Chapter 2 Dilemma
At this time, the sky was almost dark, and the visibility was worse after entering the forest, less than three meters.
Li Qingxuan groped forward, looking up at the surroundings and above his head from time to time to prevent any secret whistles that had not left.
After a while, he came to the edge of the forest.
The woods are small and empty.
He looked up to the bandits, but because he walked cautiously and slowly, he was more affected by the coldness of wind and rain.
Li Qingxuan didn't feel any regretful.
After escaping abroad in his previous life, he thought he was safe, so he relaxed his vigilance and planned to start his life again through the backhand he had prepared before, but the people were gone that day.
God has mercy on him and let him live another life in another world.
In this life, it is not an exaggeration to act cautiously!
After all this time, the sky has completely dimmed.
Li Qingxuan leaned against a big tree at the outermost edge, squinted his eyes and looked at the unstable fire light floating more than ten meters ahead.
With the light of fire, you can see a pavilion where wooden boards are pieced together on both sides, not blocking the wind and only covering the rain.
In the memory of the previous life, there was only a rough fence outside Lijia Village. This pavilion should have been created by the bandits themselves this afternoon.
The pavilion was facing the woods without any obstruction, and you could vaguely see someone inside.
Li Qingxuan endured the cold, closed his eyes, recalled the terrain in the village, and hunched over and touched it through the blind spot of his vision.
Within five meters, Li Qingxuan could see clearly with the fire.
There were two people in the pavilion, huddled together and roasted on the fire, while the meat was still roasted on the fire rack.
The meat is very fat and dripped from time to time, splashing a bunch of sparks.
Seeing this, Li Qingxuan subconsciously licked his lips.
He was very hungry and half a piece of dry cake was useless.
Li Qingxuan endured the heavy rain and cold, clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
Although he had speculations, witnessing all this with his own eyes still shocked his mind.
Li Qingxuan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, and returned to calm down.
When exposed to cold environments for a long time, the human body is prone to lose its temperature, especially for children who are not very nutritious, who cannot withstand the continuous invasion of cold rain.
Now time is fate for him!
Li Qingxuan began to turn his eyes around the pavilion and observe the surrounding environment through the fire. At the same time, under the stimulation of life and death, his mind was spinning rapidly.
On the inside of the pavilion is a fence about two meters high.
However, the fence was so dilapidated that there were large gaps within Li Qingxuan's vision. The gaps should be caused by bandits rushing into the village today.
I don’t know what the meaning of building this temporary pavilion is. After all, in the dark night, the firelight cannot help them see the existence in the darkness except to expose them.
But for Li Qingxuan, this is an opportunity to sneak in!
He used the sound of wind and rain to cover it up, approaching the fence, and groping for the gap that could allow himself to enter.
Next to it is the pavilion outside the fence. When it is close, you can hear the conversation between the two inside.
"The south is so good. It's not messy yet, so my brothers can eat the meat in one bite."
"It is also the decisiveness of the boss. He led his brothers to escape the blockade and ventured across the river. Otherwise, we would not live long with those sick victims."
"It's just that our brothers were unlucky. They drew lots to watch. The bastards were comfortable in the temple. They couldn't blow the wind and rain, and there were women playing..."
Li Qingxuan was angry when he heard this, but his movements did not stop. He found a suitable gap and slid over.
Without the cover of the fence, a building contour hidden in the wind and rain appeared in his field of view, but except for the light that could be seen in the center of the village, the rest were pitch black and difficult to see clearly.
Li Qingxuan followed the memory and touched his left hand.
It is the home of the former, located in the outermost corner of the village.
moment.
A very subtle ray of fire came from a room in the corner of the village, and was very inconspicuous in the dark wind and rain.
"Fortunately, these bandits did not occupy Lijia Village for a long time. They just searched for it and found no food hidden by their predecessor's mother."
Li Qingxuan stuffed the hidden dry cakes into the clay pot, took some rainwater and put them on the fire to cook. After all this, he took off his clothes in a daze and sat next to the fire to roast the fire.
He is now in his own kitchen.
There were fire breaks, food, and wood and hay for wintering. He also found a skinning knife, which was quite sharp.
In this location, there is little chance that the fire will be discovered.
Moreover, he is already a little dizzy, his body is weak, and the cold air enters his body. He does not have the warmth of the fire, so he probably can't stand it tonight.
Gudong ~
The hot cake soup dripped across his throat, dispelling the chill in Li Qingxuan's body.
"Huh~"
After seventy-four, he put down the clay pot wrapped in clothes and exhale a breath of heat.
“It’s great to be alive.”
Li Qingxuan stood up and walked around the narrow kitchen. While moving his body and resisting the sleepiness and fatigue from his body, he thought about how to survive next.
"I heard from the bandits at the village entrance that they had just fled from the north."
Thinking of this, he frowned.
Although my predecessor was only eight years old, the children of poor families were precocious and helped the family early and knew a little about the surrounding area.
Lijia Village is surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness, and it is dozens of miles away from the nearest county town. It is a remote place and far away from the official road.
This kind of place is a good place for those bandits who have just arrived.
Li Qingxuan sighed.
The village is so big, and it’s okay to hide from the food hidden by my predecessor’s mother for five or six days. If it takes a long time, it will definitely be discovered.
And now the bandits have not settled down yet. After they settled down and started to get familiar with the surroundings, they have no place to hide.
Li Qingxuan shook his head, feeling helpless.
The best way to him is to take advantage of the fact that there is still food, leave the village before dawn, rush to the county town, and report the bandits' affairs to the government.
But there are three fatal problems here.
First, the wind and rain outside will stop.
Second, the surrounding terrain is rugged, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk after the rain. My body and current state will definitely not be able to withstand such a long way.
Third, I have only heard of the location of the county town, but I have never been there!
The hope of staying and leaving is too slim.
Time passes by little by little.
Li Qingxuan frowned and became tighter.
He really couldn't imagine what he could use to solve the current predicament under such circumstances.
"Am I going to die again?"
Woo ~
The cold wind and rain outside became more and more rampant, squeezing through the crack of the door, blowing the flames on the fire back, which also made Li Qingxuan subconsciously shrink his body.
This weather is so adults can’t stand it even after they go out for a long time.
In the memory of my predecessor, this period of each year is the most difficult period, and it will get colder and colder later. It must...
Um?
Li Qingxuan looked up suddenly.
He thought of the vitality.
Chapter completed!
