Chapter 70 Curious



Cao Ya lowered his eyes, looked at Chen Zhaozhao, and patted the yellow mud on his hands.

"Sister Shen is joking. I have always liked reading some storybooks and listening to the stories of Mu and his mother. I want to hear more."

After Cao Ya finished speaking, she moved closer to Shen Zhaozhao and said in a low voice, "Sister Shen, look at the head of the village. I need to talk to him more. He has something on his mind. Don't act crazy like a fool later."

Shen Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, somewhat suspicious.

That being said, this is the truth.

Instead of letting the head of the village worry about the affairs of the village, it is better to divert his attention.

Cao Ya smiled, turned around and continued to follow Mu Laoer, as if he was determined to dig out the infatuation story of Mu Laoer's family.

Mu Laoer was a warm-hearted person. When Miss Xiao pestered him, he thought that it was useless to worry about Miss Xiao down the mountain, so he decided to talk to Miss Xiao, which made him feel better.

In this way, he told Cao Ya the whole story of Mu Yu and his mother.

"His mother came here seven years ago when Dafeng was just beginning to settle down. I remember it very clearly."

"One day, Mu came to my house and said that he went to the mountain to chop wood and saved a wounded girl. He brought her back and I helped him find a doctor here."

"My wife helped the girl to wash and clean her wounds and change her clothes. I saw that the girl was extremely beautiful. Then I looked back at Mu 꺘."

"Hey, this guy is stunned."

Cao Ya laughed out loud at the right time, and the atmosphere of the team rushing down the mountain became much better.

"Then what? Did they fall in love with each other?" Cao Ya urged the head of the village to continue.

"Where is he?" Mu Lao Er waved his hands. "Mu Xiao looked so stupid, I didn't like him at first."

"We asked the girl what her name was."

"She said her name was Jin Niang, she had no parents, no home, and she ran to us during the war."

"She stayed in our village to recuperate, and as she did so, she fell in love with Mujiu."

Speaking of this, Mu Laoer thought of something and sighed, "It must be fate that my body had recovered, but my mother left the village a month ago, saying that she wanted to look for a relative."

"Not long after returning, he fell ill."

A villager echoed, "Yes, Jin Niang fell ill, and Mu Yu collected herbs every day to take care of her, fearing that something might happen to her. But now she has met Long Ba. If she just dies, Mu Yu will really go crazy."

Mu Laoer raised his head and sighed.

"It's all my fault. If only I had listened to you."

The topic came back.

Jiang Hu couldn't bear to see his good brother blaming himself, and hurried to comfort him, "It's not your fault. If we had seen Shen Yu's abilities many times along the way, he would have definitely escaped this time."

Who would be so inexplicable as to listen to the family of an exiled official saying that there would be a flood soon?

"Miss Shen, you are a very capable person," Mu Laoer's eyes lit up, looking at Shen Zhaozhao, hating her so much that he worshipped her as Guanyin, "Can you calculate how many people in our village survived?"

Shen Zhaozhao looked into Mu Laoer's cloudy eyes.

Flickering in his eyes was the village head's last hope.

Mu Laoer, this is to hope that everyone in their village can survive...

But she did it.

"Mr. Village Chief, I am just a person who likes to read some idle books and I don't know how to tell fortunes." Shen Zhaozhao said helplessly.

"Nothing, nothing." The light in Mu Laoer's eyes dimmed a little, and he continued on his way with everyone, "Let's walk faster, and we may save more people."

Gods and Buddhas gave 놊 hope, but 놙땣 relied on human efforts.

In the second half of the journey, without Cao Ya to liven up the atmosphere, everyone just focused on getting on with their journey. The closer they got to the foot of the mountain, the heavier their hearts became.

Seeing that they would reach the bottom of the mountain after walking a little longer, Shen Zhaozhao frowned.

With every breath, the stench of the mud became stronger.

She first walked quickly to the front of the team, looking around, then let her mind enter the space and quickly found a piece of coarse cloth.

After leaving the space, fold the cloth into a triangle shape, cover the mouth and nose with it, and tie it behind the ears.

If she has enough time, she would prefer to buy an N95 mask at the seafood market.

But the team was moving, and if she stopped for too long, it would be easy for people to notice her abnormality.

"Sister Shen, what's this?" Cao Ya looked at the cloth on Shen Zhaozhao's face and thought for a while, "Do you think it smells bad?"

Shen Zhaozhao nodded, "Fortunately, I brought a sweat towel with me."

Cao Ya nodded, then moved closer to Shen Zhaozhao, covered her mouth, and asked slyly, "Shen Zhaozhao should be pregnant?"

Shen Zhaozhao was ashamed.

Is this something that a teenage ancient girl said so loudly?

To Shen Zhaozhao, Cao Ya is a mysterious person.

It seems like she is a time traveler.

To say that she is just an ordinary girl from ancient times is even more like it.

"No," Shen Zhaozhao denied dryly, "The smell on the mountain is so strong. You have to smell it carefully when you get to the village."

After saying that, she walked down first.

Cao Ya exclaimed, "Ah!", suddenly realized, and hurriedly chased after her, "Sister Shen, do you have any extra towels?"

Shen Zhaozhao shook his head.

Cao Ya followed the team down the mountain with a sad face.

The situation in the village was even more serious than what they had seen from the mountain.

All the houses were washed away, and mud mixed with mountain rocks flooded the road.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at the mud in front of him. If he wanted to save people, he had to wade into the mud.

But they now have no necessary protective measures. If there is anything sharp in the mud and they step on it, they will lose a foot at the least.

"Oh, it's so deep." A villager was anxious to save people and waded into the mud first. Just as he took a step, the mud covered his thighs.

Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly stopped him from moving forward and asked everyone to find long wooden sticks and put them in front of them to test the depth.

"If the sticks touch the bottom, we must not step in."

Shen Zhaozhao reminded.

This time, what she said became the rule that everyone followed silently. No one raised any objections, and everyone found a wooden stick nearby.

Cao Yaxiao picked up a stick and wanted to go down, but was stopped by Shen Zhaozhao.

"They will definitely rescue some wounded people in a while. Come and help me."

Shen Zhaozhao released him.

She intuitively felt that Cao Ya's eagerness to save people was related to Jin Niang.

Cao Ya didn't have any special reaction. After hearing what Shen Zhaozhao said, he simply threw the stick in his hand and patted the dust off his hands.

"Okay, what do I do?"

She agreed so readily that Shen Zhaozhao even suspected that she was too suspicious.

Shen Zhaozhao watched as everyone leaned on sticks to rescue people. "Someone is injured. The wound must be contaminated by mud and water. We need a clean water source to boil. The cool temperature is suitable for flushing the wound..."

Shen Zhaozhao spoke eloquently.

Cao Ya listened very seriously.

Shen Zhaozhao began to wonder in her heart: Is she really overthinking?
