Chapter 2 Dilemma
At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and the visibility was even worse after entering the forest, less than three meters.

Li Qingxuan groped forward, looking up from time to time to look around and above his head, in case there were any secret whistles that the bandits hadn't left yet.

After dawdling, it took him a while to come to the edge of the forest.

The woods were small and empty.

He looked up to those bandits, but because he walked cautiously and slowly, he suffered from the wind and rain.

Li Qingxuan didn't show any regrets.

In his previous life, he also thought that he was safe after escaping from abroad, so he relaxed his vigilance and planned to start his life again through the backhand he had prepared before, but he disappeared that day.

God is merciful, let him live another life in another world.

In this life, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious!
After delaying this time, the sky has completely dimmed.

Li Qingxuan leaned against a big tree on the outermost edge, squinting his eyes to see the erratic flames floating a dozen meters ahead.

By the light of the fire, you can see a pavilion with wooden boards patchworked on both sides, which does not block the wind, but only shelters from the rain.

In the previous memory, there was only a rough fence around Lijia Village, and the pavilion should have been built by the bandits themselves this afternoon.

The side of the pavilion facing the woods is not covered, and people can be vaguely seen inside.

Li Qingxuan endured the cold, closed his eyes, recalled the terrain of the village, bent his body, and touched it through the blind spot of his vision.

Within five meters, Li Qingxuan could see clearly by the light of the fire.

There were two people in the pavilion, huddled together, roasting the fire, and at the same time, meat was roasting on the fire rack.

The fat of the meat was very high, dripping down the fire from time to time, splashing a bunch of sparks.

Seeing this, Li Qingxuan subconsciously licked his lips.

He was very hungry, and half a dry biscuit was no use.

Li Qingxuan endured the heavy rain and cold, clenching his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly under the muddy water.

Although he had guessed for a long time, seeing all this with his own eyes still shocked him a little.

Li Qingxuan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, and regained his composure.

Exposure to a cold environment for a long time, the human body is prone to hypothermia, especially children like myself who are not well-nourished, who cannot withstand the continuous invasion of cold rain.

Time is life to him now!

Li Qingxuan began to look around the pavilion, observing the surrounding environment by the light of the fire, and at the same time, under the stimulation of life and death, his mind was spinning rapidly.

Inside the pavilion is a fence about two meters high.

It's just that the fence is dilapidated, and there is a large piece missing within Li Qingxuan's field of vision. The gap should be caused by bandits rushing into the village today.

I don't know what's the point of having this temporary pavilion. After all, in the dark night, the firelight can't help them see the existence in the dark except to expose them.

But for Li Qingxuan, this is an opportunity to sneak in!
Covered by the sound of wind and rain, he crawled forward, approached the fence, and groped for the gap that allowed him to go in.

Next to it is the pavilion outside the fence. If you get close, you can still hear the conversation between the two inside.

"The south is good, and it hasn't become chaotic yet, so the brothers have a bite to eat."

"It is also the decisiveness of the head of the family. He led the brothers to escape the blockade and venture across the river. Otherwise, we would not live long with those victims who were ill."

"It's just that our two brothers are unlucky, drawing lots to watch the night, but those bastards are hiding in the sacrificial hall comfortably, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get drenched, and there are women playing"

Li Qingxuan was angry when he heard it, but his movements did not stop. He groped for a suitable gap and slid over.

Without the cover of the fence, a building silhouette hidden in the wind and rain appeared in his field of vision, but except for some light in the center of the village, the rest of the place was pitch black and hard to see.

Li Qingxuan followed his memory and touched towards his left hand.

It was the former home, in the outermost corner of the village.

moment.

A very tiny ray of fire came from a house in the corner of the village, very inconspicuous in the dark wind and rain.

"Fortunately, these thieves have not occupied Lijia Village for a long time. They just searched briefly and did not find the food hidden by their predecessor's mother."

Li Qingxuan stuffed the dry biscuits he had hidden into the earthen pot, took some rainwater and put them on the fire to cook. After finishing all this, he took off his clothes a little exhausted, and sat by the fire to warm up.

He is in his kitchen now.

There were fire pockets, food, and wood and hay for the winter. He also found a small skinning knife, which was still sharp.

In this position, it is unlikely that the fire will be discovered.

Moreover, he was a little dizzy now, his body was weak, and the cold was entering his body. Without the warmth of the fire, he probably wouldn't be able to survive tonight.

Gudong~
The hot cake soup ran across his throat, dispelling the chill in Li Qingxuan's body.

"Whoo~"

After he was seventy percent full, he put down the crock wrapped in clothes, and let out a long breath of hot air contentedly.

"It's good to be alive."

Li Qingxuan got up and walked around the small kitchen, while exercising his body, resisting the drowsiness and fatigue coming from his body, while thinking about how to survive next.

"According to what the bandits at the entrance of the village said, they also just escaped from the north."

Thinking of this, he frowned.

Although the predecessor was only eight years old, the children of poor families matured early, helped the family early, and knew a little about the surrounding area.

Lijia Village is surrounded by barren mountains and mountains, and it is dozens of miles away from the nearest county seat. It is a remote place, far away from official roads.

This kind of place is a good foothold for those bandits who have just come here.

Li Qingxuan sighed.

The village is so big, it's okay to hide for five or six days with the food hidden by the previous mother. After a long time, it will definitely be discovered.

And now those bandits haven't settled down yet, and after they settle down and start to get familiar with their surroundings, he has no place to hide.

Li Qingxuan shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

The best way in front of him was to take advantage of the fact that there was still food, leave the village before dawn, rush to the county town, and report the bandit incident to the government.

But there are three serious problems here.

First, the wind and rain outside do not know when to 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 carry such a long road.

Third, I have only heard about the location of the county seat in my predecessor, but I have never been there!

Staying and leaving, the hope of surviving is too slim.

Time passed little by little.

Li Qingxuan frowned more and more tightly.

He really couldn't think of what he would do to solve the current predicament under such circumstances.

"Am I going to die again?"

woohoo~
The cold wind and cold rain outside became more and more rampant, squeezing in through the crack of the door, blowing the flames on the fire and making Li Qingxuan shrink back subconsciously.

In this weather, adults can't bear it even after going out for a long time.

In the memory of the predecessor, this period of the year is the most difficult period of time, and it will get colder and colder in the future.
Ok?
Li Qingxuan raised his head abruptly.

He thought of the vitality.

Maybe, he can kill those bandits!
