The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1158 - 981: Escape

Wuhu Village was besieged by the soldiers led by King Weiyuan, and people inside the village were so worried that they couldn’t sleep. However, Daozi and Zhang Xiaohu, the two little ones, slept soundly.

Daozi knew his dad was coming to rescue him and it wouldn’t be long before he could return home to see his mother. With this burden off his heart, he fell asleep on Old Li’s bed as soon as sleepiness overtook him.

Seeing Daozi asleep, Zhang Xiaohu, with nothing else to do, also lay down and fell asleep.

However, in the middle of the night, the second-in-command angrily brought a group of people to the backyard and woke the two little ones during a loud argument with Old Li.

"Are the government soldiers attacking?"

Zhang Xiaohu looked around in panic.

Rubbing his eyes, Daozi sat up and reassured him, "Didn’t I tell you there’s nothing to fear? If my dad truly attacks, I’ll take care of you."

Zhang Xiaohu still looked worried, "But there are still so many people in the village, can you really take care of all that?"

This stumped Daozi.

At this moment, the two heard the arguing outside the courtyard.

"Old Li, King Weiyuan had the Hidden Guard infiltrate the village and many have died, do you know that? I am going to take that brat to the village gate now."

Old Li: "What are you going to do to that little kid if you take him there? If you really hurt that child, everyone in the village will have to pay with their lives."

"The disaster today was initially caused by your own actions, are you now pushing the people of the village into the pit of fire as well?"

Second-in-command, furious: "Old Li, I respect your age, hence I address you as ’Old Li’, but do you really think too highly of yourself?"

"This is Wuhu Village, and I am the second-in-command, you must listen to me. Men, go and capture that brat, I want to see if King Weiyuan can bear his son being maimed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu shuddered in the room, looked at Daozi who was still somewhat confused, and said anxiously, "It’s bad, my uncle wants to kill you!"

Daozi’s eyes widened in shock, "Why does he want to kill me? I’m just a little kid."

Zhang Xiaohu, somewhat speechless: "Because you are King Weiyuan’s son." After thinking, he took Daozi’s hand, "Let’s go, I’ll take you out through the back door, but you have to promise me, if you escape, you must take care of the people in our village."

"Tiedan and the others already have no father, we can’t let Xiaosan and the others lose theirs too."

Letting Zhang Xiaohu pull him along, quickly, the two little kids ran out of the back door of the courtyard, disappearing into the dark night.

When the second-in-command’s men rushed into the room, there was no trace of Daozi and Zhang Xiaohu.

...

On the other hand, Daohua brought three hunting dogs into Wuhu Village, but the progress was not very smooth. Although a fight had started near the main gate, the guards at various checkpoints hadn’t left.

Luckily, with the help of three hunting dogs and some Sleeping Powder, Daohua managed to reach the center of the village.

The three hunting dogs sniffed around, following Daozi’s scent, and it wasn’t long before Daohua encountered the second-in-command’s men, who were also looking for Daozi.

Daohua quickly hid behind a wall and signaled the hunting dogs to hide.

"Search carefully, a four-year-old kid can’t have gone far."

Hearing this, Daohua’s eyes flickered; was Daozi hiding?

Just then, someone ran over: "Second-in-command, there’s trouble, the guards at the west checkpoint have all been taken down."

Hearing this, the second-in-command frowned, "That must be Xiao Yeyang’s men infiltrating. Quick, everyone be alert, we must find that child, otherwise if Xiao Yeyang has no more concerns, our village is finished."

The group dispersed noisily, and after they all left, Daohua continued with the three hunting dogs to search for Daozi.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohu clumsily led Daozi to the back gate of Wuhu Village.

Unfortunately, the back gate was also guarded.

The two little ones hid behind a rock, anxiously staring at the large wooden gate.

Daozi furrowed his brows: "How do we get out? We can’t open this door."

Zhang Xiaohu pondered for a moment: "The guard at the back door, Uncle Lin, I know him. Should I ask him to open the door?"

Daozi scornfully glanced at Zhang Xiaohu: "Are you stupid? If you go now and ask him to open the door, he’ll definitely know I’m here too."

Zhang Xiaohu scratched the back of his head: "Then what do we do?"

Daozi sat down on the ground: "We wait. After my dad defeats your village, he’ll come looking for me."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded, reminding him: "When your dad comes, you have to cover for us, okay?"

Daozi patted Zhang Xiaohu’s shoulder: "Don’t worry, I will."

Just then, the two heard a noise, and then three imposing hunting dogs appeared in their sight.

Seeing the dogs, the two reacted differently; Daozi stood up happily, while Zhang Xiaohu screamed in terror.

Daohua quickly ran over and covered Zhang Xiaohu’s mouth, but it was too late. The guard at the back door heard the noise and glanced over.

"Xiaoyi, Xiao’er, Xiaowu, attack!"

The three dogs leapt forward swiftly and soon clashed with the gatekeeper.

"Mom!"

Daozi saw Daohua and rushed over joyfully: "Mom, you finally came to rescue me, I was so scared."

Daohua quickly looked over her son, relieved to see he was unharmed and in good spirits, and her heart settled: "Let’s get out of here with mom."

Upon seeing the back door, Daohua realized it was another exit. She picked up Daozi and ran towards the back door.

There were six guards in total, occupied by the three dogs.

Daohua quickly unlocked the back door, saw a few camels tied nearby, quickly led one, and got on with Daozi.

Just then, a loud shout came from behind.

"Quick, someone grab them!"

Daohua looked back and saw the second in command chasing after them with men, and hurriedly rode the camel away.

"Chase them, we can’t let Xiao Yeyang’s brat escape."

The people from Wuhu Village tried to pursue, but unfortunately, the three dogs were too formidable and held them back.

Zhang Xiaohu had recovered from the shock and, seeing the second in command with others chasing Daozi, quickly hugged his leg: "Uncle, please let Daozi go, don’t kill him."

The second in command was furious, not having predicted that the one would release Wei Yuan’s prince was the chief’s son, he shook Zhang Xiaohu off: "Chase them!"

Chu Lang and two Hidden Guards arrived a step late, after knowing someone had rescued Daozi, one of them went back to inform Xiao Yeyang, while he and the other continued the pursuit.

...

"Mom, can we escape?" Daozi, nestled in Daohua’s arms, asked somewhat anxiously.

Daohua hugged her son tightly: "Yes, your dad will soon come to rescue us." She had already heard fighting noises from behind; the Hidden Guards must have caught up.

Knowing there were pursuers behind, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to be careless, constantly racing the camel forward.

In Daohua’s realization, the camel’s speed wasn’t very fast, so she confidently ran forward, feeling the Hidden Guards would catch up soon.

However, as the sky gradually brightened, Daohua began to feel uneasy.

There were no sounds from behind!

Daohua riding the camel slowly came to a stop, looked back, and saw neither the people from Wuhu Village nor the Hidden Guards; all she saw was a desolate Gobi desert expanse, with only Dog Xiaoyi catching up.
