Chapter 27 is very strange
Now I'm tired and hungry, and arguing any further will only be a waste of time.
Ding Xiaodie knew that Dabao and Erbao were honest children, so they would only accept one portion no matter what they said, so she said, "Okay, then we'll listen to you today. You took two portions yesterday, and we'll take two portions today. Next time, it'll be your turn to take two portions. How about that?"
Dabao scratched his head: "Xiaodie, you really know the difference."
This little girl is so smart, his two brothers can never beat her.
Ding Gui made the decision and said, "It's settled. Everyone, stop arguing and let's go!"
Let’s talk about tomorrow’s affairs tomorrow! Dabao and Erbao were deeply grateful to the father and daughter. Without them, it would have been impossible for the two brothers to find food with their brute force.
The group of four returned with a full load and walked happily onto the street.
Unexpectedly, as I was walking, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
What about the people on the street?
Although only villagers from Aozigou settled in the entire town, it was impossible for everyone to stay indoors because everyone wanted to walk around and see if they could find something to eat. So they all hid in the house without making any noise, and the surroundings were so quiet that there was not a single sound.
Isn’t it weird?
The most important thing is that from time to time you can see villagers peeking at you from the window in a furtive manner.
What’s going on?
Erbao whispered, "Brother, they know we have food and want to steal it, right?"
We are all people who are walking forward with empty stomachs, and everyone knows the feeling of jealousy.
Dabao was also dumbfounded. He was a little panicked and didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Ding Gui: "Uncle, what's going on?"
Ding Guiyu choked: "..."
As a new human being who had just traveled through time, he had no idea what these villagers were thinking. He also knew very well that human nature could not stand the test. Otherwise, if they took a rabbit out of their clothes now, these people would definitely rush out to snatch it.
Ding Xiaodie was the calmest of the four people in the group. She looked around and waved her hand, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and go back to your own homes and find your own mothers. Hurry, hurry up."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her short legs and ran towards her house.
Ding Gui hurried to follow.
Dabao and Erbao were a little slow to react, but after they realized what was happening, they hurried back to their house.
"Mother, mother!"
As soon as she opened the door, Ding Xiaodie looked around anxiously. No matter what happened, even if the sky fell, she only cared about one thing at this moment, that is, her mother must not be in any danger.
Compared to his daughter, Ding Gui couldn't even utter a single word. When people are most nervous, they may suffer from temporary aphasia.
Just as the father and daughter rushed upstairs anxiously, they saw Zhang Xiu coming out of their room...
"mother."
"daughter in law."
When the father and daughter saw that she was safe and sound, they rushed over excitedly. The younger one hugged her legs, and the older one pulled his wife into his arms. It was so scary.
Zhang Xiu was a little confused: "What happened to you two?"
Wang Dafeng, who followed her out, saw this scene and said, "Pah, pah, pah, you bastard, you shame the immortal, you're hugging and kissing your wife in broad daylight, and Xiaodie is watching. It's really disrespectful."
The three members of the Ding family: "..."
Forget it, let’s separate, otherwise Wang Dafeng’s stomping feet will cause the floor to collapse!
After standing up, Ding Xiaodie asked, "Mom, what happened? Why is there no one on the street? Is everyone in the village okay?"
Zhang Xiu sighed and told the father and daughter that Lai Fu was taken away by a mysterious man on horseback.
She was also tired. After Lai Fu was taken away, no one in the village comforted Yang. She had no choice but to go there. After coming back, she had to persuade Wang Dafeng out from under the bed with all her heart.
If the old woman continues to stay under the bed and doesn't come out, she will get sick sooner or later.
"The village chief was taken away just like that?" Ding Gui found it unbelievable.
Ding Xiaodie was surprised: "In this day and age, people can still afford to keep horses. I thought only military camps had them. But you said he didn't look like a nomadic soldier from Modu."
Hearing his daughter say this, Zhang Xiu's face changed and he became a little nervous. "I wouldn't have thought it was true if you hadn't told me, but now I feel uneasy. You're right. In these times with no water or grass, how can ordinary people afford to raise livestock? Could it be that they are really nomadic soldiers in disguise?"
"But it doesn't make sense that they only took the village chief away. If they came for everyone, they wouldn't be so polite." Ding Gui analyzed seriously.
Just when the family of three was worried about the matter of Village Chief Lai Fu, Wang Dafeng, who was standing aside, squinted his triangular eyes and looked the father and daughter up and down.
Those cloudy eyes seemed to have a built-in scanner. They first looked at the rattan basket in Ding Gui's hand, and then at Xiaodie. It was obvious that the little girl had something hidden in her clothes, otherwise her back would not be so thick.
As Wang Dafeng watched, her eyes turned green!
She was so frightened by hunger that she would do anything to get food.
Wang Dafeng stepped forward and grabbed Ding Xiaodie's thin arm. "Xiaodie, did you bring back some delicious food for grandma? Come on, Xiaodie, I'm almost starving!"
Ding Xiaodie rolled her eyes helplessly: "Grandma, we had millet porridge this morning."
Compared to a day ago, the old woman could drink a bowl of porridge with them, and the conditions were much better.
"I know, but I'm just hungry. I'm still hungry even after eating." Wang Dafeng's face, which looked like it had been dried by the wind, was full of a pitiful expression.
In fact, Ding Xiaodie didn't want to give her the food. She had brought the two rabbits back and was originally planning to have a delicious meal of rabbit meat at home tonight. However, she didn't expect that the incident with Village Chief Lai Fu would happen. She didn't know whether he was dead or alive for a while, so she didn't even have the mood to eat.
But she also knew that she couldn't hide whether she would eat the rabbit or not, so she took out a rabbit from her clothes and handed it to Zhang Xiu: "Mom, let's cook a rabbit for us today."
"Rabbit!" Wang Dafeng's eyes sparkled with excitement when she saw more meat. She quickly reached out to hug the rabbit: "Great! There's meat to eat! There's meat to eat!"
The expressions of the three members of the Ding family were in stark contrast to Wang Dafeng's.
This old woman's nature is hard to change. She has no sympathy for others and only thinks about eating.
Just then, I seemed to hear someone talking on the street.
Ding Xiaodie hurried into the room and looked down from the second-floor window. It turned out that the door of Village Chief Lai Fu's house across the street was open.
Dabao and Erbao were seen knocking on doors of every house on the street in a panic.
"Uncle, your family has a boy. Come with us to find my father."
"Uncle, our family can't live without my father, and the village can't live without my father. Please send someone to go with us!"
