Chapter 233 Hiding in the Cave

When the little boy saw the two of them, his expression changed drastically. Then, he suddenly turned around and ran back into the house, closing the door behind him.

The battered door that was shaking non-stop seemed like it was going to collapse in any second.

Then, they saw a little head sneakily looking at them from the wooden window in the living room.

“Tsk— Tang Li snorted and deliberately said loudly,” This little thief is actually afraid. Should we just cripple his hand so that he won’t cause trouble for others?”.

When the little boy heard that, he immediately disappeared.

At this moment, a loud cough came from the right side of the house. The cough sounded like it was covered by an earthen jar. It was buzzing and made people uncomfortable.

“Lung consumption, long-term malnutrition, gastric atrophy, and a lot of wrong medicine.”

Qi Yihan looked at Tang Li in surprise and asked, “Is it treatable?”

“It is, but the condition is that he has the money to recuperate.”

Qi Yihan stopped talking. Judging from the environment, they definitely didn’t have the money.

Tang Li tugged at Qi Yihan’s hand. “Yihan, let’s go.”

They were not Bodhisattvas and did not have the heart to save all living things. They were already very kind to not punish the boy for stealing their money.

The two of them went back the way they came.

After they walked away, the door was opened. The boy stood under the eaves and looked at the two people walking away. He pursed his lips, thinking about something. The next day, after Qi Yihan’s men picked up the braised food, they set out immediately. They sat in the car all morning until noon.

Half of the mountains here belonged to the Empire, and the other half belonged to the neighboring country. Because the terrain was rugged and the area of the mountain was too big, there were many natives scattered everywhere.

Mrs. Guo reminded Tang Li again, “We’ll have to pass a very rapid river and a canyon that is covered in fog all year round. At the end, we might have to walk, so you have to be mentally prepared.”

She was afraid that the two people from the city would not be able to adapt to this harsh condition here and would quit halfway.

Tang Li knew what she was worried about and said, “It’s alright. I’ll just take it as a mountain adventure.”

She then looked at Qi Yihan and asked, “Yihan, have you been to such a steep mountain before?”

“Yes.”

Tang Li was surprised by that. She thought that CEO was either sitting in the CEO’s office or on the plane.

Seeing her expression, Qi Yihan told her, “I participated in the mountain adventure team back in high school.”

“Huh?!”

She really couldn’t tell.

However, Tang Li was relieved.

After getting out of the car, the horses were all prepared.

Mrs. Guo and a dozen or so border guards tied their luggage to the horses, and each of them carried a medium-sized hiking bag.

Tang Li and Qi Yihan each walked to a horse.

Tang Li touched the brownish-red horse and said to Qi Yihan, “This horse looks good.”

Qi Yihan nodded and asked, “Do you want me to help you up?” When Tang Li, who was about to get on the horse, heard that, she immediately nodded at him. “Yes.”

Qi Yihan walked to her side and helped her get on the horse.

After everyone got on their horses, they set out.

There were not many families at the foot of the mountain here. At the entrance of the mountain, the road was kind of passable because it was traversed quite frequently by the villagers going up and down the mountain. However, the deeper they got, the harder it was to walk. The horses slowed down.

Tang Li asked, “How long will it take us to get there under normal circumstances?”

“It will take at least three days,” Mrs. Guo said. “If it rains, it will take longer.”

Tang Li nodded. She wasn’t worried about time but the weather. Looking up at the sky, she said, “There should be a thunderstorm tonight.”

Mrs. Guo trusted Tang Li absolutely. She knew that Tang Li had the ability to do so, so she frowned as well. “Then we have to hurry up. At the very least, we have to cross that river. Otherwise, when the river rises, we’ll have to wait for the water to recede before we can cross it.”

Everyone agreed that no matter how bumpy the mountain road was, they would have to speed up the horse.

At around 11 pm, it started pouring heavily.

Luckily, they had already crossed the especially rapid river.

Other than Tang Li and Qi Yihan, the group of people were familiar with the terrain of the mountain. They found a relatively large cave to rest in.

Even if the cave was very large, it was impossible to fit more than ten horses. Everyone split into three groups and found three caves nearby.

Tang Li, Qi Yihan, and the Guo family stayed in a cave.

Mrs. Guo specially brought a blanket with her. First, she found some dry leaves to spread on the ground and then spread the blanket on the leaves. After letting Yuan Yuan sit, she asked Tang Li and Qi Yihan, “Mr. and Mrs. Qi, I brought many kinds of compressed biscuits and canned food. What do you want to eat?”

Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at each other. Tang Li said, “We brought cooked food.”

Then, under Mrs. Guo’s shocked gaze, she took out cooked food from an ordinary-looking bag.

Among them were two bowls of hot noodles.

Mrs. Guo suddenly turned to Qi Yihan and asked in surprise, “Mr. Qi, did your research institute already have the technology of medium space?”

Qi Yihan knew what Mrs. Guo meant and nodded without bothering to explain.

Mrs. Guo thought that Tang Li’s bag was the medium space developed by the research institute.

Tang Li did not explain. After taking out the food, Mrs. Guo fed Yuan Yuan first before she started eating

At this moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside the cave. It was raining heavily and it was dark.

There was a pile of fire in the cave. Through the light of the fire, one could see that the branches outside were swaying, giving off a sinister and scary feeling. Qi Yihan asked Tang Li, “When will this rain stop?”

Tang Li picked up a tree branch and scratched the ground before answering, “It should be at five or six in the morning.”

Mrs. Guo finished the meal. She first put all the bones in the disposable box. After taking them out and throwing them away, she came back and said to Tang Li, “In this kind of weather, wild beasts will probably sneak in to find shelter. I brought something to keep the beasts away. Later, I’ll put it by the entrance so that we can have a good night’s sleep.”

With that, she went to get it and put it by the entrance.

Tang Li and Qi Yihan did not stop her.

Mrs. Guo laid on the side with Yuan Yuan, while Tang Li and Qi Yihan sat on the other side.

Outside the cave, it was raining cats and dogs. Tang Li leaned against Qi Yihan’s chest and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly sensed movement outside. She suddenly opened her eyes.
