Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

"Animals have a keen sense of smell. We can't stay here any longer. We can go back to the edge of the cliff and wait to see if anyone comes to rescue us. Otherwise, we can continue walking. There is a puddle at the foot of this mountain..."

The choice was left directly to the three female educated youth. He believed that they were not fools and should know what to do.

After all, only the four of them could find that cliff.

Tan Yuan felt that the male voice sounded familiar, but she didn't think much about it. There were so many male comrades in the brigade, and she had spent five years here in her previous life, so it was not surprising that he sounded familiar.

The words were so clear that both Tan Yuan and Nian Lin agreed to continue moving forward and directly reach the Shuwaizi Brigade. They would then let the Shuwaizi Brigade's ox cart take them a ride.

Li Xiu's mind was a mess. She just nodded in agreement to whatever they said and didn't think about anything else.

Climbing the mountain is a very physically demanding activity, so food must be prepared. Li Xiu and Guan Jianguo hurried to roast venison and wild boar meat, while Nian Lin applied medicine to the wounds on her body as Tan Yuan had instructed.

There was nothing serious on other parts of her body. There were no obvious wounds, just some bruises. They would heal naturally after a few days of rest. The only problem was Tan Yuan's hands, which were pressed against the rocks by the wild boar's head. After she fell asleep yesterday, Nian Lin washed her with water, but the stone fragments inside were difficult to remove and were still left on her body.

He carried Tan Yuan on his back and went directly to the mountain spring to wash the wound. The wound had to be washed clean before applying medicine.

It was fine before she washed it, but now that she had wet it, she carefully cleaned out the stone that had sunk into the flesh. The pain was so severe that Tan Yuan bit her lips until they bled, and only then did she try her best to suppress the urge to scream.

Blood also flowed out. Tan Yuan opened her eyes, instructed Nian Lin to use medicine, and bandaged her hand with rags.

It was only a short while before her eyes began to ache again. She endured it and washed them with clean water, but they were still red.

Nian Lin cut a hole in his shirt with a knife, tore off a piece of cloth, washed it, and used it to bandage Tan Yuan's eyes.

Just as the two finished their work, they saw Guan Jianguo coming out with a serious face carrying a large bag of things wrapped in leaves. Following behind was Li Xiu, who was a little lame, also carrying a large bag of things.

"We have to leave quickly."

Li Xiu nodded his head like pounding garlic.

"I just heard something roaring, similar to the wild boar roaring yesterday."

And it seems there is more than one...

Li Xiu had a keen sense of hearing and would not make a mistake. Guan Jianguo opened the kettle he carried with him and quickly filled it with mountain spring water. If they were frugal, it should be enough to sustain them until they reached Shuiwazi Village.

The meat has been cut up and hung in the cave with ropes. The wild animals should be unable to get up or take it down. When we return to the main group, we can just follow them to get it.

Originally, Nian Lin planned to carry Tan Yuan on his back, but Guan Jianguo took the lead and carried Tan Yuan on his back.

"This wild boar runs faster than you think. I'll carry it, and you hold on to Li Zhiqing."

He is a grown man, and his strength is beyond Nian Lin's reach. It is reasonable for him to carry the child on his back. Moreover, it is already a late hour, and when they are running for their lives, if they want to survive, they will not care about other trivial matters.

Tan Yuan is now a complete disabled person. She even has trouble walking a few steps by herself. She definitely needs help from others. She is not pretentious at all and nods at several people.

"Let's get going quickly. Wild boars have no natural enemies in this forest."

At the same time, she was thankful that it rained all night last night and that the wild boar was alone, otherwise she might have gone to hell by now.

Guan Jianguo often went to the county and city to find some temporary jobs, which were all hard work, so his body was in better shape than his fellow villagers who worked in the fields all year round. Tan Yuan could feel his muscles even through his clothes. Thinking about it, she wanted to spit on herself. Others were helping her escape, but why was her mind full of dirty garbage?

Although Li Xiu's legs were much better than yesterday and she could walk slowly, but if she had to run for her life, it would be really... not good enough. Nian Lin simply followed Guan Jianguo's example and carried her on his back and ran wildly.

In just a short while, not only Li Xiu, but even they could vaguely hear the calls of wild boars. If they didn't hurry up, they might have to face a group of wild boars in a while.

Li Xiu was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Fortunately, Guan Jianguo grew up in the mountains and was very familiar with them. Even if he had never been here before, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he would never miss a step.

They didn't sleep much that night in the mountains, and the people in the team who knew about it were the same, they didn't sleep well that night.

As soon as the rain stopped early in the morning, the team leader organized people to go up the mountain to look for someone.

"We don't expect these educated youth from outside to help us, but we can't cause any more trouble, right?"

When the locusts first arrived yesterday, everyone was feeling very upset. Then it rained heavily all night, and everyone was even more depressed. Now when they heard that a new educated youth had gone up the mountain yesterday and had not returned all night, it was as if they had found an outlet to vent their anger, and they started yelling one after another.

"The educated youth comrades came to our village because they obeyed the call of the country. They didn't know and it was not intentional. Let's all help out and go up the mountain to look for them. Anyone who is going up the mountain to look for people today, please sign up. I will give everyone full work points."

The men went up the mountain to look for people, while the elderly, women and children in the brigade stayed in the brigade to continue working.

After all, the locusts only ate a small part of the food. The food that was snatched away still had to be threshed and dried. The rice stalks in the field could not be wasted either. They were all useful and had to be collected.

The team leader had a headache when he thought about all these things, but he couldn't just ignore them. He had to go to the commune to see if they could help their team a little this year and pay less grain.

He had originally agreed to send eels and loaches to Tan Yuan. He caught them yesterday and planned to deliver them to Tan Yuan today. However, he heard such news before delivering the items.

He put the things back home and insisted on going up the mountain with his father Zhao Tiezhu to look for people.

When the Zhao family sent things to Tan Yuan, it was always Zhao Xiaosi who ran errands, so he was the one who was most familiar with Tan Yuan. However, Tan Yuan was always fair in giving things, one candy to each child, and no one fought over it. The Zhao family members all had a good impression of her. When they heard that she was in trouble, they all said that they would follow her up the mountain to look for her.
