I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 115: Everyone in the tunnel tries to save themselves

"There are so many people, how can we take them there?" Gu Dahai said worriedly.

"You can let Silly and Daidai carry them. They have drunk so much spiritual dew this time, and their physical fitness has improved greatly. There is no problem for them to carry these people." Gu Fu said.

"But if we do that, wouldn't it expose our stupidity and stupidity? What if they leak it out and people come to the mountains to look for us, then our peaceful days will be over." Gu Dahai disagreed.

"Yes, Fuer, it's too risky to do this. We should leave the food and supplies behind, and visit them from time to time in the future to bring them supplies." Old Master Gu also disagreed.

"It's okay, grandpa and uncle. Since I have made such arrangements, I am not afraid of this situation. Have you forgotten that I can even tame Daju and Dabai?" said Gu Fu.

Seeing that the family members were still hesitant, he continued, "Grandpa, uncle, if you are really worried, just blindfold them and put oilcloth on the backs of Shasha and Daidai. I will tell them not to make any sound. This way they can't see and won't have anything to say. Even if they say something, no one will believe it."

The Gu family had no other good ideas and could only do as Gu Fu said.

"Children, we are also fleeing from famine. It is really inconvenient for us to take you home, but we know there is a county nearby. The people there are very kind and there are no rebels. You can all read and write, so why not go there and make a living? If you are willing, just blindfold yourself and we will take you there."

Gu Dahai spoke with an embarrassed look on his face, and deliberately said that Weng County was nearby.

After hearing this, Lu Feng and the others looked at each other, wondering why they had to blindfold themselves while hurrying on the road. But thinking of their family members who had died tragically and the companions they had lost along the way, they quickly made a decision.

All they hope now is to follow the dying wishes of their elders - to stay alive.

Everyone kowtowed again to express their gratitude: "Thank you for saving us, benefactor. We will definitely repay your kindness."

The children behind also followed suit.

"Everyone, get up and pack the things you need. Let's get ready to set off." Gu Dahai instructed.

The homeless children kowtowed and thanked him, saying sadly: "We have nothing to pack. We have everything on us."

When I fled here from Jia County, I also brought money and luggage with me at first.

But walking took up most of the physical strength. Some of the money was stolen, some was thrown away, and some was abandoned in order to take care of companions.

In the end, everyone was left with only the clothes they had on.

"Okay, then wait here for a while. I'll arrange for you to depart later." Gu Dahai instructed.

Everyone waited obediently in the cave.

Gu Fu prepared something to cover his eyes, and then let his father carry him out of the cave, far away from the cave entrance. Gu Fu then released his mental power and summoned two birds.

The two birds rushed over excitedly and were about to call, but Gu Fu covered their mouths with his mental power.

He waved and called them over, making a "hushing" gesture to the two birds. He said, "You can't call them from now on, and you can't make any noise. We are trying to take others to Weng County, so you can't expose yourselves. Do you understand?"

The two birds looked disapproving.

Gu Fusheng said with a contradictory tone: "If you are accidentally exposed, many people will come into the mountains to catch you! If you are caught, you will never be able to drink the spiritual dew again~"

At the end, his tone was filled with regret and gloating.

The two birds' big eyes kept changing emotions as Gu Fu spoke. First they opened their eyes wide, then became shocked, then angry, and finally aggrieved.

Then it flapped its wings, raised its head, and pretended to turn and leave.

Gu Fu said calmly, "If I don't carry it, I'm sorry, there will be no spiritual dew in the future."

The two birds walked a few steps on the spot, then nodded at Gu Fu.

Gu Fu opened the two bird beaks, and the two birds stopped chirping.

He then used his mental power to take out two pieces of oilcloth and put them on the backs of Shasha and Daidai.

After cleaning up the place, he patted his uncle's shoulder with his mental power.

Gu Dahai was suddenly patted on the shoulder by an invisible object. He was startled at first, and his eyes widened instantly, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

After he realized what was happening, he coughed and winked at his son, "Jill, go outside and take a look."

After instructing his son, he took out some black cloth strips from the wastebasket. "Come on, I'll cover your eyes, and we'll set off."

The homeless children were all nervous and apprehensive, but they still lined up and came forward one by one. Gu Dahai blindfolded them, even the sleeping three-year-old child was blindfolded with a black cloth.

After everyone had packed up, Gu Dahe carried Gu Fu and brought Shasha Daidai to the cave entrance.

Gu Ji also went back to the cave to tell Gu Dahai that it was okay.

Shasha and Daidai squatted at the entrance of the cave. Gu Dahai and Gu Dajiang helped the children sit on Shasha and Daidai's backs and said, "When we shout to set off, you just lie down forward. Got it?"

"Got it, benefactor." The homeless children responded one after another. They didn't know what to do, but they felt that the ground under their feet was soft and slippery, and they couldn't see anything, so they could only remember the benefactor's instructions.

Gu Fu took out the old clothes he had collected in the village from the space and put them on the homeless children. The children were very grateful. After thanking him, they put on their clothes.

Everyone was ready. Gu Fu patted the big bird on the back, pointed in the direction of Weng County and said, "Let's go!"

The homeless children only felt their bodies shaking and quickly crouched down.

Then I felt a strong wind blowing past my face, so I quickly bent down lower and held the people around me tightly.

No one can guess what is happening now.

What the Gu family didn't know was that while the Gu family was helping to rescue the child, the Weng County they had been looking forward to had already been destroyed.

The County Magistrate Duan, whom they praised so much, had already turned to ashes along with Weng County.

At this time, everyone in the tunnel smelled the unpleasant odor in the air. Coupled with the already thin air, most of the pampered ladies and ladies could no longer hold on.

Some were directly suffocated to the point of passing out, while others kept vomiting.

Some of them who normally had weak breath could not even breathe, and died after taking a few deep breaths.

For a moment, everyone in the tunnel was in chaos. Some were crying, some were tearing their hair and collars, some were fainting and falling to the ground, and some were vomiting.

The air in the entire tunnel became even more polluted.

Wan Niang and Old Madam Duan were not feeling well either. They were both pale and their lips were bloodless. They gritted their teeth and held on desperately.

The fat boy Duan Shuhuan was feeling even worse. He had already fainted and was being carried by a strong follower, walking with difficulty.

"Everyone, don't panic. Carry those who have left to the side of the tunnel and place them there. Let's go back and find a place with better air." After saying this, Old Madam Duan had to stop and take a few deep breaths.

Then he continued, "We should be outside the city now. Let's hold on and dig towards the top of the tunnel together. As long as we can dig a hole and let air in, we will be saved."

After saying that, he gasped for air again, feeling a pain in his chest. After shouting these two sentences, he felt dizzy.

"Don't give up, let's retreat now. Find a place with a slightly lower temperature. Stop and let's dig a hole together." The county magistrate's wife shouted at this time.

Those who could still move with difficulty hurriedly dragged their family members back.

After finally reaching a place with a little more air, the crowd, unable to hold on any longer, collapsed in the tunnel, feeling that they could no longer move an inch.

The county magistrate's wife was still insisting. She took off the jewelry on her head and said, "Fellow villagers, let's not give up. Think about your children, your families, and yourselves. If you give up now, this tunnel will be our burial place."

"But are you willing? As long as we remove this layer of soil above our heads, we will be saved. As long as we work together and dig in one direction, I believe we can save ourselves. Fellow villagers, hold on and cheer up! Dig this layer of soil with me, okay!" the county magistrate's wife cried in tears.

Everyone in the tunnel was in tears at this moment, and they only hated themselves for being powerless.
