Chapter 2 Never speak harshly
After taking a look at the system task list, the next task is to survive for 24 hours, with random rewards.
It is not an easy task to escape with more than two hundred people, Baitao muttered in his heart, not knowing what the reward would be.
After resting for a while, just when Baitao was about to call out, someone spoke.
"Auntie, where are we going next? Are we going to hide for two days and go back?" The villager who asked the question looked confused.
No wonder someone would ask this. There are more than 200 people, old and young, and they still have nothing. It is late autumn now. Even if they have not starved to death in the past two days, they will probably die of cold in a few days.
"Don't go back!" Baitao said without thinking.
The Jin State had been defeated in successive wars and had to cut off three cities to pay compensation. Even the barbarians came to 'hunt' at will. Returning to Taohua Village would be a dead end.
As soon as Baitao finished speaking, the villagers were startled and looked at her with blank and helpless eyes.
No one objected, but some timid women began to sob softly with red eyes.
Baitao took a look and realized that this would not work. No matter what you do, you must have hope and faith.
Especially when escaping, otherwise, within two days, someone in the team will surely fall.
In this feudal society with extremely poor medical conditions, if you fall down on the way to escape, you will die soon.
Not to mention that she is the aunt of Peach Blossom Village, even if it is for the system task reward, she has to cheer everyone up.
After thinking about it, Baitao immediately clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the villagers.
She cleared her throat and was about to speak when she put down her little hand and looked around again. When she saw a stone half a person's height on the side of the path, she scrambled up it.
"Everyone listen to me."
After waving her little hand a few times to make sure that all the villagers could see her, Baitao rolled up her sleeves, but then rolled them down again the next second.
The forest path is not protected from the wind. It is already afternoon and it is cold.
"Who am I?!" Baitao raised her chin with an arrogant look on her face, patted her chest with her little hands, and asked in a sweet voice.
Although the villagers didn't know what Baitao was doing, they still cooperated and answered obediently: "Auntie."
"Yes, great aunt, you are our great aunt."
“Is the ham sausage delicious?”
“Delicious!”
Bai Taoyan continued to ask with a smile: "Then what I say will work?!"
"Of course it works."
The villagers answered in all directions.
"Auntie, you are the elder of our Taohua Village. There is no one who can speak more effectively than you."
"Yes, even if the King of Heaven comes, you won't be able to use it."
Even if there is no ham, my aunt's words are more effective than the imperial edict.
This is not an exaggeration at all. The people in Peach Blossom Village are stubborn and accept death.
The Peach Blossom Immortal has great kindness to the ancestors of the villagers, and his descendants are also very kind to the villagers. Therefore, the rule passed down from generation to generation in Peach Blossom Village is that elders are greater than heaven.
Baitao nodded with satisfaction: "Then what I mean is that I won't go back."
"People die when they are moved, and trees live when they are moved. Anyway..." After a pause, she continued to say: "The barbarians are here, and it will be a dead end if you go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers were obviously stunned for a moment, as if something was wrong.
Everyone looked at each other, and soon Bai Dashan raised his voice and agreed: "My aunt is right, people live when they are moved, and trees die when they are moved."
The other villagers also spoke one after another.
"Yes, people will live if they are moved, and trees will die if they are moved."
"Auntie, you are the elder, we all listen to you."
"That's right, Auntie, wherever you go, we will follow you." "Auntie, wherever you are, that's where Peach Blossom Village is."
In fact, everyone is not stupid. There is a high probability that they will die if they go back, but they will die in Peach Blossom Village instead of on the way to escape.
Who would want to die if he could still be alive, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped, right?
Although... everyone looked at Baitao standing on the rocks, with a stern expression on his baby-fat little face, trying to be serious. It should be a scene that made people want to laugh, but the villagers felt inexplicably relieved.
Although my aunt is not old, she is still my aunt. Where there is my aunt, no matter how hard and tiring we are, we all have roots.
Seeing this, Baitao waved her little hand and said seriously without losing her voice: "Since you all agree, let's set off."
After saying that, she jumped down from the stone.
It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon. If we don't leave, it will get dark later and we won't be able to leave anymore.
She simply said "Let's go", which made the villagers stunned for two seconds.
But everyone quickly got up from where they were sitting cross-legged on the ground and patted the dust on their trouser legs.
Either holding their own children, or supporting the elderly at home, they followed without hesitation.
If other people saw this scene, their jaws would definitely drop.
After all, it would be an incredible spectacle for more than 200 people, old and young, to listen to a five-year-old baby.
Baitao is only five years old and can take two or three steps less than an adult.
Half an hour later, Baitao, whose legs were already sore, looked back at the villagers behind him with a look of despair.
Relying on his legs, he could not walk more than forty miles in a day.
Bai Dashan was nearby. When he saw Baitao turning around, he quickly came over: "Auntie, are you tired? Let me carry you for a while?"
"No!" Baitao refused without thinking.
But the next second, she looked at the winding and rugged mountain road ahead, pretending to be considerate and said: "But since you have this filial piety, then you can find two people to carry me."
How could she be so arrogant? Now she is the aunt of Taohua Village, and she is still an aunt who is only five years old. She just can't walk.
She is already a sensible aunt when she doesn't throw herself on the floor and cry.
But forget about carrying it, if it feels uncomfortable, just carry it.
Bai Tao's agreement made Bai Dashan breathe a sigh of relief, and he called two people over while responding.
He was afraid that his aunt would hold on. She was still a little baby. If she was exhausted on the road, how could they have the dignity to meet their ancestors?
Two sticks found in the forest, a few canes, and soon a simple sedan chair came out.
Although my head was shaking when I sat on it, I was able to rest my feet.
There were more than 200 people, big and small, eating, drinking, and eating all the way. Baitao swayed left and right as the sedan was carried, while browsing the Wanjie Mall.
Wow, there are big lobsters, steamed, boiled, and garlic. Uh, no money.
Roast mutton...braised beef. After looking at the price, forget it.
Roasted pork ribs, this is also delicious, okay, but still no money.
From cooked food to raw food, Bai Tao couldn't help but drool, and in the end he could only flip to the bottom with regret.
Very good, even the most basic rice and vegetables can’t be bought. It seems that the previous ham sausage was indeed a gift package.
"Beep!"
"Ka-di~"
I don’t know if it was because of the poor signal in ancient times. After being stuck twice, the Wanjie Mall prompt appeared successfully.
