Chapter 30 Night Watch

Seeing that it was getting dark, Tang Junsheng took the initiative to ask Wei Dazhi in front of him: "Brother Wei, how can we spend tonight?"

After leaving the Suzhou border, their identities could not help but ponder, and they could not even set foot on the villages passing by, let alone the crowded towns.

Wei Dazhi was also worried. He looked around and said hesitantly: "Let's see if you can find a cave or a valley for one night!"

"Cave?" Tang Junsheng looked confused. The surroundings were desolate and were all bald and low hills. Not to mention the cave, he didn't even see a mouse cave.

Wei Dazhi didn't see a suitable place for living, so he didn't have the nerve to speak again.

Li said weakly, "We don't have much water left, we have to find a place with water."

In other words, this site must not only be suitable for overnight stays, but also have water.

Is there such a place nearby?

None of the adults dared to think about it.

Tang Ning was anxious and simply jumped out of the donkey cart with Tang Zhong. The two of them ran away faster than the donkey, so they could find a suitable place to stay in front of everyone.

Erlangzi took a look and jumped out of the donkey cart.

Xiaozao wanted to go together, but was suppressed by Li, "Don't follow the mess."

Xiaozao was dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but saw Tang Ning taking Tang Zhong and her brother quickly rushing forward. In just a moment, they pulled a lot away from them. You know, they were on a donkey cart!

"When did Aning become so powerful?" Xiaozao's eyes were confused, but unfortunately no one answered her.

The unaware Tang Ning was rushing forward with the two of them.

Erlangzi ran around and looked around, shouting loudly: "Aren't you looking for a place to stay? Why are you running so fast?"

After finally catching up with Tang Ning, Erlang quickly blocked the person and gasped, "Can you stop running!"

Tang Ning shook his head and pointed to the official road not far from them. "Just just now, a group of people rushed over and headed towards Suzhou. Those people wearing armor would reflect. I guess they should be the imperial envoy from the court."

"What?" Erlangzi turned pale and stood still.

Tang Ning pursed her lips and looked serious. In fact, before seeing the team, the system reminded her to turn on survival mode, and told her that the price of the goods purchased in survival mode would double, that is, opportunities and danger coexist.

Just after the system broadcast, the team broke into her sight before Tang Ning asked. In fact, the group of people were not wearing armor, but just the clothes of ordinary yamen runners. The reason she recognized her was because Li Mu led the crowd to pass by their doorstep.

As she saw it with her own eyes and the system reminder, she simply said the matter a little more seriously, so that Jiang and Li would not always think about their hometown in Suzhou, and they would not leave reluctantly, and they would have fantasies about going back.

The donkey cart behind us caught up and saw that the three of them stood still and asked the reason.

Tang Ning told everyone his guess.

Wei Dazhi was so anxious that he almost fell off the donkey cart, "It's broken! The imperial envoy has arrived in Suzhou, which means that Ganzhou has officially issued a government order. In order to prevent the people from escaping, the other side may have set up a net of heaven and earth. If we bump into the officers and soldiers, it's over!"

"Don't scare me, head of the family!" Li was so nervous that he was almost trembling. He looked around nervously, hugged his daughter tightly and moved closer to Wei Dazhi.

Wei Dazhi didn't care about appeaseing Li at this moment and asked the two brothers Tang Junsheng: "What should we do? Where are we going now?"

Tang Junsheng and Tang Laoer were also unsure of their minds.

Seeing that they were speechless, Tang Ning said, "Dad, second uncle, Uncle Wei, I think it's useless to say so much. Let's continue to go east. If we can find a suitable place to settle down, we will stop."

The group of people who were already in vain continued to rush along as Tang Ning wanted.

There was even a whisper in the team, only the wheels of the car were creaking and the occasional donkeys were humming.

From day to night, they couldn't find a suitable place, let alone a donkey who had been walking for a day and a night. The group could only find a place to block the wind and light in the dark.

The fields were not safe, so everyone cleared out an open space and spread the mat in the middle, forming a circle around it. Five or six bonfires were lit. Several men did not dare to sleep. They all sat on the bonfire like a hawk and forced themselves to hold on, with self-defense weapons such as sickles, axes, kitchen knives, etc.

The woman went to rest first, but after lying down, there were knives beside her. In case of danger, they could immediately swing their weapons.

Even if Jiang and his wife lay down, they couldn't sleep well. After all, it was the first time they stayed on the loess and faced the sky overnight. Only Tang Ning slept down and died of sleep.

She can't sleep, and the system said that it is now in a survival mode, which means that danger will come at any time. How can she deal with it if she doesn't have a good mental state?

Jiang was so uncomfortable that he wanted to talk to Tang Ning, but he turned over and found that the girl was sleeping dyingly. On the other side, Li was holding Xiaozao, and the two were whispering, looking like a mother and a filial daughter. Jiang was speechless and sighed in his heart. He didn't know if it was infected by Tang Ning, but he fell asleep in a deep state.

In the second half of the night, Tang Ning suddenly opened his eyes and sat up with a carp. He saw Tang Lao Er sitting three steps away in front of him, Erlangzi sitting behind him, and Tang Zheng sitting behind him, Tang Junsheng and Wei Dazhi lying not far from her. It seemed that they were taking shifts.

Tang Ning thought that Tang Lao Er seemed to have not slept in the middle of the night, and immediately walked over and patted him on the back, and gestured at him, "Uncle II, go to bed, I'll guard."

Tang Lao Er shook his head silently.

Tang Ning whispered: "You still have to drive the car. I have already had a sleep, full of energy, and my eyesight is better than you at night, so I can see clearly."

Tang Lao Er choked, and he couldn't refute these words, so he glared at Tang Ning and struggled.

Tang Ning shook his head proudly. Tang Zheng and Erlangzi, who heard the noise, looked over. Tang Ning made a face at them and handed over the work with Tang Laoer openly.

Tang Zheng and Erlangzi were a little worried, but they did not speak out. Speaking at this time would definitely wake up the others, so they could only acknowledge this matter.

However, Tang Ning did not relieve them of worry, but after a few quarters of a day, he went to look for Tang Zheng and whispered: "Brother, I want to go to Xiaojie, you and Erlangzi should watch carefully."

Tang Zheng grabbed her and said seriously: "Don't go far."

Tang Ning pointed to the direction he was guarding, "Don't worry, I'll go behind the big lump of soil. You can see it. To be safe, I want to bring a weapon by my side."

As he said that, Tang Ning pointed to the long pole with a sickle and a hatchet not far away. Those who didn't know thought she was going to fight with.
