During this period of time, they have rescued many people from the water again and again. These people are nearby villagers who were trapped in other higher places. Due to the limited food they brought, they had to leave the shelter after eating and look for a way out outside.

Fortunately, they were a little far away. Although the tsunami came quickly, it had slowed down significantly when it rushed here. Although houses were flooded, boats were still usable. Many people relied on boats to drift around and had a chance to survive.

During these days, dozens or even hundreds of people drifted down the river, and villagers from the surrounding mountains also rescued many of them. The villagers placed all these people in a cave nearby, not far from them, with a passage connecting them so that they could take care of each other.

The amount of food brought by the villagers was considerable, but it was not enough for everyone to eat without restraint. More importantly, no one knew how long the flood would last or when it would completely recede. Therefore, the village chief led everyone to try fishing to get more food.

Everyone lives by the river and some have drifted over from the seaside. They all have some fishing skills, so naturally the harvest is rich. Because of the tsunami, there are not only fish from the river but also seafood from the sea. Everyone can rely on this to survive.

The villagers worked together to move all the people who had just been rescued from the water into the cave, and then rushed down without stopping to rescue the next group of people.

Jing Yao stared at the people who were rescued. Their faces were as pale as paper, and their lips were bloodless. Although the weather was extremely hot, these people exuded a chill. When they passed by him just now, the cold breath made him palpitate. It can be imagined that they must have been soaked in the water for a long time. Fortunately, they were found in time, otherwise they would have lost their lives due to hypothermia after being soaked in the water for a long time.

At this time, many people wearing masks came out of the cave, and they were busy transferring the newly transported wounded into the cave. Jing Yao noticed that they were obviously short of manpower. Although there were many people in the cave, the number of wounded people sent in continuously was large. Jing Yao made a prompt decision and found a few more people to help.

However, most of the rescued people were in a bad condition and had wounds all over their bodies. Some of them seemed to have not eaten for a long time and were so weak that they could not even stand up. The kindhearted villagers took the initiative to cook some food for them to relieve their hunger.

"These people are from Shangyan Village, which is quite far from here, so you may not have seen them. Back then, when we were young, we often went there. At that time, we often didn't have enough food, so we would run over there to look for food. Their old village chief was such a kind-hearted person! He often gave us young people some fruits.

Then one year, we encountered a terrible locust plague, which ate up all our food. With nowhere else to go, we had to go there to beg for food. The old village chief gave each of us several large steamed buns and even a large bag of food.

At that time, the uncles and aunts in the village were so excited that they almost knelt down to thank him, but they were stopped by the old village chief. He just hoped that if we had the opportunity in the future, we could also help them. Of course, we agreed without hesitation and have been looking forward to repaying their kindness one day.

However, as time went by, everyone's life gradually became better and better. As the two places are far apart, the exchanges between them have gradually decreased. Now seeing them become like this, we will definitely do our best to help them. "Li Zheng stared at the injured and unconscious people and sighed deeply.

It turns out that there is such an unknown secret behind it. No wonder when the villagers saw these people, they couldn't help but lend a helping hand to them.

Jing Yao walked over to check and found that several people were seriously injured. He felt nervous and said quickly, "I still have some medicine left. You can give it to them."

When the village head heard this, his eyes were filled with gratitude. He looked at Jing Yao and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you, Yao boy."

Jing Yao shook his head gently, indicating that there was no need to thank them. He said sincerely: "We are all from the same village, and it is our duty to help each other. They helped us without hesitation in times of crisis, showing their kindness and simplicity. Therefore, when they encounter difficulties, we should stand up and support each other."

After saying that, Jing Yao turned around and hurried away, and soon returned with medicine. He carefully treated the wounds of the injured, his movements gentle and skillful. The surrounding villagers also gathered around, some helped to pass water, and some asked about the condition of the injured with concern.

These people were injured and had been soaked in water, so their wounds had turned white. After examining them, Jing Yao scraped off all the rotten flesh with a knife, disinfected them with alcohol, and then applied medicine to them. He also wrapped some serious wounds with bandages, but he was not a doctor and could not suture the wounds, otherwise they would heal much faster. However, he added spiritual liquid to the medicine and used his special powers during treatment, so there was no problem for them to survive.

It was not until noon that Jing Yao finally returned home. He was wet and covered in blood, which frightened Wen Qun! Seeing this, Jing Yao quickly spoke to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I just went to help with the rescue operation. These bloodstains are not mine, but those of the injured. I have to change these wet clothes first, and then take them outside to wash them later."

After hearing this, Wen Qun's fear instantly dissipated, but he still said with some lingering fear: "I was really scared to death just now. I thought you were injured outside."

At this time, Father Wen and Mother Wen were also alarmed. They were originally worried that something serious had happened. When they learned that Jing Yao was safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern: "What is the situation outside now?"

Jing Yao, who was covering his body with a blanket and changing his clothes in the house, replied: "The situation is very bad, the flood outside is already surging, and many people were swept away by the merciless torrent before they even had time to react.

Others hurriedly boarded boats and fled for their lives, but the food they carried was very limited, and the huge flood carried them to an unknown destination.

Many people ran out of food and couldn’t find a place to go to the shore. Some people’s boats hit reefs and were directly buried in the flood. It was their luck that they survived.”

