Seeing that Li Zhuzi didn't say anything, Li Huaer knew that she had guessed right.
"You have nothing to say after I guessed your true thoughts?"
"I tell you, from today on, I will no longer care about you."
When Li Zhuzi heard what Li Huaer said, he was completely stunned.
Don't care about me? How can that be possible? I am her biological father! How can a daughter ignore her biological father?
"I'm your real father!"
Li Huaer gave Li Zhuzi a mocking look.
Li Zhuzi felt uncomfortable when Li Huaer looked at him.
"Dad? Do you treat me as your own daughter? If not, why should I treat you as my dad?"
After what happened today, Li Zhuzi was already angry, and Li Huaer made him even more angry, and he almost suffocated.
"Li Hua'er, I'm telling you, don't be so shameless. If you continue to act so unreasonably, don't blame me for getting angry."
Li Huaer's face was full of disdain.
"Falling out? Didn't we fall out a long time ago? When you pushed my mother and she died, and you ran away without caring, we already fell out. Why are you pretending to be affectionate with me now? A father-daughter relationship?"
Li Zhuzi was choked by Li Huaer's words and couldn't respond for a long time.
"Do you think that if someone as unfilial as you joins the village chief's team, they will accept you?"
Li Huaer didn't even raise her head.
"That's much better than being a heartless and ungrateful person like you. If the village chief and the others knew what you did, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to stay."
The father and daughter chatted with each other, and soon the firewood in the fire burned out.
Neither of them took the initiative to add more wood, and they just let the fire go out.
After waiting for a long time until daybreak, the two of them set off to continue their journey.
But neither of them paid any attention to each other. They were clearly father and daughter, but they were like strangers.
When I returned to the place where I had separated from Lin Jiuyue and the others, they were no longer there.
"Hua'er, look, they've all left. Now it's just the two of us, father and daughter. We should work together. If we continue to make trouble like this, it won't be good for either of us."
Li Huaer looked straight at Li Zhuzi.
But he thought about Li Zhuzi's words in his heart.
Being a girl in the mountains, it's not always easy. Even though Li Zhuzi is a nobody, he's still my father. Even if he's unreliable, he's still more reliable than an outsider, right?
"good."
Li Zhuzi was secretly happy when he saw Li Huaer agreed.
No matter what this girl said, she was still her own daughter. See, wasn't she? No matter how harsh her words were, she still cared about her biological father.
"My daughter, Dad knows you are a filial child. Good, good, good."
Although the two of them still had some grudges against each other, they were finally no longer like strangers as before.
Lin Jiuyue led the team on a long detour, clearing the way as they walked. Gu Chengyan and Lin Qiye would go ahead from time to time to inquire about the news.
"September girl, many families in our team have no water. The most urgent thing now is to find a water source."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"Village chief, Ji Liangchuan has gone to look for the villagers and asked them to hold on. Those who have water can share some with those who don't. As long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficult time."
The village chief sighed.
"Alas, there aren't many people in our team, so we've divided up what we can. You know, water is precious right now, and even those who have water don't have much left. It might be difficult to ask them to share it."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
There is quite a bit of water in my space, but I can't take it out openly. I have to find a suitable opportunity.
"Then have everyone gather the water together and distribute it according to the population, so that everyone can drink. If anyone refuses to cooperate, have them leave the team."
Now is not the most difficult moment. If the people in the team are not united at this time, it will be more difficult later.
We must take advantage of now to bring everyone together.
"Will this work?"
We had been walking together for over ten days, and each family had its own food and water supply, with no centralized management. It would probably be difficult to gather water together all of a sudden.
Lin Jiuyue also knew that things were not that easy, but she still wanted to give it a try.
"Village chief, give it a try, maybe it will work?"
Sure enough, the village chief repeated Lin Jiuyue’s words to the villagers, which instantly aroused their dissatisfaction.
"Village Chief, this, this is probably not a good idea."
People who have water speak in a tactful way.
"Why is it bad? We are all from the same village and have lived together day and night. Now that we have encountered difficulties, we can help each other and overcome them."
"Village chief, what you said is wrong. We used to be villagers who lived together day and night, but now everyone is fleeing famine. No one has much supplies. If I share them with others, what will happen if my family runs out of water?"
"That's right. For a poor family like us, when we had nothing to eat and were starving, why didn't they share their food with everyone else? If we hadn't followed Jiuyue and the others up the mountain and dug up some wild vegetables to fill our stomachs, we would have starved to death by now."
"That's right. If you want to share the water, you can. But we also have to gather the food and share it together. Otherwise, we won't be able to take the water out."
Someone in the team happened to be short of food, but not water, so he took the opportunity to ask for food.
Lin Jiuyue frowned after hearing this.
I still underestimated people's hearts.
When faced with difficulties, everyone wants to protect themselves. Food and water are the hope of survival.
People who usually seem to get along well with each other now seem like strangers.
The village chief turned and looked at Lin Jiuyue.
If we were to ask who has the most food and water in the team, it would undoubtedly be Lin Jiuyue, Ji Liangchuan and the others.
But he was the one who did the most work along the way, leading the villagers to find wild vegetables and water sources, and also distributed a lot of meat to the villagers.
If I ask them to share the food and water now, I won't have the face to ask.
Lin Jiuyue stood aside and said nothing.
Gu Chengyan was also silent.
Those in the team who had no food or water could only watch the villagers quarreling. Now that they had no supplies, they had no confidence to speak.
"Village chief, why don't you just forget it? We can still hold on. Don't let everyone ruin the friendship of the village for us."
At this time, food and water mean life, and no one dares to say that what they have can guarantee that they will be used all the way to the destination.
The village chief sighed and was about to give up when Lin Jiuyue spoke.
"Since no one wants to, forget it."
Hearing this, the village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
Wasn't it September who brought this up? How could she give up so easily?
