Bai Zhi said to Zhao Sue: “You go back to the town now and find a carriage that can take you to the military camp . I guess Hu Feng didn’t know this . You should go to Hu Feng and Awu Dage now and tell about this incident . ”
Zhao Sue busily asked: “What about you? Where are you going?”
Bai Zhi pointed to the distant forest: “I will chase after them . Maybe I’ll have a chance to rescue them . ”
Zhao Sue shook her head: “No, I’m worried about you going alone . I will go with you and die together . ”
Bai Zhi bitterly smiled: “Sister-in-law, I’m not going to die, you don’t have to worry about me . I have a way to protect myself . You listen to me, go to Hu Feng and Awu Dage . Remember, if you can’t find Hu Feng, you look for Zhou Gang, Fu Zheng, Zhu Si, or even Shen Dafu in the military camp . As long as you find any one of them, they can help you talk . ”
“But–” Zhao Sue was still uneasy . No matter how smart she was, she was just a 13-year-old girl . She went chasing an army of 5,000 people by herself . Isn’t that looking for death?
Bai Zhi waved her hand: “You go now and tell Hu Feng that Xiye Country intends to exchange people of our Chu Country for the captives . They are going back to the Luoying Mountains . As long as they block the way along the Luoying Mountains to Xiye Country . They will find us . ”
Zhao Sue, who failed to convince people, just hurried away .
Bai Zhi returned to the house, took some useful medicines, then brought some water and dry foods . She put on the worn clothes that Zhou Xiaofeng wore the first time he came to Huangtou Village and painted her face with some dye . At a glance, she doesn’t look any different from the little beggar on the road .
After taking her medicine bag, she wrapped her sharp scalpel with cloth strips and put it around her waist .
When everything has prepared, she drove the carriage to the direction of the Luoying Mountains .
At the foot of the mountain, there were indeed many footprints . There were even some bloodstains that could be found on the grass blades of the road . The bloodstains were dry, it seemed that they had passed by here for a long while .
When she entered the mountains, the mud in the mountains was soft, and the footprints on the ground became more and more obvious . She followed the footprints . She didn’t know how long she chased . Although it was a cold winter day, her clothes were all soaked in sweat . Fortunately, the paint on her face will not fade even with water . Otherwise, her face will be revealed .
Maybe a large number of people passed by all at once, so while on the way, she didn’t even see a single wild animal . This gave her a lot of helping hand . It’s better not to be found by a wild animal before she could find people .
Bai Zhi suddenly stopped and listened carefully . There was a faint abusive voice in front, accompanied by the crying of women and children .
Her heart was filled with joy, and it seemed they were just up ahead .
Bai Zhi walked slowly, every step she took was very careful . She didn’t make any sound, nor let her figure be exposed .
She hid behind the bushes and saw a large group of people with hands tied behind them, walking behind the soldiers holding long swords . There were too many people and they were all facing away from her . She couldn’t find the people she was looking for in the crowd .
What to do? What should she do to save them?
Bai Zhi didn’t dare to act rashly, she just followed far behind while looking for a good opportunity .
In the evening, the soldiers in front suddenly stopped and loosened some men to let them go cut trees and firewood to set up tents, while the women helped to cook .
Bai Zhi secretly rejoiced, she knew an opportunity was coming . She found a place to hide the medicine bag on her back and then hid the dry food and water sacs in her clothes . Fortunately, the clothes she wore doesn’t fit her . Even if she put things inside, it won’t be discovered .
