Chapter 86
No matter how difficult it is, we must help
Several of them were helping in a war-torn country this time, and they didn't know if they could return alive. From the moment they decided to stay and help, they each sent an email. When they really couldn't go back, the email would be automatically sent to their families.
We kept walking eastward for a day, but we never saw the so-called village. The shells still continued to bombard us. There were only about a thousand people left out of the original two thousand people. We watched along the way.
We are separated from our loved ones, and the heart-piercing pain is really uncomfortable.
Wenlang also rushed back from outside. As soon as he came back, he took everyone to take a shortcut, passed through the city that had been abandoned by the bombs, crossed the river, and walked for a long time. No one dared to complain. They all knew that this was
Fleeing instead of traveling.
Around evening, we arrived at the village Wenlang mentioned. It was relatively backward and everyone wore simple clothes. Facing the invasion of outsiders, they were initially wary. Wenlang asked Pu Li to briefly communicate with them before everyone felt relieved.
Come down.
He warmly greeted everyone and arranged the fleeing people on the hill behind the village. It could accommodate a thousand people. Although it would be crowded, everyone sat and slept on the ground. The villagers found some food for everyone.
The locals were chatting in the local dialect, crying and laughing. Wu Junle and the others didn't know what they were talking about.
After everyone had stabilized, a few of them went to the entrance of the village, fearing that something else would get in on them during the migration.
"Our mission has been delayed for three days." Gu Yong said while sitting on the ground.
"There is no way." Shi Shifeng said.
"It seems that I will be criticized when I go back." Meng Jiahang said.
"What are you afraid of? We have Wenlang above us," Gu Yong said with a smile.
"A few heartless people." Wen Lang was smoking next to him.
Except for the chatter of a few of them, the surroundings were silent. "I haven't been in such an environment for a long time." Shi Shifeng said.
"Yeah, it would be better if there wasn't that smell of smoke." Ming Ge deliberately told Wen Lang to listen.
"You are the only one who has a lot to do." Wenlang threw the remaining cigarette on the ground and stomped on the flames to put out the flames.
"I don't know what will happen tomorrow." Wu Jun looked at the sky happily, where he could still see stars filling the entire night sky.
"If it weren't for the war, how beautiful this place would be." Meng Jiahang lamented.
"We take turns to be on duty. Let's all take a break. We have worked hard these days." After Wenlang finished speaking, he found a place to sit down and closed his eyes. After a while, he heard a faint snore.
"It seems he is the most tired." Mingo said with a smile.
"Jun Le and I are on duty first, you all should go to sleep." Gu Yong said.
Then everyone randomly found a place to sit down, closed their eyes and rested.
Even if you can't sleep, it's okay to close your eyes and take a rest. After all, you don't know what will happen tomorrow, so everyone must always be vigilant.
"Are you tired? Why don't you go and have a rest." Gu Yong was worried that Wu Junle was still a child and his body would be overwhelmed.
"I'm fine, I'm still in good spirits." Wu Jun said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Yong said, placing his hand on his head and caressing him gently, "Your parents should be very proud to have a son like you."
"Not at all." Wu Junle spends very little time communicating with his parents. They don't know what they think and what he thinks. "My parents only know how to make money."
"They also want to make your life better." Gu Yong said: "Parents all want their children to live a good life."
"Really?" Wu Junle said nothing more and sat there quietly.
Two hours later, Ming Ge and Meng Jiahang also came to change shifts.
In this way, they spent the night safely.
Near six o'clock in the morning, the village suddenly became noisy, which caught their attention, and they all went in to see what was going on.
It turned out that someone on the top of the hill had just seen a cannonball landing not far away, which was why there was a commotion.
"Damn, even these places are not spared." Gu Yong said angrily.
"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer," Wen Lang said.
Before they left, the village chief asked six young men in the village to take them out of the village by a shortcut.
They walked down the path deep in the mountains, which was different from the way they came.
