Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The village chief was really worried that these people would hit a wall sooner or later and cause a terrible disaster.

If Lin Xiaoyue knew, she would definitely tell the village chief: Let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others. Worry less and you will live a long life.

Unfortunately, she didn't know. Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

-----------------

In front, the team of Lin family and Doctor Qiao were advancing step by step on the road. The mule cart led the way, Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi were in the middle, and Doctor Qiao's ox cart was behind.

Now, there was a refugee group behind them that they had met before, so the possibility of being attacked from behind was low. Lin Xiaoyue and her sister walked between the two cars, and they could also take care of the sudden situations in front and behind at the same time. In this way, everyone could feel more at ease.

"San Ya, do you think Er Gou and his mother will come?"

Lin Zhaodi walked side by side, looking at the endless road, her heart seemed to fall into an endless abyss, with no way to the bottom. In addition, the plague was discussed during the dinner, and Lin Zhaodi felt even more uneasy.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Is her second sister worried?

Yes, in this era, medical technology was not well developed, sanitary conditions were insufficient, and the mortality rate after contracting the disease was terribly high, which is why people were terrified when talking about the plague and regarded it as a flood or a beast. Therefore, few people here are not terrified when talking about the plague.

However, plague is just a general term. As for Lin Xiaoyue's shallow medical knowledge, it is entirely due to the melodramatic TV dramas at 8:30 every night, various broadcasts, the periodic publicity of drug introductions in front of pharmacies on the streets, and the publicity knowledge broadcast by the aunties in the neighborhood committee on loudspeakers in various communities from time to time during the epidemic. She has absorbed some superficial knowledge about medical matters through multiple channels.

Plague, smallpox, influenza, cholera, malaria, etc. were all generally referred to as plagues in this era. These serious diseases rarely occurred in peacetime, but they would erupt in large numbers after a disaster. The infected patients would develop severe symptoms, and the epidemic was rampant and spread rapidly, bringing devastating damage to the people of this era.

In short, no matter which dimension or era you live in, the situation is not optimistic once you contract a high-risk infectious disease.

……

"Save...save me, someone...someone come save...save me."

Suddenly, after passing a rocky area, an intermittent and extremely weak cry for help came from behind a huge rock as tall as a person on both sides of the road.

In the dark night, accompanied by the chirping of unknown mountain insects, the ghost-like sound seems particularly creepy.

Perhaps the person calling for help heard the sound of animals kicking and wheels rolling over the road, and the originally weak cry for help suddenly rose two pitches.

The sisters Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi, who had been on guard all the time, looked at each other and exchanged glances silently. They did not intend to find out who had called for help. They just wanted to get there as soon as possible and leave this place.

But the people in the cars at both ends were so curious that they couldn't help but find out what was going on.

Lin Xiaoyue really wanted to say: Curiosity killed the cat.

Unfortunately, to the people in the cars in front and behind, it was as good as saying nothing.

Unable to bear the fact that the people in the two cars were more honest than each other, Lin Xiaoyue asked Lin Zhaodi to be careful and alert to prevent any fraud, while she herself approached the boulder step by step with a bone-cutting knife.

Sure enough, behind the boulder, a man in a green robe was half-lying on the ground, with his long black hair flowing like a waterfall. He raised his head at a 45-degree angle and looked at the woman who was walking towards him step by step with a knife in his hand with his deep dark eyes.

how to say?

The man had willow-like eyebrows, a body like a jade tree, bright eyes, white teeth, and beautiful lips. Under the moonlight, his fair and delicate skin was like a piece of fine unpolished jade, crystal clear.

If it was their group that came over, no matter if it was a man or a woman, even anyone else would probably sigh: How could there be such a stunning beauty in the world who could not tell whether she was male or female.

But for Lin Xiaoyue, who is immune to young handsome boys and loves love, her first reaction was: Brother, you are not professional enough.

Although the green robe was a little messy, it was clean from head to toe without a trace of dust, which was very distracting.

Moreover, the man's long hair was loose, his shirt was half open, revealing the skin of his neck as fine as fine porcelain, and he cried for help before. He should have been playing the role of a little white flower being ravaged and ravaged, but Xiaoyue not only did not see the slightest panic on the man's face. On the contrary, when the man observed her intentionally or unintentionally, a quick glance of determination flashed across his eyebrows, which did not escape her keen observation.

Obviously, this is a bureau.

Beauty trap???

Lin Xiaoyue was speechless.

I didn't know that these days, besides relying on coercion by force and playing the victim to gain sympathy, robbers would actually have such bizarre creative ideas.

Really... I've broadened my horizons to see all kinds of monsters and demons.

Lin Xiaoyue saw through the man's plan at a glance, but there were still people who fell for it.

Especially in an era where "everything is inferior except for reading", scholars have a much higher status than most ordinary people. The person calling for help was wearing a green robe, which was the symbol of a scholar. Suddenly, some people in the Lin family completely forgot the matters that Lin Xiaoyue had repeatedly reminded them of and the contents of the three rules. (See Chapter 99)

Lin Xiaoyue: ...

Seeing Miao anxiously approaching the man, he asked, "Hey, are you okay? Can you stand up?"

The man was stunned by Miao who suddenly trotted over from the side, his mind went blank. Then he looked behind Miao, 1, 2, 3, 4, a total of four young girls in their prime, but they just stood five steps away from him, looking at him nonchalantly from a distance. They were not at all as he thought, impressed by his peerless appearance, scrambling to support him, caring for him, and being considerate to him...

There was only a middle-aged woman squatting beside him. She seemed anxious, but she still remembered to avoid suspicion. She did not lend a hand to help him, but only moved her lips to ask about his injuries.

This, this is too far from what he expected... The man felt that these people's eyes should be thrown away, they are blind, what are they doing here?

But thinking of the plan, he could only bite the bullet and continue to act, "No, I'm fine, thank you auntie."

Normally, the other party should pat his chest lightly, look relieved, and sigh, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay, young man, why are you traveling alone, where are your family? No, no, it's too dangerous to be alone, you should come with us, at least we can take care of each other on the road."

But Miao was soft-hearted, and his knowledge of the ways of the world was limited to dealing with neighbors in the village. He had no experience in dealing with strangers asking for help, and he just nodded in cooperation.
