On the way to escape from natural disasters: She went crazy with space

Chapter 197 Mechanism

Lu Qingqing didn't want to cause trouble, so she just wanted to see what was going on and then leave?

But unexpectedly, the other party seemed to know her. Lu Qingqing saw him looking at her ecstatically, and her voice trembled with excitement.

"Girl, it's you?"

Lu Qingqing's legs suddenly stopped moving. Do they know each other?

Lu Qingqing looked at the man's thin features. He looked old enough to be her father, but she couldn't remember meeting such a person.

Lu Qingqing tried hard to search her memory, but still couldn't remember who this person was?

The man saw Lu Qingqing's confused expression and knew that she didn't remember.

He said quickly, "Girl, have you forgotten? Last winter, at the market in Xiayuantian Town, you came to my store and bought a lot of things. I also gave you some dry goods and the like."

After he said this, Lu Qingqing remembered.

At that time, she and Liang Pei had not met yet. She and her cousin were shopping in Yuantian Town and stopped into a grocery store on the way.

They bought a lot of things at the grocery store. The owner, Zhong Lou, saw that they bought a lot of things and were nice people, so he gave them a lot of dry goods.

Lu Qingqing never dreamed that they would meet one day!

Lu Qingqing carefully identified the man's facial features and discovered that he was indeed the owner of the grocery store in Yuantian Town.

But, in just over half a year, how could he be destroyed like this?

He was stabbed several times and abandoned in the wilderness. This is really unbelievable.

Because he had donated materials to her before, Lu Qingqing couldn't be indifferent to him!

Lu Qingqing quickly called Lu Yuanzheng over. Lu Yuanzheng came forward and carefully identified the man for a long time before he realized that he was the owner of the grocery store.

He and Liang Pei carried the man to an open area, treated his wounds and bandaged them.

Fortunately, although the wounds looked serious, they were not deep and not fatal.

Liang Pei took out a new set of clothes for him to change into, and gave him some dry food to fill his stomach.

Seeing that he was slowly recovering, Lu Qingqing hurriedly asked him what had happened?

Why does it appear here?

What about the bloodstains dripping on the ground at the entrance of the path?

These three questions are also of concern to everyone!

Zhong Lou did not answer immediately, but instead thanked Lu Qingqing and others for saving his life.

"It's just a small favor, you don't have to take it to heart." Lu Qingqing said calmly.

However, Zhonglou was very persistent and said earnestly: "It may be a small matter for the girl, but for me, it is a life-saving grace."

There was no other choice but for both sides to thank each other again, and then Zhong Lou got to the point.

"Probably after you guys finished shopping and left, I also headed north with my family, hiding from the Xiongnu invaders. When I got home, I found out that the Xiongnu invaders didn't attack Mingzhou, but went straight to Yongquanzhou!"

"I took my two children and my wife and just happened to arrive at Yongquanzhou. But before we went in, we saw that the entire Yongquanzhou had been burned down. We had no choice but to hide in the mountains of Yongquanzhou. However, there was not much food in the mountains. We stayed in the mountains for a while and then headed north."

"We didn't have any other purpose, so we headed north and then we ended up in the direction of Yongquanzhou."

Lu Qingqing felt that he was being a bit long-winded, so she interrupted him and said, "You should get straight to the point. Tell me why you were injured? What's the matter with the bloodstains in the mountain?"

Zhong Lou suddenly became furious. Due to his excitement, the wounds on his body that had been bandaged started bleeding again: "Beasts! Those kids are worse than beasts!"

child?!!

Everyone caught the key words in his words, looked at him with sharp eyes, and waited for his next words.

The bell tower fell into memories and said quickly:

"Originally, our family of four was looking for food in the woods, and we met a girl, about eight or nine years old, with an innocent face. She broke her leg. She said her mother had a leg disease, and she didn't know why she was out playing, so she asked if we could take her home?"

"I hesitated at first, but she said that her family had lived in the mountains for generations and had stored a lot of food. She said that if we sent her back, her mother would repay us."

"We had been hungry for two days. When I heard that there was food to be given, I couldn't think straight, so I took my children and my wife and sent her back. But I didn't expect that as soon as we arrived at her door, a dozen children her age suddenly rushed in, holding big knives and hacking at me desperately.

"Although I am very strong, I couldn't handle so many people at once. I tried my best to escape, but my wife and two children were captured by them."

As Zhong Lou spoke, he wiped his tears and said, "I really deserve to die. How could I be so stupid to fall for them and harm my wife and children? I really deserve to die!"

Lu Qingqing looked at him, without stopping his actions, and suddenly asked:

"You should also know why they arrested your wife and children, right?"

Zhong Lou said with a dull look in his eyes: "I know, treat them like two-legged sheep!"

These three words made everyone gasp in shock!

After all, those kids are only eight or nine years old!

Was this way of foraging taught by adults, or were they born evil?

Lu Qingqing didn't dare to think about it carefully: "Are they just a group of children? Are there any adults around?"

"I didn't see any adults coming out. There must be no adults."

I guess that means we are not sure if there are any adults in the room?

Lu Qingqing asked again: "Is their lair inside the mountain?"

Zhong Lou wiped the tears from his face and nodded:

"Yes, there are traps everywhere in the mountain, all for catching people and animals in the mountain."

As soon as Zhong Lou said this, the faces of several people changed rapidly. Lu Yuanzheng stepped forward and asked anxiously:

"What kind of mechanisms are they? Where are they installed?"

The bell tower pointed deep into the woods and said, "There are some at every intersection, and even more deep in the mountains."

At this point, Zhonglou suddenly looked at them and asked in confusion: "Why are you here? Don't you want to take the official road and plan to climb the mountain to Chongzhou City?"

"Yes." Lu Qingqing answered Zhonglou concisely, then looked at Zhonglou sharply and said, "Do you know where the mechanisms they installed are located?"

Zhong Lou nodded: "We all know the exact location of the traps on the road we are on. As for other intersections, I only know that they exist, but I don't know their exact locations."

They only take this path, and it is enough for them to know where the mechanism of this path is.

Lu Qingqing looked at him and said, "Take a rest. You can take us to see the mechanisms later."
