Chapter 282 Little Dumpling's words seemed like a dream
Xiaotuanzi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the alliance between these bad guys was so strong.
She couldn't just give up like that. After thinking it over, she stamped her feet anxiously, "Aunt, why don't you understand?"
"I don't understand?" The woman sneered. She didn't expect that this little girl was so cunning.
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover. This little kid looks soft and well-behaved, but I didn’t expect him to be so smart.
"Yes, aunt, think about it, all the orders you have done in the past combined are not as big as mine." Li Suining blinked sincerely.
This was her guess. To kill a princess, the reward must be a lot of silver.
Sure enough, the woman nodded thoughtfully, "Your little head is indeed the most valuable, but so what?"
"Your friend is counting on this job to lead a good life." Li Suining thought about what Xingxing had told her and continued, "Aunt, believe me, tomorrow your friend will definitely say I'm not a princess, but it wasn't easy for her to adopt me."
She gritted her teeth and said confidently, "Your friend will say she wants to take me away and kill me, but she actually wants to take me back to the palace and collect the reward."
The woman's expression changed, and she obviously really began to believe what Xiaotuanzi said.
"Okay!" She finally nodded. "If my friend comes tomorrow and really wants to take you away as you said, then I'll believe you."
"But..." The woman felt something was wrong again. "Since you are sure my friend will save you, why are you telling me all this? You can just wait for her to come and save you tomorrow."
The little girl shook her head quickly, "I said, I like my aunt, and..."
"Friends are important to children. I can't let you kill my friends." Obviously, she was referring to the real Huo Linger.
"Okay!" The woman had stayed outside for too long, and the man in the house was suspicious. If she didn't go back, she would be in trouble.
She squatted in front of Li Suining and promised her seriously, "If what you said is true, I will save you and your friends, but you also have to promise that I won't be killed by that man, and... give me a thousand gold!"
"It's a deal!" Little Dumpling agreed readily. Huo Linger had plenty of money anyway, one thousand gold coins, so Huo Linger didn't care.
The woman quickly sent the little dumpling back.
"How is it?" Huo Linger asked anxiously as soon as the door of the woodshed was closed.
Just now, Xiaotuanzi had told her the whole plan.
The little girl nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, she promised me that as long as her friend wants to take me away, she will save us."
"But..." Huo Ling'er was obviously worried, "What if her friend doesn't want to take you away? What should we do then?"
"Don't worry." Little Tuanzi was very sure and continued to instruct, "Listen carefully. Tomorrow, after you leave the yard, run to the left. You will definitely get out and meet people who come to rescue us."
Huo Linger frowned, "The people who saved us? Bai Kou and the others?"
Li Suining shook her head. She did not see Bai Kou and her second brother and the others. Judging from their clothes, they looked like soldiers. It was probably that they had sought help from the local government.
"No, it should be officers and soldiers. Anyway, just do as I say." The little dumpling nodded with high morale.
"Okay!" Huo Linger didn't say anything, but she always felt uneasy. She felt that everything Xiaotuanzi said was not reliable, like... talking in a dream.
After all, Xiaotuanzi was trapped here with her, with no chance of contacting people outside, let alone knowing the situation outside.
So how did the little girl know that soldiers were searching the mountain? Or even where they were?
She thought it was too ridiculous, but looking at the little girl's expression, she couldn't bear to expose him in person, so she could only take it one step at a time.
Huo Linger knew that perhaps, when the palace maid came tomorrow, she would die.
She couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"Then let's rest early, and you should get some sleep too. We can go back tomorrow." Seeing that Huo Linger hadn't spoken, the little girl thought about resting early to save her energy.
"Well, go to sleep!" Huo Ling'er nodded and said with a wry smile, "This is my first time sleeping on the floor. Today, there are too many firsts for me."
The little dumpling rolled his eyes and ran to the pile of firewood next to him and sat down.
She adjusted herself to a comfortable sitting position and waved happily at Huo Ling'er, "Miss, come and lie down, using my legs as a pillow. This way you will be more comfortable, otherwise you might not be able to sleep."
Huo Linger stayed there without moving for a while, and said hoarsely, "No need."
They are obviously about the same age, but this little sister has experienced much more than her.
"Miss, it's really okay with me. I used to sleep in places like this often, so I can fall asleep quickly no matter where I am or what position I'm in."
Li Suining looked proud. "I'm awesome, right? Miss, you can't compare to me in this regard. You're a princess, so you've definitely never suffered this kind of hardship. Come here!"
Huo Linger stood up and walked over, but instead of lying on Xiaotuanzi's lap, she sat next to her, leaning close to her.
"In a place like this, there's no such thing as princesses or ladies. We're all the same." She adjusted herself to a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and felt her nose sore. "Okay, that's good. Go to sleep too!"
"Well! Sweet dreams, miss. We can go home tomorrow!" Little Dumpling also closed his eyes happily.
She was really happy. Huo Ling'er was indeed a good princess. She became more determined to save Huo Ling'er and help her reunite with her sixth brother.
Tomorrow, Huo Ling'er will definitely be able to escape successfully. If she...
Little Tuanzi clenched her hands nervously. Was she going to get beaten up? Or was it possible that the man would kill her in a fit of rage?
She was actually a little scared, afraid that she wouldn't be able to go home, that she would never see her father, her two mothers, or her brothers again...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help shedding tears, but was afraid that Huo Linger would find out, so she quickly wiped them away with her little hands.
"Li Suining, don't be afraid! You are a lucky star, you will definitely be able to return alive!"
The little girl closed her eyes and kept encouraging herself.
On the other side, after the woman returned, she did not lie down immediately, but sat by the kang for a while, thinking about whether what Xiaotuanzi said was true or false.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?" A man's voice suddenly rang out in the darkness, sounding particularly creepy.
"I'm going to sleep right away, right away!" The woman was so scared that she broke out in a sweat and quickly crawled into the man's bed.
"Are you scared?" The man asked in a low voice, his hands starting to become dishonest.
The woman hummed softly, "After all, the person we're going to kill this time is of a different status, and I'm a little uneasy. What do you think if they don't pay us when the time comes?"
