023 The story repeats itself

The panicked screams of women and the terrible cries of children were heard by the pond, and despair and panic permeated the green grass and finally turned into blood.

The sudden arrival of the exile army broke the original tranquility, and they killed people when they saw them, as if these scrawny and poorly clothed refugees in front of them were not the same race, but pigs, horses, cattle and sheep that humans could slaughter at will.

At this moment, these incarnations of the children of destiny who said that they wanted to save thousands of dawns and water and fire, in the harsh living environment, abandoned the bottom line of being a human being, and became hellish demons more terrible than fierce beasts!

They kill those who are weaker than themselves, and perhaps in the boiling clay pot tonight, these "two-legged sheep" will become a staple food.

In Xu Yue's eyes, there was no difference between them and those people like the poisonous dragon.

The girl's dark pupils clearly reflected the red that gradually emerged from the grass, and this red was deeply rooted in her heart, and in the difficult moments to come, she was reminded countless times that this was the original color of this world.

The hot wind swept through his cheeks, and the demon raised his butcher's knife and slashed the emaciated child in two.

The internal organs, the intestines, and the simple faces that have not had time to react, numb and hesitant-

The girl blinked, her pupils constricting violently, resisting the vertigo caused by her body's self-protection mechanisms.

She bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the pain was so intense that she had to force herself to watch it all.

Xu Yue has always known that escaping will not solve the problem, and only by looking directly at fear can it be defeated.

She still has to survive in this world in the future, how can she be frightened by what she sees in front of her?

Xu Yue moved her stiff body, hooking her brother's neck with one hand to reduce his force.

With one hand, she clutched the heavy futon, which was bigger than her, and threw it on her brother's back with great effort, so as not to let the futon block the line of sight.

Xu Yue's family ran the fastest and quickly shook off those homeless people.

They looked at the scattered few people who ran away, and seemed to have lost interest in pursuing, but just looked coldly, thinking that they might starve to death in a few days, or be filled by wild beasts in the mountains.

......

The family ran wildly, not daring to look back or stop.

It wasn't until Wang, who ran to the front, found that there was no movement behind him to pursue, and then Xu Dalang and Xu Da stopped one after another.

"Are you all right?" Wang asked breathlessly, seeing that there was no one in his family, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Da carried the heaviest basket on his back, tired enough to choke, panting, waving his hand to indicate that he was fine.

The three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue also said that they were fine.

Seeing this, Wang looked up at the sun slanting to the west, and said in a deep voice: "It's getting dark, find a place to settle down first." ”

The family took a brief breath and moved on.

At this time, they had run from the heart of the forest to the other side of the forest, all the way down, all the way down the steep slope.

There were no pursuers behind him, so Wang put Xu Erniang down and asked her to follow Xu Da and go ahead to explore the way.

In the end, Wang led his family to walk horizontally along the ridge to the col and found a relatively gentle place to stop.

It was getting late, and the sun had only the last rays of light, and soon it was hidden, and the whole world was completely dark.

Xu Da put down the basket, took out a torch and lit it in the soil, and began to count the belongings.

The kitchen knife was used as a hidden weapon to cut the homeless army, and it was too late to get it back, and it was gone.

The wood knife for chopping wood, the rabbit skin that had been placed to dry next to the grass nest, and the two killed pheasants were also gone.

There were also two bamboo tubes that he didn't have time to clean up, and five pairs of leather shoes that he had painstakingly wove together!

Thinking of the five pairs of bark shoes that blistered their hands were so cheap for nothing, Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief, and almost didn't slow down in one breath.

However, depressed and depressed, thinking that the bedding and straw mats were all there, the most important water and taro were also brought, no one was lost, and the feet were wearing newly made bark shoes, Xu Da felt depressed again.

After running for so long, even the Wang family, who has always been tough and not bitter, couldn't stand it, sat on a dry branch, and urged Xu Da to hurry up and make a fire to cook, and let everyone eat something first.

Xu Da belly slandered: Lao Tzu is also tired, why don't you cook and serve Lao Tzu?

However, he was beep in his heart, and his movements were very neat, beckoning Xu Erniang to help, and then instructed Xu Yue's brothers and sisters to pick up firewood, and the father and daughter quickly lit the fire.

And then...... The father and daughter looked at the Wang family together.

Xu Yue asked, "Auntie, where is our pot?" ”

Wang slapped his thigh, "Grass!" The pot is still left by the pond! ”

Xu Da hurriedly went to rummage through the belongings brought by his family, not to mention the pot, even those few broken bowls were gone!

For a while, five pairs of big eyes, you look at me, I look at you, fell silent.

Xu Da and Wang really didn't think that an old clay pot and five broken bowls were important before.

When the youngest daughter put these things in the basket, they also felt that it would affect the speed of escape.

It wasn't until this time that I realized that this guy was eating!

Pots and bowls can live without them, but they can't live without pots and bowls!

"Grill and eat."

After being silent for a long time, Xu Yue said weakly.

It was like a family that had been tapped with a dumb hole and then recovered, and nodded with a "hmm".

Fortunately, the aroma of barbecue quickly relieved the family's depressed mood.

The five of them ate all the pieces of meat that Xu Da fished out of the pot at noon, and there were only sixty catties of taro left in the back basket.

However, just when Xu Yue's family looked at the taro in the basket and secretly rejoiced, there was a sudden movement in the woods not far away.

The family stood up, looked at the woods vigilantly, and prayed that it would not be a homeless army.

A few sneaky figures came out of the woods, and they were actually Wang Dayou and his wife with a pair of children.

"Brother Xu!" Wang Dayou's family came over in surprise.

Xu Yue's family also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, they didn't expect Wang Dayou and his wife to escape.

After some greetings, he learned that Wang Da's family didn't have time to bring anything out, and the two children were already so hungry that their chests were close to their backs.

Wang Dayou's eyes were red, and he choked up and held Xu Da's hand, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Xu Da quietly withdrew his hand, quietly shook the goosebumps that were crawling up behind his back, and pulled out an embarrassed and polite smile, "Let the child eat first, don't be hungry." ”

Wang Dayou nodded with emotion, and handed the rice bran ball to the child, the food that Xu Yue sisters and sisters could not swallow, but the Wang family's eldest sister and brother ate very satisfied.

But just when the big guy didn't move anymore, the story repeated itself, and there was another noise in the woods.