After passing through the mountain path, they came to the back of the mountain. It was an abandoned city, but there were still people living here. Six young men visited the abandoned city with them. The people who still lived here relied on the help they had built.
Living in a simple tent, the environment is very harsh.
Wenlang asked Pu Li to call a few young men back, for fear that they would get into other troubles. After they said their final goodbyes, the six young men returned the same way.
"Where are we now?" Mingo asked.
"Pule, go over there and ask the locals." Wen Lang said.
"Oh." Pu Li ran over. It seemed that the situation was not particularly good. Seeing that Pu Li was not communicating well with them, they also went over to take a look.
"This used to be an annex to the imperial city, but now it's in ruins, and they don't know how to leave here." Pu Li repeated what they just said to everyone.
"Are they safe here?" Wu Junle asked.
"This place is safe for the time being. Artillery shells have not hit here for three days," Pu Li said.
"It seems that they feel that this place has been captured and there is no need to launch another attack here." Wen Lang said.
"Today they organized the remaining people to move down the tiles and bricks from the tower and build a house, and asked us if we could help." Pu Li pointed to a dilapidated tower not far away and said.
"Of course." Wenlang replied, "Tell them about it."
Pu Li walked over and talked with them, then came back and said, "They said they couldn't give us high returns."
"It's free, no money is required, and no reward is required." Wen Lang said cheerfully.
"I've already told them," Pu Li said.
"They asked us if we were going to eat, and they just put them on the ground," Pu Li said.
"We have eaten, have they eaten enough?" Mingo asked with concern.
"It should be fine." Pu Li said.
"That's no need, let's go find something to eat by ourselves," Wen Lang said.
"Okay." Pu Li went over to them again and said.
This time he came over with a few naan in his hand, "They forcefully stuffed them, eat them."
Several people each took a naan and expressed their gratitude to the people sitting there. Shi Shifeng said: "This cake can last for a day."
After everyone rested for a while, they followed the locals to the city tower. It looked fine from a distance, but when we walked in, we saw that it might collapse at any time. "Puli, tell them to pay attention to safety. If anything goes wrong, go to the city tower."
You have to leave." Wenlang reminded.
"Yeah." Pu Li then said to them.
They moved all the good tiles and bricks to the open space next to them and stacked them up. Unexpectedly, although the cannonball collapsed the tower, the tiles and bricks were basically intact.
They were working under the bright sun, and their clothes were wet with sweat, as if they had just been fished out of the water. Some women came over with two buckets of water and gave them water to drink. The water quality was not particularly clean, and there were some impurities in it.
Up there, the locals don't care at all.
Seeing that they were drinking with gusto, Wu Junle and others also drank together. Although the taste was weird, it could still quench their thirst.
"If they drink this water for a long time, they will have physical problems sooner or later." Shi Shifeng worried.
"It's better than not drinking at all," Mingo said. "A lot of times you don't get to choose your own living environment, just like they do."
"It's so difficult." Wenlang sighed, then got up and continued to move bricks.
Moving from morning to evening, everyone finally stopped to rest. Less than a third of the collapsed tiles and bricks were moved. They were all moved by hand. It was a big project.
The locals gave them some more naan. They would be full after eating naan for one day. A mouthful of water and a mouthful of naan would keep them full until tomorrow.
"When are we going back?" Mingo asked.
"Still contacting local organizations." Wen Lang said.
"It shouldn't be difficult to find here, right?" Meng Jiahang said.
"It should be easy to find the annexed city of the Imperial City, it just depends on whether you are willing to come or not." Shi Shifeng said.
"Wait a little longer," Wen Lang said.
"You must have spent these days eating naan," Ming Ge said helplessly.
"You can't even stuff your mouth with food." Shi Shifeng said with a smile.
In this kind of environment, only simple washing can be done, and the smell of sweat on the body still remains. Several people are not used to the smell, and they always dislike each other.
