Chapter 4 Coma
The days ahead will be tough...
Lu Jinnian must not only pay attention to the children's condition, but also be wary of anyone paying attention to them.
Although there is not much meat left for the few people combined, we still have to be cautious.
That kind of thing will happen in the end of the world, let alone now?
When people are hungry, they will do anything.
Therefore, Lu Jinnian must keep an eye on these brothers and sisters. At least in the eyes of those people, they have more meat than wild rabbits.
At night, by the campfire.
"Jinnian." The village chief looked at the bamboo pole brother and sister opposite. In fact, the bamboo pole is taller than them.
Lu Jinnian looked at the village chief, not knowing why he called himself and his brothers and sisters to come over.
Just now, they were about to rest when someone came to call them.
The village chief hesitated for a moment and said, "Now that we are in the north, we don't know where to go. If you can't keep up with us later, we won't wait."
In fact, this is normal. Some people have food, so they can hold on for a long time. If you
can't eat without food, you definitely won't have the strength to walk, and it is normal to fall behind.
Lu Jinnian saw that he already understood what he meant. He was just telling her that if she fell behind now, she shouldn't blame others for not waiting for them.
"Village chief." She nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Everyone wants to escape. There is no need to wait for us."
There was no need to say anything extra. At this point, it was good enough that they were not driven out.
This was also the reason why there was still food. If there was no food, these brothers and sisters might become someone else's meal.
Lu Jinnian always made the worst plan, so he had to be mentally prepared for everything.
Seeing that she understood, the village chief didn't say anything. As for feeling guilty? Impossible.
People are selfish, and no one will consider what will happen to irrelevant people.
After this conversation, other people will also look at these children with pity.
Of course, that's all. No one will say anything to pity them.
In this day and age, it's good enough to ensure the survival of your family. Who will speak for others?
"Sister, what do they mean?" Lu Jincheng sat on the ground, his voice trembling.
Obviously, he understood, but he couldn't accept such a result.
Lu Jinnian sighed, patted him on the back and said, "We have to rely on ourselves. There is no reason for others to help us, understand?"
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. It is a foolish idea to expect others to lead you out of the abyss.
Unfortunately, although Lu Jincheng is sensible, he is unwilling to accept such a cruel reality.
Although he has lost his way after so many days of fleeing famine, he still has expectations for life.
Looking at the negativity of his younger brothers and sisters, Lu Jinnian did not say anything positive.
Sometimes reality will teach them how to be a person. Compared with those useless poisonous chicken soups, she would rather let these children recognize the reality.
Half a month has passed, and they have fallen behind. There is nothing they can do about it. Even if the main force is waiting for them, they can't keep up.
In fact, the current situation is also within Lu Jinnian's expectations.
Even if she doesn't fall behind, she has to find a way to leave the main force.
Although it is dangerous to lead a few children, it is more dangerous to be with so many people.
Because the secrets on her cannot be known to others.
And the one and a half pancakes were long gone. She wanted to take her brothers and sisters into the city to beg for food. It didn't matter if they had no dignity, survival was the most important thing.
But the city gate towers they passed by were heavily guarded, and they couldn't get in at all, let alone beg for food.
"Big sister, are we going to die?"
Looking at the ferocious gatekeepers in the distance, Lu Jincheng no longer had any hope of entering the city.
Many people who had fled famine gathered outside the city gate. It was obvious that they were not allowed to enter here for fear of riots.
Lu Jinnian looked back at her skinny brother and sister, and felt really sorry. She didn't dare to take out food on the road, because everyone was starving more than a dog's nose at this time, so she couldn't do that.
But it couldn't go on like this, she had to change the status quo. She
originally wanted to find a place to settle down and talk about it later, but now if she didn't eat, these radish heads would die.
She sighed and said, "Let's stay away from this place. There is no place to give porridge if we can't get in, and it's useless to stay here."
There were many refugees nearby, but the government didn't seem to want to help.
Not to mention porridge, there was no boiled water.
The brother and sister had no ideas of their own, but they really couldn't walk.
About two miles away from the city gate, Lu Jinqiu couldn't hold on and fell directly on the side of the road.
"Jinqiu!" Lu Jinxin exclaimed, and then cried, "Jinqiu, don't die!"
She wanted to shout, but there was no way, she didn't have any strength at all.
Seeing Lu Jinqiu fall down, Lu Jinnian hurried over to take a look. Fortunately, he was not dead, but fainted.
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, then she carried Lu Jinqiu on her back and said, "You guys come with me, let's stay here."
Although it was very close to the city, there was no other way, and it was too far to walk.
Lu Jinxin followed behind crying, and Lu Jincheng was also at a loss, why did they become like this. He
had eaten so many tree roots and wild vegetables in the past few days, and he didn't know how hard it would be to survive...
Lu Jinnian saw that it was still early, so she asked her brothers and sisters to wait there, and she went outside to find dry firewood for making a fire.
Food also needs to be solved, otherwise these children really can't stand it, and they have reached their limit.
Looking at the rabbits running around not far away, Lu Jinnian broke a branch from the tree and followed quietly.
There was food and bows and arrows in the space, but these things should not appear on her.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she could only use the most primitive method to hunt, hoping to hit a rabbit or other small animals.
In this kind of weather, even if you catch a large prey, you can't store it, and you're not allowed to enter the city, so it's impossible to sell it.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinnian suddenly threw the branch in his hand, and then watched a rabbit quickly run out of the bushes opposite.
Obviously, it didn't hit at all.
But this didn't discourage her, and she continued to look around attentively.
Now that she knows her hand strength, she will definitely hit it next time.
With three branches in her hand, Lu Jinnian gathered strength and threw it out again.
This time, you can hear that it hit!
With a smile in her eyes, she quickly ran over to check.
There was a gray rabbit stuck under the branch, and it was no longer breathing.
The branch pierced the rabbit's upper limbs, and blood flowed out along the branch.
Now there is no knife that can be used. She wants to peel the skin back, but how to explain the origin of the knife?
