Xu Yinyin curled up and lay down, clicking on Tongzi's control panel in her mind, looking at the two exchange opportunities, pondering for a long time, and planned to use the opportunity she got this afternoon.
I opened a can of meat and my mouth was craving for meat, so I couldn't help it.
If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come, just use it once.
"Tongzi, I will use this opportunity to exchange for glucose powder."
[Ding! Already redeemed, please check the host!]
Then, there was an additional can of glucose powder on the shelf. There was also no extra label, and the amount was 500 grams per can.
I originally wanted to exchange for canned meat, but canned meat cannot be taken out blatantly and everyone eats it together, so Xu Yinyin thought about it and exchanged it for this glucose powder. There happened to be water now, mix it in the water, everyone would drink some, and it would also supplement nutrition.
and energy.
It was already dark, the fire was set up, the light was flickering, the boiling water in the pot was bubbling, and it would boil soon.
Xu Yinyin pretended to sit down and warm herself up by the fire. Taking advantage of the darkness and no one paying attention, she quickly poured a lot of glucose powder into the two pots under the cover of her sleeves.
The water was boiled, the fire was turned on, and the water was left to dry first. The wind was strong at night, and the boiling water soon became almost cold. The women from each family took their own gourds and bamboo tubes to fill the water one by one.
Two large pots of water can hold a lot.
…
The night watchman had been tending the fire, but that day, the night was very cold, so he couldn't sleep well even if he lay down like this. So before dawn, everyone got up one after another.
After setting up a few more fires and warming up around them, my body quickly warmed up.
On the other side of the creek, at the foot of the hillside, you can vaguely see people's homes. I think it's a village there.
Yesterday evening, Old Man Xu noticed that there was smoke coming from the kitchen, it must be someone living there.
At this time, old man Xu planned to ask Xu Chunhe and several other women to go to the village to see if they could beg for some food.
But before I even started, I heard a commotion from the other side.
"Beat you thief to death! Beat him! Beat him to death!"
"Quick! Don't let him get away!"
Everyone was startled and jumped up to see what was going on.
I saw a group of men wielding hoes and shovels chasing the two ragged people in front of them. The two men had sallow faces and thin muscles. I guess they were refugees who had escaped just like them. After all, they couldn't outrun a group of villagers and hadn't climbed up the slope yet.
, and was caught up.
A big man stepped on the man who was eating steamed buns, causing him to vomit out everything in his mouth. Then, everyone fell on the two of them with their hoes and shovels, most likely beating them to death.
momentum.
"You dare to come to our Gaojia Village to steal things. You are so impatient! There are quite a few refugees coming to our Gaojia Village these days to enjoy the autumn breeze. We have a large population in Gaojia Village, so we are not afraid of you! Don't think that we are easy to bully.
Beat me hard!" The leader pointed at the two men and said fiercely.
During this process, the leader who did not take action also discovered the people on this side of the creek.
Seeing so many refugees here, he raised his eyebrows, then yelled at the villagers and beat the two people on the ground to death, as if to intimidate them.
The beating lasted until there was no movement between the two people on the ground, and then they stopped. These people were not worried about whether they had killed someone, so they turned around with their hoes and went back boldly.
The leading man glared fiercely in this direction and spat.
Everyone waited and watched for a long time, but did not see the two people on the opposite side move. Old Mrs. Xu swallowed her saliva and pulled Old Man Xu, "His dad, let's not go to that village. What kind of village is this?
Too cool."
Old Man Xu was also sighing. The people in that village were so powerful that he naturally did not dare to ask people to go there, lest he would not get anything to eat and would be driven away and beaten to death.
Looking at the two people who were motionless, Xu Chunhe asked Xu Chunhe to go over and take a look.
Xu Chunhe took a long stride, jumped over the creek, walked towards the two people, raised his hand to check their breathing, then trembled with his hand, and hurried back, "I'm out of breath."
Was he beaten to death?
Mr. Xu made a move, thinking about the way the man glared when he left, he quickly asked everyone to pack up and left.
Everyone left the creek, took a long detour, returned to the previous road, and continued walking forward.
After walking all morning, I stopped to catch my breath.
Seeing that there were no refugees around except them, Old Man Xu asked everyone to drink some water quickly.
At that moment, each family brought out bamboo tubes and began to drink water among themselves.
"Huh? How does this water taste so sweet?" Old Man Zhou asked in surprise.
Others who drank the water were also surprised one after another.
"Daughter-in-law Dashan, did you put sugar in when you boiled the water?" Old Mrs. Shi asked.
Mrs. Zheng shook her head hastily, "No, we don't have sugar. Where can we get the sugar?"
"Then this is strange. This water tastes really sweet when you drink it. Is there something wrong with my mouth?" Old Mrs. Zheng said.
"That's not right. It tastes sweet to me when I drink it. We all can't have mouth problems, right?"
"I guess the water in that creek is sweet?"
"..."
After Xu Yinyin took a sip of water, she lowered her head and calmed herself down, pretending not to hear the big guy's murmur.
But she felt Xu Wuya next to her secretly glance at her.
At this stall, she is extra sensitive.
Couldn't help but look up at her.
Xu Wuya took a peek and was caught by her. She was so frightened that she shrank her neck and didn't raise it again for a long time.
Xu Yinyin looked at the top of her head for a long time. At this moment, she counted at least twenty lice crawling on her head.
But that's not important. What are lice? Everyone has them.
"Wu Ya, would you like to go relieve yourself with me?"
Xu Wuya quickly raised her eyes to look at Xu Yinyin and shook her head.
Mrs. Zhou immediately patted her and said, "Your fourth sister calls you, so you go with her. Why are you so dawdling?"
Xu Yinyin grinned, stretched out her hand to pull Xu Wuya, and the two of them walked into the forest together.
Xu Chunshan was following from a distance. Although there was no one around, he had to feel at ease following him.
Xu Yinyin didn't really do it for convenience. She turned around a big tree and couldn't see it, so she stopped and looked at Xu Wuya with a smile.
Seeing her, Xu Wuya clung to the tree trunk and shrank back, "Fourth, fourth sister."
"Wu Ya, what are you afraid of? I don't eat people." Xu Yinyin said in a gentle tone.
Xu Wuya shook his head, "I, I'm not afraid."
"Yes, the fourth sister knows that you are not afraid. The fourth sister is just curious. Wuya, can you tell the fourth sister why you always look at me secretly? Do you have something to say to the fourth sister?"
Xu Yinyin said seductively: "There is no one else here now, just the two of us. What do you want to say? Tell the fourth sister, and the fourth sister will listen to it."
Xu Wuya raised his eyes and looked at her quickly, "No, nothing to say."
"Really?" Xu Yinyin smiled, "Wu Ya, lying will make your nose grow longer."
Xu Wuya subconsciously touched her nose, and found that it was not growing. She breathed a sigh of relief, then reacted and quickly glanced at Xu Yinyin.
Seeing Xu Yinyin's smiling face and gentle eyes, she pursed her lips.
After a moment, she said: "I, I smelled... meat, yesterday."
