536 Famine and Spiritual Fountain 12
The proprietress muttered: "Where did the hundreds of lives come from, the road has been blocked for so long, even if the village inside hadn't been washed away by the water, those people should have starved to death......"
Xiao Er scratched his head and raised a bar: "That's not necessarily, maybe there is a lot of food hidden at home, and it can last until the imperial court opens the mountain to rescue them." ”
"Well, I hope so...... I don't believe the statement that the earth dragon turned over, since I opened a tea shed here, I have never made trouble in 30 years......"
"That's not it, I'll just say he's talking nonsense." Xiao Er echoed.
It's rare enough to make a flood in this big cow mountain, and then a earth dragon will turn over? What are the odds, it's just bad luck.
The two exchanged words in a whisper, and the old Taoist in front didn't take a few sips of tea in the end, put down the copper coin and left with a heavy heart.
……
At the same time, Huangjia Village in the mountains is holding its second village meeting.
As soon as Huang Aren told him what he heard in the mountain temple, the old son of the clan, who was chasing after him with red eyes and was about to beat him, couldn't help but stop, turned around and asked Daddy what to do.
I have to say that Huang Aren's words are in line with the wishes of several clan elders - they are planning to call on everyone to contribute food and efforts together to dig this road alive.
If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, the words of a few of them may be able to convince everyone, but when it comes to this serious shortage of food, they add up to a few bad old men, and their words have not much weight, fortunately......
The clan elder cried with joy, fortunately, the mountain god opened the golden mouth, and now everyone finally has a way to live!
Huang Aren brought them good news, and he no longer cared about this matter of grabbing tribute in later life, and began to discuss with everyone to raise food.
"Every family has to hand over all their rations?" One of the villagers was surprised and asked, "Then what are we going to eat ourselves?!" ”
The clan elders have repeatedly said that when the food is raised together, they will take care of it together, and they will definitely not be greedy for ink, so as to ensure that everyone has something to eat.
But there are always villagers who don't believe it, some hesitate, and some are noisy.
Huang Ah Yan threw a brick.
After the loud noise attracted everyone's attention, he pointed to the sky with a smile and said, "The mountain god said that he can see clearly how much rations are hidden in someone's house and where they are hidden!" If someone deliberately fails to pay it, or does not pay it completely, his old man will expose it first, and then he will be severely punished! ”
The crowd was dumbfounded for a while, and someone muttered: "What's the matter, you still have to search house to house?" ”
Huang Aren raised the name of the mountain god, and the opposition was significantly less, but there were still a few villagers who were unwilling.
Because some people are like Ah Xiu, they obviously don't even have a grain of grain left. In this case, they have to use the rations that they themselves are not enough to eat, to help some people who have no relatives and no reason and have not contributed, of course, they feel uncomfortable.
If you think that some of these rations have to be distributed to people like Huang Aren, it is even more unpleasant.
Hearing the phrase "door-to-door search", the two men in the crowd immediately changed their faces, they looked at each other, and their feet retreated.
Huang Aren has always been idle, his eyes wandered everywhere, and when he saw this scene, he shouted: "Hey, they want to run!" Stop them! ”
He rushed up to block the road first, and laughed: "What's the matter, as soon as you hear that you want to pay food, you want to leave, you rush home and go to hide the rations?" ”
One sentence caused a strong reaction, and the villagers surrounded these men with unkind expressions.
This is the son of Huang Laoliu's family, who did not split up when he became an adult, and the brothers lived together in the house left by his father. On top of that, they all participated in digging the road, so the village gave his family a lot of food before.
"That's right! His family got the most rations, and he must have wanted to go back and hide it! ”
"What nonsense! My family is all pot-bellied, and I have to sell my strength to work for you during the day, and how can I eat that little bit of food, which is long gone! A man argued with his neck stilted.
The younger one answered, "That's it, I'm still hungry." ”
The villagers are not easy to fool.
Someone said: "You also used your brains before you talked nonsense, who do you want to fool, who do you want to eat now?" Look at you guys again! ”
And they looked closely at the appearance of their brothers:
The ragged clothes wrapped around the stout body, all of them were full of energy, especially the boss who was arguing just now, and there was a faint red light on his face, as if he had just participated in the feast!
It's really not like what they themselves say about "not having enough to eat".
"Don't talk nonsense with them, won't you go to his house and see?"
Seeing the villagers outside walking in the direction of his house, the boss panicked, clenched his fists and was about to rush out of the crowd, and the youngest one directly pushed and shoved, which strengthened the villagers' suspicions, and they had to go to see it.
When the group arrived near the house, they found that the second child of his family was digging a pit at the back of the house, and the third child was holding a wooden basin, pouring the contents of the basin into it, and was about to bury it.
"That's a bone!"
"They actually have meat to eat!"
At first, everyone thought that the family was lucky to hunt an animal on the mountain, and subconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, very envious.
Until they found a set of familiar coarse cloth clothes and headbands in the firewood room.
There are also two ...... that are soaked in the well water Arm......
……
"Gross!"
How envious they were for eating meat just now, now when I think of the truth, I feel how disgusting.
Suddenly, a female villager threw herself on the suit and began to cry, "Jinbao! That's my treasure! ”
The villagers were in an uproar.
Not long after, they dug out a pile of bones in the ground behind the house, and there was a stinky human head, and after wiping off the soil, they recognized their facial features, and sure enough, it was Huang Jinbao.
Huang Jinbao's daughter-in-law almost fainted from crying.
Her youngest son was brought over, and the child was not sensible and could not lie, and would say whatever he asked.
He said that his father was not at home these days.
The last time I went out, my dad said that he was going to get them something to eat, and he wanted to get fragrant meat to eat.
The faces of the villagers changed one after another.
Some people also ran to Huang Jinbao's house to search to see if anyone else had also been victimized, but fortunately they were not found.
When the clan elder heard that such a thing had happened in the village, he was so angry that he trembled all over his body, and he called it evil.
Everyone sent Huang Jinbao's daughter-in-law and the rest of the clothes home, and suddenly someone said: "No, didn't Huang Jinbao raise a white and pure little girl at home before, why wasn't she there?" ”
Jinbao's daughter-in-law's crying stopped for a moment, and then howled more and more sadly, as if she was deliberately bypassing something.
"Xiaobao, uncle asked you something, has your family eaten meat recently?" The old son of the clan asked solemnly.
Xiaobao shook his head ignorantly.
He didn't know what was going on, only that his father took the young lady away when he left.
But Huang Jinbao was filled with his stomach by that inhuman brother, so the little girl he took out of the house seemed to be unable to escape this catastrophe, alas......
"Oh no, the four brothers, they grabbed things and ran!"
