Chapter 79 A Father Worse than an Animal
Shi Jiaojiao, who was being missed by Xiao Hei, had already found the cooking area according to the signs.
Neither of them started cooking, but just observed their surroundings.
If everyone's conditions are not good and no one is cooking, then try not to make too much noise and just get through these few days.
But I didn't expect that the people who came to cook were all in good condition, and there were quite a few of them.
It was already past one in the morning, but due to the emergency evacuation, some people had not eaten dinner to save food, so they were already starving.
After thinking it over, I decided to eat something before going to bed.
Although not everyone has access to fuel, some use alcohol stoves, while others simply carry firewood on their backs.
There is a more eye-catching one, which makes dumpling soup. Now that the weather is cold, drinking a bowl of the soup will make you feel a lot more comfortable.
The noodles used to make dumpling soup are of course multi-grain noodles, but they are still precious even now, not to mention that various dried vegetables and shredded meat are also added to it.
The fragrance spread far away.
I don’t know how it was preserved for so long, but if the conditions are good, there is always a way. The power in my house has not been cut off.
That family directly attracted most of the attention, and Mu Ci also took out the magnetic furnace.
After the water boils, put the noodles in first, then cut the luncheon meat into small pieces, add two spoons of chili sauce, and various seasoning packets and cook together.
In fact, if you want it to taste better, you should fry the luncheon meat first, it will be more fragrant.
But now with so many people here, it’s better to keep a low profile.
Of course, this little bit of food is not enough to fill Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci, so they can only find a place where no one is around and quietly have a snack.
The pot was covered while cooking to prevent the aroma from spreading too far. Fortunately, the dumpling soup made by this restaurant was very delicious and perfectly covered the aroma of the instant noodles.
Just when Shi Jiaojiao was bored and waiting for the noodles to be cooked, there was a commotion not far away.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the family was in trouble.
The family that makes the dumpling soup should be well-off. A middle-aged woman is busy working there, and two boys around 18 or 19 are standing by.
Opposite them stood a little girl of four or five years old, staring at the pot but not saying a word.
The middle-aged woman frowned.
She had only a little meat left in her house, and she wanted to use it to nourish her son, but the little girl refused to leave no matter how she tried to drive her away.
Many people nearby had seen the commotion here. Maybe they smelled the fragrance of the dumpling soup and felt jealous, or maybe they felt that the little girl was really pitiful, so they started talking at once.
"Oh, just give her a bowl. How much can a child eat? Besides, she is so skinny."
"Your family is so well off, so what if you give me one bowl? How inhumane!"
"Two young men wouldn't starve to death if they eat less, but you're just going to watch your child cry? The next generation is doomed."
The two boys looked like they were just entering college, and they had always been taught to respect the elderly and love the young. But food was so precious now that their parents were reluctant to eat more, let alone give it to outsiders.
Hearing everyone around them say this, their faces instantly turned red, and they looked helpless.
But as a mother, she is strong-willed. No matter what others say, they are all bullshit. She has only two words to say: no.
If the other party refuses to give it, there is nothing the onlookers can do.
You can't just go up and rob it, right?
Besides, even if you grab the food, it won’t go into your stomach.
For a child, it's not necessary.
The crowd gradually dispersed and the little girl left without knowing when.
Everyone thought that the matter was over, but suddenly there was a heart-wrenching cry mixed with a few scoldings.
Shi Jiaojiao frowned and looked over.
I saw the little girl huddled in a corner with obvious slap marks on her face.
Next to her stood a middle-aged man.
"Damn, you're useless. You can't even get food. I should have sold you when you were born. I could have made some money..."
While speaking, he felt unsatisfied and raised his foot to kick the child.
However, before the kick landed, the whole person was kicked to the ground.
The middle-aged man groaned in pain, raised his head to see the person in front of him clearly, and angrily cursed, "Where did you come from, little girl, to dare to interfere in my affairs, alive..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain on his face and two of his teeth were knocked out.
Shi Jiaojiao took a look at the two slap marks on the little girl's face, and without saying a word, she gave the middle-aged man another one.
Then he walked up to the little girl who was hiding in the corner and pulled her behind him.
The middle-aged man lay on the ground, covering his chest and howling.
Shi Jiaojiao sneered. She retracted her force on her foot. It would hurt, but she would not be injured.
She was not a nosy person, but if she didn't take action this time, the little girl might not live long.
There were a lot of people around, and no one understood what was going on.
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the little girl behind her.
She had stopped crying at this time, her face was dirty, and there were marks left by the tears.
She stayed where she was, not saying a word, with a blank and dull look in her eyes.
The child was still wearing spring clothes, which were not thick, but the middle-aged man was wearing a long down jacket.
Seeing Shi Jiaojiao trying to lift up the child's sleeves, the middle-aged man immediately howled, even louder than before.
"Give the child back to me! You're stealing the child!"
But Shi Jiaojiao turned a deaf ear to her and pulled up a corner of her sleeve, revealing the little girl's arm.
I saw that there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his arm, it was covered with bruises and purples, with new wounds stacked on top of old ones.
Even the arms are like this, not to mention other places.
The little girl didn't react at all and just let everyone stare at her blankly.
Seeing this situation, everyone was shocked.
Although everyone was a bit fanning the flames just now, they also felt sorry for the little girl.
Who knew that this child was actually forced.
The wind direction suddenly changed, and those who had just been morally blackmailing the man began to curse him.
"Is this child your own? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, how could you have the heart to do this to him?"
"Is this child trafficked here? That's why he doesn't feel sorry for him at all?"
"That makes sense. Who would be so harsh on their own child?"
"It turns out that he was the one who pushed the child out to ask for food. Even if someone gave it to him, it probably wouldn't go into the child's mouth."
"Of course he is. Didn't you see that the man still has some flesh on his face? This is definitely not the first time he has done this."
"What a sin."
The middle-aged man sneered, his expression arrogant, "Is it not possible for me to beat up my own child? There was no such law in the past."
He even felt justified and didn't care about other people's curses at all.
Shi Jiaojiao took two steps forward and stepped on his chest again, pushing the man who had just stood up to the ground. She applied a little force with her foot and said, "Do you think we can't do anything to you?"
The middle-aged man felt a dull pain in his chest, but he remained tough. He simply couldn't believe that someone would dare to kill someone here.
Isn't it just getting beaten? Before the end of the world, he was a small thug, and his best skill was getting beaten.
He lay on the ground, even with a smile on his face, “You really can’t do anything to me.”
After saying that, he looked around again, "Every time you scold me, I will beat her up again when I get home. Come on, keep scolding me! If you have the guts, take her home and raise her!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around shut up.
It’s hard enough to support myself now, so how can I have the energy to support others? Although the little girl is pitiful, it is not her own fault.
Shi Jiaojiao stepped hard and stopped him from speaking. Just when she was about to step on him a few more times to teach him a lesson, she saw a path made by the crowd.
Several people walked in from outside.
