Chapter 167 Rescue



First, tiles fell from the hole in the roof, making a crisp sound when they hit the ground.

As the wind grew stronger, the hole above my head grew bigger.

Everyone huddled together, trembling, not knowing what to do.

"Let's find a way to break down the door and rush out! We can't stay here and wait to die!" Someone was hit by tiles seven or eight times in a row and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up against the wall and wanted to walk to the door.

However, the crowd was so dense that he couldn't leave whenever he wanted.

"Don't move! Someone stepped on me! Let go!"

"Help! Wuwu... Am I going to die here? I don't want to die yet!"

"The tiles are falling again! Damn! I've had enough! If those bitches don't let me go, I'm going to make them wish they were dead when I get out!"

Crying, shouting and cursing mixed together.

Lu Yunxi slowly raised the corners of her lips and fell asleep peacefully.

Outside the girls' houses, protective shields blocked the wind and rain, leaving only silence inside.

The sounds of ghosts and wolves howling continued all night long.

The next day.

Everyone had just finished breakfast and was about to go out to work.

A little girl ran over in a panic.

"Oh no! There was a storm last night, and the shabby house has collapsed! I can't find Auntie!"

Lu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that there was an old lady in that room.

Everyone rushed out in a hurry and gasped when they stood in front of the dilapidated house.

"Was the rain so heavy last night? It actually collapsed the house. I didn't hear a single sound last night!"

"Luckily, Miss Lu and Miss Zhou rescued us all, otherwise we would have been the ones crushed by the house today!"

"Should we save them? Forget about finding Auntie. They're already like this... We haven't even found anything to eat for ourselves today!"

"Of course not! If we save them, they will only harm us. Anyway, we didn't kill them. It was God who couldn't bear it and destroyed them!" Several aunts who had been here for a long time said firmly.

After everyone decided on the plan, they started to take action.

It’s okay for other people, but they still want to see if they can save that old lady.

Lu Yunxi didn't expect that the girls would decide to abandon these men, but she would not stop them.

The reason why they are fine now is not because these people let them go, but because she, the master, is secretly helping them.

If she wasn't there, who knows what would have happened to these girls.

Thinking of the piles of female bones he saw on the mountain, a chill flashed in Lu Yunxi's eyes.

Maybe it was not her destiny to die.

Not long after they dug, they actually saw the old lady.

They carefully moved away the tiles, stones and other things around them and carefully carried the old lady out.

Lu Yunxi reached out and sniffed his breath, his expression slightly relieved: "He's still breathing, but he's seriously injured. I need some herbs to help him."

"I'm going to pick some herbs. You guys keep an eye on her." A light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly had a good idea.

Lu Yunxi took a basket and a small hoe for collecting herbs and plunged into the forest.

Many of the flowers in this mountain have miraculous uses.

The secret manuals and various scrolls within the Misty Rain Palace contained recipes for medicines that mostly used herbs native to the Forest Continent, rather than those from other continents. For example, the flowers and herbs commonly used on the Flower Continent were rarely seen.

She could experiment here and see if she could create some prescriptions of her own.

Of course, what she hoped most was that a medicine that could cause amnesia could be made quickly. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about the old lady being obsessed with the people in the village.

She did it right away. She picked all the new and strange plants she saw and planned to try them out when she got home.

Lu Yunxi was happily collecting, but she didn't know that a quarrel had started again in the village.

At noon, Lu Yunxi, who had just finished collecting, entered the village and noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.

Originally, the girls in the village got along harmoniously and would greet each other when they met, but what happened after she came down the mountain?

I met many girls and women along the way, but every time I greeted them, I got no response.

Lu Yunxi stopped and stood there to observe for a while.

Whether they were tilling the ground, washing clothes, or cleaning, they all had their heads down, with a melancholy look between their brows.

They always stopped halfway through their work, sighed deeply for a while, and then continued working.

Lu Yunxi: ? ?

"What are you doing? You didn't sigh when you were caught before? Why are you sighing now?" She looked at the person who had been sweeping the floor for a long time but still couldn't clean it, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Not yet..." The girl held the broom in one hand and slammed it hard on the ground, with one hand on her waist. However, when she looked up and saw her, her words suddenly stuttered, "Miss Lu, Miss Lu...you're back?"

"What were you about to say? Why were you sighing? Why didn't you say anything?"

The girl sighed deeply, "Miss Lu, Miss Zhou just woke up, and when she heard we weren't going to rescue those people, she insisted on rescuing the men in the shabby house as well. No matter what we said, she wouldn't listen!"

Lu Yunxi nodded: "So that's what you're worried about?"

"That's right! How could Miss Zhou be so naive?! She actually wanted to save them?! If we save those people, won't we be the ones who suffer?" The little girl waved her broom, looking very angry. "She also said that even if those men did something wrong, we shouldn't punish them. Instead, we should send them to the government and let them deal with it."
