Chapter 249: Wheat in Circumvention

He and his tribesmen went out to explore separately. One reason was to explore the way, after all, it was dangerous outside and they were afraid of Hu soldiers and bandits; the other reason was that the forest was deep and they wanted to hunt something to bring back for a living.

What a shame! I encountered such a thing as soon as I met him. How could I not be worried?

As the matter concerned the future of more than a hundred people, Uncle Yin did not dare to be negligent and immediately asked Li Yaoguang to lead the way to check it out.

Li Yaoguang remembered the other party's help just now, and wanted to go back to retrieve the crossbow arrows he had shot. More importantly, this mad dog also held grudges. He had killed so many of them, and if possible... it would be better to kill the ones who were knocked unconscious quickly without leaving any tails.

Thinking of this, Li Yaoguang agreed and led the way. On the way back, avoiding Uncle Yin who was walking hurriedly and impatiently, Li Yaoguang carefully and successfully retrieved all the poisoned crossbow arrows, led people to the place where he had spread the sleeping pills in front, raised a hatchet and went up to kill all the unconscious dogs.

When Uncle Yin saw Li Yaoguang's neat appearance and thought of the dog corpses he saw along the way, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but admire her.

"You're good, kid. Have you practiced before?"

Li Yaoguang smiled but said nothing.

Uncle Yin saw this and muttered to himself that he felt that Li Yaoguang was a talented person because he could remain calm in the face of adversity. He was very fond of him and immediately wanted to get to know him and make friends with him.

But this can be put off until later; the most important thing right now is to explore the way forward.

Praising and putting away the thumbs up at Li Yaoguang, Uncle Yin turned around and was about to move forward regardless of the stench. However, Li Yaoguang reminded him in time to cover his mouth and nose with his clothes. Uncle Yin did as he was told and did not vomit on the spot when he saw the endless corpses on the road ahead.

But even so, Uncle Yin had a pale face. Looking at the road ahead, Uncle Yin, who was hurriedly retreating being dragged by Li Yaoguang, could not help but sigh dejectedly.

"Oh, what should I do? This is the only way. If I don't go through this place, I will have to walk a lot more and go around a lot of ridges to get to the destination!"

Li Yaoguang felt sorry for him and advised, "Uncle, we can't go this way even if it's a necessary route. We don't know what happened to so many corpses. If we go this way, we can't bear the smell. Even if we can, we'll be infected with bad luck. If an epidemic breaks out, more than one or two people will fall down. Maybe no one will survive. I advise you to be cautious. If possible, you can't go this way even if you have to take a long detour."

Uncle Yin understood that this was the truth, but he was just a pathfinder, not someone who could make the decision. At this moment, he just wanted to go back and report to the clan leader as soon as possible. He didn't want to delay any more, but he couldn't bear to leave his friend. Seeing that Li Yaoguang was alone, Uncle Yin simply made an invitation.

"Boy, I'm in a hurry to go back to the tribe to discuss this matter. I can't stay any longer. I have to go. Do you want to go with me?"

"Together?" Li Yaoguang was surprised by the invitation.

Seeing that she had no objection, the other party became more sincere and eager.

"Yes, let's go together! I can't bear to see you alone. The world is in chaos now. You are so young, no matter how capable you are, you will suffer. Don't worry, I and my people are not bad people. We are going to the west to seek refuge with our relatives. It is said that there is a way to survive there. If you don't have a companion, why don't you follow me? We can take care of each other. What do you think?"

What could she say? Just thinking about going west made her heart beat faster.

It was hard to refuse the other party's kindness, and with Huang Rourou, it would be difficult for him to enter the space if he encountered danger. In this case, it would be better to have a companion and let someone familiar with the route lead the way. It would just be inconvenient to use the space in the future. Li Yaoguang, who was ready to follow to see the situation, accepted the offer and bowed to the other party. "Uncle Yin is kind and righteous. Thank you very much, Li Yaoguang."

