The little boy frowned: "As soon as you go out, people outside will find this place, so you can't go out."

"My eldest sister will be very worried if they can't find me if I don't go out. Get out of the way!"

"I won't let you go out." The little boy said and pulled out the short knife from his waist.

As expected, there was a look of fear in Shen Jiyue's eyes.

The little boy's voice softened a bit: "As long as you are honest, I will not hurt you. When the people outside leave, I will naturally let you go."

His words could only fool a child of four or five years old. Shen Jiyue would not believe it.

But he was blocking the entrance of the cave, holding a knife in his hand. It was really scary, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

Then he raised his eyes and glared at the other party fiercely.

Her eyes were dark and big, set in a thin and small face. Not only were they not intimidating at all, they looked like a kitten that had been wronged and wanted to accuse.

Just as the little boy was about to say something, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

He could even hear several people's voices clearly.

"I obviously ran in this direction when I saw him, but for a half-year-old child, could it be possible that he also grew wings and flew away?"

"This kid is so cunning and ruthless. He might be hiding somewhere. Everyone, please search carefully. If we don't find him, we won't be able to go back and report him!"

As the footsteps got closer and closer, the little boy stiffened and did not dare to move. His breathing even stopped.

Shen Jiyue noticed his nervousness and became nervous herself unconsciously.

"You two go to the front and take a look, and you two go to the other side. Today we have to dig up the entire mountain to find him!"

The speaker was standing two or three meters away from the entrance of the cave where the two men were hiding. As long as he turned around and looked carefully, he could see the traces covered by the weeds.

The little boy and Shen Jiyue held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound. The entire cave was so quiet that they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats...

Shen Xinyue and everyone searched down the mountain along the direction where Shen Jiyue fell.

While searching, he shouted Shen Jiyue's name loudly.

"Jiyue!"

"Little sister——"

Hearing Shen Xinyue's voice, Shen Jiyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s the eldest sister!

"big……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the little boy standing opposite reached out his hand and covered her mouth.

"Woo!"

She struggled to pry his hand away, but she didn't know that he was too strong and she couldn't get away at all.

"Shh." The little boy gestured towards her to silence her.

How could Shen Jiyue listen? She was her eldest sister outside. If she couldn't be found, her eldest sister would definitely be very worried.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She opened her mouth and bit the little boy's hand hard.

Unexpectedly, the little boy just groaned and didn't move at all.

"Boss, someone is coming. Judging from the situation, there are quite a few people."

"Have you found anything around here?"

"No."

"This trip should not be known to outsiders, so as not to alert others, let's go somewhere else first. If there is only a child left, I don't believe he can escape from my grasp."

Soon the footsteps outside gradually faded away, and the little boy finally escaped the disaster and loosened his grip on Shen Jiyue.

Looking at the tooth marks and blood seeping from the tiger's mouth, he couldn't help but frown.

Shen Jiyue's guilty eyes averted for a moment, and then she puffed out her chest and said, "You covered my mouth first, and then I bit you."

The little boy put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said, "It's my fault, it doesn't matter."

Hearing what he said, all the attacks Shen Jiyue had prepared were useless, and she felt a lot of guilt in her heart.

Seeing that he was wearing tattered clothes and his head and face were dirty, he couldn't help but soften his voice: "What's your name? Why are those people looking for you?"

Hatred flashed in the little boy's eyes: "My name is Wang Liang, and those people were sent by my uncle. They killed my parents and wanted to kill me."

"Ah? Your uncle is too bad, even worse than my aunt. She ordered me and my sisters to work without giving us food to eat, and she even wanted to sell me for money..."

Shen Jiyue wanted to say more, but a voice called her again from outside. She quickly stopped, responded loudly, turned around and ran outside.

"Sister, I'm here!"

Shen Xinyue and the villagers came over after hearing the sound. When they saw that her clothes were only scratched and not injured, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who is this?" Shen Xinyue looked at the little boy standing not far away.

Although his face is dirty, it can be seen that he looks pretty good, especially in his eyes, which has a calmness that is not found in children of his age.

"Sister, his name is Wang Liang, he saved me when I fell down the mountain." Shen Jiyue turned back and blinked at Wang Liang.

Wang Liang reacted quickly and said with some embarrassment: "It happened to me, it's nothing."

"Sister, he has no parents like us. He is very pitiful. Can we let him stay with us?"

Hu Songbai advised earnestly: "Ji Yue, your eldest sister has to take care of your grandma, and you and the younger ones. It's already very hard, how can you take care of another child?"

Shen Xinyue very much agreed with Hu Songbai's words.

Living in these troubled times, no one is pitiful. Although you want to help others, you have to look at your own situation.

They are also on the run right now, and they can't even take care of themselves. This is not the time for compassion to overflow.

So, she took out a lot of money from her arms and said, "Thank you for saving my little sister. This money is a little thought."

Although I don't have much money, I can still buy a lot of food.

It's not that Shen Xinyue is stingy, but based on her current situation, the money is the most reasonable.

The little boy did not accept the money, but bowed heavily in the direction of Shen Xinyue: "Sister, let me follow you. I have strength and eat very little. I promise I won't drag you down."

That group of people will not let him go. Only by following these people in front of them can they save their lives.

Seeing that Shen Xinyue was still reluctant to speak, Shen Jiyue pulled the corner of her clothes and begged cautiously: "Sister, Ji Yue can save some of the food and give it to him, and just take this little brother with you, okay?"

They are both children without parents, but she still has a grandmother, an eldest sister, a second sister, a third sister, and a fourth sister. The younger brother has nothing.

Shen Xinyue lowered her head and showed a straight face to this sister for the first time.

"Didn't you hear what Uncle Hu just said? The money eldest sister gave him is enough to buy a lot of food. Besides, it may not be the best choice for him to follow us."

Her last words were addressed to Wang Liang.

Even though he was wearing the same clothes as a refugee and had a lot of dirt on his face, judging from the brief exchange just now, her intuition told her that the child in front of her was not from an ordinary family.

She doesn't want to mess with such people.

Besides, there are so many people around her who need to be protected, who knows if she will cause any trouble.

"This is the most money I can give. If you don't want it, forget it. Ji Yue, let's go."
