Chapter 43 We Will No More Hunger

I looked at them, I can't talk about how much I love them, because I can't love any of the weak, but they are friends who have survived together for 18 years, they are part of the orphanage, no, my cat nine is going to survive, I must survive, no matter what method is used.

has reached the situation of not having enough to eat, in order to search for a little food, the main ghost brother in the courtyard often walks far away, and several times does not return to the courtyard all night. We all know that he went out over the mountains in search of food, and sometimes he was lucky enough to hunt a rabbit; Sometimes it's a few sweet potatoes or a few wild fruits; Sometimes digging holes in the snow is so tired that I can only catch three or two mice. He has really paid a lot for me and the gang of cowards behind him.

All of them were emaciated to the point that their shoulder blades were propped up, and they were all skinny and skinny.

Pony Six and Five Donkey also join the food war, and if there is a chicken shed left unattended on the side of the road, they can easily sneak in. But this year, chickens are more precious than phoenixes, and every family is tightly protected, as long as they dare to get close to the chicken coop ten meters, the villagers come out of the house with iron tools in their hands, and if they don't make a good mess and let the villagers beat them violently, they will be smart and immediately turn around and flee.

In the near night, everyone slept, and Pony Six came back with Ah Wu donkey on his back, calling for the formation of heaven and earth. When I came out of the room, Ah Wu Donkey timidly showed me a leg that had been injured by a stick, and his eyes showed severe pain.

"Sister Cat, when we slipped past the oil shop owner's pig shed, I realized, chickens."

I had tears in my eyes, these bastards were stupid and lazy, and if they could risk their lives, they would have the idea of unity.

Everyone gathered around, crying and mourning.

"Sister Cat, are we going to starve to death, I haven't grown taller all year round." The four chickens are crying and crying.

"Shut up! I won't starve. But I'll get the money someday, there's always a way. I looked at everyone, "One day, when we grow vegetables and melons in the spring of the next year, we will raise chickens and pigs, we will have a lot of food, we will not starve again, we will take out more food to buy, we will have a lot of money, then we will no longer be hungry and cold, our home will not be better and better, we will all dress well, eat chicken feet every day, eat pork belly soup every day, eat a bowl, throw a bowl, happy!" ”

Everyone was excited for a while, and their eyes looked sleepwalking. The ghost brother was still staring at me gloomily, it was indeed an invisible and extravagant target, I met his gaze, and he saw that it was a flame of anger burning in my eyes, obviously he was doubting my ability and luck, and he quickly lowered his head and looked at his hand, embarrassed.

Although this orphanage has too many painful memories for all of us, it is also the place where we grew up, even if we are poor, poor, and boring, it is our roots.

It has rained for several days, the house is cold and damp, since yesterday, the sweet potatoes have been deprived, and the ghost brother's hunting activities have found nothing, and a group of people have nervous and hungry faces, silently asking me to eat; Eating white radishes that were rotten or not yet ripe made everyone scared and diarrhea. However, Ah Wu Donkey's leg did not seek medical attention in time, and the high fever continued, which made it worse.

The most lethal are the bandits who have infiltrated the village. They attacked the villagers, the fields were set on fire, the throats of the disobedient villagers were cut and chopped into meat sauce, and all kinds of rumors worried the villagers.

Today, there is only a basket of wild vegetables left in the orphanage, and we are crowded around the mud in the courtyard, and we are sitting in a small open space, high and low, light and dark, which is our assembly.

Xiao Ma Liu first gave me a smile that opened the sky to the sky: "Mao Jiu, in this way, you see if it's okay, a group of us went to Shanghai to find the young master, he has always been very kind to you, you are our boss, boss!" ”

Pig Head San looked at me with a saliva smile on his face, Ah Wu Donkey joined the saliva camp, followed by a group, and I faced 9 big pig-head smiles with no heart and no brain.

My toes and slaps beckoned up to Ma Liu at the same time, with both hands on my hips, and one foot resting on the stone ridge: "I went to him when I was crazy, Tai Chi Yin and Yang, gossip and Qiankun, the world is big, there is a way to live, what is lacking has to be asked for by yourself, and you have to earn it yourself when you open this mouth!" What is called rather being a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Break out a great future that belongs to us! Whoever you love, the door is open! ”

Everyone looked into the distance with a fascinated face, as if my so-called great future was a stuffy pig's foot, and saliva flowed down with it.

"Shanghai is far away, and you have to climb a lot of mountain roads to get there. I heard that the village master said that there is silver everywhere, but I also heard that it is easy to be killed. Niu Ba asked me cautiously in fright, with a lot of yearning.

I glanced at him, "You don't know how to handle a kitchen knife, can your fists be tougher than a kitchen knife?" "I'm laughing, and that laugh isn't exactly a shameful laugh at Ushihachi, I'm just as excited as everyone else.

