Chapter 1: The Down-and-Out Lady (Details)

I saw that the emaciated girl struggled to pick up a sharp stone, and then smashed it madly on the boar.

Under Shen Yuheng's brutal attack, the wild boar cub that had not yet reached adulthood had gradually lost the strength to resist, and finally gradually lost all its breath.

Shen Yuheng forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body, picked up the bun that had rolled on the ground for an unknown number of circles, and picked up the edible part and ate it.

Biting the bun skin that was still covered with sand, Shen Yuheng smiled bitterly, if she was still the eldest lady of the Shen family, she would never disdain this kind of thing that only mortals eat, but there is no if in the world.

She could only endure the bullying of those people and the wild boars for food.

Shen Yuheng shook her head, she was not the eldest lady of the Shen family for a long time, she had better deal with this wild boar cub.

Fortunately, it was not far from the river, and she dragged the body to the river with great difficulty, and then sat down by the river to rest for a while.

She had a lot of boar blood on her body, and the sticky feeling made her uncomfortable, but given that she only had such a set of clothes, she had to do her best to clean up the skin she could.

Smoothing out her withered grass-like hair with water, Shen Yuheng finally looked like a little person, although she was still a dirty little girl, thinking of her life in the Shen family, and thinking of her displacement during this period of time and the trouble caused by this face, she hurriedly pulled back the hair that was pulled to both sides, and she became a little beggar who couldn't see her eyebrows clearly.

There was originally a fire crystal mine near here, but I don't know why it failed, and you can pick up fire crystal fragments almost by walking a few steps, and there are many poor people who come to this neighborhood to pick up fire crystal if they don't have a fire.

She doesn't know what the name of this river is, but it is said that this river is the dividing line between the Demon Beast Forest and Ping'an Town, and the Demon Beast cannot cross the river to Ping'an Town, but most people don't believe it that way, so they don't want to get close to the river.

Picking up a bag full of fire crystals, Shen Yuheng dragged the corpse upstream of the river with great difficulty.

Upstream of the river is a former miner's settlement, where they usually live.

That's right, it's them.

This little beggar is not her, but a group.

By the time she dragged the boar back, it was already dark.

And she lost her strength, leaning weakly against the wall and closing her eyes to recuperate.

"Sister, the soup is cooked, you drink a little. A boy who looked to be three or four years old walked cautiously with a bowl that had been missing.

"Thank you, Xiaoliu. Shen Yuheng thanked him, took the bowl and drank it. If she was in the Shen family in the past, she would have disdained even the extremely good Haobi meat, but now she can drink this watery pork soup.

The pork boiled in clear water also has some pieces of meat in the soup, and the meat pieces vary in size, some are strip-like, and some are large and large, which are obviously torn off little by little. After drinking the soup, Shen Yuheng obviously felt a lot of strength.

There were ten of them, the oldest of whom was no more than eight years old, and the youngest had not yet been weaned.

Today's pork soup was the best meal they had ever eaten.

Seeing them in a circle in front of the iron pot, scooping the soup with a spoon one by one, Shen Yuheng couldn't help but show a smile.

She wants to feed them, not by words, but by heart.

The little mute didn't know where to get half a steamed bun and delivered it to her.

Shen Yuheng did not refuse, and ate silently.

He is the third person Shen Yuheng picked up, he is a mute, which is the reason why he was abandoned by his parents.

Some of those children were displaced by natural disasters at home, and some were abandoned at birth, and this group of children got together because of Shen Yuheng.

After eating, the children stayed quietly aside, and did not dare to make any drastic movements except for the necessary movements. Even when he speaks, he is very quiet.

Shen Yuheng knew that this was to avoid expending too much physical strength.

But Shen Yuheng couldn't help but sigh. It's still autumn, it's not cold, and they can still live in this shabby house, but once winter comes, they can only suffer from freezing.

She needed money, she needed cotton clothes, she needed more things to keep them alive.

But how easy is that?

Pity her, she should be the eldest lady of the Shen family who has been loved by thousands of people, but she is so down!

*

Time is rushing, and winter is coming soon.

Because of the winter, they had to huddle in a dilapidated house.

Outside, the wind and snow were howling. From time to time, the wind mixed with snowflakes fell on the house, causing all ten people to tremble.

Ten children huddled together with gurgling boiling water in front of them.

"Sister, will we freeze to death?" Xiao Liu said tremblingly. The bone-chilling cold made her hands and feet cold, and her teeth chattered.

"What nonsense, you see that the fire is so strong, how can it freeze you?" Shen Yuheng touched Xiao Liu's head and pointed to the fire and said. But she didn't have confidence in her heart. This winter......

"Sister, I'm cold. Xiao Liu leaned towards Shen Yuheng's side.

Shen Yuheng stretched out a hand to wrap his arms around Xiao Liu. Secretly sighed.

They were covered with the skin of the wild boar, and there was a faint smell of blood on them, but in such a harsh environment, they couldn't take care of that.

Now the bigger problem is that they are running out of food.

It was still snowing outside, and although the broken house would not collapse so easily, there was no possibility for them to get out.

"Tianmu, hold Xiao Shi for me. Shen Yuheng stretched out his hand in the direction of a girl.

The girl called the canopy looked at the child in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and handed the child over.

The dirty quilt was wrapped around the child, and he couldn't see the original appearance for a long time, the child's little face was red, and his small body was also hot, obviously with a high fever.

Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi are her own sisters, Xiao Jiu is the daughter of the Shen family, and Xiao Shi is the sister of her in-laws, but on the day Xiao Shi was born, the Shen family suffered, and the three of them escaped, and then they were left behind.

Shen Yuheng pasted Xiao Shi's little face. Xiao Shi's body is still soft, but it's hot. Thinking that this wind chill might take Xiao Shi's life, Shen Yuheng couldn't help but feel sad.

The little mute brought a small half bowl of broth. The meat boiled in the pot was something they had been reluctant to eat, so it froze, and now it has long lost its original deliciousness, and it is said to be a broth, but it is difficult to find even a shredded meat.

Shen Yuheng carefully took the only spoon and fed Xiao Shi the broth.

"If you get closer, it won't get cold. Shen Yuheng saw that Xiao Shi had drunk a little bit, and beckoned to the others.

They were located at the narrowest part of the river, and those monsters could come here in a single leap, so they were far away from the people.

Shen Yuheng knew that it was unrealistic for him to go to the city. First of all, they don't have any silver, and they can't save Xiao Shi if they go to the city, not to mention that the snow is so thick now, it is estimated that she will freeze to death before she reaches the city.
