I heard that the underworld judge has a crush on me

The sky is still raging, and everyone's northward migration is still going on, but as time goes by, gradually, fewer and fewer people can keep up with the team. From time to time, some people fall down on the road due to lack of water or hunger. In this case, once they fall, it is impossible to stand up again.

The shadow of death hangs over everyone's heart. When it's time to rest at night, there are fewer and fewer people chatting, and people begin to become silent. The endless trek and the loss of relatives around them almost crush them. The uncertainty Tomorrow... can't give them enough comfort.

Lin Xiangnan and Chu Yunxian tried to find a way to stop the fire, but sighed that there was nothing they could do. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the village, and the people in the team were panic-stricken, Lin Xiangnan had to appease their emotions, but also tried his best to plan For the next route, under the pressure of many parties, he gradually became a little weak. His body, which was not considered strong, became weaker and weaker, and his cheeks sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After climbing over countless mountains, what everyone saw was no longer the rugged mountain road, but the endless scorched earth—they finally reached the plain.

Lin Xiangnan turned his head and glanced behind him. Due to the long-term travel, everyone looked ashamed and embarrassed, their lips were turned up with white edges due to dryness, the children's cheeks were sunken from hunger, and the girls' beautiful dresses were also disfigured. It has long been dilapidated, and if you take a closer look, you will find that some people's eyes have even begun to collapse.

Traveling to this point, everyone's body and spirit have reached their limits. If they move forward rashly at this time, it may cause irreversible consequences.

"Let's look around here, maybe we can meet a living person." Lin Xiangnan said: "If there is a place to rest here, we should be able to rest for a while."

Cheers came from the crowd.

"There are too many people, so it's inconvenient to walk." Lin Xiangnan suggested: "This place is not too far from the north, why don't we just leave here, it's up to you to decide whether to continue going north or stop for a rest." He paused After a while, he tentatively looked at the crowd: "I don't know what you think?"

This is going to break up.

When everyone heard the words, they nodded their heads in agreement, and soon, people from each village consciously divided into teams, and headed in all directions together.

In the end, Lin Xiangnan and Chu Yunxian were left with only those people from the same village.

Lin Xiangnan roughly counted, and found that the number of people had changed from 64 at the beginning...to only eleven people left.

Apart from him and Mother Lin, there is also Chu Yunxian, the little boy whose parents died together in the natural disaster, a few strong middle-aged people, and a young couple who just got married—among them, he felt the most. Surprisingly, the charming daughter of the noodle shop owner has survived to this day.

But in the end something was different.Rao Lin Xiangnan didn't pay much attention to her before, but he can clearly see the change of the girl - the coquettishness on her body that was used to by her parents has been worn away by these many changes, and she has turned into a certain kind of girl. Something tougher.Although his face was no longer as white and tender as before, under the cover of dust, those eyes were amazingly bright.

"Lin San'er." She said to Lin Xiangnan, "You and Mr. Chu have led us for so long and came here without any danger. We trust you both."

"No matter what other people think," the girl paused, raised her eyes to stare at Lin Xiangnan's eyes, "For me, I am already content to live up to now. From now on, my life will be entrusted to you I have it in my hand—it can be regarded as a repayment for your previous life-saving grace."

Hearing this, Lin Xiangnan looked back at Chu Yunxian in surprise: "She's not..."

Wasn't she saved by you?Why did the title of lifesaver fall on me for no reason?

Chu Yunxian signaled him not to say more with his eyes, and while everyone was not paying attention, he leaned over and explained in a low voice next to his ear: "I told her before that you asked me to go back and save her."

This is Chu Yunxian's usual way. From everything as big as everything to small things in daily life, he is always used to paving all the roads for Lin Xiangnan. In every unexpected detail, this man can be seen alone. Some are gentle.

Lin Xiangnan's heart softened, and when he turned his head to see the girl's firm expression, he frowned slightly and said, "It's useless if I take your life, you can keep it for yourself."

The girl frowned: "But..."

Mingming is not very old, but he still wants to put on an old-fashioned look. Lin Xiangnan recalled the girl's pretty and bright look when he first met, and couldn't help but sighed: "Don't always keep a straight face when you are young, life is already hard enough , there is no need to be so harsh on yourself.”

Girls are born to match roses.

Sorrow and trouble are the business of men like them. She can learn to be strong and learn to be self-reliant, but she should not hand over her life to others, like a desperate gambler.

