Chapter 289 They Sent Themselves into the Wolf's Den
Xiaotuanzi and Huo Ling'er finally waited until dark.
"I'm going out to look at the stars." Li Suining had been unable to sit still for a long time. In fact, ever since the officials from the government office didn't show up, she felt particularly uneasy, as if something dangerous was about to happen.
"I'm going too." Huo Linger is particularly attached to Xiaotuanzi now and doesn't want to be separated from her for a moment.
The two little guys ran to the yard hand in hand. It was very quiet around them, without any sound at all.
Huo Linger was a little absent-minded. She didn't like looking at the stars, but when she turned around, she saw Xiaotuanzi looking at the stars with a very serious expression.
Her mind moved slightly, and she also raised her little head to look at the stars, and asked curiously, "I heard that there is a saying in Dajin that after people die, they will turn into stars in the sky. Do you think it is possible?"
Li Suining didn't say anything. The scene she saw at that moment made her feel as if she was falling into an icy cave.
She originally thought that she and Huo Linger would be safe once they arrived at the government office, but she didn't expect that they were sending themselves into a wolf's den.
What's more, what Li Suining didn't expect the most was that the government office was actually connected with that killer man.
"I'm talking to you." Huo Linger waited for a long time, but saw no response from the little girl, so she shook her hand unhappily.
"Hmm?" Little Dumpling withdrew his thoughts and asked Huo Ling'er while thinking about what they should do, "What did you say?"
"The stars are so beautiful? You don't even listen to me." Huo Ling'er was a little unhappy, but she still repeated it patiently, "I heard from others that there is a saying in Dajin that people turn into stars after they die. Do you think... is it possible?"
She paused, her voice choking with sobs, "Will Father also turn into a star and watch over me from the sky?"
Little Tuanzi quickly thought of a solution.
She heard Huo Ling'er's words and knew that the princess was wronged. "Yes, you can find it. The most beautiful star must be your father."
"Really?" Huo Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly pointed at a star and said excitedly, "It must be that star. That star is so beautiful, and it even winked at me."
"Yeah, that's for sure." Little Dumpling yawned, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."
"Ah?" Huo Ling'er was a little reluctant at this moment, "Can't we watch it for a while longer? It's still early."
"Let's go back." Little Tuanzi pulled Huo Ling'er and walked back.
Huo Ling'er pouted in dissatisfaction, "You little brat are even more willful than me."
After entering the house and closing the door, Xiaotuanzi immediately made a hushing gesture to Huo Linger.
"What's wrong?" Huo Ling'er's face immediately changed with fear, and she lowered her voice and asked, "What happened?"
"Miss, it's not safe here. We have to run quickly." Little Dumpling said as she ran to the back of the room. She carefully opened the window and moved the chairs under the window.
"Miss, let's jump out of the window first." She waved her little hand at Huo Linger.
"Okay!" Huo Ling'er climbed onto the chair swiftly. Suddenly remembering something, she jumped down again. "Little Dumpling, you go first. I'll help you."
She is a little older than Xiaotuanzi, and she is a barbarian after all, so her physical fitness is much better than Xiaotuanzi.
This is when she could really help.
"Okay! Thank you, Miss!" Little Dumpling was a little worried at first, but when he heard that, he happily curled his eyes at Huo Ling'er.
Huo Linger chuckled, "Don't call me Miss anymore."
"Huh?" The little girl, who was about to climb onto the chair, turned around and looked over in confusion.
"I'm older than you, you should call me sister." Huo Ling'er walked forward with a proud look on her face. She held up the little dumpling's butt and said, "Hurry, let me help you!"
"Thank you, sister!" Li Suining was so happy that she felt that she had finally taken a step closer to Huo Linger.
Although she still couldn't be sure what would happen next, at least she had more confidence.
The two little guys worked hard together, and finally the little dumpling successfully climbed over the rear window and sat down on the ground outside.
The little girl's butt hurt a little from the fall, and she cried in pain.
Huo Linger looked down at the window and said, "Little Dumpling, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Li Suining raised her head, with tears in her big eyes, and shook her head crying.
Huo Linger couldn't help but curl her lips, and she quickly climbed over the window and hurried to help Xiaotuanzi, "Get up, let's go, where are we going?"
Little Dumpling stood up, rubbed his butt vigorously, and looked at Huo Ling'er with a guilty look, "We have to look for... a dog hole."
"What?" Huo Ling'er was shocked. "You...you want me to crawl through a dog hole?"
Little Dumpling knew that Princess Sister was unwilling, so she quickly grabbed her arm and started to discuss, "Sister, if we want to sneak out, we can only go through the dog hole."
"But..." Huo Ling'er still looked reluctant, "If it's not safe here, aren't those soldiers safe too? Besides..."
She couldn't help but wonder, "How do you know it's unsafe?"
Little Dumpling sighed, "Sister, I won't lie to you. The officials here... are in cahoots with that killer. If we don't leave, the killer and Sakurako will come and kill us."
"How is this possible?" Huo Linger couldn't believe it.
"Let's get out of here quickly." Little Tuanzi didn't say anything, grabbed Huo Linger's hand and ran quickly to look for a dog hole around the wall.
Although Huo Linger still found it unbelievable, she still followed Xiaotuanzi obediently.
Soon, they found a dog hole.
The little girl immediately knelt down and began to crawl out, "Princess sister, you have to follow me."
As she spoke, she really started to crawl out quickly using all four limbs like a puppy.
Halfway up the mountain, she looked back and urged Huo Linger, "Princess sister, hurry up and follow me."
"Okay, okay, I get it." Huo Linger had no choice but to imitate Xiaotuanzi and crawl out with him.
When she crawled to the entrance of the dog hole, she couldn't help but say, "I'm probably the first princess in the Northern Barbarians to crawl through a dog hole. How embarrassing."
At this time, Xiaotuanzi had successfully climbed out. She stood up and cheered Huo Linger, "Hurry up, Princess Sister, hurry up, climb out, we will be safe."
"I understand. Don't rush me." Huo Linger crawled out reluctantly.
Finally getting outside, she stood up and wanted to complain again, but she saw the little dumpling making a hushing gesture.
Why are you not allowed to speak again?
Huo Linger was a little angry, and then she saw the little girl pointing in a direction not far away.
Huo Linger turned her head in confusion, and in an instant, her eyes widened in shock.
She was just about to pull the little girl and run away, but she suddenly saw something clearly and her expression became more angry.
