Qin Suyun looked at these people begging and frowned slightly, but did not agree.

These are the punishments they deserve. Since they decided to do this job, they should know the consequences of failure.

Seeing the woman across from them remained indifferent, the men who had been pleading gave up and started cursing, "You two bitches, you're clearly seeking revenge and taking human life. You've never seen women with such vicious hearts in the world!"

"You vicious woman, you're clearly torturing us on purpose. Beheading us won't leave a scar as big as a bowl. If you have the guts, just kill us! What's the point of torturing us like this?!"

"As expected of a woman with a vicious heart! A woman as vicious as you, aren't you afraid of retribution if you give birth to a child in the future?!"

"So what if we're robbing something?! We haven't even gotten it yet! Are you really going to kill sixteen of us for this? Sixteen lives! You're so indifferent, yet you can actually say such cold-blooded words! A bitch like you deserves to be trampled upon by thousands of people!"

The more the group cursed, the more outrageous it became. Qin Suyun's heart, which had originally softened a little, gradually became colder.

Aunt Lu was furious. What the hell were they talking about?! They were clearly targeting her family, and they weren't even allowed to fight back?! Even a ruthless person wouldn't want to be around people who were constantly obsessed with their food supplies. They deserved to be kicked out!

If it weren't for the habits and cognition she had developed over the years that taught Lu Liqing not to shoot and kill people, as this is an illegal act, Lu Liqing would also have wanted to just stab these people twice.

"Da Hei and Hei Dou, please help me watch them. Don't let anyone escape!..." Qin Suyun turned around and walked back with a hint of anger in her low voice. There were a lot of hemp ropes in the cave. She planned to tie up all these guys first, and then throw them into the water after He Zhennan and others came back.

Qin Suyun's actions clearly angered the dozen or so robbers even more. The malicious insults, harsh words, and ferocious faces were all clearly displayed before Qin Suyun. Feeling slightly annoyed, Qin Suyun paused and continued walking towards the cave ahead...

…………

Even in a rainstorm, the sound of gunfire could still be heard from far away, especially for people like He Zhennan and Pang Xiong who often dealt with guns and were particularly sensitive to gunfire. They were even more alert. Almost at the moment the gunfire rang out, He Zhennan and others who were not too far away suddenly changed their expressions.

There was no time to say anything more.

They could only temporarily leave all the Zhao family members where they were, leaving Xiaoqi to help look after them, while the other four people and two dogs ran back quickly!

But is the mountain road so easy to walk on?

Coupled with the heavy rain, everyone's speed was still not fast even if they ran at full speed. When they climbed up the mountain and returned to the entrance of their cave, all they saw was the mess on the ground and the harsh and unpleasant curses!

"Dongzi, you're back?!" When Lu Liqing saw her son coming back, she felt like she had found her backbone and hurried to her son's side.

"Mom! What's going on?!" Dongzi touched the weapon on his waist, looked at his mother and asked with a frown.

Lu Liqing did not hide anything and quickly told her son everything that happened from beginning to end. By the time Qin Suyun heard the sound and came out of the cave with a hemp rope, He Zhennan and his men had already severely beaten up the robbers who were lying on the ground and cursing.

"Your idea is a good one. We will go down the mountain and throw these people into the river, and let these guys go back to where they came from... Leave the things here to me. You have worked hard, and you can go back and have a rest." He Zhennan took the hemp rope handed to him by Qin Suyun, and looked at the woman opposite who was drenched by the heavy rain. He felt a little distressed. He chased Qin Suyun back to the cave to wash and change into clean clothes, and then took his three brothers to tie up the 16 people tightly.

Seeing that some of these 16 people were cursing and talking nonsense, he didn't hesitate to grab a handful of weeds from the ground and stuffed them into their mouths. The bitter weeds mixed with the stench of soil made these people shut up.

In a cave not far away, the three members of the Qiu family saw that all the robbers here had been dealt with, then they hesitantly took two steps out and stood not far away to watch the situation here.

