"Are they all dead?" Zhang Youxiong raised his voice, hard to believe, he remembered that there were sixty or seventy people in this village, and they were all dead in just two days?

He Xiaoren had tears on his face, his expression was slightly numb, and he muttered: "Yes, they are all dead, and there are sixty-eight people who come out, and only seven of us are left." ”

"Was it attacked by a fierce beast?" Zhang Youxiong looked at the injuries on the seven people, as if they had been bitten by wild beasts.

He Xiaoren nodded, and said: "We were first attacked by a big worm, the big worm was like a monster, bigger than the two big bulls combined, we sixty-eight people were bitten to death by the beast in the blink of an eye, maybe it felt that it was enough, so it did not chase after us, but the disaster is not alone, we have not recovered and were attacked by two black panthers, we have no power to fight back, we can only escape, and in the end only seven of us are left." We didn't want to stay in this terrible place any longer, not for a moment, but we lost our way, we couldn't find the exit of the canyon, we walked and walked, we searched and searched, and we didn't dare to rest for a moment, we didn't dare to close our eyes, we didn't dare to worry for a moment, for fear that some wild beast would come out and attack. ”

"Hey, get up. Zhang Youxiong had compassion and stepped forward to support He Xiaoren.

The anger of Zhang Xiaopaw and the others also dispersed, and sixty-one of the sixty-eight people died, which was really pitiful.

"Maybe that's the retribution for doing bad things. Zhang Xiaopaw thought so in his heart.

No one paid attention, and as He Xiaoren narrated, the other six people in Daqiao Village stopped crying one after another, as if they were interrupted by He Xiaoren's words. It stands to reason that they should cry more sadly, but they didn't.

There was still half a pot of bone broth left in the cauldron, which the people of the two villages kept for tomorrow morning, and seeing that He Xiaoren and the seven were hungry, they couldn't help but feel pity, so they filled a bowl for each of them, and gave each of them two corn tortillas.

The seven of them devoured for a while, and in the blink of an eye, they wiped out a bowl of soup and two cakes, but they were not polite, they ran to the side of the cauldron to refill a bowl, and finally simply sat down on the spot around the cauldron, bowl after bowl, half a pot of soup with a few pieces of meat and bones left.

These pieces of meat and bones were not willing to be eaten by the people of the two villages, so they were kept as soup bases.

"Can you give us some dry food, so that we can have the strength to walk back to the village? You know that our village is far away, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, and if there is nothing to fill our stomachs on the road, we will definitely starve to death in the mountains." After eating and drinking, He Xiaoren wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, ran to Zhang Youxiong and asked, not embarrassed at all, as if everything was taken for granted.

Although Zhang Youxiong felt uncomfortable, as the saying goes, a good person will do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since he has already helped, just help to the end, took out more than ten corn tortillas from the ration bag, took a small empty cloth bag, handed it to He Xiaoren, and asked: "What, you have to leave now? Why don't you take a good rest for a while, and wait until dawn before leaving?"

"Well, let's go now. This ghost place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, we don't want to stay any longer for a moment. He Xiaoren and the seven seemed to be overly frightened, and nodded again and again, eager to leave the Black Forest.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Zhuangyuan slapped He Xiaoren's hand away, and this man actually reached out to take out their dry food bags.

"You see so much dry food for you, give us a little more, the seven of us are all wounded, our strength is exhausted, and our bodies urgently need to replenish our strength, how can this corn tortilla be enough, give a little more, give a little more. Do you have any meat bones? The big guys are all villagers, you can't see death and not save it!" He Xiaoren said with a shy face, not knowing the word "ashamed" at all.

"Why don't you come with us? ”

"Yes, let's go together, this Black Forest is too dangerous, full of man-eating beasts. ”

"Let's go together. ”

Several other people in Daqiao Village looked covetous, hoping that the people from Zhangliu and Liu Villages would go with them.

"Hehe, there's a babysitter on the road, can you take care of your stomachs with our dry food?"

