Village Chief Luo also came over: "Er Ya, this journey has not been easy. If it weren't for you, we definitely wouldn't be alive today. You deserve this bow."
After saying that, he looked at everyone and said, "Er Ya saved our lives, and also the lives of your mother and children. She's like a goddess descended to earth. Shouldn't we pay our respects?"
In an instant, a deafening voice rang out: "They should worship! They should worship!"
Song Ning's lips twitched; the more she spoke, the more bizarre it became.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around her knelt down. Not to mention others, even members of the Liu family rushed to her side, knelt down, and kowtowed several times.
Song Ning: ......
Will she die young?
She did these things not for anyone's gratitude. It wasn't easy for everyone to get to where she is now, and she would be grateful if they just stopped causing her trouble.
She wasn't the kind of person who selflessly dedicated herself; in her past life, she was just an ordinary, hardworking commoner.
To be honest, she has never done any good deeds in either of her two lifetimes.
However, they were all partners who had gone through thick and thin together, and Song Ning couldn't bear to watch them die of thirst on the road. Anyway, she didn't need any, so giving them away wouldn't be a problem.
Before the two village chiefs could say anything more, Song Ning, fearing they might say something even more outrageous, quickly said she was tired and climbed into the car.
Outside, people were busy distributing water.
Village Chief Luo, disregarding his own nausea, busied himself distributing water to everyone.
When the Liu family arrived, Village Chief Luo glanced at them.
Since being taught a lesson last time, the Liu family has been much more behaving themselves, not bothering the Song family or daring to cause trouble again.
Village Chief Luo scooped water for them. As long as they behaved themselves, since they were all from the same village, he wouldn't make things difficult for them.
The Liu family has a terrible reputation in the village now, and nobody wants to associate with them. They're almost out of food, and nobody wants to lend them any.
Village Chief Luo ignored them and, after scooping up the water, deliberately disregarded the expectant looks from the Liu family.
What good is he? He can't conjure up food.
With water, everyone had hope, and they ate their dinner happily, almost forgetting the tragic scene in the village a couple of days ago.
The next day, we continued on our way and walked for most of the day before finally seeing the mountains further away from this patch of wasteland.
Where there are mountains, there should be trees; where there are plants and animals, there should be water.
However, it seems we won't be able to get through today.
Looking around through binoculars, Song Ning frowned slightly: "There are people behind us."
However, there weren't many people; four people on horseback in front and behind, and a carriage in the middle, which was already very close to them.
Before Song Ning could even tell everyone to take cover, a commotion broke out behind them.
They quickly ran over with the village chief and only then could they see who it was.
A horse-drawn carriage, followed by four men riding tall horses, looked quite impressive.
Song Ning initially thought that it was because they had more people and took up more space that the people behind them found them in the way, so they spoke rudely and even drew their swords.
I asked and found out that it was someone walking at the back of the group who had never seen a horse up close before and excitedly went over to them.
Before he even got there, someone held a knife to his neck.
Seeing that these people were not to be trifled with, Song Ning quickly stepped forward: "I apologize for my earlier rudeness..."
With a "whoosh," before she could finish speaking, a knife was placed against her neck.
"Take one more step and don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chu Ning froze. Couldn't these people just talk properly? Why are they so temperamental?
She originally intended to say a few kind words to apologize, and then let the matter rest.
Gao Tiedan drew his knife and rushed out, pointing at the man and yelling, "Put down your knife, or I'll fight you to the death!"
Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan also rushed out, pointing sticks at the man: "Release Er Ya immediately."
Village Chief Luo shouted from behind, and instantly, men, women, and children in the group, holding their weapons, all surrounded him.
"lay down!"
"Release Er Ya!"
The people on horseback were dumbfounded. They had seen many of these people on the road, but this was the first time they had ever seen them so united.
They were walking normally, and these people came up to them. Can you blame them?
For a moment, the two teams were locked in a stalemate. Looking at the large number of people behind him, Song Ning smiled. "You must be sweating buckets, right?"
"Alright, put the knife down," the person in the carriage finally spoke.
It's a woman.
"We have important business to attend to, why waste so much time on nonsense?"
"Yes, Miss."
As the group gradually disappeared into the distance, an old woman in the crowd spat out, "They're all fleeing for their lives, why are they putting on airs?"
Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan quickly stepped forward to check if Song Ning was injured.
"I'm fine. Just stay away from people like that in the future."
Just because of curiosity, I almost got into trouble. It wasn't worth it.
Looking at the distance, they realized that with another day, they would be able to reach the foot of the mountain ahead.
The next day, people walked even harder, afraid that someone would hold them back, and they encouraged each other as they walked.
Just as we were about to reach the foot of the mountain, we spotted a carriage and horses parked there.
Who else could it be but those people from yesterday?
Upon seeing them approach, the people inside the car instructed them to stay away from them.
Song Ning ignored them; they looked down on them, and they didn't want to get involved.
After finally seeing the mountain, everyone unloaded their things and prepared to spend the night there.
Just as they finished unloading their things, someone came over.
As soon as the other person opened their mouth, Song Ning's expression turned sour.
They actually felt that their presence was disturbing their young lady's rest and asked them to move.
Song Ning was initially a little apologetic about what happened yesterday, since it was their people who were being inconsiderate and getting involved first. But now? I'm so sorry.
Both Village Chief Zhou and Village Chief Luo's faces darkened. There were quite a few people on the road, so why were they the only ones being asked to move?
Besides, did her family build this road? Just because she walked on it once doesn't mean it belongs to her family.
Song Ning asked with a smile, "Brother, where is your young lady from?"
The man replied indifferently, "What's it to you?"
"I'm just curious and wanted to ask where everyone is from? After all, if we're asking you to make room, we need to know where you're from, right?"
"Jiangzhou." The man was extremely proud, but unfortunately, none of them knew it.
Song Ning's smile slowly faded: "Jiangzhou, huh? It should be in the south. Your young lady... you're quite nosy, coming all the way from the south to show off here."
The man's expression changed, and he was about to draw his knife, but Song Ning had already gathered a lot of people around him, some holding knives and others holding pots, all staring at him angrily.
Song Ning smiled smugly and raised her eyebrows slightly. There was nothing she could do; she had the most people.
Everyone's fleeing for their lives, who's going to pamper her or move her to another place? Why doesn't she just fly to the moon?
Everyone treats Er Ya like a treasure now, and nothing can happen to her. If any of these people dare to bully Er Ya, they'll fight them to the death.
Song Ning crossed his arms and said, "Go back and tell your young lady that this is the road of refugees, not her home. We'll talk about it when this road becomes her home."
