Everyone's mind was shocked, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter. Gone was the casual attitude from before.

He sat there stunned, listening to the tales of Xiao Buli and Li Shuren, until Gu Shaobang pulled him down to sit and pointed to the cupboard, "There's enough food there to last you a while. The signal's bad in the mountains, so your phone might not work, but don't worry. My folks should come looking for me in a few days, then you'll be able to get out."
After that, Gu Shaobang had Xiao Ge and Li Shuren load a few boxes of food onto the vehicle, and then the five people left.
