Chapter 403 Fire Wall

More than ten minutes later, Chu Yiling saw that Chu Anshan had not come back yet. She asked Meng Qiuping a little worriedly, "Mom, why hasn't my dad come back yet?"

"It's almost time, do you want to eat something first?"

"No, I'll wait for Dad to come back and eat together."

"How about I take you out to have a look?"

After hearing what Meng Qiuping said, Chu Yiling thought about it and finally decided not to go out because she was afraid of encountering rats and thus affecting Chu Anshan and the others.

So she should just stay where she is and wait for Chu Anshan to come back.

More than half an hour later, Chu Anshan came to Meng Qiuping carrying a few steamed buns and said to her, "The firewall has been completed. We should be able to spend the night safely."

"That's good."

"This is the steamed bun Captain Zhong gave me. Would you like to eat it?"

"If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it either. Let Lingling bring you some hot ones."

When Chu Anshan heard Meng Qiuping's words, he did not refuse. He directly handed the steamed bun in his hand to Chu Yiling, then reached out to take the hot steamed bun that Chu Yiling handed to him and started eating.

After he finished eating a steamed bun, he asked Meng Qiuping and Chu Yiling, "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Then eat quickly. I'll go over there to give you some fresh air."

"No, because Lingling and I are also planning to eat steamed buns, so it's okay if we're seen."

"it is good."

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Chu Anshan saw that everyone except Zhong Liang had fallen asleep, so he said to Chu Yiling and Meng Qiuping, "You guys go to sleep too. I'll keep an eye on you."

"You go to sleep first, and we will sleep in the second half of the night."

Chu Anshan did not refuse when he heard Meng Qiuping's words, because he knew that only if he had a good rest could he better protect them.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

More than two hours later, Chu Yiling rubbed her sore eyes and asked Meng Qiuping, "Mom, are you sleepy?"

"It's okay. If you're tired, go to sleep first. I'll keep an eye on you."

When Chu Yiling heard Meng Qiuping's words, she was about to say, "I'll wait until my dad wakes up before I go to sleep." But before she could say anything, she heard a series of intermittent noises, which scared her so much that she woke up immediately.

Then she asked Meng Qiuping, "Mom, did you hear any noise?"

"No...it seems so."

"Should we go out and take a look?"

"Don't go, wake up your dad first."

When Chu Yiling heard Meng Qiuping's words and said "OK", she reached out and gently pushed Chu Anshan a few times, and said to Chu Anshan: "Dad, there seems to be some movement outside."

"What? Are the rats coming?"

"I do not know."

Chu Anshan wiped his face with his hand when he heard Chu Yiling's words. He then stood up and said to Chu Yiling and Meng Qiuping, "Wait here for me. I'll go find Captain Zhong."

"it is good."

Seven or eight minutes later, Chu Anshan returned to Chu Yiling and Meng Qiuping with a gloomy face and said to them, "The group of rats are chasing us. I estimate there are about a hundred of them."

"so much?"

"Yeah, luckily we built the firewall before, otherwise those rats would have broken in by now."

When Chu Yiling heard what Chu Anshan said, she asked him, "Dad, how long can the fire wall you made last?"

"It should be fine if the fire continues until tomorrow."

"That's good, go back to sleep."

"Continue to sleep? Are you kidding me, girl?"

"No kidding, since the fire wall can burn until tomorrow morning, it means that the rats won't get in tonight.

So if not now, when will we rest?"