Qin Suyun glanced at the three people from the Qiu family. She didn't care much about the fact that they didn't come out to help. After looking at them twice, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

However, when Lu Liqing saw the three people from the Qiu family again, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, they all lived together. If they were to fall apart, did the three Qiu family members think they could handle over a dozen people on their own? Not to mention that when the nest is overturned, the eggs will fall too. Even though Cui Wen had such a close relationship with Dongzi and the others, he couldn't just stand by and watch them perish!

Lu Liqing looked at the three people from the Qiu family and felt a little unhappy. She said something to her sons and stopped caring about the robbers. She turned around and went back to the cave where she lived.

There was already hot water boiling in the cave for He Zhennan and the Zhao family to wash. Qin Suyun drew some hot water from the already boiled water, wiped herself, tidied herself up a little, and then boiled the hot water again.

After she quickly cleaned herself up, He Zhennan and his companions outside had already brought back the Zhao family members with Dahei, Xiaoqi and others.

After arranging Zhao Dabao and several other men in the cave next door, and Zhang Cuifen and her second daughter-in-law in the cave where they lived, Qin Suyun and Lu Liqing brought out the hot water and hot porridge that had been prepared long ago.

"Aunt Zhao, Sister-in-law Yinsheng, drink something hot to fill your stomach first, and then go take a hot bath. I have already boiled the hot water and am waiting for you to come over." Qin Suyun held the white rice porridge and stuffed it into the hands of the two.

A bowl of hot white porridge was stuffed into their cold hands, and Zhang Cuifen and Zhao Jinsheng's wife immediately burst into tears, with their eyes red.

Feeling the sadness emanating from these two people, Qin Suyun felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

But there is no way...

The dead cannot be resurrected, but life must go on. In her dream, there were rainstorms, floods, and hail, but there was no specific time when these disasters would occur, nor did the eight members of the Zhao family encounter the robbers...

…

A woman's mournful cry came from the cave next door. Zhao Dabao and his two brothers looked at their father who was still unconscious on the bed, and they felt extremely depressed, especially Zhao Jinsheng. Not only did he lose his grandmother like the others, he also lost his wife.

He and his wife had been married for less than three years. In the first two years, they had been working away from home and were not busy having children. Less than a year after they returned, a series of natural disasters occurred. These disasters made everyone panic, especially for a woman who had married from the north to the south.

Every time his wife saw a natural disaster, she would worry about her family in the north. However, she had no way to go back to visit her family and could only cry secretly. She had no way to resist these terrible natural disasters.

Every time Zhao Jinsheng saw his wife like this, he couldn't help feeling sad and he loved her even more.

What a pity...

His wife still couldn't survive this natural disaster.

Zhao Jinsheng's eyes were red as he touched the bowl of steaming porridge. His heart was becoming increasingly upset. His wife's last meal before her death was the same cornmeal porridge they had at home...

When Zhao Dabao saw his brother's appearance and heard the crying of his mother and second sister-in-law in the cave next door, his heart became more and more sour and bitter, but he still had to cheer up and take care of his father and brother.

He picked up the bowl of porridge and drank it without caring whether the hot porridge was hot or not. After drinking it, he rinsed it with boiled water and swallowed the rice residue in the bowl together with the boiled water. Then he picked up the porridge that had cooled down a little and fed it to his father.

However, Zhao Xingguo was unconscious and could not eat the porridge at all. Zhao Dabao wiped his red eyes and turned around to pour some warm water for his father. Fortunately, this time he could still feed the warm water to moisten his throat, which made Zhao Dabao feel a little better. He didn't know when his father would wake up.

After He Zhennan arranged everything in the cave, he hurriedly took Pang Xiong and others to deal with the robbers who had been tied up.

These robbers are really miserable!

The one with the least injuries had a piece of flesh the size of an adult's palm bitten off from his shoulder.

The man was bitten by Hei Dou. Fortunately, it was a cat. If it was any other dog, his entire shoulder would probably have been torn off!

