Chapter 504: Common Phenomenon
"I'm just passing by..." Xiang Yu performed very well, and several people completely mistook her for a weak woman picking herbs.
In desperation, Xiang Yu threw the hoe in his hand to the ground, as if there was really a flood or a beast behind him.
The man in the cave reacted quickly as well. He took big strides forward and soon caught up with Xiang Yu in front of him.
The man showed a mocking look on his face. He grabbed Xiang Yu by the back of the collar, lifted her up, and raised his right palm to slap the woman.
"Shut up..." the man spoke in broken Chinese and slapped her hard with his hand.
Xiang Yu flexibly turned her head to avoid the attack and covered her mouth tightly with her hands. Seeing that she was so tactful, the man carried her on his shoulders and brought her back to the cave.
As the distance got closer, Xiang Yu looked towards the people in the cave. They looked into Xiang Yu's eyes, and no expression of joy or anger could be seen on their faces.
One of the men gestured at his neck twice, indicating why he didn't kill the woman.
The few of them communicated in their native dialect, and the man pointed his finger in the direction of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu was thrown next to Xie Chunyan. He glanced at Xie Chunyan and felt relieved when he saw that her breathing was steady and there were only some scratches on her exposed wrist.
Listening carefully to the conversation between the few people, they could speak English, but only Xie Chunyan and she were beside them.
The few people spoke very cautiously and did not communicate in English.
Listening to their conversation, only one or two words of English would pop out of their mouths from time to time, but relying on the information they revealed.
Xiang Yu also made a rough analysis. They came here to sneak into China directly from the uninhabited plains.
Then they headed all the way to City A to find the location of the planet. This was the purpose of their trip. However, as soon as they entered the plain area, they were deeply shocked.
A woman I met casually in the mountains actually had so many fragrant whole grain cakes on her body.
The few survivors in their country now go hungry every day, and cannibalism is a common phenomenon among them.
Several people seemed to be a little hungry, so they opened a cloth bag. Xiang Yu glanced at the bag and saw that it should be Xie Chunyan's.
These people poured all the contents of the cloth bags onto the ground. Two pieces of coarse grain cakes fell out and each of the dozen or so people took a bite.
With the water, several people ate it with relish.
Xiang Yu's cross-body bag was also snatched away. The man opened her bag and only saw a few medicinal herbs inside.
The man came up to Xiang Yu and asked curiously, "What is this thing...", could this thing be eaten?
In their country, the tree roots in the ground were dug out and eaten. When the oxygen became thin, the nuclear contaminated waste from Country M and Country R was discharged onto the land of their country.
When the unknown plants began to parasitize, the land in their country was polluted and even the unknown plants had difficulty surviving.
Therefore, he had never seen these strange plants before.
Several people also cast doubtful looks at Xiang Yu, waiting for her answer.
But Xiang Yu didn't tell them the truth at all. He just said that these were edible and could be made into food.
Seeing Xiang Yu's frightened expression, several people immediately believed what she said, but no one dared to try and actually eat those things.
They were disappointed that they didn't find anything to eat in Xiang Yu's cloth bag.
As time passed, several people felt a little sleepy. They took turns to keep watch in pairs and moved stones to block the entrance of the cave.
The cold wind couldn't blow in, so the rest of the people leaned against the stone wall to rest.
After those people fell asleep, Xiang Yu looked at them with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but he did not take action in the end.
He touched Xie Chunyan beside him with his elbow, and Xie Chunyan soon woke up slowly. There was a cloth on her mouth. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to see the woman sitting next to her in the faint light of the fire. It was Xiang Yu.
Xie Chunyan's heart immediately calmed down. As long as Xiang Yu was here, she would be saved.
Xiang Yu put his hand on his lips, signaling Xie Chunyan not to speak, and then pulled out the cloth that was blocking her mouth.
The strip of cloth almost filled up the small oxygen mouthpiece, leaving only the nose open for breathing.
Xie Chunyan slowed down her breathing, fearing that she would wake them up.
Xiang Yu reached behind his waist and a sleeping pill appeared in his hand. He pulled the bracelet and the cave was filled with smoke. They immediately slept more soundly.
It can be seen that they are all ordinary people, so it is not difficult to deal with them.
