Chapter 8: Hunted by bandits
This posture is very intimate and ambiguous, but Lin Yueru doesn't care about these at all.
She came to her senses instantly.
Although she couldn't hear any sound even though she priped up her ears, she had no doubt about Han Yanqing's words.
"Can you tell how many people there are, where they're coming from, and how far away they are from us?"
Han Yanqing pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, then firmly pointed in the direction they had come.
"It's from over there, there should be three or four people, riding horses, ...... away from us."
Han Yanqing suddenly got stuck.
He didn't know how to describe the distance.
Lin Yueru thoughtfully changed her question, "Do you think it's not far from us?" β
"Not far! It's here in a moment! β
Lin Yueru frowned.
She always felt that the person who came was not good.
At this time, it is not ordinary people who can still have horses!
Not to mention riding a horse overnight.
This thing, how strange it sounds!
After reconfirming with Han Yanqing, Lin Yueru crept to the side and woke up Mrs. Han.
It had been several days since she had escaped from the famine, and Mrs. Han was sleeping in a daze, when she suddenly felt that someone had been clapping her hands in her dream.
She opened her eyes irritably, trying to scold a few times.
What caught my eye was Lin Yueru's handsome little face.
The old lady couldn't help but be stunned.
The voice also unconsciously softened, "Ru girl, what's wrong, why don't you sleep?" β
Lin Yueru saw her wake up, leaned over and whispered.
"Mother, Yan Qing said that someone rode a horse towards us, I am always uneasy, so I can only tell you."
When Mrs. Han heard this, she suddenly stopped sleepy, she turned over and sat up.
"What?! Someone came on horseback in the middle of the night? Did the fourth child hear it?! β
Han Yanqing nodded vigorously, "Listen to it, someone is riding a horse and coming from over there!" β
When Mrs. Han saw that he was pointing in the direction he came from during the day, her face was a little bad.
Riding here in the middle of the night, even if it wasn't for them, it would be fine!
The old lady made a quick decision and woke up the whole family.
Lin Yueru's favorite thing is Mrs. Han's decisiveness, and when she saw that she paid attention to it, she silently retracted to the side.
Everyone was a little confused and stared when they woke up.
When I looked up, it was still early in the morning, and I wanted to fall asleep when I closed my eyes.
"Mother, it's not early, it's not too late for us to sleep a little longer and then hurry!"
Mrs. Han glared, "What are you sleeping, the thieves are catching up from behind their buttocks!" β
"Thieves?!"
"Where's the thief!?"
Han Lao Da and Han Lao Er suddenly became sleepy, and as soon as they turned over and sat up from the straw mat, their eyes were bigger than the copper bell.
Zhao Shuangtao and Li Qiumei were not sleepy, nervously protecting the child, waiting for her mother-in-law's words.
Mrs. Han waved her hand calmly.
"Don't worry, it's not there yet."
Seeing that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, she added unhappily.
"The fourth child heard it clearly, three or four people rode horses along the road we came from to this side, you look at it yourself, what good thing can this be?"
When everyone heard this, they also came back to their senses.
Without the urging of Mrs. Han, she packed all her things, and sat on the straw mat with a weapon in her hand.
Han Lao Da and Han Lao Er all held big knives and sickles, and Han Yanqing also carried a short knife in his hand.
Under the moonlight, the short knife exudes a burst of cold glow, and it is extraordinary at first glance!
Seeing her looking, Mrs. Han explained softly: "This is what the fourth child carried on her when she came back." β
Lin Yueru nodded clearly.
Originally, because there was no sound for a long time, everyone relaxed their vigilance and took a nap with the child in their arms.
But with Han Yanqing's voice, "It's coming." β
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near!
The hearts of everyone in the Han family instantly rose to their throats, and they shrank in the cave and didn't dare to move.
"Phewβ"
Really!
Several horses were parked outside the cave.
A few men turned over and dismounted, and came down with torches to investigate, causing a burst of dissatisfied scolding in the cave.
"Who?! In the middle of the night, let no one sleep! β
Immediately afterwards, someone recognized these people as the group of mountain bandits who robbed them in the first place!
There was chaos in the cave!
"It's a bandit! Daddy, the bandits are here againβ"
"Run! Run! β
Screams, cries, and begs for mercy, the cave suddenly became a mess!
Suddenly, there was a sound of swords breaking through the air!
I only heard a strong voice scolding.
"Shut up the fuck!"
There was silence in the cave for an instant, and even the crying children were covered by their families.
The man's threatening eyes swept around, "Today's matter has nothing to do with you, we are here to find someone!" Anyone in the house who is young or male or female, let our brothers go and check it! β
"If only let me know that you dare to harbor people......"
Before he finished speaking, he slashed at the small tree with the thickness of his arm, and the young tree was split in two!
Lin Yueru's heart was beating non-stop.
She finally knew why she was upset!
That night, in order to protect herself, she and Han Yanqing teamed up to kill the mountain bandit!
At that time, the crowd was chaotic and no one cared about them, this is the mountain bandits who came to their senses to settle accounts with them after the autumn!
As the mountain bandits began to search for the cave from the other side, Lin Yueru immediately made a decision in her heart.
She grabbed Han Yanqing's hand.
Han Yanqing looked back at her puzzled, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Don't be afraid, there's Yan Qing. β
Lin Yueru shook her head.
Seeing Mrs. Han looking over, she briefly explained the events of that day and her own guesses.
After listening to this, Mrs. Han's face became very ugly.
Her voice trembled, "These Eight Achievements are for you!" Ru girl, this can't work, you have to run! You take Yan Qing and run! β
Even if she didn't say it, Lin Yueru had already decided to leave.
Running now is the best choice, to avoid people fighting me for fish and meat, and to avoid affecting the old Han family.
After glancing at Mrs. Han and nodding, she took Han Yanqing's hand and ran out of the cave.
Han Yanqing was puzzled, but he thought that his daughter-in-law wanted to take him to play, and happily clenched her hand.
Before the Han family could react, the two of them had already drilled out of the hole.
Han Lao Er said loudly: "Mother? What's going on?! β
"Didn't Ru girl and the fourth child knock out a mountain bandit that day......"
Mrs. Han explained in a low voice while staring nervously at the situation outside.
After listening to Mrs. Han's words, everyone's hearts also pinched.
They couldn't do anything but silently pray in the cave that they would run away and not be discovered by those bandits!
The heavens do not fulfill people's wishes!
As soon as Lin Yueru pulled Han Yanqing out of the cave mansion, she bumped into a tall mountain bandit holding a torch head-on!
When the mountain bandit saw two people coming out of the cave, he was stunned at first.
Then his eyes narrowed, and he recognized Lin Yueru.
"It's you!"
