Chapter 72 The robber cried instead
The five families living on the mountain were not from Baishi, but from Fushi.
They originally lived in the same neighborhood.
The neighborhood was too chaotic, so I had no choice but to escape.
At first they had no intention of settling on this mountain.
It is also the place where people live. They will move again when the food runs out.
Finally, we discovered that food could still be found in the nearby mountains.
Not only that, because it is sparsely populated, there are no bad people here.
This allows them to live without having to live in fear every day.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to settle on this mountain.
An old couple who were skilled in carpentry taught them how to build a wooden house.
It took two days to build five small wooden houses.
They were also lucky, as they found some small animals that were frozen to death at the beginning.
We also found some wild taro and sweet potatoes in the mountains to satisfy our hunger.
Food is becoming increasingly difficult to find, and they are afraid that one day the food will run out and they will have to leave again.
I don’t know when these days will end?
"Mom, are we still going to chop wood today?"
The nine-year-old girl asked quietly, holding her mother's hand.
"Yes, we'll go there in a moment."
The mother touched her daughter's head and said lovingly.
"Then Qiqi helps mom."
The little girl nodded sensibly.
She was too small to cut the wood, so she could only pile the chopped wood into a bundle.
"Jiujiu also helps mom and dad."
Jiujiu, a five-year-old boy, is also very sensible.
The words of the two little kids made the people around them laugh out loud.
"elder brother."
In the wooden house, Zhou Ling walked up to the young man Zhou Hu with a machete.
Carpenter Master Xie came out holding a hatchet.
He was pushing a homemade cart in front of him.
"It's getting late, let's go."
Master Xie spoke softly and looked up at the sky.
His wife will not go with him to chop wood today.
Because she needed to look after five wooden houses at home and take care of the sick Xu Hui.
The group prepared to head up the mountain.
Their task today, in addition to chopping wood, is to find food.
These two things are what they have to do every day.
Suddenly, Zhou Hu stopped and looked back.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ling looked back and didn't see anything.
Why did her brother suddenly stop?
Could it be that some small animal was discovered?
If so, that’s great!
The others also stopped, and Liang Heng seemed to hear some sound.
The sound was very small, probably a little far away from them.
"I seemed to hear some sound."
Zhou Hu signaled everyone to listen carefully.
Jia Rui, the husband of the middle-aged couple, nodded and said, "There is indeed a sound, it seems to be the sound of a cutting machine."
"Is there anyone nearby?"
Wu Xiao, the wife of the middle-aged couple, widened her eyes.
They looked around for a thousand meters and found no people or buildings.
Why is there someone here today?
Everyone looked nervous at the thought of someone coming.
Some of them were afraid of seeing outsiders because the end of the world had arrived and they had witnessed many cruel things.
They were so scared that they only dared to hide in uninhabited mountainous areas.
"I'll go take a look."
Zhou Hu decided to go and check the situation himself. He felt uneasy if he didn't go and check it out himself.
"I'll go with you."
Liang Heng did not hesitate and prepared to follow Zhou Hu.
They had finally settled down and didn't want anyone to disrupt it.
"elder brother."
Zhou Ling held Zhou Hu's hand worriedly, fearing that something might happen to him.
"Don't worry, brother will be careful."
Zhou Hu gently comforted Zhou Ling and asked her to go chop wood with others.
After saying that, Zhou Hu and Liang Heng walked down the mountain.
The others stood there and watched them leave.
More than ten minutes later, the two hid behind a tree at the foot of the mountain and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"It seems to be a woman."
Zhou Hu raised his eyebrows in surprise, unable to believe that a young woman would dare to go out alone.
Could it be that there is someone hiding in the dark?
"It should be a young girl."
Liang Heng looked carefully and found no one else around, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
There is only one girl, she shouldn't do anything bad.
They can finally stop worrying.
"Let's go, let's go back."
Zhou Hu called Liang Heng to prepare to go back.
Liang Heng kept staring in the direction of Gu Luan, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother Liang, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah Hu, do you think this girl has any medicine?"
Liang Heng saw Gu Luan’s RV parked nearby.
A girl who can drive such a nice RV and dress nicely should have some medicine, right?
"Brother Liang, medicine is so precious nowadays. Even if we have it..."
Zhou Hu hesitated to speak, but Liang Heng knew what he meant.
Even if he went forward to beg, he might not be able to get the medicine.
Liang Heng seemed to be dizzy.
With trembling hands, he took out a fruit knife from his pocket.
After thinking for a while, he became determined.
"I have to try. Huihui can't wait any longer."
Liang Heng's eyes were red, and without giving Zhou Hu a chance to react, he ran towards Gu Luan.
Zhou Hu stretched out his hand, but unfortunately he failed to catch Liang Heng.
There was no choice but to grit his teeth and run out.
Gu Luan concentrated on cutting the ice.
So far, she has cut out more than thirty blocks of ice.
Although it's a little slow, at least there is some achievement.
Hearing some noise behind him, Gu Luan turned off the cutting machine and looked back.
Two men, no older than thirty, ran out and headed straight for her.
"Rob...rob."
Liang Heng held the fruit knife in both hands, his whole body shaking with nervousness.
"Brother Liang."
Zhou Hu grabbed his clothes and wanted to say something.
Gu Luan looked at the two of them indifferently.
She could tell at a glance that Liang Heng was not the type to do this.
How could there be a robber who is more nervous and fearful than the person being robbed?
"Take out the medicine...."
Liang Heng finished speaking with difficulty and looked at Gu Luan without any movement.
Unable to hold it in any longer, he fell to his knees and begged desperately.
"Please, give me a pill! I only need one pill, that's enough."
Tears welled up in Liang Heng's eyes, and no one knew what sad thing he was thinking about.
"Brother Liang, don't be like this."
Zhou Hu anxiously tried to pull Liang Heng up.
"Please girl, my wife is sick and she's dying. I don't want to rob you, I just want a fever-reducing pill."
Liang Heng kowtowed, trembling all over.
Even though his knees were frozen, he was unwilling to get up.
"Want some medicine to reduce fever?"
Finally, Gu Luan spoke in a clear voice.
Liang Heng nodded quickly, "As long as you give me a pill, I'm willing to do anything."
"I can do that too. Please ask the girl to give us a life-saving medicine."
Along the way, Zhou Hu witnessed the affection between Liang Heng and his wife and was moved.
"You can have medicine, but you have to help me do the work."
Considering that Liang Heng had just gone astray and was not a really bad person, and she happened to be short of people.
Gu Luan decided to let him help her with the work temporarily.
If he behaved well, she could forget what happened just now.
