Liu Wanjun's father, Prime Minister Liu, sent many people to Qiong Island after nightfall, hoping to find the child in advance and kill him directly. Although he was neutral on the surface, his daughter was the Crown Princess after all, and in the future only someone with Liu family blood could ascend to the throne.

Otherwise, why would he stand in the court so fawningly? It would be better for him to just retire and preserve his reputation after his death. Now his daughter and children are all in trouble. He really wants to kill the second prince's family, which is even more excessive than digging up the Liu family's ancestral graves.

Therefore, Concubine Zhang's child must die, putting Zhou Qingyun, who had been escaping calmly, in danger at all times.

Prime Minister Liu thought that he had finally defeated the Zhang family and was about to reap the fruits of victory, but someone had cut down all his trees. Could he tolerate this? Of course not. The Second Prince and his family must pay the price, and the Empress in the palace must not even think of escaping. They must all die.

Wang Shiyu's family has now left the group of prisoners and is in the mountains. They are not far from the Zhang family's group. They did not meet with other people, but chose to take a more difficult mountain road. There is no food on the mountain now, so it is actually very easy to encounter wild animals.

But wild beasts are purer than human hearts. Now, no matter whether it is a small path or an official road, there are refugees walking on it, which makes the old man feel more and more heavy-hearted. They have to go into the mountains. These days they have witnessed more than one stabbing in the back, which makes their family more and more silent.

Walking in the mountains and forests is more tiring for shoes, and walking is slower than on the official road, but the road is shorter, so they walk faster than Zhang Tao and his group.

Even though we have walked deep into the mountains, there is no sense of coolness. The mountains are covered with fallen leaves. Now, if we look up, we can see the sun above our heads and the dead trees around us.

The situation is urgent. They must speed up and leave here quickly, otherwise even if they hide in the mountains, they will be caught by those people.

As Wang Shiyu and her family walked, if they saw a big tree that was easy to handle, they would just knock it down and cut it into pieces and let her put it away. Because the weather was unusually hot and they were worried about a sudden change in the weather later, they had to keep some in reserve. This was decided by the old man, because as the old saying goes, after a severe drought, there will be a severe flood.

It is still necessary to make decisions in advance to prepare for a rainy day.

Their family was quite lucky and had never encountered any wild beasts. Wang Shiyu discussed with the old man and took out five hatchets and a machete that they had bought before, one for each of them. When something happened, Wang Shiyu and Wang Shiyi asked Xiaoyu to take Xiaoyi to move closer to them. No matter what, they had to protect the children at home. You know, they were their only child, and if anything happened to any of them, they would go crazy.

The few of them have rehearsed several times. Wang Shiyi has always listened to her sister Wang Shiyu, who is even more effective than her second uncle and second aunt. Since they entered the mountains, Wang Shiyu is no longer as afraid to give Xiaoyi anything to eat as before. When she has nothing to do, she will stuff candies or cakes, as well as all kinds of delicious food, into Xiaoyi's mouth.

All the adults in the family pretended not to see anything. Sometimes it was difficult for them to pretend not to smell the fragrance from Xiaoyi's mouth. They also understood why she had not given Xiaoyi food some time ago. If this smell had come out of Xiaoyi's mouth some time ago, their whole family would have been skinned and eaten by those people.

On the fourth day of walking in the mountains, they encountered a skinny leopard. The old man drew out the big knife on his waist and confronted the leopard. The leopard looked quite miserable. Not only was it dirty, but it was also skinny and bony. It was too miserable.

When the leopard saw this rare food, it naturally didn't want to let it go. Whether it could defeat these humans was no longer within its consideration.

The old man made a fancy move with his sword, and he looked like a martial artist. The two brothers protected their mother, wife and children and retreated to avoid delaying their father's performance. You know, his father could kill a tiger easily, so a hungry, skinny leopard was no match for the old man.

The old man was really good at kung fu. In just two rounds, he chopped down the leopard with his sword. Mo Ruru and Zhou Guichun covered the eyes of the two children to prevent them from seeing such a bloody scene.

Because when the old man took action, he was careful not to scratch the leopard's skin, and just killed it with a direct blow at the neck.

The old man peeled off the leopard's skin directly with a knife. There was no way to nitrate it now, so he could only wipe off the blood stains with soil, wipe the dirt on the fur back and forth with dry leaves, and carefully scrape off the fat connected to the skin with a knife. He put it aside, intending to put it in his granddaughter's treasure land later.

The leopard meat was not wasted. It was cut into pieces and then roasted in an open place. Fortunately, they had all the seasonings and the roasted meat was very fragrant.

Because of hunger and thirst, the leopard decomposed more than 20 kilograms of meat, and buried the remaining bones and internal organs in the soil, as if adding nutrients to the trees.

The old man only asked Wang Shiyu to put away the leopard skin, but did not let her put away the roasted meat. He planned to cook it for the next two days and eat it all directly. This thing cannot be stored.

Even though they had dried a lot of meat over charcoal last night, they couldn't keep it for too long. This stuff has a fragrance. Even though they were walking in the mountains now, they still had to pay attention to safety. If someone smelled the scent of meat on them, it would be like opening the door to the King of Hell at night, and the King of Hell would have arrived home.

In fact, leopard meat is not delicious. There is a lot of fiber in the leopard, and it is actually very difficult to chew. What my aunt ate was not the meat in the buns, but the softer food that Wang Shiyu specially prepared for her.

The old man watched the bonfire at night, and on the fire was roasting the leopard meat they had harvested yesterday. Although the leopard meat was very lean, it was also fatty. As the high temperature roasted, the fat in the meat began to sizzle and slowly ooze out.

The smell was so delicious that it made them, who hadn't eaten meat properly for nearly half a month, very greedy. After the family finished roasting the meat and put out the fire, they climbed up the tree and started to rest after eating.

Yes, they have started sleeping in the trees now. They no longer dare to sleep under the trees. Although they did not encounter any large wild beasts along the way, there are many small wild beasts, not to mention snakes, insects, rats and ants, which attack humans like crazy.

When the snake saw them, it bit them directly, as if it wanted to eat them all. It was very scary. You should know that if you don't touch a snake, it usually won't bother with you, and may even avoid you.

But in the past two days they have been like crazy, not only attacking humans crazily, but also joining forces with birds. The birds peck people, the snakes bite people, and the rats can't wait to bite you directly to let you see how powerful they are.

Even the old man, who had some martial arts skills, was exhausted from dealing with it and decided to avoid the attack for the time being. Only one day after killing the leopard, they encountered three little wild boars, seven highly poisonous snakes, more than a dozen non-poisonous snakes, and no less than fifty mice and sparrows, all of whom were like crazy.
