Chapter 259 Jing's Terrifying Station
"Hahaha, take the water back this time and drink it sparingly. At least we can get to where Second Grandpa is, right?"

"I think it will definitely work. Brother, you don't know that in order to bring more water for the journey, my wife took out all the jars of pickles yesterday and told me not to wash too much. Salty water is also a good thing!"

"Don't mention it. My grandma did the same thing. She even used the wooden basin for washing feet and told me to drink the water in the basin. Humph!"

"Haha, Erwa, you are such a talented nurse. Drink up now, or else the foot washing water will taste sour."

Everyone walked along the way in the morning sun, their hearts excited. They arrived at the destination in two hours. Seeing the containers full of water by the pit, everyone expressed gratitude to Li Yaoguang, drank their fill of water, and some stayed behind to continue receiving the water while the others began to take turns transporting it out.

Li Yaoguang had been busy all night without sleeping much and was really exhausted. Now, because the village needed to store more water and time was of the essence, he simply stopped moving. He ate the dry food brought by the villagers, found a place with a back seat not far from the pit, spread some medicine to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, and went to sleep.

Seeing this, Uncle Yin arranged for the two boys who were on shift yesterday to fetch water back. Out of concern for his little friend, he also followed Li Yaoguang's example and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the sun was setting in the west. The villagers' cheerful voices filled her ears. When they saw her get up, they greeted her warmly.

"Fuwazi, are you awake?"

Uncle Yin, who woke up earlier, frowned and scolded, "Go away, why call him Fuwazi? Aren't you afraid of calling him away? I think it's better to call him Guangge'er!" After scolding the tribesman, he turned around and looked at Li Yaoguang with a smile: "Did Guangge'er rest well? If he does, shall we go back now?"

She had been out for so long that she missed her cat. She didn't know if it was hungry because she didn't cook for it. She wanted to go back. She nodded and said, "Uncle Yin, I've rested and can leave anytime. But is there enough water in the village?"

Uncle Yin smiled and nodded, "Haha, okay, okay. Thanks to you, we have almost enough water now. Every household in the village has enough water now."

"Oh, that's good. Shall we go now?"

"Hey, let's go, let's go."

After responding with a smile, Uncle Yin quickly leaned down the pit and shouted, "Huzi, let's go."

A response came from the bottom of the pit immediately, "Hey, okay, Uncle Seventeen, wait until I fill up the last jar and fill up the bottom, then I'll come up."

Li Yaoguang got anxious when he heard this, and he rushed over and shouted, "Wait, don't fill it up."

Hu Zi looked up and met Li Yaoguang's eyes. He smiled innocently and scratched his head in confusion, "Brother Guang, the water has been collected and we are leaving soon. We are not coming back, so why don't you fill it up?"

Li Yaoguang sighed, "We are leaving, and we may not return, but in such a dry day, there will be many refugees like us coming and going. It is said that those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. We must not only save this water, but also leave a guide along the way to tell those passing by on the official road that they can find water here and survive. Let's do what we can today, and maybe one day it will be passed on to our relatives, friends, and descendants. What do you think?"

Everyone...

Uncle Yin savored these words and nodded, "Well, Brother Guang is not bad, no wonder he can be a lucky star, he has a kind heart! He is destined to be blessed, we will listen to you."

Because of this, they were delayed on their way back.

Along the way, Li Yaoguang used the stones that everyone picked up according to her assignments to pile up a triangular arrow every three or four hundred meters. They went all the way back and worked together to build a large wooden pier on the side of the official road. Li Yaoguang personally carved words and pictures on it, not only indicating that there was water ahead, but also warning passers-by that they could find water sources and save their lives by following the arrows. After doing all this, it was completely dark, but they were not afraid. There were many of them, so they lit temporary torches made of pine resin to illuminate the way. Everyone went back happily with water. At first, it was lively and lively. As they walked, they were about to reach the place where the large group was settling. Suddenly, there was a movement in the bushes.

Everyone was on alert, their expressions tense. Uncle Yin even put down the wooden barrel in his hand and reached directly for the bow on his back. He quickly bent the bow and drew the arrow, aiming in the direction of the noise.

Just as he was about to let go, a meow suddenly sounded. Li Yaoguang paused and quickly called out to stop, "Uncle Yin, wait a minute."

The moment the voice fell, a familiar figure flashed out from behind the bushes and ran straight towards Li Yaoguang. Uncle Yin saw that it was Huang Cacao, laughed and scolded him, but put away the bow and arrow in his hand.

Hu Zi and the others beside him were surprised: "Hey, you scared me, I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this little thing. Brother Guang, you are a very smart cat, you even knew you were back and came to pick you up specially."

Li Yaoguang rubbed the cat in his arms and nodded subconsciously, "Yeah, my cat is really good at rubbing against others." But then he felt something was wrong.

The little guy is small and well behaved. He never runs around. I told him to do it before I left. He didn't know when I would be back. How could he come to pick me up? And by such a coincidence? And now he is restless in my arms?

This is very wrong!
Subconsciously, Li Yaoguang paused rubbing the cat and looked in the direction where the villagers should be camping. There was no fire and it was pitch black.

Li Yaoguang subconsciously asked the people around him, "Uncle Yin, if I remember correctly, everyone's destination is not far away, right?"

Uncle Yin held up the torch and illuminated the surroundings. As a hunter who had been running in the mountains for many years, he was very good at remembering the way. After comparing the environment with reference objects, Uncle Yin nodded solemnly, "Yes, it's not far away."

Uncle Yin's answer made Li Yaoguang's face change. Everyone around was confused, but seeing her expression, they became anxious and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Brother Guang? Is there something wrong?"

What's wrong? It's totally wrong!

Li Yaoguang sensed the mood of the cat in his arms and pointed to the direction of the campsite in his memory. He said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, that should be the campsite where everyone is staying to rest, right?"

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, took a closer look, and nodded, "Yes, that's right, it's right there, how come..."

"Everyone, listen to me." Without waiting for anyone to ask any more questions, Li Yaoguang went straight to the point, "Normally, with so many people staying here, and it being a cold autumn night, if there is no danger from external enemies, wouldn't everyone light a fire to cook and keep warm?"

"Yes," Hu Zi said, "We gave birth last night."

"Then look carefully, is there any fire ahead?"

Hu Zi was just agreeing when Li Yaoguang said this again. In an instant, Hu Zi's unfinished words were completely stuck. He could not help but squint anxiously to look at the direction of the campsite, but there was really no trace of light.

This is very wrong!
When everyone realized this, Li Yaoguang struck again with a heavy blow.

"Another thing is, even if we have some concerns, we didn't light a fire to keep warm and light. With so many people gathered together, there must be some noise. Look, listen carefully, isn't it terribly quiet up ahead? Also, there's something wrong with my family, they're obviously anxious and worried, and even afraid. Uncle Yin, and everyone else, I'm afraid something has happened in the camp..."
