Chapter 140 Convergence
Chapter 140 Convergence
Half an hour later, we officially set off.
Not only was the flatbed cart loaded to the brim, they also seized the White Bear Country cavalry's horses, armor and weapons.
War horses pulled the flatbed cart in front, with guards walking on both sides to escort it. The cart was not only loaded with bags of salt, but also several seriously injured and dead horses.
Even when food is scarce, horse meat can be eaten.
Even though the soldiers couldn't eat it, there were so many hungry civilians, so they wouldn't waste it.
In addition, Su Chengnan has already mastered her riding skills, and the warhorse that accompanied her in fighting the fire in the mountains has become her exclusive mount. She takes Su Linhua with her, two of them per horse, and follows Lu Chaofeng and others forward.
"Sister, when did you learn to ride a horse?"
"After we came out of Yinmeng Mountain, Jiayi took me for a few days, and then I rode on my own."
"You learn so fast! I want to learn too."
"No problem." Su Chengnan agreed readily.
"However, I only know how to ride but not how to teach. I'd better find a trainer for you. Tell me who you want to teach you."
Su Linhua murmured for a long time, looking left and right, and finally muttered: "A Shun has a good figure, but he's a little silly. As for Gangzi Bingsan, he's too familiar and boring. It's a pity that Qingshan hasn't recovered yet."
Su Chengnan frowned, pulled his neck back half an inch, and quickly glanced back at her, "You damn girl, what are you thinking about! Seriously."
"It doesn't matter. Anything is fine. As long as I can learn it." Su Linhua smiled and answered honestly.
The two sisters got together and laughed and chatted non-stop.
Because they had to consider the flatbed carts, all the horses walked on the sides, leaving as much space in the middle of the road as possible for transport. As a result, everyone kept their distance and walked in a vertical line. No one paid attention to what the two were saying.
Su Linhua's arms were around Su Chengnan's waist, and she would feed her a piece of chocolate or spicy dried food from time to time. She seemed very energetic along the way.
It took about two hours.
They finally caught up with the group of refugees.
From a distance, Su Chengnan saw Liuzi and his companions waiting by the roadside, looking towards this side.
"Haha, we're almost there." she said excitedly.
"That's great! My butt is sore from sitting. Finally I don't have to ride a horse." Su Linhua also laughed happily when she heard it.
But Lu Chaofeng, who was riding in front, heard the sisters' hearty laughter and couldn't help but turned around and asked, "What are you so happy about?"
Uh……
Su Chengnan's smile froze on her face. In her joy, she had forgotten that she was the only one with exceptional eyesight. Now, how could she explain this?
"I..." She hesitated for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, "My sister just told me a joke to make me happy."
"Really?" Lu Chaofeng raised his eyebrows.
"Hahahaha, that's right, I was just teasing my elder sister. The prince is open-minded and he is definitely not interested in the affairs of us girls." Su Linhua teased him a few times, and sure enough, he didn't ask any more questions.
Ah Shun ran forward for a circle, then turned back and said, "Master, we've caught up."
"Great! Come on, everyone, work hard, we'll be able to rest soon."
"Yes!"
Lu Chaofeng has been highly concentrated for several days in a row, and his physical load has almost reached its limit.
"Grandpa Yu, Granny Jiang! They're back."
"It's the prince! The young lady is back too."
"Let's go, everyone come and greet us!"
After Liuzi finished speaking, everyone was excited.
They advanced at full speed all the way, not daring to rest or light torches, until they entered the depths of the mountains and stopped in this canyon that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Qingshan, who heard the noise, could no longer sit still. He propped himself up and tried to get up, but was pushed back by the guard who was watching over him.
"Brother Qingshan, don't get excited. I'll go check it out for you."
"Okay, okay, go quickly! Thank God the prince and the others are finally here."
He was always worried that something might happen to them. If that happened, he would never be able to atone for his sins even if he died a hundred times. He would probably only be able to die in front of the princess's tomb to atone for his sins.
Fortunately, I am back. It is really the blessing of the Bodhisattva and the blessing of my ancestors!
The two gangs looked at each other from a distance. Ah Shun couldn't wait any longer and ran back and forth twice.
The people looked at the huge flatbed trucks, stretched their necks and talked in low voices.
"What do you think is in that car?"
"I don't know, but they insist on shipping it out at this critical moment. I'm afraid it's food."
"The food is good. I'm almost starving and I don't have the strength to walk."
"I don't think so!" someone said, hands tucked into their sleeves. "Have you forgotten? We searched all those houses in the village and found nothing. Not to mention food, not even a few decent thick winter clothes. I don't believe they could have brought any food out."
"What's in the car?"
"Could it be... that they are all those who died in battle?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.
Just now, someone wanted to run over to help out and show off in front of the prince.
But now I thought it might be a corpse.
Everyone stopped, lowered their heads, and silently sat back on the stones they had just warmed up.
"You can't do this, it's unlucky!"
"Yes."
"Let's go, let's all take a break."
The intersection that was crowded just now was suddenly filled with only the people from Tieniu Village and the guards who escorted them.
Liu Laosan heard what they said and said indignantly, "You cowards! If he hadn't been protecting the common people, he wouldn't have died. And you are so unlucky!
"I see you're all ungrateful bastards without a conscience!"
"Only remembering to eat, not remembering the kindness!"
These people came later, and they had always disliked those in Tieniu Village who had closer relationships with the guards.
Now Liu Laosan was pointing at people's noses and cursing them in front of everyone, so they naturally couldn't save face.
"What did you say!"
"What's it to you whether I go or not?"
"If you want to be a lackey and curry favor with someone, just go there yourself. Don't just talk nonsense."
Liu Laosan was too lazy to waste time talking to them. He spat at them and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "Okay, you ungrateful wolves, just wait!"
"Since you don't want to work hard, I think you're going to have to eat. We don't want to keep idle people in the team!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Just work if you want. We don't eat your food anyway."
Liu Laosan sneered at the man, memorized his face carefully, and then rushed forward with his brothers, "Let's go! Let's go help!"
"go!"
The men sitting behind the rocks were still cursing. Qingshan was already feeling extremely guilty, and after hearing these words, he could no longer endure it.
"You all shut up!"
