Chapter 822: Famine!
The night sky is clear.
The stars are brilliant, and the occasional shooting star crosses the night.
The sound of the waves in the distance, the breeze bringing the scent of the sea, and the chirping of insects in the distance make this night extra quiet, and it is also the quietest time of the day.
Shen Guang took Marlena out of her house and took her to the car, which slowly headed towards Shen Guang's house.
On the road, the car was deformed, slowly retracted the roof, and turned into a convertible, a very fashionable convertible shape, and entered the automatic driving mode, and slowly drove this home on the island according to the set route.
Now the car is still running on four wheels, not in a suspended state. Even if the four wheels are running again, the car is still stable and there is no bumpy feeling.
If it weren't for the bad news that Marlena received today, sitting in the car, she could have enjoyed the beautiful night sky in a different mood.
Although Marlena stopped crying, she kept sullen, just on the side, sitting motionless next to Shen Guang in a daze, unintentionally admiring these.
At this time, she was not in the mood to watch the night scene, nor did she notice the difference between Shen Guang's car tonight and the past.
Shen Guang didn't persuade her again, until he got home, took her out of the car, and asked her to sit aside and wait.
Marlena was like a front-line puppet, at the mercy of Shen Guang.
After Shen Guang arranged Marlena, he took out the food that had been rarely used in the space backpack, and when tonight's dinner - when people are in pain, food can bring happiness and make people get out of depression.
"Come on, let's have something to eat!"
When the food was placed on the table, Shen Guang couldn't help but pull Marlena to the table and sit down to eat.
Maybe it's because of the food, or maybe it's because she hasn't eaten for a day, Marlena is really hungry, the aroma makes it impossible for her to refuse, and after eating a steak, her taste buds are filled with fatty beef.
Marlena's appetite was opened, and she didn't need Shen Guang to eat, she started to eat herself, and the more she ate, the more she ate.
"You haven't eaten all day, have you?"
Shen Guang asked her, and without waiting for her to answer, he continued to talk to himself.
"However, don't be sad about today's incident, maybe there is a mistake in the news from the front? Isn't that unjust? ”
This sentence made Marlena pay attention.
"Really? Wrong news will come from the front? ”
Marlena didn't believe that the front line could make a mistake about this - she had always lived here, and although she was surrounded by malice, in her subconscious, her own state organs could not go wrong, after all, the country's credit had not yet gone bankrupt.
She didn't speak all the way, but she finally spoke, but her voice seemed to be a little hoarse, and when she spoke, her voice changed a little.
"This can happen, but don't expect too much, just see."
Shen Guang didn't dare to guarantee that there must be something wrong ahead, because this is not a movie. The man in the movie came back alive, but that was the need for the plot, so it was arranged like this, and the real world may be a little suspenseful, and there will be no plot need here.
Just like when I met Jiu'er in Red Sorghum before, there was no actor named Yu Zhanao.
"Well, thank you."
Marlena thanked Shen Guang and was in a much better mood than before.
"Patience, just wait."
Shen Guang nodded.
Shen Guang did not do this to send a daughter, or a virgin.
Although Marlena is a beauty, she is someone else's wife, and she can't talk about giving away a daughter.
If he had a husband, he wouldn't have possessed it like that.
It's not that he is noble, but he has experienced a lot, there are many women in the family, there is no shortage of women, he has gotten rid of low-level interests, and he will not occupy a woman so roughly.
Of course, if the beautiful woman sent to the door, Shen Guang doesn't mind, but the situation is different now.
"In a few days at most, there will be news."
Shen Guang comforted her, and after that, he took her to the next room to rest.
If it weren't for Shen Guang's incursions, the people on the island would have targeted Marlena even more harshly after knowing that her husband had died, so that she would not get the respect she deserved, and would continue to insult her, and everyone would step on her.
With Shen Guang's intervention, these don't exist at all, and many people wisely put away their careful thoughts.
Those who wanted to make trouble had to weigh the consequences of offending Shen Guang in front of Shen Guang, so Marlena was finally not stimulated for a while.
Shen Guang didn't deal with Marlena, but really sent someone to find Marlena's husband to determine whether his news was wrong.
He sent someone to check, and it was not immediately available, because in this era, radio calls have appeared at random, but they are not popular, and if you want to confirm the news, you still need to rely on someone to go to confirm it.
After confirming back and forth, nearly half a month has passed.
And during this period of time, Shen Guang was trying to find a way to exchange energy.
…………
Province of the Western Regions.
In the factory area, the factory machines rumbled and turned.
One by one, people dressed neatly dressed in workers' clothes pushed four-wheeled carts, and transported the output of goods back and forth to the warehouse.
If you don't complete a task, you'll get a penny, and if you complete a hundred times, you'll get a dollar.
Many people can't complete it a hundred times, at most eighty times, and the money for a day doesn't seem to be much, but in this era, this is enough food and clothing for a family, and many people are scrambling to do this work.
Compared to other places, they are very happy here, and they don't have to worry about not having food, and they don't have to worry about famine, selling their sons and daughters, or even eating people.
It is impossible to publish the cannibalism, it is basically concealed, or it is crabbed, and what they can know here is still known by the mouths of people who have fled.
At first, many people still didn't believe it when they heard this, but when there were many people coming, one person said this, and many people said this, so they had to make people believe that it was really bad outside.
Shen Guang is not a mean person, he still has preferential treatment for his own people, and he will also give them some benefits during the New Year's holidays, and these people can save a lot of money.
Over the course of the year, some money will be saved.
And that's the life that many people dream of.
On this day, Shen Guang took Jiu'er to look outside, and saw another group of people fleeing the famine outside.
Their clothes were torn and stained with a thick layer of dirt, and the whole person was the same color as the Africans.
One by one, the skinny ones are exposed, the apocalypse is hot, I don't know how much sweat they have, and now because of the hot weather, one by one emits a pungent smell.
Next to the adults, there are some children, all of whom are weak and wilting.
Smack! In the end, there were children and adults who couldn't support it and fell to the ground.
"Look at what! Don't save people yet! ”
When Shen Guang saw this, he immediately called someone to come over and save people.
