The team of more than one hundred people is so huge, and most of them are old and weak women and children, bustling behind the team. The cries of the child, the screams of the woman scolding the child, and the frightened urging of the man... were intertwined, and the birds perched in the forest were frightened, flapping their wings and flying around.
The village chief, who followed closely behind the Yu family, looked back at the chaotic team, couldn't bear it any longer, raised his voice, and reprimanded loudly: "Men in every family, show yourself like a man!! Take care of your wives and children!! Noisy!" Are you yelling because you think the Japanese pirates don’t know where we are going? If you attract Japanese pirates, no one will care about your life!!”
The words of the village chief quickly spread among the villagers, and the team became quiet. The occasional cry of a child was immediately calmed down by their parents. A voice came from the team: "Aren't there dozens of guards who know kung fu in the other courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion? They won't refuse to save them, will they?"
The village head glanced at the guards who were still looking, sneered, and said to the direction of the voice, "Who are you? Let the guards of the palace rescue you? They want to protect the princess, how old are you?" Face, lift yourself up to the position of the concubine? Stop talking nonsense, save some strength and go on your way? If you are caught up by Japanese pirates, do you think the guards will rescue you?"
The nearby villagers looked at the guard's indifferent and condensed expression, feeling uneasy. Who is so blind, dare to offend the master guard at this time, if they turn their backs and don't let them follow, Xishan is so big, it is easy to get lost in the mountain, if they break into the territory of ferocious beasts, I'm afraid there will be no Japanese pirates chasing them, when night comes Beasts can tear people to pieces! !
Yu Xiaocao in front, hearing that voice seemed to belong to Mrs. Zhang, sneered in her heart. You think you are the sun, and the earth revolves around you? Want the palace guards to protect you? You dare to think too! ! Dream it! !
She shuttled through the bushes as tall as a person, and the guards around her kept waving their swords, cutting off the bushes that blocked the way, and opened a way for the sedan chair carrying the princess. As a result, the team's speed slowed down.
The few left behind, still reluctant to part with the belongings they brought out, marched with difficulty in the forest. Suddenly, Yu Dashan, who was walking at the back, heard faint screams behind him, and it sounded like he was not too far away from them.
Yu Dashan was so frightened that his feet went limp, he threw the package on his shoulders to the ground, and ran forward desperately, shouting as he ran, "The Japanese pirates are chasing us, run quickly!! The Japanese pirates are coming..."
Zhang Shi and Li Shi who were left behind were immediately stunned. They never expected that Yu Dashan, who usually looks very filial and caring for his wife, would leave them, the old and the weak, and just run away for their lives.
Li Shi quickly realized that she turned her head and glanced at the dense forest behind her. Although she couldn't see the figure of the Japanese pirates, her voice was already clearly distinguishable. Yu Dashan's shout just now pointed out the direction for the other party, and hundreds of Japanese pirates chased towards this direction.
Following Yu Dashan's example, Li threw away all the things in his hands, stepped forward lightly, left Zhang who was carrying a basket on his back, and ran forward panting and desperately. She thought that as long as she passed more people, she would be safer.
Zhang was so anxious that tears were about to fall. At this time, she regretted and hated her own son who had been kind to her for decades. When the danger came, she actually left her as an old lady and ran away by herself; The heart of Yu Hai's family. If she had been kinder to Yu Hai's family back then, with Yu Hai's benevolent and generous temperament, she would never have done something like Yu Dashan. She is the only one protected by the guards now.
Seeing the people around her, Mrs. Zhang dropped their belongings one after another, and fled in all directions in a panic. She also doesn't care about much, anyway, she has already brought the money close to her body, and the things outside her body have to be spent with life! Throwing the pannier on her back to the ground, Mrs. Zhang walked crookedly on the rugged mountain road with her little feet, trying hard to keep up with the pace of the team. She doesn't want to be left behind, she doesn't want to be the first victim of the Japanese pirates.
"What should we do? The Japanese pirates are catching up! We can't just watch them hurt our folks in Dongshan Village!!" Yu Hai clenched his fists unbearably when he heard the messy voices behind the team.
Yu Xiaocao frowned tightly, bit her lip, and said to the guard Zheng: "Captain Zheng, with our current speed, the pirates should be able to catch up soon."
Guard Chief Zheng drew out the long sword at his waist, nodded and said, "Miss Yu, don't worry, you just lead the way. I'll take a few brothers to the back to intercept the Japanese pirates and buy you more time to retreat..."
Yu Hai volunteered: "I am familiar with this forest, and I am also good at hunting in the forest. I will go with you!"
