Chapter 195 Night Run
Chapter 195 Night Run
Several children who were keeping watch watched Li Lanzhen leave.
In fact, the adults in the tree house were not asleep.
Li Erhan and Ye Shi sat on the bed in a daze, looking at Li Lanzhen, whose thin figure disappeared into the darkness.
Li Erhan's eyes were red and Ye was wiping her tears.
"Daddy, our daughter has suffered so much! Wuuuuuu..."
"Okay, stop crying. If Lanlan hears you, she'll be sad too. The child has suffered a lot. Let's just take good care of ourselves, live well, and spend more time with her."
Han Minghai sat on the bed with the curtain on the door not drawn. He watched Li Lanzhen's figure disappear into the darkness.
His tears flowed drop by drop and fell on his clenched fists.
Zhang Yu Niang wiped away her tears and patted his back. "Go to sleep. Let's work hard. Mother will bring me back. When she sees that the house and yard are already being built, she will be very happy."
Li Lanzhen had never expected that so many people would be so reluctant and heartbroken about her leaving tonight.
She placed all the stones and wood on the material storage area of the homestead, turned around and ran towards Dongshan.
She reached the small cave entrance on the east mountain and quickly moved the stones inside.
After entering with a flashlight, I didn't block the hole and went straight through.
When she came down from the big platform on the top of the mountain.
I knew there was someone following her.
She guessed it should be Xue Lao Hu, Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang, but there seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps.
She didn't know who it was, but she could tell it was a child.
Li Lanzhen sighed in her heart and decided to let them follow. If following them would make them feel at ease, then she would let them come back after we got to the foot of the mountain.
Li Lanzhen walked down along the valley where she had been captured by the soldiers when she went down the mountain.
Maybe it was because it was dark, or maybe Li Lanzhen's speed was faster than before.
She ran all the way, only startling a few pheasants and scaring away a few rabbits on the way, but did not encounter any large animals.
In less than an hour, Li Lanzhen arrived at the mountain near the official road leading to Youzhou City.
The sound of footsteps following behind her was always following her, not far away, not close. The tiny voice lagged behind a little, but was also following her.
This time when she comes back, she has to ask Xue Lao Hu, who is this child?
Firstly, she wanted to know which child was so talented and had made such great progress just by studying with Xue Lao Hu and others for such a short period of time.
The second point is that she also wants to thank him for worrying about her, caring about her, and giving her this heart.
The mountain breeze blew up the corners of Li Lanzhen's clothes. She turned her head and spoke gently to the dark woods.
“Thank you for coming to see me off. Now let’s go back. The rest of the way is not suitable for you to follow me. You go first. I can go down the mountain with peace of mind only after I hear you leave.
Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself, and I won't be in danger."
After she said this, there was no movement in the forest behind her.
She just stood there, watching and waiting.
After a while, three footsteps were heard gradually fading away, and the tiny footsteps followed.
At this time, Li Lanzhen was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. She sat on the top of the mountain and looked in the direction of Youzhou City.
The night was hazy, and the mountains were connected to each other in pitch black. The city of Youzhou showed only an outline under the moonlight.
Li Lanzhen closed her eyes and carefully recalled the dream she had that day, trying to identify the direction.
The Youzhou City flashed by in the dream. The mountain stronghold in the dream should be in the southwest of Youzhou City.
That was the mountain on the other side where Goudan took them through the dog tunnel for the first time.
The mountains to the west are tall and steep, and much steeper than the mountains to the east.
After thinking about all this, Li Lanzhen flashed into the space. She had to change her clothes, otherwise this set of clothes would be really inconvenient.
After entering the space, I saw Silver Fox sitting cross-legged on the grass with a small bag next to him. He was already wearing a black sportswear.
This black sportswear looks quite handsome on him. The silver mask on his face has been taken off and is covered with a black triangular scarf.
There was a small bundle next to him. Li Lanzhen guessed that it contained the firecrackers and other things she had brought for Silver Fox.
Seeing Li Lanzhen coming in, Silver Fox stood up immediately.
"Ma'am, shall we go now?"
Li Lanzhen thought about it and decided to tell him.
“I have arrived near Youzhou City.
My son and daughter-in-law are in the mountains west of Youzhou City.
Silver Fox frowned after hearing this.
"There are two bandit camps in the mountains southwest of Youzhou City.
I wonder which village you got the news from?"
This time, Li Lanzhen was also dumbfounded.
It was pitch dark and she didn't know the exact location of the village or what its features were.
Suddenly, she thought of something that flashed by: there seemed to be a flag or a sail hanging on the gate of the mountain village.
"By the way, Silver Fox, there is a gray wolf skin hanging on the gate of that mountain village."
Silver Fox's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Ma'am, this is really not good news.
This mountain village is located in the Wild Wolf Valley, and its name is Wild Wolf Village.
Their leader is a one-eyed wolf, cruel and ruthless. If you fall into his hands, there is almost no chance of survival."
When Li Lanzhen heard this, her heart tightened even more.
She said to Silver Fox, "How about this, wait for me, I'll change my clothes, and you can go out with me."
Silver Fox bowed his head and said, "Okay, ma'am, I'll wait for you."
Li Lanzhen slipped into the courtyard, changed her clothes, and came out with an axe in both hands.
"Come on, Silver Fox, grab one of my sleeves and I'll take you out."
It was the first time that Silver Fox saw Li Lanzhen holding a sharp axe with a cold blade in one hand.
My heart sank.
It turns out that the lady is a martial artist and can wield double axes!
Silver Fox was carrying his bag and was thinking about it when suddenly he saw darkness and arrived at a mountain.
Is it still night? He wondered if the lady had walked such a long distance in the dark, or if she lived on this mountain.
"Silver Fox, do you know the approximate location of Wild Wolf Valley?"
Silver Fox said, "I've heard of the approximate location. We should be able to find it if we go in that direction."
The two men took some effort to find the mountain.
As soon as she got closer to the village, Li Lanzhen was sure that this was the village where she saw her youngest son in her dream.
Li Lanzhen said to Silver Fox, "It's right here!"
Silver Fox nodded, "This is the Wild Wolf Village, the largest bandit village nearby.
The government came to suppress them several times but failed to eliminate them.
The leader of the Wild Wolf Village is the One-Eyed Dragon. Let's slowly get closer to see what's going on."
At this time, Silver Fox was walking in front and Li Lanzhen was following behind. Silver Fox took her to a small hill in front of the main gate of the village. The hill was covered with tall trees.
"Ma'am, can you climb this tree?"
Li Lanzhen nodded, and in no time she climbed up the tree, followed by the silver fox.
The two men found a stable tree branch, sat on it and looked towards the gate of the village.
