Starve!!
K-27
Knowing there was a mountain nearby, Ning Bai and the others were also very excited. This is a chance to survive!
He simply did not know if any other escapees had gone to the mountain to consume all the water and wild vegetables.
“Alright, I'll tell everyone. We'll speed it up tomorrow.” Ning Bai patted Ning Laosan on the shoulder and said excitedly.
“Oke.” Ning smiled back.
!!
That night, everyone's spirits improved again from seeing hope.
Ning Yue was infected by the relaxed and happy atmosphere around her, so she decided to teach her brother how to play Gomoku. He found a branch and drew a chessboard on the ground beside the fire. Then, he taught his brother the rules of Gomoku. A group of children gathered together and played happily.
“Alright, all right, time for bed!” Second Aunt Feng was the first to call Ning Sanalng away.
Then, Eldest Aunt and Third Aunt called their children to sleep, leaving only Ning Yue and her three younger brothers. He threw away the tree. “Quick and sleep!”
Ning Balang said, “Sister, play chess with me again tomorrow.”
“Sure, I can teach you how to play another one. I learned it in the capital.” Ning Yue agreed easily.
Hearing him mention the capital so naturally now, the three younger brothers were slightly surprised. In the past, they were not allowed to mention it.
That means Big Brother has already dealt with it, right? That's a good thing!
“OK!” Ning Ba Lang nodded happily and found a place to sleep. Ning Jiulang and Ning Shilang immediately slept next to each other. The three of them had to sleep together at night, but they were not afraid of the heat.
It must be said that ancient times were different. Even with drought, it is not too hot at night. Sometimes, the wind will feel cold.
Ning Yue also clapped her hands and went to sleep. Before going to bed, he went to the room to eat something.
“Come go. Everyone, work hard. We might be able to reach the foot of the mountain today!” Ning Bai shouted to everyone before leaving the next day.
“Good!” everyone said in unison.
Ning Yue had already thought about what to take from her space.
On the way, the people from the Ning Family Village met with another group of refugees. There were about a dozen of them who were all men. Although they were hungry and thin, their eyes were sharp as they stared at the carts or packs of villagers.
When Ning Bai saw the situation was not right, he immediately gathered everyone together and walked in a large group. He did not want them to part, while the strong man led and protected their retreat.
In the end, they walked through that path peacefully. However, at the same time, someone murmured inwardly, “If there is a high mountain not far ahead, why doesn't the team climb the mountain?”
There are only two possibilities. The first is that there is no mountain at all in front. The second was that there was a mountain but there was nothing there, so the team returned empty-handed.
Any possibility is a bad sign.
“Are they.... returning because they didn't find the mountains?” someone finally asked.
His words were echoed by others. “Yes. Could there be nothing on that mountain?”
“What should we do? God, give us a way out! Huu huu..”.
“I might as well die. I can't take it anymore!”
Some people beg for heaven, while others begin to give in to themselves. Ning Yue felt extremely depressed.
Ning Bai glanced at Old Master Ning, who was shut up. Everyone listened and walked closer. If they really came back empty-handed, someone would definitely blame him.
Ning Bai said out loud, “Be strong. You've endured for so long. Are you going to give up? Forward!”
“There must be a mountain in front!” a clear voice said. Ning Yue stepped forward. “I had a dream last night. I dream there is a mountain ahead, with water and food!”
The others looked at Ning Yue in shock.
Ning Yue did not dream at all. He only believed in his grandfather's decision. There must be a mountain ahead, but it was hard to tell if there was water and food on that mountain. That's why his grandfather kept quiet.
That doesn't matter. As long as Ning Yue entered the mountains, there would definitely be food!
“How can you believe in dreams?” someone asked in disbelief.
Old Madam Ning stood up. “I believe. My Yueyue is a lucky girl. He saved a few people along the way. Everyone knows what to do. If you don't believe him, you can split up!
As soon as he said this, everyone became even more silent. If they escaped separately, they would die.
Ning Bai also believed in Ning Yue.
This girl seems very lucky. She said, “I also believe in Ning Yue. If anyone doesn't want to go together, we'll split up here. Careful.”
