Chapter 346 Rescue
"Ah Hu, Ah Bao, hurry up and feed your grandfather some more!"
All I heard was an anxious cry.
At this moment, a skinny, hunchbacked old man was staggering and walking towards this side.
The back is bent like a bow, which makes people feel pity.
He walked slowly to Xiao Wanwan, and without any hesitation, he knelt down with a plop.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, goddess! If it weren't for you, we old, weak, and sick people would have died here today."
The hunchbacked old man raised his head, his wrinkled face full of gratitude.
His hoarse and old voice sounded a little weak, but the sincerity contained in it was unquestionable.
"Oh, old man, please don't do this. Please get up quickly!"
Faced with this sudden scene, Xiao Wanwan was immediately panicked and at a loss for a moment.
She hurried forward, stretched out her hands and carefully helped the old man up from the ground.
"Thank you, goddess, for saving my life! Thank you, goddess, for saving my life!"
Xiao Wanwan had just helped the hunchbacked old man up when a large group of people suddenly knelt down in front of her.
These old people and children had expressions of extreme piety and gratitude on their faces.
"Hey, everyone, hurry up and get up! It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart."
Xiao Wanwan blushed. She really couldn't accept so many people kneeling in front of her.
"Goddess, it's just a simple favor for you, but for all of us, it's a life-saving grace!"
The hunchbacked old man burst into tears of gratitude. How could those high and mighty gods care about the old, weak and sick like them?
But the goddess before them condescended to save the lives of the entire village.
"Ha ha……"
Hearing this, Xiao Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and could only force a smile.
Such a scene really made her feel uncomfortable.
"Everyone, hurry up and see if anyone is injured?"
"Hey... everyone, get up!"
The hunchbacked old man sighed softly.
They have to experience countless monster attacks every year, and casualties are inevitable, but they have long been accustomed to it.
Everyone got up from the ground and checked and treated each other's injuries.
When Xiao Wanwan saw everyone, young and old, she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.
"Grandpa, where is your home? Let me take you back."
Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.
Xiao Wanwan didn't want them to be eaten by monsters right after she rescued them.
"Alas... this is our home, but it's too bad it was destroyed by this damn monster!"
The hunchbacked old man looked at the ruins in front of him, his eyes filled with tears, and his face was full of misery and sorrow.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if trying to grab something, but in the end it just dropped weakly.
Fortunately, although the home was badly destroyed, no one was seriously injured.
As long as we wait for the strong young people in the village to come back, it will not be difficult to rebuild the houses.
After hearing what the hunchbacked old man said, Xiao Wanwan noticed that there were many collapsed wooden houses around.
These once warm homes have now become dilapidated, which makes people feel pity when they see them.
"Grandpa, in my opinion, this place is no longer safe. Why don't you and the others consider moving somewhere else? This way, we can avoid similar disasters again."
Xiao Wanwan said with concern that she also had good intentions and wanted to help them find a more stable place to live.
In response to Xiao Wanwan's kind advice, the hunchbacked old man sighed deeply and then slowly shook his head.
"Goddess, it's not that we don't want to leave this place. We have lived and multiplied here for generations. How can we survive anywhere else?"
After saying this, the old man couldn't help but shed a few more turbid tears.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your home!"
When Xiao Wanwan saw the hunchbacked old man crying, she felt guilty.
"Goddess, there's no need to apologize! We are the ones who should thank you for saving our lives."
The hunchbacked old man reached out to wipe away his tears, his wrinkled face full of sorrow.
Survival is so difficult, but life must go on.
Most of Xiao Wanwan's group were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and she couldn't help but feel curious.
She pondered it in her mind and then asked carefully.
"Grandpa, I see that your village is full of old people, weak women and children. It is really dangerous to live here."
The hunchbacked old man understood what Xiao Wanwan meant, and forced a smile on his face as he explained to her.
"Goddess, the young men in the village have gone out hunting. When they return, they will definitely thank you."
"Grandpa, no need! I have to hurry on my way. You guys take a break and I'll be leaving."
Xiao Wanwan understood that all the young and strong people in the village had gone out to look for food.
Seeing the hunchbacked old man's enthusiasm to keep her, she waved her hands to refuse.
Xiao Wanwan suddenly noticed a group of people coming towards them quickly from a distance, so she smiled and said to the hunchbacked old man.
"Grandpa, the young and strong men in your village should be back!"
"Really?"
There was a look of surprise in the hunchbacked old man's eyes, but he couldn't help feeling worried.
The young and strong men in their village go out hunting and usually take three to five days to come back.
He had only been out for two days this time, how come he came back so soon?
But what accident happened?
He followed Xiao Wanwan's gaze and saw a group of people walking out from the depths of the dense forest.
The leader was tall and strong, carrying a huge monster on his shoulders.
As soon as he saw the hunchbacked old man, he grinned, revealing his big white teeth.
"Grandpa, we're back!"
Then he saw the collapsed wooden house not far away, and his face suddenly changed.
The sturdy young man threw the monster on his shoulder to the ground and ran towards the hunchbacked old man like the wind.
"Grandpa, there are monsters attacking. Are you all okay?"
He supported the hunchbacked old man and examined him carefully from head to toe with a look of concern on his face.
The group of people behind the sturdy young man also dropped the prey in their hands and ran anxiously towards their relatives.
After a period of chaos, everyone finally calmed down.
The sturdy young man turned to look at Xiao Wanwan, his honest face filled with gratitude.
With a plop, he knelt heavily in front of Xiao Wanwan and kowtowed without hesitation.
"Awei thanks the goddess for saving my life!"
Awei raised his head again, and there was an obvious red mark on his forehead.
The corners of Xiao Wanwan's mouth twitched a few times. What an honest child.
This kowtow is not exaggerated at all.
"You're welcome, get up!"
Seeing these people kneeling down and kowtowing to her at every turn, Xiao Wanwan felt uncomfortable all over.
At this time, the rest of the people also gathered in front of Xiao Wanwan and knelt down one after another.
"Thank you, goddess, for saving my life!"
At this moment, Xiao Wanwan only felt her scalp tingling, and she even wanted to run away.
She grinned in a stiff smile.
"Hehe...Everyone, get up quickly!"
