Although Yun Ruoxi is soft-hearted, she has no idea of saving the world. She thinks it's good enough that she can take care of her own family, and she has no time to care about others.
No matter what others choose, she will not interfere, but will continue to move forward at her own pace.
The villagers who were originally seeking help in the mountains saw five wooden boats and thought that such a wealthy man must have a lot of food.
So many people were trapped on the top of the mountain. Although there were some wild vegetables and trees, they had almost been eaten up in the past few days.
What they are facing now is not the problem of having no place to stay, but the problem of not having enough food.
As a result, when he saw Yun Ruoxi and their fleet, he hoped that it was the imperial court's disaster relief team. Even if it was not, a fleet from a wealthy businessman would be fine.
This way everyone can get food, but with so many refugees, no one has spoken out about it.
The flood came suddenly and everyone was in a hurry to escape, so they really didn't have many valuables with them.
Many people, even in peacetime, do not have much money at home, so now they are thinking about selling food, or to put it bluntly, asking for it directly.
If the other party doesn't give it to you, everyone will want to grab it directly.
As a result, they saw the five largest ships had left and only the broken raft at the back came over. Some people had been hungry for so many days, and the dark side of their hearts was aroused.
Looking at the departing boat, he cursed, "How could you just stand by and watch us die? I curse you all to drown. If you don't save us, you'll be punished. You black-hearted bastards, the richer you are, the more evil your heart becomes."
The few families who had just controlled the raft to get closer to the body happened to hear the cursing words of the people on the mountain.
Some smart ones obviously felt something was wrong, frowned, and quietly reminded everyone not to go up the mountain first.
After all, after so many days of surviving on the water, I have gained a deep understanding of human nature, so when interacting with so many people, I habitually keep a watchful eye.
Several families who were on good terms with each other looked at each other, and slowly slowed down their movement towards the mountain, letting those who were anxious to get ashore go up first, while they remained behind without making a sound.
As soon as we approached, we heard what the people on the mountain were saying, and after everyone saw them, they felt like they were being stared at by hungry wolves.
It's only been a few days and everyone has become like this.
The people standing at the outermost edge, upon seeing them approach, could not wait to ask: "Do you have any food left? If so, we would like to buy some."
After saying that, without waiting for their answer, he started searching on their raft. When he saw the backpack, the message conveyed in his eyes was that he wanted to search for it.
In fact, you are not mistaken, they did exactly that.
Before they could reply, the people on the mountain had already jumped onto the raft.
The raft, which had been relatively stable, turned over after this turmoil, and all the people and belongings on the raft fell into the murky water.
At the beginning, the few families who were more alert saw that the people in the mountains were obviously in a bad mood and felt that they were starving.
In order to minimize the risk, they were unwilling to seek temporary peace and entered a den of tigers and wolves.
Just look at what happened to the family in front and you will know that the people in the mountains are probably not good people.
And those people at the beginning clearly had a hatred of the rich, and they decisively chose to escape.
If I had just wanted to see what the situation was like at the beginning, now that I know the true identity of the people in the mountains, I would have run away faster than a ghost.
Some of them were more careful. Thinking of the wooden boat they had been following, they had never thought of coming here to ask for help from the beginning.
Moreover, when passing by, even the rowing speed was much faster. If this place is really a suitable place to avoid floods, why don’t they come?
After following for so many days, the people on the raft at the back have some understanding of the wooden boat at the front.
Being able to use wooden boats when floods come shows real strength, but Yongzhou is not on the coast and few people know how to ride a boat.
Although everyone was very puzzled about the origin of their wooden boats, they did not dare to approach them and talk to them.
Originally, they had their own little ideas and wanted to follow the fleet on their journey. The team ahead had more people and they all carried swords, so their safety was greatly improved.
Now they really regretted it. Without the people on the wooden boat in front, they would have been committing suicide by coming out on their own.
But it's too late to regret now, the fleet has long gone to who knows where.
They just ran away without caring about the family on the raft that was attacked.
Among the people on the mountain, the first person to jump down to grab something seemed to be encouraged.
The invading gaze was instantly directed towards the remaining rafts. If they had not run so fast, not giving the people on the mountain a chance to jump down, they might have all been robbed by now.
The people on the mountain were jumping for joy, and the people on the raft felt like they had survived a disaster, so they paddled the raft even faster.
By the time they chased in the direction of the wooden boat, they could no longer see its exact location, and they could hear the cursing of people on the top of the mountain from time to time.
The only difference is that at first they were scolding the fleet, but now they are scolding them.
This time they learned their lesson and did not dare to come into contact with the refugees easily. The families on the rafts were originally from the same village and were old acquaintances. After discussing it, they decided to continue traveling together.
But there are three rules: you cannot rescue anyone on the street at will, and you cannot get too close to strangers, so as not to cause trouble.
This time it was a flood. The most dangerous things in the water were some small fish and shrimps that had washed out of the river. The most dangerous ones were some small snakes.
Even if they don't look for land, as long as they wait for the flood water to recede and save some food, they will not be in danger.
At times like this, the most dangerous thing is the human heart.
Having learned from this experience, everyone on the raft became more cautious and would not trust others easily.
As for Yun Ruoxi, since she saw the raft team leaving, she hurriedly asked everyone to speed up the rowing.
She really wasn't used to the feeling of having someone following her, and always felt like someone was watching her no matter what she did.
Everyone also knew that Yun Ruoxi didn't like to get too close to strangers, so when someone followed her, not chasing them away was already the greatest kindness.
After all, the other party did not disturb them, nor did he follow too closely, but still kept some distance. Yun Ruoxi felt uncomfortable, but could only endure it.
After they rowed hard and left this dangerous place, they felt the air was fresh.
Everyone has been watched these days, and the biggest hardship is not having enough to eat.
