Chapter 7 Fright Night

At   xu, the sky is getting dark.

  Cheng Ling looked around carefully through the gap in his shack.

   There is no moon in the sky, and the starlight is sparse.

  The hazy night obscured everything, including all the miserable winds and rains in the refugee area outside the city, which seemed to be eliminated into silence as the sun went down.

  Cheng Ling said softly: "Auntie, we can go now."

   Mu Sanniang was taken aback and said, "Don't you wait until the middle of the night?"

  The second half of the night is generally the time when the human body is most exhausted. At this time, people's vigilance will also be minimized. It is reasonable to say that the second half of the night is the most suitable time to leave quietly.

  Cheng Ling's eyes turned slightly. In her field of vision, although the night was blurry, more or less, some subtle sounds brought by the human body when walking, and the shaking of shadows, always couldn't escape her eyes and ears.

  So, in her eyes, the current refugee area is like a dynamite keg that is quiet, but in fact it is quietly baked on the fire, and it may explode at any time!

  Cheng Ling whispered: "Auntie, did you see that those people are walking around frequently and hooking up."

   During the day, Daddy Guo's family hit a wall with Cheng Ling, but this obviously didn't stop him from starting a riot. On the contrary, because the news leaked on Cheng Ling's side, it was likely to make him more impatient.

   Based on the current observed trends, Cheng Ling came to the conclusion: "Auntie, there is a great possibility, wait until the second half of the night...they will rush to the city gate!"

   Mu Sanniang understood and immediately said, "Okay, then we'll leave right away."

   Is there anything you can't go?

  The reason why I lived in this place was because the nobles in the city would cook porridge, and those who were hungry and frightened wanted to take a break, so that they could get a few bites of food, and one more day would be a day to live.

   On the other hand, I actually fantasized about going to the city to live...

   Just imagine this thing, just think about it, how many others can be realized?

  Cheng Dani had tears in her eyes, she just said softly, "We're leaving after only a few days."

  Where are you going?

do not know.

   Cheng Dani wiped away her tears and took the initiative to pick up the heaviest burden.

   In fact, there are not many things. The heaviest package is their clay pots and broken bowls, as well as a few bamboo tubes of water.

  These things are worthless, but they are indispensable on the road to escape.

   Cheng Erni and Mu Sanniang each took a bag, but Cheng Ling was empty-handed instead.

   She just quietly buckled a Swiss Army Knife in the palm of her hand, and if there is someone who doesn't have eyes to stop her on her way out, she doesn't mind using a weapon.

  Cheng Ling took the lead, and a group of four walked out of the shack silently.

  The night gave them the best cover, and the mother and daughter went from the side of the shack at the fastest speed into the forest behind.

The moment    entered the mountain, Cheng Dani exhaled heavily.

  Cheng Erni whispered happily: "That's great, no one will stop us!"

  Cheng Ling also breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't feel that her previous vigilance was unnecessary. On the contrary, she became more cautious after entering the mountain.

  Cheng Ling said: "Auntie, wait here for me for a moment." After speaking, she came to the back of the big rock where she had been hiding before.

With the help of stones, she quickly took out a dark blue diagonal canvas bag from the space, and then put the telescope, insect repellant, small compound crossbow, windproof matches, compass, survival whistle, binding belt, strong light in the space. The flashlight and other items were put in the canvas bag.

   Of course, at the same time, Cheng Ling didn't forget to take out a few more compressed biscuits, tore them off the packaging, put them in a fresh-keeping bag, and put them in a canvas bag as well.

   After doing all this, she walked out from behind the stone and returned to Mu Sanniang and her two older sisters.

   Mu Sanniang's eyes were sharp, and in the dim night, she could see that she had a bag on her body, and she was a little surprised: "Brother Ling, is this the bag you picked up in the mountains?"

   Yes, the excuse Cheng Ling made before was just waiting to be echoed here.

Cheng Ling hurriedly said: "Yes, A-Niang, I was afraid that it would be wrong to be seen, so I hid this bag behind a stone. A-Niang, there are some strange things in the bag, I took a look and it was very useful. ."

   As she spoke, she took out the bottle of insect repellent from her bag.

The    insect repellent is a spray type. Cheng Ling pressed the pump head and sprayed it on the legs and feet of Mu Sanniang and two older sisters, and sprayed it on himself at the same time.

  Cheng Dani took a step back in fright first, Cheng Erni covered her mouth with her hand, Mu Sanniang said cautiously, "Brother Ling, what are you doing?"

  Cheng Lingdao: "Auntie, I've entered the mountain. The first thing that matters is to prevent mosquitoes. This thing can repel insects."

After   , she put the insect repellant back into the canvas bag.

   You don't need to explain why you know "this thing can repel insects", there is no need for that, and now is not the right time.

   While speaking, Cheng Ling took out the composite crossbow from the canvas bag.

  This compound crossbow is a foldable and lightweight type, which can be loaded with five arrows at a time. After opening, the widest part is only a foot in size, and can be used with one hand.

  Cheng Ling held the crossbow machine in his left hand, and casually broke a branch about three feet in length in his right hand. She made her way, tapping branches on both sides of the road as she walked up the hill.

   The purpose of this is to "beat the grass and startle the snake".

  After the summer flood, the weather in Pingxian is still hot, and the mountains are full of insects and snakes. It is actually a very dangerous thing to go up the mountain at night.

   But Cheng Ling had already planned to go over this mountain tonight and go to Wei County in the north of the mountain.

   The farther away the refugees who would start riots, the better. Cheng Ling didn't think they would succeed in the matter of rushing to the city. Therefore, to avoid the liquidation of Pingxian officers and soldiers, the best way is to stay away quickly.

  Just like that, the mother and daughter were touching the darkness, and they were staring at the sparse stars in the sky, and they didn't know how long they had gone.

   It seemed that he had reached the middle of the mountain with difficulty. Cheng Erni was gasping for breath and couldn't bear to suggest, "Auntie, why don't we stop for a while and put a torch on before we go?"

   As soon as the voice fell, I suddenly felt the sky above light up suddenly!

  Cheng Erni let out a sigh, turned around to look, and suddenly found out, where is the dawn? It was the location of Ping County below, and suddenly countless torches were lit at the same time.

   The light of the fire shone, and the four of them stood on the mountain, condescending, and they could see clearly from a distance.

  The city gate over there was wide open, and countless officers and soldiers rushed out, fighting with the refugees crowded at the city gate.

  Blood splattered everywhere, and a scream resounded through the night sky.

   It was obviously far away, but at this moment, the four people standing on the mountain felt invariably that those distant screams seemed to be ringing right in their ears.

  Cheng Dani bit her lip, Cheng Erni couldn't help trembling: "If we hadn't left..."

   A gust of wind suddenly came from the side, and Cheng Ling was instantly alert. He raised his left hand between his sides, and a crossbow arrow was like a meteor chasing the moon, attacking the black shadow that came.

  Cheng Dani: "Ah!"

   The screaming didn't stop, and the arrow hit the black shadow's neck, and it instantly flew upside down and fell to the ground.

   Cheng Erni exclaimed: "It's a wolf!"
