It was already dark. Zhang Qiang rested while Xu Dong sat at the edge, looking around with his tired eyes, listening to the noise outside.
Zhao Zheng was not sleepy. He stood up and walked over. “Uncle, sleep. I’ll keep watch.”
Zhang Qiang looked at Zhao Zheng and said, “You’re still a child. Go to sleep. It is my responsibility to protect you.”
Zhao Zheng did not say anything else and sat beside Zhang Qiang. He looked around and listened attentively.
Under the night sky, the tree shadows seemed to have become demons. When the cold wind blew, the tree shadows brandished their claws.
Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang and couldn’t help but think to himself that she was really calm and collected!
However, this was only the beginning. He would wait and see how long she could remain calm.
Lin Jie asked, “Aren’t you sad?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “I’m sad.”
Lin Jie sneered. “You don’t look sad at all. Are you thinking that as long as the reinforcements come, your brother will be saved? But do you know who will come to help? If you know, you will definitely be angry.”
Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang and smiled evilly.
“I know many things about you. Since you can live again, why can’t my parents?”
Lin Jie became serious. He died and lived again, so he was not surprised to know that Liu Sanniang was the same. He just wanted to know how she did it. He hoped that his family would also live their lives all over again.
Liu Sanniang looked at Lin Jie and said slowly, “Because I’m the chosen one.”
Lin Jie frowned. “You can be the chosen one. Why my father, mother, and the others can’t?”
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong did not hesitate. They immediately tied Liu Dalang to their backs and were about to go down the mountain.
Zhao Zheng and the others also followed out. Zhang Qiang said to Zhao Zheng and the others, “Hide well and don’t come out for the time being. We will definitely wipe out all the Jin soldiers. At that time, you can return to the village without worry.”
Zhao Zheng turned around and went back with Zhao Sisi and the other children.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang was relieved and left with Xu Dong.
What they did not know was that after Zhao Zheng returned, he asked Zhao Sisi and the other two to stay put before following Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong secretly. After the rain, the forest was filled with mud. Xu Dong carried Liu Dalang and almost slipped several times.
Zhao Zheng broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, they were fine in the end. Along the way, they did not encounter any Jin soldiers.
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong ran almost non-stop. As expected, at the foot of the mountain, they encountered the reinforcements searching.
“Quick, quick, General Liu is injured.”
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong were overjoyed. The soldiers who were searching immediately came over and helped back.
Zhao Zheng did not follow them anymore. He was relieved that they reached the foot of the mountain successfully.
Without hesitation, he turned around and headed up the mountain.
Liu Dalang was quickly placed on a cart. Almost all the people on it were injured. Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong heaved a sigh of relief. They instructed, “General Liu was injured by an arrow. His wound is difficult to heal and he’s having a high fever. Fie needs to be sent back to the camp immediately to be treated by the military doctor.”
Liu Cheng walked over quickly. He took a look and narrowed his eyes at the anxious Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong. “Don’t be anxious. We’ve already made arrangements. When we find the remaining soldiers, we’ll return immediately.” How could he let Liu Dalang go back alive?
He did not need to do anything to kill Liu Daliang. As long as he stalled for time, Liu Dalang would die for sure.
However, he was not guilty. There were so many injured soldiers. Why should Liu Dalang have the priority to be treated?
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong did not think too much about it, but seeing that Liu Dalang was trembling non-stop, Xu Dong looked at Liu Cheng and said, “Can we send these injured people back first?”
Liu Cheng said slowly, “That won’t do. The first few carts have all gone back. There’s only one left. If we send this cart back, what if there are more injured soldiers? Let’s get some cold water to wash him first..”
