After taking precautions, Xu Yuehuai looked at the others around her. Seeing the hopeless expressions on their faces, Xu Yuehuai guessed what had probably happened during the time she was unconscious.
She hid herself in the crowd, preventing others from noticing anything unusual about her.
They constantly observed the lifestyles of those around them, trying to figure out what those people were planning to do to them.
After observing her closely for most of the day, Xu Yuehuai realized that she had been rescued by the surrounding villagers. The villagers had no idea how to take care of these refugees; they simply provided them with a place to rest and occasionally gave them some food, but that was all they did.
After witnessing what was happening, Xu Yuehuai immediately realized the problem around her. If so many refugees continued to gather together, an immeasurable disaster would surely occur.
Floods and mudslides are not the most terrifying things. What is most terrifying is the failure to quickly deal with the aftermath of these geological disasters, which can lead to serious situations such as epidemics.
However, these villagers had no idea how important this matter was, nor did they know how to make any better arrangements. They were just doing their best.
If we want to properly settle these disaster victims, we still need government officials to come and help.
Just then, the villagers came over carrying large pots. The pots were black and contained some vegetable leaves and starchy foods, but no rice; it was just a porridge.
"Come on, everyone, let's eat!"
"Everyone line up properly, and don't push or shove!"
Everyone has one!
"If you just grab them randomly, there won't be any left!"
The surrounding disaster victims didn't look well. They hadn't had a proper rest recently and were all exhausted. Even if some people wanted to compete for the loot, they were too weak to do so.
Upon hearing what the villagers were saying, it immediately and slowly moved to the front of them, and consciously lined up.
During the days that Xu Yuehuai was unconscious, after people realized that she was not in any immediate danger, they stopped taking good care of her and left her among the other disaster victims. She did not wake up to eat and did not eat anything for the past few days.
Now that she saw food, Xu Yuehuai's stomach immediately started rumbling, and she felt extremely hungry.
She also lined up behind the disaster victims to receive food with everyone.
But when it was her turn in line, she couldn't tell what the food was at all. It smelled sour and she had absolutely no appetite.
But if they didn't eat these things, there was nothing else to eat, so in order to save their lives, they had no choice but to accept that mushy stuff.
Then, Xu Yuehuai immediately went to a corner, picked up a broken bowl, looked at the porridge inside, took a deep breath to prepare herself mentally, and then slowly began to drink the porridge.
The paste was very thin and tasted sour. I don't know if it was because of the vegetable leaves or because it had been sitting for too long.
However, in order to save his life, Xu Yuehuai would eat anything.
She pinched her nose and drank it down in big gulps, finishing all the paste in no time.
This is absolutely agonizing! Those things are not fit for human consumption!
After eating the porridge, Xu Yuehuai felt extremely nauseous, as if her taste buds had been assaulted.
She was originally someone who made delicious food, and eating this sour porridge directly affected her sense of taste.
If she were given another chance, she would probably rather starve than eat this kind of thing again.
However, she only had one chance, and she made this choice to save her life, so she had no regrets.
After Xu Yuehuai finished eating, she put the bowl down at a designated gathering point.
But when Xu Yuehuai wanted to go back to the corner she was in, she was suddenly bumped into by someone.
It was a man with a somewhat sleazy appearance; it was unclear whether he had deliberately bumped into Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai only felt that when she was bumped by that lewd man, he even tried to touch her.
But she reacted quickly and dodged it, retreating to a safe place to the side. However, the lewd man became extremely angry when he saw her do this, and charged straight at her again.
Xu Yuehua realized this time that the lewd man was doing it on purpose, so she quickly retreated in another direction. However, she didn't expect that someone else would also crash into her from that direction.
She was knocked so hard that she grazed a tree branch, leaving a large cut on her hand. She realized her hand was cut, as if she had touched something dirty, and the wound immediately started to itch.
Xu Yuehuai quickly looked at her wound, which seemed to be stained with something black. She didn't know what it was, but she guessed that it might contain a virus, otherwise her wound wouldn't have suddenly become so incredibly itchy.
Why did you hit me?
Xu Yuehuai spoke to the two men.
But the two men completely ignored Xu Yuehuai, staring at her private parts with particularly lewd eyes, then whistling as they walked away.
Now they are in this temporary refugee camp, and everyone is struggling to survive. Is there anyone who wants to come and help Xu Yuehuai? After all, no one else wants to cause trouble.
If something were to happen inside this temporary refugee camp, the villagers who manage the area would probably ask them to leave.
They didn't want to lose their relatively stable lives, so they all pretended not to see anything and remained where they were, with no one standing up for justice.
Seeing the situation around her, Xu Yuehuai realized that among these refugees, she could only protect herself; no one else would help her.
She didn't say anything more, covered the wound on her arm, and quickly walked back to the corner where she had been.
However, that corner had already been taken by others, so Xu Yuehuai had to go to another place.
When she arrived at a place, she saw a young boy who was helping to take care of his grandfather.
When Xu Yuehuai saw this scene, she was moved. She had also taken care of her grandfather in the same way before, but her parents were very irresponsible. She had to support him all by herself and could only watch him pass away in the end.
