Chapter 216 A Dangerous Night
Ye Li was half asleep and half awake. Suddenly, Xiao Wei came over with a pillow and a quilt. Ye Li, who was used to being alert, woke up immediately.
Xiao Wei said shyly, "I can't sleep alone. Can I sleep with you?"
"Okay." Xixi nodded happily.
Ye Li stood up and moved a little, then reached out to take Xiao Wei's pillow and said, "It's better to sleep together. This bed is just big enough to accommodate so many people."
"Thank you." Xiaowei immediately jumped onto the bed and squeezed together with Ye Li.
The two kids slept between the wall and Ye Li, while Xiao Wei slept outside next to Ye Li.
When they were in the temporary tree house, Xiaowei slept in the same room with Ye Li, and at this moment, she didn't feel anything awkward.
Xiao Wei said suspiciously, "Your house is too big and empty. I wouldn't feel safe sleeping alone. If those bad guys come, I'll be scared to death."
"Haha." Ye Li said helplessly, "We are in the center of the forest tribe. There is no way the bad guys can come here. There are so many warriors in the forest patrolling."
"I hope so." Xiao Wei looked around and leaned against Ye Li. "I think your bedroom is still too big. My little room is better. It's small enough for one person to live in and it won't feel too empty."
Ye Li came over and said with a smile, "My two children will feel cramped if we don't build a spacious tree house."
"That's right." Xiaowei thought that when she had children, she would probably have to expand the tree house.
"We'll live here forever," Xiaowei added. "I really like it here. Uncle Yun recently arranged for me to teach everyone how to spin yarn and make cloth, saying that this way everyone will have clothes to wear in the future."
"What? You can also spin yarn and make cloth?" Ye Li asked with bright eyes, "That's not easy."
"My mother taught me, and my sister knew it too, but it's a pity they are both gone." Xiaowei's eyes dimmed as she spoke.
Ye Li reached out and hugged her.
"I'm fine." Xiao Wei forced herself to cheer up. She smiled and said, "I'm doing very well now. I have a good friend like you, and Mr. Xu and the others are also very nice. By the way, Brother Xiao Xun has been away for a few days. When will he come back?"
Xiaowei changed the subject.
"It will take more than half a month for him to come back." Ye Li replied.
"You must miss him."
"I will miss you."
Xiao Wei said enviously, "That's great."
"You will have it in the future." Ye Li recalled the time when they were escaping from the pursuit of the Taya people, when Xiaowei's boyfriend was captured and they were forced to leave.
"I hope so."
As the night deepened, fatigue set in and everyone fell asleep.
The patrol teams in the forest tribe are still patrolling. They must ensure the safety of the people in the forest tribe.
Li Yuan was holding a small bottle of wine, taking a sip from time to time to keep himself warm. Beside him stood Xu Jie, with whom he had become close friends over the past few days.
"Would you like a drink?" Li Yuan asked Xu Jie while holding the wine.
"Okay." Xu Jie took the wine and took a sip. He immediately started coughing violently and returned it to Li Yuan. "I can't drink this wine."
"Haha..." Li Yuan took it back and took another sip. He said, "This is good stuff. When it's cold, I rely on this stuff to stay alive."
"By the way, will those people from the mountaintop tribe come?" Ever since Xu Jie's base camp was attacked by the Taya people, he had been worried and couldn't relax when he heard that the forest tribe would be attacked.
"How would we know? We don't have any spies over there." Li Yuan said, "Just keep watch for now. We can rest after the shift change in the second half of the night."
"Yeah." Xu Jie yawned and found a chair to sit down.
"Ah-woo..." Suddenly, the howling of wolves was heard in the forest.
