Escape to Farmland

Chapter 67 The Mountain Blocks the Road
In the days that followed, more than twenty people, young and old, walked and stopped.

Although there are occasional small ups and downs, it is generally smooth.

The Xia Quan brothers and sisters formed a tacit understanding. Every time they stopped to rest, they would leave the crowd alone to drink some water and eat a piece of candy or fruit.

In this way, the two children who had no adults to take care of them persisted.

Even, the siblings' belongings no longer needed help from others, so they dragged them away by themselves.

As the siblings say, they don't want to trouble anyone.

Including the Qiu family and Mo Qiaomei.

Even occasionally help adults do trivial things.

until the fifth day.

A group of people met a group of people who were also migrating on the road.

They are all a group of fleeing refugees, and the image of the other party is similar to theirs.

Their composition is not much different from theirs here.

It looks like there are more than a dozen people.

In order not to cause misunderstanding, they met each other face to face, and after sending good wishes to each other through their eyes, they separated according to the plan.

In this case, no one wants to provoke anyone.

Just when they were about to enter the southwest border, the group stopped temporarily.

The person walking in front of them also stood in a certain position, looking solemnly into the distance.

Seeing this, Xia Quan and the others also stopped and looked at the high mountains and dense forests in front of them from a distance.

"Why don't they leave?"

For those who couldn't see the form clearly, they asked the people around them in a low voice.

Xia Quan looked back and found that it was a girl from the Niu family, an innocent girl named Niu Maoyu who asked the question.

The boy next to Niu Maoyu explained in a low voice: "The mountain in front looks very dangerous."

The boy's name is Niu Banggeng, and he is Niu Maoyu's cousin.

Niu Genlong is the girl's father and Niu Banggeng's second uncle.

Well, this is the information that Xia Quan only learned by accident in the past few days.

"Gollum."

When the brothers and sisters of the Niu family were discussing in low voices, someone swallowed their saliva, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

Xia Quan also looked from the Niu brothers and sisters to the person who made the noise.

"Don't even look at me."

Qiu Maolin, the second child of Qiu, waved his hands awkwardly and said, "I was just thinking that there should be a lot of food in such a large forest across the way."

"If you can find food from inside, the food on hand can last for a few more days."

As he spoke, he looked at his father Qiu Laogen inquiringly: "Father, why don't we settle down here?"

"Then get some more food before we go on our way, what do you think?"

Listening to Qiu Maolin's words, the rest of the people also looked at the old man expectantly.

"Oh~~~Hoo~~~Oh~~~"

However, before the old man could answer, there was the faint roar of a large animal coming from the direction of the mountain.

"Did you hear that?"

Hearing the sound, Qiu Laogen taught his son a lesson, "What do you think came from that roar?"

"Don't want to die just for food."

"Looking at such a big mountain, can you think of food that other people can't think of?"

Qiu Maolin's face was pale, and he stammered: "Father, I...I know."

He didn't expect that just as he was about to go into the woods to find something to eat, there was such a scary voice coming from inside.

Niu Genlong looked at the pale faces of his two juniors.

Swallowing hard, he asked Qiu Laogen, "Uncle Qiu, that, that...should...could it be...a pack of wolves?"

Qiu Laogen nodded his head with a serious look: "It sounds like it sounds."

"This is how to do?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Xiaolang's voice began to tremble, "I... I heard that wolves live in packs."

"I don't know how many...how many wolves there are on that mountain."
