Chapter 146: Going Together
, he had to take action himself.Little beauty, hehe.Zong Taiwu rubbed his hands together, instantly feeling energized."Come on! Let's go keep the little beauty company."Treasure Pavilion is the larges..."Listen, it's broad daylight here. This forest is way too quiet. There isn't even a bird chirping."
"Iron Pillar said dubiously."
Fang Jinshi stopped her conversation with Zong Bai, her expression becoming serious once again.
"I was just about to say that, it's too quiet here, I don't feel safe at all."
She looked around and asked Zongbai, "Is this really the way out of the village"
"Why is the path you're taking me on different from the one your older brother took me on last time"
Zong Bai scratched his head, "I think, I didn't take the wrong way."
"I've been here several times before, always brought by my elder brother. If you keep walking west from here, you'll reach the road leading down the mountain to town."
Fang Jinshi trusted her intuition, this place wasn't safe to stay long.
"Then let's go, don't just stand here."
Tiezhu and Zong Hu protected Fang Jinshi and Song Changhe in the middle, with Zong Bai leading the way.
Everyone along the way kept shouting Zongyu's name, carefully checking everywhere for fear he had fainted in some secluded patch of grass.
As Zong Bai was walking, he suddenly saw movement in the grass not far away.
He cautiously stopped, alerting the others, "Something's moving in that thicket!"
"Could it be Zong Erge!" Tie Zhu exclaimed excitedly.
Fan Jinshi frowned, the unease in her heart growing.
"I'll take a look." Zong Hu boldly pushed aside the grass and crept forward.
Before he could see what was in the grass, a black shadow suddenly slammed into him, sending him to the ground. He felt his arm bone break, and excruciating pain flooded through him.
A coppery sweetness surged up his throat, and he swallowed the blood.
"It's a wild boar! You guys run!" He shouted with all his might to the people behind him.
Fang Jinxiu heard Zong Hu's shout, "It's a wild boar, it's a wild boar!"
"Zongbai, Tiezhu, you guys quickly take Changhe up the tree!"
After the last incident with the snake, Fang Jinshu was no longer as panicked when facing these beasts. Moreover, she had spring water in hand.
If a wild boar really came, she would sprinkle some spring water elsewhere. Spring water is more tempting to animals than humans.
She also got verification of this on the python.
Sister-in-law, what about you
I'm going to save my older brother, I can't leave him there.
Zong Bai pulled her back with one hand, "Big Brother Zong Hu, I'll go save him. Sister-in-law, you take Chang He up a tree to hide for a while."
How could he possibly put his sister-in-law in danger!
Fang Jinshi pulled Zong Bai back, "No, you can't go."
If something really happened to Zong Yu, Zong Bai would be the only one his grandmother could rely on. She couldn't let Zong Bai put himself in danger.
"I can lure the wild boars away, you guys climb up the trees and hide."
Zone Bai was frantic. The wild boar, after hitting someone, had vanished into thin air. All he could see were the bushes rustling here and there, never knowing where it would pop up next.
It seemed like the wild boar could charge at them from any angle at any moment.
"What can you do to scare the wild boar away If my older brother finds out that I, a man, let my sister-in-law do such a dangerous thing, what face will I have to show him"
Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but smile and laugh, this child is only fifteen years old, and he keeps saying that he is a man.
Tie Zhu pulled Song Changhe and had already begun to climb the tree. Seeing the two arguing, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop arguing, let's go together to save Brother Zong Hu."
He glanced back at Song Changhe, "Stay here and behave yourself. Don't move around."
"If you fall, we won't have time to come and save you, understand"
Song Changhe nodded hurriedly, "Brother Tiezhu, I won't hold you back!"
He knew he wasn't much use, the only thing he could do was protect himself and not let the others get distracted because of him.
Iron Pillar jumped down from the tree, “Zong Bai is right, with the two of us men here, how could we possibly let our sister-in-law, a woman, go save Big Brother Zong Hu.”
"Let's go somewhere a little less dangerous."ood his intentions.With eunuchs present, they naturally couldn't openly discuss these matters. After exchanging polite remarks, they walked away in a line. The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict...
