Chapter 223 If you want to survive, you must obey the rules!
She was already beautiful and so polite and courteous, which made everyone have a favorable impression of her.
Even Li Laosi's expression softened a bit, "Master Hua, you're welcome. We were also in this situation in the first place. It's fate. We came here just to pick up the books. We'll leave as soon as we get the books. We won't disturb you. Peace to all of you.”
Hua Ruyue pointed to the packages, "There are more than a hundred books here, and the rest are still being sorted, and they will all be delivered. However, we have a heartfelt request. Can you please take us out of the mountains? Return to Jiangnan?”
She said it directly without any twists and turns, "We are a group of women, twenty-six people old and young. We have reached the limit of our struggle to get here. If you strong men are not willing to help, we have run out of food and we don't know how to hunt. , I am afraid that I will only end up starving here. Please lend a helping hand, we will be grateful, and it will be rewarded in the future."
After saying that, she and several women knelt down again, which made Li Laosi and others at a loss. They wanted to help but couldn't do anything. They could only say, "Master Hua, get up quickly. Everything will be easy to talk about."
Hua Ruyue didn't get a definite answer, so she looked at everyone with red eyes and tearful eyes. She was 30% pitiful and 70% stubborn and helpless. Everyone felt sour and couldn't help feeling pity.
The soldiers could not bear it anymore and said one after another, "We are guarding the pier to assist and rescue the people of Tianwu. We encountered them here today, so of course we cannot ignore them."
"Yes, Mr. Hua, please get up quickly. Since we have seen you, we will definitely save you."
Li Laosi and Ye Shan looked at each other and did not refuse. As a man, he couldn't just leave these weak women in the woods.
Hua Ruyue noticed their expressions and breathed a sigh of relief before getting up.
After chatting a few more words, she excused herself to pack her things and went back.
There should be nothing major happening here for the time being, so Ye Shan took ten soldiers and Jiayi Liu Yang to lead the way and went to the other side of the mountain to explore the enemy's situation.
Li Laosi took the remaining soldiers to chop down trees to make sledges and twist ropes to prepare the women's luggage.
As expected, the women took their luggage down one after another and piled it in the hay shed.
Finally, with the addition of more than 400 books, seven or eight sledges were filled.
The women smiled shyly and thanked them. Li Laosi didn't think anything of it, but the soldiers blushed and turned around more and more busily.
Three days later, Ye Shan and others came back. They were lucky enough to capture a barbarian and managed to find out the strength of the nearby barbarians.
No one can stay any longer. If the barbarians find out and chase them, they will not be able to escape.
When it was time to set off, Li Laosi looked at the group of chattering women and couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Hua Ruyue to speak.
"Master Hua, we promise to take you on the road, and we will do our best, but you must also obey the instructions along the way, because there are many dangers in the mountains and forests. There are still several miles between going down the mountain and the dock. If you encounter a barbarian, you will be in danger. Life is in danger. If anyone disobeys the arrangements and causes trouble for everyone, then don’t blame the ruthless sword in my hand!”
Hua Ruyue’s pupils narrowed and she quickly said, “Okay, Fourth Master Li, just give me your orders. We will all follow the arrangements and we won’t be a drag on everyone.”
Li Laosi was not polite and pointed at the skirt on her body.
"You all changed your skirts into long trousers, and put on shoes that are convenient for walking. The trousers and sleeves are tucked in, otherwise mosquitoes will easily get in. Wash off the perfume and the like on your body, which will easily attract wild bees. When you are on the road Try not to make any noise, especially screams. If you startle a big beast, you will be in big trouble.
"Put away all small pleasures such as picking flowers. You are not allowed to deviate from the group. Otherwise, you will be bitten by a poisonous snake and there will be no doctor in the group to treat you. Maintain your physical strength as much as possible and use all your strength in walking. We must rush to the riverside dock as soon as possible. ”
Hua Ruyue frowned but nodded, but the women behind her were dissatisfied.
