Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs
Chapter 23 Revisiting the Water Source 1
"Yaojie, Suihe, take care of your younger sister at home, and wash the mushrooms by the way, and mother will make mushroom soup for you when you come back tonight!" Jiang Ling gently put Jiang Wenxi, who was already asleep, on the bed, and walked outside to face her said the two children.
The two children kept Jiang Ling's advice in mind and watched her leave the old house again.
In the depths of the mountain, Jiang Ling quietly touched the White-haired Empress Temple again. Jiang Ling learned to be smart this time, so she didn't go in hastily. She first observed around to make sure that no one would come near here, and then she went in. Walk in cautiously.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Ling felt a wave of moisture rushing towards her face. She couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly reached out to touch the stone wall next to her.
"The stone wall is smooth, and it even feels slightly moist to the touch. It seems that there must be a source of water in this place!" Thinking of this, Jiang Ling's inner joy could no longer be suppressed, and even her breathing began to become rapid stand up.
She patted her chest, took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down the excitement in her heart, and then cautiously continued to walk towards the depths of the cave.
"woo woo woo woo……"
The whimpering sound came from far to near, piercing into Jiang Ling's ears, Jiang Ling shivered subconsciously, and her heart, which had just calmed down a little, began to beat wildly and violently again.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the sun is shining now, how could there be those messy things!" Jiang Ling continued to walk towards the inside with trembling legs while comforting herself.
The road in the stone cave gradually began to become slippery, and Jiang Ling continued walking cautiously while supporting the stone wall.
A ray of light loomed at the corner of the cave, and the sound of sobbing and crying became more and more clear.
Jiang Ling tiptoed to the corner of the stone wall, and slowly poked his head out. Jiang Ling was startled by the scene in front of him.
A white-haired woman was lying on the ground motionless with her eyes closed and her face pale. Beside her was kneeling a child boy whose complexion was almost as pale as hers.
"The white-haired lady? No, it should be a person!" The candlelight reflected the shadows of the white-haired woman and the child on the ground. Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the shadows of the two people.
She poked her head out to secretly observe the situation of the two people, and after confirming that she was not in any danger, she slowly walked out from behind the stone wall.
"You... are you okay?" Jiang Ling tried to slow down her voice in order not to scare the little boy.
"Ah! You! You! You! Who are you?" The sudden appearance of Jiang Ling still startled the little boy, his weak body trembled suddenly, and he asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"I..." Jiang Ling didn't know how to explain his identity for a while, so he could only look at the white-haired woman in front of him and said, "Is this your mother?"
The little boy stared at Jiang Ling vigilantly, and just about to nod, he shook his head frantically.
"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Ling continued to ask patiently.
"No... I don't know." The little boy's expression remained the same.
Jiang Ling bit her lower lip, and boldly walked up to the white-haired woman. As soon as she stretched out her hand to touch the white-haired woman's neck, the little boy roared explosively: "You! Don't touch her!"
Jiang Ling was taken aback by the little boy's roar, but she patiently said softly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you!"
The little boy seemed to feel that there was no danger signal on Jiang Ling. Although he was still looking at Jiang Ling with vigilant eyes, he had already allowed Jiang Ling to touch the white-haired woman in front of him.
Jiang Ling stretched out a trembling hand, and gently pressed it against the woman's slender neck.
"Still... not bad, still alive..." Jiang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after feeling the throbbing of the woman's carotid artery.
"Gulu..." Bowel sounds came from the little boy's stomach. Jiang Ling turned to look at the little boy, touched the woman's sunken belly and asked, "How long have you guys not eaten?"
The little boy was taken aback by the question, he stroked his stomach and thought for a while and said, "Probably... about two days."
Jiang Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, probably the white-haired woman in front of him just fainted from hunger, thinking that Jiang Ling glanced at the little boy and said: "You wait for me here for a while, I'll get you something to eat!"
Jiang Ling walked to the corner of the cave, confirmed that the little boy hadn't followed, clicked on the system mall, bought two buckwheat pancakes and a small bar of chocolate, and came back to them again.
"Let's eat first!" Jiang Ling said, putting the buckwheat cake in front of the little boy.
Immediately afterwards, the chocolate that had been torn off the packaging was fed into the woman's mouth.
"What are you doing! You!" Jiang Ling just opened the woman's mouth to put the chocolate in, when the little boy cried out again.
"This is medicine, the medicine for her coma! Don't worry, I won't hurt you!" Jiang Ling stuffed the chocolate into the woman's mouth as she spoke, then tore a buckwheat cake and put it in her own mouth, saying: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous! Look, I ate it all!"
The vigilance in the little boy's eyes did not lessen at all. After a while, seeing that Jiang Ling was fine, he quickly pointed to the buckwheat cake in Jiang Ling's hand and said, "I want to eat this piece!"
Jiang Ling had no choice but to reach out and hand it over.
"Eh..." The woman's shallow groan came from behind Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling turned her head to look, and the white-haired woman's frowning eyebrows began to relax, and her eyes slowly opened.
"Ah! You! You! Who are you?"
As Jiang Ling expected, the white-haired woman and the little boy saw Jiang Ling in exactly the same state.
Jiang Ling rubbed her buzzing ears and said helplessly, "I'm not a bad person, I really want to do something, there's no need to wait for you to wake up!"
"Auntie! Auntie! You're awake!" Seeing that the white-haired woman woke up, the little boy ran towards the woman with unfinished buckwheat pancakes.
"Who is your mother! Shut up!" The white-haired woman seemed to be very sensitive about her relationship with the little boy now, she scolded with a cold face.
The white-haired woman's scolding made the little boy stand there helpless, and the original smile froze on his face.
"I didn't mean to disturb you, I just came to find a source of water. There has been a severe drought outside for several months and there has been no rain. If this continues, the crops in the field will wither!" Jiang Ling said flatly.
"Oh! The Lu family deserve it, I punished them!" The white-haired woman immediately showed a disdainful expression when she heard Jiang Ling's words.
"You don't need to act, I know you are human, if you are really a god in the sky, how could you faint from hunger, how could you have a shadow?" Jiang Ling pointed helplessly at the figure under the candlelight and said.
"You... who are you!" The white-haired woman whose identity had been exposed became alert again.
"I'm just an ordinary village woman. If you don't believe me, I can't help it. I just want to find water to solve the problem of drought in the land!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Ling paused and then continued: "I know that the people in the village respect you very much, but what do you think about the famine year when there is no harvest, and the village has no extra things to worship! Today is your luck, I I came here to save you, what if I don’t come today? How old is your son this year? Can’t you let him starve to death with you?”
The two children kept Jiang Ling's advice in mind and watched her leave the old house again.
In the depths of the mountain, Jiang Ling quietly touched the White-haired Empress Temple again. Jiang Ling learned to be smart this time, so she didn't go in hastily. She first observed around to make sure that no one would come near here, and then she went in. Walk in cautiously.
