Chapter 117 Escape

She took the bag she carried with her, which only contained a few pieces of Xiaomu and Xixi's clothes, and some daily gadgets. Most of the things were in the car.

But the car key was with Shi Qi, and he couldn't drive away without the key.

"Be quiet," Ye Li tied the sheet and blanket together, then helped Xiaomu's waist and slowly lowered him down from the window.

Fortunately, this building is only two stories high, not too high, otherwise such behavior would be really dangerous.

"Mom, I'm scared," Xixi said with fear in her tone.

"Don't be afraid, brother has gone down. Brother will protect Xixi. Be good, Xixi." Ye Li hugged his daughter and comforted her, reaching out to wipe the tears from her little face.

"Yeah," Xixi nodded sensibly.

Ye Li tied up Xixi and slowly let her down. After the two children landed successfully.

Ye Li put on the bag, tied the other end of the blanket to the head of the bed, then pulled the sheet and slid straight down from the second-floor window.

"Mom," Xiaomu and Xixi immediately came over and called out softly.

"Shh, don't make noise," Ye Li made a gesture to silence them, and she ran into the woods with Xiaomu and Xixi.

This is the best route. It is impossible to drive in the forest and it is easy to get lost. Even if Shi Qi and the others find that he and his children are missing, they will not be able to find them quickly.

"Wait," Ye Li seemed to have thought of something when they ran into the woods. She asked Xiaomu to take Xixi to hide in the bushes nearby, and she ran back to the parking lot to get something.

One of the vehicles was a small truck, with the food stored in her storage room and a cloth bag of seeds she had packed before leaving.

As for the other things, they were in the trunk of another car. She couldn't open the trunk without a key, so she could only take the seeds in the cloth bag.

"Let's go." Ye Li took the seeds and quickly ran back to his son and daughter, holding their hands and heading into the woods.

At night, the forest was very dark and Ye Li and his friends only had a small flashlight.

Xiaomu held the flashlight in his hand, and relying on this little bit of light, they ran deeper into the forest...

The farther you run, the safer you are.

"Mom, I can't run anymore!" Xixi gasped for breath. No matter how Ye Li pulled her, she couldn't run anymore.

Ye Li looked around with the faint light of the flashlight. They had run very far. The trees in the forest when they first came in were not very big, but now, the trunks of the trees were thick and it was obvious that they were more than a hundred years old.

"Then let's take a rest." Ye Li found a relatively flat place to lie down, spread the last blanket on the ground, and the mother and her two children sat down, huddled together.

It's early summer now and the weather is not too cold, so it's okay not to cover yourself with a blanket.

"Mom," Xixi leaned close to Ye Li and asked softly, "Are there any wild animals in the forest? In the cartoons my brother and I watched, there were so many wild animals in the forest. Will they run out and eat us?"

"No," Ye Li touched her head and said, "Beasts also need to sleep. They would have fallen asleep by now."

"That's good," Xixi seemed to be relieved, tilted her head, and fell asleep in a daze on Ye Li's arm.

Xiaomu was also tired from running. Unlike Xixi, he was not scared and fell asleep with his head resting on Ye Li's arm.

Ye Li held the two babies in her arms, leaning against a tree trunk. She stayed awake all night, staring intently until dawn.
