Chapter 176: We Have No Choice

Listening to the old woman’s question, A Lu Da thought for a while and said, "I have no right to decide this matter, but I will tell you later after asking our Chieftain. But you can use a brazier to boil water or cook a simple meal at home."

The refugees looked at each other for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Seeing that they had no problem with the village’s rules, A Lu Da said, "Let’s go. I will send you back to the residential area to rest."

Before they had walked far, one of the elderly people suddenly exclaimed: "What kind of smell is this? It smells so fragrant!"

As soon as his words came out, the other elderly people also sniffed the air. When they smelled the incomparably alluring aroma, they couldn’t help swallowing. Having not eaten for two days, these old people are already very hungry. Accompanied by the appetizing aroma, their stomachs rumbled loudly.

When A Lu Da turned around, he saw that they were covering their stomachs in embarrassment. He thought for a while and said, "Please wait here for a while."

After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen. The elderly people looked at his straight back, and then looked at each other in silence.

One of the old men sighed helplessly, and said, "We really shouldn’t have taken advantage of these kind-hearted people."

One of the old men looked at their village chief and said, "Old Yu, I know it is wrong to take advantage of these people, but we have no choice. Besides, we have to save the women and children. Even if we have to beg these people, we still need to beg them to save the wounded. Without them, we old bones can’t fight those bandits. Then what about the children and women? Is it possible for us to watch them being caught by bandits and do nothing?"

An old woman nodded and said, "Yu San is right. We must not give up on saving those women and children. They are also villagers from our village, and our descendants. In any case, we must save them from the bandits no matter what."

The old man called Old Yu looked at the others and said, "It goes without saying. Don’t worry, I know what is important."

As soon as he finished speaking, A Lu Da walked out of the kitchen building. He was carrying a small basket in his hand and a small wooden barrel on his shoulder, as he walked towards them.

Seeing them looking at him, A Lu Da said, "Let’s go. I will take you back to the residential area."

After saying this, he walked towards the residential area followed by those old people. Because they walked faster, they arrived at the residential area in a few minutes. Standing in front of the house, A Lu Da put the wooden barrel on the ground.

He then handed the basket to Old Yu and said, "I went to the kitchen to get some steamed meat buns and water just now. You can eat it first to cushion your stomach."

After listening to his words, the old people were very grateful to him. Some of them even shed tears secretly.

A Lu Da was a little embarrassed under their grateful gazes, and quickly said, "I will go find a physician for those injured men. If you need anything, you can just find someone to help you."

Leaving those words, he quickly left to find a physician from the Yishi tribe. After they couldn’t see A Lu Da anymore, Old Yu looked at the others and said, "Let’s go in and share the food and water with the others."

Hearing his words, the other five elderly people nodded. Two old men then went to carry the barrels into the house. Inside the house, two injured men lay on the floor covered with soft animal rugs. One of the injured men opened his eyes when the six elderly people walked into the house.

Seeing that his grandson had opened his eyes, Old Yu quickly put the basket on the ground and stepped forward to check on him. He touched his grandson’s hand and asked, "Sangou, are you feeling better?"

Yu Sangou nodded slightly, and patted his grandfather’s hand weakly. He looked at the small wooden barrel and small basket put on the floor not far from the door, opened his pale lips, and asked hoarsely: "Grandpa, where are we? What did you bring back?"

Yu Daniu looked at his grandson and said, "You just woke up and don’t know yet. We are in a village farthest from Lin Zi City. Fortunately, the villagers were very kind to let us stay for a few days and gave us food and water. They even went to invite a physician to check on you and the others."

Before Yu Sangou could ask further questions, an old man named Yu San came with two meat buns and a bowl of warm water. He handed Yu Daniu the bowl of water and said, "Old Yu, feed him some water first."

Yu Daniu nodded, helped his grandson to sit up, took the bowl of water from Yu San, and fed Yu Sangou some water. After drinking a few sips of water to moisten his throat, Yu Sangou looked at the two steaming big meat buns in Yu San’s hands.

Yu San saw that he was looking at the meat buns, so he handed him one meat bun and the other one to Yu Daniu, and said, "That young man gave us enough meat buns and water for everyone. Eat it quickly before it cools down."

After finishing speaking, Yu San went to distribute meat buns and water to others. After all the people in the first floor got their share, he went to the second floor to distribute the meat buns.

Seeing that everyone was eating, Yu Sangou took a bite of the big meat bun. As soon as he bites down, the meaty aroma and delicious juice spreads in his mouth. Suddenly, his hunger was out of control.
