Chapter 368 Little Pocket's First Attempt at Distributing Supplies
Ever since they saw Lin Ye flying towards Suzhou from the sky, the people on the rooftops couldn't hold back any longer, and everyone who had a little strength stood up.
He watched with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation as the figure in the sky drew closer and closer.
They had been trapped on the roof for who knows how long, their clothes were always wet, their bones were shivering from the cold, their lips were already blue from the cold, and the skin on their hands and feet was white and wrinkled from being soaked in water.
Rainwater streamed down their already soaked hair, dripping onto the roof tiles at their feet, blending completely with the torrential rain throughout the city, making it impossible to distinguish them.
Hunger and exhaustion had left many people too weak to even sit up, but when that golden light streaked across the sky and flew toward them, everyone's eyes lit up, and it seemed as if their last bit of strength surged through their bodies.
They supported each other, holding on, pulling, and bracing themselves as they stood up unsteadily, tiptoeing and gazing at the distant sky.
Until the shadowy figure could be seen flying rapidly towards them with the naked eye, its golden light shining even brighter in the rain, like a sword cleaving the heavens and the earth.
An old man was so excited that he was trembling and his vision was blurring. He was holding the hand of the person next to him.
Of course, it could also be from hunger. He was so thin that he was just skin and bones. His soaked coarse cloth clothes hung loosely on his body, fluttering in the wind and clinging to his ribs, making them clearly visible.
He paused for a moment, then shouted with all his might, "He's here! Immortal Lin is here!"
That shout seemed to ignite a fuse. The hundreds of people still struggling to survive on the rooftops of the surrounding buildings began to call out "Immortal Lin" in unison.
The voices varied in pitch and tone, came from men and women, young and old, and were all filled with sobs, ecstatic joy at surviving a catastrophe, and disbelief.
"Master Lin!"
"The Immortal Lin has arrived!"
"The Immortal Lin has come to our rescue!"
……
Lin Ye stood on the flying sword and slowly descended.
He gazed at those upturned faces, at those eyes that shone brilliantly in the rain, and felt as if something heavy had gently struck his heart.
That is the weight of life.
Lin Ye sighed inwardly and said, "Please wait here for now. Once the water recedes, soldiers will come to pick you up and settle you in." His voice was calm and steady, which gradually calmed the people down.
After saying that, he opened his phone, preparing to send some food or something, but after looking around, there was really no place to put the supplies, so he thought he might as well just hand them over.
With the protective bubble around, Lin Ye wasn't afraid of any accidents.
Lin Ye was preparing to lower the flying sword further when he looked down and suddenly saw Xiao Douzi's sympathetic face. A new idea came to him.
He leaned closer to the small bag and whispered a few words in its ear.
Xiao Douzi's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously: "No problem, Godfather! Leave it to Xiao Douzi!" He straightened up from Lin Ye's arms, put his little schoolbag in front of him, and was eager to try it out.
Lin Ye used his phone to transfer supplies into Xiao Douzi's arms: a bag of milk, two loaves of bread, and an umbrella.
The moment the item appeared in her arms, a very faint ripple spread across the protective bubble. Anything that came into contact with them was automatically regarded as part of the two of them by the protective bubble, thus isolating them from the rain.
The people looked over and their eyes lit up. They had seen similar things in the sky before; they were the food and water of the immortals!
Many people's eyes lit up with envy as they stared at the contents of the little boy's arms, swallowing hard. Their rumbling stomachs, filled with hunger, rumbled loudly in unison, sounding especially clear in the silence.
Out of reverence for the deity, no one dared to step forward. They simply stared longingly, mouths agape, but dared not utter a sound.
Lin Ye spoke, and his voice traveled clearly through the sky to the ears of everyone on the nearby rooftops.
"Everyone, if you can still move, line up here and get ready to receive supplies. If you can't move, stay where you are. Everyone will receive supplies. No scrambling or cutting in line is allowed. Those who scramble won't receive anything, and those who cut in line will be at the very end!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the people sprang into action, some lining up, others squatting where they couldn't get up, waiting anxiously.
Although the queue was completely disorganized and scattered, no one pushed or shoved, and no one fought for a spot.
Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction and lowered the flying sword further, bringing it closer to the people queuing up.
The little boy picked up the three items from his pocket, and then his childish voice rang out: "This black one is an umbrella. Press here to open it and it will keep you dry. This is mineral water. Just twist the cap off and you can drink it."
She tried to unscrew the bottle of mineral water, but failed because she was too weak, and looked to Lin Ye for help.
Lin Ye had her hold the bottle while he unscrewed the cap with his free hand. Little Douzi watched with bright eyes and continued, "Yes, just like this to unscrew it. Then this is bread. Tear it open like this. This little thing inside is a desiccant; it's poisonous and you can't eat it."
She spoke as clearly and quickly as possible, then handed all the things in her arms to the first person.
The first person excitedly accepted it, shouting "Thank you, immortal! Thank you, eldest princess!" and walked to the side. Instead of opening the umbrella first, he picked up the torn bread and wolfed it down.
His dry throat was rubbed by the soft bread, and he could even feel the food sliding from his esophagus into his stomach. The feeling of his shrunken stomach walls being stretched made him feel much better.
After finishing his meal, the burning sensation in his stomach subsided somewhat, and he clumsily opened his umbrella and covered his head, instantly feeling no more of the rain hitting him.
The raindrops falling from all directions were blocked by the thin umbrella, and they gathered into tiny streams at the edges before sliding down and dripping onto the ground at the feet.
He touched the frame inside the umbrella with surprise and discovered the magical effect of this "umbrella". He quickly squatted down and huddled under the umbrella, then gently unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip.
The water, which had no strange smell and a slightly sweet taste, immediately brightened his eyes. The choking sensation caused by eating too quickly was instantly relieved by this sip of water.
This tastes so much better than rainwater!
He took a few more small sips, holding each sip in his mouth for a while before finally swallowing.
Then he tore open another loaf of bread. This time he wasn't in such a hurry. He began to savor it, taking small bites and chewing slowly in his mouth.
The soft bread melted in his mouth, sweet and with a milky aroma he had never tasted before. For a moment, he felt as if he were eating soft, sweet clouds, so delicious that his eyes narrowed.
