Chapter 84 Help, Brothers and Sisters, Save Me
It is snowing heavily now and the snow is very thick.
Due to previous floods, the green trees in the community and along the road had already been covered with ice and snow.
The five people could only move north.
The terrain there is higher and there is a forest, so you might try your luck there.
It took them nearly an hour to reach their destination.
At this time, there were already more than twenty people cutting down trees.
These people had empty eyes and tired faces, and they cut down trees numbly like robots.
Even though he saw Meng Ci and his four companions, he only took a quick glance and then continued to chop trees mechanically.
Meng Ci could actually understand.
After finally surviving the heavy rain and acid rain, these people thought they had survived to the end and could live a normal life.
But unexpectedly, the temperature is starting to drop again.
The living people have probably accepted the existence of the end of the world. They don’t know what will happen in the future. They may die one day, so they just live one day at a time.
Meng Ci and a few others chose a place and started cutting down trees.
The terrain here is high, and there was no water accumulation during the previous rainstorm, but the snow was more than one meter thick, so even if we wanted to cut down the trees, we could only cut half of them.
If they cut down too many trees, they wouldn't be able to take them back, so Meng Ci and Shen Que worked together to cut down a tree.
After the trees are felled, they are sawn into logs more than one meter long.
Then they tied them together with a rope, and each person pulled one end of the rope and started walking towards home.
When I get home, I will slowly use an axe to chop it into usable lengths.
Although there were three of them including Cheng Yu, Mao Xinyu was a girl after all. Even after so many days of training, she was not as strong as a man, so they only chopped down one tree.
But in the end, he tied together some branches that were dropped by others and asked Mao Xinyu to pull them.
After getting ready, the five people started to walk back.
“Help! Help!”
From a distance, Meng Ci and the others heard a little girl's voice coming from the front.
After walking a little further, they saw a little girl of seven or eight years old. Her lower body was buried in the snow and she was struggling desperately with her hands.
When she saw Meng Ci and the others, it was like seeing the light in the darkness. She called out hurriedly, her voice anxious and full of longing, as if she was a frightened bird seeking shelter.
"Brothers and sisters, save me, save me."
The girl's face was red from the cold and her nose was running.
Mao Xinyu dropped the firewood in his hand and went forward to help.
Meng Ci quickly stopped her.
"Teacher Mao, look at that little girl. She's well dressed and has some flesh on her face. I guess her parents take good care of her."
"It's raining heavily now. We can't leave her outside alone."
"Maybe there's no food at home now, so let her come out as bait."
"Her parents have dug a trap and are now waiting around for you to take the bait."
Mao Xinyu stopped and felt that what Meng Ci said made sense, so he didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.
The few people were only twenty meters away from the little girl, so the little girl naturally heard what was said.
The tears suddenly accumulated in her eyes, and she didn't know whether to fall or not, which made her even more heartbreaking.
"Brother, I'm not a liar, I'm just lost."
"Wow, wow, wow, dad and mom are out chopping trees and they didn't want me to go out."
"But I was too bored at home alone, so I followed him out secretly."
"As a result, I got lost while walking."
"Brother, sister, I'm really not a liar."
"Please, save me."
When Mao Xinyu saw the little girl like this, there was hesitation in her eyes.
"Ms. Meng, I don't think she's a liar."
Mao Xinyu thought that the person in front of him was just a little girl of a few years old, how could she have such superb acting skills.
The novel says that in the end times many people take advantage of children to gain other people's sympathy and then seek profits.
Therefore, when Meng Ci saw the little girl in front of him, he didn't believe what she said.
Besides, the snow was frozen hard, how could she fall?
"Chen Que, what do you think?" Meng Ci asked.
Shen Que said: “If this is really the end of the world, kindness will not be praised by people, but will instead cause disasters.”
"Self-protection is the best solution."
Obviously, Shen Que and Meng Ci share the same opinion.
Mao Xinyu listened to the advice and went back to collect firewood to prepare to leave with them.
"oops!"
The little girl who had been crying suddenly screamed and her body seemed to slide down.
"Help, wuwuwu, help."
Mao Xinyu couldn't bear it anymore and threw the firewood in his hand.
"What if she's not a liar and what she said is true?"
"If you are really a liar, then I admit it. If something happens, just leave and don't worry about me."
After Mao Xinyu finished speaking, he walked towards the little girl without hesitation, ready to die.
"Wow, sister, save me!"
The little girl looked at Mao Xinyu with tears in her eyes and even stretched out her hand to her.
"Don't be afraid, sister is here to save you." Mao Xinyu stretched out her hand to the little girl and tried to pull her out.
Seeing that Mao Xinyu had been gone for such a long time without any danger, Cheng Yu and Duan Yan thought that the girl was really in danger, so they went up to help.
"Bang!"
"Xinyu!"
Cheng Yu and Duan Yan took two steps and saw Mao Xinyu suddenly fall from where he was.
Soon, five people suddenly appeared in the snow not far away, three men and two women, wearing white cotton coats and holding shiny long knives in their hands.
Two men and one woman quickly pointed the long knives in their hands at Mao Xinyu in the pit, and the other two people worked together to pull the little girl out of the pit.
"Want to save her?" A man nearly 1.9 meters tall with neat short hair stared at several people and asked.
Cheng Yu said with a dark face: "What do you want to do?"
Mao Xinyu felt her ankle was sprained in the pit. Although the pit was only one meter deep, she couldn't get out given the current situation.
What's more, there were several long knives pointing at her.
Thinking of what Meng Ci had just said, Mao Xinyu could only blame himself for being soft-hearted and not listening to him.
"Don't worry about me, just leave now."
"I've lived enough anyway."
Mao Xinyu thought that with so many people outside having been around for so many years, Meng Ci and the others might not be their match, and that it was all his own fault, so he couldn't let them get involved.
Although Mao Xinyu said so, Cheng Yu and the others couldn't just ignore it.
Meng Ci and Shen Que also put down the firewood in their hands. Judging from the situation, if they were not killed, they would not be able to escape easily.
The little girl squatted beside the pit with her face in her hands. She changed her pitiful look and smiled, "Sister, thank you for saving me just now."
"Since you have come to save me, then save me to the end."
"I haven't eaten for several days, sister, can you tell me where you live?"
Mao Xinyu rubbed his feet and looked at the little girl viciously after hearing this.
"Don't even think about it."
