The girl who ran in was a dark-skinned, thin girl of about eight or nine years old.
Holding a slingshot, he looked at Shanxing and waited for her to give the order.
Li Lanzhen discovered that these children always waited for Shanxing to speak whenever something happened.
It seems that after the village was massacred by the men in black, these children went into hiding and became the leaders of the Shanxing tribe.
Shanxing looked at Li Lanzhen and asked, "We're going to kill these corrupt officials and soldiers. What about you? Will you stay or leave?"
Li Lanzhen said, "Shanxing, I suggest we leave and avoid a direct confrontation with them."
We can fight them, but no one can guarantee the safety of every child.
I don't want to lose any of the children here; I want them to be safe and sound.
Shanxing lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment.
This time, Sanwang did not rush to express his anger.
He simply held Douhua tightly, and Douhua nestled affectionately in his arms.
Shanxing looked up at Li Lanzhen, "Escape is easy, I can lead the way and get everyone out, but what about the village? And this ancestral hall..."
After she finished speaking, all the children looked at the ancestral tablets placed on the back wall of the ancestral hall.
Li Lanzhen thought for a moment and said, "Shanxing, if you trust me, just hand everything here over to me. Just tell me what you want to take with you, and I will give it all back to you once we reach a safe place."
Xue Bao glanced at Li Lanzhen, then looked at the hesitant Shanxing.
"Shanxing, don't worry, Aunt Lanzhen always keeps her word."
Shanxing nodded. "I believe you. All the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall must be moved."
Moreover, she glanced at Sanwang…
Sanwang stepped forward and said, "Our belongings are all stored in the cellar of the ancestral hall. Please come with me and take all those things with you."
Shanxing looked at Sanwang, whose eyes were red.
“After the accident, we collected everything from our parents’ and grandparents’ homes, and kept it all as a memento.”
Li Lanzhen nodded in understanding, and looked at Xue Bao and Shan Xing.
"Take care of the children you are in charge of and evacuate the village first. I'll be there soon."
Li Lanzhen continued to carry the tofu pudding and glutinous rice balls in a basket on her back.
Xue Bao had already led Shi Tou and the others out of the ancestral hall.
Shanxing squatted down and pushed open the door under the offering table that led to the cellar.
The children filed in, and soon each of them came out carrying a basket on their back.
"This is the entrance to the cellar. Inside are all the things we brought from various families. We're leaving now and handing this over to you."
After Shanxing finished speaking, she led the children out of the ancestral hall and into the courtyard.
Li Lanzhen waved her hand and put all the memorial tablets into the space, then went down into the cellar.
The cellar was large, with a straight passageway and many small openings dug on both sides, presumably where the children slept.
She didn't have time to look closely; as she passed each opening, she put everything inside into her spatial storage.
In one go, she stored everything in the cellar into her spatial storage.
He quickly left the cellar, rushed out of the ancestral hall, and turned around to close the ancestral hall door tightly.
You can vaguely see children climbing up the mountain in the woods to the west of the ancestral hall.
She rushed over quickly, and before she had gone far, she saw Xue Bao.
"Auntie, run! The enemy has entered the village. Hurry up the mountain, I'll cover our tracks."
Li Lanzhen immediately ran up the mountain and hid behind a big tree, looking down the mountain.
Sure enough, about 20 soldiers rushed into Lishu Village.
Li Lanzhen clearly saw that seven or eight people rushed into the first courtyard at the entrance of the village.
She was secretly delighted. "Go in, go in, let you see what a disgusting scene this is!"
Sure enough, a short while later, three or five soldiers came out, leaned against the trees outside the courtyard, and started vomiting violently!
Then you see the soldiers scrambling out of the courtyard like rabbits, running in groups of two or three towards every courtyard in the village.
Finally, they arrived outside the ancestral hall.
After making sure all traces were cleaned up, Xue Bao immediately went up the mountain and hid behind a tree with Li Lanzhen to observe.
Xue Bao said, "Aunt Lanzhen, hurry up the mountain, I'm afraid Shan Xing'er and the others won't be able to resist rushing down the mountain."
Li Lanzhen turned and ran up the mountain. After a couple of steps, she called out, "Xue Bao, let's go together!"
Xue Bao agreed and quickly caught up with her. The two hadn't gone far when they saw Shanxing.
Her hands were clenched tightly, her eyes filled with coldness and hatred!
Li Lanzhen patted her shoulder and said.
"Shanxing'er, let's hurry up. If we wait too long, those soldiers will find out that someone has lived in the village. If they can't find anyone, they might come up the mountain."
Shanxing glanced at the ancestral hall again, then turned and followed them into the depths of the mountains.
As Li Lanzhen ran, she thought that if the soldiers couldn't find anyone, food, or silver in the village, they would probably burn the village down in their anger.
Perhaps they will discover their tracks and run up the mountain.
Shanxing led them, turning left and right through the mountains, passing through several bends.
Li Lanzhen had lost her sense of direction.
At this moment, they arrived in front of a towering cliff that seemed to reach into the clouds.
When Li Lanzhen ran up to the front, she found that there was no cave or passable mountain road.
The cliff was covered with vines as thick as a child's arm, densely intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish which was the main root and which was a branch.
She wondered to herself, could there be a hidden, unknown mountain gate here, like the Valley of Forgetfulness, that she could enter?
Sure enough, Shanxing quickly parted the vines covering the mountain wall.
A narrow crevice, just wide enough for one adult to pass through, suddenly appeared on the cliff!
Yes! What Li Lanzhen saw was a crack that had opened up from the cliff!
It's too narrow!!
Shanxing shouted to everyone, "Hurry up and come in!"
The children darted past like fish.
Xue Bao and Shan Xing went in last.
When Li Laizhen passed through, she felt that the crevice was very narrow, and her two shoulders were pressed tightly against the mountain walls on both sides.
After walking about a dozen steps further in, the gap became wider and wider.
But looking up, the cliffs on both sides still tower into the clouds, and you can't see the top.
After walking a dozen steps forward, the cliff came to an end. Looking up, Li Lanzhen was shocked by the scene before her!
This place is practically a mini-Jiangnan. You could call it a paradise, but right now it's just mountains and rivers, without the ten-mile-long peach blossom forest or the lively atmosphere of everyday life.
This place is wonderful, but Li Lanzhen fell in love with it at first sight!
When they first found the Valley of Forgetfulness, she liked it very much, but she didn't see this place and felt that deep, heartfelt liking for it!
She felt that this was the place where she could truly live a carefree and unrestrained life!
However, this place wasn't discovered by myself; it must be the base camp of Shanxing and her friends.
Perhaps this is where they have been able to find food and survive until now.
This valley is surrounded by towering cliffs that reach into the clouds.
The valley in the middle is very large, located near the left.
At this moment, Li Lanzhen was unsure of her direction. On the side closest to her, there was a vast expanse of reeds.
They were like people who had stumbled upon a reed marshland and found this paradise on earth!
