o, and they were slowly losing ground.He grew more and more agitated, miscalculating a move and being struck in the back by Liu Biao's sword.Although he dodged most of the force, his clothes were stil...Zhang Shenyi, standing aside, also quietly let out a sigh of relief.

People who commit suicide, especially those who are determined not to live.

Saving someone is the easiest step; convincing someone who wants to die to want to live again is the hardest.

Now it seems, the three old men are fine, so it wasn't all in vain.

He quickly ordered Tao Hongying and the others, "Cook some rice porridge, something easy to swallow. Let the three of them have a little first to fill their stomachs. When their bellies are full, they won't think about it anymore."

Tao Hongying brought a few women over quickly, took out the glutinous rice for the babies, added water and started cooking it.

Master Zhang handed Li Laosi half a bottle of ointment, "Apply this twice a day on their necks to reduce the swelling quickly. But it's best not to go out today, they need some rest."

Everyone nodded quickly and then carefully carried the elderly men to a mat in the center of the camp.

The village head and the other three old men let out a sigh of relief, their legs went weak, and they were helped to sit down next to Zhao Shu and the others.

Without the elders to lead, the young and middle-aged men of the village gathered together for the first time to discuss taking turns caring for Zhao Shu's three mountain-crossing journeys.

Growth always begins with falling from one's support!

In daily life, elders usually make decisions. They just need to follow and do their work obediently.

Now that Zhao Shu's three suicides have taken place, everyone realizes that the elderly are just ordinary people, and perhaps even more vulnerable than themselves.

At this moment, all the men strained to straighten their backs, sheltering their families from the wind and rain.

On the left, they were going to rest here for a day. Li Laosan brought a few people and made several sleds really well.

Larger and sturdier than previous simple crawlers.

After being roasted by fire, the wood curved, making it easier to pull and save energy.

More than just a few elderly gentlemen could sit comfortably, and there was room for several children or some luggage crates as well.

And several old men, sipping their congee, silently watched all this, tears dropping into their bowls, a mixture of joy and contentment.

Dr. Zhang sat on the side, his eyes wide with envy.

"You guys are really living a good life without realizing it. You have such great grandchildren, you should be fighting to live longer! Why would you hang yourself If I had your luck, I wouldn't be wandering around like this."

The village head was close with the Li family and knew quite a bit about Zhang, the Divine Healer. Seeing him swiftly bring his old comrades back, he had even more respect for him.

At this point, he spoke up to keep the divine physician, "Why don't you stay in our village for a while longer, and rest here"

The divine doctor Zhang waved his hand, "Let's talk about it later."

Having said that, he looked at the busy Li family with a bitter expression.

Along the way, he still hadn't found out who Li Family's hidden master was. Could it be that Young Master Ye is truly incurable

Jia Yin sat among the old men, holding a wooden carved little horse in her hand. She patted it this way and that, trying to comfort the elderly gentlemen.

I have no idea Dr. Zhang is secretly trying to get me out…

Now that everyone is happy and settled, even the young boys don't go out to play anymore; they all gather around the elder gentlemen.

This was the family's mission for them, watching over the old men, not letting them have any more time alone...

This day, amidst everyone's busyness, passed by especially quickly.

Uncle Zhao ate and slept, slept and ate. He also applied medicine to his neck, and his complexion quickly improved.

When they sleep at night, their snores are deafening.

It seemed like he had let go of his worries, and slept soundly.

Young and old alike, listening to the snore, all let out a long sigh of relief.

As humans, we cannot be emotionless.

Although we didn't interact much before, after the Li family moved in, we started eating and drinking together, fetching water together, patrolling the fields together, and even fleeing the famine together.

The old men were always busy, collecting firewood to boil water, taking care of the children, and keeping watch at night.

They had long been an integral part of the group.

No matter what difficulties arise, it feels like having elders around gives you a sense of security and makes the challenges seem less daunting.

Because this home has both the young and the old, it is complete.

If the elders are gone, everyone's heart feels like something is missing.

And because this piece is missing, their unshakeable sense of security will collapse...

Before dawn on the second day, everyone got busy preparing.

The elders didn't wait for them to wake up, breakfast was already ready, and the hot water had been boiled.

The horses and donkeys were fed, and their baggage was strapped onto the sled.

The elderly were a little uncomfortable, sitting by the fire eating. Some of them seemed at a loss what to do with their hands.

Jia Yin held a bowl, walking clumsily to the side and trying hard to share her salted egg yolk with several elderly gentlemen.

"Eat, grandpa eat."

The old men could no longer hold back their tears, and they streamed down their faces.

The village head also wiped his eyes and scolded, "Useless old things, letting a child worry for you, what's this all about!"

Uncle Zhao wiped a few tears, glared fiercely at him, gobbled down the egg yolk, drank the congee, then stood up briskly.

"You're such a coward! Back then, in the woods, who was it that got bitten by a snake and cried like hell Who carried you out"

"That's it, now we have one more leg than them. What's there to be proud of"

Once you enter the forest, it's our territory. Don't expect your brothers to look after you anymore!

Three old men spoke in hoarse voices, but their spines were straight.

Everyone found it rare to see the village chief eat dirt, and they all laughed out loud.

Zhao Shu and a few others went to thank Zhang Shenyi, then discussed that before going into the mountains, they should first collect medicine.

At the very least, you have to make the medicine from the snake that repels insects. Otherwise, even if you're relatively close to the mountains, once you venture deeper into the forest, you won't need to worry about tigers or packs of wolves; just mosquitoes and other insects will drive you crazy.

Of course, Zhang the divine physician agreed. Thinking that there weren't many people in the village who understood medicine, he proposed choosing two spiritually perceptive young boys to learn together.

The villagers were naturally delighted and began to chatter excitedly.

After everyone had finished their meal, Uncle Zhao showed them how to tie up the trousers and sleeves of their ragged clothes with strips of cloth. This made walking easier and prevented insects from crawling inside.

The little children were bundled up as warmly as possible, and even the bigger kids were warned not to wander off.

All actions should be carried out under the direction of an adult, including even going to the bathroom. Always inform an adult and go with a companion.

Thus, everyone was filled with high spirits. Old and young were united as one, eager to carve through hundreds of miles of mountains at once.

Everything was put in order, and everyone stood silently before the towering mountain, lost in contemplation.

The village head took a deep breath, raised his fist, and shouted loudly.

“Set out, traverse the hundred-mile mountains, and carve a path to life!”

"Let's go, let's go!" Young and old alike clenched their fists, vowing to fight like warriors, shouting loudly to bolster their courage and declare their defiance against fate!

As soon as everyone took a step, before their feet even touched the ground, they suddenly heard someone crying out.

"Village chief, wait for us! And we, too, ohhh, take us with you!"

Everyone was stunned, their mouths agape, as a stumbling group of people approached. Their eyes were filled with disgust and anger!ewing basket and saw the village head's back from afar.
