Chapter 233: Patron Saint
Chen Xun didn't know that he was bleeding from his mouth, and he wasn't injured or in pain.
wiped a handful of blood from his mouth, it was fishy.
"This is the blood of the big guy's cheeks, and there is the most blood there." Chen Xun explained.
"Boss, how did you scratch it from head to tail so it didn't resist?"
"That big guy is very powerful, how can he let the boss obediently die, it must have been after a hard fight.
The strength of the boss is definitely above the big guy, so the big guy is dead, and the process of fighting is absolutely exciting, but we don't see it, right, boss. Zhang Tian said in a tone full of adoration.
Chen Xun smiled and said, "It's it that devours me, don't blame me." ”
When the big guy opened his big mouth full of fangs and swallowed Chen Xun in one gulp, Chen Xun's huge fangs quickly stretched out, and they became bigger and bigger, so big that Chen Xun was surprised, this is the body has started the self-preservation mode.
The huge fangs went straight into the open mouth, and immediately stabbed the big guy's cheeks.
A lot of blood from the cheeks flowed down the fangs to Chen Xun's mouth, which was the origin of the blood at the corner of Chen Xun's mouth.
Chen Xun was full of energy, and he didn't care that the big guy couldn't breathe without cheeks, so he paddled along the cheeks all the way to his stomach, and then to the fish's tail.
The big guy continued to tremble, and began to crawl into the river, but this time it really climbed, because it had lost so much blood that it no longer had the strength to erect the fins under its belly and use it as legs.
But, uselessly, without climbing far, it completely lay on the shore and died.
"Such a big fish, enough for us to eat for a month."
A team of twelve people in total, eating more than two tons of food, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat it all in a month.
"It's the end of the world, food is very scarce, if we can't finish it, wouldn't it be a waste, why don't we find a fishing village and distribute the fish and meat of this big guy to the fishermen to eat."
It's a hill, the rain isn't as violent as it used to be, and the water level is gradually dropping, so the fishermen may still be alive.
There is another reason for Chen Xun's suggestion, that is, they are still far away from the iron ore deposits, wouldn't it be better to find nearby fishermen and ask?
It reduces the element of chance, and can find iron ore deposits in the least amount of time.
Chen Xun and Lao Guo walked along the riverbank, observing whether there was a village.
In the evening, they did not see the village either, and the two, having lost their confidence, began to walk back.
But when I raised my head to look again, I saw the smoke rising in the distance.
Nima, there are still people lighting fires in the last days, how can this be explained if this is not a village?
Seeing that it was still far away, Chen Xun was also hungry, so he took out bread and ham sausages from the space, and the two began to eat.
"When I got to that village, I inquired and I knew where to go to the iron mine." Chen Xun said happily.
After eating and drinking, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the village.
Finally walked to the place where the cooking smoke was shining, Chen Xun thought that it should be a family sitting at a round table to eat.
But how could there be such a warm picture in the last days.
What caught my eye was that the yard made of mud did not even have a decent gate, and it was a simple gate with a few large branches tied together.
Looking in from the low mud courtyard wall, a rickety old lady was holding some half-wet branches with her wizened and green hands to add to the simple stove fire.
It was precisely because the firewood was too wet that the smoke that rose in the direction would be seen by Chen Xun.
The old lady was so smoky that she coughed, cough cough.
"Grandma, tell you to rest, why are you working again?" A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came out of the dilapidated house with a coughing sound.
"Cooking." The old lady took a handful of dried leaves from the basket and said.
Chen Xun and Lao Guo pushed open the door and walked in, and when they heard movement, the old lady stared at the dim eyes and turned to look at the door.
Neither the little girl nor the old lady expected that someone would suddenly break in in a deserted place.
"Who are you, and why did you come to my house?"
"Grandma, if you tell us how to go to the iron ore cave, I will give you a lot of fresh fish."
In order to make the old grandmother believe what he said, Chen Xun took out the large piece of fish meat behind him and showed it to the old lady and the little girl.
Although it was a cloudy day, the glittering luster of fresh fish, the little girl still saw it, the little girl who had not eaten food for a long time, just ate dry leaves, her eyes showed longing, and her eyes were firmly locked on the fish.
"What, how did you catch a big fish, there are wild beasts in the river, how many people have been devoured? If we can catch fish, why should we eat leaves? "Don't look at the old lady who is hunched over, but she still speaks aggressively.
"I'm afraid it's not some kind of fish, right?" The old lady's dim eyes looked at Chen Xun, and her eyes fell on the fish meat in Chen Xun's hand, as if Chen Xun was holding dead human flesh in his hand.
Chen Xun didn't contradict the old lady, after all, she was too old, and her old eyes were dizzy and couldn't see what kind of meat it was, which was understandable.
"Little girl, look at this is fish, right?" The fish has a fine texture, and everyone who has eaten it knows whether it is fish or not. Chen Xun stretched out the fish in his hand to the front again and showed it to his grandparents and grandchildren.
"Grandma, it's indeed fish, we've eaten it."
"How long has that been?" After the old lady finished speaking, she sighed heavily, and there were cloudy tears in her eyes.
His son and daughter-in-law were all in the process of fishing, and the fishing boat was overturned by an unknown creature and buried in the river.
Later, people in the village also died in the river one after another.
The creatures in the river, who ate a lot of humans, began to evolve into fierce beasts, and also used water arrows, so that even if people knew that the river was dangerous, they did not fish in the river, but just walked on the shore, and if they were not careful, they would be shot by water arrows and become food in the mouths of big guys.
"The people in the village are starving to death, and many of the creatures in the river are eating a lot, and there is almost no one in this area except for our grandparents."
Seeing the fish meat that Chen Xun handed to her, the old lady also recognized that it was fish, not dead human flesh.
So with a sad tone, he began to slowly tell Chen Xun about the past.
"Old man, if you help us find the iron ore cave, I promise to take you out of here." Chen Xun said with great certainty.
The food problem is no longer a big deal for Chen Xun, Professor Wang Neng has cultivated more and more varieties of grain, the agricultural park has been expanded again and again, and the back mountains that have been flattened by Gao Jimin have been reclaimed, and there will only be more and more grain planted in the future.
It is not a problem to provide for their grandparents and grandchildren.
"Where do you have food?"
"Yes, I absolutely guarantee that you will be fed!" Chen Xun replied in the affirmative again.
The old lady saw with her own eyes how many people starved to death in front of her, and being able to have food was a great luxury for them in the last days.
"Do you have it now, I want to eat some." The old lady was also really hungry, and she was also testing whether Chen Xun was telling the truth.
Chen Xun touched the buckle in his pocket, and after a while, he took out the rice cake, which was cooked with boiled sugar, and the rice grains on the rice cake were visible.
Handing the rice cake to the old lady, the old lady looked at it for a long time and muttered to herself: "Could it be that the god, the guardian god, has come down to earth?" Brought us food? ”
