"I'm back, I'm back!" Before he arrived at the entrance of the village, he heard the voice of Qin Qing's eleven-year-old brother Qin Hu.

As his name suggests, the Qin Tiger people are tiger-headed, naughty and tight, go up the tree to catch birds, go down to the river to fish, and steal the neighbor's melons and fruits by the way. He is much stronger and taller than the children of the same age, and he is the child king of the village.

He is now leading a group of little children to run to Qin Wang's ox cart, although the small faces of a group of children are salallow with hunger, but they can't hide their innocence at all, the only thing that hunger and death have not affected is probably this group of carefree children.

"Forget my brother, these are all food?" Qin Hu touched the grain bag and raised his little head expectantly and asked excitedly.

The other children couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they heard the word food, and their eyes were also firmly fixed on the grain on the ox cart, for fear that they would suddenly run away.

It seems that in the past three days, the village has finally run out of water, and even these most precious little dolls are starving like this, Qin Forget can't believe what the situation in the village is now. Maybe a few more families starved to death, maybe Aunt Xiu, Aunt Duan, Aunt Shi, and even Qin Qing all starved to death, right?

Thinking of this, he eagerly grabbed Qin Hu's thin arm and asked in a panic, "Qin Hu, you tell my brother, how are the adults in the village doing now?" ”

The slightly hideous expression obviously frightened Qin Hu, so that this little demon king, who had never been afraid of heaven and earth, did not dare to make a sound, and the other children were even more frightened, no one dared to talk, and they all looked at Qin Forget timidly like frightened little quails.

"The adults don't go out anymore, they all lie on the bed and don't move, forget my brother, are they all sick?" A small voice next to him replied weakly.

Qin Forget turned his face to see that it was Qin Yun, the eight-year-old grandson of Aunt Qin, who starved to death at the head of the village, who was usually the most shy and afraid of people, and everyone in the village laughed at him and called him Yun Girl. In the past, Aunt Qin also happily said that she had a grandson and a granddaughter, and the family was complete. Unexpectedly, this cloud girl is still quite bold at the critical moment.

"Good little cloud, good job." Qin Forget didn't know why he was praising Qin Yun, anyway, he couldn't think much about it in a panic.

"Yang Da Yang Er, don't be stupid, I'll take the cow, you hurry up and push the cart. If you don't leave, you'll be fucking starving! Qin Wangzhen panicked, he who had been well-educated since he was a child, actually burst into a foul language.

Ox carts drove into the village like a wind, and the children had already scattered to spread the news. Qin Forget didn't have time to check on the situation in the village, no matter what the situation was, he had to hurry up and make good food, and save a few if he could.

He found a cauldron that usually scalded wild things, and went down with more than 20 catties of rice, Yang Dayang was busy helping on the side, but the three big men were unsuccessful, only to see the smoke and no fire. Aunt Yang, who was so anxious that she commanded next to her, scolded Yang Da Yang Er so much that she was squirting blood.

"Brother Forget, let's come." Qin Wang, who was busy, suddenly heard a weak and gentle voice, Qin Wang turned around, and saw Aunt Xiu, Aunt Duan, Aunt Shi, the old village chief and Qin Qing standing behind him, all of them were not missing, but they were all weak, standing there and swinging, as if they could faint at any time. Everyone's eyes were red, and the newly widowed Cuilian sister-in-law and several of their young women were already covering their mouths and sobbing softly.

At this moment, no one in Qinjia Village took care of the food, although they were hungry and could starve to death the next moment, but no one looked at the life-saving food in the cauldron, and even the children who were playing quieted down. Everyone is grateful to this little man who is only 14 years old for everyone's birth and death, and his dedication touches everyone. They trusted Qin Wang, Qin Forget went to Chicheng for a few days, they believed that he would come back with food, which may be the reason why no one starved to death in the past three days.

"It's nice that everybody's here." Qin Forget looked at everyone's worries about him, his heart was very warm, and he laughed happily.

"Poof!" I don't know who suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud and ruined the atmosphere, everyone laughed when they looked at Qin Wang's face, and even the old village chief, who had always been old-fashioned and serious, couldn't help but stroke his beard, "hehe" and laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit. The children laughed the most unscrupulously, jumping and jumping while laughing, clapping their hands and shouting: "Forget my brother and become a big cat, forget my brother and become a big cat!" ”

"You kid, where is this work you can do, go and rest." Aunt Xiu lovingly reached out to wipe the pot ash from Qin Wang's face, and pushed Qin Wang aside.

This night was the happiest night in Qinjia Village, and people drank porridge happily and tasted a taste that they hadn't tasted for more than half a year. Although it is very poor brown rice, it is tantamount to a delicious delicacy for the people of Qinjia Village now.

Qin Forget looked at all this with satisfaction, if it weren't for him, these lovely relatives would have turned into corpses in a few days, which made him feel extremely proud. Looking at those children who were playing, thinking of their stiff and curled bodies in the snow, Qin Wang felt a shudder.

You can't let that happen, no matter what the cost you pay.

He swore in his heart.

