At that moment, Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo wanted to make use of the fact that the sky was still dark to rush over to the grain storage cave.
They had just walked out of the cave, and after walking a few steps, the Black and White came running back. They bit each of their sleeves and dragged them inside.
Seeing this, Li Qingling's and Liu Zhimo's heart skipped a beat. They looked at each other and allowed the Black and White to return to the cave.
Once they were back in the cave, Li Qingling hugged Tiger, patting his head, "Tiger, are there wild beasts or are they enemies? "The first way is just a snort, while the second way is just a snort." If not for the fact that they knew that they were in danger, the Black and White would not have pulled them back so easily.
When Tiger heard this, he just humphed twice.
Hearing Tiger's answer, Li Qingling's heart sank twice. She continued to ask if it was the Southern Swallow King's army.
Tiger grunted again.
"Thank you for following Little White." Li Qingling rubbed Tiger's head again, then thanked it. "Stay here with Little White, don't go out.
Raising his head to look at Li Qingling, Tiger snorted, indicating that he would not go out.
After saying it, Li Qingling straightened her body and looked at Liu Zhimo. The two of them turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave.
This door was made of wood that they had obtained from who knows where. Based on the situation that they were in, it could be said that it was a great help to them.
"Give me some time. I want to see what's going on outside." Li Qingling said with a gloomy face. She felt that this time, they did not come with good intentions.
She wasn't stupid enough to think that the King of Southern Swallow's men would come in the night to hunt. Most likely, they were after them.
So how did they find them here?
Liu Zhimo nodded, and warned her to be careful, then went to get the old man.
The old man was woken up by Liu Zhimo, and asked him sleepily, "What happened?"
In the few days that Liu Zhihao was here, he wasn't able to sleep soundly. It had been such a difficult time for him to get a good night's sleep, but then someone woke him up again.
"Grandpa, get up, the enemy is here."
Upon hearing that the enemy had arrived, the old man became clear-headed. He crawled up abruptly and asked Liu Zhimo calmly, what exactly happened?
"The Black and White ran back and told us, they said that the Southern Swallow King's army is coming. It doesn't matter if they are coming for us or not, we have to make preparations."
The old man nodded, and asked Liu Zhimo to wake the children up, then he went to get some medicine.
He had picked some herbs yesterday. He could make some of them into poison.
This was also to be used as a precaution.
Liu Zhimo went to wake up the children, and whispered to them that the enemies were here, telling them to stay still and not make a sound.
After going through so many sudden situations, the children had all gotten used to it. Hearing Liu Zhimo's instructions, they all obediently nodded their heads.
Seeing that they had listened to her words, Liu Zhimo was finally able to walk back to his side and ask his how he was doing.
Li Qingling stared intently at the outside and replied softly. She had not appeared yet.
Just as she finished speaking, light footsteps came from outside and Li Qingling heard it with her sharp ears.
"He's coming."
As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the bow and arrow, her body tensed, ready to fight.
Perhaps it was because she had been drinking spiritual water all this time, but even though her eyes were not affected by the darkness, she could still see that there were about twenty soldiers outside.
Her heart relaxed. It was less than she had expected.
She was afraid that a lot of people would come. If it really was like this, then they were really done for.
She would still be able to deal with these twenty or so people if she risked her life.
"Gou Dan, are those people really here? Don't you dare trick us! "
"It's really here. I accidentally saw it when I was hunting yesterday." The soldier called Gou Dan answered, "Boss, I feel like there's a cave that can accommodate people there, I think that's where they headed to." He pointed in the direction of the cave.
Sure enough, they were here for them.
Their location had really been exposed.
When Li Qingling heard the soldiers talking outside, she had confirmed her guess. She pursed her lips into a smile and slowly raised her bow and arrows, ready to shoot anyone who dared to come over.
Killing a person would also have the effect of shaking the body.
"Then how many people did you see?"
"I really only saw a few kids, but I don't know if there's anyone else in the cave." Gou Dan scratched his face that had been bitten by a mosquito, "Even if there is an adult, he is still an ordinary person, so there is nothing to be afraid of." With that, he slapped his face again, killing the mosquito.
"Then you should go over and take a look. There are so many mosquitoes in this damn place. We should get rid of them and go back earlier." The leader was cursing and patting the mosquito on his head, urging Gou Dan to take a look at the situation.
Gou Dan could not stand the mosquitoes here either, so he replied in agreement and walked towards the cave.
Li Qingling squinted her eyes and slowly pulled out her arrows. When Gou Dan was about 10 steps away from the cave, she shot her arrows towards Gou Dan's head.
Gou Dan who thought that the cave was inhabited by ordinary people was caught off guard and killed by Li Qingling with just one arrow.
