Chapter 213 Listen

Xin'er stood up and was pulled back by Ayu.

"What are you doing!"

"Mother, they said it's safe outside. If you go out today, you won't die, but if you go out tomorrow, you will die."

"We have to get out!"

Ah Yu was also a little shaken in her heart, driven by the desire for freedom.

She looked towards Bei Jingchu.

Bei Jingchu shook her head slightly as dim light shone through the reserved ventilation holes.

"The thief is cunning."

"Last time, they fooled us. Now they are leaving just to lure the snake out of its hole."

"You can't go out."

Xin'er's voice was filled with tears: "Then are we going to stay in the cellar for the rest of our lives?"

"We can't hide forever. What if they really let us go this time?"

Bei Jingchu felt a chill in her heart.

[Xin'er's thoughts are about what those who are hiding and still alive think. ]

【Then, today there will be another group of souls killed by the sword. 】

Bei Jingchu bit her own hand, neurotically wanting to feel the pain.

She said, "No, the Dai Viet army will push Thuning back."

Xin'er still cried and said, "How long will it take——"

"What if they don't fight? Do we have to hide forever—"

Bei Jingchu lowered her eyes, [Yes, for ordinary people who don't know the news, they don't know that the Yue Dynasty has not given up the land of Texas.]

[I don’t know that the Vietnamese Dynasty has a secret weapon. 】

【They would be willing to bet on the kindness of the evil spirit. 】

Bei Jingchu felt very uncomfortable and buried herself in Lei Nian'er's arms. She didn't want to talk anymore and didn't want to care about what was happening outside.

Lei Nian'er patted her on the back and raised her head.

I couldn't make out her expression in the darkness, but her voice was even darker.

"Xin'er, your mother is reluctant to do anything to you, but I am not your mother."

"If you dare to run out and bring trouble to Yangyang, I will kill you directly."

"I'll give you a quick death and save you from a miserable death at the hands of the enemy."

She didn't look threatening at all, and Xin'er could feel that she was serious.

"Mother..."

Xin'er went to her mother for help, but unexpectedly Ah Yu said, "Nian'er... you are right."

"If this child is really ignorant and goes out without permission, just kill her."

Amid the screams of yesterday's humiliation, Ah Yu heard the shrill screams of a young girl.

The bandits in Tuning are not human beings, they are beasts.

It is really lucky to die at the hands of your own people.

"Mother?!"

Ah Yu shook off Xin'er's hand and sternly taught her, "I usually pamper you and can't bear to see you suffer any grievances, nor do I ask you to be sensible."

"But what time is it now? Now is the time when the enemy is slaughtering the city."

"Xin'er, stop being so willful and be more understanding."

As he spoke, Ah Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He is still a seven-year-old child. If it weren't for the war, he wouldn't have needed to be sensible.

Bei Jingchu held her face in her hands, thinking in confusion.

[Why hasn’t the Vietnamese army arrived yet…]

[It must have been an accident. It can't be that Aye doesn't want me anymore. ]

[Even if you don't want me anymore, you can't give up Texas. ]

I know that people will definitely come, but I don’t know how many days I have to wait.

Unknown hope is always the most difficult to bear.

Bei Jingchu wrapped the quilt tightly around her body and leaned against Lei Nian'er to keep warm.

In the past, she was always stronger and more confident, and was their leader.

This was the first time she was vulnerable, and Lei Nian'er hugged her like a sister.

But she was obviously scared too.

That night, due to the continued exile and fear, and perhaps the coldness in the cellar, Bei Jingchu finally developed a high fever.

As a child with a healthy body who never got sick to worry his elders, he still couldn't escape the devastation of illness.

My body felt limp and I felt even weaker than when I was drugged.

The head seemed to be supported by something and it hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode in the next second.

Bei Jingchu felt cold and kept rubbing for a warm place.

Lei Nian'er touched her forehead and said in panic, "No, it's too hot."

"Auntie Yu, is there a herbal medicine store nearby? Yan Wei and I will go look for it."

Xin'er next to him was also lying in A Yu's arms, her little face flushed and her forehead hot.

Ah Yu looked at the two children with concern, then looked out into the bottomless darkness, and murmured, "When he was a child, my brother fell ill one night."

"My family is poor, and medicinal herbs are expensive."

"The money from the medicine is enough for the whole family to have many meals."

"Mother said that brother will definitely make it through this."

“But he didn’t make it.”

"When the temperature of his forehead dropped, I touched his nose and found that he was dead."

Ah Yu hugged his daughter tightly and said firmly, "You two take care of them first. I will go out to find medicine."

Lei Nian'er pulled her along and said, "Aunt Yu, I'll go too. I'm quite skilled and can detect any movement of bandits first."

"We only need to keep Yan Wei, who has the most powerful martial arts skills, to ensure their safety."

A Yu thought about it and agreed.

"Do you know what to look for?"

"I don't know much about medicine, but I can just find some simple ephedra and ginger. It's better than sitting and waiting to die."

Bei Jingchu heard the two people's discussion. She couldn't say anything, and could only shout in her heart: [Don't... go...]

[Nian'er, Aunt Yu, don't go out...]

Half asleep and half awake, even the voice of my heart is intermittent.

I kept repeating: [Don’t go out, don’t go out, don’t go out.]

However, among the few people who could hear her inner voice, no one complied with her request.

Xin'er's condition is better, she just feels uncomfortable and is occasionally conscious.

Before she fell asleep again, Ah Yu held her little face and said, "Xin'er, you must remember what your mother said."

"You don't have to remember anything else, but you must remember this sentence."

With tears in her eyes, she touched her daughter's cheek and said softly, "From now on, no matter what time it is, you must listen to Sister Yangyang."

"She's smart and won't hurt you."

"You follow her, and you two will take care of each other."

"Remember, remember it deep in your heart, you must listen to Yangyang."

"Remember no!"

Xin'er replied in a weak voice: "I will remember, mother, can you please not leave——"

"I can recover from my illness, please don't go out."

Of course it is not good.

They all know that going out is dangerous, but important people help them overcome their fear of danger.

A'Yu and Lei Nian'er still opened the door of the cellar and walked out under the stars and moon.

It's very quiet outside.

The village, which should have been bustling, is now deserted.

There was no sound of dogs barking in the middle of the night, not even the sound of birds.

Perhaps sensing danger, these little creatures hid away, and it is possible that they were slaughtered by the brutal enemy.

There was also total silence next door. I wondered if the neighbor lady managed to save herself and her children after her husband's death.