The three with broken arms had already turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and the others were obviously not in much better condition.

He Zhennan and his companions didn't care whether these people would lose too much blood. They stared at the robbers coldly, led them down the mountain, and as for those who didn't want to go, they would just drag them down. However, they would be dragged to death before they got down the mountain. Then they couldn't be blamed for being cruel. By the way, they ordered Dongzi, who stayed behind, to clean up the bloody broken arms at the entrance of the cave.

Although there shouldn't be any powerful wild beasts in this mountain, they still have to be careful and try not to make any mistakes in these matters.

I don’t know whether these people are just lucky or because after the mutation of animals and plants, humans’ physical strength has also increased.

Although not as obvious as other animals and plants, He Zhennan can still feel the changes in his body in recent days. His physical strength is better than before, and his power is also greater than before.

It's like a weed. No matter how much the surrounding environment changes, it can always rely on its tenacity to grow and develop.

He Zhennan and his companions, along with Dahei, drove the group of Jiang Fei out of the mountain. It was more than four hours later when they returned from the foot of the mountain.

It was already very late at this time, the mountains were dark, and no one could be seen. Only the heavy rain outside the cave was still falling.

Qin Suyun was lying on her back on the simple wooden bed. Heidou beside her was curled up into a big ball of black fur, and warm breathing sounds came from his nose after falling asleep. Listening to Heidou's rhythmic breathing, Qin Suyun, who had not been asleep because of what happened during the day, subconsciously reached out and touched Heidou's head. The furry back of the big black cat felt very good. Heidou did not open his eyes when Qin Suyun touched him. Instead, he rubbed against Qin Suyun's palm and moved his body closer to Qin Suyun, wanting to bring his body heat to Qin Suyun.

I sighed deeply in my heart, hoping that this heavy rain would stop soon.

…………………………

Life in the mountains is rather boring, especially in such heavy rain, life becomes even more boring.

However, it seems that many people know about the conflict between Qin Suyun and the previous group.

after……

Almost no one in the mountains came near Qin Suyun and the others. Even some wanderers who had just come up the mountain following the flood would not come to them and cause trouble. In this relaxed mood, the Zhao family's condition improved a lot, and Zhao Xingguo woke up after two days.

When Zhao Xingguo was fighting with the robbers, he accidentally hit his head and fell into a coma. Fortunately, after waking up, he didn't seem to have any major sequelae. Except for some concussion and constant nausea, there was no other obvious problem.

The other person lived right under her nose, and Qin Suyun couldn't really let anything happen to him, so these days, she would put half a drop of jade dew in the water when she boiled it.

no way……

It wasn't that she was too stingy, but she was worried that the Jade Dew would be too effective and would heal the wounds of several members of the Zhao family at once, which would be troublesome.

Zhazha licked his face and begged for the remaining half drop of jade dew to his wife. In recent days, whenever the drinking water was mixed with fish sauce, Zhazha would always push the water to the butterfly and then watch with eager eyes. Qin Suyun felt funny watching it. This bird was really smart. In order to please his wife, he really gave all the good things to the other party, such as nuts and various delicious foods.

In return, Butterfly treated Zhazha better. The two birds basically stayed together tightly together, whether during the day or when sleeping, like a sweet couple.

…

The days passed one by one.

The rain started in mid-March and lasted until early August before it began to show signs of stopping. It was also from this period that Qin Suyun felt that the temperature outside had increased significantly, and the floods at the foot of the mountain gradually began to recede. There would be two heavy rains every day, but this no longer affected the rise of the flood.

The sun, which had disappeared for several months, was finally hanging in the sky. Hei Dou Zha Zha and the others would run outside to bask in the sun every day when it was not raining and the sun was out. For this purpose, He Zhennan and Qin Suyun helped cut down two large trees not far away so that the sunlight could penetrate through the dense woods.

By the time the floodwaters at the foot of the mountain had receded, it was already mid-to-late August.

