Chapter 249 A false alarm

249
"Father~~" Ke Hanxue took the opportunity to shout coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, just stay there if you want, there's really nothing you can do about it!" Ke Shuisheng said helplessly.

Ke Hanxue grinned: "Thank you dad."

"Brother, you and Dafu are tired after driving all day, why don't you and the second brother squat on the bullock cart first, and I will stare at Tongsuo first." Ke Baosheng said.

Ke Shuisheng thought for a while before answering: "Alright."

Perhaps because of his age, Ke Shuisheng was really tired after driving for a day and being nervous.

Seeing Ke Shuisheng and the others sleeping on the ox cart, Ke Hanxue hurriedly went back to the house and took a quilt she brought to cover them. Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year, the ox cart was surrounded and slept in the Sleeping in a bullock cart is similar to sleeping in a house.

Ke Hanxue sat outside another bullock cart, looking up at the sky, thinking that he would see Ge Yunzhang soon, and felt a little happy.

But when he thought of the shopkeeper being arrested by officers and soldiers, and his life and death were uncertain, Ke Hanxue couldn't help but worry again.

I don't know how those officers and soldiers will treat the shopkeeper, whether they will torture him?He is so old, how can he stand the punishment?
If something happened to the shopkeeper, how would she explain to Ge Yunzhang?

Because she was worried about the safety of the shopkeeper, Ke Hanxue was not in the mood to sleep, until her father woke up, and Ke Hanxue withdrew her thoughts.

"Brother, there seems to be some movement!" Ke Baosheng suddenly jumped out of the bullock cart with a soft drink, and looked around vigilantly.

As soon as Ke Baosheng finished speaking, the dogs in Orion's house barked again, followed by several big men who ran out of the house.

"Big brother, is there a beast coming?" Ke Xisheng also nervously climbed out of the bullock cart.

The big men didn't answer Ke Xisheng, but looked around cautiously, stretched their ears and listened for a while, then smiled and said, "It's okay, it's the howling of a wolf."

"Wolf?!" Ke Shuisheng and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do?"

"It should be one or two left behind, it's okay." After the big man finished speaking, he went back to the room.

Ke Hanxue also listened carefully. It seemed that there was some animal cry, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Uncle, your hearing is really good." Ke Hanxue couldn't help smiling and said to Ke Baosheng.

Ke Baosheng smiled embarrassedly: "Maybe I'm too nervous."

The members of the Kemeng family in the room also opened the door when they heard the sound, and asked in horror: "Is there a beast coming?"

"No, it was a false alarm, go back to sleep." Ke Shuisheng comforted.

When the few people heard that it was all right, they went back to the house with concern.

"Baosheng, you and Tongsuo should also sleep for a while." Ke Shuisheng said, he was so frightened that he was so frightened.

"Okay, big brother, then I'll squint for a while."

"Xue'er, are you cold?" Ke Shuisheng said as he was about to take off his coat.

"Father, I'm wearing two layers of clothes. It's not cold." Ke Hanxue stopped his father's movements.

Ke Shuisheng looked at the bottomless black mountains in the distance, sighed, and said in a puzzled way: "What a disaster, why did we flee for no reason?"

Ke Hanxue pursed her lips, thought for a while, and asked, "Father, do you know who those officers and soldiers are looking for?"

"Isn't it the person in the portrait?"

"Father, do you know who is in the portrait?"

"I don't know, I didn't look at it." After Ke Shuisheng finished speaking, he suddenly looked at his daughter and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the person in the portrait?"

"Father, those officers and soldiers are looking for dumb people!" Ke Hanxue also said in a low voice.

"It's him?" Ke Shuisheng's eyes widened: "Who is this dumb guy? Why did those officers and soldiers look for him?"

"I don't know either." Ke Hanxue frowned.

Ge Yunzhang seemed to be an old acquaintance with the mute, but when he asked him about the mute last time, he seemed very angry and refused to ask himself.

Those officers and soldiers took the shopkeeper away because the mute worked in the restaurant, or because Ge Yunzhang knew the mute?
"If those officers and soldiers knew that the mute had lived in Shuihe Village, would they find Shuihe Village?" Ke Shuisheng asked worriedly.

"Father, in Shuihe Village, only we and Ge's family have contact with the mute. Even if those officers and soldiers find Shuihe Village, the villagers will be fine."

Ke Hanxue knew what his father was worried about, but what if the officers and soldiers came, the people in the village didn't know the whereabouts of the mute, could they still kill the whole village?
"I hope the folks are all right!" Ke Shuisheng sighed sadly, and stared at the distant mountains in a daze again.

That night, everyone didn't sleep well, so they got up early in the morning. Ke Hanxue scooped out some of the rice he brought, borrowed Orion's pot to cook two pots of porridge, and took out the pickles he brought. Invite the hunters to have breakfast together.

Seeing Orion's daughter-in-law and several children eating happily, Ke Zhong and others also laughed.

After breakfast, Ke Zhong took out two more bacon as a thank you gift for taking everyone in.

"Isn't it just a convenience, there is nothing to thank. Besides, we are hunters, so there is no shortage of meat." The older man said with a smile.

They haven't eaten rice for a long time, and they are already satisfied with a bowl of porridge today, so I am embarrassed to accept their thank you.

"Brothers, this bacon is different from the meat you eat, you should keep it." Ke Zhong said and put the bacon into the hands of one of the women.

The woman looked at the meat in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said shyly: "Sister, we really don't need this meat, if you really want to thank us, why don't you give us some rice, okay?" ?”

Ke Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay!"

Several big men saw their daughter-in-law drooling over the rice, and they all looked embarrassed, but they thought that their daughter-in-law and children hadn't eaten rice for a long time, after thinking about it, they still didn't speak to stop it.

Mrs. Ke Zhong filled a large bowl of rice for each of them. The women were very excited with the rice and thanked Mrs. Ke Zhong.

Ke Zhong's family was also embarrassed. They were supposed to thank these hunters for taking them in. Why is it the other way around now?

Several big men led Ke Shuisheng and others out of the deep mountain, pointed out a better way for them to walk, and went back to the mountain.

"Father, we have already walked out of Xiangsang Town, so we should not take the path. If we go into the deep mountains again, we don't know if we will be so lucky to meet someone willing to take us in next time. It's too dangerous." Ke Han Snow frowned and said.

Ke Hanxue was thinking, don't hide in the belly of the beast before being caught by the officers and soldiers, it would be too much to lose.

"Xue'er is right, it's better to take the remote path instead of the mountain road." Ke Mengshi also had lingering fears.
