Chapter 166 Negotiation

I didn't expect that the village chief Bai seemed quite confident. Read

"They don't have that many people. I counted them. Including the women they brought in, they are less than 300. When the time comes, the men of several villages will add up, plus we will cooperate inside and outside, and we will still have a chance of winning."

Su Qingmei was not optimistic.

"Village chief Bai, you only calculated the best case scenario. Have you thought about the worst case scenario? I don't know if I can climb out of the mountain smoothly and find people from other villages. Even if I find them, can you guarantee that other villages will not be occupied like us? Even if they are not occupied, what if others are unwilling to help?"

After hearing this, the village chief Bai was silent. These are all facts.

"I know, I know everything. But I can't wait any longer. People die in the village every day, and girls are dragged out every day. They can't survive. If we wait a few more days, they will find out the hunting route by themselves, and we won't be needed anymore. The remaining men in the village will also be killed by them. I can't sleep every day. My heart is burning like it's on fire."

Bao Zhaizhu's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Su Qingmei could understand his torment.

Her heart was also burning. She didn't know what was waiting for her.

"Don't you have any other way? Don't you often hunt in the mountains? Then do you have some medicine that we can kill them quietly, that kind of..."

Bao Zhaizhu shook his head: "It's useless. They are watching us, and our every move is in their eyes. We don't have the kind of medicine that can knock people out. If we have that kind of thing, we can go out hunting and scatter it on the ground. We don't have to do anything, just wait to pick it up."

Uh... Isn't it said that the mountain people living in the deep mountains and old forests have some life-saving, mysterious things?

How could there be no medicine? Where did the thieves get the medicine to knock her out?

This is too bad.

Su Qingmei was a little annoyed: "Master Bai, you know that I am not familiar with this mountain. I heard from Xiu'er that this mountain is full of dangers and there are many ferocious beasts. Look, I am still with a child. I can't get out without someone to lead the way."

Master Bai obviously knew her situation. He glanced at Xiaobao in her arms and fell silent.

Xiu'er said anxiously: "If possible, we also want to solve it ourselves, but we are under their supervision. You were caught by them, your target is smaller than ours, and if you escape, they will not pursue the rest of the people..."

"Xiu'er!" Master Bai stopped Xiu'er.

Turning his head to Su Qingmei, he said: "She is young and ignorant, don't blame her."

Su Qingmei touched Xiaobao lying in her arms twice, and saw that he listened to the adults obediently, without making noise or making trouble, and felt comforted.

He shook his head at the Bai Village Master: "It's okay. I understand her feelings. I feel the same as you. I also want to escape. I also want to take my children to find our relatives. However, we have to plan carefully and hit the target in one go, otherwise we will alert the enemy and there will be no way back."

The Bai Village Master nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we need to plan carefully."

Su Qingmei saw that he listened to her, so she said: "First of all, I can't climb this mountain by myself. I need someone to lead the way. I can't find the direction in the mountain, and I can't find where the village you mentioned is."

"Lead the way? I am very familiar with the mountain, but they are watching me closely. Tonight, I was called over by the leader of the thieves for questioning, and I shook off the people who followed me and ran here."

Su Qingmei was silent. Without someone to lead the way, she would never get out by herself.

She wanted to escape, but she would not take risks. She also had Xiaobao. The mountains were unfathomable and full of dangers. She couldn't get lost in the mountains with Xiaobao.

The three of them were silent.

Su Qing'an's mind was also spinning. What could he do? A foolproof method? How could he avoid the other party's gaze and escape?

Village Chief Bai suggested a few more methods, but Su Qing'an thought they were all unreliable and rejected them. Village Chief Bai looked frustrated.

Thinking that the village would be destroyed in his hands, he felt desperate.

"By the way, Xiu'er said that Guo'er's brother was stabbed and is still lying in bed. Is he better now?"

The village chief Bai didn't know why Su Qing'er mentioned Guo'er's brother, but he also replied: "He can get out of bed and walk a few steps."

"Does he know the way out of the mountain? Is he familiar with the mountain?"

"You mean?"

Su Qing'er nodded: "I need someone to lead me, otherwise I can't get out of this mountain by myself."

"But..."

Su Qing'er interrupted him: "That's what I think. Isn't he lying in bed now? Let him recover from his injuries. Even if he recovers, let him pretend that he is not well. Wait until he deceives those people's surveillance, and then find an opportunity, such as pretending to seek revenge on them, and then pretend to die with them..."

Su Qing'er just thought, let him die. In this way, even if he escapes, the thieves will not pursue the people in the village because of his absence.

In this way, she will find another opportunity to get away, and then let him lead her to escape.

"Grandpa, this is a good idea! Brother Baishu is very familiar with the mountain roads, and he has also been to the nearby villages. Let's let him take the letter!"

Baizhaizhu hesitated and looked at Su Qingmei: "You mean, let someone from our village take the letter out? But Baishu... he is a dull person..."

Baizhaizhu was worried. Although Baishu was familiar with the mountains, he would definitely be able to get out. But...

Su Qing'an didn't want to let the other person escape alone: ​​"I mean, I will find a chance to escape when the time comes, and then escape with him, so that the two of us can take care of each other, even the person who spreads the news and sends the message."

The Bai village chief originally wanted Xiu'er to get close to Su Qing'an and let her, an outsider, escape and send the message. Success is good, even if it fails, it will not affect the rest of the people in the village. And the people in their village are being watched, and if one escapes, the rest will be punished.

He can't afford to lose. He doesn't want to see anyone die in the village again.

And Su Qing'an, of course, doesn't want to be trapped here.

If there is a chance to go out, of course she will go out, she doesn't want to sit and wait for death. She will collapse after suffering day by day.

To be selfish, even if she can't find someone to help the village, she climbs out of the mountain, and she and Xiaobao will get out. And the village won't suffer any loss.

And the Bai village chief has the same idea as her. So, she will cooperate with him.

Bai Zhaizhu agreed to the method proposed by Su Qingmei. He said he would go to Guoer's brother to talk. For the sake of the village, he would definitely agree.

Then, the three of them discussed some details, and then sneaked back in the dark.

I don't know if it was because of the death of two women this morning, or what, no man came to the big bunk tonight to drag people. Everyone was nervous, but finally spent a peaceful night.
