Chapter 315: Taking the Women Up the Mountain
"Hurry up and get up! Is there anyone else at home? Do you want me to rescue them?"
Lin Xi asked the women and girls to stand up, looked at them and asked gently.
So far, she has only saved women. What about the men in that mountain village?
"Except for my old lady, everyone else in the family was killed by those Jin soldiers who were worse than pigs and dogs!"
"My daughter and I are the only ones left alive in my family. The rest are dead!"
"My mother-in-law and I are the only ones left in my family!"
......
The women spoke one after another. Thinking of the tragic deaths of their loved ones, they clenched their teeth and stared fiercely at the corpses of the Jin soldiers on the ground, wishing they could eat their flesh and drink their blood!
"In that case, you will all follow me to Kanto Prefecture from now on! We are going to stay in the mountains temporarily and can only go back after a while! Grab your things and follow me!"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he walked up the mountain.
After walking a few steps, I saw that the crowd did not catch up, but stood there, holding the old ladies and sobbing goodbye.
"Mom, how about we ask our benefactor to let you go with us? Otherwise, how are you going to survive at your age?"
"Don't cause trouble to your benefactor. Please leave immediately. I am very grateful to be alive now!"
"Grandma, your granddaughter can't bear to leave you!"
......
Seeing this, Lin Xi turned around and walked back, saying to them: "Didn't I just tell you to go to Guandong Prefecture with me? Why do you grandmas have other ideas?"
"My benefactor, do you mean that we old ladies can follow you?"
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Xinghua's grandmother looked at her with surprise and asked.
"Of course you can. These are the only relatives you have left. How can I let you separate? Well, we can't stay here for long. Come with me up the mountain!"
Lin Xi looked at them and nodded and smiled gently.
When everyone heard Lin Xi's affirmative answer, they breathed a sigh of relief, supported each other, and followed Lin Xi closely, carrying the food, clothes, blankets and other items they had searched from the Jin soldiers' tents.
"Master, should I show up? Or should I go back to Jiezhu? I have already dealt with the bodies of those Jin soldiers!"
Xiaobai saw Lin Xi leading a group of women towards the mountains, so he hid in a tree and asked Lin Xi for his opinion.
"Xiaobai, go and deal with the bodies of the Jin soldiers I just killed, then quietly follow us and remove all traces. Don't let anyone find our tracks and the cave where we are hiding!"
Lin Xi glanced at the big tree where Xiaobai was hiding, and spoke to Xiaobai in his heart.
"Yes, Master!"
Xiaobai agreed, whooshed out from the tree and flew into the military camp.
It was moving so fast that the people following Lin Xi didn't notice any movement at all.
After walking for about half an hour, Lin Xi heard the panting coming from behind getting heavier. She stopped, turned around and looked at them and said, "Take a break. Your bodies are too weak. It's great that you can climb for so long in one breath. I hid something nearby. You wait here and I'll get it!"
When the women heard that they could finally take a break, they sat down on the ground, nodded at Lin Xi with pale faces, and were too tired to even say the words.
Since they were captured by the Jin soldiers, they have been forced to work and be beaten every day. The girls and women have to endure the bullying of the Jin soldiers. They are already weak, and the Jin soldiers do not give them enough food. They can only eat half full every day, so they have no strength to travel.
The reason I have been able to follow Lin Xi and persist until now is all due to my willpower!
Lin Xi's eyes flashed across their toe-exposed shoes, then swept into the depths of the forest, and disappeared in a moment.
"Xinghua, you think our benefactor won't abandon us and go away on his own, right?"
A chubby little girl sat next to Xinghua. After catching her breath, she looked at the quiet forest around her and leaned against Xinghua with a face full of fear. She was very worried that Lin Xi would leave these burdens here.
"Fat girl, no, if our benefactor didn't want to take us with her, she wouldn't have agreed to let us follow her in the first place!"
Xinghua looked in the direction where Lin Xi disappeared, her eyes full of determination.
When Pang Ya heard what Xinghua said, she thought about it and felt relieved. She relaxed and rubbed her sore legs with her little hands.
After walking for such a long time, her legs felt like they were not her own and were extremely heavy!
The women took off the bags on their shoulders, took out the water bags and steamed buns and distributed them to everyone, asking everyone to drink some water and eat something to regain their strength as they would continue climbing the mountain soon.
Everyone was already starving, and each of them took a big white steamed bun and started to eat it ravenously. After eating a steamed bun, their stomachs immediately felt much better.
"My benefactor said he would take us back to Guandong Prefecture. Aren't there no Jin soldiers there? How can we seek revenge on them?"
An older girl clenched her hands and muttered to herself, as she recalled the scene of her father and brothers being beheaded by the Jin soldiers.
"My benefactor said that he would stay here for a while before returning to Guandong Prefecture. He should teach us skills during this time to kill the Jin soldiers and take revenge!"
When Xinghua's mother heard what the girl said, she thought for a moment and spoke.
"I think so!"
"I feel like my benefactor means the same thing!"
"I just wonder if we can learn everything our benefactor has taught us?"
"As long as we are willing to endure hardships, we will definitely be able to learn it. After learning the skills of the benefactor, I also want to break the necks of those beasts like the benefactor!"
......
When Lin Xi came back carrying a large backpack and a big bundle, he heard their whispers.
She put the bag on a big rock nearby, untied it, and said to everyone, "Each of you pick a pair of suitable shoes and change your shoes!"
Lin Xi bought these shoes and put them in the boundary bead when he was putting reserve supplies in it. He didn't expect to use them today.
Xinghua Niang, who was closest to the bag, picked up a pair of shoes and looked at them. She said to Lin Xi reluctantly, "My benefactor, these are all new shoes. It would be a waste to wear them when climbing a mountain. How about we just wear old shoes?"
"Feet are more important than shoes. Look at your feet, they are bleeding. Change them quickly. Otherwise, if you crawl with me in the shoes you have on, your feet will be rotten. You won't even be able to walk. How can you learn skills from me or do things?"
Lin Xi looked at the others and saw that they also had distressed expressions on their faces, so he spoke.
After hearing what Lin Xi said, Xinghua touched her mother's arm and said, "Mom, the benefactor is right, let's change quickly and don't waste time!"
So, the women each picked a pair of suitable shoes according to the size of their feet, picked some big leaves from the nearby woods, wiped their feet clean and put on new shoes, then wrapped the old shoes with some big leaves and put them in their bags. Although the shoes were a little torn, they could be repaired and worn again when they were convenient in the future.
