Qin Qing was so shocked by this scene that she couldn't recover for a long time. She could understand every word the woman said. The mixed messages made her cry. Not only was she dressed like a fool, but she was also fleeing from famine.
It’s so miserable!!
A shadow suddenly came over her head and lifted her from the car, blocking the woman's resentful sight. The suddenly open field of vision allowed Qin Qing to look around.
There were ragged people walking around in groups of three or four, with their families. They were all very thin, with unsteady steps and pale faces. A hunchbacked old woman walked around their cart, looked at the family, and her face was indifferent, as if she was accustomed to such tragedies.
On the road of fleeing famine, every family has lost a child, and even she herself is now an elderly widower.
Seeing this tall and thin man gradually carrying him away from the group, Qin Qing couldn't help but grab his collar.
"Girl, Daddy is sorry..." The man's voice was filled with pain and struggle.
Qin Qing wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked. A strange emotion occupied her heart, and she felt indescribable sadness. Her eyes were sore, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Hmm…”
The man laid her down carefully, leaning her lightly against the edge of the slope. Then he hardened his heart and turned to leave. The two indentations on her back seemed to make his back look a little hunched.
"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for!" the woman urged repeatedly. Seeing that the large group was about to go far away, she couldn't help but feel anxious as she was worried about what would happen if she followed behind them.
"Here it comes..." The man suddenly stepped back and hugged her. Qin Qing felt something was stuffed under her body. Before she could react, the hug was pulled away.
Just like the warmth that was too late to be felt, a feeling of sadness dissipated with the hug. The man's steps were staggering and hurried. Qin Qing felt panic in her heart and couldn't help but call out "Dad..."
If you guys are separated from the main group, you don’t even know if you can survive. If a little brat like me is separated from others, I’m afraid I will die!!!
Qin Qing's strong desire to survive made him want to grab this life-saving straw, but the sound he made was actually a gasp.
Holy crap!!!
Seeing that the family was reuniting, the man put the rope of the cart back on his shoulders. The little girl climbed up and looked towards him in confusion, but was pressed on the cart by her mother, while the woman never looked at them from beginning to end.
Qin Qing realized belatedly that she had been abandoned by this family.
Looking around, the trees were all bare, even the tender leaves had been plucked out. The land under my butt was as clean as if a locust had passed through. All the edible weeds had been pulled out, revealing the soil with a fishy smell.
It is difficult for people to survive in this environment.
Qin Qing sighed silently in his heart, and groped under his body, taking out the thing his father put down and looking at it. It turned out to be a ball of dark green vegetable balls. He didn't know what wild vegetables it was made of, but it smelled fragrant and was very fresh.
You have to eat a full meal before you die. Qin Qing took the wild vegetable ball to his mouth and took a big bite.
"Ugh..." It was so disgusting that Qin Qing, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, wanted to die right there. Although this was an authentic wild vegetable ball, she still swallowed the second bite of the ball with tears in her eyes, holding her aching stomach.
I finished the small vegetable ball in a few bites and felt my energy and strength restored a little.
Qin Qing supported herself on the ground with her elbows and climbed up tremblingly. She could no longer see the group of people in sight. She hurriedly climbed up the slope, wanting to see which direction her so-called relatives were going. However, her foot slipped, and the little girl, who had no strength to begin with, fell down the slope.
The fall shook her small body so much that Qin Qing completely lost the strength to get up, and her whole body was screaming in pain.
Oh my god, it’s over! ! ! !
