Chapter 28 Demon Cave

The sun was setting, and the sky darkened in an instant. Smoke rose from the fields, and a team of soldiers took hot meals up the mountain to take over.

General Duan promised that he would never let them go hungry when they arrived in Xinyang City, and he would not break his promise. So, meals for Ma Xiaoliu and his group were also prepared.

Ma Xiaoliu ate the roasted sweet potato in his hand, looked at the sky, and said proudly in his heart: "It will be dark soon, if you have the ability, continue to guard us."

A new team of soldiers guarded them, about ten people, and they were also big men from the north. They looked really mighty, but Ma Xiaoliu was not afraid at this time. These people did not dare to hit him, nor did they dare to starve him. What was he afraid of?

Ma Xiaoliu sat on the ground fearlessly.

The moon climbed up to the treetops, and Ma Xiaoliu yawned. He was very sleepy, and was about to take a nap with his eyes closed. When he closed his eyes, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, as if he was about to fall asleep...

After a cup of tea, Ma Xiaoliu was pushed awake from behind.

"Drink!"

Ma Xiaoliu shuddered and gasped. Being awakened just when falling asleep was the worst feeling. He felt as if he had been put back together again. He covered his chest in shock and yelled, "What are you doing? You won't let me sleep?"

A friend beside him, Zhu Ji, who was also awakened, said, "That's right. If you have the ability, you can stay up all night. We are not afraid of sleeping outside."

"It's useless for you to stay up until tomorrow! I just don't want to work."

The group of people cursed.

The soldiers guarding them said in a clear voice without raising their eyebrows: "The general said that we are not allowed to rest until the work is finished."

Ma Xiaoliu: "What do you mean?"

"We are not allowed to rest until the work is finished."

Ma Xiaoliu grabbed a handful of soil under his hand and rubbed it in anger: "So there is still this waiting for us. You guard us without sleeping, and you can't sleep either. Let's see who can endure it!"

The soldiers stood straight and ignored them.

Ma Xiaoliu rubbed his eyes and persevered. Zhu Ji beside him also yawned. If he hadn't slept before, it would be fine. After sleeping for a while, he was woken up and felt more sleepy than before.

The wind on the mountain was very cold. The sky at night was empty like an abyss, which was scary. The mountain was silent.

The soldiers guarding them were replaced again.

"Hah!" Ma Xiaoliu woke up with a startled breath. Someone poured a handful of cold water on his face. He woke up eight or nine times in one night. His lips were now pale and he didn't even have the energy to curse.

This group of soldiers is so vicious. If they want to sleep, they will never stop them. Every time they wait for them to fall asleep for a cup of tea, they will raise their devilish hands to wake them up and play with them like mice under the claws of a big cat.

Ma Xiaoliu felt that his head was heavy and his feet were light, as if the weight of his whole body had run to his head. His eyes were exhausted and he couldn't see things clearly. There was a buzzing sound in his ears.

The morning light was dim, and the gray-blue dark light enveloped the entire mountain. Below the mountain, General Duan had brought people out to train soldiers.