"Smile more." Lin Xiangnan struggled to pull a smile from his tired face: "Since I want to see the world for your father, I have to live longer."

……

After parting from the main force, Lin Xiangnan and others continued to walk northward for nearly half an hour, and finally found refugees hiding in a canyon.

Coincidentally, due to special geographical reasons, there is a straight and steep slope above the canyon, which can just stop most of the fire from the sky. When the disaster just happened, the nearby villagers hid here, leaning against the canyon The fruits and animals in it have persisted until now.

After seeing Lin Xiangnan and his party, people in the canyon gathered around one after another, impatient to know how the situation above is now.

"It's not good." Lin Xiangnan said with a bitter smile: "The fields are dry, the river is dry, and the mortals are displaced, and they are in pain."

The people here have been hiding here since the beginning of the natural disaster, and they have never seen the scene of starvation and death in the world, like a purgatory scene. Now, after learning about the situation outside from Lin Xiangnan, their eyes show unbearable expressions.

"Poor!" An old woman stepped forward and hugged the little boy beside Chu Yunxian with a distressed face: "Such a small child..."

Withered hands held the boy's skinny arm weakly, and the old woman's cloudy eyes were slightly closed, and she was about to shed tears.

"Oh my god!" She gasped and cursed angrily, "The child is so innocent!"

"What's your name?" A little girl about the same age as a boy came out from behind the old woman. Her fair and plump face was in stark contrast to the withered boy. She blinked her watery eyes and asked him crisply.

"My name is..." Looking at the clean little girl, the boy lowered his head in shame and said in a low voice, "My name is Su Yong."

"My name is Tao Yao." The little girl smiled and took his hand, not displeased with the dirt and dust on it, she pointed to the old man who was holding Su Yong: "This is my grandma!"

Tao Yao seemed to have an extremely outgoing personality, seeing Su Yong alone, she asked curiously, "Where are your parents?"

Su Yong's eyes darkened: "They..."

Chu Yunxian solved the boy's plight in time, and said softly from the side: "They are not with us, they went elsewhere."

As he spoke, he gently stroked the girl's fluffy hair, looked at the old woman with a smile and praised, "Your granddaughter is a rare lively character."

No one would dislike their children being praised, and the old woman was no exception. After hearing Chu Yunxian's praise, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, but she still insisted on being modest: "Ah, a love It's just a twittering yellow-haired girl."

Chu Yunxian said politely: "We may rest here for a few days in the future, if there is any disturbance, please forgive me."

"They are all people in distress," the old woman waved her hand, "What are you talking about, whether to disturb or not, you can rest assured, if you need any help, just come to us."

Lin Xiangnan looked around the entire valley, and saw that there were simple dwellings built with tree trunks and grass leaves everywhere. He stepped forward and asked, "Is there any place where we can live?"

"Yes." Another middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and introduced himself to the crowd, "I am the village head of this village. Let me take you there."

Chu Yunxian nodded politely to him: "Thank you."

Su Yong naturally wanted to go with them too, the old woman bent down and put him down, then patted his head distressedly and said: "If you have nothing to do, you can come to find your mother-in-law, my Xiaoyao happens to be about the same age as you, you just happen to I can be a playmate."

Su Yong was originally a lively and mischievous character. In the past, he would have pulled Tao Yao's braid with a smile, and when the old woman was angry and picked up the broom, he would turn around and run deftly, turning his head while running. Shout: "Mother-in-law, I will definitely come here often!"

But because of the various experiences during this period of time, he has long since lost the confidence to act recklessly before. After hearing what the old woman said, he just silently lowered his head and said "Thank you mother-in-law" dully.

Chu Yunxian and Lin Xiangnan knew Su Yong's character in the past. Seeing that he was so cautious, they couldn't help but look at each other, with some worries in their eyes.

Extreme environments are often the easiest way to change people. Unknowingly, today's Su Yong, the noodle shop owner's daughter, and even Lin Xiangnan himself have become more or less different from what they used to be.

"Remember to come and play with me!" Until the crowd was about to leave, Tao Yao was still reluctantly shouting from behind: "Don't forget!"

At the moment when people's hearts are fluctuating and restless, Tao Yao's appearance is like a beam of bright light, temporarily taking everyone away from the shadows of many days. In a trance, they seem to have returned to the quiet and peaceful small village in the past.

The straw is yellow in autumn, and the relatives are still by my side.
