At daybreak, the refugees who had been sleeping outdoors on the official road began to wake up one after another. Most of them wanted to take advantage of the cool morning weather and set off earlier.
Someone passed by the Su family, just took a look, and left.
Some people stopped and looked at them carefully.
"Dad, Mom, do you think those people are dead?" A half-grown child looked at the Su family.
The adult in the family took a look and his eyes were attracted by the clothes scattered around.
That dress looks okay.
The man walked forward and pointed his finger under Old Man Su's nose, and could clearly feel the breath he exhaled.
I suddenly felt unlucky and thought they were dead.
It is not surprising to see people like this dying in their sleep while fleeing famine.
I thought the whole family was in the same situation, but I didn't expect that they were all still alive.
The man was about to get up and leave, but he couldn't help but look at the scattered luggage again, and then at the Su family members who showed no signs of waking up. Greed overcame reason, and he quickly picked up a scattered piece of clothing.
After taking one piece, he saw that the Su family was still asleep and did not react at all. Suddenly, he became bolder and quickly picked up several more pieces of clothes and took them all for himself.
After taking a few pieces of clothing, the man decided to quit and left quickly.
The people who were traveling behind saw this scene.
Seeing that the man just took only clothes, they subconsciously thought that the Su family members were all corpses. They did not take other clothes, bamboo tubes, and pottery jars. The others immediately rushed over and started to snatch those useful things without any hesitation.
“This one is mine.”
“Obviously I got it first.”
"Get out of here! I got it first."
Everyone started scrambling for it, and in the midst of the pushing and shoving, someone pushed down a member of the Su family, and someone else stepped directly on a member of the Su family.
In their eyes, these people were just corpses, so they naturally had no scruples. However, the sleeping Su family members felt pain, frowned slightly, and gradually woke up.
The first ones to wake up were the eldest wife, Lu, who ate the least, and old man Su, who was hit in the chest by someone.
Mrs. Lu and Old Man Su opened their eyes one after another. They heard noisy quarrels and their hands and feet were stepped on from time to time. The pain made them more awake.
When the two saw the situation clearly, they were dumbfounded. They saw a group of people fighting for things, and those things belonged to their family.
Old Man Su's eyes widened with anger and he opened his mouth, "Stop!"
These people are so focused on the fight that no one would listen. Even if they heard someone shouting "Stop," they were so obsessed with the fight that no one cared at all.
Lu angrily pushed the person in front of the door away. The person was about to say something when he saw that it was the corpse next to him who had "resurrected". He was so scared that he froze.
"Shit, he's resurrected from the dead." The man exclaimed, and the other people who were there to rob turned their heads.
The other members of the Su family also woke up one after another. They opened their eyes and saw that their belongings were held in the hands of these people.
"What are you doing?"
The looters saw that the Su family members had woken up, and they all realized that they were not dead. But it was absolutely impossible for them to return the things they had taken to the other party.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Run."
Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream and dispersed.
The Su family members stood up and wanted to stop them, but they found that their limbs were weak. As soon as they stood up, their bodies fell back down.
They could only watch helplessly as their belongings were snatched away.
Old Lady Su cursed and cried at the group of people, "These bastards! Oh, God, please take these bastards away. You beasts, you shall not die well. I curse you to have no descendants..."
Old Mrs. Su's shouting was so loud that it gave people a headache. The Su family members looked gloomy and a low-pressure atmosphere lingered around them. The three brothers from the second branch all noticed it. The three brothers, who were originally lively and alert, now didn't even dare to fart.
"Mom, stop shouting." Su Xiaoyong yelled at Old Lady Su impatiently.
Old Mrs. Su was angry. "My things have been taken away by someone. What's wrong with me scolding them?"
Li said, "Mom, please save your saliva. There is not a drop of water in our house now."
When this matter was mentioned, Old Mrs. Su fell silent instantly. She dared not say more and save her breath.
Mrs. Lu, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Dad and Mom, do you feel weak?"
Upon hearing this, the Su family members nodded.
"I usually sleep lightly, but today, with so many people around me and making so much noise, I still couldn't wake up. I'm afraid there was something wrong with the food we ate yesterday."
The Su family immediately thought of the wild vegetables they had eaten yesterday.
"It's that wild vegetable!" Li exclaimed.
Old Mrs. Su was furious. They thought to themselves that these damned little bastards were responsible for finding some crappy wild vegetables, which led to all their luggage being stolen.
"Xinyang, Xinguang." Old Mrs. Su gritted her teeth and squeezed out two names, looking around for the two brothers.
Not only her, but others also started looking for the two brothers.
Upon seeing this, the Su family was dumbfounded.
Where are the two brothers Su Xinyang and Su Xinguang here?
From the time they woke up until now, no one in the Su family paid attention to the two brothers. It was not until this moment that they realized that the two brothers had disappeared long ago.
"Where are they going?"
"Where are they?"
"Where did those two little bastards go?"
Mrs. Lu tried to think back, and it seemed that she had not seen the two brothers since she woke up. "Dad, Mom, could it be that they left a long time ago?"
When these words came out, the Su family members' hearts trembled slightly.
"No, that's impossible." Li denied subconsciously.
How could these two brothers be so scheming? They are just young adults.
"How is that impossible!" Madam Lu angrily retorted, "Thinking carefully about what happened last night, it was clearly those two little bastards who deliberately tricked us into eating those wild vegetables. They must have known that those wild vegetables were not edible."
"Oh! My God, why is my life so miserable? I raised two ungrateful people. If I had known this would happen, I should have given them to those people yesterday to prevent them from bringing harm to our family." Old Mrs. Su began to cry and curse again.
Even if Old Man Su didn't want to admit it, he had to accept his fate. He had lived to such an old age, but in the end he was badly betrayed by two seven-year-old children.
"Sigh..." He sighed heavily.
Everything we ate, drank and used was taken away.
What to do now!
Old Mrs. Su suddenly thought of something and began to search for something in her arms. After searching for a while, the color on her face faded away bit by bit.
After searching every corner of the body, his face turned pale.
It's gone, everything is gone...
“Boom”…
Old man Su's blood rushed to his heart and he suddenly fell backwards.
