Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine
Chapter 81 Encountering Danger in the Jungle
There was nothing to hide in the jungle except the trees, so everyone huddled together under a relatively lush tree.
Even Rongrong wore a windbreaker this morning, and it was thanks to that windbreaker that Fubao would have been soaked too.
Lian Rongrong wrapped Fu Bao in her windbreaker, the hood of which just covered Fu Bao's little head.
As a result, although the rain was heavy, Fu Bao didn't get wet at all.
Lin Chuyue sat next to Lian Rongrong the whole time. Not many people knew about the spatial ring, but Lin Chuyue was one of them.
Seeing everyone in such an awkward situation, not only Rongrong, but even Lin Chuyue was furious.
Lin Chuyue gently touched Lian Rongrong with her hand, then lowered her voice and whispered in Lian Rongrong's ear:
"Little sister, do you think Lian Xiuyan will hide the ring?"
"Does your sister-in-law have a solution?" Lian Rongrong immediately looked at Lin Chuyue upon hearing this.
"We can only try, but we can't just touch her whole body all at once. So we have to guess where she hid it?"
Lian Rongrong glanced at Lian Xiuyan out of the corner of her eye. In fact, she had been observing her annoying aunt all along the way.
But she didn't seem to care much about anything, nor did she seem to be deliberately protecting anything. So Lian Rongrong really couldn't figure out where Lian Xiuyan had hidden the ring.
Just as Lian Rongrong was racking her brains, a spider crawled onto her body.
Lian Rongrong's eyes flashed, and a wicked smile crept onto her lips.
"Actually, touching the whole body isn't necessarily a bad thing!"
"What did you say?" Lin Chuyue was stunned. She turned her head and saw Lian Rongrong grab the spider off her body and flick it with her finger. The spider landed in Lian Xiuyan's collar.
Lian Xiuyan screamed and jumped up instantly.
Lin Chuyue immediately stepped forward and "kindly" caught the spider for Lian Xiuyan.
However, this spider was really not easy to catch. Lin Chuyue had to search every part of Lian Xiuyan's clothes before she finally managed to get the little thing out of her clothes.
When Lin Chuyue returned to Lian Rongrong's side, her expression was not good.
"No?" Lian Rongrong asked, frowning.
Lin Chuyue nodded, "I searched her entire body, and there's definitely nothing there!"
"Where could it be? Could it be that we didn't bring it with us in the panic?" Lian Rongrong frowned and murmured, but she felt that this was unlikely.
Since they stole the ring, they must have known something, so why go through all that trouble only to lose it in the end?
"No!" Lian Rongrong suddenly looked up at Wen Hui. There was another possibility: the item really wasn't on Lian Xiuyan!
Lian Rongrong glanced at the grass beside her, casually picked up another insect, winked at Lin Chuyue, and whispered:
"I'll have to trouble you again, sister-in-law."
Lin Chuyue followed Lian Rongrong's gaze and saw Wen Hui obediently serving her mother-in-law.
"You suspect your second sister-in-law? That can't be true!" Lin Chuyue wasn't particularly close to Wen Hui, but they got along alright.
After all, the household chores that she disliked were all handled by this younger sister-in-law. And someone had also told Lin Chuyue about what happened at the Tianzhan Bridge.
Therefore, in Lin Chuyue's view, apart from her poor relationship with her second brother, Wen Hui ultimately still sided with the Lian family.
"Whether it's her or not, we'll know once we try!"
Lian Rongrong raised her right hand slightly and subtly flicked the insect into Wen Hui's collar.
Wenhui screamed in fright, startling even her mother who was standing nearby.
"Sister-in-law, save me!" Wen Hui cried out as she asked Lin Chuyue to help her catch the worm.
When Lin Chuyue searched Lian Xiuyan earlier, Wen Hui had already guessed that it was Lian Rongrong's doing.
She just hadn't expected that brat would suspect her so quickly.
So, in order to dispel Lian Rongrong's doubts, Wen Hui took the initiative to approach the two women and let them search her.
The ring wasn't hidden on her body to begin with, so this attempt naturally yielded no results.
At this point, even Rongrong was completely at a loss. She even increasingly suspected that Lian Xiuyan had dropped the amber ring in the village during the chaos.
But no matter what the situation is, we still have to keep going.
Now, all they had left were a few powerful flashlights. In order to leave this place as soon as possible, they rested for a while and then set off into the dark, braving the rain.
The rain was pouring down harder and harder; there was no difference between sheltering under a tree and walking on the street. Everyone was soaked to the bone, inside and out.
Only Fu Bao, under Lian Rongrong's protection, slept peacefully in the blanket made of a windbreaker.
The group endured hunger and cold, walking and stopping intermittently for several hours.
Everyone's bodies were already at their limit, but the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.
"This can't go on! We're fine, but Grandmother and Mother can't hold on any longer!"
Lin Chuyue, holding her daughter, spoke breathlessly to Lian Yijun.
Lian Yijun was well aware of this, but what could he do now? To survive, he had to leave this place as soon as possible.
In such dense forests, wild animals and poisonous creatures often roam, and now, with this torrential rain, the situation is dire.
If landslides occur on both sides of the mountain, I'm afraid everyone will perish here.
As a military general, Lian Yijun feared nothing more than this kind of terrain.
Such low-lying areas are extremely dangerous, whether caused by natural disasters or ambushes.
However, that's how things are; it seems that what people fear most is what will happen.
At noon on the second day, when everyone's physical strength had reached its limit, a loud noise suddenly came from the mountains.
Lian Yijun looked up and saw the trees on the mountain swaying violently in the wind, their leaves falling one after another, and the air filled with the murky smell of earth.
The murky mud, mixed with a large number of rocks, branches and debris, collided and rubbed against each other, like an awakened beast, rushing down from the mountaintop with the power to destroy everything.
"Oh no! It's a mudslide!" Lian Yijun's eyes narrowed. He looked at the road ahead and his hope vanished instantly.
Lian Yijun knew they couldn't escape. The only way out was to climb the tree and hide at a high place, where they might have a chance of survival.
"Everyone, get up the tree!" Lian Yijun calmly and collectedly commanded the group.
Lian Yijun, Lin Chuyue, Lian Rongrong, and the accompanying guards were all skilled in martial arts, so climbing trees was not difficult for them.
However, the old lady, Lian's mother, Lian Xiuyan, Wen Hui, Wang Yang, and several head maids all knew absolutely nothing about martial arts.
Lian Yijun could not abandon her grandmother and mother, nor could Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue.
The three of them abandoned their chance to immediately climb the tree for refuge and instead rushed towards the old lady and Lian's mother respectively.
The old lady had difficulty moving around, and even with Lian Yijun helping her, she still couldn't climb up.
Lian's mother wasn't doing much better. Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue were dragging their mother along, but she couldn't lift her off the ground at all.
Seeing that no one was coming to her rescue, Lian Xiuyan started screaming in distress, Wang Yang was cursing, and Wen Hui was struggling to climb while hanging from her necklace pendant.
The mudslide was getting closer and closer, but just when Lian Rongrong and Lian Yijun thought they were doomed, their bodies suddenly lifted into the air.
