This gesture was very intimate and ambiguous, but Lin Yueru couldn't care less about it.
She woke up instantly.
Although she strained her ears and couldn't hear any sound, she had no doubt about Han Yanqing's words.
"Can you tell how many people there are, what direction they are coming from, and how far away they are from us?"
Han Yanqing pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, then firmly pointed in the direction they came from.
"They came from that way. There should be three or four people riding horses and leaving us..."
Han Yanqing suddenly got stuck.
He didn't know how to describe this distance.
Lin Yueru thoughtfully changed her question, "Do you think you are far away from us?"
"Not far! We'll be there in a moment!"
Lin Yueru frowned.
She always felt that the visitor was evil.
It is definitely not an ordinary person who can still have a horse at this time!
Not to mention riding a horse all night long.
This thing sounds weird!
After confirming with Han Yanqing again, Lin Yueru crept aside and woke up Mrs. Han.
It had been several days since she fled the country, and she hadn't had a full night's sleep. Mrs. Han was sleeping in a daze when she suddenly felt like someone was patting her hand in her dream.
She opened her eyes irritably and wanted to curse a few times.
What caught his eye was Lin Yueru's pretty little face.
The old lady couldn't help but be startled.
Her voice became gentle unconsciously, "Girl Ru, what's wrong? Why don't you fall asleep?"
When Lin Yueru saw her waking up, she leaned over and whispered.
"Mom, Yan Qing said that someone is riding towards us on horseback. I always feel uneasy, so I can only tell you."
When Mrs. Han heard this, she suddenly felt no longer sleepy. She turned over and sat up.
"What?! Someone is riding over here in the middle of the night? Are you listening, Fourth Brother?!"
Han Yanqing nodded vigorously, "You heard it right, someone is riding a horse and coming from that way!"
When Old Mrs. Han saw that he was pointing in the direction he came from during the day, her face became a little sad.
Riding a horse here in the middle of the night, even if it wasn't for them, it must be up to no good!
The old lady made a quick decision and woke up the whole family.
What Lin Yueru liked most was Mrs. Han's decisiveness. When she saw that she was paying more attention to her, she quietly retreated to the side.
Everyone was a little dazed when they were woken up.
When I looked up, I saw that it was still early before dawn, and when I closed my eyes, I wanted to fall asleep.
"Mom, isn't it still early? It's not too late for us to sleep a little longer before we start our journey!"
Mrs. Han glared, "Why are you still sleeping? The thieves are catching up from behind!"
"Thieves?!"
"Where is the thief!?"
The drowsiness of Mr. Han and Mr. Han immediately disappeared. They turned over and sat up on the straw mat, their eyes widening as big as a bell.
Zhao Shuangtao and Li Qiumei were no longer sleepy, nervously guarding their children and waiting for their mother-in-law's next words.
Mrs. Han waved her hands calmly.
"Don't worry yet, it's not here yet."
Seeing everyone let out a long sigh of relief, she added unhappily.
"Fourth Brother heard clearly that three or four people were riding horses and coming here along the way we came. Take a look at it for yourselves. What good thing can this be?"
Everyone came back to their senses upon hearing this.
Mrs. Han packed up everything without any prompting, sat down on the straw mat with weapons in hand, and stood ready.
Han Laozi and Han Laoer both held broadswords and sickles in their hands, and Han Yanqing also carried a short knife in his hand.
Under the moonlight, the short sword exudes bursts of cold light, which is definitely extraordinary at first glance!
Seeing her looking at it, Mrs. Han explained softly: "This is what the fourth child carried with him when he came back."
Lin Yueru nodded understandingly.
Because there was no sound for a long time, everyone relaxed their vigilance and took a nap with their children in their arms.
But as Han Yanqing said, "Here we come."
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near outside!
The hearts of everyone in the Han family instantly rose to their throats, and they huddled in the cave without daring to move.
"Uu——"
really!
Several horses were parked outside the cave.
Several people got off their horses and came down with torches to investigate, causing a burst of dissatisfied curses in the cave.
"Who is it?! It's so late at night, no one can sleep!"
Immediately afterwards, someone else recognized these people as the bandits who robbed them in the first place!
There was chaos in the cave!
"It's a bandit! Dad, the bandit is here again——"
"Run! Run away!"
Screams, cries, begging for mercy, the cave suddenly became a mess!
Suddenly, there was a sound of swords piercing the air!
Just heard a strong voice yelling.
"Shut the hell up!"
There was silence in the cave for an instant, and even the crying children had their mouths covered by their family members.
The man glanced around with menacing eyes and said, "Today's matter has nothing to do with you. We are here to find someone! Anyone with young men and women at home should stay and let our brothers go over and check!"
"If you let me know that you dare to harbor people..."
Before he finished speaking, he slashed the arm-thick sapling next to him with his knife, splitting the sapling into two!
Lin Yueru's heart was beating hard.
She finally knew why she was uneasy!
In order to protect themselves that night, she and Han Yanqing teamed up to kill the bandit!
At that time, the crowd was so chaotic that no one could care about them. This is when the bandits came back to their senses and came to settle the score with them!
As the bandits began to search the cave from the other side, Lin Yueru immediately made a decision in her heart.
She grabbed Han Yanqing's hand.
Han Yanqing looked back at her in confusion, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, Yan Qing is here."
Lin Yueru shook her head.
Seeing Mrs. Han looking over, she briefly explained what happened that day and her guess.
After listening, Mrs. Han's face became very ugly.
Her voice trembled, "These eight achievements are for you! Ru girl, this can't be done, you have to run! You take Yan Qing and run!"
Even if she didn't say anything, Lin Yueru had already decided to leave.
Running away now is the best choice, to avoid being attacked by others and to avoid compromising the old Han family.
After looking at Mrs. Han and nodding, she took Han Yanqing's hand and ran out of the cave.
Han Yanqing was puzzled and thought it was his wife who wanted to take him to play, and happily held her hand tightly.
Before everyone in the Han family could react, the two of them had already gotten out of the cave.
Han Laoer said: "Mom? What's going on?!"
"Didn't Ruru girl and Laosi knock out a bandit that day..."
Mrs. Han explained in a low voice while nervously staring at the situation outside.
After hearing what Mrs. Han said, everyone's hearts were clenched.
They couldn't do anything but pray silently in the cave that they could run away and not be discovered by those bandits!
But God does not grant what people wish for!
As soon as Lin Yueru pulled Han Yanqing out of the cave, she ran into a tall bandit holding a torch!
When the bandit saw two people coming out of the cave, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he narrowed his eyes and recognized Lin Yueru.
