The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 81 Xiaoyan Run (1)
"Here you go!" Jiang Li smiled and gently broke the bun in his hand into two halves, then handed one half to Xiaoyan. A hint of surprise flashed in Xiaoyan's eyes, but then he lowered his head and tried not to look at the half bun.
"You eat it, I've already eaten one." Xiaoyan said softly.
"I'm a girl, I don't eat that much, I'll give it to you." Jiang Li smiled gently, put half of the bun in Mo Yan's hand, and then began to eat his half attentively. At this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes were full of emotion, he felt that Xiao Li was really good to him.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoli." Xiaoyan looked at Jiang Li gratefully, her voice trembling slightly.
"Hmm? You call me sister? Hmm! That's right! Call me sister from now on." Jiang Li couldn't help but feel happy when she heard him call her sister. After all, she had always been the youngest child in the family, and now she finally had someone younger than her to call her sister.
Two more days passed like this. No new children came in during these two days. There were more people guarding outside, and they looked a little nervous.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Li was suddenly awakened by a loud noise coming from outside. She opened her eyes dazedly, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. So, she gently pushed Xiao Yan beside her, trying to wake him up.
"Xiaoyan, wake up quickly..." Jiang Li called out in a low voice.
Xiao Yan was awakened by Jiang Li's push. She rubbed her eyes and asked sleepily, "Sister Xiao Li, what happened?"
"I'm not too sure, but something seems to have happened outside. We have to find a way to untie the rope just in case. Follow me and don't make any noise." Jiang Li's tone sounded very anxious.
Hearing this, Xiaoyan immediately came to his senses. He realized that the situation might be critical and he had to take action as soon as possible. So, the two began to carefully untie the ropes tied around their hands.
Fortunately, the ropes simply tied around one of their arms and did not act as a big restraint. Not long after, Jiang Li successfully untied the ropes on his hands.
In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, they kept the ropes tied around their hands and listened quietly to the noise outside. At this time, the noise outside was getting louder and louder.
"Boss, something terrible has happened! A large number of government troops are coming outside. The situation is very critical. Let's run away quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!" A man came running breathlessly from the foot of the mountain, his face full of fear, and urgently reported the shocking news to the boss who was guarding the goods.
Upon hearing the news, the boss panicked and paced back and forth anxiously. He said anxiously, "But what should we do with this batch of goods? It's too late to send them away now! If we are caught by the government, the consequences will be disastrous!"
At this moment, one of the men came forward and whispered in the boss's ear: "Boss, at this point, I'm afraid there is only..." Then he gestured with his hand as if he was wiping his neck. The boss was startled and looked into the cave involuntarily. When he saw the children, his eyes twitched violently.
After a moment's silence, the eldest brother nodded helplessly and said in a heavy tone: "It seems that this is the only way. These children have seen the faces of several of us. If we let them fall into the hands of the government, it will definitely bring us endless troubles. Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, we have no choice..."
Jiang Li listened attentively to the noise coming from outside. The noise was getting louder and louder. She suddenly felt that the situation was not good. So she quickly untied the rope tied to her body without hesitation, and with the help of the faint flickering candlelight, she carefully led Xiaoyan to crawl slowly into the cave. When passing by the girl named Xiaonian, Jiang Li gently pushed her. Xiaonian looked at the two of them with horror on her face. Jiang Li pointed at the rope in her hand, and then pointed to the depths of the cave. Xiaonian nodded after understanding, and began to untie the rope.
Jiang Li held Xiaoyan's hand tightly and struggled to climb behind a huge rock. There was a pool of water hidden there, which was where they usually drank water. At this moment, Jiang Li had no time to care about anything else, and pulled Xiaoyan into the water without hesitation. The pool in the cave was icy cold, making the two of them tremble all over. Fortunately, the depth of the pool was only knee-deep. After they entered the pool, they heard the miserable cries of the children. The guard had a sharp knife in his hand and had brutally killed a poor girl. Xiaoyan was so scared that he screamed involuntarily. Jiang Li hurriedly covered his mouth and pressed his head hard behind the stone to avoid attracting the attention of the guard. Fortunately, the children's cries came one after another, and Xiaoyan's screams were drowned out. However, Jiang Li's hand covering Xiaoyan's mouth could not stop shaking.
As these poor children were tied together tightly with ropes, when the first child was killed, the hearts of the other children were instantly devoured by fear. They began to flee in panic in the narrow cave, but due to the restraint of the ropes, their range of movement was extremely limited. The older children tried to quickly untie the ropes in order to save their lives, but this action caused the entire cave to fall into chaos.
"Xiaoyan, follow me and run outside later. Don't be afraid that the soldiers will come to rescue us." Jiang Li pulled Xiaoyan and slowly moved out from the edge. Xiaoyan was so scared that he could only follow Jiang Li instinctively.
At this time, the two guards killed two more children, turned around and saw Jiang Li and Xiao Yan. They also found that they had untied the ropes, and they were even more furious and came over with knives.
"It's you again, you little bitch." As he said that, he chopped at her with the knife.
"Xiaoyan, run!" Jiang Li pulled Xiaoyan and ran out.
"You dare to run away from me? No one will survive today."
