He had not expected that the army of the Southern Yan King would arrive at Anyang County so quickly, and the speed was much faster than he had expected.

Now that they lived in the mountains, they really didn"t know what was going on outside?

"Xiao Ling, did you see them at the outskirts of Matsuyama Mountain?" Liu Zhi frowned as he asked Li Qingling.

Li Qingling leaned on the side of the hole and looked outside through the small crack in the stone. "Mmm, when I heard that they were coming here to hunt, I quickly ran back." Luckily, Tiger was there, otherwise they would have been in deep trouble.

Facing so many soldiers, it would be hard for her to escape, much less bring along a few children.

Thinking of this, she began to sweat profusely.

Hearing that, Liu Zhimo frowned even more. He turned and looked at the few children, especially Li Qingning and Liu Zhirou, "Bad people are coming to capture us, you must not make any noise. Once we do, and get caught, we won"t be able to see big brother and big sister anymore. He was not worried about these two youngsters, but rather, he was worried that they wouldn"t be able to stop themselves from talking.

When the two youngsters heard that they were caught by the bad guys and lost sight of their older brothers and sisters, they became scared and shook their heads without saying a word.

"Good boy …" Liu Zhimo rubbed his two little heads and praised them, "Xiao Feng, you guys watch over your little sisters, do you understand?" He then turned to look at Li Qingfeng and the others.

Li Qingfeng and the others acknowledged him, "Zhi Moge, don"t worry, we will definitely look favorably upon our younger sisters." They would not let their sisters fall at such a critical moment.

This time, it was different from the past. If he failed, he would really lose his life.

Liu Zhimo grunted, stood up and walked to Li Qingling"s side, then extended her hand to grab her curled into a fist. She slowly pulled away her finger, and gently held it.

Feeling the cold sweat on her hand, he whispered, Don"t be afraid, I"m here.

Li Qingling exhaled lightly, she closed her eyes and opened them, then looked at him, "I am truly afraid …" They were afraid that the soldiers would discover them.

She couldn"t protect them.

He tightly clenched her trembling hand and pursed his lips. "It"s nothing." At this moment, he didn"t know what to say to comfort her.

No matter what he said, he seemed so weak and powerless.

He hated himself for not being strong enough to protect her from this kind of thing, to let her suffer the fear alone.

Li Qingling shifted her stiff body and gently leaned against his, wanting to take a sense of security from his body. Only by doing this would she not feel that she was the one who was struggling to hold on and be afraid.

Liu Zhimo put his arm around her shoulders and said apologetically: "Sorry, I can"t help you." Compared to Li Qingling, he really did too little.

Hearing his guilty words, she shook her head and said, "Don"t apologize to me, you"ve already helped me a lot. Really, if not for you, I really don"t know what I would have done." It seemed like she was the one who was supporting this family.

In reality, he was the one who was supporting her. From teaching her children to the small matters at home, they were all under his control. What had she really done?

He paid more than she did, but he didn"t realize it.

Liu Zhimo tightened the hold on her shoulder. If he could, he really hoped that he could help her support the sky so that she could live carefree life.

But he couldn"t do it yet. He wasn"t strong enough.

In the future, he would definitely do it.

The two of them quietly snuggled up to each other, neither of them said a word, Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan looked at each other, then hugged their little sisters, and started to coax them softly.

They wanted their sisters to sleep, and only when they were asleep did they not speak.

Perhaps it was because they were really tired, the two little ones, under their coaxing, fell asleep not long after.

They carefully helped them cover themselves with their blankets and made the big river and the small stream watch them. Then, the two of them ran over to Li Qingling and"s side softly.

"Sis, will those bad guys really come in?" Li Qingfeng leaned next to Li Qingling and whispered.

Seeing his sister"s solemn expression, he knew that the Southern Swallow King soldiers were very powerful. Once they fell into their hands, they would die without a complete corpse.

Li Qingling turned to look at Li Qingfeng and sighed, if they wanted to hunt, they would definitely come here.

There weren"t many prey on the outskirts of the mountain. If they wanted to hunt, they would definitely come this way.

"Elder sister, I will protect you." Despite the fear in his heart, he still straightened his back to protect his sister.

His father had told him that since he was a boy, he had to protect and rely on his elder sister.

Feeling warm in her heart, Li Qingling couldn"t help but extend her hand and rub Li Qingfeng"s head, smiling as she said, "Then I"ll thank you, Xiao Feng. It"s just that you have a mission right now." After a pause, he continued, "Take care of your little sister, don"t let her wake up." It wasn"t that she didn"t trust the river or the stream, but that her sister was brought up by her brother. With him by her side, she would be able to sleep more peacefully.