But why? Why is it so hard to eat a full meal? Which Qinjia village people don't hunt, fish, and gather all year round, and the food harvested every year is said to be enough to feed the three Qinjia villages, why did it become like this?

"Brother Forget, what do you want?" Just as Qin Forget was pondering, the old village chief walked up to him with a slight tremble and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, why can we still starve to death in Qinjia Village, we are working hard in Qinjia Village." Qin Forget said gloomily.

"Alas, it's not a war yet." The old village chief sighed heavily, "Since the founding of Dayan, it has not stopped, and in the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the hateful Qi people took advantage of Dayan's unstable foothold and killed it. With 500,000 soldiers and horses across the country, they vowed to destroy our Yan Kingdom. How could the imperial court sit still? also did the nation's troops, and finally blocked the Qi people. But our Dayan is not very comfortable, I heard that six or seven hundred thousand people died, and the taxes from various places were received fifty years ago, if it were not for the lack of food at home, so many people would not have starved to death in these snows in recent years. Qin Laohuai shook his head as he spoke.

"But I think there are still a lot of rich people in the county." Qin Forget said suspiciously.

"Hey! Those people! Qin Laohuai sneered, "Either the corrupt officials in the county, or the landlords and businessmen who have a relationship with them, these people are especially hateful." Let's just say that our Chicheng County Magistrate Huang Ling Huang is a fat man, that is one of the best corrupt officials. Originally, the hunters in Qinjia Village had to pay a tax of five sheepskins per ding, which was a lot, and as soon as he took office, he directly added it to eight, how can we afford it? can only be deducted with other skins, his mother's is twice as low, two wolf skins are lower than one sheepskin, how can you say such a reason! The more Qin Laohuai thought about it, the more angry he became, and he scolded.

Huang Ling! Yellow Fatty! Qin Forget clenched his fists hatefully. Thinking of today's encounter, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road", the current Qin Forget seems to have touched the pulse of this era.

"Village Chief, you said that in such a world, if we want to live, can we only rebel against this damn court?" Qin Forget suddenly said in a shocking voice.

These words frightened Qin Laohuai so much that he almost jumped up, he looked around in a panic, and found that no one was paying attention to this side before he relieved his heart, "What nonsense are you talking about, do you know that just because of your words, our whole village will die!" After saying that, he still wiped his cold sweat in shock.

"I'm just talking about it casually, and I'm going to scare you." Qin Forget chuckled lightly and said pretending not to care.

Qin Laohuai looked at Qin Forget suspiciously, he was really worried that Qin Forget would do something out of the ordinary. But he thought about it again, no matter what Qin Forget said, he was just a fourteen-year-old child, his mouth was not strong, and it was inevitable that he didn't know the severity of what he said.

"Why do you say anything, kid? If this word gets out, will it be worth it? Qin Laohuai glared at Qin Forget complainingly, "This person is cheap, as long as he can have a bite to eat, he will not go down that road." Didn't you see that so many people in the county starved to death and there was no rebellion? But then again, I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person, this person, life is more important than anything else. Brother Wang, I know that you are capable, but I still want to warn you, no matter when you don't take that road, you can't turn back if you go down that road. ”

"Village chief, I understand what you said, but this world does not change, when will we be the head of such a day?" Qin Forget said unconvinced.

Qin Laohuai, who asked this, was speechless, he thought about it carefully, he had lived for more than sixty years, and it seemed that he had not even lived a good day.

"Brother Wang, you have experienced such a tragic thing repeatedly, and you will inevitably have resentment in your heart, and you are not to blame for this. But have you thought about it? If you did go down that path, how many people would die because of you? Look at them。。。。。。 Qin Laohuai pointed to the happy crowd not far away, "They will all fall to the ground because of you, have you ever been able to bear it?" ”

Qin Wang's fingers looked at Qin Laohuai, where all the old and weak women and children of Qinjia Village were gathered, the adults drank the gruel in their hands with satisfaction, and the children ran around happily, and after a few months of dead silence, the village finally had a glimmer of life.

Suddenly, in Qin Wang's eyes, everyone stopped moving, their heads fell off their necks one after another, rolling around on the ground, Aunt Xiu, Aunt Shi, Qin Qing, and Qin Hu's group of unrestrained children, all of them were spared, and blood gushes out from their necks like a fountain of blood. This strange scene frightened Qin Wang's spirit into a cold shiver.

"Forget brother, you have to remember that we all have a hard time surviving, and we must not die easily. I'm old, and I don't have a few days left to live, and I can't see how high and far you'll fly in the future. In the future, if you have enough strength, or if you really can't survive, I have no objection to you taking that path. But until then, you'd better rot that thought in your stomach and not even think about it. Qin Laohuai could see that Qin Forget had listened, and nodded with satisfaction, "If you want to change this world, you have to take it step by step, and you must not take even one wrong step!" ”

Qin Laohuai's figure was getting farther and farther away, and his old words were really like a hammer that woke Qin Forget up. During this period of time, Qin Forget had accumulated too much resentment in his heart, and it was easy to go to the point of no return, but now he slowly calmed down.

"Take your time, take your time, and start all over again tonight." Qin Forget muttered to himself and secretly made a decision.
