Chapter 269 (2/2)
”If you don't wait here for a few days, maybe the road will arrive soon!” David looked at edita without confidence.
Aidita touched her slightly swollen belly. The child in her belly will be born in two or three months. If she doesn't rush to the human gathering area before the child is born, or if she can find a place to stabilize, she may really die in a foreign country.
Aidita also missed: ”let's stay here and find some food first. If we don't see the road coming three days later, we'll continue to go south...”.
They knew that Lu Ziming would also return to state Z. Qi city was just the food supply station selected by the three at the beginning. The goal was to reach state Z hacheng 1000 kilometers away from Qi City, then go all the way south to Jincheng, cross the Yellow River to Luoyang, and finally return to Lu Ziming's hometown.
In the plan, Lu Ziming will send them to Luoyang and hand them over to the local army and government. As for whether they can return to their hometown in the end, the three dare not think about it.
The two men led the war horse, and no one was interested in talking. The surroundings were full of pungent blood smell. They accidentally kicked a body that had not yet completely decomposed. They walked silently in the open street. David went into the broken house from time to time to look for possible food. He was lucky. After crossing the small Qi City, he found a lot of food, enough for them to leave Qi City and reach Ha City of Z country.
Qi City has become a hell on earth. Judging from the dry blood on the ground, the massacre should have happened one or two days ago. I don't know whether the killers will return to Qi city again. They don't dare to stay in Qi city at all.
David found an old tent in the ruins, found a secluded resting place in a valley about five miles away from Qi City, and settled down temporarily.
Every morning, David rode his horse around Qi City and came to the North Road of Qi city to wait for Lu Ziming. In this way, two days later, Lu Ziming still didn't appear on the road to Qi city.
David began to despair. He didn't know what had happened to Lu Ziming, whether he had lost his way, or... David didn't dare to think about whether they could reach Ha City in state Z without Lu Ziming's protection.
In the twilight, a long figure walked powerlessly on the lonely grassland. The boundless darkness was like an ancient fierce beast swallowing the earth. The wind gently squeezed the grass on the ground. The grass stubbornly wanted to raise its head, and the weak leaves kept swinging in the wind, as if they were going to break at the next moment.
A war horse's neighing came from the valley, followed by a black smoke rising into the sky. There was adita's hiding place. In the distance, women's screams and wanton silver laughter came. David's heart tightened and beat the war horse madly. Adita's painful struggling figure flashed in front of him. The worst result happened. Weak David didn't know the courage from there, Running towards the valley.
PS: the entanglement of the story will open in this part, and many previously hidden plots will also pave the way in this volume.
