Chapter 163
Jiang Yan's intuition is not only useful in distinguishing good from evil, but also in finding thighs with an accuracy rate of 70% to 80%.
While the people in front of her were helping to treat her arrow wound, she was still considering whether to invite someone to go with her. After careful observation, she found that they only hesitated for three seconds after knowing each other, and she wanted to take advantage of their security and logistics.
Jiang Yan couldn't explain why she trusted them, but she couldn't leave Heyang County, and this place wasn't a place where she could stay for long. She heard that the only way to go to Rongcheng County was to take a detour along the mountain road, so no matter how brave she was, she wouldn't dare take the risk alone.
No matter whether these people in front of her were the guards of some wealthy family or a group of escorts she had never seen before, they were always safer and more reliable than bandits and wild beasts.
Jiang Yan silently calculated in her mind what kind of labor and intelligence she could provide to contribute after hitchhiking, but she forgot that intuition could not guarantee her success rate.
Her plan to curry favor with someone was aborted just as it was emerging. She could only watch helplessly as they accepted the arrows she provided and left without looking back.
Perhaps to avoid being a freeloader, one of them pointed the way to Jiang Yan. However, the more Jiang Yan listened, the more she felt that this route was very similar to the one she had discovered where the bandits were.
Isn't this just a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? Jiang Yan complained in her heart, and then reflected on how she sometimes relied too much on her intuition and blindly gambled on her luck.
After a moment, Jiang Yan decided to walk in the direction those people left. Although it was a little dangerous, what if it was a shortcut?
Among the disaster victims who shared the same suffering and cooperation yesterday, a small number are still caring for the injured with high fever, who may be relatives and friends, while the rest have scattered.
When Jiang Yan looked back for the last time, everyone's backs were silent and bloated, with arrows growing out of their heads.
Originally, because it was a murder weapon, many people avoided it and didn't think of picking it up, but Jiang Yan picked up a lot of it and reminded people that the arrowheads were made of iron, which immediately aroused everyone's interest.
No matter what use it may have in the future, grab it before daybreak when your vision is limited.
When daybreak came, the guards on the city wall suddenly opened their eyes wide and cried out in surprise: "Captain, did we shoot fewer arrows yesterday?"
Not only were there fewer, but except for the areas illuminated by the torches on the city walls at night, the rest of the area was vaguely visible, with only broken and unusable arrow shafts left.
If they could go downstairs to investigate, they would also know that the arrowheads of these broken arrows were also missing.
……
Jiang Yan showed unprecedented patience and followed the man all the way with faint traces of his footsteps. When he finally saw the figure in the distance, it was already noon.
She found a big tree with a good view and climbed up to watch. She saw several people pulling ropes and disappearing in front of her one after another. Only two people were left sitting on the ground. They should be staying on guard.
About an hour later, when Jiang Yansheng was chewing wheat grains to fill his rumbling stomach, people climbed up one after another, and brought back many heavy objects.
Are they going to resupply? Jiang Yan waited until they left and walked over to take a look. Sure enough, the cliff was right inside the county seat of Heyang County.
Jiang Yan prepared himself mentally for the cliff that was more than a hundred meters high, and tied a safety rope that seemed to be a vague memory before climbing down shakily.
This was the second most dangerous activity she had ever done in her life. Her hands and feet were sore the whole time and she was hanging on by her last breath.
Especially in the second half, Jiang Yan was completely unable to think about whether he would be discovered by people on or below the cliff. He did not dare to look up or down, but just concentrated on moving slowly.
When his feet touched the soft mud, Jiang Yan couldn't wait for consciousness to return. He quickly untied the ropes on his body and then rolled and crawled away from here.
In the small courtyard ten meters away from the landing point, someone watched the swaying rope in the last bit of twilight, and then walked into the house with an unclear expression.
