36. The battle was fierce

"Did you hear that Dahe Village downstream lost more than 20 chickens overnight!"

"Last night, more than a dozen wolves came down from the mountain and went straight to the village, and the wolves howled all night!"

"There are also three villagers who have been bitten by wolves, that's a miserable one!"

"Hiss-that arm bites, the arms of the village hunters are bitten off twice!"

"Even Xie Langzhong can't help the injury, he said that he asked his family to prepare for the future!"

......

The two villages were originally neighbors, and they were more or less related to each other, and many people heard the news for fear that their relatives would be affected by the disaster and hurried to Dahe Village.

And when they returned to Shenjia Village again, one of them was full of shock.

Even Li Zheng couldn't help but come out and ask:

"Shen Wang, what's the situation with your mother's family?"

"Oh my God, I thought it was pitiful enough to be patronized by wolves, but I never thought it would be even more pitiful!"

Shen Wang's expression was extremely complicated, both sad because of the tragic appearance of his relatives, but he didn't know what to think of, with a little happiness on his face.

This aroused the curiosity of the crowd even more.

"What, what could be more pitiful than having wolves? What's that! ”

"That's right, what the hell happened, could it be that the black bear also went down the mountain?"

"The black bear didn't come down the mountain, huh!"

Shen Wangshi slapped his thigh, "Everyone in Dahe Village is so hungry that their faces are yellow and thin, and those who don't know think they haven't eaten for months!" ”

Thanks to the food she brought when she returned to her parents' house, otherwise she wouldn't have lasted long with her brother and sister-in-law.

"They don't have a good harvest this year, and they didn't leave much after selling the farms in the field, but it's not like our sixth uncle Zhang Luo bought grain early, and it is said that every household ran out of grain half a month ago."

"And when the hunter heard the wolf's cry at night, he was originally hungry and planned to hunt and eat, but who would have thought that the wolf was not hunting, and he put himself in!"

Hiss –

"Why are there no food? You can't go to Fucheng to buy it! ”

"That's it, although the number of people in the city is limited now, it's not that you can't enter!"

Shen Wang sighed, and his voice became louder, "I can't afford it, do you know how much black noodles cost a catty?" ”

"Isn't it 15 Wen a pound?"

"That's already the old yellow calendar, now it's 25 wen a catty, and the broken rice can't afford to eat!"

Hiss –

The people who eat melons gasped, "It's so expensive!" ”

"Black-hearted businessman, robbing silver!"

Shen Wang shook his head slowly, but she became the most stable one.

"The grain shops in Fucheng are all at the same price, and there are still many people who sharpen their heads and squeeze them in, who will starve themselves with silver in their hands, isn't there no way!"

The rich can still buy food with their family funds, but the common people can't, and they can only starve without money!

"I see!"

Only then did everyone realize that not all villages had six uncles.

They looked at Li Zheng again, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.

Shen Manchu subconsciously straightened his chest, and instantly felt that his aura was two meters eight.

"Listen, you all listen, now you know how good our village is!"

"Yes, yes, we know, thanks to the reminder of the sixth uncle, otherwise all our silver money will not be enough to toss."

"If it weren't for the sixth uncle who asked us to beware of animals going down the mountain this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to save a few chickens at home now!"

There is really an old man in the village, if there is a treasure!

While everyone was happy, they all pulled Shen Wang to ask for more details.

At this time, halfway up Shennong Mountain, Cheng Xi was leaning on a bare tree and using a high-powered telescope to investigate in person.

The truth is even worse than what Shen Wang described.

Dahe Village is a small village of about 100 households, and the families live relatively compactly, so you can see the rough idea at a glance.

The village is nothing like the last time she looked through a telescope, with rows of houses at least half collapsed by snow, thatched grass flying, and even bare walls.

Many villagers were numbly cleaning up in the yard, and the large red blood stains looked particularly hideous in the snow-white.

What a tragic word to describe.

"Last night's battle was terribleβ€”"

Cheng Xi turned the telescope slightly and found that the condition of several other villages was not better than that of Dahe Village, and most of the thatched houses were destroyed.

She even saw a small house of about 20 square meters coming out of a family of seven or eight people.

In the face of nature, human beings are still insignificant.

"Huh?"

As soon as the telescope in Cheng Xi's hand turned, he saw four black figures at the edge of the village holding sticks into a house, and when they came out again, they carried a rag bag in their hands.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and after waiting for a moment, a half-dead figure slowly crept out of the house.

Hunger is the most likely breed for crime.

Hunger is not pleasant, and even a well-educated person may not be able to withstand the bottom line in the face of hunger, let alone in uncivilized ancient times?

And that's just the beginning of the devastation caused by the snowstorm.......

Cheng Xi looked at the words minus 25 degrees displayed on the thermometer and was silent for a moment, and then tightened the sister-in-law's thick cotton jacket on his body.

Down.

***

In a small courtyard in Shenjia Village, more than a dozen villagers stood crowded.

In the encirclement, Shen Manchu was so worried that he straightened his hair.

"Dad, do you have any other good plans?"

"That's right, Uncle Six, you are the person who has seen the most in our village, give me a move?"

"It's too cold, the house is like an ice cave, and if you go down again, you'll have to freeze to death."

"If it weren't for the fact that every household ran out of firewood, we wouldn't be able to ask for you, would we?"

The villagers came to Lizheng's house this time for one thing - there was no firewood to burn at home.

You have to use firewood for cooking, you have to use firewood to keep out the cold, and you can't live a day without firewood on such a cold day.

The temperature dropped for several days in a row, making the villagers sick, lying in bed and lying in bed, and those who could go out were in good health.

A while ago, the big guys could go to the back mountain to pick up branches and make a fire to keep warm, but now let alone the branches, they can't even see the road.

While other villages are still struggling to be full, the villagers of Shenjia Village have encountered another challenge.

The sixth uncle frowned fiercely, and glared at everyone with hatred.

"If you don't have firewood, you can find firewood, there are so many trees on Shennong Mountain, you can't do it?"

"Ouch-"

The villagers' expressions were even more bitter!

"We want to run up the mountain, but we don't dare!"

"Yes, Uncle Six, last time I ran into a wild boar before I was halfway up the mountain, and I almost didn't kill everyone!"

"If you encounter wolves, it will be even worse!"

"The prey on Shennong Mountain dares to run down the mountain, it must be more hungry than us, if you encounter it on the mountain, it will be fatal!"

In the past, Dahe Village was patronized by wolves, and the villagers did not dare to underestimate the hungry wolves anymore, and now going up the mountain is tantamount to fighting with wild beasts.
