"I don't know either! But don't be afraid, you must believe that our eldest sister will definitely come to save us!"
Although the conversation outside was intermittent, Han Luoyu heard it.
She knew those people had arrested her to threaten her older sister, so she wouldn't have to run so far. Han Luoyu didn't know where she was being taken, but she had to stay calm and comfort her younger brother, otherwise...
"Sister, Sister Xue'er will definitely come to save us, right?"
Doctor Xu's grandson was also flustered at this moment; after all, he was still just a child.
"Don't worry, our eldest sister will definitely come back to save us!"
The three little ones huddled together, with the other two nestled in Han Luoyu's arms. It was a bit chilly outside, but the huddled-together arrangement kept them warm.
Soon, a rich aroma of meat reached my nose.
The little ones swallowed hard. They had only managed to fill their stomachs along the way; in fact, they were mostly hungry. These people were rough and afraid that they would need to relieve themselves on the road.
"Hey, Xu Da, you're pretty good! You actually caught a rabbit!"
Looking at the rabbit roasted to a golden brown on the flames, the men couldn't help but swallow hard.
They haven't eaten meat for days, they're starving!
"Alright, everyone, eat well in a bit. There's not much road left now, we need to get there as quickly as possible, His Highness is waiting for us!"
"These little ones must not be harmed. His Highness said that they are a powerful tool to restrain Ouyang Zhen."
The men were still unwilling to give up. If they, as grown men, had been on the road, they would have arrived long ago. It was all because of these little ones that they were delayed.
Han Mengze secretly started to cry. Han Luoyu patted her back and comforted her, "It's okay, don't cry. Trust Sister Injection, she will definitely come to save us!"
"Second sister, does eldest sister know where we are?"
They were taken away in Yancheng, and it's been almost a month now. They don't even know where they are now.
These words made everyone's hearts sink. They had left some marks along the way, but what did those marks mean? In this desolate wilderness, when would those marks disappear?
"Sigh, if only the tiger were with us!" Han Mengze sighed. She remembered that she and the little tiger used to have a good relationship, but they were too far apart, and the tiger couldn't sense her presence.
Han Luoyu's eyes also dimmed. She was still too weak and couldn't compare to her eldest sister. If it were her eldest sister, she would definitely find a way to save herself instead of going to some unknown place with them.
Although she didn't know where she would be taken, she knew that if she was taken there, it would be even more difficult to escape.
She looked around at the dense jungle; there might be wild beasts nearby, but it was the best place to escape. It was just a pity she had no strength left. If only she had a silver needle…
Silver needles? Han Luoyu's eyes suddenly lit up. Their hair was tied up. Although hairpins were not as good as silver needles, they would still be effective if used with a little force.
However, those people are still eating, and it's getting late, so I'm sure they'll fall asleep soon.
At first, some of them kept watch at night, but after running for nearly a month, everyone was exhausted. In addition, their hands were tied and they had been drugged, so the people believed that the children couldn't cause any trouble.
Han Luoyu winked at the two little ones: "Let's sleep for a while, and then we'll figure out how to leave here later!"
Although the two little ones were puzzled, they still nodded obediently.
Soon, the people outside threw them three steamed buns, one for each of them, and only then were their hands untied.
Deep marks were visible on their wrists, some even chafed raw and bleeding. Normally, the children would have cried, but now, in someone else's hands, they dared not utter a single word.
"You all better behave and listen to me! Otherwise..."
The man said fiercely, and the three little ones obediently picked up the steamed buns and wolfed them down. One steamed bun was their food for the whole day. In these people's eyes, as long as they didn't starve to death, that was enough.
The night was deep and quiet, and all was still.
Han Luoyu was the first to open her eyes. Her wrists were bound again. A little moonlight shone in from outside, illuminating the surroundings. Although it was not clear, you could still make out the general shape of the shadows.
The two little ones were still sleeping, and the snoring of the men could be heard from not far away.
Han Luoyu quietly got up and kicked the two little ones with her feet.
"Mengze, let me help you untie the rope first!" Han Luoyu said softly. She turned her back and groped with difficulty. She didn't know how much time had passed, but the two little ones' foreheads were already covered with sweat. Finally, the rope was untied.
Han Mengze didn't delay and quickly helped his sister untie herself, and then Xu Shen.
Han Luoyu quietly ran outside. She remembered that there was a kind of wild grass outside that, when added to a fire, could make people fall asleep.
She hurried over and pulled up a lot of weeds, throwing them all into the fire.
The grass that had just been pulled up couldn't burn and even emitted smoke, but the smoke wasn't pungent. The three little ones covered their noses and quietly ran into the mountains.
They walked very quietly, afraid of waking the people.
They didn't dare stop along the way, and they didn't know how long they had been running. The three little ones were panting heavily as dawn broke.
"Sister, I can't take it anymore!"
They only ate one steamed bun last night, and after running around all night, it's mostly digested.
"Me too!" Xu Shen also touched his stomach, panting heavily.
Han Luoyu wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, turned her head and looked around, and found that she was surrounded by dense forest.
"Hang in there a little longer. I've brought their food as well. We need to find a cave to rest in and wait for rescue."
"It would be best to find a secluded cave, otherwise they'll easily discover us. We can't keep up with their pace! You two don't want to be caught again, do you?"
The little ones were so frightened that they shook their heads immediately; they didn't want to be taken back at all.
"Can we just hide in the cave and wait? Will my sister come looking for me?" Han Mengze still couldn't believe it; maybe his sister didn't even know where he was.
"Don't worry, our eldest sister is so smart, she'll definitely find us!"
Han Luoyu gritted her teeth, "No matter what, we can't become a burden to our sister!"
The two little ones nodded again. Their older sister was so good; they didn't want to be a burden to her.
"If only I had a tiger cub with me!" Han Mengze exclaimed. If he had a tiger with him, it would surely devour those people! And with a tiger by his side, he wouldn't starve even if he stayed in the mountains for a year!
The poor little tiger became Han Mengze's hired hand!
