Chapter 239 Selling the Idol Again
"Brother, when daddy hits me later, you have to help me. I'm in so much pain. Daddy, please be gentle when you hit me. I'm afraid of the pain." Li Xiaoying said pitifully.
Li Youcai's tears suddenly flowed out, "Xiaoying, Daddy won't beat you, really, Daddy won't beat you anymore in the future."
"Really? That's great." Li Xiaoying waved her hands happily. Chen Dawang quickly held them down and said anxiously, "I told you not to move. Don't move."
Li Xiaoying hummed “Ouch,” “Ouch,” “Ouch.” This tiger girl was so happy that she forgot she was still injured.
"Brother, come on, help her." Li Youcai hurriedly stepped aside, Li Haoran stepped forward to take her pulse, and signaled Chen Dawang to lay Li Xiaoying's head flat.
"Dashan, please help me, my legs are numb." Li Xiaoying's head was resting on his legs. He dared not move, for fear that any movement would hurt Li Xiaoying's injury. Now when he was about to move out, he found that his legs were numb.
Li Youcai held his daughter's head, Li Dashan helped move Chen Dawang's legs out, and Chen Shengli hurried over to massage his son's legs. Chen Dawang looked at his father's concerned eyes and sighed in his heart: "Dad, don't worry, I'm not hurt."
"I'm glad you're not hurt. We were so worried. Don't be so reckless next time. It's too dangerous in the forest at night, especially when you're alone."
"Okay, it's not numb anymore." Chen Dawang stood up.
Li Haoran also checked Li Xiaoying's hands and feet and found that Chen Dawang had bandaged them well, but there was not enough medicine.
Li Youcai learned that his daughter fell down from a tree while she was sleeping. He wanted to scold her but couldn't, and wanted to hit her but couldn't, so he could only sulk in his heart.
Li Dashan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You, what can I say about you? Can you sleep on a tree?"
"But Sister Yike is enough. It's just that I'm stupid, so I fell down." Li Xiaoying grumbled.
There is another possible thing, Li Haoran was surprised. "How do you know that I could sleep in a tree?"
"Sister Yike said so." Li Xiaoying sold out her idol Yike again, "She said that when she fled into the mountains, there was no cave on the road, so she slept on a tree." "That's what I knew, this is what Yike can teach. Big brother, you have to discipline that girl well and don't lead the kids in the mountains astray." Chen Shengli took the opportunity to flatter Yike.
"No, Sister Yike didn't lead us astray." Li Xiaoying argued hurriedly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, be careful of the wound on your face." Li Haoran was happy to see the little girl defending Yi Ke so much, and he quickly comforted her, "Your sister Yi Ke can sleep on the tree because she tied herself to the tree with a rope, so that she won't fall down when she falls asleep."
"Oh, no wonder, I only remembered to bring the rope but forgot what to bring the rope for. How stupid!" Li Xiaoying scolded herself.
"Go chop some trees to make a stretcher. We can only carry him here. It's better to carry him to the hospital. The hospital can use instruments to check if there are any other injuries, such as internal organs."
The others went to cut trees to make stretchers. Li Youcai discussed with Li Haoran about borrowing money. Li Haoran didn't have any money on him, so he thought about going out by himself. He needed a certificate to go to the hospital. He would go to Wang Guoqing to get a certificate and ask Ziyi for money. So he told Li Youcai his idea.
Li Youcai was stunned. He needed proof to see a doctor. Fortunately, he had Brother Haoran, otherwise it would be useless to go.
"In fact, not everyone needs a certificate when seeing a doctor. As long as the money is enough and can be used until discharge, the hospital may not ask for it. The hospital requires a certificate because they are afraid that the patient will not pay after recovering from the illness and run away secretly." Li Haoran explained.
The stretcher was ready, and everyone carefully placed Li Xiaoying on it.
"I know there is a cave nearby. Let's go there and stay overnight and go back tomorrow during the day." Li Haoran arranged.
"If I don't go back, what will happen to my family?" asked Chen Shengli.
"I want to follow Youcai out of the mountains. If you go back, what if we encounter wild beasts?" Li Youcai asked back.
"Yes, we should stay overnight. It's safer during the day. Without Brother Haoran, we have such limited skills that we can only deliver food to wild beasts. I won't go. Aren't the women and children with Brother Haoran? We didn't go back. They have arranged it. Besides, the cave entrance is very solid, unlike the previous caves. Don't worry."
"Let's go to the cave first." Chen Dawang rushed to carry the stretcher, so Li Dashan and Chen Dawang carried the stretcher, Li Youcai and Du Qingcang protected the stretcher on both sides, Li Haoran led the way in front, and a group of people walked towards the cave.
Ziyi and Yike were sleeping soundly in the cave. After walking for several days, everyone was very tired. They never expected that someone would come to the cave in the middle of the night.
When Li Haoran and his companions were approaching the cave, Ziyi was suddenly awakened. He listened carefully and found that there was indeed a sound. He immediately woke up Yike, "Yike, there's some noise outside."
"It sounds like a branch being stepped on. Is there a wild animal?"
"There's a lot of twig snapping noises, and it's getting closer. Hurry, wake them up."
"Sister, big girl, wake up quickly." Yi Ke went over to wake them up.
"It's dawn. Are we going to set off?" Han Guihua asked sleepily.
"I'm telling you, don't shout, cover your mouth." Several girls covered their mouths with their hands and stared at Yi Ke.
"There's a noise outside, and we don't know what it is. It could be a wild animal, so you guys are not allowed to make any noise in the cave, lest you attract the wild animal in."
The girls looked at Yike with horror in their eyes.
"Don't be afraid. Even if there are wild animals, we are in the cave and they can't get in. Besides, with Ziyi and I here, the wild animals will just give us a snack. Don't shout. I'll go take a look too."
As soon as he finished explaining, he rushed to the cave entrance and tried to listen to the noise outside.
"Do you want to go out and take a look?" Yi Ke was eager to try.
"What are you thinking? Can't you see they are all terrified? When we go out, they are scared to death."
Sure enough, the big girl and several other girls covered their mouths tightly, probably because they were afraid of screaming. Han Guihua was a little braver and ran over to grab Yike, her hands trembling. "Sister, please don't go out."
"It's okay, sister, don't worry, I won't go out, I'll stay to protect you."
"It's better not to go out. We don't need your protection. If it's really dangerous, you and Ziyi can escape. Don't worry about us. We will only drag you down."
"Yes, if the situation comes to that, you two should run away. But it would be better if you can take your cousin's wife with you as well. Then the six of us sisters can stop them." The eldest girl and her sisters came over and said, and the other girls nodded to express their agreement.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid! Even if I'm afraid, there's nothing I can do. You are our benefactors, and we can't bring trouble to them."
"I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to run away. My man is very strong. He has even killed a tiger. So don't be afraid. Everything will be fine." Yi Ke was truly moved. She now completely agreed with them.
