Chapter 294 Nothing Left
Once Gu Wu got the bowl, he knew what he should do. He quickly ran out and came back with a bowl full of clean snow.
The dilapidated temple didn't have much in it, but it had plenty of wood and straw. Since there were so many people there, they lit them up and used them to keep warm.
Lin Bao wanted to bring his horses in because it was too cold outside. If Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong were to freeze outside all night, they definitely wouldn't be able to stand it the next day.
Lin Long stopped the man and told him to take the two horses and find another place to rest. Although Lin Bao didn't know why, he did as he was told.
But just then, Xiao Hei suddenly barked, and the people inside the dilapidated temple heard the sound and their eyes lit up.
One of them exclaimed excitedly, "Did you hear that? Did you all hear that? I heard horses neighing! There must be horses around here, there must be horses..."
"Brother Dong, are you sure you didn't hear wrong? There's no horse neighing at all. Are you starving?"
“I didn’t hear wrong, I didn’t hear wrong, you know my ears are the best, how could I possibly mishear? I heard the sound of horses neighing, and it was right outside…”
"That horse is very close to us, it should be not far outside. Why don't we go out and take a look and catch it?"
"Brother Dong, are you kidding me? It's so cold outside, you want us to go out? Aren't you trying to freeze us to death?"
Upon hearing this, one of them suddenly realized what was going on, and looked at Dong Ge: "Oh~ I know, you just wanted to trick us into going out, to let us freeze to death, and then..."
His voice stopped before he could finish speaking, and then he turned to look at the people of Gujia Village, as if it was because of their presence that he could not continue speaking.
Dong Ge understood what he meant and then said, "What are you saying? How could I do that? I just wanted to bring the horse over."
After hearing what they said, no one in Gujia Village spoke. One of the children, upon hearing that they were going out to catch a horse, immediately stood up and said in a clear voice.
"You can't catch Little Red and Little Black, they belong to Uncle Three... mmm..." Before the child could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by his own adult.
Is it possible to say this?
Is it okay to say this?
This silly child doesn't understand the principle of not flaunting wealth. If the people inside knew they had two horses, a wolf, and an eagle, they would surely rob them all.
Although the people of Gujia Village are not afraid of fighting, they outnumber each other, and if anyone gets injured in a fight, they might as well just wait to die.
The child didn't finish his sentence, but what he said earlier caught Dong Ge's attention.
Dong Ge turned to look at them: "Are you all from the same village? What was that kid saying just now? Can you let him finish?"
"Yes, we're from the same village. That kid is talking nonsense, you don't need to pay him any mind."
"Brother, which village are you from? How many days have you been here? It must have been quite an achievement for so many of you to get here!"
Gu Wen stepped forward and started chatting with Dong Ge. It turned out that Dong Ge and his group were from the same village, but they had long since run out of food.
Later, due to a snow disaster, every household lacked even the smallest means of warmth, so they abandoned their homes and left.
"It's not just difficult! We've been stopping and starting along the way, and there aren't many people left!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Wen paused. He glanced at the people behind him. Because of the firelight, he could still see some people, but he couldn't make out how many there were.
After exchanging pleasantries with the people for a while, Gu Wen returned to the village chief's side, but his eyes remained fixed on the people opposite him.
He noticed a problem: he had just seen a few people by the light of the fire, but apart from middle-aged people, he didn't see a single young person or child.
Moreover, those middle-aged people were not in good condition; they looked as if they hadn't eaten for several years.
He talked to that person for so long, but the people behind him didn't move an inch. That was really strange.
Lin Cai also noticed something was wrong. Besides that, she also noticed that the people over there were all staring at them, their eyes fixed on them without ever looking away.
She told Lin's mother that she was going out for a while, and then asked Huani and the others to take good care of themselves and not to be alone.
After giving her instructions, Lin Cai wrapped her clothes tighter around herself and walked outside.
As soon as she left, someone secretly ran out from the back, and Lin Cai went to the right after she left.
I walked over and leaned against the wall, and then I heard footsteps.
The person who sneaked out didn't expect to see Lin Cai here. He was stunned when he saw her.
"you you you you……"
"Trying to explain how I got here?"
The man nodded.
"Then how come you're here?"
The person did not speak.
"You followed me out. Did you come out looking for me?"
The man immediately retorted, "No, no, I didn't come out to find you. I didn't follow you out. You can't wrong me like this."
"I didn't say you came out with me. I only asked if you came out to find me. Kid, why did you confess without asking?"
Looking at the person not far away, Lin Cai couldn't help but sigh, "This really is just a child!"
Not far away, there was a child who was short and thin, looking like a short tree stump standing there.
If he couldn't talk and move, Lin Cai would really think he was just a short tree stump.
"I'm thirteen this year, I'm not a child anymore, and I can get married next year."
After hearing what Lin Cai said, the child shouted it out. After shouting it out, he lowered his head and said, "But it's not possible now. I have no home, and no wife wants to be with me!"
Lin Cai's lips twitched when she heard this. She thought it was something serious, but it turned out that this was what the child was thinking about.
"You're not even grown up yet, what kind of wife do you want? Besides, do you have money? Can you afford the dowry?"
The child shook his head and lowered his head even further. He had nothing, so he definitely wouldn't be able to get a wife!
Seeing his appearance, Lin Cai walked over, but after taking only two steps, the child suddenly raised his head and took two steps back in fright.
Lin Cai didn't understand what he was doing and wanted to continue walking, when she heard something.
