Chapter 7: The Catastrophe is Merciless

The sound lasted for five or six minutes before it died down, and by the time Maruko opened my eyes again, the beard had already crawled ashore in embarrassment.

Fine scratches and bites could be faintly visible all around him, and more than half of the branches in his hands were broken, and the skin, scales, and blood of some animal were still stuck to the part of his hands.

I looked at the water again, although the wind and waves were calm, but the river was not as clear as before, and it had been stirred into a muddy soup by the wind and waves just now.

The muddy soup was mixed with aquatic plants, plastic islands, and countless dead fish and shrimp, and even two Wang Ba and a few water snakes that had been cut into several pieces, swaying and dying in the bloody water.

Walking up to us, he lay down on the ground weakly and asked, "Little White Rabbit, how much can we earn on this list?" ”

Xiao Maruko snapped his fingers and said, "The round-trip fee for food and lodging plus work expenses is more than four hundred!" ”

"If you lose it, you will have fewer orders to complain with the wild immortals in the future, and you will really lose your life, and you can't even afford a good coffin......"

He smiled bitterly, looked at me and my sister again, and said, "You two should go back too, it's over......"

As he spoke, the bearded man took out fifty yuan from the pocket of his coat, handed it to me and said, "Don't hurt others in the future, you kid will harm yourself in the end!" Use this money to buy some good food and drink, and when you grow up, be a good person, and repay your sister and society. ”

I didn't dare to take the money, but the beard was forced into my hand, and I stood up and left with the little ball.

Seeing this, my sister hurriedly caught up and said, "Master, there is one more thing to trouble you!" ”

The beard was stunned for a moment and stopped.

My sister said again: "That long worm said through the mouth of Sun Bald that my brother colluded with some foreign spirits, please break this matter too!" ”

After hearing this, the beard smiled and said: "Don't worry, that spirit is not here to harm him, he won't use feng shui to harm people in the future, and the spirit won't pester him." ”

"The rats that rescued him from the water are ......"

"Well...... this"

The beard pondered for a moment, and replied: "Although this thing is strange, it is not difficult to explain, the mouse's surname is Dou, and it has become a gray family immortal class......

The words of the beard reminded me that my sister often dug rat holes to find food because she was hungry, although the rats were not voluntary, but for me, they were indeed a great benefactor to help the suffering.

After the beard and the little pill head left, my sister and I also went back to the bridge cave, although we experienced a night of life and death, but we were too tired to toss, and we both slept deeply that night.

After dawn, I ran to the river bank to see, the silt and aquatic plants, fish and shrimp corpses in the river had already sunk to the bottom, and the river water was as clear as ever, as if there had never been such a tragic fight the night before.

It was the events of that night, which were rumored to be miraculous for a period of time, but as the children who were inhaled gradually recovered their health, the rumors were no longer over.

After some thrilling experience, my sister's life and I returned to peace, and no one really thought that a six-year-old child would know how to spread feng shui to harm people, only that I was simply stirred into the whole thing, and gradually forgot about me.

My sister and I still go to ask for food, and we are always hungry, and my sister often goes to dig rat holes to find food.

After all, at that age, we really don't know how to survive except begging from others and thinking of crooked ways.

But the difference is that after that night, Lao Yan left a deep impression on my heart.

I'd love to know what people like him have experienced before and what they will experience in the future.

However, it was three years later, when I was nine years old.

It was '98, and the devastating flood must still haunt many people.

At that time, due to the dam bursting, most of our county's grain fields were flooded, and the flood was followed by a pandemic.

Those of us who beg for food are even more bitter.

At that time, there was little food left in every household, and even fewer people were willing to give to us.

In order to survive, my sister took me out of the bridge and lived in an abandoned factory near the town's grain depot.

Because the grain depot was the place with the most grain in the town at that time, even if we couldn't get food, we could still go to the grain depot compound to pick up wheat grains to satisfy our hunger.

But it just so happened that not long after we lived in the past, a new inspector was transferred from the grain depot, and it was none other than Sun Bald.

Three years ago, Sun Bald forced Liu Laoshi to death and forcibly occupied the land of the commissary, and Sun Bald naturally couldn't do it, so he had no choice but to find relatives and friends to scrape together some money and hide in other places to work for two years.

It wasn't until the flood that year that Sun Bald returned to his hometown and donated all the more than 30,000 wages he had earned outside for more than two years to the flood-stricken area in his hometown, and he turned into a big philanthropist, and even the city's television station came to report his deeds at that time.

Taking this opportunity, Sun Bald can be said to have made a big splash, and took advantage of the situation to make a request in the town, saying that he wanted to make more contributions to his hometown after the disaster, no matter what position he listened to the leader's arrangement.

At that time, the post-disaster reconstruction of our whole town was the time to employ people, and Sun Bald was a local who knew the roots, so the town immediately arranged him to work in the grain depot as an inspector of the grain depot, responsible for checking the number of grain stored in the grain depot every day.

At that time, the position was said to be good and bad.

The good thing is that although it was not called a famine at that time, there was indeed a shortage of food in the town, and every household had little surplus food.

And the bad thing is that this position is not in the making, at best he is an inspector who supervises the grain depot, when the post-disaster reconstruction is over and life is back on track, he still has to go to work when he should work, and the town does not support idlers.

Although he was such a small official, Sun Bald was also in the limelight at that time, and he was also generous, and when he distributed relief food to the villages below, he often gave an extra three liters and four buckets, which was not a matter for him.

But only for me and my sister, Sun Bald had no kindness at all, and did not let us go into the grain depot canteen to ask for food, and even my sister went to the grain depot compound to pick up wheat grains, and he was blasted out with a shovel.

In fact, you don't have to think about it to know that he made an enmity with us because of that incident three years ago, and he deliberately targeted us.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and we can't help it.

One day, my sister and I went out to ask for food and got nothing, and I was so hungry at night, and I thought of Sun Bald's bullying, and I couldn't help but steal my witβ€”

He won't let me go to the granary to pick it up, so I'll steal it! What age is it, such a big person can't starve to death, right?

I made up my mind to get dressed and leave while my sister was asleep, and no one could have imagined it at that time, because I was impulsive and caused a big case involving thousands of lives.
