Angkor didn't keep anyone in suspense and simply recounted the information he had gathered in his mind.
"If that's the case, then they should have left this area."
“They’ll come back after they leave. Last time we thought we’d let those people go and that was the end of it, but they still brought people back to retaliate. Luckily we were alert at the time, otherwise we don’t know how much more serious the losses would have been.”
"If these people escape, who knows how many more tragedies they will cause in the future? Only if we can find these people can we have peace of mind."
"It's not that easy. The military is also inquiring about them everywhere, but so far they haven't found anything."
"Sigh, the place that provided the clues is too far away from us. If we follow it all the way there, we won't be in a good place with no one to talk to."
"There's nothing we can do now. We can't just abandon our own homes and go to blockade them."
At this point, the conversation reached a dead end, and everyone looked at Si Cheng, because he hadn't said much from the beginning.
"We can only leave this matter for now and deal with it later depending on the situation. Everyone, please pack your things up in a bit, as we will be heading back to the village first thing tomorrow morning."
Although Si Cheng had come here to find out more about the other party's situation, now that he knew they had already run so far, he had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.
The city was unusually lively tonight, with an incandescent light hanging high in every corner. Although it couldn't illuminate the area like it was daytime, it was still much better than the usual pitch-black nights.
Because of these lights, many villages started to visit each other, especially Pinghe Village, where a lot of people came to inquire about news.
Now everyone knows that their village has already exchanged all the supplies in advance, and representatives from various villages have started to surround Sicheng to find out what conditions were offered to give them priority.
There was nothing to hide, so Si Cheng simply told them what had happened. Everyone was surprised by this turn of events. However, even if they were asked to go deep into the mountains to find a habitable place, they wouldn't dare, because many villages had been attacked by animals recently.
“Sigh, your village is really strong. A few days ago, some of our villagers went to work in the fields and were gored by wild boars. We don’t know if they can be saved.” Gao Liang also started to complain to his cousin. “Now we have to go to the fields in groups of three or five before we dare to go.”
"No defenses have been put in place?" Yun Qi was not very clear about the location of the farmland in Gaojia Village.
“Our village is different from yours. We only built a moat at the entrance of the village. There is a large area of farmland outside the village that we can’t fence off because it’s too open on all sides.”
"Are there many fields there? If it really doesn't work out, we'll just have to give up for now. Anyway, the weather is getting drier and drier, and it's hard to have a harvest. It's really not worth it to take such a risk to plant crops there."
Yunqi was worried when he saw his cousin's thin body. He was afraid that if they encountered wild beasts coming down from the mountain one day, he would not be able to handle them.
"There's no other way. That piece of land accounts for two-thirds of the village's land, and no one is willing to give it up. Now everyone goes to the fields at the same time and returns to the village at the same time."
Gao Liang saw his cousin being surrounded by representatives from several villages. He whispered to Yun Qi, "The people in our village were thinking of asking my cousin to help clear our mountain area. I don't know if they'll agree this time. But you'd better tell my cousin not to agree. We often hear different animal calls in that area behind our mountain. It must be very dangerous."
"Don't you want your cousin to go and help?"
Gao Liang looked at Yun Qi as if he were an idiot, "Even if my cousin is very powerful, he can't possibly deal with every animal, and besides, this isn't even my cousin's responsibility."
Yunqi looked at his cousin with some surprise. He was completely different from his uncle, who had a somewhat saintly personality. He must have been influenced by his aunt.
Just as the two cousins were quietly catching up on their recent lives, Yunyang brought Cao Wulin over.
Yunqi was a little surprised that Cao Wulin had come to find her so quickly, but she still smiled and stood up to greet him.
Gao Liang was also a little surprised that someone would come looking for his cousin at this time. "Xiao Qi, aren't you going to introduce her?"
"This is my former colleague, Cao Wulin, and this is my cousin, Gao Liang."
After the two shook hands and greeted each other, he looked at Cao Wulin and said, "This place is rather simple. If you don't mind, let's sit here and chat for a while."
Yunqi pointed to several relatively flat, broken cement slabs he had picked up from the ground, which they used as stools.
"Could we go over there and talk for a bit?" Cao Wulin glanced at Gao Liang standing beside him, seemingly having something difficult to say.
“Okay, let’s go over there to talk.” Yunqi pointed to a relatively open area in front of them.
"Xiao Qi?" Gao Liang was a little uneasy seeing his cousin agree so easily.
Yunqi shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine. They had been colleagues for several years, so she could rest assured. Besides, she was confident in her abilities; she could handle any unexpected situation.
"Yunqi, I didn't expect to come looking for you so soon, but I really don't know who else to turn to." Cao Wulin looked at his old colleague apologetically, perhaps his next words were putting him in a difficult position.
"Hehe, that's too formal. I've troubled you a lot in the past. What happened?" Yunqi said the last sentence with extra caution.
"I just wanted to ask if you have any fever reducers. A child in our village has been running a high fever and there's no sign of it going down. We've asked many people, but no one has any fever reducers." Cao Wulin knew he was asking this time with a bit of luck, since no one would carry fever reducers with them at all times.
"Have you seen a doctor?" Yun Qi knew that there were military doctors in the city.
“We looked at it, but they only told us to use physical methods to cool it down. We tried every possible way, but we couldn’t lower the temperature even a little bit.”
"We do have some commonly used medicines with us, but they are Chinese medicines and don't work that quickly."
"Really." Cao Wulin had only come to inquire with a sliver of hope, but he hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. "It's alright, at least there's still hope. I just don't know what we need to exchange for it. I'll go back and gather it right away."
"Isn't this a slap in my face? I can still afford such a small amount of Chinese medicine. Wait, I'll go and bring it to you right away." Yun Qi ran straight over to find the apprentice who had come with the team this time.
"Could you please give me a dose of fever reducer first? I'll deliver the medicine when I get back." For Pinghe Village, if they need medicine, they just need to replenish the medicine later.
