Starve!!
K-28
Ning Yue was very surprised. Did the village chief trust him so much?
Still, he was touched. Trust is something to be proud of.
The others were silenced by the words of Old Madam Ning and Ning Bai. In fact, they did not have the courage to run away alone. There is power in numbers. If something happens, they can help each other.
If they were alone, they would definitely be someone else's food. How lucky and strong will they be to survive?
!!
“Because no one is talking, it means you don't want to go alone. There are still many difficulties that we have to face. I hope everyone can be more united in the future and there is no such conflict anymore. Only then will our chances of survival be greater. Ning Bai is indeed the village chief. His words are very dignified. His voice was loud and his tone was firm, instantly making people feel respect for him.
They all agreed.
“Ning Tian, grab two people and move on. Come back before dark,” Ning Bai instructed her son.
Ning Tian accepted the mission without complaint. When he went to pick people, Ning Dalang and Third Sister Ning stood up again and offered to go with him.
“Sister Ning and Third Sister Ning, you two are injured and have not fully recovered. Don't tire yourself again.” Ning Tian looked at the wounds on their faces and rejected them.
Ning Dalang and Third Brother Ning looked at each other with resolute eyes. “This small injury is fine. We'd better both go with you. The others are useless like the two of us.”
Old Master Ning also said, “Let them go. Whether they find the mountains or not, they should return before dark.”
As Ning Yue listened, she felt this was a bit too exhausting. He took out a small firework that could light up before handing it over to Ning Tian.
“Uncle Ning, I bought this from the kiosk when I was bored in the past. Pick it up and turn it on when you find the mountain. We'll hurry when we see it. We will return to our place of origin if we do not find that mountain.”
Ning Tian picked up the little fireworks and nodded. “Oke.”
This will save a lot of trouble. If they found the mountain range, they would not need to go back for help.
After the three of them left, the others rested on the spot. Some of them had already started sleeping on the ground. They felt that Ning Tian and the others would definitely not be able to find the mountain, so there was no hope.
Others stick out their necks in anticipation of the fireworks.
Ning Yue was the one who was looking forward to it. He looked in the direction where the three of them were going from time to time, afraid that he would miss something.
As time went on, the sun set in the west. However, Ning Tian and the other two did not return before nightfall. There were no fireworks to tell them about their progress. It made everyone's heart beat fast. Could they have failed to find the mountains and been harmed?
“Oh no, it's late at night. They may have met the bad guy!”
“One stop. People eat people now. They will eat anything when they are hungry.”
“What should we do? They can't live!”
Everyone started talking and their cries mixed in the conversation.
Only the Ning Yue family and the village head family were silent. No one is talking. The hope in their hearts shattered bit by bit, but no one wanted to say it.
Ning Tian brought his wife, son-in-law, and granddaughter to Ning Yue's side. He looked at Old Master Ning with deep worry in his eyes, but he did not say anything.
Ning Yue's heart was beating faster. He's nervous too.
What if something happens to Eldest Uncle?
The atmosphere became increasingly tense. As everyone was trying to catch their breath, the sky in the distance suddenly brightened for a moment. Small fireworks bloomed, and a faint sound was heard.
“Firework!” The kids immediately cheered. “That's fireworks. Uncle Ning Tian and the others have found that mountain!”
Everyone stood up excitedly and looked towards the fireworks.
Ning Bai was also very excited. He was like a fish that would die of thirst but suddenly return to the water. He yells to everyone, “Quick pack your things and go ahead!”
“Ya!”
Everyone packed up and left immediately. The moonlight is bright, so there is no harm in traveling at night.
After walking for about an hour, they finally saw Ning Tian and the other two.
Under the night sky, a towering mountain appeared in front of them. Compared to the withered yellow on the ground, the mountain was clearly much greener. Under the night sky, leaves rustled and a cool breeze blew.
“That's the mountain!” the villagers shouted happily.
Ning Bai patted her son's shoulder and smiled at Ning Dalang and Third Brother Ning before starting to set up. “Send someone to find food now. If you really can't find it, continue looking for it tomorrow morning!”
