Chapter 257: escape
While in doubt, Su Ying saw a warrior go behind a big rock, and he didn't know what mechanism was pulled, and heard a rumbling sound, and a stone bridge rose from the ice.
The solid stone bridge broke through the ice on the stream and gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"Patriarch, you can go." A warrior shouted towards them.
Zhang Nuo looked at Shiqiao in amazement. He had walked through this place many times, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden mechanism here.
"Master Su, please."
Su Ying nodded, and drove the horse up to the stone bridge. The stone bridge that has been submerged in the water has been covered with moss, it looks mottled, but it is very firm.
After she crossed the bridge, she saw that they were directing the cattle and sheep to walk over in a line.
After crossing the creek, the next road is not so difficult.
"City Lord Su, rest for one night when passing the Tarot tribe before continuing on the road?" Zhang Nuo raised his head and looked at the direction in the distance, and came to Su Ying and said.
Su Ying knew that he wanted to go home and have a look, "Well, but this time when you go back, you don't have to follow me."
Zhang Nuo was a little surprised, "Don't you want to look elsewhere?"
"I definitely want to go, but if I go out for too long, I always have to stay at home for a while, otherwise the child will be unhappy."
Zhang Nuo was even more surprised, "Master Su, have you had a child?"
Su Ying smiled, as if lighting up the winter snow, "Yes, I have a child."
"Nasu City Lord should return home as soon as possible to reunite with his children. Children, relatives must miss you very much."
"You know that your relatives will miss you very much, but you still run outside all day?"
Zhang Nuo gave a hearty smile, "I'm not afraid of the city lord Su's jokes. If I can't get out of this place, I would like to visit other countries and draw a map of each country. wish."
"Hope your wish comes true."
"Thank you, Santo."
A group of people are not in a hurry, after all, the road is not easy to walk in snowy weather, and safety comes first.
But the distance was not too far, and they were riding horses. After walking for less than three days, they saw the tribe hidden in the snow.
Su Ying, who was walking in the front, saw the bright red traces on the ground with sharp eyes. She quickly stepped forward with the horse's belly, and then got off the horse and squatted down to check the traces on the ground.
When she smelled the fishy sweet smell, she frowned, it was the breath of human blood.
Su Ying stood up and took out the binoculars from her body to check the surrounding situation, and found a person falling down not far in front.
She took a step and walked over.
In the snow, a man wearing clothes made of animal skins fell into a pool of blood. Su Ying reached out and turned the body over. When she saw the man's appearance clearly, her complexion gradually sank.
"It's Pumo, it's Pumo!" Zhang Nuo followed, and his face changed drastically after seeing the opponent's appearance. This is his childhood playmate, who saved his life in the last killing of the Nanguo people. You know, it didn't take long before the people disappeared.
Su Ying pulled back the skirt of his body, examined his wound carefully, and determined that it was injured by a sharp weapon.
She got on her horse and ran to a high point ahead, took out the binoculars to look around, and found that the colorful flags raised by the tribes were gone when they left.
Zhang Nuo said that these colorful flags have an early warning function. If the tribe is in danger, they will take down the colored flags as a warning!
Now, the colorful flags are gone, proving that something happened to the tribe.
"Something may have happened to the tribe. The patriarch will wait here for a while. Zhang Nuo and I will go and have a look."
The Central Committee thought about what Zhang Nuo said before, if someone from the southern country came to attack the tribe, he must not be alone. Since they followed, there is no reason not to help.
The central government left five people to guard the cattle and sheep, and then led the rest to follow Su Ying to the direction of the tribe.
The closer you get to the tribe, the more bloodstains on the ground, and the corpses are drawn into view one by one.
Zhang Nuo looked at the familiar clansmen lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were about to burst, he held back tears, gritted his teeth and ran in from behind the clan, shouting, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
The blood in the tribe covered the ground, and the snow-white blood dyed the snow red.
The group was eerily quiet, and even the cold wind that blew in gave off a **** breath.
Zhang Nuo ran all the way back to his home. There was still no one in the house, but no body was found.
Su Ying found that although there were a lot of blood and corpses in the tribe, they were not as many as imagined. If the entire tribe was slaughtered, it is impossible to only have these corpses.
"Don't be alone, let's go to other tribes together to see."
Zhang Nuo endured the grief in his heart, and followed everyone to other tribes. Looking at several tribes in a row, the situation was similar to that of the Tarot tribe. There were bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and there were corpses. Not much.
"They must have escaped. Let's follow the footprints on the ground to see where they went."
"good."
With so many people leaving together, it is impossible for there to be no traces on the ground. Soon, Su Ying and the others discovered that there were a large number of footprints behind each tribe. Judging from the direction where the footprints left, they were heading in the direction Su Ying came from. up.
"Is there a common refuge between your tribe and the tribe?"
Zhang Nuo shook his head, "No, the terrain here is so flat, there are no deep mountain caves. If you want to go to the deep mountain, you have to go in the direction of Tiankui City."
Su Ying looked at the direction of the footprints, and it was indeed going to the city of Tiankui.
"Go, follow the footprints and have a look."
"good."
The central government greeted its own people and told them to follow the cattle and sheep quickly.
A group of people walked forward quickly following the footprints. The more they walked, the more Su Ying felt that it was the direction to the city of Tiankui.
They hurried all the way, and finally found the traces they left behind.
Zhang Nuo came to an extinguished fire to test the temperature, and there was still a residual temperature, which proved that they should have left not long ago.
Zhang Nuo immediately got on his horse and chased after him. Sure enough, he saw people from many tribes.
He quickly rode forward and shouted: "Father, Mother..."
The advancing team suddenly heard Zhang Nuo's shout, and fell silent, but when they saw that it was Zhang Nuo, the clansmen who knew him responded by shouting.
"Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo."
Zhang Nuo heard the shout and looked up, and saw his people.
He galloped up to the clansman and saw that the circles under his eyes were red, "Puda, tell me quickly, did something happen in the clan? What about my father and mother?"
"Don't worry, I seem to have seen them escape before, and they should be in front."
"Tell me, what's going on here?"