“When we came in, we also climbed over the mountains. We were still wearing skirts and we didn’t delay on our way, right?”
“That’s right, I always wear perfume, so where are the wild bees?”
Li Laosi didn't care about this at all, and simply said, "We will set off in two quarters of an hour. If you don't want to leave, you can stay. If you are willing to follow, you must obey the rules!"
As he said that, he turned to check the sledge.
More than four hundred books were placed on a sledge. He and Jiayi took turns dragging them, otherwise they would not be at ease.
No matter how unhappy the women are, they don’t want to stay. Two quarters of an hour later, they all packed up and set off.
The team on the road was quiet, no one dared to speak, but it soon stopped.
The mountain road was difficult to travel, and we had to take a shortcut. There were vines and dead branches under our feet. Some of the women twisted their feet, or scratched their cheeks, and cried endlessly.
At first, the soldiers showed some pity and put the injured woman on the sledge, but the women were too lazy to be afraid of the hardship and would sit on it even if their arms were scratched. By the end of the day, almost half of the women had barely walked a few steps, and the remaining half were very ill.
The soldiers were half exhausted from dragging the sledges. They also had to set up camp and collect firewood for the fire. They were a little impatient.
There was a woman who coquettishly shouted for hot water to soak her feet and wash her face, treating the soldiers as slaves.
Li Laosi saw it and didn't say a word, and Ye Shan even pretended not to see it.
They have warned them before, but the soldiers still can't control themselves. In the past few days, they have not only been teased by the women, but they have also often interceded on their behalf.
Now let them thoroughly understand what beauty and kindness are, so that they can remember it long.
Li Laosi didn't know what a song and dance troupe was, nor had he seen a song and dance, but thinking about it, he knew that these women lived by pleasing wealthy people, and they must have been pampered and courted by men on weekdays.
Although it is pitiful that we are in trouble now, we cannot change some of our habits.
He does not despise their origins, but he does not want to get close to them or be driven by them.
I arrived on the eighth or ninth day and returned home for more than half a month.
It was already half a month later when everyone finally walked out of the forest and vaguely saw the river.
The group of women have long lost their squeamish looks. They all have their heads wrapped, carrying packages on their backs, and their trousers tied around their legs. They are no different from women in the mountains and wild villages.
On the third day on the road, they completely exhausted the patience and compassion of the soldiers, and then they were left to collect firewood, boil water and make porridge and other chores.
As long as they are not seriously injured, they have to walk on their own feet without any preferential treatment.
The women no longer joked and chatted with the soldiers, and became a little more fearful, with vague anger and resentment hidden.
Yeshan took two soldiers and returned to the dock to report the news and look for someone to respond.
Hua Ruyue thought for a while, then changed into a dress, dressed up and put her hair up. Although her eyebrows were still tired, she looked even more pitiful because of her beauty.
Li Laosi saw her, guessed what she was thinking, and ignored her.
He was very anxious. It had been almost a month since he came out, and his family didn't know how to care about him.
Had he known that these women were so troublesome, he would have left after asking for a collection of books, and he would not have taken them with him. It's okay to wait until you return to Jiangnan and tell the Marquis to send someone to rescue him.
But there is no regret medicine in the world!
The people slowly went down the mountain and hid in the woods, waiting for help.
At dusk, a large group of people finally came running over.
When they saw their own people, the soldiers were all happy to welcome them out.
The women couldn't bear it anymore and crowded to the front one after another.
Hua Ruyue is clustered in the middle, looking up at the mountain road.
The cavalry team of several hundred people, with the sound of hoofbeats and dust, was very loud.
The first person stood tall and tall, riding a tall black horse, wearing silver armor, holding a long knife in his hand, and rushed over majestically.
The fiery red sunset glow in the sky coated his silver armor with a magnificent color, as if he was a **** from a myth.
The horse came closer, and the general immediately raised his hand and opened his visor.
Hua Ruyue's heart suddenly started beating wildly...
Hintinghou, this must be Xintinghou!
Three more, the Labor Day is in the flower of labor, great!
