Lao Chen, who said loudly, was speechless, blushing, bowing his head, wanting to leave, but he didn't dare to go, wanting to stay, but not daring to stay.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand these truths, it's just that he just doesn't want to admit it.

He sometimes thinks that it is better for him to die in that disaster with his family at the beginning, than to be half-dead and disgusting now, but when people live, they want to live well, especially those who have been beautiful, and they will always think about the good days in the past.

He knew that many people had come to the village at the foot of the mountain to live better than before, but he was just unwilling, why, he was getting worse and worse, why did his children and grandchildren all die.

This unwillingness and resentment made him gradually distort, so he wanted to stir things up.

He used to laugh at the people in the village at the foot of the mountain for being too stupid, and he said so many bad things, they just didn't know that when he cried a few times, they relented.

Sure enough, he is a person who can't do anything big.

But seeing that the village at the foot of the mountain is getting better and better, he is surprised and unwilling.

Why do the people and places he looks down on get better and better?

Lao Chen didn't speak, which didn't mean that the anger of these people was gone.

Some people can't help but express their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"Old Chen, your children, grandchildren and family business are gone, you have resentment in your heart, but this resentment should not be directed at the village at the foot of the mountain, people have taken us in regardless of their previous suspicions, and they have done their best to us."

"That is, you can't be a man without a conscience."

"Besides, in this year of catastrophe, there are a lot of accidents outside, if we hadn't come to the foot of the mountain, our village might have been robbed by gangsters."

Someone was in charge of going out to find out the news outside, and he knew that several nearby villages were not having a good time.

Several villages were even wiped out by bandits.

On the contrary, those of them who came to the village at the foot of the mountain still have some roots.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly asked which villages had suffered, and they were also embarrassed to hear that the familiar villages, or the villages where there were people they knew.

They have been living in the village at the foot of the mountain recently, but they are also comfortable, but they didn't expect that the outside has become like this.

Some people couldn't help but kneel on the ground and bow in the direction of the Dragon Maiden Temple.

"Dragon Girl, it's all the Dragon Girl's blessing, Dragon Girl, wake up quickly, come back quickly, the villagers at the foot of the mountain need you."

……

Someone took the lead, and more and more people knelt on it and began to prostrate.

And with these prostrations, a stream of invisible things began to flow into the Dragon Maiden Temple, and poured into the Dragon Goddess statue in the Dragon Maiden Temple.

The power of faith in the statue of the dragon goddess was also suddenly poured into the main body.

Jiang Ran opened his eyes and looked at the dark prison.

This group of old things couldn't persuade her, so they sent her here, and gave her something to eat, so that she fell asleep unconsciously.

It's just strange that I just slept for a while, and my mana is a lot stronger than before.

It's just that it's so dark, I can't see anything clearly.

I don't know how long I've slept this night.

One day in heaven and one year on earth.

Thinking of sleeping for several years in the past, Jiang Ran shivered.

If this really slept for a year, the world would have changed a long time ago.

No, she couldn't stay any longer.

Gotta get out of here.

……

"I, I didn't say anything, I just complained, I'm old, my children and grandchildren are gone, I'm lame again, I haven't eaten the last meal, I can't complain."

Old Chen's face was blue and white for a while, and his face burned badly when he was stared at by so many people.

Zhou Er in the crowd pouted.

Croak.

You can't spread rumors if you complain.

There are some old people who are just messing around.

"It's okay to complain, but you can't spread rumors, old Chen, you said that you didn't have a good time, you didn't eat the last meal, but you didn't get hungry or thin, right?

Some old people also have no family, but they don't complain all day long like you, spreading rumors and making trouble in the village.

And you are getting older, you have enjoyed the blessings you deserve, you have suffered the sins you deserve, and you should be content.

As an old man, you should point out a way forward for the young people in the village, for the benefit of your children and grandchildren, your children and grandchildren are gone, but don't you have descendants of the same clan, as a member of the Chen clan, shouldn't you take good care of the descendants of the Chen surname?

But what about you?

