Although the cave wasn't too dark because of the fire they had lit, it was still nighttime, and people's eyesight wasn't always that good.
Some corners could not be taken care of, so Yu Qingqing had no idea what was going on outside.
She was actually a little scared, and she didn't know if she had encountered the same thing as she had guessed.
She raised a finger and put it to her mouth, signaling Hua Qinglu and the others not to speak.
She was about to get up and go outside to see what was going on. Hua Qinglu saw that his daughter was going in person, and he was definitely worried about her going alone.
So he pulled her sleeve and asked quietly:
"Qing'er, don't worry! We don't know what's going on outside. It's pitch black everywhere now. It's very dangerous for you to go out alone like this.
Your elder brother and father should be a little far away from us, so they won't be able to take care of us for a while.
We are women, and if something really happens, we won’t be able to deal with it. It’s better for us to stay quietly in this cave and not go out for the time being.
Let’s wait until there’s no more noise, because we’re not sure what it is.
What if it's a dangerous situation? If you go out like this, won't you be putting yourself in danger? "
Hua Qinglu was trembling as he spoke, but he still analyzed his thoughts with Yu Qingqing and asked her not to be too impulsive.
After all, Yu Qingshu and the others are still some distance away from them, and as the saying goes, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.
If they go out like this rashly and something unexpected happens, it would really catch everyone off guard.
After hearing this, Yu Qingqing also felt that what Hua Qinglu said made sense.
I was really carried away just now, luckily I didn't go out immediately.
If there is really danger, then I would be the stupidest person.
She patted Hua Qinglu's hand to comfort her, and then quietly responded:
"Mom, don't worry, I won't go out! Don't worry, we don't have to go out, we'll just stay here.
If an accident really happens, remember to take your brother and sister and run away first. I will follow behind to buy you some time.
I don’t know what this sound outside is. I can’t make any difference to what I hear. It’s there sometimes and then gone.
So let’s not go out yet and wait until Big Brother and Dad come back.”
Yu Qingqing pulled harder and turned her ears out of the cave to listen to the noise outside.
There was a rustling sound outside, which came and went.
She didn't know what it was, and her heart was beating fast.
In fact, it was just a momentary impulse. If he really rushed out, he would probably regret it.
Yu Qingqing touched the dagger at his waist, ready to pull it out immediately if anything happened.
She acted as if ready to charge forward at any moment.
Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan, who were standing next to them, were so frightened by the sound that they hugged each other.
On the contrary, Yu Qingli next to him was relatively quiet, mainly because he was asleep.
They were not awakened by the noise outside, so they did not cry or make a fuss. Hua Qinglu turned around and saw his daughter and sister were so scared.
So they patted their shoulders to comfort them. In fact, she was also very scared in her heart, but she couldn't show it.
If everyone is afraid, then they are really in danger.
No one can escape, there must be a brave person among those people.
No one spoke, but no one dared to lie down and everyone squatted on the ground.
Prepared to rush outside if something really happened, Yu Qingqing put her ear to the ground, calmed down and listened carefully.
She tried to see if she could hear any noise outside, but after listening for a long time, there was nothing outside.
As I was listening and about to get up, I suddenly heard it again. There was indeed some movement, but this movement was different from the previous sound.
It felt more like the sound of human footsteps, but the sound was not very loud and she could not hear it clearly.
"Mom, I feel the sound has changed again. The sound just now is gone, and now I hear footsteps.
Do you think it could be Dad and the others coming? Do you think I should call them? If I don’t call them, I’m scared. If I call them, I’m also scared.”
Yu Qingqing wondered in her heart if it was Yu Qingshu and the others coming.
But she was not sure, because when she looked towards the fire, she did not see anyone.
And the place where she had placed the carriage was on the other side of the cave.
The fire just happened to illuminate the area where it could not be seen, so she felt very conflicted.
Hua Qinglu calmed down and heard his daughter say there were footsteps. She hoped it was her husband and that they had returned. So he pretended to be calm and said:
"How about we wait a little longer? What if it's not them again? Wouldn't that attract others?
It's so late, if someone really comes, we will be in danger, and your father and the others are not here."
Hua Qinglu naturally didn't dare to really call them like Yu Qingqing said to see if they would respond.
She planned to wait a little longer. If the footsteps really got closer, they would have no choice but to move forward and take a look.
Everyone suddenly fell into an atmosphere of fear.
They were also worried that someone else might come here late at night. If that happened, wouldn’t they be unsafe?
On the other side of the fire was where Yu Qingqing had placed the carriage. Yu Qingshu and the others had already converted the carriage into a cart.
The main thing is to dismantle the carriage directly, and there are not many changes in other places.
Then Yu Qingshu was pulling a cart towards the cave entrance, so the footsteps Yu Qingqing heard just now were indeed theirs.
But he didn't know that their noise scared his wife and children, who thought someone had come.
Yu Qingshu pushed the cart to the side of the fire, then put it down and stopped moving forward.
He and Yu Qinghai started to move towards the cave entrance, but the cave entrance was not very bright along the firelight.
So he couldn't see the people inside clearly, or the specific situation. He tried to shout into the cave:
"Qing'er, Qing'er, are you in there? I've already prepared it.
Your elder brother and I have already put the food where we cooked the porridge. Please come out quickly."
Yu Qingshu cleared his throat, but still shouted with a pinched voice.
After all, it was late at night and he didn't want to make too much noise.
Yu Qingqing really heard Yu Qingshu's shout, and her tense mood immediately relaxed.
