Chapter 402: The Helplessness of Survival
After she swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, the uncle, who looked the fiercest in the group, turned out to be a bowl of spoons and handed over.
Sun Jing was bewitched by the sweet smell of the corn porridge, and without thinking about it, she directly reached out and took it, until the heat warmed her little hand, and she looked up in a daze.
found that everyone, including herself, was looking at her.
Her face turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly reached out to send the bowl back.
As a result, her brother gently touched the top of her head and said, "Someone else gave you food, what do you want to say quietly?" ”
Sun Jing looked up at the cold-faced uncle opposite and then looked down at the porridge in his hand, wanting to return it, but it was so fragrant.
In the end, he quickly looked up at the cold-faced uncle opposite, whispered, thank you, uncle, and then lowered his head and buried his face in his chest.
It's really fragrant, is this your own? Xiao Sun Jing felt the heat in her hand, and couldn't help but smile sweetly, it's all mine, mine.
She lowered her head and tasted a little, then turned her head and held it up to her brother as if offering a treasure, "Brother, you drink it too, it's so fragrant and sweet." ”
Yu Yao looked at the satisfied smile on the little girl's face, her heart was half warm and half cold, the warm thing was that human nature was kind, even if it was a thousand hardships, it could not wear out the kindness in the child's heart, but the cold thing was her carefulness and the bowl of polenta she was holding in her hand.
But looking at the sweet smile on the little girl's face, she couldn't help but laugh along.
Jin Fan stretched out his hand again and made a bowl of porridge and handed it to Sun Ming, this time without waiting for Sun Ming to say, the little girl jumped up and shouted loudly, thank you, uncle.
Jin Fan, who shouted coldly, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
The two bowls of porridge let each other relax their guards, sitting by the fire, Sun Ming hugged Sun Jing who was asleep again, "My name is Sun Ming, this is my sister Sun Jing, I grew up in this city since I was a child." "Look at its tranquility and prosperity, and watch it be swallowed up in darkness.
Sun Ming smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and without waiting for Yu Yao to ask, he took the initiative to tell the story of the town after the disaster.
Before the disaster, he had just graduated from graduate school, and he remembered his hometown father, who came back to work in a small town, and when the tsunami came, they didn't really feel much.
Because of their high terrain, the tsunami is invisible and intangible, except for the interruption of communications, the biggest change is that suddenly a lot of people came from the mainland, many, many people.
This group of people made the town prosperous for a short time, but with the onset of winter, this group of people completely dragged the town into the abyss.
The winter of that year was so cold, just the residual memories made Sun Ming can't help but shiver.
The cold snap from Siberia drove in, and the snow line on the mountain quickly spread down the mountain, and the town's heating system was completely paralyzed after only a week.
Without heating, they had to burn their own firewood in the house, and there was a large poplar tree next to them, and at that time everyone had no other thoughts than to warm themselves.
At the beginning, the fire could still protect a small ball of warmth, but with the arrival of winter, the snow line quickly broke through the defenses, and the flames were frozen and curled up on the firewood. Jumping at any time.
He's never felt so cold, cold in the northwest? The answer was yes, but he had never felt cold to this extent, cold, as if there was no difference between staying inside the house and staying outside.
The breath of speech makes you unable to see the face of the person you are talking to.
They sat on the kang wrapped in quilts, and the fire was born in front of them, but he didn't feel the slightest warmth.
He quietly put his feet out of the quilt, but he didn't feel the cold, he kept moving, all the way to the window, he didn't feel any obvious feeling, but when he wanted to take it back, he found that his feet were frozen on the windowsill.
From that day on, the family moved to the cellar.
The cellar was a little airtight, but it was a little warmer than the outside.
At least, Sun Ming could feel the temperature of his hands and feet.
But what they don't know is that it's not just the sky that is getting cold outside, but also the people who are getting hungry and cold.
Because the weather is too cold, the body needs too much energy to keep warm, and in order to survive, they have to eat almost an hour, and the food is consumed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The weather is too cold, and it is obviously impossible to go out of the city to find food, but what to do when you are hungry?
You can only grab it!
But this is all the food, slowly consumed, and when they can't grab the food, after a few days of hunger, their eyes fall on the two-legged sheep around them.
That night, the land of the town was stained red with blinding blood, and helpless cries and malicious laughter were everywhere.
Until someone found the cellar of their house, pulled the three people out of it, and his eyes fell on them unabashedly and unscrupulously.
The staring was so straightforward that it made people's scalps tingle.
Sun Ming subconsciously hugged Sun Jing in his arms, but this subconscious shrunk caused the people standing around him to laugh.
I don't know if I'm laughing at his cowardice or rejoicing in the loot I've just gotten.
The man in the lead reached out and grabbed him by the hair, lifted him up like a pig, and slapped him in the face with the back of the knife.
The eyes are satisfied with his fine skin and tender meat. Sun Ming instantly understood the purpose of this group of people at that moment, and he began to struggle desperately.
How ridiculous, they were reduced to food, this kind of anti-human moral bottom line was torn apart, and it was clearly placed in the sun, completely shattering his thinking ability that he had maintained for many years.
He instinctively wanted to run out, and this reversal of ideology was even more terrifying than death to a certain extent.
Thousands of years of subtle etiquette and morality were once broken, which made him so frightened that it was difficult to accept.
He had never done manual work since he was a child, and he had been staying in the ivory tower, how could he be the opponent of this group of people, they easily restrained him and pressed him to the square table in the corner.
The man standing next to him pulled out a sharpened machete from his waist and walked over with a smile, the blade gesturing at his neck.
At that moment, his head seemed to be emptied, and when his mind returned, it was the instinctive fear of life and death, and he peed his pants.
Before he knew it, his legs were wet.
The leading man laughed and let him go.
Openly laughed at his cowardice, but he didn't feel a trace of shame, he only had the joy of escaping.
Sit on the floor with weak legs.
And then the people around him stood up again and went to grab his sister.
Sun Jing was hugged tightly by his father.
Seeing several people coming, she hugged her father's neck in fear.
He never knew his dad was so powerful.
He was surrounded by five people with Sun Jing in his arms, but he could tear a hole in the crowd, and he could also send Sun Jing to him, stop everyone, slap him awake, and let him run away with people.
The five men were tall and strong, but they couldn't break through the thin man's arm.
He ran, he ran away with people in his arms.
