Because Dabao rejected Su Ying, Xiao Jin became a nanny. After feeding Dabao water, he also fed him dry food.
Dabao was still too weak after all, and fell asleep in Xiao Jin's arms not long after he was full.
Su Ying was chewing on dry food, while her pair of shining phoenix eyes were always observing the surrounding situation.
Xiao Jin said that along the way, there were people attacking people from the Qi Palace, which means that among these hundreds of people, there are still many hidden people who want their lives, so she must not take it lightly.
Before going to sleep, the officer held a long whip and walked over the prisoners with sharp eyes.
"Be honest with me at night. Don't think that you can escape from this mountain by yourself. Let me tell you, even if you can escape our eyes, you will not be able to escape the beast's sharp mouth. The prisoners who were exiled before want to escape from this mountain." The bones of those who escaped here have been chewed up by wild beasts, so if you don’t want to die now, just stay here obediently.”
The officer shouted warning words, and walked around among the prisoners before returning to his position to guard.
As the night deepened, the prisoners who had driven for a day all fell into a deep sleep.
Su Ying leaned against the tree and fell asleep. When she felt that the surrounding atmosphere became stable, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Their location happened to be able to avoid the sight of the inspectors from the officials. She glanced at Xiao Jin and the others, and saw that Jiang Yang was not asleep but was standing guard, so she quietly walked towards the mountain in the dark.
Jiang Yang watched her leave, he frowned, secretly thinking that Su Ying was trying to play some tricks again, but because he wanted to protect Xiao Jin's safety, he didn't dare to follow her rashly.
As soon as Su Ying left, another figure in the line of prisoners quietly climbed up. After the inspecting officer passed by, he also ran silently towards the forest. Even though the forest was dangerous, it could be compared Exiled to the Northern Wilderness, there are still some people who will give it a go.
The prisoner ran frantically towards the forest after he was out of the sight of the officer. He didn't know how long he ran until he was too tired to lift his legs before he leaned against a big tree and panted heavily.
The surrounding area was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling to the ground, only the sound of his heavy breathing was left in his ears, but when he slowed down his breathing, he found that the panting in his ears was getting heavier and heavier.
His eyes widened in astonishment, his head stiffened and he looked behind him, meeting a pair of eyes that glowed green in the darkness...
Su Ying went into the storage space after leaving the team. She had consumed a lot of energy throughout the day, and that little dry food could not satisfy her growing desire for meat.
She took a bite of the jerky from the shelf, and the crispy roasted bear meat made her head over in an instant.
After eating and drinking, she got up and took some anesthetics and a dagger from the shelf to prepare for the evening hunt.
As soon as she came out of the space, Su Ying heard a scream piercing the peaceful night sky.
