Xiao Youran's eyes widened. "Cousin Tiankuang, you really did inherit your great-uncle's true skills!"

Yun Tiankuang rubbed his nose. "Cousin, you flatter me. If you're so capable, how can we not strive to catch up?"

Madam Yun pondered for a moment and said, "The reason they stay here is because there is a noodle factory and food between these two villages. Tian Kuang is right. Even if we drive the Westerners away, they will still wreak havoc on the next village. But if Xiao Bai is the only one who can kill all the Westerners, I'm afraid it's impossible. We can only wait for the Great Zhou army to return and eliminate or capture them."

Xiao Youran looked towards the direction of the cave where they had originally hidden, "What if... we lure them all into that cave and starve them for ten days or half a month?"

Yun Laoqi's eyes lit up. "You have a solution?"

Xiao Youran nodded, "We're hiding in the woods now, and they'll definitely search the cave and the pit. They were scared away by Xiaobai today, and they'll definitely search the cave tomorrow. If we can put some valuables in the cave beforehand, they'll move them... Then we can seal the entrance..."

Da Shan then squeezed in and said, "The idea is good, but what valuable things do we have to put in the cave to attract them? Besides, the cave entrance isn't something we can just block up."

Yun Laoqi gritted his teeth, "If we can lure them into the cave, we might as well set it on fire! These Western barbarians even massacred and burned down the entire Sun Family Village. They've killed countless people along the way! If we can burn them down, it will be avenging for those innocent people of the Great Zhou who died! If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze!"

"That's true! We should lead them into the cave first."

"What valuable things should we put here? Chieftain, we can't just take out the little bit of silver we hid on our bodies when we fled, can we? It's not much money, how can it attract the Western barbarian soldiers?"

Xiao Youran looked around before slowly saying, "Clan leader, I have a plan. Our Gai Gang members are short and not easily noticed, so we can go there. However... we also need to bring back some pots and pans from that big pit, otherwise, what will we hundreds of people eat and drink in this forest?"

Upon hearing this, Stone, Little Mountain, and Four-Wa immediately gathered around excitedly. "I'm a veteran of the Gai Gang! I can go with the gang leader!"

"I'm a member of the Gai Gang too! I'm even smaller! I want to go too!"

"Wow! Wow!"

Several parents in the mountains pulled their children back inside, saying, "It's dangerous! What are you doing getting involved?"

Yun Tiankuang said, "Those Westerners were scared away by Xiaobai and won't be coming up the mountain for a while. Why don't we hurry back?"

"Yes, yes! Even if we can hunt and eat, we can't do without a pot! We can't eat the meat that's been roasted!"

Some of the older women had already rolled up their sleeves to move the big pot, saying, "I can't eat without Xiaoyou Ran's Maoxuewang!"

Xiao You Ran: ……

Ah, this isn't my Mao Xue Wang!

Having no other choice, Yun Laoqi could only nod and say, "You few strong young men, accompany Xiao Youran on this trip, and come back quickly!"

Stone and Xiaoshan struggled free from their parents' hands and ran towards Xiao Youran, shouting, "Boss! We want to help too!"

Left with no other choice, Da Shan led a few strong young men and protected the cubs as they slowly made their way out of the forest.

Four-year-old Yun Jiao wanted to go along, clutching the lynx, but Yu Shi pulled her back and held her in her arms, saying, "Don't go and cause trouble. You can't drag your cousin down!"

He could only kick his legs wildly and shout at the fallen lynx, "Little Yellow! You must protect Cousin Youran!"

The lynx turned its head and howled at him twice, its eyes revealing a hint of disdain, as if to say, "Do you need to tell me that?"

Yu's eyes widened as she looked at Li beside her and said, "I think I see it laughing at us?"

Mrs. Li rubbed her eyes. "It seems so. It's like seeing a ghost!"

Madam Yun gave Su a meaningful look.

Someone asked in a low voice, "What method does Xiao Youran have? Could she possibly conjure up a pile of treasure or a pile of food?"

Yun Laoqi immediately retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just because she says she has a way doesn't mean she does. Let's think about what to do with all these mosquitoes in the forest!"

On the other side, Xiao Youran led a few kids and quickly disappeared into the cave.

Then……

A moment later, Xiao Youran came out with a few sullen-faced kids.

Just then, Da Shan and his group were carrying some things back to the forest from the pit. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the children come out.

Big Mountain asked, "Stone, Little Mountain, are you all set up? What did you put in?"

Stone's face darkened further, looking like he was constipated.

Xiaoshan glared fiercely at Xiaoyouran, looking angry but unable to speak out.

Da Shan had no choice but to ask Si Wa, and before he could even speak, the children immediately ran away.

This time, they didn't even care about the gang leader; they just abandoned him and left.

Yun Tiankuang followed behind Xiao Youran, his expression also not good, but with a hint of curiosity.

Da Shan became even more curious and asked Xiao Youran directly, "Little benefactor, what exactly did you do to them?"

Xiao You smiled and shook her head, "The Buddha said, it cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken."

Da Shan: ...

With the pots and pans they brought back, the remaining rice and grains, and the few roe deer and rabbits the guards caught in the forest again, everyone finally solved their food problem.

With a large white dog keeping watch at night on the outskirts of the forest, the hundreds of people were able to get a good night's sleep.

When Xiao Youran woke up the next day, she sensed a tense atmosphere.

After asking around, I learned that the Westerners had indeed gone up the mountain to search, and the guards were taking turns keeping watch around the perimeter of the forest, relaying any movements of the Westerners.

The villagers all knew about this, and were inevitably a little panicked, but also a little curious.

The latest news from the guards was that the Westerners had discovered something in the cave where they had been staying, and more and more Western soldiers were pouring into the cave.

The villagers racked their brains trying to figure out what Xiaoyou Ran and the little kids had put in the cave that caused the Western barbarian soldiers to crowd inside and refuse to come out for a long time.

They grabbed Shi Tou and the others and relentlessly interrogated them, but Shi Tou and the others, their faces flushed, stubbornly refused to reveal the truth.

Seeing that Xiao Youran had woken up, the villagers all turned their attention to Old Madam Yun and Madam Su, eagerly hoping that they could find out the truth.

Xiao Youran covered her mouth as soon as she saw it, looking like she would rather die than tell.

Stone and the others breathed a sigh of relief; at least their leader still cared about their dignity.

Yun Tiankuang walked over and said, "Little cousin, the guards sent word that more than 70% of the Westerners have entered that cave. The rest are still on their way up the mountain."

Xiao Youran's eyes sharpened, a murderous intent flashing within them. She stood up and walked outside, but said cutely, "Yes, yes, it's time for baby to make her appearance!"
