Chapter 246: The aroma of food attracts disaster victims

In the night breeze, the aroma of baking food drifts with the wind.

What Li Yaoguang didn't know was that, diagonally below the two big trees and about a few hundred meters to the west, on the low slope, there were a number of figures lying in a mess.

As the night breeze blew gently, the unique aroma of wheat wafted over. Suddenly, a figure suddenly sat up in surprise. After sniffing around, his eyes lit up and he eagerly raised his hand to pull the person lying next to him.

"Dad, Dad, wake up, I really smell the aroma of wheat cakes, it smells so good! Dad, wake up and smell it, Dad, Dad?"

After shaking for a long time, impatient noises came from his men.

"Ahem, my son, stop it! How can you smell the smell of pancakes in the middle of the night? There's water everywhere right now. Hu Di entered the village earlier, and all the food in the house was robbed. Everyone in the tribe relies on wild vegetables to survive. Isn't everyone in the north the same as us? And you're smelling the smell of wheat? Are you hysterical because of hunger?"

The black shadow that was dragged muttered a few curses in confusion, turned over, crossed his arms over his chest, found a comfortable position and prepared to continue sleeping. However, thinking that he was his own son after all, he still comforted him before falling asleep, "Okay, go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep, and dreams can have anything."

After hearing what his father said, the son thought he was having hysteria. He sighed, scratched his head, and lay down. Only then did he close his eyes. The unique aroma of wheat came with the wind again.

"No, it's not right, it's clearly there!" The son stood up in a hurry and pushed the person next to him, "No, Dad, I'm not hysterical, get up, smell it, smell it, there is really a fragrance, it really is there!"

The father was getting really impatient with being pushed around. He was hungry and tired, and his son was still a worry-inducing mess, tossing and turning restlessly. He got so angry that he suddenly stood up and raised his hand to scold him. At that moment, a gust of wind came, bringing the aroma of baked pancakes into his nose.

The father's raised hand could no longer be lowered. His eyes, which used to be in a state of dead silence and despair, immediately glowed green and he laughed loudly, "Hey, it's true! You have a really good nose."

The father praised his son, sniffed hard, followed the scent with his eyes, and then aimed in the direction where the wind was coming from. Only then did he see a faint glow of fire on the east side near the mountain.

"There's someone there!"

"Where? Where?"

The son hurried to see, but was held back by the father.

"Don't be impatient, little brat. Where there is fire there must be people. And there is the smell of cakes just now. My son, those people must have food, otherwise they wouldn't be so ostentatious! Hurry up, go to the other side and call all your uncles and brothers. Let's go over and take a look. This is a way of life sent by God. Go!"

"But Dad..." the son shouted, still a little hesitant.

No one knows a son better than his father. Hearing the hesitation in his son's tone, the father urged him unhappily, "What do you mean by father? Just go when I tell you to."

After being yelled at, the son of the black shadow did not hesitate any more. He got up, turned around and went into the darkness. He went straight to the place where his uncles and brothers were resting on the other side of the low slope, and told them what had happened in a muttered voice.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of uncles and brothers' eyes glowed green, and they came towards Black Shadow's father without saying a word. As soon as they arrived, they smelled the fragrance and swallowed their saliva involuntarily and gathered together to discuss. After a few words, everyone set the tone.

The middle-aged man who had just taken over the responsibilities of clan leader from his biological father spoke.

"Everyone, in order to survive, take up your weapons, whether it's a hoe or a machete. Anyway, we are only after food, not life. If the other party is sensible, we won't take everything. It's okay to leave some for him. We are all poor people. If we are not forced to survive, we won't do such a wicked thing."

Everyone nodded in response, "Hey, we'll all listen to the clan leader uncle." "When we can grab the cakes, our little girl will be saved."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Second brother, you take Xiao Shi and the others to go around to the upper part. Third brother, you take Xiao Shi and the others to encircle from the lower part and block the rear road. Da Lang and the others follow me, we will attack from the front. Remember, we only want food."

"Uncle clan leader, I understand."

The suppressed voices fell together, and were followed by rustling sounds of groping in the dark night, very low, almost inaudible.

Li Yaoguang, who was sitting by the fire and watching the pancakes getting hard and crispy, had no idea that danger was coming.

She was careless. After floating so far, there were not many dead bodies. After walking along the road, she didn't see any people, so she relaxed her vigilance. She never thought that someone was waiting here.

Seeing that the pancake was ready, Li Yaoguang reached out to take it. Huang Cengceng, who was lying beside him, suddenly raised his head, looked vigilantly around the darkness of the forest, and made a warning humming sound in his throat.

Li Yaoguang has never raised a cat but has raised a wolf. The animal's habits look a bit strange.

Li Yaoguang knew something was wrong and became alert. He didn't care about the pancake and immediately put the jar cover he was sitting on and the bedding into the space. He also scooped the cat, which was alert and furious, into his arms. At the same time, he transferred a bag of water from the space to put out the fire. After removing the light source, he shrank behind a tree, holding a hatchet and keeping a close eye on his surroundings.

The series of actions were so fast that the people who came over had no time to react, and naturally they had no way of noticing anything unusual about Li Yaoguang. After all, no matter whether the people going up or down were there, they had not yet arrived at their positions, and the people moving horizontally were below, so how could they see her retraction and expansion?
However, when they saw the fire suddenly go out, the people who had surrounded them thought something was wrong. The clan leader made a prompt decision and shouted loudly in the direction of the fire several dozen meters above.

"The person in front, no matter who you are, you have been surrounded by us now! Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We are just ordinary people who are starving. This time we are just looking for a way to survive. We shamelessly beg you brothers for some food. Don't worry, we will retreat after getting the food. We will never harm your lives..."

The clan leader was at his wits' end. The other party was more clever than he thought. Right now, his clan members hadn't figured it out and he had no absolute certainty, so he could only bluff.

The people around realized something and started shouting, "That's right, brothers in front, we are not bad people, we just want some food to survive."

"Kind people ahead, please give us some food. Ever since the barbarians came and flooded the cave where we were hiding, my mother and sister haven't had a bite of food for a long time..."

When Li Yaoguang heard these shouts one after another, he was surprised at first, as it turned out that there were still people in the forest.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, his face turned dark again. In this situation, it was obvious that there were a lot of people coming, and it was obvious that they were here to rob him.

"Meow……"

"Shh!"

Li Yaoguang covered the little guy in his arms who was struggling towards the direction where no sound came from. He narrowed his eyes and had an idea in his mind.

He weighed the issues in his mind and was secretly annoyed with himself for being careless. However, he could not just sit there and wait for death. Although he had enough food, who could know whether what the other party said was true or not?

With so many people around, what if someone kills someone and robs them?
