I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 285 Rushing Back

Liu Erhu: "Yes, but I won't let it go now."

Liu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. "Why don't you release it if you're already prepared? Do you need to go through some kind of ritual?"

Liu Erhu smiled, then said seriously, "It's not that we need to perform any rituals, but I'm worried that when you leave, there will be little tails following you, so it's not safe to leave it here."

Zhufu didn't expect that his granddaughter's curiosity could actually lead this man to say such words. He asked, "Brother, did you find anything?"

Liu Erhu did not hide anything and directly told about a suspicious man he saw when they just left the village.

"I didn't see that man too close to us, so I didn't think much of it at first. But after listening to your story, I thought he might be a companion of the group you mentioned."

After hearing this, Zhufu realized that the other party was so cautious. Fortunately, he and his companions had not deliberately delayed along the way.

Then he asked, "Since someone is following you, what about you, the pigeon?"

Liu Erhu: "Well, Master Zhu, don't worry. He followed you at first, probably just to make sure of something, but half an hour before your team stopped, I couldn't sense him anymore. I think he must have gone back! And the reason I didn't release the carrier pigeon here was just to be safe."

I feel a little relieved about this blessing.

But for safety reasons, he told Liu Yingcai and the others not to rush into making crossbows. He told them to wait until Liu Erhu had released the pigeons before he and Wang Feng and the others explored the surrounding area before taking any action.

Liu Yingcai naturally agreed with this, but since everyone had nothing to do now, it would be better for him to work with the ladies at home to make more dry food.

After all, once people come back from the investigation and it is safe, they may have to rush to work, and then they will have to rush back overnight. By then, they will have no time to prepare food.

In the end, he had a plan, but the sensible women in the family didn't let them do it!

Anyone who can leave with them now doesn’t know what they are going to do next, so in order to let the men rest for a while, they will definitely not be allowed to do these things.

On the other side, Liu Erhu first hid the carrier pigeon in his stomach, pretended to have diarrhea, and went into the woods. Then he looked around cautiously.

After finding that there was indeed no one around, he quickly took out the carrier pigeon that was pressed against his stomach. Then he said to the pigeon, "I'm sorry! I made you hold it in! Come, I'll let you fly." Then he patted the pigeon's wings and threw it upwards with force.

As soon as the pigeon was free, it spread its wings and flew away.

Looking at the direction where the carrier pigeon disappeared, Liu Erhu prayed, "I hope Second Master can come here quickly!"

Liu Erhu then turned around and walked around the forest. After discovering that there were no outsiders around except their group, he quickly turned back and said to Zhufu, "Next, we must hurry back and make some arrangements. Although we don't know when the enemy will attack, it's always better to be prepared early."

Zhufu had just received a reply from Wang Feng and the others, and was discussing with Liu Yingcai about having people start making crossbows immediately! Hearing what he said, he replied, "Don't worry, brother. Once we have the weapons made, we will set off immediately to rush back. Besides, with weapons, we can have a 10% better chance of winning, right?"

But even though they tried very hard to speed up, by the time they made all the necessary bows and crossbows, it was almost the end of the afternoon.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoxiao suggested that the few crossbow users they had selected earlier should first take the vacant carriage at home and rush back quickly.

As for the remaining men who could not use crossbows, they protected the remaining elderly, weak, women and children, and those who were slower than them also hurried back.