After the meal, Jing Yao prepared to go out again to check the situation outside. Seeing this, Wen Qun said that he would go with him to understand the situation outside.

After hearing what Wen Qun said, the twins suddenly became excited and clamored to go out and play with him, but Jing Yao rejected them without hesitation.

At this time, the cave was full of injured people, some of whom were only half dead when they were rescued from the water. Jing Yao knew that after every major disaster, there was often a large-scale outbreak of plague. However, there was no condition to treat these diseases at the moment, and various disasters were still happening, so it was best to reduce contact with the injured as much as possible.

After hearing what Jing Yao said, the two adults were shocked. They quickly ordered the twins not to step out of the cave and tried to persuade Jing Yao not to risk going out.

However, Jing Yao couldn't just sit back and do nothing. He knew very well that if an epidemic really broke out, the people hiding in the cave would not be immune either. Therefore, they had to take preventive measures in advance.

Not only that, Jing Yao even took out a box of masks from his backpack, distributed them to everyone, and reminded everyone not to take them off even when sleeping.

Jing Yao's words set off alarm bells in everyone's hearts, and they became extra cautious when dealing with the injured and the environment. Anything that came into contact with the patient would be burned if it could be burned, and buried deep in a pit if it could not be burned, and would never be abandoned in the mountains at will.

Jing Yao was worried about the breeding of parasites in the water, so he insisted that everyone drink hot water. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, but when Jing Yao told them that there might be tiny worms in the water, and once they were swallowed, these worms would continue to grow and eventually get out of the human body and cause death, although this statement was a bit exaggerated, it did have a strong deterrent effect. From then on, no one dared to take the risk of drinking raw water, and they all turned to drinking boiled water.

"If someone has diarrhea symptoms, they must speak up immediately and get medicine as soon as possible. Don't just hold on. After all, this is not a normal time! And those who have caught a cold must remember not to delay the treatment. Otherwise, when the condition worsens, even if the doctor comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to help!"

Jing Yao would repeatedly emphasize these little common sense about health and medicine to the villagers every day. Over time, as everyone heard more and more, they naturally had a clearer understanding.

They understand that in this extraordinary period, some foods cannot be eaten casually and some things cannot be touched easily.

Because of this, even though the people in the village have been in the cave for a long time, everyone still maintains a good physical condition and has not suffered any serious illness. Seeing this, Jing Yao finally felt relieved.

There is good news. It has not rained for three days in a row. Even if there is some rain, it is just some raindrops. Not to mention heavy rain, even light rain has not appeared. It seems that as long as we wait for the flood to recede, we can return to the village.

At first, standing in the cave and looking far into the distance, you can see the boundless ocean in the distance, with turbulent waves, and the water at the foot of the mountain is extremely turbulent, like a roaring dragon rushing past. There are many objects in the water that have been washed in from nowhere, rolling and floating with the water, and in some places the water surface even forms huge whirlpools, showing that the water here is unfathomable.

Now, looking out, one can see that the river water flowing below is gradually slowing down, and the originally turbid and deep color is gradually fading. The mud and sand are slowly settling, like a wide river stretching between them, separating the two peaks.

The villagers living on the nearby mountains have interacted with them in recent days. The boats that drifted from afar have become an important tool for them to exchange what they have, allowing them to travel freely between the two places and exchange the necessary supplies.

Some smart people, in the case of food shortage, cleverly used their own boats to frequently travel between the two places to pick up and drop off guests, so as to earn some food for survival. These people relied on their wisdom and courage to successfully find a ray of hope in the difficult situation.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun also took a boat to the nearby mountain. They originally hoped to exchange some supplies with the local villagers with the canned food in their hands. However, to their disappointment, the supplies here were also extremely scarce. But when Jing Yao heard that there was prey on the mountain, he immediately became excited. So, the two walked into the mountain without hesitation.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun carefully observed the surroundings and indeed found many shadows swaying on the mountain. These people must have come from other villages and had also gone up the mountain to look for food. However, most of the people who had gone up the mountain were currently gathered on a hilltop close to the village, which was still some distance from where they were, so they had no connection with them for the time being.

Jing Yao, with his sharp eyes and agile body, quickly caught two plump rabbits; Wen Qun showed his accurate shooting skills and successfully shot three pheasants. Then, they were lucky enough to capture a silly roe deer. In addition, they were pleasantly surprised to touch a nest of pheasant eggs.

This forest is not a place Jing Yao often visits, but he has walked through all the places in the mountains and explored all the places. He knows the terrain here. There is a large grassland behind the mountain. Not only do they live a group of deer, but you can occasionally see some wild boars. But now they have all been submerged by floods.

With the harvest, Wen Qun's confidence increased greatly, so he discussed with Jing Yao: "Ayao, I will try to hunt some larger prey later."

He received rigorous training every day at home, but had never participated in actual combat. At this moment, he was eager to experience it himself and test the results of his learning.

"Of course, Qun Qun! What kind of prey do you want to challenge?" Jing Yao asked curiously.

"How about wild boars or bison? Or, do you have other more desirable targets?" Wen Qun's eyes fell on Jing Yao, and saw him skillfully tying up several prey quickly with vines.

"No problem. I'll take you to hunt bison later." Jing Yao nodded and responded with a smile.
