God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy
Chapter 102 Refugees are coming!
I saw a group of ragged refugees gathered at the entrance of the village, their faces were carved by hunger and wind and frost, and their eyes had lost their former luster, with only a faint but firm desire. It was a yearning for the eternal fire of life, a faint light of struggle for survival in the abyss of despair.
Some were wrapped in cotton-padded clothes so tattered that the straw fluff was visible; some wore only thin clothes, shivering in the cold wind, their lips frozen purple, and every breath was filled with endless suffering.
There were also many people who brought their families with them. The elderly walked with difficulty and the women were extremely thin. Their eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness. Their legs seemed unable to support their heavy bodies and they could only sit on the ground, with their skinny children clinging to their backs.
Those children had hollow eyes and their cries were as thin as gossamer. They were like kittens forgotten by the world, whimpering weakly in the cold wind, but it seemed that they had almost run out of energy to cry.
"Please, give us something to eat! Our food has been taken away! We haven't had anything to eat in a long time!"
"Please!"
This tragic scene of human suffering made the villagers sob and feel unbearable. Some soft-hearted women even shed tears.
They had thought about the arrival of refugees, but they didn't expect that when this moment came, this scene would still hit everyone's heart hard!
"Village chief, how about...we give them something to eat?"
Some people tentatively asked the village chief, who was a little hesitant, but the old patriarch shook his head cruelly.
"We can't start this! Otherwise, more and more refugees will come, and even if our village has patrols, they won't be able to withstand their sheer numbers! Besides, starving people are capable of anything!"
Lin Yue was also worried that everyone would be soft-hearted and do something bad. After all, everyone was suffering from such a huge shock right now. Seeing the miserable state of the elderly and children, no one could bear it.
But they hadn't thought deeply enough. She understood human nature too well! Especially when people are extremely hungry, their nature cannot stand the test!
These people are really exhausted right now. What if they are full? No one can guarantee that they will leave immediately!
Another question is, if we save this group, what about the next group? Should we save them or not? What if the next group is the starving people?
"The old patriarch is right. We must not be soft-hearted. It's best to come up with a feasible solution. Human nature cannot withstand the test!"
Seeing that they were showing some signs of relaxation, the refugees began to crowd forward more and more. Some of them knelt down and kowtowed to the villagers, and their heads were even broken!
"Son! Look at me! Open your eyes and look at me! You can't die! I risked my life to bring you here! If you die like this, how can I live?"
Among the refugees, a woman holding a two or three-year-old child suddenly knelt on the ground, crying loudly for the child in her arms. The child's eyes were closed, and the half-exposed arm was so thin that only a layer of skin was left.
The man next to her also had red eyes and slapped himself hard in the face, blaming himself for not being able to protect his wife and children.
"Please, save this child! He hasn't eaten for several days! His mother has been feeding him with her own blood these past two days!"
An old woman rushed over and kowtowed to the villagers.
The woman was alerted and bit her arm hard, blood immediately gushed out. She quickly put her arm to the child's mouth, but the child didn't know how to suck.
Looking at her arms again, there were already many bite marks, which was shocking!
"Son! Have a bite! Son..."
"Woooo..."
Some people in the village couldn't help crying out loud.
This scene! It was so shocking! If no one rescued the child, he would surely die.
Seeing this, Lin Yue stepped forward and snatched the child away.
"I'm a doctor. I'm here to save him. You all step back and give him some air."
We asked them to step back a little because we were worried that they would rush into the village if they saw someone was soft-hearted and tried to rescue them. We also wanted to give the child some fresh air.
As he spoke, he examined the child and confirmed that he had gone into shock due to hunger, so he quickly asked someone to prepare a bowl of light salt water.
"There's still help!"
The child woke up from choking after half of the bowl of salt water was filled. Seeing the water, he began to drink it in big gulps.
When the woman saw the child wake up, she kowtowed to Lin Yue happily.
"Thank you……"
But she could not say anything other than thank you, because she knew that even though her child was saved this time, without food, at some point in the future, her child and herself would not be able to escape the fate of death.
"Go to the county! The county magistrate has built a porridge stall there. If you go early, you can get two bowls of porridge. The county magistrate is still recruiting refugees to continue building the porridge stall. If you are lucky enough to have a division of labor, you won't starve to death! You can also earn a few coins to buy some food."
Lin Yue shouted at them. She knew that County Magistrate Han was prepared. These people came early, probably because they couldn't get into Qingzhou City, so they came around. It was said that there was rescue from Qingzhou City, but there were too many refugees and it was possible that they couldn't be rescued at once.
Those who were able to get around would still have a great chance of survival if they arrived at the county earlier.
"The county?"
"How far is the county from here?"
When the refugees heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes, but some of them did not believe what Lin Yue said at all.
"From here to the county, we can get there in an hour by taking the official road down the mountain. Lord Han is a good official. He started making preparations before the New Year. Everyone, trust me, let's go quickly!"
Some of the refugees had already wavered and wanted to walk for another hour. Those who could hold on immediately turned around and walked down the mountain, but some people really couldn't walk anymore!
She sat on the ground and started crying.
"We can't walk any further. We still have an hour left, and if we do, we'll be dead! Please, give us something to eat!"
"If you really can't walk anymore, we'll gather some dry food for everyone. Just hold on and hurry up. If you're late, you'll be overtaken by the people behind you! Who knows, we might have to flee too soon!"
While Lin Yue was talking here, the village chief had already asked someone to go home and get some steamed buns, dried vegetables, cakes, and whole grains to fill their stomachs.
When the refugees heard this, they believed what Lin Yue said. Some of them had fled here halfway. If they had left earlier, they could still survive. But if they fled late, they heard that the people behind them had their food robbed by the rebels. If they obeyed, they would be spared and forced to do hard labor, but if they disobeyed, they would be killed!
Now that the people in this village were willing to give them food and asked them to move forward quickly, their confidence was rekindled.
Everyone knew that the people in this village would soon become refugees like them.
The villagers looked at them, thanked everyone, and then stumbled on their way again.
Lin Yue saw it clearly. The four men stuffed several cakes into the arms of the child. The woman and the man were so moved that they burst into tears and kowtowed to them.
