Chapter 31: Hunting for Food
As soon as the door opened, Chun Nier's parents immediately ran out of the house, looking at the villagers who were swarming in with a trembling face.
This time, it was an old bachelor in the village who took the lead.
This guy is a well-known loser, it is not enough to lose his family's property and get angry with his parents, but also to borrow money from relatives and friends everywhere, and if he doesn't borrow, he will be a scoundrel and won't leave, so that people who know him will walk around when they see him!
As soon as I entered, the old man came up to me with a grin.
"Hey, hey, what, I've been a little tight lately, I haven't eaten for a few days, I don't know if you have any leftovers at home?"
As soon as she saw this old bachelor, Chunnier immediately greeted her with her hands on her hips.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here! You get me out! ”
Hearing this, the old bachelor was immediately unhappy, "Hey! I said, girl, this is not your home! It's your turn, huh? ”
As he spoke, the old thing rolled up his sleeves and had a posture of wanting to do it!
Seeing this, I immediately stopped in front of Chun Nier, "What do you want to do?" ”
That old bachelor has been lacking food and drink all the year round, and his body is as thin as wood, so he is not my opponent at all. As soon as she saw me protecting Chuniel, she immediately wilted.
But at this time, the villagers behind him came forward with a begging face.
"Zhao Chong, we know that we can't live with you all these years, but that is also scared by your grandma, isn't it?"
"That's it, for the sake of the villagers, please take out the stored food to help us!"
"That's right! It doesn't matter to us adults, but the children in the family can't stand the hunger! ”
"My daughter-in-law hasn't eaten for two days, there is no milk, and the child is so hungry that she cries for a day!"
"Please, do it!"
…………
I'm not a hard-hearted person, and if they come in hard, they won't want to get a grain from me! But when they begged, I immediately softened my heart when I thought of those little lives waiting to be fed.
"Cabbage, you go and get all the food back, whoever has children, bring the children over, those who have children can get food, and the others, follow me to find food!"
With that, I handed it over to Cabbage and Chuniel, and took the lead and walked outside.
As soon as they heard me say that they would take them out to find something to eat, everyone immediately became excited!
I'm not just talking about it, I said that if I can find food, then I will definitely find it!
In the era when gravediggers were born, everything that flew in the sky and swam on the ground could be eaten as long as it was alive. Although it is different from that time, we are also in the same predicament.
If people in those days could eat everything, why can't we now?
When he walked to the edge of the stone bridge at the entrance of the village with the villagers, someone had already reacted.
"I said Zhao Chong, what are you trying to do? Did you bring us to hunt rats and eat? Those rats have maggots! ”
"That's it! Can a rat that is already rotten still be eaten? ”
Seeing the reaction of those people, I couldn't help but sneer, "Heh! Looks like you're not hungry enough! ”
With that, I threw the lamp oil I had brought and threw it out towards the bridge.
After a loud bang, the rats on the side of the bridge, which were already beginning to drip maggots, rushed to the bridge deck.
Seeing this, I didn't say a word, lit a pinch of straw and threw it towards the bridge!
Call!
As soon as the straw with Mars fell on the bridge deck, it burned the rats on the bridge and jumped up and down! In the blink of an eye, the rats fell to the ground and stopped moving.
The rats in the fire stopped moving, but the man surnamed Wu had already realized what we were going to do, and immediately transferred a large group of rats from the surrounding area to defend the river, ready to go to the bridge to grab our food as soon as the fire was small!
Seeing this, I immediately jumped into the water, and after getting myself wet, I was the first to rush towards the bridge!
"Pick up a few and go! Don't let those sharp-mouthed thieves snatch them away! ”
As I roared, I kept throwing dead rats out of the fire.
Although many people run home desperately after picking up rat meat, more people still follow my example and rush into the fire after getting their bodies wet!
The bridge deck is not very wide, only more than ten meters long, but the mouse carcasses scattered on it are enough for the whole village to have a good meal!
Don't say anything disgusting or not disgusting, people can eat anything they can eat when they are extremely hungry! What's more, maggots only eat carrion, and in ancient times, they were used by military doctors to treat soldiers whose wounds were purulent and infected!
At that time, the conditions were terrible, but if the wound was purulent and infected, nine out of ten people would die!
But later, I don't know who came up with the solution, I fished the maggots from the toilet, washed them and sprinkled them on the infected wounds of the injured people, and when the maggots left on their own, the fever of the injured people actually subsided and improved!
Of course, these are all things I read from the books my grandmother gave me. That's why I dared to say that to you before.
By the time the fire had subsided, and the dead rats had taken over the bridge again, all the people I had brought with me had withdrawn to the village. This trip can be said to be a full return!
At noon, the smell of barbecued meat fills the village. When I was a child, those who walked around when they saw me, and even spoke ill of me, now when they see me, they are busy bowing to me!
Seeing everyone's satisfied smiles, I was really happy! I believe that as long as I go a few more times, those dead rats will be wiped out by the villagers!
I had never felt this way, so I was naturally in a good mood, and after I got home and had eaten and drunk enough, I lay down on my grandmother's recliner and began to rest.
In my dream, the voice rang in my ears again.
"Huh! Boy, I underestimate you! I can think of such a way to survive from the dead! However, you also underestimate the people of the village. He didn't expect you to use this method to get food, but don't you forget, what is he good at? ”
After saying so much, the voice disappeared, and I woke up from my dream!
Oops, what Old Ghost Wu is good at is corpse control! The bodies of the eight brothers of the Chen family and the Liu family......
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately got up and rushed out the door!
I heard before that someone found the corpses of Chen Cripple, his daughter-in-law and Liu Ergou in Chen's house, and a lot of meat was removed from the three corpses. The villagers remembered what I said, and immediately beat the beasts to death, and the bodies are now stored in the ancestral hall.
However, when I arrived at the ancestral hall, where was there still the shadow of the corpses of the Liu brothers and the Chen family's Nizi?
I was so anxious here that I didn't know what to do, and suddenly there was a child's scream from a family next to the ancestral hall!
Seeing this, I immediately ran in the direction where the scream came from!
But when I arrived, I didn't see the shadow of the Liu brothers, but saw the dead rats hanging on the rope, frantically gnawing on the rope that tied them! Two dead rats that had escaped earlier had already climbed up to the necks of the children in that family! The scream just now was what the kid was afraid to make!
