Liu Zhimo knocked on her head, and laughed: "How can that be? It"s too late for me to thank you! " Thanks to her foresight and h.o.a.rding of so much food, they were able to live with ease through this terrifying drought.What he hoped the most was that the Southern Swallow King would not attack this remote place. Only by doing so would they be able to safely pa.s.s through this place.
Li Qingling"s expression was cheerful as she pursed her lips into a smile and immersed herself into cleaning the cave. Luckily she came here to hunt and discovered this cave, only then would they be able to hide when they met with disasters.
Otherwise, they would have to drag their families to escape.
Their entire family was children. If they really were to escape, then it would be extremely dangerous!
"Here we can make a wooden bed out of wood as a place to sleep." Li Qingling pointed to a relatively flat and relatively high location and said, "At a time like this, there"s no need to care so much about it. She didn"t even have the time to think about her own life, what disreputable reputation? Let"s put it aside for now!
Besides, they lived in this cave, and no one would know that they slept together.
If not for his red face revealing his emotions, Liu Zhimo would have really thought that he was that calm!
Glancing at him, Li Qingling turned around, covered her mouth and laughed. She no longer dared to tease him, afraid that he would become shy and refuse to squeeze in and sleep.
If that were the case, it would be troublesome.
The cave was only this big, so there was no way for him to sleep in other places.
It took the two of them a quarter of an hour to clean up the cave. Once it was cleaned, the two of them went to get their younger brother and sister. As for Tiger, he also dug it up with his claws.
It was just that the terrain was a bit high, so when it came up, it was a bit out of breath.
Seeing Tiger like this, Li Qinglin was actually more at ease. This way, it would be difficult for other wild beasts to enter.
However, for the sake of safety, she decided to find some more big rocks in the next two days to make the hole a little smaller. It could also be considered as a way to cover up the hole a little more so that no one could see it.
When the children went up to the cave and looked around, Liu Zhirou frowned and asked, "Big sister, are we going to stay here?" This place is so run-down, why does it have to be here?
"Yeah, I"m going to stay here for a while!" Li Qingling caressed Liu Zhirou"s face and explained softly, "After we beat away the bad guys, we can go home and live." She knew that Liu Zhirou was still young, and was puzzled by why she did not live in a beautiful house. She tried her best to explain to her why she lived here.
Only in this way would she not make any noise.
Liu Zhirou seemed to understand what she meant and nodded her head, "Alright …" It was good that she was with her older brother and sister.
Li Qingling kissed her, telling her to be good.
She sat on the ground to rest for a moment, then said, She"s going home, bring the rest, let them watch out in the cave, don"t go out.
Hearing that she was going back right now, Liu Zhimo and the rest were all worried, they frowned and looked at her, then told her not to go back, they did not want those chicks anymore.
They wouldn"t be able to rest easy if she went back alone.
"It"s not just for the chickens. I also want to bring the quilts from home. The temperature in the mountain forest is relatively low. I"m afraid it will be extremely cold." Li Qingling patiently explained to them. This was a critical event, and she couldn"t get sick!
If he got sick, it would cost him his life.
"How about I go with you? If you go back alone, you won"t be able to take so many things." Liu Zhimo thought for a moment and asked: "Do the two of you dare to bring your younger sister here?" He looked towards Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan.
Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan looked at each other and nodded.
Even though there was a trace of fear in their hearts, in order to not worry their older brother and sister, they could only nod.
They also wanted to shoulder some of the burden for their older brother and sister, not becoming a burden to them.
"No, I don"t agree." Li Qingling was strongly against it. She was extremely worried to let these children stay in the cave, "I"ll go back alone, there"s no need for you to go back. You stay here with the children." She looked at Liu Zhimo, wanting him to compromise.
If it was a normal day, Liu Zhimo would have compromised, but this time, he was also determined, and was definitely not willing to let her go back alone.
If she wanted to go back, she had to go with him, or she couldn"t go back.
This was the first time that Li Qingling had such a resolute att.i.tude towards her. Li Qingling was stunned, she knew that he was worried about her, but she really couldn"t be at ease with the few children here.
"Big sister, don"t worry. We"ll stay in the cave and not go anywhere. This way, nothing will happen to us." Seeing that the two of them were in a deadlock, Li Qingfeng could not help but advise Li Qingling, "Moreover, we still have Ah Huang!" From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Zhi Moge would accompany his sister and go back.
Liu Zhiyan also continued, "That"s right, Xiao Lingjie, you really don"t have to worry about us, we really will be fine. If they were stuck here, they might as well go and return early!
