Not long after, Gu Zhang and the village chief came back.
The entrance fee to the city is still a unified standard, 300 yuan per person.
It was familiar once and twice, and no one raised any questions about the city fee at this time. Gu Zhang estimated that Gu Rong had spent all the money he had, and was thinking of giving some secretly, when he saw the eldest sister coming over and stuffing it into Gu Rong's hand. After grabbing something, he left.
Gu Zhang felt relieved and called everyone into the city.
After stopping briefly in Xincheng, everyone continued walking forward.
After walking like this for a few days, before setting off this morning, Uncle Ma said solemnly: "Today we are going to cross the Qinglong Gorge. There is a group of bandits occupying the Qinglong Gorge. There are about a hundred or so people. Everyone needs to go faster. , try to pass through the Qinglong Gorge boundary before dusk. "
"Secondly, everyone should cheer up. These bandits are not the refugees we encountered before. The bandits have been robbing homes all year round, and they have some skills in fists and kicks. No one can take care of anyone else. If you don't fight hard, you might have to give up."
Hearing these words made everyone feel uneasy.
But we still have to go.
Hurrying slowly, we encountered refugees blocking the way. At dusk, we had just entered the boundary of Qinglong Mountain.
Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone was worried. Gu Zhang asked Uncle Ma, "How many miles can we go back and cross here during the day tomorrow?"
Uncle Ma shook his head, "It doesn't matter if we do it today or tomorrow. " "Sooner or later."
"You have to grab it in the daytime, but everyone feels safer during the day." "This section is less than ten miles, so walk faster, it only takes
half an hour."
He yelled, "Follow me, everyone, walk faster!"
Not long after entering the mountain road, perhaps because of the cover of the surrounding trees, the sky seemed to get dark all of a sudden.
A wind lantern was hung on the mule cart, and no one dared to speak. For a while, there was only the sound of mules' hooves and the rustling of dead leaves in the mountain wind.
The doll door had already been put into the car. Qian stuffed Bao'er over, and no one said anything. Gu Zhang only said, "Sit inside quietly and don't move or scream."
Bao'er didn't say anything, but he screamed that day. Not only was he scolded by everyone, but he was also beaten by Gu Zhonghao, which made him feel fearful in his heart.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Uncle Ma saw a handful of thorns lying on the road in front of him. His heart trembled. He stopped the mule cart and asked in a loud voice: "Is this a hero from Qinglong Gorge in front of you?
" Someone walks out.
The person who came was a bearded man, holding a big knife in his hand and looking sideways at Uncle Ma.
Uncle Ma got out of the car and said, "Thank you for your hard work, boss."
The bearded man said lazily, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper. Whose food are you eating? Whose clothes are you wearing?"
Uncle Ma took out his bag. An escort flag was stuck on the mule cart, "Zhenwei Escort Bureau, old horse, I hope the boss
will give me some noodles." Every year, Zhenwei Escort Bureau gives some benefits to bandits on the roads they often walk. In Qinglong Gorge, this is also the case every year. Dotted.
The bearded man hesitated for a moment, "It's not that I don't want to give you face, but it's just a bad year. Everyone needs to eat. If I give you face, everyone will starve to death."
Uncle Ma said in a deep voice: "Master Patriarch left food. , The boss can eat it all, brother, I only eat the first line, please show your respect
to the boss." Gu Sanlang whispered at this time: "What are you talking about, Uncle Ma? Why are you talking so much about this bandit? There is nothing to be afraid of when you are alone. If you don't believe me, you can't defeat him!"
