At this moment, the broken cave he was hiding in was located under a small slope on the left side of the Tiger Head Mountain plain. It was very hidden.
Many years ago, after the banditry subsided, people often came here to cut down trees and hunt. They used this cave as a habitat to shelter themselves from the wind and rain, as well as to store dry food and prey. Now that no one was hunting, the cave was completely abandoned.
The cave was surrounded by wild grass and unknown thorns, almost covering the entire cave. Not to mention at night, even in the daytime, if one did not come close, one would not be able to discover this hidden cave. It was simply a treasure land with good feng shui. It was not affected by the wind or rain, and it was very hidden. It was simply safe and reliable.
The space in the cave wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was still about 11 or 12 square meters. Although people had to lower their heads when standing inside, they could still survive for a few days with a thick sheepskin coat.
In the past seven days, Li Hai and the able-bodied man called Chen Qiang had changed shifts every three days, taking turns to lurk and defend the place.
Originally, according to Li Yunhao's original plan, he was prepared to let the two of them change every day. However, considering that there were mountain bandits nearby, it would not be good if they frequently came here and were afraid that the bandits would notice them and become vigilant.
Every three days, Li Hai and Chen Qiang would bring dry food and wine and quietly walk along the river. They would take a detour to come here to hand over the goods. After a few rounds of rotation, the bandits of the Tiger Head Stronghold had not appeared for a long time. This made the two people who were hiding and waiting for them feel a little anxious.
They were all wondering if the people from Tiger Head Stronghold would not come. They could not possibly seek revenge on the Li family because of a few small fries! Just as he relaxed his guard, he suddenly heard a noise outside. He immediately looked out and saw a rabbit. It was really scary. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the warning from the instructor during training. He suddenly shivered and did not dare to slack off anymore. He looked out vigilantly and almost forgot the young master's instructions. It was really a sin.
Although Young Master had said that he would reward them handsomely after the training, it would be boring to stay alone in such a godforsaken place every day. There was not even a ghost here. When he was bored, he couldn't find anyone to talk to. The loneliness in his heart was indescribable. He missed the days of training. Although it was hard, every day was full.
Recently, the temperature had plummeted. It was still fine during the day, but at night, Li Hai could not stand the cold. He could only rely on drinking wine to warm himself up. He did not dare to light a fire to keep warm. He did not dare to drink too much wine either, afraid that he would not wake up after drinking too much and fall asleep.
At night, he did not dare to sleep, nor could he sleep soundly. This was because his young master had specially instructed him to rest during the day, but at night, he had to be alert and keep watch. This was because the bandits of the Tiger Head Stockade were very likely to attack the Li family mansion at night. The possibility of them attacking during the day was not high. After all, they did not have that much strength, and they did not dare to attack the Li family openly. They were bandits, not government troops.
Li Hai drank a few mouthfuls of wine and felt his body gradually heat up. He slowly put down the wine bag and leaned against the wall, sighing.
"Sigh…I'm really suffering. My kennel is still the most comfortable. As the saying goes, a nest of gold and silver is not as good as one's own."
"Damn it, after I go back this time, I will definitely ask Young Master to resign and let him replace me, no matter how much money he gives. These days were too boring. It was simply impossible to live. I might as well go back to training."
" Damn Chen Qiang, he's a f * cking animal. He can do whatever he wants. Why didn't he stay away from the cave? Why did he have to poop and pee at the entrance of the cave? It's so smelly. He's really going to die…"
After muttering to himself for a long time, Li Hai felt like urinating, so he crawled out of the cave and prepared to find a place to relieve himself. Unexpectedly, he stepped on Chen Qiang. A pile of feces left behind from the day before yesterday was thick and smelly. It was disgusting. He was so angry that he almost wanted to run back to the Li family and stab that guy's buttocks. People say that they step on dog shit when they go out, but he stepped on human shit when he went out.
" Ah... I'll f * ck your mother, damn Chen Qiang. When you come over the day after tomorrow, I'll slap your face..." Li Hai rubbed his left foot, which was covered in feces, in the grass as if he had gone crazy. He cursed Chen Qiang's ancestors for eighteen generations.
At this moment, the cries of wild birds suddenly came from the nearby Clear Breeze Valley. Immediately after, the sound of flapping wings could be heard from the forest on both sides of the valley.
"Night Bird Flies?"
Li Hai's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly crawled out of the grass and found a flat and clean place. He lay down and listened carefully. In the entire Li family, Li Hai's hearing was the most sensitive. He could hear the sound of horses running ten miles away. Otherwise, Li Yunhao wouldn't have chosen him to lurk here.
After listening for a moment, Li Hai felt that something was wrong.
That was because he could faintly hear the sound of a large number of footsteps running in the direction of the Clear Wind Valley. At the same time, there was also the sound of horse hooves. What made him even more surprised was that he could vaguely hear the sound of metal colliding.
Li Hai was very familiar with this sound. It was a unique sound that would only be made when one was running at high speed with a weapon on his back.
As the voice became clearer and closer, Li Hai was more and more certain of his judgment.
"Not good, the thieves are going to attack the Li family at night! The young master was truly a divine schemer. He had left a backup plan. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable. I have to inform the Li family as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Li Hai's expression changed. He quickly and carefully retreated into the cave and quietly hid in the cave, not moving at all.
When the bandits 'large group gradually disappeared into the distance, he quietly took out the carrier pigeon that he had prepared from the bamboo basket and released it.
The Clear Breeze Valley was 60 miles away from the Li Family. If the bandits from the Tiger Head Stockade were to attack the Li Family Residence at night, they would have to run for at least two hours.
If he sent a messenger pigeon back now, it would probably reach the Li family in at most half an hour. When Zhuang Zi received the news, he would have enough time to prepare for the battle.
"I have to leave this place and rush back to the Li family!”
Thinking of this, Li Hai took a deep breath. Then, he put on a leather coat and carried a crossbow, arrows, and a Mauser rifle pistol with him. He was agile and darted into the night like a cat, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
