Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong also quickly checked Liu Dalang’s injuries. The wound was still bleeding, and the medicine was almost gone.

Liu Dalang was still moaning in pain while being unconscious.

Zhang Qiang frowned. “That arrowhead is specially made. It can crush the flesh and make rhe wound bleed non-stop. If it’s pulled out, a large piece of flesh will be taken away. The wound is extremely difficult to heal. If the reinforcements don’t find us in two days, I’m afraid General Liu won’t be able to make it.”

Xu Dong also frowned. “Our reinforcements will definitely come.”

Zhang Qiang lowered his eyes and fell silent. He hoped so.

Zhang Qiang looked at rhe children. “’Thankyou.”

If not for rhe fact that these children were kind-hearted, they would not have been able to find such a good place to hide. They were too tired to carry Liu Dalang and had just experienced a fierce battle. Sooner or later, they would collapse.

The boy in the lead looked at Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong. ’Did you fight the Jin soldiers?”

Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong nodded. “’We didn’t know that there were still people on this mountain. If we did, we wouldn’t have gone up the mountain.”

The boy looked at Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong and said calmly, “There are only a few of us on the mountain.”

Zhang Qiang was stunned. “What… are your names?”

“My name is Zhao Sisi. This is my sister, Zhao Xiu’er. He’s Zhao Zheng and that’s his cousin, Zhao Yuan.”

The boy in rhe lead was called Zhao Zheng. He did not speak. The girl beside him introduced herself timidly.

The Zhao clan lived on this mountain. Ever since the Jin army came, almost everyone in rhe Zhao clan was slaughtered. It was nor easy for the children to survive.

The war forced them to grow up and be mature. If not for the fact that they eavesdropped on Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong’s conversation, they would not have come out.

Zhao Zheng looked at the unconscious Liu Dalang and said calmly, “The wormwood on the mountain can stop the bleeding. I’ll go get it for you.”

Zhao Zheng was the oldest of the four children. When he spoke, the others subconsciously nodded.

Zhao Sisi nodded and said, “It’s very easy to find the wormwood. This uncle’s wound is still bleeding. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, he won’t be able to hold on.”

Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong naturally felt bad about letting the children risk their lives for them, but they really did not know anything about herbs.

Xu Dong stopped Zhao Zheng and said, “Tell me what the wormwood looks like. We’ll find it ourselves. There are Jin soldiers searching us all over the mountain. It’s too risky for you to go out.”

Zhao Zheng looked at Xu Dong sincerely and persistently. “I’m familiar with the terrain. I won’t go far. If you’re nor familiar with it, you’re more likely to encounter the Jin soldiers.”

Xu Dong felt a lump in his throat. The child who had just reached his chest was as calm as an adult. The maturity he exuded made people feel bad about him.

Xu Dong patted Zhao Zheng’s thin shoulder. “Be careful on the way. Your life is the most important.”

Zhao Zheng quickly climbed up through the vines.

After he left, Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong sat down to rest.

Zhao Sisi, Zhao Xiu’er, and Zhao Yuan sat side by side, looking at Liu Dalang worriedly.

In a daze, Liu Dalang muttered, “Water…”

Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong heard it, and so did Zhao Sisi. Before Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong could speak, she went to rhe wooden bucket beside her to fetch some water.

Zhang Qiang took it and carefully fed it to Liu Dalang.

Zhao Sisi looked ar Zhang Qiang worriedly. “Uncle, will he recover?”

Liu Dalang’s face was pale, and the wound on his back was still bleeding. Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong didn’t know if Liu Dalang could make it either. They had gone through thick and thin with Liu Dalang many times these days. With tears in their eyes, they choked and said, “As long as he s still alive, we won’t give up on him.”

As long as he was not dead, they would never give up.

Zhao Sisi sighed. “Will people really go to the heavens after they die? In rhe past, Mother always said that after people die, they will become stars in the sky. This way, they can always look at their family.”

Zhang Qiang reached our and patted Zhao Sisi’s head. “Your mother is right. She’s not lying to you. When we chase rhe Jin soldiers away, you don’t have to hide anymore.”

Zhao Sisi smiled. “Thank you, Uncle, but my mother didn’t tell me if 1 miss her, how can 1 see her. We often cry and miss our parents.”

Tears streamed down Xu Dong’s face. He wiped his face. “Jin soldiers are all animals.”

The children who were lucky enough to survive had watched their families die in front of them.

At night, they would often be frightened awake by the nightmare.

Zhao Xiu’er and Zhao Yuan were the youngest and had already fallen asleep, leaning against each other.

Zhao Sisi handed the biscuits to Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong. “Are you hungry?”

Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong shook their heads. “We re not hungry.”

The sky was already dark. If nothing went wrong, reinforcements would arrive tomorrow at the latest. They could tolerate not eating or drinking for the night.

Zhao Sisi obediently walked to the side and sat down.

Not long after, Zhao Zheng returned with a handful of wormwood leaves. He was in a sorry state. He handed the wormwood leaves to Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong and said, “Crush the leaves and apply it on the wound.”

Zhao Zheng looked at Zhao Sisi. Zhao Sisi smiled at him. Zhao Yuan and Zhao Xiu’er were asleep. He lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “Uncles, I just saw Jin soldiers. 1 heard them say that they want to release dogs to search the mountain.”

It would be very easy for trained dogs to find them.

The Jin soldiers were only looking for them. As long as they left, rhe children would be safe.

Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong immediately frowned. Liu Dalang was still unconscious. The two of them looked at each other and said to Zhao Zheng solemnly, “Child, don’t worry. Once we hear a dog barking, we’ll immediately leave. This place is hidden. As long as you don’t come out, you’ll be safe.”

Zhao Zheng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

Zhao Zheng walked towards Zhao Sisi and sat down beside her.

Zhang Qiang crushed the leaves and applied it to Liu Dalang’s wound..
