Elisha's father stopped what he was doing.
He turned and stared at the two men in black robes.
The first thing that came to his mind was what the village chief had said not long ago.
......
"We must stick together. I'm afraid the days ahead will be very difficult."
"I'm afraid there will be more bandits and people without food and water."
"If you encounter difficulties, you must help each other..."
......
Elisha was chasing after his father at this time, and he originally intended to stop his father from killing the doe.
He knew that his father, who always obeyed the laws of Hebron, would be unable to sleep or eat well if he really killed the deer.
He also knew that his father chose to do this for the family's livelihood.
But he felt that he could use starvation to reduce food consumption and keep the doe alive.
"Father!"
When Elisha saw his father's back, he also saw two dark shadows standing upright not far from his house.
"Ah! Father! There's someone there!"
At this moment, Elisha felt a loud buzzing in his head. After all, he had also heard what the village chief said to them today.
Not only that, there had been robbers in the village before.
No matter what, Elisha knew very well that these two men in black robes were most likely up to something bad!
Moreover, not to mention that the other party appeared at night.
“Elisha, go!”
The father just held the axe in his hand, tilted his head slightly, and asked his son to go back home and report the news.
His father just kept his eyes focused on the two men in black robes.
Elisha rushed into the house at this time and almost knocked over the dough his mother had just kneaded.
“Elisha!”
"Watch the road!"
Elisha's mother didn't care whether her husband had killed the deer or not. She just wanted to quickly make food that could be carried away with the remaining flour in the house.
In her opinion, she felt that the village might not be safe for some time to come.
so......
"This food is for your aunt. If it's knocked over, we won't be able to go to your aunt."
Apparently, Elisha's mother had made up her mind and planned to move the family in with her aunt.
There was the border of the Hebrew Empire, and by crossing a valley they would be close to the territory of the Philistines.
Of course, Elisha's mother did not know that the Philistine territory was no longer part of the Hebrew Empire.
"Mother!"
"Someone strange is approaching our house!"
"Father is holding an axe to stop them. Where is my sister now?"
As soon as Elisha said this, his mother's face turned pale.
She simply wiped off the remaining flour on her hands with linen cloth at lightning speed, and then picked up Elisha.
Elisha wanted to protest, but was shocked by the determination in his mother's eyes.
"Mother?"
Elisha's sister had just returned to the house after hearing Elisha's call. As soon as she poked her head out, she was grabbed by their mother.
Then, he was locked in a room.
"Elisha! Don't make any noise!"
"There is food and water inside. If I don't call your name, you must not open the door!"
"No matter who knocks, don't open the door!"
After saying this, Elisha’s mother’s voice disappeared.
Elisha and his sister looked at each other, they were just watching through the crack in the doorway.
But they could see nothing.
There was a slight burnt smell here, and Elisha guessed that it must be the food his mother had baked today that was put in there.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a muffled sound made Elisha tremble all over.
Two burly men rushed in, and the one-eyed man in the lead seemed to be rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something.
Elisha looked through the crack in the door and saw that their feet were covered in mud.
The mud has dried.
Obviously, the other party had been out when the rainstorm came.
And that did not match the clothing of the two men in black robes that Elisha had just seen.
The two men in black robes had very clean cloth on their bodies, without even a trace of mud or dust.
"Sister! There are two more robbers!"
"There are four of them?"
Elisha opened his eyes slightly at this time, and his heart was beating fast.
Because he knew very well that it would be difficult to stop the attack of the four opponents with just his parents.
Father and mother...
Might die!
"What are you doing! Elisha!"
Elisha's sister shouted under her breath.
"Mother said, let us stay here!"
"If you go out and get caught by robbers, what will happen to your father and mother?"
But Elisha didn't want to listen to his sister.
"No! Sister!"
"I'm very flexible and I can run very fast. I can help my father attract one or two robbers!"
As Elisha spoke, he reached out towards the locked door.
But Elisha's sister simply hugged him and pressed him against the wall.
"What Mother asked me to do is to protect you, Elisha!"
"I will never let you out!"
Elisha tried his best, but he found that he could not shake his sister's strength at all.