I threw out a question: "When you arrive in Shanghai, you can't find anyone, how do you plan to live?" ”

Xiao Ma Liuyi patted his head: "Yes, yes, the weakest of our group is Rat One, let him dress like a flower child, how about we buy a child and a girl?" Mao Jiu can write, I found a piece of paper, on which is written, "Life is compelling, endure the pain to buy, rat one has a grass mark in his head, sell along the street, we just need to sit under the roots of the tree, pretend to be hungry and cold." ”

Rat yelled out for grievances: "I bought you almost, you are shrewd enough, pretending to be sick and sneaking out under the pretext of sneaking out; One biscuit will be bought for you, and ten cows will not be able to pull you back. ”

Ah Wu Donkey also shook his head: "Bad idea, the image of Pony Six is too obscene, where do you stand, your eyes will be dripping and rolling, and you will have the image of doing bad things, like pimping." ”

Pony Six picked up the broom to hit Ah Wu Donkey, and Ah Wu Donkey was busy parrying with the lid of the pot; Rat One also joins the crusade against Pony Six in the melee, and the four chickens are ready to move, calculating the winner to join; Everyone seemed to have forgotten that they were hungry, and they started fighting again in the courtyard.

I decided to pour a bucket of cold water on everyone: "Whatever you defecate, I will never go to Shanghai anyway, I will be the king of the mountain here." "I thought to myself, "A food shortage wants to crush me, I can get through it"

"Mao Jiu, there is that young master in Shanghai, and someone is covering it." The four chickens tried their best to persuade, exquisite.

"I'm here to talk, who is so anxious to go, just go, I'll help you pack and don't keep you." I replied to him stiffly.

I thought to myself, "I'm missing a mouth to eat."

You Siji immediately turned into a horse boy in seconds: "Mao Jiu, if you leave, we will be scared." ”

Gui Fengkai, who does not admit defeat, is the only character in the hospital who dares to openly argue with me, and often loves to make the whole hospital restless, in my eyes, I can't understand why she loves that Miantang so much, she is simply a selfish freak, whining all day long, making trouble everywhere, that kind of character can only be called full of stubbornness.

Now she is chattering, crying and making trouble again, and shouting at every turn: "I am a good person, I have had enough, give me money to go to Shanghai." ”

Hearing this, I gave her a long-awaited slap in the face, and the blow was so hard that Gui Fengqi screamed at the highest note of her voice, not so much because of the pain, but because she was afraid of me, and she began to writhe her body like a loach, trying to break free from my restraints.

"Shut up, you know that I hate crying people the most, in another year, these fields will grow everywhere with grain and fresh peanuts and vegetables, and you won't starve to death."

I let go of Gu Fengqi's shoulder, and she fell to the ground and sobbed quietly, and her complaint was somewhat restrained, at least in front of me.

Everyone was silent for a moment. I can't stand being lifeless now, I grabbed Gui Fengqi, lifted her off the ground, and at the same time beckoned to the pony Liu, and pushed her to the kitchen: "Build the stove, make a pot, and cook all the food that can be eaten, I and Ergouzi and Niu Ba are now looking for something to eat, Ah Wu Donkey is taken care of by Pony Liu, and the oil four chickens are cooperated with Gui Fengqi, and when the ghost brother and we come back, there will be food for your grandchildren!" Lao Tzu called the cat immortal! ”

Yes, no one can force me and my bastards to leave our country and depend on the charity of others, and I will sustain this land, even if I will break the backs of everyone here.

I set out with Ergouzi and Niuhachi, and I was going to take a look at the surrounding villages, I took the railway hat from the hook of the gazebo, I picked up a large basket made of oak bark, and carried the bow and arrows used by Orion, and went down the back steps, and Ergouzi and Niuhachi followed me.

Death roams our village, and every familiar field and bush is silent under the scorching sun, and this unearthly silence continues to inject terror into my heart. We didn't see a living person all the way, not even a living animal. Lying beside the road were dead people, dead chickens, dead pigs, rotting and swelling, covered with flies, and lifeless. The desolation of this post-catastrophe is a degree of program that I have seen and heard in the past that cannot be compared.

"Now I don't think about it anymore. Now I can't stand it. I'll think about it later. I muttered to myself and looked away.

In search of the vegetable garden, the three of us walked around the ruins with great difficulty, passing the kitchen, the chicken shed, and the remnants. Niu Ba and Ergou investigated with thin sticks, but found nothing.

And they turned to the vegetable garden, and there was a cabbage in the orchard that had withered because there was no one to water it, but it was still alive; Although the eggplant is withered and yellow, it can be eaten. But at the moment we were so hungry that we had to struggle to even talk to each other, and after exchanging glances, we simply sat down in the vegetable garden, and dug the vegetables out of the soil with a pair of trembling hands.

I found a small white radish, and it was a spicy radish. I could barely wait to wipe the radish on my skirt to remove the mud, and I took half of it in one bite and swallowed it.
