440 - Lack of food and drink
As expected, the attack of the Lihuo coalition army did not come as promised.
On the contrary, the white fox and his subordinates waited for nearly two hours, from noon to midday, and they did not see any movement from the Lihuo coalition army under the mountain.
Everyone has been highly nervous for so long, and they can't help but feel a little tired.
A patriarch asked the white fox, "What are the thieves doing, and why haven't they attacked?"
The other patriarch immediately retorted: "Wouldn't it be better if they didn't attack? โ
The patriarch who spoke earlier closed his mouth and didn't speak, just looked at the white fox.
Seriously, the white fox can't figure out what the thief is going to do now.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally, a laugh came out of his mouth: "Hmph, I know, I know what that bastard is thinking." โ
The other two patriarchs: "Hmm???"
I saw that the white fox smiled confidently: "It must be that the thief saw that our valley was not easy to attack, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to do it, haha, look at it, it won't take long for them to withdraw by themselves." โ
The two patriarchs were overjoyed when they heard this: "White Fox, what you said is true?"
"Of course, what am I lying to you? But the thief may also try to attack first, as long as we make them suffer this attack, when the time comes, the thief will definitely retreat. The white fox said like a dog-headed military advisor.
The other two patriarchs both stroked their palms and smiled: "That's right, White Fox, as long as we make the thief suffer, when the time comes, he will retreat himself." โ
"So, we have to be more energetic later, don't let the thief take advantage!"
"Don't worry, White Fox, you will never let the thief get your way. โ
The three Hanhan patriarchs spoke, and between their words, they were full of pride.
It's just that how did they think that the thief had no intention of attacking them at all?
From the afternoon to the evening, the people who had not eaten after returning from the defeat at noon could not stop thundering in their stomachs.
"White Fox, why haven't the thieves come yet?" the two patriarchs asked.
The white fox's stomach was also gurgling, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "But, maybe they want to sneak attack us at night, everyone get ready, we can't let them get their wish." โ
"Well, this guy is insidious and cunning, and it is possible to use any method. I listen to the white fox about this. A patriarch said.
The other patriarch hesitated for a moment: "Then, then I will also listen to the white fox." โ
So, at the request of these three Hanhan patriarchs, the clansmen of the White Fox Alliance could only hold out for another night.
When the next day came, the sleepy, hungry, and thirsty people could not hold it anymore.
With a pair of dark circles under his eyes, a patriarch turned his head and asked the white fox: "White fox, didn't you say that the thieves would attack at night? Why haven't there been any people who have seen them until now?"
The white fox hissed: "It shouldn't be, it stands to reason that with the character of the thief, he would definitely attack last night, has he become better?"
"I don't care if he is good or not, I, and my people are hungry and thirsty, white fox, hurry up and prepare food and water for us, we have to eat and sleep well, we haven't rested all night, and we are trapped to death." The other patriarch yawned.
However, when his words fell, he saw the white fox's pale and bloodless face.
At that time, the patriarch was shocked: "White fox, why is your face so white, what happened?"
"I guess it couldn't be a thief. As he spoke, the other patriarch turned his head to look out.
Outside the valley, however, the wind was calm, and there was nothing but the rustling of the wind through the bushes.
"Strange, White Fox, what's wrong?"
I saw that the corners of the white fox's mouth twitched: "Then, then I'll say one thing, don't be angry." โ
The two patriarchs instinctively felt that what the white fox said was not a good thing.
"Let's talk about it first, let's listen to what it is and then talk about whether to be angry or not. โ
White Fox: "ยทยทยท"
"Actually, there is no food or water in the valley..." The white fox said this with some guilt.
When the words fell, the two patriarchs were taken aback: "What !!?"
Immediately after, the two of them were angry, with questioning expressions: "White Fox, you don't even prepare food, what are you eating!"
Seeing the two of them like this, the white fox hurriedly said: "That, don't worry, we don't have food to store and the two of you know it, you can't blame me for this!"
Hearing this, the two patriarchs were stunned, and said in their hearts that what the white fox said was really the truth, and he did know about it.
But without food and water, should everyone be thirsty and hungry?
They snorted for a long time, and then said to the white fox: "Then what now? โ
The white fox thought for a while: "Wait, let's wait a while, and then sneak down the mountain to hunt and come back, to ensure that the clansmen are not hungry." โ
"How to go down? Don't forget, the thief is still down there. A patriarch snorted.
The white fox shook his head: "Really?"
The other two patriarchs were stunned: "What do you mean?"
The white fox smiled: "If the thief is really under the mountain, why hasn't he attacked since noon yesterday?"
Listening to the words of the white fox, the two patriarchs were also stunned.
yes, why didn't the thief attack.
"If you want me to say, the thief didn't attack, there are only two possibilities. The white fox said confidently.
"Which two are possible?"
"The first one, that is, the thief, he is afraid of us and does not dare to attack!"
"Okay, white fox, don't talk nonsense, Ji thief, he will be afraid of us? I don't know how badly we just let him fight yesterday? Changshui Patriarch and the three of them are dead, not to mention, we have also been arrested more than 200 clansmen. How could a thief be afraid of us?" a patriarch pouted disdainfully.
The white fox snorted, and said in his heart, how could he hit his own people like this?
With a snort, the white fox took a deep breath and continued: "Besides this, there is only one possibility. โ
"What?"
"That's the thief, they withdrew. โ
"Withdrawn?"
"Yes, I don't know why they withdrew, but it's very likely that something happened to him in the Eastern Plains, otherwise, there is no way to explain why they didn't attack us. The white fox said.
The other two patriarchs tilted their heads to look at the white fox, and said in their hearts that although this reason was a little ridiculous, it was much more reasonable than the reason why the first thief was afraid of himself.
"Since the thieves have withdrawn, what are we waiting for, hurry down the mountain to find food and water, if this continues, the clansmen will not starve to death, but also die of thirst. The two patriarchs said urgently.
On the contrary, it was the white fox who shook his head with the appearance of an old god: "Don't worry, don't worry, isn't this just my guess, let's wait, wait a while, if the thief doesn't show up, then it proves that they really withdrew, let's go down to find food and water." โ
The two patriarchs were a little unconvinced when they heard this, and they finally held back when they wanted to refute something: "Okay, just listen." โ
So, everyone in the White Fox Alliance waited for another hour or so, and finally, even the White Fox himself was thirsty, and when his throat was about to smoke, this guy couldn't help it, and said: "It seems that the thieves have really withdrawn, everyone follows me down the mountain, looking for food and water, alas, don't sleep for those few first, and then sleep after you are full." โ
In the midst of a shout, the sleepy, hungry, and thirsty people reluctantly gathered together and walked down the mountain.
From the white fox, everyone basically believed in the fact that the thief had withdrawn, so much so that when they came down the mountain, these people were faster than the other, as if it were a little later, and the prey and water would run away on their own long legs.
Oh yes, prey already has long legs.
All the way like a meteor catching the moon, one was more anxious than the other, and finally, everyone saw the water source at the foot of the mountain.
For a while, the entire foot of the mountain was filled with the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls of the White Fox Alliance clansmen, and they rushed towards the direction of the water source in unison, each of them shouting incessantly: "Water, it's water, it's water!"
The white fox didn't have time to restrain the people below, because he rushed forward himself.
For a time, the scene of the 100 people lying on the waterfront and gulping down the water was quite spectacular.
"The enemy has appeared, everyone, prepare to throw spears!"
