Chapter 131: Treating Refugees
Lin Jie and Ru Cheng galloped all the way, looking for survivors in various villages.
"Lord...... Are you sure there are no survivors here? ”
In a certain village, Ru Cheng asked Lin Jie next to him while searching.
During this time, they searched almost all the villages they could find, but they never found any survivors, not even a single survivor!
"No way, there should still be survivors." Lin Jie shook his head.
These villagers are flooded, they are all mortals, and the flood reaches the navel, which can be life-threatening. The same goes for their families, who will certainly be hiding in their homes to avoid the floods before the floods hit.
"How so?"
Ru Cheng frowned slightly: "It stands to reason that the families of these villagers should be around here, but why haven't they met any of them?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Jie was silent for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Is the Shark Gang nearby?" ”
"The Sharks!?"
Hearing Lin Jie's words, Ru Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reflected.
The Sharks are in the nearest fishing village, and it's only four or five villages away!
I heard that although the Shark Gang has the reputation of robbers, they are doing good things, and they have a good reputation in Qingyun Town!
"The Sharks are indeed around here, could it be that the Sharks rescued the refugees?
Ru Cheng guessed: "After all, there are many monks in the Shark Gang. ”
Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, we should go and investigate, it is not impossible for the Shark Gang to save people, after all, this place is not far from the Shark Gang." ”
After that, Lin Jie took the lead in rushing into the torrential rain.
"Alas!"
Seeing this, Ru Cheng smiled bitterly, and then rushed into the rainstorm!
........
The torrential rain was pouring down, the sky was dark, and the pouring rain covered a radius of thousands of meters, even in the torrential rain, Lin Jie could still clearly see the surrounding scene.
When they came to a village, they found a number of men in robes in small boats, on which stood refugees in tattered clothes, and three young men holding the boat, all of them looking calm and not panicking.
Seeing these men holding the boat, Lin Jie and Ru Cheng glanced at each other, they all knew that this should be the three monks in the foundation building period, they were all monks!
"Huh?"
One of the men in the boat seemed to be aware of their presence, looked up at them, and then looked surprised, as if he was a little puzzled as to why they were here.
However, he didn't ask anything, just glanced at them indifferently and then looked away, and continued to row the boat to find something.
"Looks like the Sharks."
Ru Cheng whispered to Lin Jie.
Lin Jie nodded and said, "Well, it's them, I didn't expect them to really appear!" ”
"It seems that our inference is correct, the Sharks did save the survivors of those villages." Ru Cheng nodded and said.
"Let's go, go over and ask for an understanding!"
Immediately, Lin Jie and Ru Cheng drifted towards the boat, and then came to the bow of the boat.
Lin Jie and Ru Cheng stopped at the bow of the boat, and Lin Jie stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall of the boat.
The three people on the boat looked at Ye Long and Ru Cheng!
"Who are the two?" The boatman asked, confused.
There were seven or eight people on the ship, all of them were foundation building monks, and there was no need to guess that these people should be the ones who rescued the survivors!
On the boat, the refugees were in shabby clothes and unkempt, and several of them had been soaked by the rain, some of them were lying on the ground in embarrassment, their bodies were trembling, their lips were dry and about to crack, and their mouths were bursting with **!
Lin Jie and Ru Cheng walked to the door of the cabin and saw the refugees lying on the ground, they were all ordinary people, they had not cultivated in their bodies, so their bodies were very weak, in this case, if they were in the storm, they would definitely die!
But the Shark Gang monks saved their lives, so they are very grateful to the Shark Gang, if they hadn't rescued them in time, I'm afraid they would have drowned here in the flood!
And these days they are struggling in the flood, and it is also very painful, they are very eager to drink saliva, they are very eager to eat, and they are eager to be able to rest!
"This Shark Gang is good." Lin Jie said with a smile.
They are not cold-blooded animals either, and when they see refugees in such misery, they naturally feel pity.
The eyes of the Shark Gang monks on the boat were fixed on Lin Jie and Ru Chen, they didn't know the two, but seeing that they were well-dressed, they had a sense of vigilance and defense in their hearts.
