Chapter 176 There's no other way
At that point, let alone leaving, they'll probably be caught and brought back before they even leave the mountain gate.
"Brother Gu is only one person. Taking care of two people is already tiring enough. How can he take care of five or five people?"
The girl with the round face frowned as she looked at Zhang Caixia. She really hated this woman, she hated her very much.
Zhang Caixia heard what the round-faced girl said: "You know five people aren't enough, so why don't you stay behind by yourself!"
"Since you voluntarily stayed behind, he only brought four people with him, right?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl with the round face wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it. She knew that Zhang Caixia was right.
If she stays behind, then Brother Gu will take one less person down the mountain, which will reduce their danger.
Lin Cai frowned upon hearing this. She looked at Zhang Caixia, who was overjoyed because her words had rendered the round-faced girl speechless.
You're so noble and kind-hearted, then you can stay!
If you stay, wouldn't the problem be easier to solve?
Lin Cai looked at the smug Zhang Caixia and said, "Xiao Lingdang won't stay here. Even if she wanted to stay, I wouldn't let her."
"He came here to rescue me. You and Little Bell were just incidental. I can let him take whoever I want. It has nothing to do with you."
"How could you do this? Aren't you afraid I'll yell at you?"
"Then go ahead, you'd better go now. Go and tell them loudly that we're running away, and see how they treat you in the end."
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she pulled Xiao Yuanlian away. Gu Zhan didn't say anything and turned to follow her.
Seeing that the three of them had left, Zhang Caixia gritted her teeth and stamped her foot, calling out to the two girls inside, "What are you still sitting there for? Hurry up and come with us."
She knew this was a one-time thing, and there wouldn't be a next time. She had her own legs to stand on, and whether she went along with it or not was her own business.
She simply couldn't believe that if she really went with him, the man would abandon her if they encountered danger.
Lin Cai and her two companions walked in front, while Zhang Caixia and her two companions followed behind. Gu Zhan led them away from the mountain stronghold.
They were walking through the dense forest, but there was actually another path besides this one.
But there were too many unknown dangers on that road, and it wasn't suitable for a group of girls to travel on.
Before they had even reached the halfway point, Zhang Caixia gave up. She plopped down on a pile of fallen leaves and said, "I'm not going anymore! My feet hurt so much, I can't walk anymore."
"We won't take you with us. You said we wouldn't take you, but you can't leave even if we bring you along. What do you want?"
"I don't care, I'm not leaving unless... unless you find someone to carry me down."
Upon hearing this, the girls all knew what Zhang Caixia was up to. Little Round Face blushed when she heard this.
She rolled her eyes: "Zhang Caixia, how can you be so shameless?"
"You can't walk on your own, yet you want someone to carry you? Aren't you just trying to get Brother Gu to carry you?"
"Brother Gu is willing to take you down the mountain, that's already a blessing. You still want someone to carry you down? How can you be so shameless?"
Little Round Face has never argued with anyone, so she doesn't respond to the shrewish cursing of her aunts and uncles.
But Zhang Caixia was different. Every woman in her Zhang family was a shrew. Whether it was arguing or fighting, they were all formidable.
She heard what the little round-faced girl said, but didn't take it to heart at all. She sat on the ground and straightened her clothes.
"I asked Brother Gu to carry me, not you to carry me. Why are you meddling in my business? Besides, Brother Gu hasn't said anything, so why are you interfering?"
Gu Zhan, whose name was called out, glanced at Lin Cai and then said emotionlessly, "Can I throw her off here?"
Her words were flat and cold, sending chills down one's spine. Everyone present heard them, and Zhang Caixia, the person involved, glanced at the seat next to her.
This place is in the mountains, and it's all steep slopes with a certain gradient. If someone accidentally rolls down here, they will either die or be crippled.
If someone throws you off from here, will you survive the fall?
Zhang Caixia moved her legs in fear, looking at Gu Zhan with apprehension. They had walked for a while, and the girls had seen what this man was capable of along the way.
Putting aside the man's skills, the knife in his hand and his strength alone would be more than enough to throw someone down.
Thinking of this, Zhang Caixia quickly stood up: "Well, I've rested enough, we can continue on our way."
"Let's hurry up and get down the mountain so I can go home sooner. I miss my parents."
Lin Cai watched Zhang Caixia's retreating figure, her shoulders trembling slightly, and glanced at the man beside her with a smile.
Isn't he usually quite meticulous?
How come you've learned to scare people now, especially a girl?
Seeing the look in Lin Cai's eyes, Gu Zhan suddenly said, "You want me to carry her on my back."
"Huh? What?" Lin Cai didn't react for a moment, and a brief moment of confusion passed through her mind. After she came to her senses, she glanced at him sideways and said, "Whether you carry it or not is your business. What does it have to do with me?"
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the little round-faced girl and walked quickly forward.
Not long after they left, someone told Cui Dazhu that the girls had run away. Upon hearing this, Cui Dazhu nodded faintly to indicate that he understood.
Seeing that he wasn't worried at all, the men below repeated themselves: "Boss, I said those women ran away, they really did run away."
"I know, I know, didn't you just say it once? Why are you still saying it? I heard it all, there's no need to say it again."
Cui Dazhu was holding a needle in his hand, holding his toes, and carefully poking something on his toes with the needle.
After the subordinates finished reporting the matter, they were dismayed to see that their boss had simply stopped responding!
I've already told you everything, what should I do? You need to give me a stance!
If you keep doing this, you won't tell me anything, you'll just hold your feet and poke around there, how am I supposed to know what to do!
The underlings below are suffering!
Thankfully, they weren't really bandits. If they were, and had a leader like that, they probably wouldn't have survived more than five days before being wiped out.
As for the reason, it must be because their leader is unreliable and doesn't take care of things!
Cui Dazhu hugged his feet, holding a needle in his right hand, wanting to poke it but afraid of poking too deep.
If I just leave it like this without poking it, the little thing inside really hurts!
He had no other choice but to call someone for help, and he had to find someone with good eyesight to come and help.
