Lin Ru looked up and, in the reflection of the moonlight, seemed to see golden light on the distant mountains!
Although Lin Ru had used pills and drunk spiritual spring water, which made her eyesight exceptionally good, she still rubbed her eyes in disbelief!
Upon closer inspection, it truly shone with golden light, making her wonder if this mountain might be a gold mine.
But when she tried to take a closer look, the golden light suddenly disappeared, accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground!
Lin Ru immediately used her lightness skill to run back!
"Everyone, stop turning over! Another aftershock is coming! Get out of here quickly and move forward! The mountains are quite far ahead!"
"Hang in there, everyone!"
Everyone obediently ran back, except for one or two who were disobedient and wanted to continue digging for grain, but Lin Ru grabbed them by the collar and dragged them back!
Then everyone ran away quickly!
Lin Ru saw Mr. Tao, who had fainted from anger, being carried by his two frail grandsons with great effort. The two of them were walking very slowly! At this rate, they would soon be buried by the mudslide behind them!
She sighed helplessly, but finally stepped forward and took out the water pouch from her bosom. Just as Tao reached out and took it, she was about to leave.
Lin Ru unscrewed the water pouch, took a sip, and under the astonished gazes of the Tao family, sprayed the water evenly onto Mr. Tao's face!
Mr. Tao was immediately awakened!
When he saw Lin Ru still in the position of spraying water, and the water dripping from the corner of her mouth!
Mr. Tao touched his face, staring blankly at the water in his hands. He couldn't hold on any longer and fainted again!
Lin Ru was completely baffled!
So what if he spat? Is it really that big of a deal? Doesn't he know how scarce water resources are right now?
The only reason they dared to spit water on him was as a reward, because he meant no harm. Who knew he would be so ungrateful!
Tao hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her father's face!
And his face was full of terror!
After another barrage of words directed at Lin Ru, she realized that this Mr. Tao actually had mysophobia!
Lin Ru wiped the water from her mouth with her sleeve!
He said with great disdain, "This old man! He has no skills, but he has a lot of problems!"
The falling rocks from the mountain were getting closer and closer!
She pushed aside Mr. Tao's two frail grandsons, grabbed him, and ran forward quickly!
Once they reached a safe place, the aftershocks had stopped. To prevent the people behind from accidentally stepping on Mr. Tao in the dark, they placed him on a tree branch, marked it, and went back to continue managing the team!
After she left, Mr. Tao slowly woke up. He was about to wipe the water off his face when he opened his eyes and saw that he was hanging in a tree, about two meters above the ground. He was so frightened that he, who had a fear of heights, tilted his head and fainted!
The Tao family members were very agitated and stepped forward to question her, asking where she had taken the person.
Lin Ru told them to place it on the branch in front of them and explained what kind of markings to make!
Then the Tao family members quickly walked forward!
No longer the bottom of the class!
Lin Ru felt very satisfied, but she didn't expect that even though their whole group had arrived here, the Tao family's filial sons and grandsons still hadn't managed to get their grandfather down!
Lin Ru sighed, "What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
She stepped forward and pulled him down in one swift motion. Mr. Tao felt a sharp pain in his stomach and was thus awakened by the pain.
Upon seeing that he was being carried on the shoulders of this little girl, Lin Ru, this was completely contrary to the education he had received over the decades. Unable to accept it for a moment, he tilted his head and fainted again!
Lin Ru also noticed that he woke up and then fainted again. She was really helpless. She didn't mean to make things difficult for Mr. Tao. She just felt that it was a bit bad to have angered such a meddlesome but harmless old man like that!
I only helped because I didn't want this old man to lose his life because of me, but I didn't expect him to be so temperamental! I'm speechless!
She handed the person over to the Tao family and then turned away with obvious disgust!
Bai Chengye asked everyone to take stock of their belongings, check their food supplies, and see how many days they had left!
It's not a problem if we don't count them, because once we do, there's a chorus of crying!
Most of their grain and food were on a cart, but the cart was buried under mud and stones. Although they managed to dig out a large portion, they later dug up other people's things! But it was already a famine year, and there wasn't much left! Seeing it now only made them more desperate!
Today is only the second day since they escaped, and they're already in such a sorry state!
Bai Chengye roughly counted the number of people! Now it has decreased from 582 at the beginning to 442!
In just two days, 140 people have been lost!
I wonder if those people who chased after the carriage and donkey are still alive!
He had just finished sighing when he heard the horse neighing!
Bai Chengye and the others immediately stood up and assumed defensive postures, fearing that another group of bandits would come, and then they would really be wiped out!
To their delight, Bai Jian and his men returned with horses and donkey carts.
Everyone immediately rushed forward to see if any of their homes were there!
Lin Ru quickly stepped forward, because she saw Lin Bai and Lin Mo returning in their donkey cart and on horseback!
As soon as the two got out of the car, Lin Ru noticed that something was wrong with them. One of them was limping and the other was bent over, as if they were enduring great pain!
Lin Ru, Bai Shi, and Lin Qing rushed forward!
Lin Ru pulled the two of them aside for a closer look, and she determined that Lin Bai and Lin Mo must have been kicked by the animal while chasing the car!
Bai burst into tears, heartbroken, but unsure what to do. She stood there, completely lost.
Seeing that their mother, elder sister, and younger brother were all anxious with tears in their eyes, Lin Bai and Lin Mo forced a smile!
"Don't cry! We're both fine, just minor injuries! It's just a pity that the horse and donkey went berserk and threw a lot of things out!"
"They were all buried under the sand and rocks! We dug for a long time before we found most of them. Otherwise, we would have come back to reunite with you long ago!"
"And one of the buckets broke, and all the water in the other one spilled out!"
"One of our horses died. We put its carcass, along with the carcasses of the other horses, in the woods ahead. We can take it with us when we pass by later!"
Lin Ru stepped forward and pulled out their hands, which were hidden behind their backs. Those two small hands were covered in blood!
Lin Ru couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat!
"You two! Are you stupid?! If the stuff is gone, it's gone, I'll earn it back for you! How can you dig it up with your bare hands!"
Lin Bai grinned!
"In our haste, we forgot we had a knife with us!"
Lin Mo was also a little embarrassed!
"These are things that our eldest sister risked her life to get back. We must bring them back no matter what!"
Lin Ru was so angry that she raised her hand and punched the two of them on the head, once for each of them!
"Remember this! Nothing is more important than your lives and health! Money is just an external thing! You can earn more if you lose your sister! What will we do if something happens to you?!"
"If you two do it again, I'm ignoring you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and Lin Mo repeatedly promised that they wouldn't do it again!
Lin Ru took out a pill that could cure all diseases and a water pouch from her bosom. She divided the pill in half and handed it to her two younger brothers.
She wasn't sure if the medicine would work for the injury, so she had them try half a pill!
When Lin Bai and Lin Mo saw their sister take out the familiar pills again, they were so frightened that they immediately waved their hands repeatedly!
"Elder sister! Look at our current condition, taking this medicine might not be appropriate! And there's no water around here!"
"The smell is definitely quite strong!"
"Let's eat it when we're both better and there's a water source!"
Lin Ru ignored their resistance and stuffed the medicine into their mouths!
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and eat it! It's not medicine that will make you feel pain all over!"
