Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 1108 Rushed Out



Chapter 1108 Rushed Out

He opened the bundle, took out the herbs inside, and distributed them to everyone. "Chew them up and apply them to the wound. Tie it up with a piece of cloth. Pack up and leave."

Everyone took it in silence. Many of them were injured, and no one dared to ask for more. One blade of grass shared by five or six people was better than nothing. They had been injured in distant battlefields before, where would they get medicine? If the main camp was behind them and they were carried away, they could still be treated.

In a situation like this, if you can't make it, you can basically just wait for death.

While this was going on, she asked someone to light the tinder, spread out the map, and start looking for a way out.

Fortunately, these things were not lost.

She had been dizzy all the way here, and now it was dark, so she had no idea where she was. Fortunately, Dashu could read, so she could basically determine the general direction.

Zhou Guo walked to an open place and looked at the night sky.

The night sky tonight was unusually bright. Countless stars hung in the vast dark blue sky. She shed tears as she looked at the night sky. General Xiaoyan and the others would never see such a beautiful night sky again.

Soon, everyone packed up and Zhou Guo began to divide into teams, "Those who are still alive, come out."

There is only one thousand households left, six hundred households, and many of the remaining squad leaders and sergeants are gone.

She said: "Although we are not many in number, we still have to follow the rules. We need to select a thousand households and several hundred households from the team, and we must act in unison and follow orders."

He looked at the thousand households and said, "Five thousand households, you choose."

"Yes, sir." Wu Qianhu did not refuse. He was more familiar with this team and the people in it than she was.

"Wang Er, you are promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households, Li Si..."

When I read one, a person stood up and silently accepted this relatively good news.

Hundreds and thousands of households, they might be wiped out at any time. General Xiaoyan was so powerful, he fought dozens of battles, but didn't he still die in the end?

The action was quick, and within half an incense stick of time it was finalized, and the team's configuration was complete.

Zhou Guo said: "Call someone."

Not one more, not one less.

The group walked forward in the cover of night without lighting torches. Zhou Guo led the way in front, moving slowly, one step deep and one step shallow.

There were more than 2,000 people, and apart from the sound of footsteps, there seemed to be no sound even of breathing. It was surprisingly quiet.

By daybreak, they had already walked thirty or forty miles.

The road ahead was even narrower and harder to walk on, so Zhou Guo signaled the team to stop and said, "Rest here for 25 minutes."

Everyone immediately sat down or lay down, took out what they had dug along the way, and put it into their mouths to chew.

Many of them were dug by Zhou Guorang. Although they didn’t taste good, they were edible.

She did not rest, but sent out scouts to explore the way ahead, and then went into the mountains carrying a bow and arrow.

Dashu, Xiaoshu and her personal soldiers followed her and they would never leave her side.

She didn't chase them away. She walked and stopped here and there, picking up small stones on the ground and paying full attention to her surroundings. When she heard a noise somewhere, she would throw the stone out without even thinking.

With a flapping sound, a pheasant fell down.

Xiaoshu was surprised and said, "This chicken is fat!"

Go forward and pick up the chicken.

There are many wild animals in this forest, and various pheasants and rabbits can often be seen. She doesn't care whether the pheasant is big or small, as long as it is alive and has meat, she will kill it. She won't chase those that run away, because there won't be much meat anyway.

After shooting a few pheasants and rabbits, she suddenly heard some noise coming from the hill ahead. She left a message saying "Wait here" and ran away.

This movement must be from a big guy.

I ran forward and took a look, and wow, it was a group of wild boars.

Perhaps it was because the smell of blood on her body was too strong, the wild boars from a distance were frightened and started to become chaotic.

While running, Zhou Guo took off the bow on his back, drew out the arrow, strung the bow, and with a puff, a big wild boar fell out with a scream.

The pigs were frightened and ran away in all directions.

She ran towards the big guys, drawing her bow and shooting arrows as she ran, without mercy.

On the way, she came across a muntjac, but it was too small, so she didn't want it. She only had eyes for the wild boar, which was big, had a lot of meat, and was a bit oily, which was incomparable to other prey.

The wild boars were frightened and howled, rushing forward regardless of anything, scaring away all the birds and beasts in the forest.

At last, there were five arrows left in the quiver, and several big wild boars that ran towards this side were all killed by her arrows.

She walked back with a bow in one hand and a wild boar in the other, picking up the missed arrows and putting them back into the quiver along the way.

There were a large number of wild boars in this group. In just a short period of time, eight of them were hunted down, all of them were big wild boars.

There are so many of them, so I won’t drag them out. It would be a waste of energy.

Zhou Guo asked Dashu to call the team in, slaughter the animals directly on the spot, light a fire, cut them up and roast them before eating.

More than two thousand people looked at the big wild boars on the ground with their eyes wide open, their throats gurgling with saliva, and their stomachs growling. They haven't had a proper meal for a long time, and they have only eaten wild vegetables and grass roots every day. There are so many pigs, these are pigs!

I couldn't help but admire Zhou Guo. How long has it been since he entered the mountains? How could he hunt so many pigs by himself?

"Sir, why are these pigs so obedient? Don't they run away when you hunt them? They just wait for you to hunt them obediently."

"You must be so powerful! Didn't you see how brave he was yesterday? He was like a killing god on the battlefield. With one strike of his sword, he killed a head and a life. It was so clean and neat! These wild boars are no match for him!"

The thing is, everyone who survived had seen Zhou Guo's skills on the battlefield. He was so brave that no one could match him. He killed one if one came, and if two came, they would kill a pair. Later, his body was covered in blood, like a devil from hell.

Later in the fight, the enemy dared not get close.

Zhou Guo said: "Alright, hurry up and kill these things, we can't afford to delay."

She didn't want to recall what it was like on the battlefield at all.

Everyone knew what was going on and stopped talking and started skinning and slaughtering the pig.

It’s a pity that there is no container, otherwise the pig blood would be a good thing. It’s a pity that it is wasted.

Among them, there were a few ruthless ones who came forward and drank the raw blood in big gulps.

"We can't throw it away. Even if it's pig blood, it's much more delicious than those grass roots and tree barks!"

"I lost so much blood, shouldn't I drink more to make up for it? I don't even need to drink more water."

That makes sense. After hearing this, a few more people came forward. They were so hungry that they could eat raw meat. What was wrong with raw blood? As long as it could fill their stomachs, they would eat it.

The two captains also said to Zhou Guo: "Young Master, drink first!"

Zhou Guo shook his head, "I don't want to drink."

She wasn't that thirsty, and there was water available along the way, so she wasn't so thirsty that she had to drink pig's blood.

The rest of the people were either digging wild vegetables and grass roots or collecting firewood.

I don’t know when I can get out, so I’ll dig up more and put it in my pocket. I’ll chew them when I’m starving, and I’ll probably still be able to survive.
