Danger in the Forest

At noon, Li Yu and the team arrived at a forest. The adults and children sat on the ground and relaxed their muscles.

Some of the men unloaded the carts and fed the livestock with grass. They dragged out the straw mats and placed them on the ground. The women began to boil pots and cook, and the forest became lively.

After dinner, they each found a tree to lean against and slowly fell asleep. Soon, the sound of snoring and grinding teeth came from the forest.

After about two hours, the sound of hooves came from the road. Li Yu opened her eyes and saw a group of men riding horses.

Li Yu noticed that there were a total of 19 people in this group. Most of them were strong men and their horses were all strong. When they reached the forest, they rode their horses and checked the villagers in the forest.