"Half a pot of broth, eight or nine pieces of meat and bones, you don't even ask, you eat the bottom. Do you know that it is what we are reluctant to eat and save, and it is our food tomorrow? ”

"Are the people in your village as shameless as you?"

The people of Zhangliu and Liu villages couldn't stand the shamelessness of He Xiaoren's seven people, and couldn't help but scold and ridicule.

He Xiaoren's rare old face flushed, but he was still dissatisfied and muttered: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, why bother to say so ugly." ”

"Boss Zhang, you are doing well, give a little more. That's not enough to eat. He Xiaoren still begged Zhang Youxiong with a back cheek.

Zhang Youxiong sighed helplessly, then took out seven more corn tortillas from the dry food bag, handed them to He Xiaoren and said, "No more." If it's too little, you don't. Walk slowly, don't send it!"

"Hmph!" He Xiaoren snorted unhappily and beckoned to the others: "Let's go, so that people don't have an eyesore." ”

"Isn't it just a pot of broth and a dozen corn tortillas, and when the disaster year is over, we will double it back to them, and we don't owe it to this. ”

"A group of selfish people, who obviously have so much dry food, only give us such a little. ”

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, when they have something to ask us, we will also show them our faces. ”

Seven of them, with great dissatisfaction, muttered and disappeared into the night.

"What is good about this kind of person?" Zhang Youxiong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If it weren't for their pitiful looks, I would have gone up and beaten them up. ”

"I hate it. ”

"This kind of person is a typical white-eyed wolf, if you give him his heart to eat, instead of being grateful to you, he will be worried about eating your liver. So, when you meet this kind of person, you must stay as far away as possible. ”

The people of the two villages could only complain helplessly, and they couldn't be ruthless to take back the tortillas and let He Xiaoren and the seven of them starve to death.

"Angry people, but they still give us very useful information. There are fierce beasts in the depths of the Black Forest, so we must not go deeper. Zhang Youxiong said with a serious expression.

"Yes. Everyone nodded with heavy expressions, there were still seven people left dead in Daqiao Village, and the depths of the Black Forest were really terrifying.

"It's good that we are just doing activities in this periphery, and the materials in the periphery are also very rich, as long as we don't dislike it, don't waste it, and save money, these materials are enough for our two villages to survive this drought." ”

"Tomorrow after dawn, let's go find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, such as a cave or something, build a base area, and in case we encounter a beast attack, we will hide in it. ”

"Good idea. ”

......

He Xiaoren and the seven people followed the direction pointed by Zhang Youxiong to the exit, and the seven people walked in a hurry, tripped and fell on a branch from time to time, but after getting up, they still strode quickly, as if there was a ghost chasing behind them.

"Uncle He, why didn't you tell them that we were besieged by wolves?" After walking far away, the youngest teenager among the seven suddenly asked curiously, they were obviously attacked and pursued by a group of wolves, but He Xiaoren told the people in Zhangliu and Liu villages that they were attacked by tigers and leopards, and he didn't understand what there was to lie about after thinking about it for a long time.

He Xiaoren snorted coldly and said, "If we tell them that we are being targeted by wolves, will they dare to take us in? ”

"I see. The young man suddenly realized, but immediately made a bitter face, swept the darkness around him, and couldn't help but shudder, "I don't know if those wolves will catch up again?"

"Haha, don't worry, it won't. The wolf cubs were secretly left in the camp of the two villages of Zhangliu by me, and the wolves must soon find them. By the time the wolves finish dealing with them, we'll be back to the village long ago. He Xiaoren said happily.

"What wolf cub?" asked the older He Qiguang with a frown.

"Haha, nothing. He Qiguang haha.

How do you know that He Qiguang suddenly became angry, and he threw He Xiaoren to the ground, and according to He Xiaoren's face, he punched him twice, gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "He Xiaoren, you explain to Lao Tzu plainly, what does the wolf cub mean? Did you steal the wolf cub, so the wolves will chase after us?"
