They stayed in the cave for the next few days and did not go out, and the food was quickly eaten, which was originally left by accident, and was not specially brought, and was eaten after two days.

Fortunately, the meat and wild vegetables were enough, and when Mingzhu was idle, they made some wooden arrows and other objects for self-defense.

On the fourth day, the thief seemed to be back, the old man commanded Sun Jin Hongrui and a few other people with good martial arts to carry out various harassment and other effective tactics, in the process of blocking the enemy, Mingzhu learned a lot of things, which simply opened her eyes, and she felt that she had lived a lifetime in vain.

The old man is so good, he makes full use of the maximum potential of every person with sound hands and feet, and he doesn't even let go of women. Use their strengths and weaknesses to make a reasonable combination of work.

The leader of the thieves obviously did not have the rich combat experience of the old man in his life, and took advantage of the lack of wide vision in the dense forest, and led the enemy into the wolf's den several times, losing a lot of people to buy them a lot of time.

Mingzhu followed the old man, trying her best to learn the knowledge and experience she could learn, she was like an absorbent sponge, desperately learning the old man's tactics.

On the seventh day, they had been in the cave for seven days, and they had eliminated more than twenty of them, and I don't know how many were left.

It was obvious that they wanted to capture officials such as the Queen Mother and the old man as hostages to blackmail the emperor, and they became more and more fierce and unscrupulous.

Mingzhu looked at his grandfather, who was tired and gray, and felt distressed like a needle prick, "Grandfather, we can't wait for them, right?" ”

She felt that the old man had exhausted all his abilities, but there were too many people he had to protect, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and most of them had little combat effectiveness.

"Are you afraid?" The old man's eyes were calm and peaceful. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm a little scared, I'm afraid of pain, my arm hurts so badly, it makes me a little irritable." Mingzhu tells the truth.

"Well, don't be afraid, I'll try my best not to let you suffer." The old man smiled faintly.

Mingzhu smiled and nodded, "Okay." I love pretty. You're going to make me look better. ”

"Hmm."

Zhang covered his face and cried, "Father-in-law, are you really ruthless?" He understood. I couldn't hold back the tears that rained down.

"How do you think I climbed up? We can all die, but I don't allow anyone to insult the reputation of the Shangguan family, don't be afraid that I will be with you. Not going anywhere. The old man's voice was unusually gentle and kind.

"Brother, I'm dragging you down!" The Queen Mother looked at the old eldest brother. I sighed infinitely in my heart, the eldest brother is old, and he is no longer the beautiful man who was gentle and gentle in Yushu back then, in a blink of an eye. It's been all these years!

"Silly girl, I won't abandon you and ignore you, I'm better than others. I have a ruthless heart, but others can't be ruthless. The old man held the hands of the Queen Mother and her granddaughter. smiled.

"I'm content!" The Queen Mother smiled softly, her smile turned out to be so beautiful, so beautiful that it was so touching that the beauty and touching charm of the Queen Mother when she was young could be vaguely seen.

Li Qingyun took the initiative to come over and sit next to Mingzhu, "Grandpa Shangguan, can you do me a favor?" I am the daughter of the Li family, I can't ruin the reputation of my Li family, but I am afraid of pain and dare not do it myself, can I ask you to help our mother and daughter? My father went with Uncle Shangguan to kill the enemy, and I can't embarrass him. ”

As she spoke, she knelt in front of the old man, with tears in her eyes, and kowtowed three times.

She doesn't know how many thieves there are, but she knows one thing, she must not be captured, once the reputation of the Li family is completely destroyed, the other daughters of the Li family will be pointed out by thousands of people, she can't afford this crime, she would rather die to protect the reputation of the Li family.

"Grandpa Shangguan, I'm embarrassing you, please!" Li Qingyun fell to the ground and refused to get up.

The women sat together, smiling shallowly, with sadness and despair, but also with a hint of relief.

"Don't worry, I will personally solve you, and no one will be left behind, I just hope that your relatives will not blame our Shangguan family." The old man smiled.

"Old man, you have done enough, if one of us is lucky enough to survive, we will definitely restore the truth truthfully, and we will never let the Shangguan family suffer injustice."

"Qian'er, go and make all the food, all the food, let's have a big meal, let's replace the wine with water, and have a drink." Mingzhu suddenly smiled, laughing so heartily.

The girls made a lot of food with their own hands, exhausted their wisdom, and made a big mess of meat, because there was no food, and the cakes were all eaten, only meat, and wild vegetables were gone, and there were too many thieves to dig wild vegetables.

Mingzhu was the first to pick up a piece of bacon and nodded while eating, "Whose smoked meat is this, it's so delicious and full of flavor!" ”

"Really? I smoked it. Li Qingyun raised his head in surprise and blinked his big eyes, which looked quite cute.

"It's delicious, what you're making is delicious." The pearl does not make the color compliment.

Li Qingyun smiled shyly.

There were voices and shouts and curses outside, but the thieves still found this place, and many people stopped their movements and looked privately, not knowing what to do now.

The old man Mingzhu, the Queen Mother and the others, were still eating, until they were all full, and Mingzhu drank a large glass of water before squinting comfortably.

Pick up the dagger and stuff the knife to Zhang. After thinking about it, he took off the crossbow quiver and tied it to Li Qingyun's arm, told her how to use it, and said at the end, "Give it back to me when you use it, this thing is not easy to get, I lent it to you, not to give it to you." ”

Mingzhu looks quite stingy.

Shuyi was happy, "Look at Mingzhu's stingy appearance." ”

"Why, you're not jealous of me without you." Mingzhu shrugged her little nose.

"Who is jealous of you, don't stink!" Shuyi rolled her eyes.

"It's all full, you're ready to fight, you of the second family stay behind and guard them, if it's ......, you can cut yourself." The old man spat out this sentence coldly.

Zhang bowed his head respectfully, "Yes." There was not a hint of hesitation or dissatisfaction.

"Yes!" All women, old and young, answered in unison, for the sake of the family and for the sake of their children, they could never be captured, but death was still honorable.

"Mingzhu, come with me to fight, the children of my Shangguan family will die on the battlefield if they die, and they will die glorious!" The old man is sonorous and powerful.

"Yes."

Mingzhu clenched the dagger and stood with the old man, calm and fearless, she was really afraid of death before, she was afraid of death, she died once but she was still afraid of death, the fear and struggle before death, she couldn't forget that feeling.

But at this moment, she felt unusually relieved and calm, because her grandfather and the queen mother were there, was she no longer alone?

She doesn't know, but she feels that her life is worth it, she is very happy, she has got the affection she wants, she is very satisfied, but she is sorry for her grandmother and mother, I don't know if they can bear the bad news of their own people?

Big brother, are they okay? Is it safe? (To be continued.) )