After staying in the mountains for nearly five months, all the people on the mountain were almost crying with joy after coming down. No one was not grateful for having survived the disaster, especially those who had experienced hunger, robbery attacks, and illness and torture and finally survived. They were even more grateful.

Some people had already gone down the mountain several times to check the flood before it completely receded. When the flood was only as high as their thighs or calves, many people rushed back to their homes. The villagers who originally lived in Wanxi Village were not so worried, but many of the victims who were washed here by the flood ran away directly, intending to go home, while some wanted to stay in Wanxi Village.

However, this time, Zhao Xingguo resolutely drove all these people away and would never allow these strangers to live in Wanxi Village or build houses in the village.

There was no other choice, these people could only leave Wanxi Village in the direction they came from.

When Qin Suyun came down from the mountain and returned home, she was still shocked by the situation in the village and at home.

In the village, where the flood receded, there was not only thick mud, but also a lot of rotten debris, including fish and shrimp, mice and insects, unknown rotten meat, trees, and grass clippings. Under such high temperatures, those rotten debris emitted a series of disgusting stench.

As for the house where Qin Suyun originally lived, the doors and windows were closed when she left, and most of her things were placed in the cellar, so after the flood, almost nothing was lost in the house.

Because the cellar was very well waterproof, and the entrance was sealed with waterproof slurry and plastic bags by Qin Suyun when she left, except for a few things that were damp, there was no sign of damage from the flood on other things.

However, the wall wires in the house and those electrical appliances that could not be stuffed into the cellar were in trouble. After returning, these things had to be checked and repaired before they could be used.

The originally white walls were already mottled at this time. Not only were they stained yellow and black by the flood and covered with many mold spots, but the white walls in many places had been completely soaked and rotted, leaving only the original reinforced concrete main walls of the house and the fallen objects mixed with mud and sand in the basement.

After five months of flooding, Qin Suyun originally thought that when she returned, she would only see the remains of plants that had been soaked by the flood in the village. However, she did not expect that both the fruit trees in her backyard and the mutated camphor tree in the village were still alive and well.

I even feel unusually energetic because of the sun lately.

After opening the windows for ventilation, Qin Suyun, He Zhennan and their group began to clean up the clutter in the house.

Prevent major epidemics after floods.

In addition to sweeping away the mud and sand in the house, Qin Suyun washed the cabinet walls with clean water again, and placed the items that could be dried in the sun, she also sprayed disinfectant on all other places and washed all the damp clothes from top to bottom with soap powder.

The same thing happened to other families in the village.

At this time when there is no medicine to help with treatment, no one wants to be infected with the disease. Everyone cleaned and disinfected everything that could be cleaned. Even if they had huge complaints in their hearts, no one dared to joke with their own bodies.

People who had finished cleaning their homes came out with various tools such as shovels, hoes, and basins to clean the muddy roads in the village, shoveling mud and flushing.

Gather all the smelly rotten wood and the stinking remains of corpses together, add dry firewood, and burn them all in one fire.

A foul stench, accompanied by billowing smoke, drifted over Wanxi Village.

There are many places like Wanxi Village where everyone is rebuilding their homes after the disaster. Except for those relatives who will never return, they all have to continue living well, even if the future will be even more difficult...

This massive flood has left countless people with pain.

Many low-lying coastal cities were also destroyed in the flood, especially those that were once China's three major coastal economic cities. After the flood receded, most of the cities were still submerged.

Hordes of sea creatures have made these cities their new homes, if one could look down from above.

You can see groups of sharks that regard these cities as their nests.

This place can provide them with abundant food.

Therefore, people living in these coastal cities had to move inland. Even the poor mountain village of Wanxi felt the power of this army from the coast.

Most places were unwilling to accept them, but many cities that had already turned into vast oceans in the earthquake were able to accommodate them. These abandoned houses had long been uninhabited, and as long as they were willing, they could clean up these houses and live in them.

The abandoned city has a new lease of life.

