Chapter 51 The Son of Change and Eat
She knelt very suddenly, and I quickly reached out to help, but before I could touch her, I was shocked by what she said.
I stared blankly at Nana, who was crying, and Qiangzi who was scared and crying by her mother's reaction, I don't know if what she said was true or what, but I was really scared by her!
Caicai cried intermittently, begging, my heart twitched, I don't know what kind of stimulation she was tortured like this, but she still helped her up first, and persuaded and comforted her softly: "Caicai, don't be afraid, we will take you two in, and we will also protect you, and no one will hurt you and the child, don't cry yet, look at the child scared, you are all a mother, be strong, speak slowly." ”
When Caicai heard me say this, she gradually calmed down, hugged Qiangzi and coaxed her non-stop, and finally put the child to sleep.
I handed her a few tissues and told her to wipe her face and blow her nose, and when she finally calmed down and calmed down, she told me to start from the beginning.
The Nana family lives in a small remote village on the back of the mountain, and the village has poor transportation, with only one dirt road leading to the road outside, so the village is quite poor.
There are about 30 families in the village, 50 or 60 people, who live on self-sufficiency, and each family has a few acres of thin fields, but it can also feed the whole family.
Since the year before last, a man named Ah Dong brought the terrible news of the zombie outbreak outside from outside the mountain, the people in this village were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out of the mountain, and only dared to hide in that small village to survive, and everyone went to farm and collect grain as usual, but last year a few zombies somehow shook out of the village, tearing up a man who was farming, and frightened the whole village, and no one dared to go out of the village to work in the field since then.
In order to feed their stomachs, the villagers killed all the animals and ate meat, even a twelve-year-old cat, not to mention cows, donkeys, dogs, and poultry.
The first to starve to death were the frail old people, who were already weak and unbearable, and could not hold on at all.
When an old man in charge of the village Zuihou was also killed by starvation, a nightmare began.
The man named Ah Dong suddenly gathered some strong laborers in the village and brainwashed everyone, saying that in such a generation, the dolls are also guilty of staying in the world, so it is better to fulfill the adults and let the adults live first, as for the babies, they will be too peaceful in the future, and they can give birth as many as they want, and if the adults starve to death, the dolls will not survive.
Of course, his own children must not be able to bear to start, so he proposed that families with children exchange with each other, and other people's children will not be so difficult to swallow.
Xu was carried away by hunger, and this idea of exterminating the conscience was accepted by most of the people in the village!
As an example, Ah Dong dedicated his adopted daughter, 3-year-old Xiaojing, who was strangled to death and cooked a large pot of broth, and many hungry and crazy villagers waited outside the kitchen of Ah Dong's house, and Zuihou each got a small bowl and swallowed it eagerly.
When it comes to the majority of people accepting, of course, there are a small number of people who refuse to accept it!
This small group of people are mothers of several young children! Among these mothers is Nana.
A mother named Chunyan was also one of them, she not only refused the broth made by Xiaojing, but also scolded the villagers on the spot.
As a mother, she can't accept that her dear baby son is sent under someone else's butcher's knife, on the stove!
But her scolding caused the resentment of the villagers, who yelled that the next one was going to cook her child!
Chunyan's husband is an honest and cowardly farmer, and when it comes to exchanging his children for food, he doesn't say anything, but he doesn't accept the broth from Ah Dong's reward, he just keeps silent.
He didn't accept Ah Dong's suggestion, he didn't want his son to become broth, he was just timid and didn't dare to resist, so he had to bear it silently.
Chunyan's invective caused trouble for themselves, and the dissatisfied villagers, a small bowl of delicious broth in their mouths, aroused their bestiality and greed, and they were extremely angry at Chunyan's unceremonious revelation of their despicable behavior, and more importantly, it gave them enough reason to attack Chunyan's son.
So under the coaxing of Ah Dong, Chunyan's ignorant two-year-old son was taken from his mother by these crazy villagers, who slaughtered the child in front of the heartbroken mother and cooked a pot of broth.
When the child's father was taken away from his child, he finally came to his senses, first begged, and after being kicked aside, the humanity in his heart exploded instantly, he picked up a hoe and rushed up to fight with everyone, but the result was weak, and he was beaten to death by the villagers who had abandoned his humanity, and he was really beaten to death, and when the evil people rushed together, the child's father's head was already with a blood gourd, and his head was clearly smashed by those people with a hoe, and the brains mixed with blood flowed to the ground.
Chunyan watched this tragedy happen, suddenly laughed wildly, tore her clothes, and ran outside the village by herself, no one stopped her, everyone was busy dividing a new pot of broth, and those young mothers who still kept their sanity were already stunned by their fellow villagers, just rushing home with their children, locking the door, and trembling in the room, who else could care about a woman who was driven crazy?
