Chapter 71: The Unlucky People of Shen Village (1)



"Here I come."

Shen Ming quickly took the thing from his mother.

But even though he was much stronger, he was still pushed down by the pile of things.

After carrying the things to the open space and putting them down, Shen Yu'an explained: "At the beginning, I thought this thing was strange, so my grandmother and mother bought a few, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now."

"This thing is called a tent. Once we fix it to the ground, we won't have to lie out in the open at night."

After that, I taught everyone how to prop it up and fix it to the ground.

Everyone learned well and soon fixed the eight tents.

Several people were discussing enthusiastically.

"This is really a good thing. This is the first time I've seen it."

"But I think this thing is most practical when it rains. It will definitely keep out the rain better than a raincoat or oilcloth."

"Uncle Bai, Sister Miaoqing, please join us tonight." Shen Yu'an invited with a smile.

Bai Wu and Bai Miaoqing were both a little hesitant. It would definitely be more comfortable to lie in here at night than outside, but this thing looked very precious. If they agreed, wouldn't that mean they would be taking advantage of it again?

Others also followed Shen Yu'an's words and said, "Yes, Doctor Bai, this tent can hold several people, you can come too."

What they thought was that they would inevitably have to trouble him along the way.

If you want others to do their best, you must also give your all sincerely.

Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the Bai father and daughter agreed, but they both thanked the Shen family in their hearts.

The two little girls, Shen Yu'an and Bai Miaoqing, were assigned to the same tent.

Everyone slept comfortably that night and was not bitten by mosquitoes.

When they were on their way the next day, Bai Wu always felt that the reason why he and his daughter could sleep so comfortably at night was all thanks to the Shen family, so he took the initiative to come over and help them push the cart.

The Shen family didn't refuse, and after a while, they finally developed a bond.

After walking a short distance, they found many corpses on the road.

The weather was hot and the corpse was left in the scorching sun without anyone cleaning it, so it was covered with wriggling white worms.

As soon as we got closer, we saw maggots all over the ground. They were so densely packed that it was shocking and made people feel like they were suffering from claustrophobia.

When the adults saw this, they covered the children's eyes.

But Sanlang couldn't resist his curiosity and pulled open his mother's hand to take a look.

"Ugh! So disgusting!"

Zhao felt disgusted watching the scene. She suppressed her disgust and said, "You deserve it. Look how well behaved your fourth brother is, but you insisted on watching it."

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's move faster." Shen Yu'an raised his voice to ensure that everyone could hear him.

Bai Wu, who was walking behind, also took a few quick steps and said, "The little girl is right. If the corpse rots for a long time, an epidemic may occur. Everyone, hurry up and cover your mouth and nose."

Shen Yu'an also thought of this. She walked to the outside of the carriage where Xiao Zhang was, and as she walked, she used her hand to open the curtain a little.

She said, "Aunt San, please give me some of the masks you sewed before we set out."

As soon as they got here, Chen Yun asked Xiao Zhang to lower the curtains, fearing that the scene outside would scare her.

So little Zhang, who was sitting inside, had no idea what was going on outside.

When she saw a hand suddenly reach out and heard what her little niece said before she could react, she witnessed with her own eyes her magic method of creating things out of thin air.

Shen Yu'an's palm was facing up, and a small pile of strange-looking cloth appeared in his hand.

"Thank you, Third Aunt." Shen Yu'an smiled and pulled his hand out.

Then she took the masks she had sewn before leaving and distributed them to everyone, even the Bai family's father and daughter.

"Put the two holes on the ears and cover the mouth and nose with cloth." Shen Yu'an simply taught everyone how to use it.

No one bothered to look at the things stuffed into their hands, and hurriedly put them on according to Shen Yu'an's instructions.

Along the way, there were several dead bodies at regular intervals, all of them rotten without exception.

No one dared to stop and didn't even have time to rest at noon. They just wanted to get through the area as quickly as possible.

It was not until the evening that the number of corpses on the ground gradually decreased, but they continued to move forward, trying to get away from there.

Finally, they saw a mountain not far away.

After walking for several thousand meters in one go, everyone finally arrived at the foot of the mountain before dark.

Shen Yun took a long breath and said, "I can finally stop and rest. I'm almost dying of exhaustion."

The others were also extremely tired and bent over to pound their sore calves.

"Hurry up and cook. We've been tired all day. Let's take a good rest after dinner."

As Mrs. Shen spoke, she took the lead in taking down the pots and pans from the car, and Mrs. Song, Mrs. Zhao, and Ding Hehua also hurriedly lent a hand.

Seeing that the Bai family father and daughter had also put the pot on the ground to prepare to cook, she said, "Miaoqing girl, stop busying yourself. Let's put two more handfuls of rice in the pot and let's eat together today."

"That's not a good idea. Dad and I can just do something simple." Bai Miaoqing refused with a shy smile.

Shen Yu'an walked over and pulled up Bai Miaoqing, who was squatting on the ground, and pulled her to their side without giving her a chance to refuse.

"Everyone is tired after a day's work, so let's not make too much fire. Sister Miaoqing, come over and help."

She knew that the Bai family's father and daughter were not the ones who liked to take advantage of others, so they asked her for help.

"Okay then, but only this time." Bai Miaoqing said.

After walking on the road for so long, they had used up all the meat and vegetables they brought with them, but fortunately, there was still a lot of sauce left that Shen Yu'an had brought out.

Each person had a big bowl of sticky white porridge, as well as hot pancakes with the sauce that Shen Yu'an took out from the space. It was simply the most delicious food on earth while fleeing from famine.

Everyone ate with great satisfaction, feeling that much of the day’s fatigue had been dissipated.

However, the people of Shenjia Village on the other side were not so lucky.

After they parted ways with the Shen family, they continued on their journey eastward.

They met quite a few people on the road. They all looked pale and thin, and it was obvious that they had not eaten a full meal for a long time.

Those people also saw that this group of people had a lot of food on them.

Some people who were so hungry that they red-eyed wanted to go up and snatch their food, and soon the two sides started fighting with each other.

Those people who were so hungry that they had lost their minds began to loot the food of the people in Shenjia Village.

Their ruthlessness allowed them to pull down a lot of food, which was scattered on the ground.

These people did not care that the flour was mixed with the dust on the ground, nor did they care that the grains were not husked at all.

When they saw the food on the ground, they just lay there and started eating it. They put dirt mixed with the food into their mouths, and they kept eating even when they choked and rolled their eyes.

But after all, they are not as strong as those in Shenjia Village who can eat every day, nor are they as populous as those in Shenjia Village.

Soon these people were hacked to death by the ruthless people from Shenjia Village.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining people quickly fled with the food they had snatched.