When Liu Shi heard this, her steps staggered, and a panic rose in her heart. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "The child's father..."
Yu Hai gave her a comforting smile, and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry! In the mountains and forests, you don't dare to brag about anything else. I'm good at hiding and avoiding me. If the timing is wrong, I will retreat quickly. Don't worry, I won't smack my face to pretend to be a fat man, and pretend to be a hero!"
Chief Guard Zheng also said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry! As long as I am here, I will guarantee the safety of Brother Yu! Although there are many Japanese pirates, they are good at naval warfare and not good at forest warfare. We will not fight recklessly with Japanese pirates! !"
Liu's face was pale, she knew that the man had made up her mind to go, she said nothing was useless, she could only nod her head, and told him to be careful, and to think that there were still wives and children at home, waiting for him to take care of them!
At this time, Mrs. Liu felt extremely distressed, and the eldest son went to the pier to report the news by himself in such a critical situation. I heard from my youngest daughter that there are many Japanese pirate ships going there in the direction of the pier. As one can imagine, the pier is equally dangerous. Now, men know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the mountains. How could she not worry about anxiety
After Yu Hai left with Chief Guard Zheng, Cherry and Aunt Zhao, the lady in charge of the pig farm, supported Liu Shi one by one, and followed closely beside Concubine Jing's soft sedan chair. Princess Jing also turned around to comfort her. Concubine Jing was not as calm as she appeared on the outside, but she saw that such a small person like Yu Xiaocao was able to calm down and hold herself in the face of danger, leading others in front. Her heart inexplicably settled down.
Yu Xiaocao was also worried about her father going to face those Japanese pirates. However, the Japanese pirates were getting closer and closer, and there was not enough time for them to reach the hidden valley. Someone must buy precious time for them. Although those guards are skilled, they are not as familiar with the terrain of Xishan as her father. If the old man goes out, the interception work will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
In order to ensure the safety of her father, she sent Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to protect her father. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai can compete with the Wolf King if they just take one out. Don't look at Xiao Hei who is usually cute and likes to be close to people, so it's no problem to deal with a black bear alone!
The team slowly moved in one direction, and the people behind couldn't help but squeeze forward. The originally loose team became compact. After Yu Dashan ran all the way, he was finally able to see the guards of the palace. He tried his best to squeeze into the crowd, and gradually approached the crowd of Yu's family.
"Don't stop me, let me in, my surname is Yu too, I'm Yu Hai's eldest brother!!" Yu Dashan usually looked dull, but now his eyes were red, trying to argue with the guards who blocked him, trying to squeeze Enter the protection circle of the guards.
Old Yutou was also worried about his son and grandson at this moment. Hearing the movement, he slowed down and came to the side of the guards blocking Yu Dashan. Old Yu turned his head to look behind Yu Dashan, disappointment crept up his face, he sighed, shook his head, and said: "Dashan... you actually left your mother and your wife to escape by yourself, you... are still human ?"
"Why am I not human anymore? The two of them, one old and the other fat, can only be held back! If the pirates catch up with us, the three of us will die!! Why can't I escape first? The one who escapes is one!!" Yu Dashan's eyes were red, and he almost lost his mind.
Yu Caifeng looked at him contemptuously, and said, "You deserve the surname Yu? Just you, an unkind and unfilial fellow who is not as good as an animal, get away from us quickly, and don't dirty our eyes!!"
"I have been your father's son for thirty years, and my surname has been Yu for thirty years. You married girl, what right do you have to not allow me to be named Yu?" look like.
The old man sighed: "The more urgent the moment, the more you can see a person's character. If you can take your mother and your daughter-in-law with you now, my old man will be brave enough to plead with the concubine and concubine and give you permission." Come in and be with us. But... a person who can even abandon his own mother, what else is there for me to plead for you? I don't have that face!!"
Old Yu took a deep look at him, his eyes full of complicated emotions. I thought that Yu Dashan was different from his mother, that bad bamboos produced good ones. But now it seems that they are indeed mother and son, full of coldness and extreme selfishness in their bones! ! Shaking his head, he turned and left, no matter how Yu Dashan called and begged, he never looked back.
Besides, Yu Hai brought Chief Guard Zheng and a dozen guards with good hands, and quickly came to the end of the team. Seeing him, Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. She strode on her little feet and tried hard to keep up with the team.
Yu Hai just glanced at her indifferently, as if she was an unknown passerby. He looked at the nearby terrain, and said to the guard Zheng: "The situation is urgent, listen to the movement, the vanguard of the Japanese pirates should be here in a quarter of an hour. Let's set up a few traps for catching large beasts nearby, and wait for them Take the bait!"
