How can we fight in Chapter 287?
At the same time, Lin Caiye recognized the man; he was Luo Shiren, the dean of Longxing Academy.
"Dean Luo? What are you doing here?"
Lin Cai knelt down in front of Luo Shiren and then saw clearly that her once refined and clean-cut teacher was now disheveled and unkempt.
What he was holding in his arms was not something else, but a child, a three- or four-year-old child.
When Luo Shiren saw that it really was Lin Cai, he grabbed Lin Cai and cried, "Save him, save him, I beg you to save him..."
"He is a poor child and my only family. He is all I have left. Please, I beg you, save him."
Hearing these words of pleading, Lin Cai felt a mix of emotions. She glanced at the child and touched his forehead.
"The child has a fever, and I don't have any medicine here. We need to leave first..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shiren immediately nodded: "Alright, alright, let's leave now, let's go find the medicine now..."
He picked up the child as he spoke, but because he hadn't eaten for a long time, his steps were a little unsteady, and he almost fell down with the child when he stood up while holding him.
Fortunately, Lin Cai caught the child in time and took him from her: "Let me hold the child first, we'll go down the mountain first."
Luo Shiren readily agreed upon hearing this, and just as they were about to leave, someone stood up behind them and asked, "Could you take us with you?"
"We want to leave too, can you take us with you?"
The sounds grew louder and louder, filling the entire cave. Lin Cai wanted to refuse them, but just then Lin Bao walked in from outside.
"Hurry up, little sister, or we'll be discovered soon."
When he came in and saw the people inside, he was startled. There were just too many people!
"What's going on? Why are there so many people? It doesn't seem to be the village chief and his group. Since it's not them, let's hurry up and leave, or we'll be in trouble if we're discovered."
Upon hearing this, the people behind became even more restless.
"Take us with you! Let us go with you! We'll be good and won't be a burden!"
"Please, let us come with you. We'll be good and won't cause you any trouble..."
The voices behind them rose and fell, all wanting to go with them. Lin Bao heard this and wanted to refuse, because with so many people, they simply couldn't guarantee their safety.
Lin Cai handed the child to Lin Bao, then turned to look at them: "It's not that I don't want to take you with me, but I can't guarantee your safety."
"There are only three of us here today. If you want to leave, we'll leave together. But if we're discovered, none of us might be able to leave, and we might even lose our lives. Even so, do you still want to come with us?"
After she finished speaking, everyone fell silent. But their silence didn't last long. Just when Lin Cai thought they wouldn't give an answer, she heard someone say, "I'm willing. I'm willing to go with you."
"Staying here will kill me, but leaving here might not kill me. I want to go out and take a chance. Don't worry, I will never blame you, no matter what the outcome is."
Once one takes the lead, others become less afraid and all say they want to follow.
Seeing that they had all made up their minds, Lin Cai didn't want to say anything more. She asked Lin Bao to give her the child, and then Lin Bao carried Luo Shiren and the others out of the cave.
The snow was still falling outside. As they walked, they left a series of messy footprints. They returned the way they had come.
But as soon as they got there, the "living map" noticed something was wrong. He told the people behind him to stop and then told Lin Cai that something was amiss.
Then he led them to another road, but this living map truly lived up to its name, finding another road that was quite hidden.
Moreover, after the people behind left, they deliberately made their footprints even more messy, so that the people behind could not tell whether it was people walking on them or something else that had walked on them.
They circled half of Snakehead Mountain, and as soon as they reached this side, they saw that torches had been lit on the other side of the mountain.
Seeing that they had lit the torches, Lin Bao quickly ordered his men and those following behind to put them out.
Upon hearing his words, the people behind him did not hesitate at all and immediately extinguished the torches.
After extinguishing the torches, all that remained was darkness, and they could only rely on the person in front of them to lead the way, slowly groping their way down the mountain.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they could even hear the sounds coming from the other side. Some of them were so afraid of being discovered that tears streamed down their faces.
But they all covered their mouths, trying not to cry out, and even put their hands in their mouths to prevent themselves from making a sound.
After finally getting away from those sounds, they didn't relax. Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they heard a wolf howl.
The sound startled everyone behind her. When Lin Cai heard the wolf howl, she knew that Big Gray had come looking for her. Sure enough, as soon as she called out to Big Gray, those green eyes immediately appeared in front of her.
The man in front, who was walking like a map, was startled and almost fell to the ground. He saw with his own eyes the huge wolf pass by him and then go up to the woman behind him and start acting up.
That's right, it was a tantrum. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could hear the sound, which was like something scraping against the ground.
Lin Cai sensed the movement beside her skirt and gently kicked it with her foot: "Why are you getting lost? The ground is so dirty, you'll get your fur dirty in a minute, and then I won't touch you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big gray dog on the ground immediately got up and let out a howl, though there seemed to be a hint of grievance in its voice.
Those who were nearby were so frightened by the sound that they dared not move. They knew that wolves were man-eaters and carnivores.
In the past, when faced with a situation like this, they would either run away quickly or grab tools to fight the wolves. But now the wolves are right in front of them, and it seems they were raised by their savior. How can they fight them now?
After being kicked, Big Gray howled twice and immediately ran to the front, biting the pant leg of the living map with its teeth, and then pulled it forward.
Once the living map sensed this, it was terrified that the wolf leader might accidentally bite its leg. If it were bitten on the leg now, it would be doomed!
In the pitch-black night, with Big Grey leading the way, the journey became much smoother. They arrived at the foot of the mountain, and looking back, they could still faintly see the light of the torches above.
