Chapter 138: Keep on Going
Song Rending quietly began to pick his hands. Without the words in his heart spinning like a wheel, the Song family members calmed down and listened attentively.
Based on his observations in recent times, Zhao Lang has discovered very subtly that the Song family members, who occasionally have confused expressions, may be able to hear sounds that others cannot hear.
Unfortunately, he had no evidence and didn't know what sounds these people could hear.
Every time, I could only look at the messy expressions on the faces of the Song family members, feeling rare doubts and a rare itch in my heart.
However, he felt that there might be people like him among the Song family.
After admiring the messy expressions of most people in the Song family, Zhao Lang glanced at Song Rending who had a dazed look on his face.
According to his observation, apart from the two uncles-in-law of the Song family, only Song Rending stood out as being dull while everyone else in the Song family had a confused expression.
The remaining two uncles at least had normal expressions. Only Song Rending looked dazed, as if he was daydreaming.
In this regard, he classified Song Rending's expression and behavior as being as confused as he was, and a little silly.
Therefore, when he saw Song Rending's dazed expression again, Zhao Lang reached out and took the bag hanging on Song Rending's shoulder.
The child is already so pitiful, just give him some relief!
Zhao Lang carried two small bags and took two steps forward, walking side by side with Song Liwu.
Song Rending, who had just come out of the conversation with 886, inexplicably felt the burden on his shoulders lighten. He looked at Zhao Lang who was walking in front of him with a puzzled look, and then touched his face.
【6Ah, do I look haggard? 】
Song Rending felt that she had lost a little weight recently because she had consumed a lot of energy. However, she did not feel that she had lost too much weight, after all, she had not lost money on food.
But if she wasn't haggard, why would people sympathize with her and snatch her bag to relieve her stress?
886 was concentrating on talking to Song Rending just now. As for his analysis of Zhao Lang's series of expressions, it was not that his analysis was incomplete, but that he did not see the expression at all.
886, who is not good at lying, naturally tells the truth.
He replied to Song Rending very straightforwardly with three words - "I don't know".
Song Rending felt very upset at the answer of these three words. Seeing Zhao Lang walking happily with two bags on his back, Song Rending simply did not return the bags for him.
Anyway, it's just a bundle with nothing in it. Although it's a bit heavy, it can't weigh anyone down. Just treat it as a training for this poor little villain!
Song Rending happily found an excuse, then took the bag from Old Lady Song next to her, and put it on his own back despite her objections.
Let’s just have a good time on the road! When the third team catches up and there are uncertainties in the team, the road won’t be so pleasant anymore!
******
Under the leadership of team leader Hong Xiao, the third team sped up their journey without stopping, and finally got out of the mountain road and reached the first checkpoint of the official road.
When they saw the officers and soldiers at the checkpoint, everyone in the team breathed a sigh of relief, especially the team leader Hong Xiao.
The scattered appearance of their team, coupled with what the second team had said before, that the first team had encountered bandits, the officers and soldiers guarding the checkpoint guessed what they had encountered without asking.
Because identity verification is required at the checkpoint, especially for a team like theirs with a leader, their pass must be verified, so the entire team was able to rest on the spot.
The officers and soldiers here were checking the pass documents, and Captain Hong Xiao also asked him the information he wanted to know.
When asked how long the team ahead had walked, the officer took out the map, calculated the time, and gave an approximate range:
"The team ahead of you has already entered Pingzhou. I'm afraid it will take another half a day to reach the next checkpoint, which is here, Yangshuyi. What? Are you trying to catch up with the team ahead of you?"
Looking at the distance on the map, Captain Hong Xiao estimated in his mind how long it would take for their team to catch up if they kept walking and if they encountered any danger on the way.
So when he heard the officers and soldiers' questions, he just answered casually: "We suffered heavy casualties from the bandits. We must join up with the team ahead to be safer."
The officers and soldiers just asked and he just gave the same answer. No one belonged to the same place, and there was no relationship between them. After their team passed the checkpoint, they had nothing to do with others, so who would say more?
After spending money to get a new map from the officers and soldiers, Captain Hong Xiao became the organizer and the team continued to move forward.
Because many people died in the previous bandit disaster, even though everyone in the team is very tired, they are concerned about their own lives and this group of people did not object.
Not to mention that the official road is much easier to walk on than the mountain road. Thinking that they are heading south, the road will get better and better. Everyone held on to sticks and followed Captain Hong Xiao, walking down step by step.
When they arrived at the official road, under the sun, in a spacious place, they took a closer look at the third team and found that the team, which could have been very long, now had only about twenty to nearly thirty people, and that was including the men of Hong Xiao who had not been killed.
In other words, due to a bandit incident, most of the people in the team died.
Su Xigen and Zhang Chuncao, carrying Old Lady Su and Su Fuzhu, had now reached the front of the team. They were walking uncomfortably and did not dare to make any sound.
Without a favorable environment, Su Xigen, who was originally a little cunning, regained his mind.
He recalled the arrogant words he had boasted at the beginning when he relied on the Mu family's convoy, fearing that Captain Hong Xiao would bear a grudge against him, so now he was as honest as possible.
At most, he would curse Mu Yan, the provider of the favorable academic performance and environment, in his heart, accusing him of having bad intentions and organizing the convoy too large. Otherwise, how could their team be coveted by the bandits?
But Mu Yan, who was scolded by him, was not in a good situation.
Old Mrs. Su was carried on Su Xigen's back because her already lame leg had fallen again and she couldn't walk for a while. Su Fuju was carried on Zhang Chuncao's back because her skin was broken and she was frightened and she refused to walk on her own.
But the reason why Mu Yan was carried on someone’s back was not so simple.
He was already injured, and all the things in the convoy were looted, including all the good medicine. The only thing he could use was the ordinary medicine distributed by Captain Hong Xiao.
Although he was an illegitimate child, he was brought up in a pampered environment. He had never suffered such an injury before, and his wounds had never been treated properly in such a harsh environment.
So at this moment, Mu Yan's wounds were inflamed, he had a high fever, and he had already fainted.
The people who carried him on their backs could only be said to have some conscience, but there was really no way they could help him get treatment.
Not to mention, Mu Yan's luck was being absorbed bit by bit by Su Fuzhu, who subconsciously absorbed other people's luck to preserve himself.
This made his situation even worse.
