Xiao Ju guessed that her mother heard the screams of the guards in the Hu family's compound before they were killed by the influx of food grabbers, otherwise how could she panic like this? Therefore, it was up to De Niang to drag her towards home.

Xiao Juniang didn't slow down until she ran away from Hu Zhuang and only heard the gunshots coming from the Hu family's compound, but she couldn't hear the screams of people anymore, and when she saw the lights from the cave where she lived along the mountain road.

Xiao Ju Niang gasped and said, "Xiao Ju, we will never go to this kind of thing in the future!" It's not my mother's this time, I didn't expect that I would die if I grabbed food! ”

"Mother, you don't think that everyone can grab the food of the Hu Dong family, right?" When Xiaoju heard her mother's words, she felt funny.

"Not really! I just think that Hu Dong's family is very good, and when so many of us go to his house to borrow food, maybe for the sake of the villagers, we will lend it to everyone! Unexpectedly, there were still people with guns guarding the compound! Xiao Ju Niang sighed as she spoke.

"Mother, obviously I was planning to rob it, and I said it so nicely, borrow food! Be a fool! I don't know if Hu Dongjia is a good person, but if someone else comes to rob me of my things, I will definitely not be willing or unwilling! Xiao Ju pursed her mouth and said with some disdain.

"That's right! Alas, never do such stupid things again! Wait a few days, let's go to the county to see, if it's safe, stay in the small courtyard and don't go back to Huzhuang, by the way, you can also grow some food in the courtyard! Xiao Ju Niang listened to Xiao Ju's words and was silent for a while before speaking.

Xiao Ju didn't go against the grain now, from tonight's food grabbing incident, she had a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. You know, people from evil to good has to go a long way, and from good to evil is only one step away, now the people of Huzhuang have taken the first step in order to survive, with the further deepening of the famine, she believes that the cannibalism will happen sooner or later.

After returning to the cave, the two of them were not in the mood to wash up as usual before going to bed, but hurriedly locked the gate and blew the lamp to bed. Zhuang Zhuang couldn't wait for a long time, and he was already sleeping in a corner of the bed, and he didn't even know that his mother and sister were back.

Xiao Ju didn't know if her mother was asleep, anyway, she couldn't fall asleep, as soon as she closed her eyes, the people who grabbed food in the Hu family's compound were crazy and chased the guards inside to the death, and there were Huzhuang villagers everywhere who were so excited that they lost their normality. And the villagers who were fighting each other over food, and she even saw Peach Blossom and her family among them. This kind of madness is the most fundamental reason for Xiaoju to go home early.

But the impact of the scene she saw today on Xiao Ju's heart was huge, she never thought that in a specific environment, people would become so unrecognizable, completely different from what she had seen in the past.

Tossing and turning all night, almost in the morning, Xiao Ju fell asleep in a daze. When I opened my eyes, I saw the bright cave, and I was shocked, why didn't my mother call her today? Is it possible that you don't have to dig wild vegetables? She casually glanced into the cave, but did not see Niang and Zhuangzhuang, and then pricked up her ears, and heard the sound of Niang and Zhuang Zhuang talking outside the cave.

Her somewhat flustered heart settled down, I don't know what happened, since she came to this era, she has been particularly insecure. I am especially afraid that the people around me will have an accident, and then I will be left alone to face this era of thousands of holes.

When Xiao Ju Niang was holding the wild vegetable paste, she saw Xiao Ju sitting on the bed, not only with a kind of loneliness, but also with a very good look, thinking that she was scared by last night's incident, and felt distressed and blamed herself, "Xiao Ju, my mother boiled wild vegetable corn paste, and even Zhuang Zhuang said it was delicious!" Get up and eat! ”

"Mother, I don't know what happened to the food grab last night? Are Hu Tian and the people of the Peach Blossom family just like us, who didn't go to grab food and came back quietly? Xiaoju asked while taking the wild vegetable corn paste handed over by her mother.

"I don't know! Hurry up and eat, let's go and have a look when you're done! Xiao Ju Niang saw that Xiao Ju had been holding the bowl for a long time and did not move, and urged.

"Sister, you're so lazy today, I got up early, and I cleaned the wild vegetables for breakfast today!" Zhuang Zhuang popped his head out from behind Xiao Ju Niang and laughed at Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju was not in any mood at this time to tease Zhuang Zhuang, she ate the paste in the bowl in a few bites, and then got out of bed and got some water to wash it.

Xiao Ju Niang was inexplicably looked at by Xiao Ju, and subconsciously reached out and touched her face, "Ju'er, is there something dirty on my mother's face that hasn't been washed off?" And Zhuang Zhuang laughed at Sister A, and when he saw Sister A's stern face staring at him, he was hiding behind his mother with some trepidation. What's wrong with Sister today? Usually he laughs at Sister A, but Sister Ah is always smiling.

"Mother, look at me and Zhuangzhuang, and then think about the appearance of Peach Blossom and Hu Tian, don't you think there is anything wrong with our family of three?" Xiao Ju said solemnly.

Xiao Ju Niang pondered for a while, her face gradually began to turn pale, and she said in a little panic: "Xiao Ju, this is over!" The people in the village are all thin like that, but our mother is not only not thin, but also looks so good! Thinking of the crowd grabbing grain in the wheat field last night and the screams coming from the Huzhuang compound, her mind began to fog.

"Mother, don't panic! Except for the contact with Hu Tian and the people of the Peach Blossom family, everyone else in the village ignored it. In addition, the place where we live is partial, and there are no people in the village nearby!

Usually our hair has not been carefully combed, it is messy, but it covers part of the face, and no one should have noticed the strangeness of the three of us. What's more, our family also goes to the mountains every day to dig wild vegetables! It doesn't make people wonder for a while! But in the future, we will pay attention, and in the future, the daily washing will be canceled! At this time, how can you talk about cleanness! Xiao Ju looked at her mother's panicked look and hurriedly comforted. In fact, she was also a little uneasy in her heart, I don't know if it was really as she analyzed, and no one noticed that the three of her family were different from the people of Hu Zhuang for the time being.

"Xiaoju, first get some ash and paint your face, so that people can't see your face clearly! Later, we will go to Hu Tian and Taohua's house to have a look, no matter what the situation is, I have decided to leave for the county seat tomorrow! Xiao Ju Niang listened to Xiao Ju's words, although she was not so flustered, but she had the idea of leaving Hu Zhuang. Last night's experience made her feel strange and afraid of the people of Huzhuang.

Xiao Ju didn't object, not to mention that this is the only way to cover it up at the moment. She followed her mother out of the cave with her hands and feet, and dug up the ashes from the stove, and first smeared her strong face dirty, so that she could no longer see her original complexion. Then I used the same method to get my face right.

Xiao Ju Niang looked at a pair of children who no longer looked ruddy and healthy, and her heart was slightly relieved. After her face was also treated, the door of the cave was locked, and then she walked towards Peach Blossom's house with a pair of children.

It may be that they grabbed the food last night, and on the way to Taohua's house, Xiaoju and the others could see the Huzhuang people living in the cave busy in front of their cave door, and at the same time, they could also hear the long-lost laughter and the sound of children's fighting, and all the way, the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of wild vegetables and a faint wheat cake.