Seeing how determined his sister was, Li Qingfeng closed his eyes and helplessly nodded before turning around and returning to the bed.

In order to not worry his sister, he would take good care of her.

"You go as well." Liu Zhimo turned and said to Liu Zhiyan who was standing beside him.

Liu Zhiyan originally thought that he would be able to escape this calamity and accompany his big brother here.

After Liu Zhiyan left, Liu Zhimo embraced Li Qingling and stood by the cave entrance, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

After an unknown period of time, Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo"s legs were tired from standing and their bodies were stiff, only then did the enemy appear.

"F * ck … " This is what I saw first, don"t even think about s.n.a.t.c.hing it from me! "

"What did you see first? It was clearly Yours Truly who saw it first. Don"t have any ideas about me. "

This sudden outburst caused Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo to shiver. The two of them uncontrollably stood up straight and stared outside.

Moments later, a few contradictory figures appeared outside.

"Are the prey here refined? So hard to catch? "

"It"s really not easy to hit a tooth pendant."

"If you can see the meat, you should be secretly laughing. Stop talking nonsense and quickly go find that rabbit and see where you have run off to."

Several soldiers said angrily while looking around to see where the rabbit had gone.

Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo looked, and did not even dare to make a sound, afraid that they would be discovered.

If they found out about this, then his entire family would be wiped out in one go.

"Bad guy..."

Right at this moment, a young and tender voice sounded out from the tense atmosphere. This voice scared Li Qingling and the others to the point that their souls almost fell out of their bodies.

Li Qingfeng stared intently at Li Qingning, thinking that she had woken up. He wanted to cover her mouth, but he realized that she had not woken up at all, and was only talking in his sleep.

With that, he hesitated. He didn"t know whether to cover her mouth or not. He was afraid that by covering her mouth, he would wake her up.

He looked at Li Qingling and asked her for her opinion.

Li Qingling used her lips to say, covering her mouth.

As a precaution, he covered his heart with his hands.

It was impossible, so Li Qingfeng could only gently cover Li Qingning"s small mouth to prevent her from speaking again.

Seeing that, Liu Zhiyan also reached out his hand to cover Liu Zhirou"s mouth, just in case.

Seeing that, Li Qingling turned her eyes to the outside once again. The soldiers outside probably did not hear Li Qingling calling them bad people.

As she was thinking this, she heard one of the soldiers near the cave say, "I thought I heard someone talking." I don"t hear it very clearly, do I?

When he said these words, Li Qingling and the others" hearts immediately rose, their palms drenched with cold sweat.

"Did you hear wrongly? Other than us, who else would come? "

"That"s right, those who should be escaping have all fled. I want to vent, but I don"t have a woman to vent on."

Hearing his comrade say so, the soldier scratched his head, thinking that he had probably heard wrongly.

There was no way someone else could come here.

"Stop talking so much nonsense and quickly find that rabbit!" I don"t believe that it can escape our encirclement. "

"Stop talking, just quietly search. No matter how loud you speak, many prey will be scared away."

The soldiers felt that this made sense, so they all shut their mouths and quietly searched for the rabbit.

"Why do I feel like someone is living here?" It was the same soldier who spoke. He looked at the footprints on the ground and asked, "Look, are there any footprints on the ground?"

"It"s really true. Did you really hit the nail on the head? Is there someone living here?"

Li Qingling bit her lower lip hard, not daring to continue looking at the soldiers outside, afraid that they would notice.

She tugged on Liu Zhimo"s hand. Liu Zhimo understood, and retracted his gaze.

However, when the two of them held hands, they were trembling. They were truly afraid that the soldiers would discover this cave.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qingling let go of Liu Zhimo"s hand, and wiped the cold sweat on his palms off his clothes. He picked up the bow and arrows placed at the side, ready to fight at any time.

Once they found out, she would risk her life to kill them.

Even if the chances of her survival were very small, she would still go all out.

"Let"s look around here. Is there really someone living here?"

"If only there were a woman."

The soldiers were not looking for rabbits at the moment. They were excited to look for someone.

They thought that if they found a woman, they would feel refreshed.

These past few days, they had been suppressing themselves for too long. If they didn"t relax a bit, they would really suffocate themselves to death.

"Don"t you guys think it"s a little strange up there?" The soldier looked towards Li Qingling"s cave.

When he looked, it made Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo"s hearts sink. Had they been discovered?