"Who is Your Excellency, and why are you here?" "
The boatman asked.
Lin Jie said straight to the point: "We are monks from Qingyun Town, and we came to rescue the refugees, but I didn't expect your sharks to help people very quickly." ""
It turned out to be a monk from Qingyun Town, and it is our duty to help sharks save people! The boatman replied.
In that case, we will not bother you, we take our leave! "
With that, Lin Jie and Ru Cheng turned around and rushed to the next village.
When the time came to the evening, Lin Jie and Ru Cheng came to a village again, they came to the outside of a courtyard, where many houses were washed away by the storm, leaving only some broken wooden stakes still standing alone outside the courtyard, which made people feel sad.
The rain finally became lighter, but it was still falling, and the sky was overcast, and the dark clouds pressed down on the moon, making the whole sky extremely gloomy.
Lin Jie looked at the sky and sighed: "Ru Cheng, let's escort the survivors to the Holy Cloud Sect first, the night is not conducive to action!" "
"Yes." Ru Cheng answered, and drove the boat in the direction where the survivors were.
Soon the boat was docked, and hundreds of refugees were waiting on the shore, all dressed in coarse linen clothes, their faces dirty, and some of them even soaked through their clothes.
Seeing Lin Jie and Ru Cheng appear on the shore, they rushed over one after another, and asked with some excitement: "Two immortals, where are we going?" "
Lin Jie looked at these hungry and cold refugees, his heart softened, and said, "Come with us, go to my Holy Cloud Sect to settle down first." "
Hearing this, hundreds of refugees suddenly showed ecstasy, and flew towards the boat where Lin Jie and Ru Cheng were, and Lin Jie and Ru Cheng did not hesitate to drive the boat forward.
A group of people soon came to the Holy Cloud Sect, looking at the majestic tall buildings and gates of the Holy Cloud Sect, they all showed expressions of awe, the scenery here was much more beautiful than Qingyun Town, and there were such magnificent buildings, they had never seen such a building, and they had never heard of such a building, so they were all very shocked.
Two immortals, are we going to live here temporarily? A middle-aged woman asked timidly.
Lin Jie looked at her and nodded, "Yes!" But don't worry, the rain will be gone in two days, and everyone will be able to go home. "
"Thank you so much, the immortals." The middle-aged woman was so excited that she quickly knelt on the ground.
Lin Jie hurriedly picked her up and said with a smile: "You get up quickly, you don't have to be polite, we will send you to the sect of the Holy Cloud Sect first, and then move out of here when you recover, how about it?" "
"Good, good!" The middle-aged woman was excited.
After entering the sect, Lin Jie led everyone to a courtyard, where there were some simple tables, chairs and benches, which were prepared by Lin Jie and Ru Cheng.
In the courtyard, there are some wounded people recuperating from their injuries, and these wounded are also very weak, so they can only stay in this courtyard, and when they are better, they will continue to hurry!
Their faces were full of exhaustion, and they all looked like they hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and the wounded were not in very good condition, they all looked tired.
Lin Jie checked them and found that their injuries were basically better, but they still needed to recuperate slowly!
"Yun Zhan, tell Elder Ziqiong to prepare dinner." Lin Jie said to Yun Zhan next to him.
"Master, the food in our sect is not very sufficient, this is a ...... for more than three hundred people" Yun Zhan frowned.
"It's okay, you guys try to do as much as you can! Survive tonight, tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk. Lin Jie said.
"Okay, my subordinates will do it immediately." Yun Zhan nodded and hurriedly ran out.
Outside the kitchen, Elder Ziqiong, Ji Qing, and Luo Yu had already set up the stove, and a pot of fragrant rice porridge was boiling in the pot, which they had just bought yesterday and had not yet started to stew.
Seeing Yun Zhan rushing over, Elder Ziqiong asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Yun Zhan, what's wrong?" "
"Elder Ziqiong, how much food is left in our sect?" Yun Zhan asked anxiously.