Uncle Yin laughed and scratched his head when he heard this. "Good boy, no need to thank me. My wife's family members are all surnamed He, and they are all good people. When we get to the place, I will introduce you to everyone. Don't worry, I will not embarrass you."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Yin."

Just like that, Li Yaoguang followed Uncle Yin up the hill and sneaked back to where their tribesmen were staying. As soon as he came back, he was surrounded by the tribesmen.

The children shouted, "Uncle Seventeen, are you back?"

The elders asked, "Seventeenth son-in-law, how is the situation ahead?"

Uncle Yin did not dare to delay and quickly told Li Yaoguang beside him what had happened to him. After hearing this, the clan members all looked gloomy, and most of them felt sympathetic.

The clan leader discussed with the elders about Li Yaoguang and said to him, "My child, the world is not peaceful nowadays and it is not easy for everyone to go out. I heard from the seventeenth son-in-law that it was thanks to your reminder that he did not bring back the man-eating mad dog. Thank you very much. I heard that you are going west too, right? We are going the same way, so let's support each other and go together so that we can take care of each other."

Li Yaoguang felt that the voice sounded familiar for some reason. Before she could react, and without waiting for her to thank him, the man began to give orders to the tribesmen around him.

"Seventeenth son-in-law, I have also benefited from kind-hearted people. I think kind-hearted people also want me to be a good person. The child you brought is alone and has no luggage. I am afraid he will have a hard life. So, take the child to your third aunt and tell her that I asked you to give him a bowl of wheat. Although it is not much, it can last for a while. We can walk and see the rest. A living person will not die from urine suffocation. If it really doesn't work, we can't catch prey. There are many wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains in autumn. Although they are a little old, they are not inedible. If you are really hungry, what does suffering and old age mean? Grass roots and tree bark are all good. Let's support each other and endure it. Maybe everything will be fine after a while..."

Uncle Yin beside him hurriedly thanked him after hearing this. Li Yaoguang didn't care about the doubts in his heart and hurried to thank him too.

When she followed Uncle Yin to the center of the crowd, she came up to her third aunt's wife, who was thin, had gray hair, looked mean, but was actually very kind. She watched the old lady holding a torn bowl, opening a sack that looked very familiar to her, and scooping out a bowl of wheat from the remaining half of the sack and handing it to her. Li Yaoguang felt as if struck by lightning.

No wonder the voice is familiar!
Look at this bag, this wheat, wow, the emotions have gone round and round, the wheat that I gave away last night out of confusion and softness is coming back now?
This is what happened!
Li Yaoguang took the bowl of wheat that his third uncle's wife had stuffed in his mouth, and looked at the more than a hundred people resting around him. He felt a little amused, but in his heart he couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't kill anyone last night.

Yes, we are all poor people. Even if we have some small thoughts, who would be willing to be the bad guy unless they are forced to do so?
When their own people were starving and food was so precious, they were still willing to share a bowl of rice with a stranger like her. What a group of people!

Just because of the heavy bowl of wheat in his hand, Li Yaoguang, who came to follow, made up his mind to go along.

What Li Yaoguang didn't know at this moment was that because he joined the refugees, he bypassed the flood-stricken area, went deep into the mountains and went west, and happened to avoid his uncle and the soldiers sent by Shen Yue to investigate and search along the two sides of the flooded banks.

This is not their fault. Knowing that she fell into the water, Shen Yue and the others naturally went to inquire along the river. How could they have thought that she ran into the mountains and ran farther and farther to avoid the water?

When Li Yaoguang was heading west, Cheng Su and his men were still searching on both sides of the river. During this time, they encountered many refugees and encountered many dangers. During their investigation, Black Whirlwind and Desheng were almost eaten by the hungry refugees as if they were dogs.

In order to protect Desheng and Cheng Su, Black Whirlwind was unfortunately injured and lost from the searching team. These reasons slowed down the search progress and led to them missing each other later... Of course, this is all a story for later.
