Chapter 440: Sleepless Night
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Lady Qin, are you leaving?
Uncle Mi was now the village chief elected by everyone, so he was the one who came out to communicate with MO Ruyue and Gu Ying almost every time. “Yes, we’re leaving tomorrow morning. We’ve been here for too long. It’s time to go.”
MO Ruyue said straightforwardly without trying to find any reason or excuse for herself.
Even though the survivors had already mentally prepared themselves for this day, they still couldn’t help but panic and feel dejected when it really came.
However, no one tried to persuade her to stay. Even the children in the village knew that Lady Qin’s babies were still waiting for her to reunite.
They couldn’t force her to stay by their side because of their selfishness.
Everything that MO Ruyue had done for them was far beyond what a stranger could do.
Even their relatives might not be able to do this. They really should not be greedy for more.
“Alright, Lady Qin, you and Young Master Ying have already done too much for us. Let alone this life, even if we have to do anything for you in the next life, we are willing to do it!”
Uncle Mi’s words came from the bottom of his heart and represented the thoughts of all the survivors.
After spending so much time with each other, they had become like a family.
Everyone knew that the only way to survive in this chaotic world was to stick together and help each other.
The woman who was so selfish that she pushed them to the disaster victims and brought them death had become the most painful lesson engraved in their memories.
“That’s right, Lady Qin. We are deeply grateful to you and Young Master Ying.
If we have the chance to meet again in this life, we will definitely do our best to repay your kindness!”
“Lady Qin, we will set up a ranking for you and Young Master Ying. In the future, we will burn three incense sticks every day, and there will be endless incense offerings every day. We will pray to Bodhisattva and Buddha to bless you two with a long life and peace.”
“Lady Qin, everything we have now is bestowed by you and Young Master Ying. We will never forget this great kindness. Even if we need to repay it with our lives in the future, we will definitely not blink!”
Everyone spoke one after another, expressing their gratitude to MO Ruyue and the other, promising that they would repay their kindness in the future.
Everyone did not know how to express themselves. They even wanted to dig out their hearts and show them to their two benefactors.
“I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but there’s no need to say anything about repaying my kindness.”
MO Ruyue raised her hand and gestured for them to stop and listen to her.
“I didn’t come here to ask you to repay my kindness. It’s just that we used to live in the same county, so I took extra care of you.”
“Even if I encounter other survivors, I will still save them if I can. After all, natural disasters are heartless.”
After she said this, she was stunned for a moment.
Saving people was not something a top-notch assassin would do. The words “natural disasters are heartless, but people are affectionate” could not come out of an assassin’s mouth.
She was getting further and further away from her previous life, so far away that she had gradually forgotten the habits that had been engraved into her bones.
“I’ve been waiting here today to tell everyone this news. After all, we’ve been together for so long. It can be said that we’ve gone through life and death together. Our relationship is different from before.”
“What I want to leave you with the most now is not to set up a memorial tablet for me, but to help each other through the difficulties from now on. That’s enough.”
After MO Ruyue finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to have repeated herself. She turned to Deng Feng and said to everyone, “There’s something else I want to tell everyone. Big Brother Deng will be leaving with me tomorrow.”
The survivors seemed to have already guessed this. After MO Ruyue’s announcement, they did not show any surprise.
“Deng Feng is a good person. He is capable, has a good character, and is passionate and forthright. It is his fortune to be able to follow Lady Qin.” Uncle Mi said emotionally. Then, he turned to Deng Feng and reminded him,
“Deng Feng, in the future, you will take our place and follow Madam Qin and Young Master Ying well.”
“It’s as if we can also follow the two benefactors. As long as we think of this, we can feel a little more at ease.”
“Uncle Mi, don’t worry about this. I will definitely follow the two benefactors well. After I leave, you must be careful. Don’t be like before the natural disaster, leaving this place casually and trusting others easily.”
“Benefactor has already done his best to prepare such a safe place for you. Compared to the disaster victims who are still wandering outside, every one of us who is lucky enough to meet benefactor is already very lucky.”
“Don’t let our benefactor’s good intentions go to waste. Let’s all work hard and live on!”
These few sentences showed Deng Feng’s standard.
He was not a vulgar country bumpkin. Instead) he was a meticulous and talented person.
MO Ruyue’s eyes were sharp. She had chosen him to be her and Gu Ying’s trusted aide at first glance. Moreover, she dared to swear on her head that Deng Feng would never betray them.
After the news was delivered, the survivors dispersed in twos and threes.
After learning that MO Ruyue and Gu Ying were leaving, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for all the survivors.
The next morning, MO Ruyue got up.
She and Gu Ying brought nothing but two horses and a carriage.
They did not even bring the food and herbs from the village. They were only going to take Deng Feng away.
After hearing the commotion, the lights in the village lit up one by one. Soon, all the survivors gathered outside MO Ruyue’s small courtyard.
Uncle Mi was holding a bag full of food and herbs. When he saw MO Ruyue come out, he immediately went up to her and stuffed the bag into her hands.
“Lady Qin, you and Young Master Ying still have a long way to go, how can you not bring any rations and herbs? You must accept this. Otherwise, how can we be at ease?
“Uncle Mi, even if Gu Ying and I didn’t bring any rations with us, we wouldn’t starve. Otherwise, how could we have brought so much food back? Don’t worry.”
“You can keep these things for yourself. You don’t have to use them on me. As long as the plan is reasonable, these grains will be enough for the first crop of crops.”
MO Ruyue’s interspace could be said to have everything she needed. Not to mention anything else, the food alone was enough to feed the people of the county town for ten lifetimes.
Therefore, it was better to leave this large bag of food and herbs for those who needed it the most.
“This… Sigh, Lady Qin, if you don’t accept it, how can we be relieved? Besides, the road ahead is long. Who knows if you can find food when you need to eat at noon?
Uncle Mi still tried his best to persuade her..
