Chapter 304 The dark clouds are thick, but no danger can be seen?
Going further, we entered a winding mountain road. The road was very narrow, and outside the carriage was an abyss. If there was a car coming from the opposite side, we had to find a slightly wider place to get out of the way.
No one dares to walk on such a road without knowing the situation ahead, and there is no way to avoid it.
Mr. Fang had already sent a few people to fight the front battle. There were too many horses and carriages on this trip, so we had to ensure that they all moved together smoothly.
If the convoy is divided into several parts and cut off in the middle, it is extremely easy to cause an accident. Rescue will definitely be more difficult to solve. If you can take care of one end, you will not be able to take care of the other end. It is also extremely vulnerable to attacks by bandits or wild beasts.
I don’t know what’s going on with dad in front?
Chu Chu was still a little worried about her father, but her mother was not as worried as she looked at him.
However, last night she specifically looked at the black clouds above her father's head, and found that the black clouds had not dissipated much after the fire, and were still pitch black. When she woke up in the morning, the feeling was much stronger, and the ghost was really lingering. , the danger should be very close to them, and not just once.
There are white clouds on my mother's head. My father's worries about her and my mother are unnecessary. The most dangerous person in this group of bad guys is my father.
After getting in the car, Chu Chu felt her heart beating suddenly again, as if something was about to happen, and she didn't dare to take a nap as usual.
It seemed that there was a greater danger behind, but she was very angry. Why couldn't she see anything?
Before going to bed last night, she prayed silently, hoping that there would be a dream to remind her of the dangers in the future. Who would have thought that she would only be disturbed by sleepyheads until dawn.
There was plenty of charcoal fire in the car, and Sister Luo Mei specially brought her a small hand stove. Although it was warm in the car, Chu Chu felt that her heart was cold.
When I went out for a quick lunch break, I felt it was already very biting, the kind of bone-chilling cold that almost froze my buttocks.
Winter is very bleak in the mountains. There are almost no leaves on the trees, but the ground is covered with thick dead leaves, which make a rustling sound when stepped on, making people feel that the silence around them is dangerous.
At noon, Chu Chu was led by Uncle Zi Mo on horseback, and the convoy was driven around in a circle from beginning to end. Chu Chu had paid great attention and found nothing unusual.
In the afternoon, for some reason, Chu Chu's heart beat faster. She always felt that danger was right in front of her, but she still couldn't see anything. She was a little anxious.
"Uncle Zimo, can I keep sitting on the horse later? Let's follow dad forward."
Chu Chu felt that the danger was coming for her father, so she was right to follow him.
Zimo has already felt something different about Chu Chu. After walking around today, she didn't say anything. She was not like usual. Her curious little face showed excitement when she saw something. Now her anxiety is shown on her face, especially her eyes. They were all busy, looking here and there, not wanting to miss any place.
Knowing that she was also worried, as they expected, something would happen, but he didn't say anything, and it wouldn't be good to disturb the two adults in front of him right away.
"Yes, but the young lady has to be obedient. She can only hide in Uncle Zimo's cloak and don't show her face until the critical moment."
Zimo whispered to the young lady, fearing that he would not listen to her.
Before leaving, his master gave him a small white saddle at Wuliting. It was made very delicately and was padded with thick animal hair. It looked like it was specially made for the young lady, so it should be very comfortable to sit on.
It seemed that the master had foreseen it and knew that this kind of saddle would be useful. Naturally, the lady would have to sit on the horse when necessary.
However, this mountain road is indeed too cold, and the lady must be well protected.
If he hadn't been practicing martial arts all year round, Zimo felt like he would be trembling.
Many soldiers started running today while trekking. It was also because it was too cold and they would freeze if they didn't move.
Chief Fang also discussed with Master Yan that an extra steamed bun would be added to the lunch for the soldiers. Only when their stomachs are full will they not feel cold.
"Uncle Zimo, look, Chu Chu is wearing the thickest clothes, and this hat covers her ears. It's not cold at all. I will be obedient, hide in Uncle Zimo's cloak, and show my face occasionally. That’s fine, Chu Chu won’t let anyone see it.”
"Then I'll go to the front and talk to the adults."
Although Chu Chu was very insistent and Zimo knew that he had to do this, he still felt that he should go to Yan Guogong to get to the bottom of it.
"No, is Uncle Zimo worried that he can't protect Chu Chu? Chu Chu doesn't want his father and mother to worry."
Seeing that the young lady was very insistent, she knew that the danger was ahead, and she also knew that it was definitely wrong to distract Yan Guogong and Director Fang at this time. Especially before seeing the fact of the danger, listening to what they said was in vain.
After turning around and explaining a few words to Luo Mei, and letting Chu Chu get on his carriage first, Zimo continued to say something unknown to the two martial arts instructors guarding him. His voice was so low that no one could hear him.
As the carriage continued to move, there was a brief pause. When no one was paying attention, Zimo carried Chu Chu onto his horse, called two guards, and quickly followed to the front of the team.
Chu Chu was sitting on the saddle in front, with Zi Mo deliberately wrapping her cloak tightly around her. Even the two guards following her couldn't tell there was anything fishy about her.
However, Zimo did not go beyond the front of the team. He only followed closely four or five horses away from Duke Yan. He also greeted the two guards next to him, but he did not let Duke Yan see him.
Chu Chu didn't see anything when she poked her head out for the first time, so she shrank back like a little hamster, and then asked in a low voice: "Uncle Zimo, is it still far from the inn?"
Zimo estimated for a while and then told the lady: "I walked slowly today and only walked half of the way. No matter how hard I hurried, I would have to cross Jigong Mountain in the evening. After crossing Jigong Mountain, we can reach the inn. By the time we get there, It should be completely dark.”
Chu Chu: Isn’t it dangerous to be at the inn again? This thief has no creativity at all.
Chu Chu cursed in her heart: You won't let them sleep tonight, right? She didn't even take a nap because she was so worried.
If possible, she really wanted Huahua to give the thieves a good beating and then go into space to have a good sleep.
After walking for at least more than an hour, when Chu Chu poked her head out again, she saw that the peaks on both sides were very high and the woods were very dense, almost towering into the clouds.
"Uncle Zimo, is it getting dark soon? Why isn't it here yet?"
There must be such a thick fog when it gets dark, but it feels like it’s getting thicker and thicker.
"It gets dark quickly in the mountains, but it's still early. It will take at least an hour before it gets completely dark."
