The people of Anping Village still have great respect for scholars. Even though Bai Yu is still a child, those who have received an education are different from them.
Soon, Bai Yu convinced the adults and took the children out to look for people.
They had already searched the area around the village, so this time he was going to lead a group to search outside the village.
It will take time to bring Chen Nong back to the bandits' headquarters, so they still have hope of finding him.
The village had just been attacked by the enemy, so it was impossible to send everyone out to search for people. Therefore, he had no choice but to take the village children out to search for people. However, they could not go to the bandits' headquarters like the Chen family. Bai Yu just wanted to take people to search for people.
If they encounter danger, they can return to the village in time. Even if they can't find anyone, they have done their best, and no one will say anything.
Bai Yu's decision to go out and find people was made after careful consideration. The successive disasters had brought their village to the brink of collapse. If they did not unite this time and their hearts were scattered, they would be doomed soon.
When common interests are threatened, everyone will stick together and stand together for survival. However, when personal interests are threatened, almost no one cares about anyone else, and bystanders will only choose to stand by and watch.
Just like this enemy attack, because if the village were destroyed, everyone would die, so everyone united to fight the enemy.
If Chen Nong goes missing this time and no one in the village is willing to help look for him, the Chen family will definitely be heartbroken.
As such incidents occur more frequently, people gradually drift apart. If the enemy were to attack again, they certainly wouldn't be as united and cooperative as they were this time.
Therefore, he wanted to maintain the current spirit of unity and get everyone through the difficulties together.
When Chen Nong woke up again, it was two days later.
As soon as he woke up, Chen Kai said with a smile, "Chen Nong, I have a younger brother now, and you have an uncle now."
Chen Nong exclaimed in surprise, "What? I have another uncle? How is that possible?"
Anyone would be stunned if they woke up to find out they had an extra relative.
Chen Nong drank the rice porridge, his mind blank.
During the two days he was unconscious, a lot happened. The first thing was that all the bandits were dead, reportedly wiped out by the government.
The second thing is that he gained an uncle who was his grandparents' godson. This person was Ma Zhen, a local bully in the town.
The reason was that his family had unintentionally helped Ma Zhen avenge his family, and he wanted to repay the kindness. The two elders of the Chen family couldn't persuade Ma Zhen otherwise, so they took him in as their godson.
Chen Kai didn't want another brother, so he made Ma Zhen his younger brother. Surprisingly, the Chen family all agreed, and Ma Zhen didn't object either. So the matter was settled, and Ma Zhen became the seventh son of the Chen family.
However, this does come true, as Xiao Tian said, Chen Kai will have a strong and healthy younger brother.
The last thing was that their family actually kept the Wild Dog Gang.
Seeing that Chen Nong had finished the rice soup, Zhou quickly took the empty bowl and filled it with another.
When the dog saw Zhou, it kept circling around her. Even when it was kicked, it just showed its belly and wagged its tail happily.
Actually, Gouzi's trust in Zhou stemmed from a past event, which Zhou may have long forgotten, but Gouzi always remembered.
Several years ago, on her way to deliver something to her daughter's house, Ms. Zhou saw two children grabbing a dog and preparing to eat it, so she rescued the dog.
The dog followed Zhou for a while. Although Zhou liked the dog very much, they couldn't afford to keep one, so they put some food in front of the dog.
The dog had come out looking for food, so as soon as it saw something to eat, it started eating immediately. By the time it finished eating, Zhou was gone, and it couldn't find her.
From then on, whenever he had the chance, Gouzi would wait for Zhou on this road.
However, after Zhou gave birth to Chen Kai, she rarely went out, so Gouzi never saw Zhou again.
But the dog didn't give up. It kept learning to hunt and observe humans. Gradually, it was able to understand human language, but it still couldn't communicate with humans.
However, the dog often smells the Chen family members who have picked up the Zhou family's scent, so it will follow the Chen family members for a while and protect them.
This is why the Chen family often encountered gangs of stray dogs when they went out. They thought the dogs were there to steal their food, but actually they were there to watch them.
The dog's persistence allowed it to wait until it reached Ms. Zhou, but unfortunately, Ms. Zhou had long forgotten about it and thought it had come to steal its food. She wouldn't let it get close, so the helpless dog could only watch from afar.
Even though Zhou had forgotten about Gouzi, she was still very happy to see Zhou's Gouzi.
It longed to get close to the Zhou family, but it couldn't communicate with them, so it kept trying to find a way.
On the day Chen Nong had his accident, Gouzi happened to be out hunting. After finishing his meal, he habitually wandered around the vicinity of Anping Village.
It smelled Chen Nong's scent and knew he was a member of the Zhou family. It chased after him, realized something was wrong, and looked for an opportunity to rescue Chen Nong.
When the dog saw Zhou, it wagged its tail excitedly. Zhou learned from Bai Yu that this dog had saved Chen Nong. Since Chen Kai also wanted to keep a dog, she decided to keep it.
Everyone was puzzled as to why the dog would save Chen Nong, but most people thought it was because Chen Nong was lucky to be alive.
Chen Nong was very happy that Gouzi could stay, after all, Gouzi had saved his life.
Chen Nong woke up, and the Chen family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To thank the villagers for their help, Old Man Chen planned to treat everyone to tofu pudding, tofu flowers, and soy milk. He wouldn't bring out anything else, but there would be plenty of these.
Upon hearing that the Chen family was going to treat them to tofu pudding and tofu flowers, Bai Yu's younger brother immediately exclaimed, "Grandpa Chen, I want to eat bean sprouts and meat buns."
Er Ya shouted unhappily, "What's there to eat? My family doesn't even have enough to eat!"
She also wanted to eat bean sprouts, but because of the weather, the bean sprouts grew very slowly, and her family couldn't get any.
Her family's crops are gone, and there will be no food left. She can't do what she used to do, pestering her grandmother to make meat buns. She has to be careful with her stored food, otherwise everyone will starve to death.
More than half a month passed quickly, but the heavy rain still hadn't stopped.
The houses in Anping Village that were located in low-lying areas were all destroyed, and the area outside the village was now a vast ocean.
Casualties began to appear in the village: people were crushed to death when houses collapsed in the middle of the night, and others encountered danger while searching for food in the mountains...
In the first few days after the torrential rain began, everyone was still hopeful, thinking that the rain would probably stop in about ten days at most.
While waiting for the rain to stop, people would organize themselves to fish and salvage things, hoping to find something useful.