I remember that there was a little doll of the same clan as you before, and everyone in the family died, found you, called you grandpa, and wanted you to live with you, how did you do it, did you beat people up and drive them out, how can people look down on you like you.

Also, you're going to die, right?

If you die, don't go to your ancestors, your ancestors know what you did, can they still forgive you? ”

At that time, the village had not yet set up a shelter to take care of these children who had no family, and the baby's family was dead, and a person followed the still alive people in the village to the foot of the mountain, and he was so unacquainted that he cried so pitifully, he finally saw a familiar face, and he walked to Lao Chentou weakly and shouted grandpa, but he was frightened by Lao Chen's sharp eyes.

To this day, she remembers that scene.

Old Chen Tou trembled, he remembered, that was the great-grandson of his cousin of the same clan, when he came to look for him, he was immersed in the grief of losing his children and grandchildren, his leg was still lame, where could he control others.

And he was not in harmony with that cousin's family, and the two families had long since died of old age.

In fact, it's a very small thing, it's just a small fight of the grandchildren, and it's all calf protection, so it's on the bar, and no one will let it, and in the end they won't come and go.

At that time, when the little baby came to him, he was still proud to look at the little milk baby who was dead and only one person left, and look, the two families had the same result, and there was only one bare rod left.

But after being proud, he was very uncomfortable, he was an old bone, but he was still a little young seedling, and he couldn't see the sun for long, but he still had a future, he could still thrive, and he could still spread his branches.

Therefore, he was still very jealous of that cousin later.

If he had a choice, he would rather trade his life for the lives of his children and grandchildren.

Now that he was awakened, he suddenly realized that yes, they were originally of the same race.

He could have taken that little baby to himself, and there was still hope.

After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly looked at the person who reminded him and spoke.

"He, where is he?"

"If you don't worry about it, it's okay, it's already adopted."

"This ......" A trace of loss flashed in his eyes, he looked down at his lame broken leg, and smiled helplessly, he was already unable to protect himself, and he still wanted this.

"Yes, a good guy, right? Is it still surnamed Chen? ”

"Yes, I didn't change my last name."

"That's good, that's good." Old Chen snorted a few times, and then walked out on crutches in frustration.

"Where to go? It's not about waiting for a feast. ”

"If you don't eat it, you won't have the face to eat it."

Lao Chen opened his mouth for a long time, and his voice was weak, but fortunately, someone scolded him awake.

He still has hope.

His surname is Chen.

The Chen family still has descendants.

Although I can't keep him around, it's good to be able to watch him grow up.

Everyone didn't expect that the old Chen, who was still holding his neck and being unconvinced just now, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he was embarrassed for a while.

Although it was a little unpleasant, but with the delicious food and drink on the table, everyone gradually forgot about the appropriate talent and began to compete for the seat.

A total of 20 tables were opened.

In the year of the catastrophe, there is nothing special about it.

But it also made a new trick.

There are several pots of sweet potatoes alone, boiled, roasted, and sweet potatoes cut into slices, dried and ground into powder, and fried with other things, in short, a dazzling array of dishes.

Of course, there is also a lot of meat.

Recently, the patrol team went to the mountains and gained a lot, in addition to distributing it to each family, many of them remained in the village, and they also took out a lot of them and made more of them.

And every family also took out a special school.

Aunt Liu is good at pickling radish, so she served a pot of pickled radish on each table, and Aunt Wang is good at making bean paste, so she also served a dish on each table.

Eating these things that cushion hunger, just these things to eat, and occasionally stuffing a piece of meat, this tastes no one.

And there is also food on the table for the children, all of which are fine grains.

Although no one said it directly, everyone agreed to leave the fine grain to the children.

After all, children are the hope of the family.

Some people don't have children, but they have fine grain in front of them, and they will hand it to those who have children.

"You can eat it yourself."

"A handful of old men voted, and it is also fertilizer after eating, it is better to leave it to the children, and they can grow taller, and when they grow up, they will be good young men in our village at the foot of the mountain."
