Deng Qingyun hugged him and said, "Don't sleep, Qingniu...don't sleep!"

Everyone in the Beast-Drivening City has the surname Deng. Deng Qingyun was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

Deng Qingyun said:

"Qingniu, I will find a way. I will take you into the mountains to hunt.

We will definitely make it through, and when we get to Bianjing, we’ll be able to eat delicious food and drink delicious drinks.”

But Deng Qingniu didn't react at all. Deng Qingyun's eyes were red and his face was full of despair: "God, please leave me a way out! What are you going to do? Ah..."

When he looked up, he saw a tiger staring at him. There was a mouse sitting on the tiger's body and a black bird standing on its head.

He rubbed his eyes and heard Milk Tea say, "Someone...someone..."

Deng Qingyun hugged Deng Qingniu, his face full of panic: "Let's run quickly, big tiger... run quickly..."

But the pacifier was really fast, and it was in front of them in a few steps. The other children were trembling with fear, only Deng Qingyun hugged Deng Qingniu and said:

"They're not tasty. If you want to eat them, eat me! Eat me and let them go, okay? We're at our wit's end, wuwuwu...

Why is this world so miserable? We are not even given a way to survive. Why don’t good people get good rewards?

Zhao Qiaoniang came over with a group of women and was also stunned when she saw Deng Qingyun: "What's wrong with you? Pacifier, come back..."

The pacifier roared and turned back. Zhao Qiaoniang said helplessly, "Don't be afraid. It usually doesn't bite."

Deng Qingyun looked at her and knelt down on the ground, saying, "Sister, please save us, my brother... is dying..."

Zhao Qiaoniang frowned, stepped forward, sniffed his breath, and said, "Your brother is still alive. Come back to the camp with us? Maybe we can save his life."

Deng Qingyun brought more than ten children and followed Zhao Qiaoniang back to the camp. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "Aunt Bai knows medicine. See if you can save him. He must have starved."

When they returned to the camp, they saw the group sitting by the fire, warming themselves. Seeing Zhao Qiaoniang return, Mrs. Bai asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you were going into the mountains? Why are you back again?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the children helplessly and said, "I was just about to go into the mountains when I saw these children. Aunt Bai, can you tell me if this child can be saved?"

Mrs. Bai walked over, took Deng Qingniu's pulse, then took out a silver needle and kept inserting it into his body.

After a long while, the child slowly opened his eyes. These children were not very old, only in their teens.

Mrs. Bai said:

"You haven't eaten for a few days, right? You should eat something first! Otherwise, your body won't be able to take it.

Qiao Niang, come with me."

Mrs. Bai was really anxious. The food at home was getting less and less every day, but the number of people rescued was increasing day by day. If they continued to rescue people, they might not have enough food.

Madam Bai pulled her aside and said:

"Qiao Niang, I know you are a kind person, but now is a year of disaster, and I am afraid that we will run out of food before we even reach Bianjing.

We have so many children with us, what are we going to do?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the children and said:

"These children are fifteen or sixteen years old and can help with some work. Let's see if they are willing to stay.

Although it's a disaster year, we still have more than a dozen bags of food, so it's not a big problem."

The boys quickly decided to stay. Deng Qingyun said, "Sir, we are all willing to sell our bodies. We can sign and seal the agreement now. We can also go hunting in the mountains. We have learned this from our fathers since we were young."

Master Bai looked at them and said, "Then you should know what it means to sell yourself."

Master Bai looked at them with his hands behind his back and said:

"Selling yourself means you lose your personal freedom. You have to obey your master's orders for the rest of your life and treat your master as your heaven.

If the master tells you to go east, you cannot go west. Do you understand?"

Deng Qingyun knelt straight on the ground and said:

"We all understand, and we know very well that if it weren't for you, we would have lost our lives.

As long as you are willing to save us, our lives from now on will be yours."

Master Bai then nodded and helped them to complete the indenture contract.

Lin Wanwan looked at these children. They were only about fifteen years old. One of the younger ones looked only twelve or thirteen years old and was very thin.

Children like these should have been in junior high school in their previous lives, but now their faces are full of vicissitudes of life. They sit in front of the fire blankly, not saying a word.

Mrs. Bai had coarse rice porridge brought over, and then she dug out a dozen cotton-padded jackets and said, "Change into these clothes after you finish eating, so you won't get cold at night."

"Hey! Thank you, old lady..." Deng Qingyun really wanted to cry. They met a good person!

Zhao Qiaoniang said while feeding her baby:

"Wanwan, do you think I did the right thing?

We already have enough people in our family. If we recruit more, I’m afraid your grandmother Bai will be driven crazy.”

Lin Wanwan sighed. They had indeed been hiring too many people recently. It wasn't that she felt sorry for them, but they had more and more things. If there were fewer people, they would be too conspicuous and it would be impossible to keep an eye on them.

But when there are a lot of people, several people pushing a wheelbarrow will not be noticeable at all.

The little carpenter recently made two more wheelbarrows so that everyone can save some effort.

What's more, they still have enough food, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

Milk tea translated: "Not hiring for the time being... Not hiring for the time being..."

Zhao Qiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then we won't recruit anyone for now. I'll take them into the mountains to see if there's any water."

After drinking the milk, Lin Wanwan nodded and slowly fell asleep.

Zhao Qiaoniang led a large group of women into the mountains. The scene of more than forty women forming a large group was quite spectacular.

Zhao Qiaoniang carried a basket on her back and said, "Let's go into the mountains to find some wild vegetables and water. Try to find as much as possible."

Mulan smiled and said, "Our team is growing bigger and bigger."

Cui Ya looked at the big tiger in the front and laughed, "Isn't it getting bigger and bigger? Now that we're with the tiger, won't we be able to walk across the entire mountain?"

Mulan burst out laughing: "The one walking sideways is a crab, but with the pacifier here, I feel much more at ease."

Toffee sat on the back of the pacifier, constantly giving orders by squeaking, and the pacifier led them into the mountains.

Normally the mountains are eerie and scary, but since they got the pacifier, they feel very safe.

However, Zhao Qiaoniang did not let down her guard: "You still have to pay more attention to your surroundings. Although the pacifier is powerful, it will also encounter many unexpected situations. We must be more cautious."

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly and nodded.

After walking for half an hour, the vegetation became more and more lush, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves and dead branches, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.

Everywhere you look, there are tangled vines, and you can easily trip or get entangled if you are not careful.
