"All we can do now is to retreat!" Adren looked at the village, his eyes full of anger.
Making such a decision was really difficult for him.
"Let's just forget it?" the migratory birds asked, but their mission was not completed.
"We can only wait for the opportunity!" Adren said, "This mission failed!"
"..."
"withdraw--!"
…
It's dawn.
The sun is still the same, rising as usual.
The whole village was bathed in sunshine and floods.
Su Lin stood on a high place holding Ihemiko in his arms, looking at the Sihong Village that had been ravaged by the flood in a daze.
The situation - it seems not as serious as I thought.
He thought he would see countless corpses floating on the water when he woke up early in the morning. Instead, what he saw was a group of ducks swimming in the water and a few dogs sticking out their tongues in a very standard pawing posture.
Where are people?
Where has everyone gone?
Su Lin thought in confusion.
However, after doubts came surprises. At least - not seeing the body, this is the best result. Living is the greatest gain.
"It's so good to be alive!" Igamiko in Su Lin's arms couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes——!" Su Lin couldn't help but nodded. Su Lin always felt this way every time he escaped from death after performing a mission.
However, I used to feel that it was good to live my own life, but now I feel that it is good to live in other lives.
"Su Lin-kun?" Igamiko stared at Su Lin and asked.
"Huh?" Su Lin asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"
"Lower your head!" Igamiko said.
"Lower your head?" Su Lin said, "What, is it possible that you want to kiss me?"
Everyone was fine, and Su Lin couldn't help but feel relaxed. He was in such a good mood that he couldn't help but start to return to his true nature.
"What do you think?"
"I think it's possible, but I can't be too sure -!" Su Lin said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Please don't hurt my innocent feelings, okay?"
Although he said this, Su Lin still lowered his head.
Ihamiko tried her best to raise her head, and then kissed Su Lin gently on the lips.
"Su Lin-kun, thank you!" Igamiko said, "Although I kept letting you go, you stayed in the end, which really makes me happy!"
Women are always such inexplicable creatures. They can connect several unrelated things together for you with a kind of divine logic.
…
Su Lin and Ihemiko saw the villagers of Sihong Village in a cave.
This cave is extremely hidden. There is a small opening covered by vines at the front for people to enter. After entering, it suddenly becomes clear that there is an open space the size of a basketball court. The open space is covered with a lot of straw. It seems that this has been prepared by the village.
place of refuge.
More importantly, there is a trail that leads directly to the back mountain.
Even if people from the Samsara Organization find this cave, they can escape early through the trail behind.
Su Lin was led to this cave by Xiao Pojun, and the villagers from Sihong Village also brought Wu Liaoliao and Benmeng to this cave.
When Su Lin and Igamiko first entered the cave, hundreds of villagers in the village all looked at them in darkness.
Su Lin's heart sank suddenly. He knew that these people were going to launch an attack to hold him accountable.
He made them homeless, caused them to almost die, and caused them to lose all their savings, poultry and livestock over the years. He was their biggest sinner.
If it weren't for them, the people in the Samsara Organization would never be so crazy as to do such a thing.
"Now that everyone is here, everyone is fine. It's great!"
"Yes, as long as everything is fine!"
"..."
They don't blame themselves.
Su Lin was extremely moved.
The people in the mountains are still simple!
Su Lin thought in his heart.
Everyone was talking at random, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Su Lin felt.
Su Lin placed Ihamiko on the straw bales in the cave and asked her to sit against the wall. Then Su Lin walked up to the people and bowed deeply to them.
"Ah, brother, what are you doing?"
"It was me who harmed you." Su Lin said in a deep voice. "Those bad guys came to find us. They blew up the dam just to harm me. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't be homeless and living here."
Inside, I'm sorry for you."
"So that's it!"
"I said, why did a good dam collapse? It turned out that it was bombed——"
"Where did those bad guys go? Let me shoot their birds—"
Su Lin's throat was crawling, and there were thousands of words in his heart, but what he said was the simplest and most direct sentence: "Don't worry, I will solve your future house problems for you!"
I rescued Wu Liaoxiao and went back, asking the old chief to tell the government here that it should be possible to allocate funds to the villagers of Sihong Village.
If it really doesn't work, Su Lin can only bite the bullet and pay for it himself.
Who said it was because of him? Su Lin is not a person who likes to shirk responsibility.
"It's okay, brother. If you hadn't told us in advance and we weren't prepared, someone might have died!" One of the old men said with a smile: "Life is more important than anything else!"
"Yeah yeah!"
A group of people echoed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a place to live for you!" Su Lin promised again.
Su Lin has made up his mind to bring all the villagers from Sihong Village to Zihong Township, buy a piece of land there, and then build houses for them.
Land in Dongzhi Township is cheap, and labor is even cheaper. Even building a house for each of these hundreds of people would not put much pressure on Su Lin.
The villagers of Sihong Village were naturally very willing to move from the inaccessible Sihong Village to the township that they longed for. Therefore, they became even more enthusiastic towards Su Lin and the others.
As mountain people, they are honest and simple and would not think that Su Lin would lie to them.
At this time, Wu Liaochao also came over, looked at Su Lin, and asked: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Su Lin replied flattered. This was the first time Wu Liaoliao cared about him so much.
"Where is she?" Wu Liaoxiao glanced at Ihamiko in Su Lin's arms and asked.
"She blocked a shot for me in order to save me, and she's fine now!" Su Lin replied, "But I still have to go to the hospital for a checkup!"
Wu Liaochao gritted his teeth, glanced at Ihamiko, who was pale due to injury, and then sighed silently in his heart. There were some words that he never said out loud.