The next day, another child was snatched and eaten by the crazy villagers.
On the third day, one couple finally figured it out and took the initiative to exchange children with another couple, and each went home to cook and eat the exchanged child, knowing that if they did not compromise, the child would not be saved, because the hungry villagers would sooner or later take the child away, and they would only get a small bowl of broth at most.
Ah Dong has long spread a terrible saying: out of the village, the outside is full of cannibalistic living dead, there is no place to run, there is no place to escape, stay in the village, at least these men can protect everyone.
So, no one even thought of escaping from the village!
Caicai's spirit is on the verge of collapse, she only hugs the child and cries desperately every day, and her husband is a country man who is more cowardly than Chunyan's husband, he doesn't say a word except sighing.
What made Caicai decide to flee was her man who suddenly asked her: "Look, are we going to exchange with Lao Liu's family or Lao Li's family?" Lao Liu's family is a girl, and the meat is tender, but the kid from Lao Li's family is one year older and has a lot of meat. ”
Caicai looked at her husband, who was as thin as a ghost, in disbelief, although she knew that her husband was cowardly, but she didn't expect her husband's heart to be so hard.
That's his own son! The child he loved the most before!
Her husband used to say to Qiangzi: "Son, your father and I are not promising, this life is like this, you are my hope, when you grow up in the future, you must be promising, you know?" ”
Now he wants to exchange his hope for people to eat like a lamb and a pig!
Caicai was desperate in an instant, she had thought that it would be a big deal for a family of three to fight, to die, to die together! But I didn't expect that before outsiders came to have a child, the child's father had already given up.
Nana knew that this man couldn't be pointed at by herself, and after thinking about it, Zuihou gritted her teeth and decided to run away with her strong son, even if she was eaten by the living dead as soon as she left the village, it was better than watching her husband change the child out and cook it into soup and drink it!
Although they are all dead, at least the mother and son die together like this, and they are more heroic!
So in the middle of the night, while her husband was sleeping like a dead pig, she quietly left the village with her strong son in her arms and fled all the way to the mountains.
The reason why she ran into the mountains was because she knew that the villagers might come to arrest them, and if they ran along the road to the road, one would definitely be caught, and the other she had heard that the more she went into the city, the more the living dead.
This small village is very close to the mountains, and the vegetables quickly burrowed into the mountains, and along the way, the mother and daughter picked wild fruits and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, but fortunately it was summer, and it was winter, and they either froze to death or starved to death.
It's not that I haven't encountered zombies on the road, but Caicai avoided them as far away as possible and didn't disturb them, and even if this mother and son were lucky, they didn't encounter a group of small corpses head-on, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to hold on to the valley.
Speaking of this, Nana gasped heavily, the fear and despair in her eyes were bottomless, and my heart trembled as I listened, and cold sweat flowed down my back.
How terrible is ignorance!
Guarding the mountains, there are still fields around the village, and just because of cowardice and fear, he gave up farming, but turned his goal to young children! Are the villagers of this village all hungry ghosts?
Cannibalism!
What frightens me the most is not that Ah Dong instigated the villagers to eat the children in the village, but the pairs of parents who "want to open"!
In order not to suffer losses, take the initiative to exchange children with others, are their hearts fleshy?
My heart was stirring, I couldn't calm down for a long time, my fists were clenched tightly, my finger bones were white, a breeze blew in through the open window, brushed my cheeks, I felt cold, I reached out and touched it, I don't know when, my face was full of tears.
No! No, now my heart is full of anger instead of sadness! Yes, it's anger!
It's the urge to destroy something, the urge to kill!
"Caicai, how many children are left in the village?" I calmed down my excitement and asked.
Caicai thought about it with red and swollen eyes: "There are three more, and several others have been eaten by them, I escaped for two days, and I don't know if the three babies are still there..."
Hearing this, I stood up with a shout: "Caicai, let's go back to your village to save the three children, you have to lead the way, can you do it physically?" ”
Caicai looked at me with her mouth wide open: "Sister Duo, those villagers in our village are fierce, you..."
She had seen only me and a few teenagers since she entered the valley, as well as children playing in the castle and old men enjoying the shade under the trees, and it was evident that she was terrified of her village.
"Nana, we're going to go to thirty people this time, and there are many men, you don't have to worry! You escaped, but the three children are still in danger, and I am also a mother, I can't see this kind of thing, so you say, can you insist on leading the way? ”
"Yes!" Nana gritted her teeth.
