Chapter 26: Escaping from the Jungle ~ Finding Water

Liu took Liu Yuhan for a long, long time...

Liu Yuhan slowly calmed down and rode his bike back.

When the three of them returned to the camp and saw their relatives and villagers who had been waiting for them, Liu Yuhan suddenly didn't know how to face them.

Liu Shinan had already learned everything from his wife. He hated the barbarian and felt sorry for his daughter who had witnessed such a tragic scene.

Liu told her to go and rest, and Liu Shinan and his wife, along with two village heads and clan elders, and a group of people gathered around them. Liu Shinan told them about the unrest in Wu'an City.

Everyone cursed the barbarian, but then became worried again.

Wu'an Prefecture is where the capital meets the south. To get to the south, go around Wu'an City and head east. That route is no longer safe. If you want to bypass it, you can only go into the mountains.

And you have to cross Xiaoyan Mountain, otherwise you can only go back, and going back means death. If you go into the mountains, you don’t know what will happen, and you don’t know how long it will take.

Liu Yuhan leaned against a dead tree, her consciousness entering the space. She washed her face with cold water and drank a large glass of ice water.

There was also a simple map of Nanlin Kingdom that she had copied in the space. She looked at it carefully, thinking about possible routes.

She was afraid that if they painstakingly crossed the mountain, would the city they reached be safe? So many people had died outside the city, and there would be more deaths along the way. If these bodies were not dealt with in time, she was most afraid that they would cause an epidemic.

Since the Huns have already invaded, the capital should immediately mobilize support. After all, which is more important, family members stealing or outsiders breaking into and robbing? Which one is more important to punish first?

But the villagers had no time to wait, nor could they afford to wait, as they were almost out of water and food.

In fact, there are some benefits to going to the mountains. Hunters account for a small part of the population in these two villages. If everyone works together, maybe we can get through safely and find food and water.

What Liu Yuhan was thinking was exactly what most of the villagers were thinking.

Compared to the wild beasts in the mountains, the barbarians are more terrifying. They kill people without blinking an eye, and they also rob your wife and money. It's simply XXXX. I can't tolerate it.

Now that the decision has been made, let’s have a good rest tonight and go into the mountains tomorrow.

Liu Yuhan saw that everyone had agreed and arranged the route. He called the family together, shared the rock sugar mung bean porridge that had been cooked and cooled in the space, and then went to bed early.

In the dead of night, Liu Yuhan lay down beside Liu and entered the space. There was a long water pipe in the space, which was originally placed in the space to irrigate the rice fields.

There was always a chance to get water in the mountains. We also had some brown rice and yams to eat, but mainly salt. I didn't know how long the salt we brought would last.

Salt is the most indispensable substance in the body.

If the human body does not consume salt for a long time, the concentration of sodium ions and chloride ions in the blood may decrease, which is clinically called hyponatremia and hypochloremia. If the hyponatremia and hypochloremia are more serious, the patient will feel weak and have a dull expression. He may be bedridden for a long time, suffer from nausea, vomiting, and even drowsiness and coma. Severe hyponatremia may lead to death.

That night, Liu Yuhan's dreams were not peaceful. Her nightmares were filled with stinging red blood, staining half the sky...

At the hour of Mao, the two village chiefs gathered everyone together and decided to form a new team if they were going into the mountains.

Ten of the 30 households in Liujia Village are hunters, so one hunter leads two villagers to form a team.

Liujia Village was divided into 10 teams, so Liu Shiliu's family naturally followed them. Liu Daling's family had a large population, so in addition to taking Liu Shiliu's family, he also had to take the smallest group of people in the village, Erlaizi and his mother, and Old Xu and his son Xu Fugui. The Liu family had no objection.

The same was true for Xiaoshi Village. The number of hunters was about the same as that of Liujia Village, and they quickly formed teams.

Everyone tied their trouser legs with straw ropes according to the hunter's requirements. Those who wore cloth shoes were advised to put on straw sandals, which were wear-resistant and non-slip.

In addition to wearing a straw hat, they covered their faces with a cloth and tied the collar of their clothes tightly to prevent mosquitoes from getting in. A wheelbarrow could still make it up the mountain, but an oxcart was no match for it, so they had to abandon the oxcart and use the oxen to carry the load.

After everything was packed, Liujia Village took the lead.

While everyone was gone, Liu Yuhan secretly put four ox carts into the space, piling them up on the extra land in the space.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on. At the beginning, it was okay if we came across a road that others had driven on. As we walked further and further in, the road became more difficult to walk on and we had to use machetes to clear the way. The group walked very slowly. It was not so hot when we went up the mountain. At least there were some dead leaves and branches to block the way.

The village chief asked everyone to walk as fast as possible because they had to book a place to stay for the night before nightfall and take precautions.

Liu Daling's group. Xiao Si hugged her sister's neck and looked at Xiao Wu who was carried by her brother in front of her. She felt that they were useless.

