Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"Yes, yes, you are right. If she is alive, we must see her body. If she is dead, we must see her body. Since we haven't even found her body, it means she must be alive." Lin Erya's scattered eyes suddenly brightened up again because of Lin Xiaoyue's words, "But...but, you said that my eldest sister is not here. Where could she go?"

"Second sister, don't worry. Think about it, we survived a disaster last night, and all the survivors in the village have left to seek refuge. The situation in Hexi Village over there, eldest sister, looks much more tragic than ours. So many people died, and the survivors certainly couldn't stay, so they must have all escaped."

"That's right...that's right. It's better to run away. It's better to run away than to stay and wait for death." Lin Erya was so worried that she was confused and dizzy. She had no idea what to do. She grabbed Lin Xiaoyue's arm and asked anxiously, "Where will the eldest sister go? Sanya, where do you think the eldest sister will go? Will she come back to Linjia Village to find us? Or will she go to the town?"

"Second sister, second sister, calm down, calm down." Lin Xiaoyue tried to calm Lin Zhaodi down. Right now, every moment was precious to them. They couldn't afford to mess up, and couldn't afford to waste time. Every moment they delayed would bring them closer to danger.

Not to mention, the earthquake caused so many deaths and was likely to cause a plague.

The people fleeing from the famine in the north are pouring into the town in large numbers. When the town can no longer accommodate more refugees, they will inevitably disperse to the villages below.

If the famine spreads, the refugees will surely cause chaos. If the town is in chaos, the situation in the villages will only become more serious.

Coupled with the series of earthquakes, the impact is definitely not limited to their area. If the disaster spreads to a wider area, the number of victims will increase exponentially, and the entire dynasty will be in turmoil.

Once the dynasty is unstable, it will inevitably attract the attention of foreign enemies. At that time, internal and external troubles will erupt like a volcano, and the lives of ordinary people will become even more miserable and difficult.

Lin Xiaoyue was confident that with her abilities, she could still protect the Lin family.

With space in hand, there is no need to worry about them going hungry in the short term.

If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that I can take the Lin family into the mountains and live a life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains", which is also good.

Of course, these are just her concerns. The development of events may not be as bad as she imagined. It is better to take precautions before it happens.

Lin Xiaoyue comforted Lin Zhaodi while pulling people away.

Suddenly, a few weak cries for help attracted the attention of the two.

Although now is not the time to meddle in other people's affairs, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and they cannot go against their conscience and watch someone die.

Even though Lin Xiaoyue had seen many unlucky people who were blackmailed for saving people in the apocalypse, Lin Zhaodi had just experienced the chaos of the world and had not seen the ugly side of human nature.

The two followed the sound and dug out a woman in her thirties under a stone house. The woman had a broken leg, blood coming out of her mouth and nose, and her hair was messy like weeds.

The woman was lucky. One of her legs was broken by the empty wooden cabinet and she was bleeding all over the floor, but she was still hanging on. Perhaps she heard the noise of Lin Xiaoyue and the others rummaging through the ruins at Lin Dahua's house, which attracted her attention, so she desperately shouted for help.

It was the woman's fate that she met the two sisters. If it were someone else, seeing a woman who was about to die, they would probably think it was unlucky and would not save her.

Lin Zhaodi nudged Lin Xiaoyue with her elbow, signaling her to save the man.

...There is a kind-hearted second sister around me, so I asked what to do? Waiting online, it's very urgent.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn't move, Lin Zhaodi gave her another elbow.

Lin Xiaoyue then rolled her eyes, pouted reluctantly, stepped forward to kick away the rubble, grabbed the edge of the large wooden cabinet with one hand, and lifted it up with force, flipping the heavy cabinet to the side.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the wooden cabinet fell heavily onto the rubble nearby, raising dust and causing people to cough uncontrollably.

The woman was freed, and without even having time to say thank you, she hurriedly and weakly pointed in the direction of the cellar, begging them intermittently to save the child hiding in the cellar.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned pale and he fainted.

……

There was nothing to say, Lin Zhaodi hurriedly went to pick up the broken stones and tiles on the cellar. Judging from her posture, she was determined to save the man to the end.

Lin Xiaoyue...

His eyes were rolling to the sky.

But no matter what, since I'm going to get involved in other people's business, I'll just take care of it to the end.

Finally, the two sisters walked around Hexi Village. In addition to the woman with a broken leg who they rescued at the beginning, and the two people, a boy and a girl about ten years old, who were hiding in the cellar with her; as well as Lin Chunhua, who was dug out from two other ruins, with bruises all over her body and half of her face destroyed; and a little girl who was so thin that she looked unrecognizable and was caught in the life-saving triangle. She looked to be about seven or eight years old.

Then, at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, we found a few animals that must have been frightened by the earthquake and had run here in a panic: a cow, a mule, three chickens, and a duck.

Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi looked at each other, went back to the village and pulled out two carts that could still carry people, and two chicken cages. They tied ropes to the carts, put them on the cows and mules, and put the unconscious Lin Chunhua and the woman with a broken leg on the carts.

The chickens and ducks were put into cages and also thrown onto the cart.

As for the three children, they were just frightened and not seriously injured, so Lin Xiaoyue let them walk on their legs.

The little girl who was so thin that she looked unrecognizable didn't say anything. She lowered her head silently and followed Lin Xiaoyue and the others obediently.

As for the two children of the woman with a broken leg, they looked reluctant. The boy seemed to want to say something, but the girl tugged at his clothes, signaling him to stop talking and close his mouth.

Since the two siblings didn't say anything, Lin Xiaoyue didn't hear it, so she naturally treated it as a gust of wind passing by.

They are not related to her, so what do the two of them think has to do with her?

She just saved the person, does that mean she should be worshipped like an ancestor?

But come on, she doesn't have that kind of heart, okay?

……

What Lin Xiaoyue and her group didn't know was that after they left, many wild beasts of all sizes came to Hexi Village that night, all attracted by the strong smell of blood.

When the beasts saw the corpses scattered all over the village, their eyes turned red instantly. They pounced on the corpses like crazy and started to bite them with big mouthfuls. The sound of bones being chewed vigorously, "crunch, crunch", could be heard one after another in Hexi Village, dragging this lifeless and deserted village into the abyss of despair and terror.
