When the people from the second house were making chicken soup, Xiao Qinghe went to help. Aunt Bai held the chicken soup and fed Xiao Qingyu one spoonful at a time.
Xiao Qingyu was just swallowing mechanically, with no expression on his face.
Looking at Xiao Qingyu's current appearance, everyone in the second house felt filled with guilt.
After all, at that time, no one went out to save her.
If they come forward to stop you, even if it causes panic, hold on for another quarter of an hour.
The tragedy would not have happened. As long as the imperial court arrived, the bandits in Langya Mountain would not dare to do evil deeds openly.
But at the beginning, who could have thought that officials from the imperial court would come.
They all thought that if they went up to stop them now, the Langya Mountain bandits would chop them down with their swords.
Everyone is trying to protect themselves and not want to get into trouble at this time and put themselves in a dangerous situation.
But it was too late to say anything now. After Xiao Qingyu finished drinking the chicken soup, Aunt Bai helped her to sleep in the cave.
No matter what Aunt Bai did to him, Xiao Qingyu remained quiet and obedient, without struggling at all.
But when Xiao Bin and his two brothers got close, his reaction became very intense.
Everyone knows that this may be because of the shadow brought to her by the bandits in Langya Mountain.
Therefore, the male members of the second house consciously stayed away from Xiao Qingyu, as they did not want to provoke her.
In the mountains and forests on the other side, the tall and dense trees could not block the sun's rays.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue held wooden sticks in their hands and struggled to make their way through the forest.
As Mu Ruxue walked, she used a wooden stick to poke the grass, fearing that a snake would come out of it.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue, both best friends, have a natural fear of snakes, so when they heard there were snakes in the woods, they would take sticks and beat them all the way.
Although they had only been walking for the whole morning, Yun Ruoxi could already feel blisters on the soles of her feet.
Sure enough, people's lives cannot be too comfortable. Since the beginning of exile, they have been sitting in carriages and rarely have the opportunity to walk.
It’s fine now. I’ve only been walking for half the morning and my planks are already burning with pain.
Mu Ruxue raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. "Xixi, how long do you think we'll be walking in this forest? When will we be able to get out?"
Yun Ruoxi shook her head slightly. "It's hard to say, but judging by the terrain on the map and the years of experience of Wei Da and the other nine brothers, it would probably take five days just to cross this mountain."
Mu Ruxue suddenly wailed, "Oh my God, it takes five days to walk up this mountain alone, and there are so many more mountains behind. I feel like I won't live long."
Before Yun Ruoxi could comfort her, Xiao Jingxuan followed from behind and said, "If Madam can't walk anymore, I can carry you on my back."
Mu Ruxue just complained that this was not just a 100-meter walk, but there were 4 or 5 mountains in a row, and there would be many days before she could walk again.
They had just walked such a short distance and had to be carried on someone's back. Even if Xiao Jingxuan had martial arts skills, he couldn't endure it.
"That's not necessary. I can still hold on. I just regret that my martial arts skills are not very good. Otherwise, I would be as light as a swallow and run faster than a tiger."
Sometimes, what you say really comes true.
As soon as Mu Ruxue finished speaking, a tiger roar was heard from the forest, and everyone became alert instantly.
Village chief Li hurriedly held his little granddaughter in his arms. The nine brothers surrounded everyone in the middle, and the men who knew martial arts stood on the periphery.
The people being protected are not only Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue, two close friends, but also Village Chief Li and his family of six.
Xiao Jingrui, holding a pistol in his hand, hurriedly lay on the ground and listened for sounds with his ears.
After a while, he climbed up and shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and get on the tree! Hurry!"
Everyone knows that Village Chief Li's family does not know martial arts, so the five brothers of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion immediately took one person with them and flew directly to the largest tree.
After getting everyone to sit on the branches, they moved on to other trees.
Although Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue know some martial arts, they are not yet at the level of being as light as a swallow and climbing walls.
So the two of them were carried up the tree by brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan.
Just as everyone sat down on the tree, two spotted tigers appeared where they were previously.
Yun Ruoxi took a look and knew that the two tigers were wild, and they were a lot larger than the tigers she had seen in modern times before.
Such tigers are not only wild, but also extremely lethal.
No one hesitated for a moment and pulled the trigger immediately.
Everyone was in different positions, holding up their pistols and shooting at the two tigers.
With a series of gunshots, the two tigers were killed before they could attack them.
After everyone came down from the tree, the nine brothers took Village Chief Li and his family and continued on their journey.
The five brothers of the Duke of Ying stayed behind to put the bodies of the two tigers into the space ring, and cleaned up the bloodstains left by the tigers to avoid attracting other wild animals.
Only after doing all this did we catch up with the main force.
Village chief Li's family knew what to listen to and what not to listen to. They saw that the Xiao family was not afraid at all when facing two big tigers, and the hidden weapons in their hands were so powerful.
Village chief Li saw it clearly from the tree. Basically, as long as the hidden weapon hit the tiger's vitals, there would be no need to use so many bullets.
The reason so many people fired at the same time was just to be on the safe side. If a tiger had avoided the attack and climbed directly up the tree, everyone would have been killed.
Ordinary people don’t know that tigers can climb trees, but Village Chief Li had seen it with his own eyes before, so he was deeply impressed by it.
When the tigers appeared just now, Village Chief Li wanted to warn them, but before he could open his mouth, the two big tigers had already fallen down.
There was no need for Village Chief Li to remind them.
Even without deciding what to do with the two tiger bodies, everyone continued on their way.
Village chief Li could probably guess that the Xiao family should have their own way of dealing with it.
This is the time to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Including the village head's wife, Li Dazhu and Li Dazhu's wife, they all lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.
Only the two little grandsons asked curiously, but were quickly covered their mouths by Village Chief Li and his wife.
I remind you again and again not to be curious about the Xiao family's affairs, not to ask, not to look, and even more not to think about finding out their secrets.
The Xiao family is not only their family's benefactor, but now they are traveling in the deep mountains and have to rely on the Xiao family for care on the road.
