Traveling through ancient times

We have already wasted a lot of time in this miasma forest. If we don’t get out quickly, I’m afraid everyone’s health will be in trouble! As for the matter of the old Gu family, everyone knows it well. Such a disgusting family, everyone has no patience to accommodate them anymore, so the old Ma family decided to set off immediately!

The group trudged through the foggy and humid forest again. Hidden dangers were everywhere. Although the indigenous people in the forest no longer had the python, they still had huge blood-sucking leeches. If one accidentally stepped into a mud pit, several of them would be pulled out. They had a nearly cylindrical body, nearly 20 cm long, with black and yellow vertical stripes, and the suction cups on both sides were larger than those usually seen in rice fields. As long as they hung on the body, they would quickly wriggle, looking for exposed skin and waiting for an opportunity to suck blood!

Fortunately, before setting off, Ma Nanfeng and his team had explored the route and seen this kind of leech before, so they worked together. Gu Dalian remembered reading about how to remove leeches on Niangdu, and suggested dissolving concentrated salt water and applying it to all the exposed skin. Although it was irritating, it was still a solution!

If you get sucked by a leech while staggering along the way, you should slap the skin next to you hard to shake the leech off. The pungent smell will fill your nose, so spicy that it will make you cry!

The situation at the old Gu family was even worse. Gu Da, a strong laborer, suddenly had no strength at all. Gu San and Gu Si carried the backpacks and supported the eldest brother on one side. The weight of the eldest brother was all on these two people. They were all complaining in their hearts! They could only grit their teeth and bear it!

Gu Da's backpack was shared by several people, and the pressure was much greater! Qin led her three daughters to walk in front of the team, with a sad face and a miserable heart. Her steps forward were even heavier. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She supported Xiaomei, who was beaten and bruised, with one hand, and was worried about the future of her mother and daughters!

Qin had already guessed the general idea from her mother-in-law's curse words! It should be the father and son who wanted to poison Gu Wenzhi and his sister, but they didn't expect that they didn't eat the poisoned meat, but were snatched by their own daughter and fed to their man! Qin hated it in her heart. She hated the old woman for sending the poisoned meat to Liu Li, and also hated Liu Li for sending the poisoned meat to Gu Wenzhi. What she hated most was why the three brothers and sisters didn't eat the poisoned meat. If they had eaten the poisoned meat, how could Xiaomei give the poisoned meat to Gu Da!

She hated Gu Da. He ate whatever the child gave him. He was usually so filial. Why didn't he give the food to his mother today? Now he put himself in such a situation! The more she thought about it, the more she hated him. Qin's eyes burst with a strong murderous hatred. She walked forward with this hatred!

Liu Li was carrying more weight today, his dark face turned dark red, he bent forward, the turmoil in his heart made it very difficult for him to walk!

Liu Daqiang had been paying attention. He found that his father had been worried after his uncle got into trouble. He also guessed the cause of the incident and felt sorry for his father!

He deliberately distributed the things that were stuffed full in his father's backpack to himself. He felt that his father's condition was getting worse and worse, so he quickly used one hand to lift Liu Li's arm!

Liu Li turned his head and saw his son's caring and encouraging eyes. He felt the strength conveyed by his son, and his heart was shocked. He instantly regained his clarity! Yes, he still has a family, a wife and children. He has to live for his family in the future! As for the old Gu family, since they are not human, why should he care about them? At worst, he will stay away from them in the future!

Liu Daqiang felt relieved when he saw some light in his father's eyes!

Old Man Gu had a gloomy face as he followed Liu Li and his son with Old Lady Zhou. He clearly noticed the indifference of the old Ma family towards the Gu family. Even his son-in-law's family rarely spoke!

I was annoyed. This old woman was more trouble than help. She made such a big fuss, afraid that others would not know that there was another hidden reason for Gu Da's poisoning! It was too late to say anything now. I could only take it one step at a time. Those little Huizi must have been prepared, so it would be even more difficult to attack them!

The eldest son is definitely unreliable in this state. Even if he is raised in the future, it will take a long time! The third son is a foodie, impatient, and not presentable. He is unreliable. Now there is only the fourth son, a student. I hope he can get out of Yingdang Mountain safely. The court will open an imperial examination, so that the fourth son can pass the examination and become a scholar, and then he can enter the official career!

The people in the old Gu family have different thoughts!

Gu Wenzhi and his sister walked briskly. After punishing Gu Da, everyone was in a good mood and chatted in low voices as they walked. Luo Feimo followed closely behind them, feeling inexplicably happy. He thought that it must be because chatting with these three siblings was interesting, so they were in a good mood!

The Ma family members behind them were very envious. These four people were so young but they were so skilled in martial arts. They walked as if they were walking on flat ground! The Ma family members were all good at martial arts, but they had a hard time walking in this miasma forest. They stared at the four people in front of them with admiration in their eyes. They must ask them for a move when they have time. If they can learn a little bit, it would be a good deal!

The atmosphere in the front and back of the group was so different that Ma Youren and his son, who were walking in front of Liu Li, thought: It's really like ice and fire! The Ma family in front was enthusiastic, while the Gu family in the back was cold as ice!

The team walked from sunrise to noon, and then from noon to dusk. There was a commotion ahead, and the team came to a standstill! Word came from the front that someone had accidentally stepped into the swamp, dragging several people around him and trapping them. Now everyone was trying to find a way to rescue them!

The old Gu family was so tired that no one wanted to say a word. Old Mrs. Zhou was unhappy all the way, but she just kept moving forward. The atmosphere was depressing and the stench was overwhelming. She had stopped thinking about cursing, but now she saw that they had stopped again, so she quickly said, "A bunch of damn people, they will only delay the journey. If they fall in, they fall in. What's the point of saving them? It's a waste of time!"

Old Man Gu had never hated his first wife so much. When she was young, although the old woman was not beautiful, she had delicate and fair skin and a slim figure. She was considered a pretty woman. There was nothing wrong with her words and deeds, and they got along well. Who would have known that now that she was old, she had become so vulgar? I wonder if that woman would be very proud if she knew her current situation!

The people in front were still trying to find ways to rescue people, and several people were sinking very quickly. Seeing that they were struggling in panic, Gu Dalian shouted, "Don't move, stop struggling, and lean forward as much as possible, otherwise the more you move, the deeper you will sink!" Then he ordered everyone to pass the tree sticks in their hands to the few people as much as possible, so that they can grab them and drag them back!

The one who was struggling the most had only his shoulders exposed. Gu Dalian summoned a long whip from the space and handed it to Gu Wenzhi. Gu Wenzhi swung it out and wrapped it around the man's wrist. He swung it back with force, and the man was pulled out of the mud step by step. Then the whip was pulled back and he was the first one to be pulled out of the mud!

The rest of the people were also dragged out with everyone's concerted efforts. Everyone was scared and realized how important the stick was! Years later, every time they thought of this experience, they would sigh that if Gu Dalian hadn't given timely instructions, Ma Ping'an, the first person to be dragged out by Gu Wenzhi, would have died long ago!
