After praising his nephew, Uncle Huo remembered the group fight, put down his face, and looked at everyone: "What's going on?" There are still people who talk about the surname Niu and the surname Huo! Last year's year was not good, first there was a great drought, and then a great epidemic, the village was full of 36 households, 199 people, the dead died, and those who fled, and these individuals were left in front of them, who should be watching and helping each other, and why did they still work desperately? ”

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman pulled a young man with a shrunken head and shrunk his head out, and said sharply: "Uncle, the Niu family is not a thing, Niu Dalang is even more stabbed, hungry and crazy to beg for food, and bullied our orphans and widows, look at the one who beats us at the age of 100, uncle, you have to make the decision for our mother!" ”

The young man had just been ridden and beaten, seventeen or eighteen years old, grinning and bruised.

A man in his thirties walked out of the crowd, limping and annoyed: "Uncle Huo, is it mine, the family has run out of food, and I have been hungry for several meals...... The hundred-year-old brother said, this pig belongs to the Huo family, only for the Huo family to eat, and if it is thrown away, it will not be eaten by our Niu family, and let us get out, don't drool and dirty the ground at the door, and say that the big girl in my family is not happy, so I ......am in a hurry."

"What's wrong with what I'm talking about? After a year of famine, who still has surplus food? Our family is still hungry, of course this Huo family's pig can be eaten by our Huo family, where is your turn to beg for food? ”

The woman sneered: "Let's talk about a girl again, like a baby, after picking this and that family, now she died of illness before she went out, and became a lonely ghost, and she couldn't even eat incense. ”。

Without waiting for the man to reply, Huo Wu scolded the woman angrily: "Let go of your mother's stinky shit!" Lao Tzu's pig, forced you to confiscate in two sentences? Who to eat or not to say that Lao Tzu has the final say, we Xiaobao have the final say, when will it be your little rabbit's turn to call the shots?! ”

Speaking of this, he scolded the man again: "Bastard, it's hard to be like this, why didn't you come over and talk to your fifth uncle earlier?" After a while, the pig was killed, and everyone ate the meat and ate it openly! Don't worry about food, there is still a bucket and a half of millet at home, and when you finish eating pork, everyone will divide it, first top two meals, and tomorrow call someone to the town to ask, how expensive it is to buy two stone grains first, folks in the township, who can watch everyone starve to death! ”

reprimanded, scolded the woman so much that she didn't dare to reply, and the man who also scolded had red eyes, knelt down with a "poof", and said "bang" to Huo Wu is a few rings.

The other people surnamed Niu also knelt and kowtowed.

"What is this for? Get up! Get up! Huo Wu helped the man up while beckoning the rest of the Niu family to get up.

Here, Huo Wucai pulled up the man, and over there, "Puff Tong" and "Puff Pass" knelt down two more, they were the two teenagers who had stood by and watched the group beating of the two surnames before.

"Little bunny, what a mess! It's not that it's very comfortable to watch the excitement, roll the edge! Huo Wu saw it and blackened his face.

Kiss or not, people with the same surname, just two surnames fought, women and children all did it, only the brothers didn't do it, of course Huo Wu couldn't see it.

This older brother is a fool who doesn't know anything, so he can only scold this little one.

The thin boy choked up and said: "Fifth grandfather, now the food is expensive, and our brothers are all in Ding, when the door is supported, but if there is a way, the grandson has no face to speak, the family has long been broken, and this half moon is supported by the wild vegetable roots found in the field and the bamboo rats on the mountain." But after half a year of drought, there was nothing left of the wild vegetable roots, even in the bamboo forest for a month and a half, only two palm-sized bamboo rats were caught, which was not enough to stuff the teeth. I beg the fifth grandfather to see the grandfather's love for his grandson's departure, and also help his grandson! ”

This young man is a member of the Huo clan, and his grandfather is nominally a cousin of Huo Wu and Uncle Huo, but he is actually a drag oil bottle that was remarried with his mother, not the bloodline of the Huo family.

This is also the reason why the boy will be out of food for a month, and he has no confidence to come to the door to ask for food with his foolish brother who has difficulty surviving.

In this year, food is life, borrowing food is life, without that friendship, it is boring to open your mouth.

Huo Wu kicked and scolded: "Bastard, don't roll up for Lao Tzu, don't your brother be surnamed Huo?" Or did you not go to the grave of your ancestors during the New Year's holidays? Folks, Lao Tzu helps, can you still ignore the Huo family? And the face to mention your grandfather? No one is slow to treat you, but you think of yourself as a foreigner! If it weren't for the fact that you still knew how to take care of your stupid brother, and he didn't starve to death until today, even if he had a little conscience, Lao Tzu would have knocked you to death directly! ”

The thin young man's face was full of tears, but he refused to get up immediately, pulled the foolish brother, and kowtowed to Huo Wu three times.

This time, the people who knelt were other people surnamed Huo.

People have long hearts, and no one is a natural white-eyed wolf.

Now that the food is exhausted and there is no way to borrow, Huo Wu promised everyone not a few mouthfuls of meat and a few liters of rice, but a life.

