Chapter 386: Escape from Famine in the Ancient World 7
When Xie Ying heard this, he was startled for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Yu Yan. When he met Yu Yan's clear and lively eyes, his face flushed instantly and he lowered his head and said.
"This...I...I..."
Seeing how shy he was, Yuyan comforted him to ease the embarrassment.
"Don't bother me, I was just kidding you. I still have some self-awareness. Okay, practice your skills!"
Then Yuyan was ready to go to sleep again, but as soon as she turned around, Xie Ying grabbed her arm again.
He was not shy this time. Instead, he straightened his face, stood in front of Yuyan, and said solemnly.
"Miss Yu, I am willing to marry you. I have a crush on you since the first time I saw you. It would be my life's fortune if I could marry you."
"…………"
Yuyan was stunned, looking at the other party's sincere and burning eyes, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
The fire in the cave crackled twice and eventually went out.
Yuyan glanced at the fire, then looked at Xie Ying again. Seeing that he was looking at her firmly, she slowly curled her lips into a smile and replied softly.
"In that case, then it's as you wish."
Xie Yingben's heart suddenly settled down. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Yuyan tightly, and looked very happy.
"Yanyan, let's get married when we return to Shengjing! Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well."
"……it is good."
On the fourth day after Yuyan came to this world, the sky became sunny again. Although it was still extremely hot, at least it did not affect their journey.
The two of them set out again towards Shengjing early in the morning. With the internal strength that Xie Ying had cultivated in the past two days, they could easily travel more than two or three hundred kilometers a day.
At noon, the sunlight became even stronger, as if it would melt people.
The two had been walking for two hours and were a little dehydrated, so they stopped under a dry tree, rested their feet, and chatted with the refugees next to them.
After learning that their homes had been destroyed and that Shengjing was the only place where they could still find food, they traveled hundreds of miles to Shengjing to seek a way to survive.
Xie Ying felt very sorry when she saw those people with sunken cheeks, dull eyes, and skinny bodies.
He lowered his head in thought, his eyes flickering as he glanced at Yu Yan beside him, then at the group of refugees, and could not help but lower his head in deep thought.
After drinking some water, Yuyan covered her eyes with her sleeves and began to doze off.
The system also reported to her the latest situation of the original owner's enemies in a timely manner.
"Host, let me report the latest situation to you. The three butchers managed to stay alive on the first day of snow, but were drowned by the flood on the second day. Zhou Ahhua's family was lucky. Although they had no food or firewood, and their house collapsed, they were lucky enough to survive the snowstorm and flood. They are still alive now."
"Don't worry about them. What the ending will be depends on their own luck." Yu Yan sighed lightly in annoyance.
The sunlight was too strong and her body was already drenched with sweat. The sticky smell hanging on her body was very uncomfortable, and she could even smell the sweat and sour smell at the tip of her nose.
"Host, what are you going to do with this world? These people are so pitiful, can you help them?"
The system looked at this ruined world and the dozens of skinny refugees nearby, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for them.
Yuyan fanned herself with her right hand while answering the system in her heart.
"What can I do? This planet has just been hit, and the aftermath is still not over. The ecological environment has completely collapsed and is now in a period of chaos. What can I do? Can I change their plane? Or change their planet? This is not very practical."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the bright and dazzling sky from under his sleeves and spoke in a firm tone.
"Wait a little longer! It should be soon. A new ecosystem will emerge soon, and everyone will be able to survive."
"really?"
"Well, now we can only pray for the souls of those who died. May there be no suffering in heaven, may the dead souls rest in peace, and may they be reborn soon."
"Well, wait for the arrival of light, host, please remember our mission and come on!" The system, which was successfully comforted by Yu Yan, immediately became excited again.
"Get lost! You're just a piece of trash."
Yuyan lowered the sleeves that were covering her face and took a look at the skinny victims standing beside Xie Ying, including a few frail women and children.
I don’t know how they have survived to this day in such an environment where people eat each other and are in an absolutely disadvantaged position.
It was obvious that those children were dying. They had big heads and small bodies, sunken eye sockets, and were so hungry that they could not even open their eyes.
A few sturdy men nearby were staring at them with eager eyes.
Xie Ying followed Yu Yan's gaze, couldn't help but sigh, and finally made up his mind to say to her.
"Yanyan, they are also going to Shengjing. Let's take them with us! We can take care of each other."
"…But we don't have anything to eat or drink, what's the point of bringing them along?"
"I just don't want them to be eaten after they die." Xie Ying said dimly, looking at the men with an unfriendly look.
Yuyan thought of herself and the original owner, and couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy. She patted Xie Ying on the shoulder and praised him.
"Brother Xiao, you are such a good person."
Then Yuyan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then she stood up and paced around to look around.
Seeing this, Xie Ying looked puzzled and followed her and asked.
"Yanyan, what's wrong?"
Yuyan turned her head to look at him, then looked at the sword in his hand, then pointed to a place on the ground and spoke to him.
"Brother Xie, I once read a book that mentioned how to find a water source. I just looked at this area and thought there might be a water source here. Put your inner strength into your sword and chop it down here."
Xie Ying had no doubt about Yu Yan's words. He looked at Yu Yan excitedly and confirmed.
"...Really?" If we can really find a source of water, then everyone's hope of survival will be greater.
Xie Ying has a strong execution ability and is willing to take action immediately.
The refugees not far away also heard Yuyan's words, and their originally dead eyes suddenly lit up.
Then they all struggled to get up and gathered around Yuyan, their eyes full of hope.
Xie Ying paid no attention to the refugees watching nearby. Instead, he took out his sword as Yu Yan said, poured his inner strength into it, and then slashed fiercely in the direction Yu Yan said.
The sword was extremely powerful. Although it did not shake the mountains and rivers, it created a one-meter-deep pit in the ground.
But unfortunately, after the sword was swung, only dust was seen flying, and the land in the pit was still hard and dry, without any trace of water.
