163 Breaking Out!

“Don’t think too much about it,”

Lin Suisui actually knew that these words were not very convincing, but in order to let Yuan Niang recuperate in peace, she still advised her seriously, “When the time comes, even if we want to leave, we will definitely leave with you!”

“Madam Liu, if I leave now, I’ll only be a burden to you!”

Yuan Niang shook her head gently and raised her hand to take out the small package under her pillow again. She handed it to Lin Suisui. “This is all the savings I can take out now. Madam Liu, don’t be in a hurry to refuse.

I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I can’t just focus on myself.

“I don’t have any other requests. I just hope that you can help An’er find a reliable family and take care of her while she grows up. Let her marry into a well-off family. Her living a harmonious and peaceful life is my greatest wish!”

“I don’t want it!” Lin Suisui pushed the package back without thinking. She looked at her resentfully and said angrily, “I didn’t spend all my effort to save you and your daughter so that you could say disheartening things in front of me!

I’m already exhausted from taking care of your health. You still want me to continue helping you take care of your daughter for the rest of my life? Dream on!

“Let me tell you, if you want your daughter to be safe for the rest of her life, you can worry about these things yourself! If you really commit suicide, I’ll throw your daughter into the wilderness to feed the wolves!”

Lin Suisui’s words were spoken quickly and anxiously, and they were not pleasant to the ear. However, Yuan Niang wasn’t angry. Instead, she smiled at Lin Suisui and continued, “But Madam Liu, you’re not such a person!

If you really want to feed An’er to the wolves, you can take this money and agree immediately. Then, you can just throw An’er away! You can take money and exchange it for a good reputation. Why not?!

I know what you’re worried about. I won’t give up unless I have no choice!

“But if anything really happens, please help me and try your best to save An’er’s life, okay?!”

“If there’s really no other choice, if I can survive, I’ll definitely fulfill your request! But if you give up so easily, I’ll definitely feed An’er to the wolves! I won’t let you die in peace!”

Lin Suisui said angrily and turned to leave with Little White.

Lin Suisui didn’t know how Pei Qian did it. In any case, not long after night fell, the patrol camp fell completely silent. Lu Ze was called away by Pei Qian at the last minute. There was no big commotion that night. When Lin Suisui woke up the next morning to check on the injured, there were no longer any soldiers from the patrol camp!

“Pei Qian arranged another place and moved those people over!” Lu Ze explained to Lin Suisui in a low voice, “Doctor Zhuang and his daughter were captured by Pei Qian and interrogated for the entire night. Doctor Zhuang is very stubborn and hasn’t confessed yet. On the contrary, it only took a little intimidation to get Zhu Qing to confess.”

It turned out that this pair wasn’t a real father and daughter.

Zhu Qing was an orphan raised by Doctor Zhuang since she was young.

Although Doctor Zhuang usually avoided letting Zhu Qing know about these things, after interacting with each other for so many years, there were naturally times when he revealed flaws.

In the past, it would have been fine, but at this moment of crisis, in order to survive, Zhu Qing naturally didn’t care about their father-daughter relationship anymore. She was even willing to fabricate some excuse to make Pei Qian could let her off the hook.

“From the clues Pei Qian has, there’s no doubt that Doctor Zhuang is a spy for the northern barbarians.”

After Lu Ze introduced what had happened last night, he continued to say to Lin Suisui, “Now, we just have to see if Dong Ping is involved.”

“But Doctor Zhuang has to confess first!” Lin Suisui sighed.

If Doctor Zhuang continued to stay silent, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to Dong Ping for the time being.

This way, after two days, when the soldiers in the patrol camp woke up, it would be a huge problem for them.

“Don’t worry. With Pei Qian around, Doctor Zhuang won’t be able to last long.”

Lu Ze wasn’t too concerned about this matter. As he escorted Lin Suisui to the tent where the injured were being settled, he looked around.

Lin Suisui didn’t ask further, but the wait was especially torturous.

Another day passed peacefully.

Many refugees, who were originally nervous because of the previous battle, also relaxed. They originally thought that it was something dire, but now, it seemed that it was just a group of bold mountain bandits. Since the mountain bandits had already been killed previously, they naturally were not in any danger anymore.

However, in contrast to the relaxed refugees, the soldiers protecting the safety of the refugee camp didn’t show any signs of relaxation.

They were even more nervous and vigilant than before!

However, even if the defense was so tight, what would come would still come!

The northern barbarians clearly didn’t have enough people now, but the remaining batch were all elites!

Of course, this wasn’t the worst thing. The news that had been sent back previously was wrong. There were not only four to five hundred northern barbarians who had sneaked in, but also secret sentries who had sneaked in and spread out in the north!

In this way, the number of northern barbarians who secretly came to ambush the camp at night actually exceeded 2,000!

“Mr. Pei, we can’t hold on much longer!” Qian He rushed into the camp covered in blood and said anxiously to Pei Qian, who was standing in the tent and looking at the map, “Are you…”

“Let’s go find Gu Erlang and the others!”

Pei Qian put away the map. Dressed in military attire, he walked to the side and pulled out a torch. Then, he raised his hand and threw the torch into the low couch where he was resting.

The flames instantly enveloped the entire couch…

Pei Qian didn’t hesitate at all. He left the tent and rushed towards Lin Suisui and the others.

Knowing that it was only a matter of time before the refugee camp was attacked, Lu Ze, Lin Suisui, and the others were already prepared! However, they clearly couldn’t bring Aunt Luo and the others along on this trip.

“Bring what food you can and protect Yuan Niang and her daughter as you guys go up the eastern mountain! Brother, do you still remember the cave we found when we entered the mountain previously?! We’ll hide inside for the time being. When the reinforcements come, you’ll be saved!”

Lu Ze suppressed his voice and used the fastest speed to explain the things to take note of when escaping.
