After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

There were seven or eight men hiding on both sides of the road, between two big trees on the side of the road, and at this time they pulled up a strong rope.

Just now they spotted the carriage on the official road from a distance on the mountain, so they quickly took a shortcut down the mountain and ambushed here.

Their group had run out of food, so no matter what, they had to find a way to keep the people and horses here today.

The horses can be left behind to eat the meat, which can also replenish their strength. Saving some will be enough for them to survive for a long time without starving. As for the people, we will talk about it when the time comes.

In these people's minds, the person who could drive a carriage on the road at this time should be a grown man, and the people sitting in the carriage were most likely women and children, plus some food and water that could be used.

These things are what they are in short supply now. Since they are lucky enough to have come across them, there is absolutely no way they will let this big fat sheep go.

"Da da da……"

The sound of horse hooves came from far away and came towards this side quickly. The people in ambush couldn't help but hold their breath and look at the official road through the gaps between the branches.

"Brother... the driver is a little girl..."

One man was so excited that he couldn't even speak straight.

"Shut up! I'm not blind!"

The man in front of him turned around angrily and cursed him after hearing his shout, then tightly grasped the rope in his hand.

Good job, little girl. That way it will be easier for them to deal with her. It seems their good luck has really come today.

Others had similar thoughts as they did. Looking at the shiny chestnut horse and the youthful girl sitting on the carriage, they couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in their hearts.

"Ding... Host, host, I'm here to give you a mission..."

Yuxiu was just waiting for the small system to appear. She smiled, pulled the reins, and stopped the carriage about ten steps away from the rope.

"The refugees are blocking the road and committing evil. Please clear the obstacles. The reward for the mission is the black land you have been dreaming of..."

There was a smile in the small system's voice. The reward for this mission was almost given to the host for free, but it was also a part-time job and had to go through the process.

Yuxiu didn't care about all this. Even if the small system didn't issue the task, she would still deal with these people. Now when she heard that the reward for the task was black soil, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"Why didn't that girl leave?"

"Did they discover something?"

"Probably not. Hehe, I guess she's going into the woods..."

Several men hid in the woods and whispered to each other. After waiting for a long time, no one drove a carriage over. Instead, someone took out some food from the carriage and was eating it slowly. Then they could not bear it any longer.

"Brother...that girl is eating..."

"Shut up! I'm not blind!"

"Brothers, come together and tie up that girl..."

The man called Big Brother stood up, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Yuxiu first with a large machete with several cuts in it in his hand.

The others were not willing to be left behind, and they all rushed towards the carriage with all kinds of tools in their hands.

Yuxiu stood up, holding the hoe tightly. She saw that there was a strange red light in the eyes of those people, and some of them were going towards the chestnut horse. She was afraid that they would hurt the horse, so she simply jumped off the frame and went to meet them with the hoe raised without waiting for them to come close.

As she got closer, she couldn't help but frown. These people had a very unpleasant stench. Although she had smelled it several times on her way here, this was the first time she felt the smell was so strong that it almost made her vomit.

Don’t worry about all that, just knock the guy down first.

Without saying anything nonsense, he swung the hoe and hit those people on the heads. Those people immediately let out a series of screams. Some of them were smart and realized that the situation was not right, so they didn't rush forward. They quickly turned around and took a few steps into the woods.

When Yuxiu knocked down several people in front of her to the ground, she discovered that one of them had escaped.

After thinking about the reason why there is no reason not to uproot the grass, she drew her bow and arrow, quickly aimed at the fleeing figure in the woods, and shot without hesitation.

"what!"

A scream was heard, and the man was pierced through the chest by a feather arrow and fell to the ground with his face up.

Since they were not far away, Yuxiu instructed Cui and went forward to pick up the arrow and check to see if the person was dead.

After entering the forest, she realized that the stench was even stronger. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and walked quickly to the man. Seeing that he was dead with his eyes wide open, she did not hesitate, pulled out her feather arrow, wiped it casually on his clothes a few times, and turned to leave.

The moment she turned around, her eyes seemed to see something. When she looked carefully, she was shocked.

To be honest, she had seen many dead bodies along the way, and she had also killed many of them herself. However, this was the first time she felt fear.

It turned out that there were several dead people hanging on the tree over there. They must have been dead for some time. There were both men and women, but their bodies were no longer complete. A lot of flesh had been cut off, and some were missing arms and legs, revealing white bone fractures.

"vomit……"

Yuxiu bent over and vomited several times, then quickly turned around and walked out of the woods, driving the carriage away quickly.

Now she finally figured out why those people had such a strong stench. It turned out that they had been living on eating those corpses these days. No wonder there was a red light in their eyes.

This incident was too tragic and hard to accept, so Yuxiu did not mention it to Cui. Anyway, Cui would not ask any more questions if she did not say anything, and if she did, it would make her feel uncomfortable.

After driving the carriage for more than an hour, it finally came out of the forest. There were fields everywhere around it, and a river meandered not far away.

There were a lot of people gathered on both sides of the river. When Yuxiu drove the carriage past, she looked out and found that there was still a small amount of water at the bottom of the river. Although it was very turbid, it was still drinkable.

At this time, the intersection leading to the river had been blocked by a group of people. It sounded like anyone who wanted to get water there had to pay ten copper coins.

A group of people were arguing noisily there. Yuxiu had no need to go over there as she had no shortage of water to drink. While everyone's attention was on the water, she hurriedly urged the chestnut horse to leave quickly.

"Girl, we can't go down the road ahead. There are robbers blocking the road and robbing us. We managed to escape with great difficulty. You should also turn back and find another way..."

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, a dozen ragged refugees came running on the road ahead. They were supporting each other as they ran, and it seemed that they were running together.