Regardless of the surname Huo or Niu, the men all had red eyes, and several women couldn't help crying.

This year, everyone's life has been too hard.

Even Uncle Huo couldn't help but cry, losing his wife, son, and grandson one after another, if he didn't hold up with his heart, the old man wouldn't be able to survive.

The sound of crying and sobbing in the courtyard, except for the four people in the two rooms of the Huo family, there was no one standing anymore.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and people's livelihood is difficult.

The small mountain village that used to be peaceful and peaceful is now lifeless.

God will always rain and famine will pass, but the death of relatives cannot be reversed.

Thinking of the hard-working and loving mother who regards herself as the root of her life, Huo Bao's heart is also like a knife, but when he heard his father's cough, he didn't dare to let him continue to blow the wind, so he stepped forward to persuade Uncle Huo: "Uncle, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the days will always be good." Everyone has an empty stomach, so let's hurry up and kill the pig to eat! ”

Uncle Huo wiped his face and said, "Yes, the ancestors bless, get through it, just wait until it rains." ”

Huo Wu also waved his hand to everyone and said: "Go back to each house to get things, there are no tables, no stools, no bowls and no chopsticks, wait for the meat to be roasted and use your claws to fish!" ”

One time less, there are few people at the gate of the Huo family.

Except for Uncle Huo's grandson and Huo Wu's father and son, only Niu Dalang didn't leave, and he limped over to make amends.

This person had red eyes when he hit people before, and he was grabbed by Huo Bao and thrown out, and he didn't know why he fell with gold stars. It wasn't until someone whispered it that he realized that he had almost injured Huo Wu.

Huo Wu was more accountant, waved his hand and sent him away.

This will be kung fu, Uncle Huo saw the tiles in his grandson's arms, frowned and said, "This is the tiles on the roof of our family's east wing?" What did it do, waste things! ”

Shi Han smiled silently, and Huo Bao hurriedly said: "Uncle, it is the tile that I asked for with Shishi." I remembered a cough remedy, treated with pig gall cannon, moistened the lungs and coughed, just to my father's symptoms, I went to shout the stone before I remembered that the tiles were used in the concoction, and I forgot to say it to the uncle first. ”

"Xiaobao killed pigs for pig gall?" Uncle Huo's expression was a little complicated.

"Well, there are also pig lungs, which can also be boiled to moisten the lungs."

"Good boy, good boy, sensible!" Uncle Huo greeted the stone: "Your fifth uncle gave up the meat, our family can't watch it, go home and get food." ”

Seeing that the grandson was gone, Huo Bao helped his father back to the house.

Huo Wu heard the reason why his son wanted to kill the pig, and his heart was sour and sour, and he had already softened into a puddle of water.

Bao Da mother, have you seen it, our Bao'er is not in vain.

Others say that we shouldn't be used to children, but good children are not bad!

Huo Bao is Nahan, Fang Cai's arrogance, hard mouth and soft heart, and it is the father who bears the life and death of more than a dozen people and is the "holy father"?

Before that, which one warned himself twice or three times, "Good people don't live long, but disasters live for thousands of years"? Several examples were also given.

Among those who fought just now, there were examples that Huo Wu had mentioned.

They were all torn and beaten by their own families, and the two women who grabbed their hair and scratched their faces were both members of the Huo family, and the other two beat each other, and it was the Niu family who beat each other until their faces were covered in blood.

The two women of the Huo family are two concubines, the younger one is a widow with a posthumous son, and the other is her sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law had no children, and the husband and wife treated the posthumous nephew as a son; This widow became more and more lazy and lazy, and kept gnawing on the flesh and blood of her brother and sister-in-law to live.

Last year, during the epidemic, the widow was sick, and the widow did not dare to get close to her, so the eldest brother went to take care of it, but the nephew recovered, and he did not survive the illness.

It is not uncommon for relatives and concubines to become enemies, and it is not uncommon for them to fight.

The Niu family fought those two, and they were also blood relatives, because of food.

The eldest was an old gangster, with a high seniority, who was idle, and when the famine first appeared, he "took precautions", relying on the old and selling the old to find all kinds of excuses, and borrowed food from several relatives.

The young man's father and mother were the nephews of the old gangster, and they were the most loyal and kind, and even borrowed the most food and was coaxed away.

Later, when other people's families ran out of food, this old gangster was still eating and drinking.

The young man was not angry and brought his younger siblings over to ask for food.

This old gangster refused to admit to borrowing food, only saying that he had earned filial piety by his ability, and he had already eaten it in his stomach and turned into, and whoever was worried about it would go directly to the dung pit in the backyard.

Now the old gangster is still alive and well, but his loyal nephew is ruined, and only the young man is left in the house.

This is also why the juniors beat the elders, and everyone turned a blind eye, and no one said a word.

Huo Wu told his son what happened to the two families and told his son that if he wants to live well, he must learn to be hard-hearted.

In the peaceful years, he is in a high position, has the ability to protect himself, can pity the poor and the weak, and be a great benevolent person; In times of unevenness, good people either die by themselves or are killed by others.

In this world, there is no room for good people.
