Chapter 154: The Intention to Kill
Time passed very quickly, and seven days passed quietly in the blink of an eye.
During this period, with Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng accompanying her, Gu Chan was in a good mood along the way.
But the only thing that worries her is that the food in the convoy is getting less and less, and more and more people are starving along the way.
She originally wanted to lend a helping hand to these people, but they didn't have enough food to eat, so in the end they had to take care of themselves first.
On the eighth day, the team finally ran out of food.
In the evening, everyone rested on the roadside together, everyone was so hungry that they felt dizzy.
What Gu Chan was most worried about finally happened.
Ma Zheng went to the front and came back, and suddenly said to Gu Chan, "Boss, the people in front of them seem to have caught some mysterious beast, and they are making a fire to roast it! Why don't we go over and see if we can also eat in two bites? eat."
"What? They are so hungry, how can they catch the mysterious beast?" Gu Chan was surprised.
The next second, she seemed to suddenly understand something, and she quickly stood up and rushed forward.
When she ran over and took a look, sure enough, a group of ordinary people had already set up a fire and started a fire, while another group of ordinary people were hiding in the grass nearby, looking dirty and not knowing what they were doing.
Gu Chan ran over quickly, pushed through the crowd and got inside.
She got in and took a look, and the scene in front of her shocked her instantly.
I saw a woman who was fainting from hunger, being surrounded by a group of people. They were all ready to take off her clothes, and then they brought a thick wooden stick and tied her up.
Gu Chan pushed everyone away, protected the woman behind him, glared at everyone and shouted angrily, "Are you crazy about hunger? Are you planning to eat people just to stutter?"
"Shopkeeper Gu, we haven't had anything to eat in several days. She is already dying anyway, so please leave her alone."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Gu, we don't want to all starve to death on the way!"
"Get out of the way, we are so hungry that we can't stand it anymore."
The common people were shouting and shouting, and they all looked like crazy.
Obviously, long-term hunger has made them completely lose their minds. In this case, their only thought is to fill their stomachs.
Gu Chan gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, "Get out of here, get out of here. This is not what humans do. You all should hold on to me. I really can't peel off the tree bark and eat it."
“We’ve been chewing all the bark off the trees all the way here, so there’s no bark left to eat!”
"I don't care about that. It's not okay to do such an unscrupulous thing anyway." Gu Chan cursed loudly.
Common people, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to step forward anymore.
Because Gu Chan's previous beating of Wang Tianxiao in Wuheng County had already spread, and everyone knew that she was not weak.
In this case, even if they swarm forward, they will definitely not be Gu Chan's opponent and will have no choice but to give in.
Gu Chan shocked everyone, then carried the unconscious woman on her back, quickly ran to the road ahead, called Ma Zheng to bring her a kettle and fed her some water.
After the woman regained consciousness, she threw herself into Gu Chan's arms and burst into tears, "Shopkeeper Gu, thank you for your life-saving grace! My parents and grandfather both died of starvation and were dragged away by wild wolves. I was the only one left, and they all Bullying me, trying to eat me!”
"Don't worry, no one can hurt you as long as I'm here." Gu Chan said with a livid face. After saying that, she handed the woman to Ma Zheng to take care of her, stood up, looked forward and shouted, "I'm warning everyone in front of you. If you let me know again, if you want to eat people, I will kill you first and then let you know." The Rat Fairy will crush you to ashes."
No one in the front dared to answer, they all sat there in silence, lowering their heads in shame.
Gu Chan still wanted to curse.
At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly sounded from behind.
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly stood up and looked behind. When they saw it, everyone found that a long army was coming this way. Everyone was instantly panicked and screamed again and again.
"Run! The enemy is catching up."
"It's over, it's over. I was already so hungry that I couldn't walk, but the enemy troops are coming. It's dangerous!"
"Oh my god! We can't reach Central Plains City."
Listening to everyone's screams, Gu Chan felt something was wrong.
If the enemy is really chasing after them, they may have already rained arrows before they arrived, but now the troops at the rear are just rushing forward without releasing any arrows.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan immediately waved and shouted, "Don't worry, everyone, it may not be the enemy."
"That's right! It's not the enemy army, it's our own Tiger Army! I've even seen the big flag with the character tiger." Ma Zheng looked up and took a closer look, and cheered excitedly.
The hearts that everyone had hanging in their chests finally calmed down completely at this moment.
As the army got closer and closer, everyone finally confirmed that the chasing army was not the enemy, but the Tiger Army led by Xue Lihua!
Gu Chan quickly stepped forward and stopped Xue Lihua who was walking in the front, "Sister, why are you here?"
"General Long is dead, and we have no choice but to retreat to Zhongyuan City." Xue Lihua explained with a painful look on her face while riding on her war horse.
When everyone heard what she said, everyone felt uncomfortable and had tears in their eyes.
In the hearts of all the people on the border, Long Zhen exists like a magic needle that fixes the sea. As long as he lives, everyone will not feel so uncomfortable. But once he dies, it will prove that the border has completely fallen. If everyone wants to return to the border life in the future, that will probably be the case. It's simply impossible.
How can this not make everyone feel uncomfortable?
Gu Chan tightened her fists and asked, "Sister, how did General Long die?"
"Huang Yue is a spy sent by the enemy. He has been hiding in our tiger army. Just when we were fighting a fierce battle with the enemy, he secretly poisoned the general." Xue Lihua explained with suppressed anger.
"This scumbag, don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will have to kill him one day." Gu Chan shouted coldly and viciously.
When she was in the beast team's camp, she promised Big Black Snake that she would definitely kill the scumbag Huang Yue, but she never had the chance. Now she really regrets that she didn't find a chance to kill him directly. Otherwise Long Zhen would not have been poisoned by him.
Angrily, Gu Chan stomped her foot to the ground and asked again, "Sister, have you executed this piece of shit Huang Yue?"
"The enemy made a deal with us. We had to let him go if we retreated twenty miles, so..." Xue Lihua said with a livid face, unwilling to accept anything.
"Okay, okay, Huang Yue, you scumbag, just wait for me. I, Gu Chan, swear here today that one day I will skin you and cut you into pieces." Gu Chan raised his right hand and bit it. I swear to the sky.
After traveling through time for so long, she has never been as angry as she is now.
There is no doubt that at this time, she was already determined to kill Huang Yue!