However, the persistent high temperature and high humidity have allowed mosquito-borne diseases to spread quietly.

The situation in Wanxi Village was relatively good. Although some villagers died in the flood and some people were unable to come down from the mountain due to food poisoning, the population of the entire village did not decrease much.

Some of those guys who had previously fought with the villagers for a place to stay left the village out of shamelessness, but there were still many who were thick-skinned and lived in the village with a shameless attitude. Even if no villagers were willing to lend them a house, they could still clean up a place to live. The worst case scenario was to set up a tent, while the better ones would build a tree house directly on the tree.

These people who settled down here contributed a lot to the post-disaster cleanup and disinfection of the village.

The village put a lot of effort into post-disaster cleaning, and everyone was very careful under He Guiping's instructions, so the situation was relatively good. Only three people contracted the disease due to mosquito bites.

The three people were isolated in a relatively remote cave. They did not come out on weekdays. During the day, their family members would bring them food and water. With the help of some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions that He Guiping had found from somewhere, the conditions of the three people were gradually brought under control and gradually improved.

The villagers paid more attention to these things.

But those who live in big cities are not so lucky.

The city is so huge and there are so many of them. Apart from being cautious and careful, there is really not much they can do. For example, they walk on the streets every day and the mud that sticks to their bodies from time to time is not easy to clean.

After the earthquake, the city's water and electricity supply had long been cut off. Unlike Wanxi Village, which could still use the more reliable groundwater, many people were affected by the epidemic.

By early September, when the dust has settled on the flood issue...

After Zhao Xingguo cleaned up, the population of Wanxi Village has been reduced from more than 600 to more than 530.

However, there were unexpectedly 20 to 30 more pregnant women in the village, and even Zhao Yinsheng's wife was pregnant!

After the other family was seriously injured, they recuperated in the cave where Qin Suyun and her group lived. According to the injuries of the other family, they should have stayed with them until the flood receded, but as the heavy rain continued to fall, the water level rose rapidly.

He Zhennan and his group became restless, so they immediately started looking for a place to live higher up.

Under such circumstances, the Zhao family naturally did not want to cause more trouble for He Zhennan, Qin Suyun and others. They found an excuse and a place to live and moved out again.

Unexpectedly, when we met again, she was already pregnant!

When Qin Suyun came out of the village chief's house that day and heard about this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

It's normal to think about it. During that time, it was raining heavily outside every day. There wasn't much to do in the mountains, so it was normal for something to happen between husband and wife...

Thinking of this, Qin Suyun's cheeks turned slightly red with embarrassment, especially when she saw He Zhennan standing next to her. Even on the way home, her eyes were a little wandering.

He Zhennan walked beside Qin Suyun and knew why she was embarrassed. He curled the corners of his lips and glanced around. Seeing that there was no one on the road, He Zhennan reached out and directly grabbed Qin Suyun's arm.

"What are you doing?" Qin Suyun stared at He Zhennan, trying her best to hide her embarrassment. Her intuition told her that something out of control was about to happen.

He Zhennan curled the corners of his lips, not at all frightened by Qin Suyun's glare. "Don't you know what I want to do?"

"What?..." Being stared at by the other party, Qin Suyun swallowed subconsciously and staggered back a step.

"So many women in the village are pregnant and about to give birth. Why don't you help me give birth to one now? I promise to take good care of you and your mother."

Qin Suyun: “!!!!”

Why would this person suddenly say something so inexplicable? ! ! Was he trying to scare her to death?

The He Zhennan before her looked nothing like the one she had seen before. He Zhennan was usually a calm and reserved man who rarely spoke. How could someone like that possibly say something so shocking?

Qin Suyun's eyes widened and her face was filled with confusion, which obviously made He Zhennan laugh. He chuckled softly, "Didn't you understand what I just said?"

"How about...give me a kiss and let me prove it with my actions?"

"Or... you can just give me a kiss."

Qin Suyun: “!!!!”

Bastard! Hooligan!
