Chapter 162 Returning to Forget-Sorrow Valley
Chapter 162 Returning to Forget-Sorrow Valley
"Mom, mom, why did you come back just now? Wuu ...
Li Lanzhen was lost in thought when she was awakened by a loud shout.
When they turned around, they saw a group of people holding sticks, surrounding them.
And the one who was shouting, "Mom, mom!", if it wasn't Han Mingjiang, then who else could it be?
Han Mingjiang opened his arms and walked towards Li Lanzhen. Seeing that he wanted to hug her, Li Lanzhen knocked one of his arms down and glared at him.
"Why are you howling like a ghost? Be a real man and hold back your tears. There are so many children here, aren't you ashamed?"
Han Mingjiang lowered his outstretched arms awkwardly, wiped away his tears, and looked at Li Lanzhen with resentment.
Li Lanzhen looked at him again and saw that Han Mingjiang's head was wrapped in black cloth. His forehead was darker in color, probably because of bleeding.
Xue Lao Hu put away the big knife in his hand, stepped forward and said with a smile.
"My dear relatives, you are back. It's good that you are back! It's good that you are back!"
Li Lanzhen took a look and saw that his left arm was wrapped in thick cloth and hung around his neck with a rope.
She guessed that his arm was injured.
Looking around, I saw that almost all the guards in Forget-Sorrow Valley were here, and everyone was injured.
She quickly asked Han Mingjiang.
"Second brother, is there any trouble in Forget-Sorrow Valley? Are your grandparents okay? How are the children? Is your sister-in-law okay? Did bad guys enter Forget-Sorrow Valley? Has Forget-Sorrow Valley been damaged?"
The series of questions left Han Mingjiang speechless for a while.
Xue Lao Hu glanced at Han Mingjiang and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, my dear relatives, the elderly and children at home are all safe, and everyone else in Wangyou Valley is fine too. The officers and soldiers did not find Wangyou Valley.
However, when our guard team was patrolling the mountains, they had a skirmish with soldiers from Youzhou City.
Almost everyone was injured, but it wasn't a big deal, just minor injuries.
Han Mingjiang immediately continued.
"Mom, we are all fine. But my father-in-law was chopped on the left arm by a captain in order to save me. His skin and flesh were torn apart and there was a lot of blood."
"Han Mingjiang, you talk too much!"
Xue Lao Hu stopped him from saying anything more and said to Li Lanzhen.
"We took the two teams of soldiers from Youzhou City who were searching the mountains deep into the mountains to the west. They did not find Wangyou Valley."
"Dad, does it still hurt? Are there any broken bones?"
When Xue Bao heard that Xue Lao Hu's arm was injured, he rushed over, gently touched Xue Lao Hu's arm and asked.
Xue Lao Hu looked up at Xue Bao and said with gentle eyes.
"Dad is fine. My son, are you all right? What took you so many days to come back?"
Xue Bao glanced at Li Lanzhen and shook his head.
"It's okay, Aunt Lan Zhen and I are doing fine!"
Xue Lao Hu looked at the group of children surrounding Li Lanzhen.
No questions, just a reminder.
"In-laws, let's go in quickly and sit down and talk slowly!"
Li Lanzhen took the children into the Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley.
Children's eyes are not enough.
As soon as you enter the Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley, you can see the waterfall and the pool below the waterfall.
A road leads all the way to the back of the valley.
On both sides of the road are pieces of land.
The land is planted with sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables.
It is growing well now and is all green.
The children were walking along the edge of the field.
His face was full of smiles, completely devoid of the panic he had just felt when being surrounded by the Forget-Your-Valley guards.
I also heard about the tense battle between the guards and the officers and soldiers from Youzhou City.
Also, they felt uneasy when they saw the guards looking at them with puzzled, non-smiling expressions.
Han Mingjiang has always been by Li Lanzhen's side.
Talking non-stop.
“Mother, did you not see the children and adults in Forget-Sorrow Valley?
They are all hiding in their own caves.
When we were patrolling the mountain, we found more than 20 people coming down the mountain, and their destination was Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley.
So, my father asked us to send a signal to Wangyou Valley.
Everyone is on alert. ..."
It turned out that just as Li Lanzhen and Xue Bao took Shi Tou and a few others ran into the mountains.
The officers and soldiers of Youzhou City began to search the mountain.
When Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang were about to go down the mountain to pick up Li Lanzhen and Xue Bao, they encountered a team searching the mountain.
Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang, along with a dozen officers and soldiers, began wandering around in the mountains.
Leading them away from Forget-Your-Trouble Valley.
The two men were worried that there would be danger in Wangyou Valley, so they shook off the soldiers and returned to Wangyou Valley.
After discussing with the village committee and the guard team, they began to deploy security work in Wangyou Valley.
A team checked the outskirts of Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley, but all things that could reveal the presence of people in the Valley were rearranged, dismantled, or covered up.
A team of people checked in Forget-Your-Trouble Valley, and filled and blocked all the cliffs and caves that could lead into the Valley, even a crack in the mountain.
The old village chief called everyone together and warned them.
Take good care of your own children and elderly.
Recently, don’t go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables or pick wild fruits.
We will inform everyone when the alarm can be lifted. If any family disobeys the arrangement and attracts the enemy, the enemy will destroy Wangyou Valley.
He is the sinner of Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley!
During the day, everyone does farm work quietly.
The children also realized the seriousness of the matter.
They all started whispering.
Arranged the safety in Forget-Sorrow Valley.
Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang went out to look for Li Lanzhen and Xue Bao.
They avoided the mountain search teams of the government soldiers and went to the gate of Youzhou City every day.
As a result, they were not seen for several days.
I started to get anxious. Every night when I returned to Wangyou Valley, my family members and the village chief would come to ask me if I had found them.
The night before yesterday, Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang came back, but there was still no news of Li Lanzhen and Xue Bao.
Xue Lao Hu brought bad news.
That is, in Youzhou city, the emperor's brother-in-law, also known as the emperor's uncle, had his limbs chopped off by an assassin. He died after two days.
Therefore, Youzhou City was leaderless and in chaos.
The garrison in Youzhou City, under the pretext of searching for assassins, arrested men in Youzhou City on a large scale.
The number of teams searching the mountain increased several times.
It became even more difficult for Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang to go down the mountain to look for Li Lanzhen and Xue Bao.
Yesterday morning, before daybreak, they and a team of eleven guards left Forget-Your-Trouble Valley for their routine patrol.
Just when they were halfway down the mountain.
More than twenty soldiers rushed out of the woods and surrounded them.
Shouting to catch the assassin!
The two sides began to fight.
