A koi spirit transmigrated into a book, becoming the daughter of a condemned official. As soon as she was born, her grandmother wanted to give her to a man-eating hunter. She could only cry and com...
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiang immediately turned to Zhu Wen and An Qing and instructed them, "You two take Grandma Zhu and the others out first. I'll wait here for Brother Chenfeng."
Everyone agreed with Chen Xiang's arrangement and hurriedly turned around to pack up their luggage and put it in bamboo baskets.
After carrying their bamboo baskets, everyone quickly followed behind Zhu Wen and An Qing, lining up in an orderly fashion and heading towards the exit.
Just as the Zhu family was heading towards the exit, Qiu Laoda worried that the fire at the cave entrance wouldn't be enough to frighten them.
So he ordered his men to cut down all the palm trees around the cave and pile them up at the entrance.
Xi Xi hid next to Qiu Laoda, angrily putting her hands on her hips and pursing her lips.
We must not let these villains succeed.
She rolled her eyes smugly, then quickly returned to her spatial dimension and went to the manor's warehouse.
She found an enormous hair dryer inside, but she was too weak to lift it.
They had no choice but to go to the Spirit Spring and ask the White Tiger for help.
"Little white tiger, help me."
Xi Xi pulled hard on the white tiger's whiskers, trying to pull it out of the spiritual spring.
But the white tiger simply rolled over without moving and continued to comfortably soak in the spiritual spring.
"Little White Tiger, you forced me to do this."
Seeing that the White Tiger wouldn't help, Xixi had no choice but to use all her trump cards, planning to put all the spring water into the bracelet.
When the white tiger saw Xixi take out the bracelet, it jumped out of the spiritual spring in fear, frowning angrily.
Reluctantly following Xixi to the warehouse, he easily hoisted the oversized hair dryer onto his back.
Then, guided by Xixi, they left the space and went directly into the cave, where they placed the hair dryer behind the fire.
Xi Xi happily circled around the giant hairdryer, pointing at the red button and indicating to Bai Hu to press it.
The white tiger glanced at Xixi speechlessly, then listlessly placed its furry paws on the red button.
After the button was pressed to start, the oversized hair dryer blew out a huge amount of air, which was directed into the fire.
The thick smoke that was originally blowing into the depths of the cave soon blew towards the bandits.
"Cough cough cough, boss, why is all this thick smoke blowing towards us?"
Boss Qiu thought he could just sit and wait for people to come out, but instead, his men were nearly suffocated by the thick smoke.
He pointed defiantly at the cave and said, "Someone, give me more firewood."
The bandits, choked by the thick smoke, kept throwing firewood into the cave entrance.
However, as the bandits approached, a huge gust of wind, accompanied by flames, rushed out of the cave entrance.
Many bandits were caught off guard and were attacked by the sudden flames. The flames quickly ignited their bodies and set them ablaze.
"Boss, I'm in trouble! Many of the brothers are on fire."
Upon hearing this, Boss Qiu hurriedly looked in the direction his men were pointing, and saw that all his brothers were groaning in pain.
He quickly directed everyone, "Quickly, put out the fire and save people!"

At this moment, the Zhu family members had already successfully met Zhu Haotian in the entrance passage, and Chen Xiang also led Zhu Chenfeng into the exit.
The group walked along the passage and, after about half a cup of tea's time, successfully passed through the passage and arrived outside the cave.
Panting, Old Lady Zhu gazed at the vast desert outside the cave and sighed helplessly, "When will this end?"
"Mother, we are getting closer and closer to Mohe City. We will see Sheng'an soon."
Worried that her mother-in-law's depression would affect her health, Liu gently comforted her by supporting her arm.
Hearing Old Lady Zhu's sighs, Chen Xiang came over with a torch and gently comforted her.
"Grandma Zhu, we're almost there, don't be too discouraged."
While comforting Old Lady Zhu, he subconsciously looked at Xixi, who was behind Liu Shi, and asked her with some concern.
"Madam Liu, after such a bumpy ride, is little Xixi alright?"
"It's nothing, Lord Chen is very kind."
Upon hearing the sound, Madam Liu turned her head to look at her daughter behind her. After hearing her daughter's soft snoring, she smiled and replied.
Chen Xiang, worried that the bandits would catch up, solemnly addressed the group.
"Those bandits will definitely not let this go, let's get out of here first!"
Under Chen Xiang's orders, the group resumed their journey, as the camels were still inside the cave.
The group had no choice but to walk towards Mohe City. Fortunately, it was only one kilometer away, and they could reach it before dawn.
After her family safely left the cave, Xixi slowly opened her eyes, happily stretched out her hands, and made babbling sounds.
[Almost there! I'll see Daddy soon! I'm so happy!]
Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Liu turned her head to look at her daughter behind her, a happy smile on her face.
"Xixi is awake?"
Upon hearing that her granddaughter had woken up, Old Lady Zhu quickly slowed her pace and came to Liu's side.
"Is Xixi hungry?"
"How about we stop and feed her some rice water? I've already prepared some in her water bottle."
When Sun heard that Xixi had woken up, she followed Old Lady Zhu over and offered her suggestions with a worried expression.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiang turned around and glanced in the direction they had gone. "Alright, we've walked for so long, it's good to find a place to rest."
[No rest, Xixi doesn't want to rest.]
Those bandits will come after us.
Xixi knew that everyone felt sorry for her, but she didn't want her family to waste their time.
When she saw her family stop, she cried out in distress.
When everyone heard Xixi crying, they immediately became anxious and frantically scrambled around her.
"What's wrong, Xixi? Are you hungry?"
"Do I still need to change the diaper?"
"Is your back uncomfortable?"
Everyone anxiously gathered around Liu, each trying to find out why Xixi was crying.
Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Liu felt a little embarrassed and quickly smiled and took a few steps back to explain.
"Everyone, please don't worry. Perhaps the bumpy ride is comfortable and Xixi likes it. She gets angry when we suddenly stop."
To prove her point, she put her hands behind her back and took a few steps forward.
Sure enough, after Liu took a few steps forward, Xixi stopped crying and waved happily.
After learning that Xixi didn't like to stop, everyone tacitly agreed to continue on their way.
I resumed my journey, slowly walking towards Mohe City.
They walked for an unknown amount of time, until dawn broke, and finally emerged from the desert.
Pedestrians also began to appear one after another in the surrounding area.
"We're here! We're almost there!" Chen Xiang excitedly reminded the people behind him after seeing pedestrians pushing carts and hurrying forward.
At Chen Xiang's prompting, everyone looked around at the sound, and when they saw more and more passersby, they all looked at each other excitedly.
"Everyone, please hurry up and get into the city as soon as possible." Old Mrs. Zhu said excitedly, her voice choked with emotion, after seeing hope just ahead.
Encouraged by Grandma Zhu, everyone was instantly filled with confidence and quickened their pace toward the city gate.
Just as the group was about to reach the city gate, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out from behind them.
"Stop them!"
At a command, bandits on horseback quickly surrounded the Zhu family.
