Chapter 154 Strange Sound
Although the cave was not too dark because of the fire they had lit, it was still night after all, and people's eyesight was not that good.
Some corners could definitely not be taken care of, so Yu Qingqing had no idea what was going on outside.
She was actually a little scared in her heart, and she didn't know if she had encountered the same thing as she had guessed.
She raised a finger and put it to her mouth, signaling Hua Qinglu and the others not to speak.
She was about to get up and go outside to see what was going on. Hua Qinglu saw that his daughter was going to go in person, and he was definitely worried about her going alone.
So he pulled her sleeve and asked quietly:
"Qing'er, don't worry! We don't know what's going on outside. It's pitch black everywhere now. If you go out like this, it will be very dangerous for you to go out alone.
Your elder brother and father should be a little far away from us, so they won't be able to take care of us for a while.
We are women, and if anything really happens we won’t be able to deal with it. It’s better for us to stay quietly in this cave and not go out yet.
Let’s wait until there is no more noise, because we are not sure what it is.
If it is something dangerous, and you go out like this, wouldn't you be putting yourself in danger?"
Hua Qinglu was trembling as he spoke, but he still analyzed his ideas with Yu Qingqing and asked her not to be too impulsive.
After all, Yu Qingshu and the others were still some distance away from them, and as the saying goes, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.
If they go out like this rashly and something unexpected happens, it would really catch people off guard.
After hearing this, Yu Qingqing also felt that what Hua Qinglu said made sense.
I was really overwhelmed just now, luckily I didn't go out immediately.
If there is really danger, then I would be the stupidest person.
She patted Hua Qinglu's hand to comfort her, and then quietly responded:
"Mom, don't worry, I won't go out! Don't worry, we don't have to go out, we'll stay here.
If an accident really happens, remember to take your brother and sister and run first. I will follow behind to buy you some time.
I don’t know what this sound outside is. I can’t make any sense of it. It’s there and then gone.
So let’s not go out yet and wait until Big Brother and Dad come back.”
Yu Qingqing pulled hard again and turned her ears out of the cave to listen to the noise outside.
There was a rustling sound outside, which came and went.
She didn't know what it was, and her heart was beating fast.
In fact, he was just impulsive just now. If he really rushed out, he would probably regret it.
Yu Qingqing touched the dagger at his waist, ready to pull it out immediately if anything happened.
She acted as if she was ready to charge forward at any time.
Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan, who were standing next to them, were so frightened by the sound that they hugged each other.
On the contrary, Yu Qingli next to him was relatively quiet, mainly because he had fallen asleep.
They were not awakened by the noise outside, so they did not cry. Hua Qinglu turned around and saw that his daughter and sister were so scared.
So they patted their shoulders and comforted them. In fact, she was also very scared in her heart, but she couldn't show it.
If everyone is afraid, then we are really in danger.
No one can escape, there must be a brave person among those people.
No one said anything, but no one dared to lie down and everyone squatted on the ground.
Prepared to rush outside if anything really happened, Yu Qingqing put her ear to the ground, calmed down and listened carefully.
She tried to see if she could hear any noise outside, but after listening for a long time, there was nothing outside.
As I was listening and preparing to get up, I suddenly heard it again. There was indeed some noise, but this noise was different from the previous one.
It felt more like the sound of human footsteps, but the sound was not very loud and she couldn't hear it clearly.
"Mom, I feel like the sound has changed again. The sound just now is gone, and now I hear footsteps.
Do you think it could be Dad and the others coming? Do you think I should call them? If I don’t call them, I’m scared. If I call them, I’m also scared.”
Yu Qingqing wondered in her heart whether it was Yu Qingshu and the others who came.
But she was not sure, because when she looked towards the fire, she did not see anyone.
And the place where she had parked the carriage just now was on the other side of the cave.
The fire could just illuminate the area where it was located, but it couldn't be seen from that position, so she felt very conflicted.
Hua Qinglu calmed down and heard his daughter say there were footsteps. She hoped it was her husband and they were back. So he pretended to be calm and said:
“How about we wait a little longer, in case it’s not them again, wouldn’t that attract others?
It's so late, if someone really comes, we will be in danger, and your father and the others are not here."
Hua Qinglu naturally didn't dare to really call them like Yu Qingqing said to see if they would respond.
She planned to wait a little longer. If the footsteps really got closer, they would only be able to move forward and take a look.
Everyone suddenly fell into an atmosphere of fear.
They were also worried that someone else might come here late at night. If that happened, wouldn't they be unsafe?
On the other side of the fire was where Yu Qingqing had placed the carriage just now. Yu Qingshu and the others had already converted the carriage into a cart.
The main thing is to just dismantle the carriage, and there are not many changes in other places.
Then Yu Qingshu was pulling a cart towards the cave entrance, so the footsteps that Yu Qingqing heard just now were indeed theirs.
But he didn't know that their noise scared his wife and children, who thought someone else had come.
Yu Qingshu pushed the cart to the side of the fire, then put it down and didn't move forward.
He and Yu Qinghai started to move towards the cave entrance, but the entrance was not very bright along the firelight.
So he couldn't see the people inside clearly, or the specific situation. He tried to shout into the cave:
"Qing'er, Qing'er, are you in there? I've already prepared it.
Your elder brother and I have already put the food where we cooked the porridge just now, please come out quickly."
Yu Qingshu cleared his throat, but still shouted out with a pinched voice.
After all, it was late at night and he didn't want to make too much noise.
Yu Qingqing really heard Yu Qingshu's shout, and her tense mood immediately relaxed.
