Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Even if we are lucky enough that no one takes the opportunity to rob, the people who stay behind might get sick with the disease. If there is no medicine to cure it, how many people can survive until they come back to collect medicine?

She is not exaggerating, but the risks are obvious to all. Instead of leaving everything to fate, why not fight hard and fight for a chance of survival?

This conversation was undoubtedly heavy. Lin Xiaoyue asked herself if she had given these people a heartfelt persuasion. If they still didn't dare to give it a try, then they could only leave it to fate.

Of course, don't count on the medicine in her space. When she bought it, she didn't expect that she would have so many people behind her, like a string of gourds. Even if she wanted to help, she was powerless.

Who can blame her for not having any cheats to defeat the gods? For example, getting rich overnight.

[Author: That’s enough, you should be happy with the space I gave you, and you want to get rich? I don’t even dare to dream of such a beautiful thing…]

In the end, no one expressed their opinion on how to proceed. After a long silence, everyone dispersed and went about their business.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't force them. After all, she was only giving suggestions and the final choice was up to them.

As soon as the meeting was over, Lin Xiaoyue was blocked by her second sister Lin Zhaodi and Xiao Si and Xiao Wu. They just remembered that they had forgotten "Maomao" in their haste to escape. It has been more than a month now. If it weren't for the dangers of entering the mountains, none of them would have remembered "Maomao" who was forgotten in the cave.

Good luck.

Think about how badly Maomao was injured. A tiger was alone in a cave. How could it recover? Even if it was lucky enough to escape the disaster, there would be heavy rains and extremely hot weather for more than half a month. How could Maomao bear it?

When the Lin sisters thought of "Maomao", they couldn't help beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret, but no one really thought of it. Now the weather is very hot, and they don't know whether its injuries have healed.

It's really worrying.

Lin Xiaoyue looked up at the sky speechlessly: ...you are worrying about nothing.

Neither of these two issues can be resolved by her alone, what can she do?

So, after noon, many people came to look for her one after another, asking when she would set off. They decided to go through the mountains, risking their lives. After all, they only had one life, and it would be the worst possible. They didn't believe it could get any worse.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't understand what was going on, until Chun Xing mentioned it when she was distributing sachets to everyone to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants.

It turned out that in the morning, when she was helping Doctor Qiao and taking care of the patients, many refugees came and knelt down when they saw anyone, asking for medical treatment, medicine, food, water, and everything else.

At first there were only one or two families, but then gradually more and more came.

When the women and children were cooking at noon, they could even feel that the gazes nearby were watching them more and more eagerly, which made the women and children feel creepy. So they went to the men in their respective families to talk.

In the end, no one knows what happened, but the few people who were originally hesitant became so anxious that they wanted to jump up and pack up and set off immediately, for fear that if they stayed a little longer, they would be eaten up by the refugees who came later.

After everyone had made a decision, Chun Xing went to the five households that came later and told them about the shortage of herbs. She also asked them if they would go with them. If not, then three prescriptions would be left for each patient. They would not be able to give them more than that.

At first, the five families were just like them and had a natural fear of the mountains. Not only were they threatened by ferocious carnivorous beasts, but they were also greatly troubled by snakes, insects, rats and ants that were difficult to guard against.

Finally, it was the hunter Lin Quanshui who first stepped forward and expressed his willingness to go into the mountains with them to fight for a way to survive.

He also realized that it was not that Doctor Qiao did not want to save them, but that he was really short of herbs, so he had to go into the mountains to explore the way and pick herbs to treat diseases and save lives.

With Hunter Lin taking the lead, the other families made decisions quickly, mainly because more and more people gathered nearby.

Among them, there is an endless stream of symptoms such as coma, high fever, severe chest pain, and coughing up blood, which has caused relatives to fall ill and made the anxious hearts even more tense.

Many people have also begun to realize that the large-scale illnesses that are now appearing are by no means simple diseases. The worst possibility is the emergence of a large-scale, highly infectious disease, such as the plague that people are most reluctant to face and avoid like a flood or a beast.

When they thought of the plague with an alarmingly high mortality rate, and that everyone infected would have no choice but to wait for death, or wait for the government to send troops to suppress it and burn down all the places where the patients had appeared... thinking that many, many people would die, everyone couldn't help but turn pale and tremble all over.

Think about it, there is still a glimmer of hope if we can cross the mountain now. But if the epidemic breaks out more seriously, I am afraid that by then we won’t be able to leave even if we want to.

Finally, among the five families, the two families who came from the same village, the widow Guihua brought her 13-year-old son, her two parents-in-law, and the childless old widower next door who had helped their family, were unable to travel with the Lin family team and were forced to stay behind because the old man was weak and sick, and his hands and feet could not move at all.

Everyone else quickly packed up their belongings, carried their food bags, and those who had carts pushed them, while those who didn't just carried people on their shoulders and followed the Lin family team, walking slowly and steadily towards the mountains.

The widow Guihua who stayed where she was, looked down at the three elderly people who were still unconscious and mentally ill due to fever, and her son who kept coughing with his head down from time to time. She then looked at the backs of the group of people who were walking away, her eyes full of despair. She moved her lips, but in the end she could only swallow her pain.

……

The noise they made when they left was quite loud and the line was very long, so it was hard for people around them not to notice.

But after following them for a long distance, they found that this group of people were digging their own graves and running towards the mountains. Everyone thought at the same time, are they crazy? They want to understand themselves as soon as possible so as not to linger on for life? ?

That's not right. If he wanted to commit suicide, he could have brought his family with him, but why did he bring livestock and the little remaining food and medicine...? He couldn't have brought them with him to pull a cart, right? ?

The two groups of people walked farther and farther away, one after the other, and gradually disappeared from people's sight.

The golden crow hanging high in the sky seemed to be making things difficult for these people. It desperately scattered its light and heat. The earth was like a huge furnace, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes.

A long team of people marched forward with difficulty. The ground became parched and hot under the scorching heat. With every step, sweat fell like raindrops. Every breath made people feel extremely difficult and hot.

But if there is a choice, who would give up the flat official road and take the rugged and difficult mountain road?