Even in death .. When Gou Dan fell to the ground, his eyes were still wide open.
When the other soldiers saw this unforeseen event, they were stunned. This .. How could someone with such accurate archery skills be an ordinary person?
The leader quickly ordered the other soldiers to hide.
This time, they had brought spears with them without shields. It was impossible for them to protect themselves with shields.
Before he came, Gou Dan had said that they were only a few children. Ordinary people, they were already so arrogant, thinking that they don't need to use shields when dealing with ordinary people, but they didn't expect that ..
"Who is inside? "Get out here right now." The leader was hiding under a big tree, cursing at the cave, "Count it three times, otherwise come out, I won't be polite."
After waiting for a moment and not hearing a single sound, he gritted his teeth and started counting.
"One .." No sound ...
"Two .." After waiting for a while, there was still no sound, "The last one, if you don't come out obediently, then don't blame me for being heartless." His tone carried annoyance.
"Three .."
Sou! Sou! The moment he said that, an arrow flew towards him. Luckily he got it quickly, otherwise, he would have ended up in the same situation as Gou Dan.
"Damn it, we were tricked, we were tricked by Gou Dan." The Boss scolded him in a low voice. After he finished, he sent someone back to find the archers. He did not believe that he would not be able to take down the people inside.
She turned her head to look at Liu Zhimo, and whispered to him, "The soldiers outside are about to go back and increase the number of reinforcements. If we stay here, it'll be dangerous." Although her arrow had missed them, it wouldn't last for long.
If they were to increase the number of reinforcements for the archers, it would be even more disadvantageous for them.
"Then let's leave now." As soon as Liu Zhimo heard her words, he made his decision.
He knew that it would be really difficult to rely on her alone. He might as well risk it all and leave this place.
Li Qingling bit her lower lip, turned around and looked at the children who were huddled together, and nodded with difficulty.
He might still be alive if he fought, but if he didn't, he could only wait here for his death.
"Do you want to go?" The old man walked over with large strides while carrying the poison, "What's the situation outside?"
"I killed one. There are still twenty people outside." Li Qingling said quickly, "They are increasing the number of reinforcements for the archers. With the arrival of the archers, even if we want to leave, we cannot do so. We can only wait here for our deaths."
The old man weighed the pros and cons, immediately nodding, "Then let's go." It was better than dying here.
After making their decision, they beckoned for the few children to come over. Li Qingfeng hugged Li Qingning, whose eyes were filled with tears but did not dare to cry, and said with a trembling voice, "Big sister, are there a lot of bad people outside?" He could hear the shouts outside.
Li Qingling rubbed Li Qingning's little head, then patted Li Qingfeng's head, his heart aching, "Is Xiao Feng a brave man?"
"Yes..." Li Qingfeng straightened his back. He was a brave man, he wanted to protect his sister and sister, he could not be afraid.
"Alright, don't look back when we leave. Just try your best to walk towards a remote area. Run as fast as you can. Do you understand?"
Li Qingfeng's eyes reddened, and he nodded his head as he choked with emotions.
Li Qingling endured the pain in her nose and looked at the other children, "You guys too, do you understand?" She hoped they would all escape.
The few children wiped their tears as they replied.
Li Qingling reached out and hugged Li Qingning, and kissed her cheeks, "Ning Ning is so great, she's a good baby. Don't be afraid, big brother and big sister are here!" With that, she pushed Li Qingning into the old man's embrace, "Old man, I'll leave Ning Ning to you."
The old man hugged Li Qingning tightly, wanting to say something, but his throat felt like it was blocked by a rock, he could not say a word, and could only nod his head.
Li Qingling thanked her and then hugged Liu Zhirou who was carrying her. He also kissed her little face, praised her a little, and then handed her over to Liu Zhimo.
She looked deeply at Liu Zhimo, "Take them out. Zhi Moge, I believe you can do it."
"I don't .."
"Zhi Moge, this is the best decision." Li Qingling interrupted Liu Zhimo and said, "Ah Huang, Little White will cover your retreat."
This was the best she could think of. If there was no one to cover them, none of them would be able to escape.
"Mo brat, listen to Ling'er."
The tears in Liu Zhimo's eyes instantly flowed down. He tightly closed his eyes, endured the pain in his heart, and nodded with difficulty.
Li Qingling reached out and hugged him tightly. She did not dare say that she would wait for her to say those words, because she did not know if she would be able to escape safely.
She gently opened the wooden door and told them in a low voice, "Wait for us to leave, then you guys will sneak out in the opposite direction." After saying that, she gave them another deep look, clenched her teeth, turned her head, and walked out with the Black and White.
