Hearing this, Leng Xiaoran understood instantly and nodded repeatedly, his big eyes and long eyelashes fluttering, looking very clever!
On this side, Chaoge had almost finished emptying the wooden bowl and the porridge was ready.
Many refugees nearby had already packed their belongings and started heading towards the top of the mountain.
Seeing this, Chaoge called the boys back, had breakfast, put on the backpack, and followed.
No one knows how far the mountain top is ahead.
But everyone knew that although there would be more dangers deep in the jungle on the top of the mountain, at least the road would be much flatter, so everyone gritted their teeth and climbed up desperately.
But the further they walked, the more Chaoge felt that something was wrong.
She discovered that the piece of black jade hidden in her lapel seemed to be a little warmer than before, and she also seemed to faintly discover that the black jade was emitting green spots of light.
But there were people all around, so Chaoge didn't dare to take out the black jadeite to examine it carefully.
"Big sister, our water bottle is full again. Did Little Blackie secretly go and fetch some water for us?"
On the way, Chaoge deliberately let the black panther carry a backpack filled with several bamboo tubes and leave for a while. When it came back, Leng Furong couldn't wait to check the bamboo tubes.
"Well, remember what elder sister said, don't make it public."
The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more difficult the road becomes. In some places, you may even need to cling to the surrounding tree roots or rocks to get up.
The appearance of Xiao Heizi not only helped Chaoge and the others solve the problem of food and clothing, but also solved the problem of Leng Xiaoran's inability to walk on a slightly easier road.
Perhaps because Leng Xiaoran was young and didn't know what a leopard was, he was just focused on having fun while sitting on the black panther's back and didn't notice the horrified looks from the refugees around him.
On such a dangerous road, it is natural that many accidents will happen.
Many refugees who had weak legs or were old and had no one to take care of them almost lost their grip and fell down at this time.
Some who were lucky only rolled for a distance before being stopped by trees, while others who were unlucky hit rocks during the rolling process and fainted.
And just as an old woman happened to roll down, she happened to be heading towards Chaoge and his group.
The refugees in front were afraid of being implicated and had already carefully avoided her, but Chaoge just reached out and grabbed the old woman!
The old woman was so frightened that she thought she was dead, but suddenly someone grabbed her clothes!
"Are you all right?"
Chaoge gritted his teeth and grabbed the old woman's clothes tightly.
The slope below where she was was almost 70 degrees steep. If she hadn't held on to the old woman, she would have definitely hit the big rock below based on the direction she rolled down.
Moreover, if she didn't hold on to the old woman, and Leng Liecheng behind her didn't have time to dodge, Leng Liecheng might have been knocked off the mountain as well!
The old woman was still in shock, and quickly steadying herself, she quickly climbed onto the tree roots above her head with one hand, and tightly grasped Chaoge's arm with the other. She gasped for air and raised her head, repeatedly thanking Chaoge.
"Thank you, thank you girl!
You are really kind-hearted, fortunately the old woman...”
Chaoge looked back, intending to see if the old woman had a firm hold so that she could let go.
Unexpectedly, while the old woman was thanking him, she looked up and unexpectedly met Chaoge's eyes.
Before the old woman finished her words of gratitude, a burst of ecstasy suddenly appeared in her eyes!
“Little pigeon!?
I, am I seeing things?
No, little pigeon, your face!
What happened to your face? "
The scar on Chaoge's face was only ten days old, and the scab had just fallen off, which was when the scar looked the most hideous and terrifying.
The old woman, who was originally surprised, was shocked when she saw Chaoge's face half destroyed, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
When Chaoge heard the old woman calling her name, she took a closer look and found that the old woman was none other than Aunt Li, who used to work with her in the backyard of the county government office.
Chaoge's heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to just let go and add fuel to the fire, letting Aunt Li get lost!
She didn't know whether meeting Aunt Li was a good thing or a bad thing. After all, her real identity now was not a refugee, but a criminal who was harboring a fugitive!
Before Chaoge could react, Aunt Li glanced sideways and saw Leng Liecheng who had climbed up with her!
Naturally, the moment their eyes met, there was another burst of panic!
"This is not the place to talk. Aunt Li, I will escort you up first. Be careful and don't step on empty space again."
Chaoge knew it was too late. Even if he explained, there were refugees all around and it was not the right time, so he carefully reminded him.
Aunt Li nodded repeatedly: "That's great! I finally see someone I know. It seems that I am not destined to die!"
Finally, after sending Aunt Li up, Leng Liecheng's young face was filled with worry all the way.
After walking through this difficult uphill section, the road above became much easier to walk on. Aunt Li felt a lot more relaxed, and Leng Liecheng finally found an opportunity to talk to Chaoge alone.
"Sister, what should I do?"
“Don’t worry, since we’ve already collided, just wait and see what happens.
She just said that she finally met an acquaintance. It seems that her life was not easy during this journey fleeing famine with the refugees.
She definitely doesn't want to give up on us, her lifeline. At least, she definitely won't dare to betray us before we reach a place with government officials."
After hearing Chaoge's words, Leng Liecheng, who had been worried all the way, finally felt a little relieved.
Of course, Leng Furong was still shocked when she saw Aunt Li.
Nearing noon, after half a day, everyone finally reached the top of the mountain!
Everyone deeply feels the hardships involved.
In half a day, countless lives were lost on this steep hillside, ending their lives miserably.
Their families didn't even have a chance to collect their bodies.
Once they reached the top of the mountain, many people could not bear the inner torture and the suffering along the way, as well as the helplessness and sadness of losing their loved ones, so they just lay down on the open space on the top of the mountain and burst into tears!
Some were crying for finally reaching the top of the mountain, while others were crying for their relatives and friends who lost their lives at the foot of the mountain.
The atmosphere was sad and desperate, and Chaoge and his group were more or less infected.
Uncle Dong couldn't take care of them because several of his villagers had rolled down the mountain and their lives or deaths were unknown.
After Uncle Dong discussed with his group, they decided to send a few younger and stronger laborers with ropes to search for the missing person.
“Why did you have to go up the mountain to look for it?
Wouldn't it be easier to search halfway up the mountain?
After finally climbing up the mountain, Uncle Dong asked people to go down to search. Why?"
