At this critical moment, a few leaves shot out at a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye, aiming for the head and the neck of the soldier beside him.

Those people stopped their thrusting at Tiger, and with a clang, their long swords and spears fell to the ground, and their bodies fell as well.

This change in events caused everyone to be stunned. Li Qingling was the first to recover and shouted at Ah Huang, "Ah Huang, come back."

Ah Huang threw himself onto the ground and bit off one of his enemies" neck, then he ran back to Li Qingling"s side.

Li Qingling glared at Tiger, "I"ll deal with you later." After saying that, she looked at Liu Zhimo again, signalling him not to come over, and hid first.

She picked up the spear from the ground and tried to fight the remaining enemies, but before she could do anything, all of them fell.

She gripped the spear in her hand tightly and scanned her surroundings. When she couldn"t find the mysterious person who had saved her, she opened her mouth and said, "I wonder who it was that saved this little girl. Could you come out to meet me?" The gooseb.u.mps on her skin stood on end as she spoke in such a gentle manner.

With that, a black-clothed man descended. He did not wait for Li Qingling to ask, and directly told Li Qingling that he was the one who asked him to protect them.

It was fortunate that he came in time, otherwise …

Hearing that, Li Qingling"s mouth curved into a smile, and he thanked the black-clothed man.

Once she finished speaking, Liu Zhimo, who was rushing over, grabbed her shoulders. He looked up and down at her, and only after seeing that she was safe and sound did he finally calm down.

He yanked her into his arms, a little shakily. "I"m glad you"re all right."

Li Qingling patted his back and said softly, "It"s all thanks to the Black and White." If it weren"t for them, she wouldn"t have been able to hold on for much longer. "Why did you come back? I didn"t want you to …"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Liu Zhimo, "It"s impossible for me to let me bring the children and flee, while you alone face the enemy." He tightened his grip on her. "Whether I live or die, I want to be with you."

Hearing his words, Li Qingling"s eyes turned red, and she called him a fool.

If he wasn"t a fool, then what was he?

But she liked his stupidity.

"We have to hurry and leave. When the archers come, we won"t be able to leave." Li Qingling pushed Liu Zhimo away gently and said anxiously.

As soon as he said that, the man in black opened his mouth, "The enemy forces have all been annihilated." This was also the reason why he came here rather late.

He rushed over with his men after annihilating the enemy in front of him.

Hearing that, Li Qingling"s eyes lit up, and he looked at the black clothed man. "Really? They were all annihilated? " If that was the case, then they wouldn"t have to be afraid to live here.

The man in black nodded.

"That"s great. Help us thank your general." She knew that if Liu Zhihao had not given the order, the black-clothed man would not even have come here to kill the Southern Swallow King"s soldiers.

The man in black still nodded.

Li Qingling laughed and heaved a sigh of relief, and shook Liu Zhimo"s hand tightly: "Zhi Moge, go and call the children back, I will help the Black and White bandage his wound." Then, she turned to the black clothed man, "Can I trouble you to protect Zhi Moge?" She was afraid of wild beasts deep in the mountains.

"Sure..." The general had sent him to protect the three Liu Zhimo siblings in the first place, "I am called Eleven."

"Thank you, Eleventh Brother." Li Qingling smiled at him, then thanked him, "Zhi Moge, go on, don"t worry about me."

Liu Zhimo looked at Ah Huang who was lying on the ground and gasping for breath, and said worriedly: Carry Ah Huang back to the cave first, I"ll go find them later. He could not be at ease to leave her here with the injured Black and White.

No matter what, they had to be sent back to the cave.

Looking down at Tiger, who was a lot weaker than him, Li Qingling rubbed its big head in pain and agreed to Liu Zhimo"s words.

The two of them lifted their hands and realized that Tiger was too heavy. They could only lift him up a little bit, but it was impossible to walk back.

There was no helping it, the two of them could only look at Eleven, who took a step forward and lifted Tiger onto his shoulder.

Li Qingling: "..."

Liu Zhimo: "..."

Is he too strong? He could actually lift Tiger so heavy.

After glancing at the two of them, Eleven said, "Lead the way."

Li Qingling laughed with Liu Zhimo, and the two of them took the lead to walk towards the cave.

After returning to the cave, Li Qingling urged Liu Zhimo to quickly find them. He didn"t even have the heart to relax after seeing his children safely returning.

Liu Zhimo exhorted Li Qingling for a long time before finally leaving.

When Liu Zhimo left, Li Qingling took the Herba Hemostadiae and started fiddling with it. After finishing the Herba Hemostadiae, he helped the Black and White apply the medicine.

"This time, I"ve got more than the two of you. If it wasn"t for you two, I would have been dead by now."