Li Qingling looked at the few of them, then nodded her head helplessly, "Alright then, Zhi Moge will accompany me back, all of you stay here and wait for us to return, you all are not allowed to leave the cave, understand?" She was afraid that if they went out and met some bear blind or something like that, Tiger wouldn"t be able to save them.
Hearing that, Li Qingfeng and the others nodded, guaranteeing that they wouldn"t go out, and let her be at ease.
Li Qingling sighed, she then warned them for a long time, and even went to pick up firewood to make some porridge when they were hungry, before following Liu Zhimo home.
The two of them were worried about the children in Matsuyama, so they naturally quickened their pace when they returned.
It took him six hours to return.
Although their home was at the foot of the mountain and there was a period of rejection from the village, their hearts still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw how empty the village was without any signs of human life.
I hope this disaster will soon be over! Get them back to their old lives.
The two of them returned home and sat down to rest. After eating some rations, they went to pick up their things and prepared to return to Matsuyama.
At this moment, they heard curses coming from outside the courtyard.
"d.a.m.n it, why are you doing this to the walls of the courtyard?" I can"t even climb up if I wanted to. "
Li Qingling frowned and blinked her eyes at Liu Zhimo. The two of them quietly put down their things and walked to the door, listening to what was happening outside.
At this moment, logically speaking, everyone in the village had run off, why would there still be people around?
"Brother Zhao, this door isn"t locked. There won"t be anyone inside right?" Another man spoke up.
Only then did that man called Brother Zhao look towards the courtyard door, tugging at the handle, then pushed the door open, "This is really the case, could there really be someone inside? Didn"t everyone in the village escape? How could there be anyone else around? "
They were also going to run for their lives. When they pa.s.sed Ox-Head Village, they saw this s.p.a.cious house with their greed. They wanted to see what kind of things this house had to steal.
However, they didn"t expect to find that the walls of the courtyard were so high that even if they wanted to enter, they wouldn"t be able to reach them.
"Brother Zhao, let"s forget about it. We still have to hurry!" If they did not hurry now, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
At this moment, his life was still the most important.
However, Brother Zhao was a bit unwilling, "We don"t have money on us, and we don"t have food. Even if we want to escape, we won"t be able to escape. We might as well go in and fish for something before we leave." He patted his companion on the shoulder. "Kneel down and let me step on you and climb this wall." No matter what, he had to get something here before leaving.
"Is that okay?"
"Alright, hurry up, don"t delay any longer." Brother Zhao impatiently lowered his companion"s body and stepped on it himself.
Li Qingling"s eyes turned cold, she pulled Liu Zhimo and slowly walked towards the backyard. There was a rather secretive door in the backyard, she had kept it to deal with the sudden situation, but she did not expect it to be used this time.
She held the bow and arrow, letting Liu Zhimo guard the door, she quietly went out to take a look, and would be back soon.
Although Liu Zhimo was worried, he knew that he couldn"t help her at the moment. He could only nod his head and remind her to be more careful, if he couldn"t help him, she would quickly return.
Li Qingling responded as she carefully walked out.
She went around to the front from the back door and hid by the wall. She saw a fat man squatting on the ground with a wretched and weak looking man on his shoulder. Obviously, that man was Brother Zhao.
She coldly snorted in her heart. Wanting to go in and steal from Li Qingling"s family was simply a dream.
She picked up her bow and arrow, aimed at the thin man"s clothes, and shot an arrow at him.
After firing the arrow, she turned around and ran back. She was afraid that the two men would run over to check on her, so she decided to hide first. It was safer.
A sudden arrow scared Brother Zhao so much that he fell off his companion. He looked at the arrow hanging on his robe with a pale face and felt his heart tremble. If this arrow went any higher, his arm would be crippled.
"Zhao... Brother Zhao, this... "Where did this arrow come from?" The fat guy swallowed his saliva, "We... Let"s hurry up and leave! " If he had another arrow, he would have lost his life.
Brother Zhao was also frightened. He did not expect that there was really someone inside who knew how to shoot arrows. His life was almost lost here.
He hatefully glared at the courtyard door as he secretly memorized this place in his heart. When he returned from escaping, he would come again to take revenge. "Let"s go …" He tore off the arrow from his robe, dropped it on the ground, got up and ran.
When Li Qingling heard the conversation, she quietly ran out to take a look. Seeing that there was no one else, she heaved a sigh of relief.
If the house was too s.p.a.cious and beautiful, it was easy to be targeted by thieves. Once they returned, she would put a nail in the wall of the yard to teach those who dared to set their eyes on them a lesson.
