Volume 1, Chapter 30: I’m not a saint, how can I save everyone?
Su Muyan looked at her father's melancholy face and said, "Dad, how are these people supposed to survive these days? That's the court's business, and it's also their own business. Just because I have the ability doesn't mean we should save them."
"It's us you should be worried about at this time."
I can help you get through the harsh natural conditions and lack of food, but what do you want me to do about the wickedness of human nature?
Instead of worrying about others not being able to survive, we should worry about where the next wave of people who come to hunt us are now.
After he finished saying this, the hearts of everyone present sank instantly, and then the compassionate expressions on their faces just now disappeared.
That's right, this is exactly what I want. It's not easy these days. I can't just save everyone I see, right? And it's not as simple as just one or two!
In the past, everyone had no worries about food and shelter in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they didn't have so many thoughts and didn't understand how sinister people's hearts could be under the pressure of such extreme conditions.
Besides, I am different from ordinary people and I possess this secret. No one can discover it except my closest and most trusted people.
Once one's secret is discovered, the consequences will not be as simple as confiscation of property and exile, so I have to make everyone change their mindset from the beginning and not be so saintly.
People like Su Yi didn't care about other people, so after the six of them entered the cave, they immediately found firewood to dry it, and then boiled water.
The others stood there for a while, and after they digested all this, they immediately returned to their normal state, cooking as usual and paving the floor as usual.
Su Muyan looked at her parents and it seemed that they had changed their minds.
I turned around, sat by the fire, and dried my clothes, which still felt a little damp.
After feeling a little dry, he went over and sat in the small tent that Xiaoyue had prepared, and brought his younger brother and sister in.
A bedside table appeared in the tent, and a chocolate cake and a few boxes of fruit were taken out from it to fill their stomachs.
Chocolate is very good for replenishing physical strength. Just now, my younger sister and younger brother felt a little tired while climbing up, so it was just right for them to replenish their energy.
Su Muxue: "Wow, sister, what delicious thing did you take out? It looks so good." As she said that, she swallowed the saliva in her mouth.
Su Muzhou was also drooling beside him.
In order to make them enjoy their meal more, I took out a chocolate cake in the shape of an animated character. It looked cute and very appetizing.
"This is a cake. The ones on it are animated characters. I'll tell you more later. Now hurry up and eat some to replenish your energy!"
After Su Muyan finished speaking, she cut a piece of cake for each of them, told them to eat slowly here, and then she went out.
The reason for going out was not for anything else, but because I haven't taken out dinner for everyone tonight. Now the people outside can only boil water, and there is no dinner yet!
He found Granny Li, gave her a small bag of rice, took out a wild rabbit, a pheasant, and some sweet potatoes, and asked her to roast the sweet potatoes in the fire.
After giving these to Grandma Li, Grandma Li knew what to do. By the way, I also gave Grandma Li some garlic, onions, etc., and gave her a big bag of seasonings and told her how to use them.
After all, he is an old hand in the kitchen, so he can handle such a small matter.
Sure enough, he saw your mother-in-law making a stew with a chicken, then stir-frying a wild rabbit and steaming some rice.
As for the sweet potatoes, Su Yi and others were idle nearby, so they just helped Grandma Li to watch over them so that they would not get burnt.
Seeing that they had all finished their work, he took out some fruits from the space, thinking of letting everyone replenish their vitamins to avoid getting sick.
At this time, Su Muyan saw her father Su Zimu and her mother Shen Youchu coming over and sitting next to her.
"Yan'er, we were indeed mistaken today. Don't worry, it won't happen again in the future."
The main thing is that when Dad saw the mountain torrents roaring down like that today, his heart was really broken!
My father has been an official for decades, serving the people with all his heart and soul, just wanting peace in the world and a good life for the people, but who would have thought that he would end up like this.
But even if this is the outcome, we still have compassion, because we are not treacherous ministers.
But after what happened today, we also figured it out. It is just as you said. We don’t know if we can survive and reach the wild land of Hainan. Let’s just worry about our own affairs first!
After hearing this, Su Muyan knew that her father and mother still couldn't let go of those people, and they were just forcing herself.
"The journey of fleeing famine, having your property confiscated and exiled, is a very long one. No one knows what will happen along the way."
"I don't know if I can survive and lead you there, because the person who chased me last time was a drunkard, but the one sent to chase me this time might be the elite soldiers sent by the princess."
So instead of feeling sad for others and lamenting the difficulties of their lives, you might as well worry about the fate of your own family!
After Su Muyan finished speaking, she went in and brought out her younger brother and sister. Just then, Grandma Li called for dinner.
"Yeah, there's meat to eat again!" Su Muxue and Su Muzhou were at the age of innocence. If anything happened, they had their elder sister, father and mother to take care of it, so they still maintained their innocence.
It was just that he was depressed for a while when he learned that his property had been confiscated and he was exiled.
As he gradually adapted to the life of exile, he became optimistic again.
Not far below the cave was a roaring mountain torrent, and from time to time one could see people drowned in the water.
Everyone in the cave gathered around the fire, roasting their food and eating. Although life was a bit hard, it was better than those who had just died.
In fact, everyone will be moved when they see the lives swept away by the flood.
But I am not a savior, and not everyone can save me. My family is still being confiscated and exiled. Even if I have a secret and have a guarantee, so what?
You can't just save those people at all costs, right?
Maybe today, in the eyes of everyone, I appear indifferent and cold-blooded, but it doesn't matter.
All I want in this life is for everyone to arrive at the place of exile safely and live a quiet life.
I am not a savior and cannot be a saint.
