Chapter 1066: The Age of Disaster and Famine Farming (10)
It is extremely dangerous to go out now, not to mention that he still has food, and he is not worried about Qi Lang in July, so he pretended to sleep and sneaked out secretly, carefully following Qi Lang to protect him along the way.
Now the city is full of disaster victims, and many people in the countryside can't stand it, because they are waiting for relief food, so they are crowded into the city.
Even if Qi Lang is walking on a small road, you can also see some victims who are lying on the side of the road, and when they see Qi Lang wearing fairly clean clothes, everyone looks at him directly, if it weren't for Qi Lang's clever hiding of food in his clothes, I'm afraid that the victims would have rushed up to rob him of everything.
Qi Lang's legs were weak, but he still pretended to be shocked, Zhang Xiucai's house was very close to the yamen, but just such a little distance made Qi Lang feel as if he had walked for a long, long time, and when he arrived at the county office, his back was already soaked with sweat.
July was relieved to see that Qi Lang was safe, she turned around and walked back, but at this moment, someone blocked her way.
When he came, he was afraid that Qi Lang would find out, so he kept hiding and following, but when he went back, he didn't think about it so much, and this appearance caused trouble.
The men who stopped July were men, scrawny and skeletal who looked like skeletons, and they staggered towards July, their eyes showing a glimmer of hunger like a wolf seeing its prey.
It couldn't have been easier for July to take down these people, but it was too close to the county government office, and July didn't want to attract attention, so she put her fist down after a little thought, and then she ran around them like a loach.
Several people hurriedly chased after July when they saw July running, but they had been hungry for too long and had no strength in their bodies, so they couldn't catch up at all, and just when July was about to run around the corner and enter the house, July suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Yue'er, is it Yue'er?"
July felt that the voice was familiar, so she stood and turned back, and then saw several ragged, black, thin and thin people standing behind her.
"Oh, isn't this Yue'er! Yue'er! What about your father? We are here to find you, take us to your house!" One of the leaders of the group was particularly surprised when she saw July, she came forward to hold July's hand, but was dodged by July.
"Who are you?" July had actually recognized who those people were, but she asked with a dumb wink of wide eyes.
"Oh, you kid, why don't you know the second aunt!" said the thin black woman with a close smile.
This woman is Qi Laoer's daughter-in-law, and the other man behind her is Qi Laoer, and the other slightly taller is Qi Laosan.
"Let the second uncle take a look, hey, hey, he's so chubby! No wonder the people in our village said that they saw your father living next to it, and said that your family now has food and can eat enough every day!" Qi Lao Er said because of excitement, his dry face was twisted together, and his expression was a little hideous.
"That's it, you take us to your house quickly, I haven't seen my eldest brother and sister-in-law for a long time, I miss them to death!" Qi Laosan also said excitedly.
July squinted her eyes, she felt a little funny, it seemed that everyone had torn their faces before, these people could still be so thick-skinned and wanted to rely on their own home!
But fortunately, I met them, otherwise if they had been wandering around here, I wouldn't have known what trouble they would have caused when the family was going to follow them out of the city at night.
"Third uncle, where's grandma?" asked July with a smile.
"In the ruined temple, your third aunt will take care of her! Don't ask so much, hurry up and take us to your house, I haven't eaten anything for several days, and I'm dying of hunger!" Qi Laosan really couldn't hold back his temperament, and said anxiously.
"Then what's the matter! Grandma doesn't eat, third uncle, why can your grandma eat first!" said July, very resolutely.
Before July finished speaking, the three of them were already very impatient, and then July continued to say with a shy face, "What's more, our family doesn't live here now, why don't we go and pick up grandma first, and go to my house together!
Speaking of food, Qi Laosan's saliva was about to flow down, he just wanted to go back with Qiyue now to eat all the food in Qiyue's house, and move everything that could not be eaten, so that they would not have to go hungry anymore.
It's just that this dead girl didn't listen to any persuasion, and now she is filial, and she has to go with Mrs. Qi in life or death, and in desperation, Qi Laosan and a few people can only lead Qi Laosan to the broken temple to pick up Mrs. Qi, and then go to Qi Lang's house together.
Nowadays, the victims are already hungry and red-eyed, and it is not uncommon for people to eat people, and July is white and tender, and July seems to not care, and even innocently rolled up the sleeves of his clothes, revealing his white and fat little arms like lotus roots, which immediately attracted a lot of direct attention.
Normally, no one will snatch the child when there are adults around, but July looks so delicious that a few finally can't help but grab it.
It is difficult for children to keep this year, the two sons and girls of Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San's family are all sold, and the youngest child is also exchanged for food, in fact, it is sold well, although it is given to people at the moment, but there may be a way to live, the most pitiful is the child who changes food, at this time, such a young child has only one end, that is, it has become meat in someone else's bowl.
But in order to survive, even if you sell the child, what can you do, anyway, the child can be reborn if the child is gone!
If it was usual, they would not have looked at Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San in front of Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San, but now they are still counting on Qi Lao Er to take them to a full meal! In desperation, Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San could only fight to protect Qiyue, and Qi Lao Er's daughter-in-law also joined the battle, even biting and scratching, and finally "rescued" Qi Qi.
Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San were both wounded, and on the way to the ruined temple, they encountered at least four or five of the same battles, and each battle was more tragic than the other, if it weren't for the belief in food to support them, they would have fled in July a long time ago.
The broken temple that the Qi brothers said is a broken Taoist temple in the south of the city, and at this time the Taoist temple has been crowded with victims, the whole Taoist temple is filled with a smell of death, everyone has no flesh on their bodies, like a skeleton, some people are lying on the ground, July can't even see whether they are breathing or not, everyone is numb and dazed, all their hopes now are the legendary food for the imperial court disaster relief, but they don't know that the food will never arrive.
