Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

Chapter 295 Cannot Save the World

"Don't come any closer, don't come near me, stay away from me, don't come any closer..."

As the child spoke, he turned his head to look behind him. Although he didn't want Lin Cai to get close to him, he lowered his voice while speaking.

Lin Cai stopped and frowned as she looked at the child: "What are you afraid of? What are you looking back at?"

"It's none of your business. Just don't come near me, don't come near anyone I'm with, including... basically, just don't come near me..."

"You didn't even explain things clearly to me before telling me not to come near you. How am I supposed to know if you're not playing me?"

"How can you be so silly, woman? I told you not to come near, just listen to me, why ask so many questions?"

Lin Cai felt something was strange and was about to go over and ask him what was going on when the child turned around and ran away.

Back in the dilapidated temple, Lin's mother quickly pulled her daughter to her side. Feeling the coolness on her daughter's body, she couldn't help but frown.

“It’s so cold outside, why did you run out? Your hands are freezing, and you didn’t even come back. If you get frostbite anywhere, I won’t take care of you.”

"Mother, I was only out for a short while, it's not that serious. Besides, I'm back now, aren't I?"

"Look at my hands. There's nothing wrong with them. Everything is perfectly fine. There's definitely no problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother pinched her daughter's nose: "You're just trying to fool me. Hurry up and warm yourself by the fire so you won't be tired tomorrow."

Lin Cai nodded obediently in her mother's arms. She glanced at the crowd, but it was too dark to find the child.

After a good night's sleep, everyone's stomachs were growling the next morning, and some people couldn't stand it anymore and went out to find something to eat.

But none of the people inside came out. The people of Gujia Village couldn't stand it, so they called their companions and went outside.

Even Gu Wu couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran away with the others from the same village.

Yesterday's snow was quite heavy, and there was a thick layer of snow outside. Every step left a footprint, and if you weren't careful, you would sink right in.

When Lin Cai woke up, everyone in the family was there except for her third brother. As for the three little ones, they should be in the carriage now.

The carriage had a tent, which was much warmer than outside; they were warmer there than here.

Moreover, there was food inside the carriage, so the little ones wouldn't go hungry over there.

Lin Long originally intended to have his younger sister come along, but she refused. He went over and got some dry food instead.

As soon as he took the item out, everyone stared intently at what he was holding.

Lin Long wasn't afraid at all. He gave the food to Lin Cai, then to Lin's mother and Hua Ni, and said, "Eat quickly, there's not much left."

"This is what we got after we killed that guy. There's only a little left, and it'll spoil if we don't eat it soon!"

Lin Long spoke very loudly, and even deliberately said that he had stolen it from a dead person. Sure enough, when the people on the other side heard this, they almost all lowered their heads.

Because they all understood that someone who could steal from a dead person was definitely not someone they could defeat.

They're risking their lives, how can they fight them to the death?

Dong Ge was also there. After hearing what Lin Long said, his restless heart was gradually suppressed.

There was a Buddha statue in the dilapidated temple, so he leaned against it and closed his eyes.

When things quieted down, Lin Cai approached her older brother and asked, "What did you see, brother?"

"They are not good people. Stay away from them and don't go near them."

"Brother, did you figure it out?"

"What are you saying, girl? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No, I just don't understand, why does Second Brother pretend he doesn't know anything when he clearly does?"

"Because there is a place to stay here."

Lin Cai was speechless for a moment after hearing this. Yes!

Because there is a place to stay here, no matter what the reason or the situation, they must stay here, because there is a place to stay here.

If they had continued on their journey last night, at least half of the people in Gujia Village would not have been able to hold on.

The people who went out to find food have all returned. Now it's all snow outside, and there's not a single green thing to be seen. So most of the edible things are buried in the snow and in the soil.

However, most of those things were just grass roots or insects.

Gu Wu also returned. He found some tree bark and some cogongrass roots. Although both are edible, eating too much of them would be too much for a person.

Lin Cai wanted to stop her, but she swallowed the words back. She had food here, but could she take it out now?

She couldn't imagine what changes would occur among the people here if she actually took it out, or what the consequences would be for her.

She dared not take it out, nor dared to gamble, because sometimes, once some people lose their minds, they are capable of doing anything.

Lin Cai couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to go for a walk. Gu Jiao'er stood up and followed her out.

"You have food on you, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Cai stopped and looked at her: "Look at me, where can I hide food?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either. I know you have it, and I've seen it before."

"Oh, then tell me where it is, or if you remind me, I can get some for you."

"Have you forgotten? Have you really forgotten?" Gu Jiao'er asked twice, as if to confirm whether Lin Cai had truly forgotten.

Before she could get an answer, she continued, "Since you've already forgotten, then forget it. Once you've forgotten, you should never think about it again."

"It's good to have something to eat, but if you're the only one who has to bring it out, then it might not be a good thing!"

"Since you've already forgotten, then don't think about it anymore. It's best to never remember it again, understand?"

Lin Cai frowned as she looked at her. Why was this woman so contradictory?

One second they want to expose you, the next they tell you to say nothing.

So what is this woman thinking?

Is he trying to expose her, remind her, or just warn her?

Perhaps Lin Cai's expression was too obvious, because Gu Jiao'er could tell what it meant.

Then I heard her say, "There are too many people these days. If you don't want to be tied up, just pretend you didn't see anything."

"You can save one person, you can save one family, but you can't save everyone in the world."