Elder Ziqiong shook his head and sighed: "It's only more than a hundred catties, and it is estimated that it won't last long tonight, alas, it's really sad!" "
Hearing that there were only more than 100 catties of food, Yun Zhan's face was full of worry, more than 100 catties of grain was enough for more than 3,000 people here to eat for a long time, and now that the food has been exhausted, what should these surviving refugees do?
He looked at the refugees outside the courtyard, and said in his heart, "Elder Ziqiong, the head of the sect means to spend tonight first, they have been hungry for several days now, and it has been raining heavily in the past few days, and the rain is so cold, if it goes on like this, they will get sick!" "
Hearing this, Elder Ziqiong, Ji Qing and the others were silent, the torrential rain in the past few days was like a nightmare for them.
"Hey, that's the only way, Yun Zhan, you quickly take out all the rice and serve everyone a bowl of rice!" Elder Ziqiong sighed.
"Got it!" Yun Zhan answered, and then ran to the kitchen to get a pile of rice and put it on the table, he put all the rice on a large plate and brought it out, and then brought the cauldron over.
When Lin Jie and Ru Cheng saw the scene here, their hearts trembled slightly.
Life was so difficult for these people, their clothes were all shabby, their skin was dry, their cheeks were sunken, they looked very pale, their hair was unkempt, and they looked like beggars!
These people are reduced to this situation because they have no money, and their families are very poor, which is why they are so afraid.
"Let's eat, let's go wash up after eating, change into clean clothes, and rest early!" Lin Jie said loudly.
"Thank you, immortals!" The crowd shouted in unison.
After eating, the people went to take a bath, some of the wounded went to their rooms, some to the courtyard, some to their own houses, and some to take care of the wounded refugees.
After a quarter of an hour, the people gathered up and walked out of the courtyard and sat in the middle of the courtyard.
"Thank you to the immortals for saving their lives, we can survive this time because of the help of the immortals." Everyone stood up together and thanked Lin Jie.
"It's just a gesture, you're welcome." Lin Jie waved his hand.
"Yun Zhan, go find clothes and quilts for you!" Lin Jie said to Yun Zhan.
"Yes!"
Soon, Yun Zhan found several new sets of clothes and bedding for the refugees.
"Thank you, immortals!" Everyone hurriedly thanked them.
Although these refugees are very poor, they all have a conscience, not only are they not happy because Lin Jie saved themselves, but they are very grateful to Dade.
There were a lot of empty rooms in the Holy Cloud Sect, so Lin Jie directly let them live in the empty room next door to his house, so that it would be convenient for them to take care of each other. Lin Jie asked everyone to rest, and he also went back to his room to cultivate.
Early the next morning, Lin Jie woke up from his cultivation, got out of bed and got dressed, and came to the courtyard outside, there were more than a dozen refugees in the courtyard, and when they saw Lin Jie, they all immediately saluted Lin Jie respectfully.
Lin Jie waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to be polite, go back and rest, today's task is to take care of everyone's safety, I hope you don't leave here for half a step, otherwise I can't guarantee whether you can still stand in front of me safe and sound, I hope you can all live, understand?" "
All the refugees nodded their heads, they were all used to the life of fleeing, and now that they could finally rest, they would naturally not run away again.
The biggest problem now is to solve their food problem first. Now they can only drink gruel every day, and although they can barely fill their stomachs, they can't last long.
So he was going to go down the mountain to collect food and then give them nutrition. Looking at the situation of this group of people, Lin Jie couldn't help sighing, their lives are indeed very difficult, no wonder there is such a situation, if it weren't for the storage rings on their bodies, those refugees would have died long ago.
It seems that these people will not be able to return home, so they can only live here temporarily.
"Let's stay in the sect for the time being." Lin Jie said to the refugees.
For now, that's the only way.
Hearing Lin Jie's words, the refugees were pleasantly surprised, although this place was unfamiliar, it was also a safe haven after all, at least it would not encounter floods.
