Chapter 499: Rescue the mers first
With Yu Dong by their side Aunt Wang and the mammies once again set off to rescue the villagers from the flood maybe the rain started to fall a bit too harder but it got harder and harder for them to control the raft. Aunt Wang clung to the raft for dear life while Li Li stared at the crashing wave with a ‘weee’ causing Yu Dong’s temple to throb. In the end, she snatched the long pole with which they were pushing the raft and covered the underside of the raft with her spiritual energy only then did the raft stop dancing like a rickety carriage.
” Oh thank goodness it calmed down.” Aunt Wang murmured with her mouth tightly clasped by both of her hands. ” Or else I would have hurled everything that I ate by now.” She was getting old when has she ever ridden a boat that danced around like that? Forget about riding the crashing waves, she has even ridden a boat in the calm sea!
Yu Dong stared at the pale complexion of Aunt Wang and then took the water pouch that was tied to her waist and handed it to her. ” Aunt Wang, if you feel sick then drink some water, this way you would feel a bit better.”
Aunt Wang wanted to say that they were surrounded by water and with such heavy rain was there any need for her to drink water? But in the end, this was Yu Dong’s good intention, so she took the water pouch and took a sip of the hot water.
Miraculously as soon as the warm water trickled down her throat, her queasiness vanished and then she felt much better than before. After drinking a few more gulps, aunt Wang sincerely felt that something about the water from the Yu house was really different when her husband was feeling sick while he was pregnant he would throw up everything that she cooked for him but when Yu Dong or Fang Chi brought something to eat her husband would finish it without any trouble!
In the end it Aunt Wang asked Yu Dong to start cooking a share for her husband as well only then did his morning sickness go away.
But of course, this was something that was related to Yu Dong, since she hasn’t told anything to her, she wouldn’t ask about it either. Aunt Wang nodded to herself as she sipped another sip of water, goodness once they go back she will volunteer to stay back.
The village was at a good distance away from the mountain, it took them a bit longer to reach the village, especially with all the waves that were crashing against their raft even though Yu Dong was protecting the raft with spiritual energy, the flood wasn’t something that she could fight against. By the time they reached the village Yu Dong was sweating very badly even worse than when she was with Shen Li in the tree house.
It was just as Aunt Wang told her, the second Yu Dong arrived at the village with her raft, the villagers all turned to look at her like she was prey they wanted to gobble up. They all turned to the small raft and then Yu Dong watched an incredible scene happening in front of her, the older one shouted at the younger generation about them being their elders and so they should be the ones who should be rescued first but the younger ones weren’t as easy to outbid themselves as that, they immediately rolled their eyes and pointed at the nose of those elders and called them out for being too much, shouting how they have lived most of their life and should give a way out to the younger ones.
All in all, it was a huge mess.
Aunt Wang was still shocked by the sight but Yu Dong was very calm, she has seen something like this happening in her world long ago. When the apocalypse spread all over the world, people abandoned young and old the second their food reserves started to run out. Some parents had to even kill their younger ones because dying swiftly at the hands of their parents was a lot more merciful than dying under the hands of zombies and being eaten alive.
Back then she has seen a mess like this or maybe one that was even bigger than this one.
It was only when the worst befall someone did the true nature of a person was revealed. Something like this was no longer as shocking for her as it was for Aunt Wang and the others.
” We are going to save the ones who are almost drowning first.” Yu Dong very calmly ignored the screams that were targeted in her direction and looked at the mers and their children hanging onto the edges of the roofs for dear life and frowned a little.
Seriously, no matter how carelessly they were treated by the women of this world, as the head of the house the women can at least give them a way out to survive, right? Just look at them even if there was space on the roofs, they only allowed the head of the family, their parents and their daughters to stay on top of the roof. As for their husbands and mer sons, they have kicked off the roof and were left to survive on their own.
What a pitiful and pathetic sight it was.
Annoyed, Yu Dong rowed to the house closer to the raft and then glanced at the old mer and his son floating in the water. The old mer was already on the verge of fainting and the son looked like he has been crying for quite some time, her left eye twitched and she reached out to get a hold of the mer but she was stopped by an arrogant voice.
” You are finally here! Do you have any idea how long I and my family have been waiting for you?” When Yu Dong raised her head she saw the ——pompous and arrogant as ever Ah Cy staring down at her.
Ah, so this was the Sun family.