His and Xiaowu's feet hurt so much that they had blisters and broken. His sister applied medicine on them and told them to rest for a while. His sister told him that it was okay and he was not heavy, but he was afraid that he would tire his sister out.

Liu Laizi wanted to push the wheelbarrow, but the mountain road was not easy to lead his mother, so Liu Laizi's mother followed Old Lady Jiang and walked behind Liu Laizi.

Old Lady Jiang was very patient with her. Liu Laizi's mother was called Xu (hereafter called Xu). Xu was very quiet. Whenever she saw her son, she would become especially quiet and obedient.

Old Xu and Liu Daling are of the same age, so they have a lot to talk about when they are together. Xu Fugui pushed the wheelbarrow for more than half a month and gave Liu Yuhan a lot of good medicine. His wounds have healed and the bones are not injured, so there is no problem.

He was tall but thin, very strong, and also skilled in bricklaying. He worked odd jobs in the town year-round, but the money he earned was barely enough for the father and son to live on.

The father and son were grateful to the Liu family for saving their lives, so they were very happy to be assigned to their group and hoped to help with more work to repay them.

Yang Nianhua got a wheelbarrow that was allocated to his family by the Liu family. He and Liu Shiliu took turns pushing it.

The two brothers Yang Zhi and Yang Rong each carried a backpack. It must be said that Yang Zhi, as a scholar, was a little weak, not as good as his younger brother.

Now, the Liu Shihu brothers were pushing the cart, while Liu Yang and his mother, Li, were taking turns pushing a wheelbarrow. The half-grown Liu Guang and Liu Lu were accompanied by their sisters, Liu Yun and Liu Yao, each carrying a cloth bag. Liu and Liu Yuhan were also taking care of Xiao Si and Xiao Wu.

At 1 p.m., the team took a break.

Everyone found a flat place to rest. The village chief informed them that after a quarter of an hour's rest, the young men would split into two teams to find water, while the rest of the group could cut grass to make straw sandals and straw mats.

Liu Yuhan followed his parents, uncle, and about 20 other young men from Liujia Village to look for water. They all carried backpacks filled with empty water bags and jugs.

They set off with machetes and wooden sticks. The village chief said they would be back within an hour at most, whether they found the item or not.

Xiaoshijia Village also formed another team of 20 people, took tools, and everyone went in different directions.

You can't see it from the mountain, you have to climb up a tree. Without saying a word, Xu Fugui climbed up in two strokes, which shocked Liu Yuhan. Could this be a walking monkey?

Liu Yuhan asked him to look around and go to the direction with more lush forests.

Xu Fugui quickly got down from the tree and pointed them in a direction. Everyone walked towards that direction.

Sure enough, the trees became more and more lush, and it became much cooler. I also found some edible wild vegetables that were yellow with a hint of green, and I just picked them when I saw them.

After walking for almost half an hour, we found a valley with cracks in the rocks. The grass nearby was growing better. There must have been water here, but it was dry now.

Liu Shinan is the oldest in the team. He asked these young men to look for wild vegetables here. They went to the front to take a look and came back in a quarter of an hour.

Liu Yuhan followed his parents and saw a low area under another crevice. The soil was still slightly moist. Okay, this is it.

Tell Mom and Dad to be on the lookout for incoming visitors. He took a water pipe from the space and led the water out. Liu Yuhan had already connected the pipe last night and placed a plastic bucket underneath it, making it easier to use water in the space.

Water flowed from the space to the low-lying area and soon it was full. Liu Shinan's eyes lit up when he saw the water. He imagined jumping in to drink his fill and then taking a bath. Haha, it was just a thought.

It's good to drink some. My daughter is really amazing. God is good to her. Thank God.

Liu Yuhan collected the water pipes. There was enough water for them to put back. He asked Liu Shinan to lead the people over. Liu Shinan started his exaggerated performance again...

In short, when everyone came over and saw the water, they were so excited that they wanted to kneel down to the sky. Liu Shinan touched his nose. These guys.

It was amazing to see such clear water. Everyone carefully filled their water bags and water jugs with water.

Then they scooped up the water in their hands and drank it in big gulps. After they were full, they didn't care whether it was dirty or not. They were really thirsty.

I filled the water tank, drank enough water, and used the last bit of water mixed with mud to wash my hands and face. In short, I couldn't waste a single drop of water.

Liu Yuhan...

They were delayed for a while. The people from Xiaoshi Village had already gone back, and naturally they couldn't find any water, only some dried wild vegetables. Seeing the people from Liujia Village find water, they were envious and regretful, regretting why they didn't follow Liujia Village. What a mistake.

Village chief Liu asked for everyone's opinions and gave some water to Xiaoshi Village.

Liu Yuhan took the opportunity to tell everyone that there are worms in the water that we cannot see, and any water must be boiled before drinking it, otherwise you will get sick, worms will grow in your stomach, and the worms will eat your intestines.

Everyone who was about to drink water...

Following the young people who had already found water and drank it...
