Chapter 181 Just a Little Food
For safety reasons, the resting place was chosen with its back against a cliff, and a road passed through the resting place to minimize the possibility of a sneak attack from behind.
Unfortunately, the sound came from behind.
Liang Yuanwang touched his nose and said, "What the hell, is there really someone who is not afraid of death and climbs up from the cliff?"
[It's been so long. If it's really coming for us, it should have come over by now.]
Liang Huanxue muttered to herself, expanding her sight, but didn't find anything special, and thought it was some kind of accident.
Just as I was thinking about it, a faint cry for help came from nearby.
Liang Huanxue followed the sound and soon found the place where the sound came from.
At the edge of a deep pit, a little girl clung to the vines on the edge of the pit. A woman also held her daughter, desperately calling for help.
An acquaintance.
"Dad, help." Liang Huanxue shouted hurriedly.
This woman was the one her mother asked to take care of her.
The woman was from another village. There was a conflict between the two villages and the people from that village left through another road. Liang Huanxue thought the woman had left as well, but she didn't know why she was here.
Liang Yuanwang obviously remembered it and rushed to rescue the man.
The woman was still in shock, holding her daughter and asking, "Are you okay?"
Although the girl was scared, she held back her tears when she met her mother's gaze and said, "Mom, I'm fine."
"Sister, why are you here?"
Liang Yuanwang asked with concern after rescuing the man.
"Dead, someone is dead." The woman came to her senses and pointed at the deep pit.
Liang Yuanwang and Zhao Er were just focusing on rescuing people and didn't notice the situation in the pit. Thinking of this, they immediately ran into the pit to take a look.
Liang Huanxue also took a look and fell silent.
It was a bit dark at night, and I couldn't see the face of the person in the pit clearly, but I could see roughly what he was wearing. The person in the pit was none other than Zhao Meifang whom I had just met today.
Before Liang Yuanwang could ask, the woman started talking: "I thought you must want to rescue those men. My husband is also in there. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find me when he got out, so I sneaked out with my daughter to follow you."
She pointed to the deep pit with a trembling voice: "I came here and found that she was following you, so I wanted to follow her, but she fell in. I took my daughter with me to save her, but we failed and my daughter almost fell in as well."
Speaking of which, the woman still feels a little scared.
It was normal for people to die while fleeing famine, but if she killed her own child in order to save others, she would regret it to death.
Liang Yuanwang sighed and said, "I don't know how to tell this kid Gousheng."
Zhao Er suggested: "Since Gousheng already thinks his mother ran away, let's just assume that his mother really ran away and not tell him."
Liang Yuanwang nodded in agreement, but when he looked at the woman, he fell silent again.
He was very grateful to the woman, but he didn't know if everyone would agree to add another person out of thin air.
The woman seemed to know Liang Yuanwang's concern and said hurriedly, "Brother, I won't eat your food. My daughter and I can find food. If you mind, we can follow you from a distance."
"If we follow you from a distance, we will just die." Liang Huanxue muttered, "It's just some food, no big deal."
It was enough in her little space.
Liang Yuanwang agreed immediately after hearing this.
"Thank you for last time, sis."
The woman's surname was Zhu, and her name was Lihua. She was so grateful that she knelt down and kowtowed to the villagers: "Thank you all. When my husband comes out, we will definitely repay you."
Everyone enthusiastically made room for Julie and her daughter, but soon left in silence.
After walking for about another half a month, most of the snow on the mountain had disappeared, with only a small part still hanging on the branches, about to fall off. Taking advantage of the time when everyone was resting, Liang Yuanwang followed Liang Huanxue's reminder and came to the place where Chunyu Zhuo left his things.
Before they even reached the place, Liang Huanxue had already looked away, eager to see what good things the little hero had left for her. When she saw this, she almost jumped up in anger.
There is a small open space that is very well hidden. There is a rock wall on top to protect against wind and rain, and dead branches and vines in front to serve as cover. In front of the dead vines, there are even a few footprints of wild animals. It is obvious that wild animals often appear here. If ordinary people see it, they will definitely avoid it.
But at this moment, the dead vines were pulled apart with brute force, and there were still spots of red on them. Those people must have been injured when they pulled apart the dead vines.
There are still pressure marks and some scattered grains on the small open space, as well as sporadic mottled remnants, which show that a lot of food was once stored here.
Liang Huanxue seemed to see a pile of food flying past her eyes, and she let out a long sigh.
[Who the hell stole my food? ]
Because she was too emotional, she suddenly hummed in Shen Yuefu's arms, and her body trembled. Zhu Lihua beside her hurriedly looked over and asked worriedly: "Is there something wrong with the child?"
Shen Yuefu smiled and shook her head: "The child is fine, maybe he just kicked his legs."
Shen Yuefu was talking nonsense in a serious manner. Zhu Lihua was a little skeptical, but she still chose to believe it: "Yes, the child is growing up now, so it's normal for him to kick his legs."
Here, after Liang Huanxue finished yelling, she wanted to catch the food thief and beat him up, but after thinking about it, she suppressed her emotions. After all, no matter how much she yelled, she would not fight back even if the food thief was right in front of her. The most urgent thing was to think about how to get more food. The people in their team were almost finished eating.
Liang Huanxue looked for an opportunity around and walked a few steps forward. There was an inconspicuous small hill, only half a person's height, and it seemed to be quite deep. From what she could see, it was pitch black inside, and there was a faint sound of water coming from inside.
Liang Huanxue's eyes lit up and she immediately had an idea. She had plenty of food, but she just lacked an opportunity to take it out. Now the opportunity has come!
Liang Huanxue wanted to rub her hands so hard that she put enough food for ten days in without saying a word, and then pretended to be shocked.
【Hey guys, there's food here! 】
Liang Huanxue brought his father to the front of the small mountain. Liang looked far away and pushed aside the cover in front of him. He immediately saw bags of food. Although he couldn't see how deep the bags were, he knew they were quite a lot. His eyes were fixed on them.
He quickly asked the few people who followed him to move all the things out. When he finished moving the last bag, the sleeves of both his hands were already wet, but there was not much water in the bag containing the food.
Liang Yuanwang wondered: "It's strange that the food is not bad."
Liang Huanxue guessed that there was water inside, but she didn't expect it to be so outrageous, so she hurried to find a solution.
"It's good to have food. I can eat for a while."
Liang Yuanwang's mind was successfully diverted, and he said happily: "That brat is really good, it's worth raising him for a month."
Liang Yuanwang should have attributed the credit for the release of grain to Chunyu Zhuo.
Liang Huanxue was happy to see it happen. With someone to support her, no one would doubt her. She was in a good mood and was even willing to tell a few lies.
[As expected of a young male protagonist, he is so thoughtful that he even considered the possibility of someone stealing food and even placed it next to him. He is so handsome. ]
