Yoyo, who was curled up in the cave and sleeping after eating and drinking, woke up, looked at Yingbao confusedly for a while, got up and walked over to her and rubbed against her.
Yingbao touched its head and began to think about how to defend against the enemy if it encountered a Jurchen army.
Even if they all learned martial arts, they could not defeat the same number of desperadoes just by themselves, so they had to think of a foolproof plan, preferably to scare them off without bloodshed.
She cast her eyes on the strange god mask and a set of sacrificial robes worn during sacrifices.
If it really doesn't work, then pretend to be a god.
Yingbao went to the second floor and picked a lot of flowers, filling two large baskets, including peonies, roses, and **.
Prepare a few more large gourds.
These gourds were not empty and were very heavy, so I could throw them away unexpectedly.
By the way, there is also the big stone that I picked up some time ago.
These things can be used to hit people.
As for Yoyo...
Yingbao thought about it, then picked some red and blue flowers, put them in a pot and boiled them. When they were slightly cooler, she scooped up the flowers and smeared them all over Youyou's body.
Soon Yoyo's fur turned red, which looked quite beautiful.
Before dawn the next day, Yingbao got up quickly.
Zhang Min also woke up and pulled Jiang Wu and Hu Zi up.
The four of them ate some dry food and drank some water and rushed to the provincial capital.
But they just watched from afar and did not get close, because many cavalry were gradually surrounding the gate of the city.
The common people who had been wandering around the city gate fled in all directions upon seeing this, but were soon caught up by the cavalry and fell in a pool of blood after being killed by their swords.
"Let's go back!" Yingbao pulled her younger brother Jiang Wu, called on her senior brothers and Huzi to follow, and the four of them quickly went into the woods.
But the woods here were too thin and could hardly hide any traces of people, and soon foreign cavalry came chasing after them, howling.
Zhang Min looked back while running and saw that there were only five or six cavalrymen chasing him, which made him feel uneasy.
He really wanted to kill these men and take their horses.
But you may think about it, but there is a high chance that it will not succeed.
The Jurchens were a brave and horse-riding people; their children were like newborn lambs in front of them.
"Stop looking! Run!" Yingbao saw those people getting closer and closer, and hurriedly pulled her brother to run to higher ground.
Zhang Min and Hu Zi followed Ying Bao closely, and their movements were not slow either.
Although they were fast, they were not as fast as horses. If the Jurchens were not good at riding horses in the mountains, they would have caught up with them long ago.
Yingbao climbed to the highest point and looked down, and saw several Jurchen men with untidy beards and strange braids like wild beasts. They laughed and treated the chase as a kind of hunting. They immediately drew the bows and arrows from their backs and pulled the bowstrings towards Yingbao and the other children.
Yingbao's face was as cold as frost and she waved her arm.
Several large rocks flew out and instantly hit two war horses and the people on them.
The horse and the man wailed and fell to the ground.
The others were stunned and hurried to check on their companions. They saw that they were vomiting blood and there was no hope for them.
When I looked up again, the kids were gone.
The Jurchens were so angry that they howled, but they did not dare to chase them anymore.
As for Yingbao, she led a few people and ran quickly into a forest. They sat down to rest only when they could no longer run.
Hu Zi and Zhang Min asked Ying Bao curiously: "Did you push the stone down?"
They were so focused on observing the bandits that they didn't notice what was happening on Yingbao's side.
Yingbao nodded.
She was so tired that she didn't want to say anything more.
Jiang Wu secretly glanced at his sister but didn't dare to ask.
The sister threw several large stones out of thin air, and Jiang Wu was standing nearby, watching it clearly.
He was so shocked at the time that he would have forgotten to escape if his sister hadn't pulled him back.
Zhang Min took a few sips from the bamboo kettle and asked breathlessly, "Yingbao, where are we going next?"
We definitely can’t go to the city gate, but we can go directly into the city by water.
But they have no boat.
The fishing boats around had already left, so how could we dare to stay
Yingbao thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a way to get into the city."
The second brother finally arrived in Jingzhou and it was impossible for him to return the same way, so he could only find a way to enter the city.
"How to get in?" Zhang Min handed the kettle to Hu Zi.
It is impossible to swim into the city, even if you are good at swimming, you cannot swim such a long distance.
Moreover, both sides of the waterway were guarded not only by soldiers from Daqian, but also by bandits.
Yingbao: "Let's go to the riverside to see if there is a boat." It doesn't matter if there is none, because there is a gourd boat in his cave.
After a short rest, they rushed to the riverside.
Along the way, they met several groups of people who were in a state of panic and ran into the mountains with their families. They found that there was no food or water to drink. They had no choice but to rush to the river with Yingbao and the others, hoping to find a fishing boat.
The result was disappointing, there was nothing by the river.
None of the fishermen who usually fished on the river were seen, and no one knew where they had gone.
Yingbao and a few others deliberately avoided these people and walked towards the south.
Finally, they saw a large reed field. They looked at each other and went into the reeds.
They walked in the reeds for a long time and finally found a suitable place. They turned over some reeds and the four of them sat down to rest.
Zhang Min took out the dry food he brought with him and distributed it to several people. He shook the bamboo tube and found that there was no water left.
Yingbao took the bamboo tube, stood up and said, "I'm going to the river to fetch water, don't wander around."
Jiang Wu immediately stood up as well, "Sister, I'll go with you."
Zhang Min and Hu Zi also wanted to go when they saw this, but Ying Bao stopped them: "Just stay still. If there are too many people walking around, people outside will see us."
Zhang Min and Hu Zi had no choice but to sit down again.
In fact, Yingbao was right. There was a team of cavalry searching outside.
They sat high on their horses, their eyes roaming over the reeds like hawks.
The reed field was vast and lush, so even if they rode their horses to a high place, they could not see clearly what was going on inside.
Yingbao and Jiang Wu were short, and the sound of them moving through the reeds was like a breeze.
Yingbao came to the riverside, where there were many reeds and thorns.
She took out a few eggs from the cave and stuffed them into her brother's hand, whispering, "Eat a few first, and bring a few back for Senior Brother and Hu Zi."
Jiang Wu understood what his sister meant and ate the boiled eggs in silence.
Yingbao broke off a few reed leaves, and in a few seconds she made a small basket. She then took out seven or eight raw eggs from the cave and placed them in it.
There was no way. I couldn't explain where the cooked eggs came from, so I could only give them raw eggs.
Afterwards, he filled the two bamboo tubes with pupil spring water and walked back with Jiang Wu.
During the process, Jiang Wu was choked by the egg. Fortunately, his sister patted his back and he drank some water before he could swallow it.
Zhang Min and Hu Zi were surprised to see a basket of eggs: "Are these wild pheasant eggs? How come they are as big as domestic chicken eggs?"
Jiang Wu lowered his head guiltily, not daring to face Hu Zi and Zhang Min.
Yingbao said seriously, "Maybe the pheasant eggs in the reed field are just like domestic eggs."
Zhang Min thought so too, so he picked up an egg and knocked it on a small stone. Then he carefully peeled off a few small pieces of the eggshell, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth, enjoying the delicious and sweet taste.
He had also eaten raw eggs when traveling with his master and senior brother, so he didn't care much about it.
Hu Zi couldn't stand it. He watched Zhang Min pour the raw egg into his mouth, with the yolk flowing down the corners of his mouth. He felt so disgusted.
