Chapter 209 They All Want to Live
Lin Yun and others also realized that they were not as alert as before. Perhaps they had lived in comfort for too long and had forgotten that the outside world was not so good. Lin Yun, in particular, had a better understanding of this. After all, he had encountered many things when he was wandering before. Although he had met good people, he was more malicious. Some people even targeted them just because they were wanderers.
How long had it been since then, and he had forgotten? If it hadn't been for the goddess's reminder, he would not have reacted.
It was because the life in the tribe was too good, so they subconsciously thought that the outside world was the same, and completely forgot that the outside world was not so safe.
After Shen Xiaoxiao's reminder, they could be calm when they saw those unfair things, and did not give others any chance at all.
And the later they got, the more they realized what the goddess said, that there would be more unpeaceful things on the road, and they could not care so much.
"Master, his fever won't go down." Rongrong said anxiously. If the fever can't go down, he will go crazy.
Shen Xiaoxiao had a blank expression on her face. She placed her hand on the child's pulse and took it back after a long time. Then she picked up a pen and wrote a prescription on the paper. "I'll give him acupuncture. You follow the prescription to pick up the medicine and boil it." Shen Xiaoxiao looked tired. Not only her, but everyone was like this.
After more than ten days of traveling in the rain, everyone was already exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted. Although adults could persist, it was difficult for children to persist. Although they had straw raincoats and hats, and they also held umbrellas, they would get wet more or less. In addition, the wind blew, and they couldn't sleep well at night, so they were prone to colds. If they didn't bring medicine when they went out, they really didn't know where to go to collect medicine.
It has been raining for seventeen days, but there is no sign of stopping. Moreover, they followed the sea water behind them as they walked. Except for resting at night, they didn't dare to stop at all. Not to mention that people couldn't stand it, even cows couldn't stand it.
"Everyone drink two more bowls of ginger soup later."
"Okay." Everyone's spirit was not very good, but they all responded.
They were already very lucky. They had encountered many bad things along the way, and some people died on the way. Although they were not very good, at least everyone was together and still alive.
"Someone must take turns to watch the night when sleeping at night. If you are sleepy, you can change two more shifts, but you can't fall asleep when you are on duty." Shen Xiaoxiao reminded them. They carried so many things, how could they not be targeted? Those people didn't move just because they were afraid of the things in their hands. Some of them didn't believe in evil and came to rob their things at night, so they beat them up and broke their hands and feet and threw them out.
This trick of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is really effective. No one dared to provoke them for a long time.
But now everyone is in trouble. She can feel their restlessness and they are ready to move when they see their food.
"Okay, Goddess, we will pay attention." They also know how conspicuous they are with so many things. I don't know how many people want to come up and rob their things. They don't do it now, but they are afraid of their large number. When they are really forced, maybe those people will no longer care.
The next day, after a simple meal, they continued on their way. They had no destination, so they could only take one step at a time. There were many people fleeing like them, and their condition was relatively good. At least they could fill their stomachs and eat a mouthful of hot soup when they were hungry.
"Goddess, look." Suddenly someone pointed behind them and shouted.
Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and saw clearly that her pupils shrank. They were shocked by the scene in front of them and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
They actually saw the mountain moving. Although the speed was not fast, they could clearly see that the position of the mountain had already shifted and was getting farther and farther away from them, and the trees kept falling down, as if the earth had cracked a crack, and there were no more living things in the place. The sea water flooded instantly, as if there had never been life in that place.
The sea water continued to surge towards them. Shen Xiaoxiao reacted and took them away quickly. As soon as they left, the sea water followed. They did not dare to stop for a moment, but only focused on hurrying on. The younger children were put in the car and pulled away, and the others followed closely, fearing that they would be left behind.
The sea water was constantly eroding the land, and they could clearly feel the ground shaking. Seeing the ground behind them sinking, Shen Xiaoxiao's heart tightened and she immediately said, "Don't use the car anymore, hurry up." People have everything, but if people are gone, then everything is gone.
"Goddess, if the food is lost, what should we do?"
"It's not fast to carry the car, everyone should take a little, as much as you can, there is hope for people to survive." Shen Xiaoxiao said loudly. Fortunately, there are many people in the tribe, and even if one person carries a bag, they can take a lot away. Although it is not enough to eat for a long time, it can at least cope with it for a while.
"Hurry up, if the things are gone, they can be planted back, but if people are gone, there will be nothing."
Everyone started to move, and soon the things in the car were emptied, "Hurry up." Shen Xiaoxiao stood by and directed them to move forward. Seeing that they were reluctant to leave the car behind and take it away, she just frowned and didn't say anything. If she could, she wouldn't want to. Now that it was empty, the cow pulling the empty car would also go faster.
Not only them, but everyone was fleeing. Even if someone fell, no one cared. Now their only thought was to stay alive.
"Hurry up and leave us alone." Several elders in the tribe panted. After so many days of traveling and running desperately, they were already exhausted.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but insisted on leading them. Others who didn't carry anything also helped them and lowered their heads to hurry on. Everyone was very tired, but no one gave up. Even the cubs followed the adults closely, not complaining about the hardship or tiredness.
Seeing that their team was walking slower and slower, the old people directly shook off their hands and said, "Hurry up."
"Let's go together." Because of the hurry, Qingshan and the others looked bad, and they couldn't stand taking turns to carry things. Now everyone was barely holding on. No one gave up easily. They all wanted to live.
"With us, no one can leave. You hurry up. We have lived for so long, and it's enough." The oldest old man said, "If it weren't for the tribe, we would have died long ago. Now it's our turn to do something for the tribe." They have no children. If it weren't for the tribe that has been supporting them, they would have died long ago. Now they can't be dragged down anymore.
The other old men followed suit, saying, "Yes, we should have gone to see the Beast God a long time ago."
"Don't say discouraging words, we will definitely be able to leave safely." Shen Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Instead of talking so much here, it's better to save your energy and walk more."
"Yes, let's go, we won't abandon you."
"Let's go."
The old people looked at them with tears in their eyes, "We are a burden to you."
"What do you mean by burden or not? We are all family. Let's go. Don't say such things in the future. It hurts us to hear them." Shen Xiaoxiao sighed.