Tiger stuck out his tongue and licked the back of Li Qingling"s hand, snorting twice.

Upon hearing its hmph, Li Qingling knocked its head, pretending to be fierce, "Tiger, if you don"t listen to me the next time, I"ll beat you up, and beat your b.u.t.t up, do you hear me?" When she saw the sword stabbing towards it, she really felt as if her heart had stopped beating. "If it wasn"t for the eleventh hour, you would have already been pierced into a hornet"s nest."

Saying that, she lowered her voice, put down the Herba Hemostadiae in her hands, and hugged Tiger"s head, her voice choked with emotions, "Tiger, you are my relative, if you were gone, how sad would it be? How sad are the children? "

Tiger stuck out his tongue and licked the tears that Li Qingling had shed on her nose.

"We can"t do this next time, okay?"

This time, Tiger said nothing.

It knew that the next time it encountered that kind of situation, it would still do the same thing. It had been raised by Li Qingling, and she was its mother.

Li Qingling wiped the tears off its eyes, knocked its head twice, and unhappily continued to apply the medicine.

Its injuries would require at least ten to fifteen days to half a month to recover.

She silently sighed, and quickly helped to bandage them before asking worriedly: "I wonder how the children are doing? Can Zhi Moge successfully find them? " She was afraid that they would hide and Zhi Moge would not be able to find them.

Her worry was not unreasonable. Liu Zhimo had ran back to the place where they had separated, and he had no idea which direction she would take?

He frowned and shouted, "Grandfather, Little Yan, Xiao Feng, where are you?" He called out a few times, but there was no response.

This is bad, I really don"t know where they went to hide.

Eleven steps forward, looks around, and points in one direction. They"re heading that way.

Liu Zhimo looked at him and decided to believe his words.

He had to find them before nightfall, or he was afraid something might happen to them.

In this deep mountain, it was very easy to encounter wild beasts.

Especially during this period, there was nothing to eat, so the wild beasts were even more ferocious.

But at this time, Liu Zhiyan and the others had truly met a wild beast, a wolf that was hungry to the point of ruthlessness.

The old man pulled the few children behind him and shoved Li Qingning into Li Qingfeng"s embrace, "I"ll drag it away, you guys go first." In his heart, he was extremely vexed. If he had brought some poison with him in the past, he would have been able to save himself in such a sudden situation!

Now, he could only rely on physical combat.

Li Qingfeng"s eyes were extremely red, "Grandfather, I will lure it away, you bring them away."

"No, let me …" Big River walked in front of the old man with a determined look, "Grandfather, bring Xiao Feng and the others with you."

If it wasn"t for Xiao Lingjie taking him and his sister in, he and his sister would have been starved a long time ago.

His life was Xiao Lingjie"s, and he wanted to protect Xiao Feng and the others well.

Thinking about Li Qingling, who had gone to fight the enemy himself in order for them to leave, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Brat, what are you here for?" The old man scolded and pulled the river behind him, "Grandfather is already this old, you all are still young and still have a long way to go."

Even if he had to put his life on the line, he would let these children escape.

"No …." Li Qingfeng and the other children opened their mouth to object, but the old man interrupted them.

He clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Xiao Feng, for the sake of your big brother and sister, you must live on with your little sister. You must live on." When he thought that Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo might already be dead, his nose turned sour. If they were to hand the children into his hands, he would let the children live.

"It"s a deal then. I"ll stall the wolf, and you guys should take the chance to escape." Pausing for a moment, he then closed his eyes and said with great difficulty, "Let"s split up and run."

He didn"t know how long this could drag on. If they were to split up and flee, there would be people who had a chance to live on.

He didn"t have much ability, so this was all he could do.

When Li Qingfeng and the others understood what the Old Man had said, they could no longer hold back their tears.

Li Qingning felt this sorrowful atmosphere. She, who had been puckering her lips and didn"t dare to cry, could not help but burst into tears even more.

She cried, and Liu Zhirou cried along with her.

Hearing the howls, they looked at the wolf that was eyeing them covetously and moved their front paws restlessly, ready to pounce at any moment.

None of them noticed that the stream behind them was trembling slightly. After taking a deep breath, their expressions became firm.

She took a deep look at the river, wiped her face with her hand, then quietly walked a few steps back, bent down, picked up a big rock, clenched her teeth, and rushed out to the side. Facing the wolf, she forcefully threw the rock in her hand out, "Come, come and bite me!"

Big River saw the small stream that was provoking the wolf and cried out, "Sis …"

"Go …" Hurry up and leave... " A smile appeared on Creek"s face. "Big River, live on. You must live on."

The enraged wolf howled and pounced towards the stream. The moment it saw the stream, it turned around and ran.
