Chapter 7 Chaos
"This old fool." Sun gritted her teeth.
Zhu cursed viciously, "Starve to death with the third brother's family, old thing."
Ding Xiaodie, who was walking beside her parents, couldn't help but look up at Wang Dafeng curiously. She had just called her two sons beasts. Could it be that although she was rude and unreasonable to their family, she actually knew everything in her heart?
Putting aside other things, Ding Xiaodie had to admire this old woman for her determination to curse even if the sky fell.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dafeng suddenly looked at her and started cursing, "What are you looking at? You little girl, you are so naughty at such a young age, and you are playing tricks on me. Your parents are just two idiots. If you hadn't given them the idea, would they have thought of this? Humph, you dare to ask me to climb such a high slope by myself, Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu, you two are heartless people."
The three members of the Ding family: "..."
It seems that there is still a long way to go to shut the old woman's mouth.
Soon, the family of four arrived at the front of the team.
Following the villagers, we walked onto the official road, turned two corners on the hill, and finally saw the city gate archway with the words "Yangliu Town" written on it.
"Oh, we're finally here!"
"We are saved, we are saved. No one in our village will starve to death anymore."
"Hurry up! Let's go in and ask for it from house to house. The more we can get, the better!"
The few strong villagers at the front rushed forward with all their might...
Now that they have come this far, the four members of the Ding family naturally cannot fall behind. Originally, Ding Gui could no longer carry the old woman, but if he didn't carry her, his wife had to do it. He had no choice but to struggle until now.
Seeing that they had finally reached their destination, he instantly perked up and ran forward with his wife on his back: "Xiaodie, wife, follow me, hurry up!"
Zhang Xiu immediately held his daughter's hand tightly and reminded her, "Dad, make sure no one steps on you this time."
If you step on it again, you will really die.
Ding Xiaodie tried hard to keep up with her mother's pace, but her short legs were really a hindrance at this time.
But as she ran, she felt something was wrong!
Why was there no one on the streets of the town? At this moment, the villagers following behind them rushed into the city gate like crazy.
Faced with the delicious fish and meat that they thought they were about to get, people who had been hungry for several days didn't care who they pushed or stepped on.
Seeing that the tragedy of last night was about to happen again, Ding Xiaodie hurriedly shouted: "Dad, Dad, quickly step aside."
At this point, it doesn’t matter whether you get the food or not. The most important thing is to keep your life.
Zhang Xiu saw the villagers rushing towards him like starving ghosts and was frightened and shouted, "His father, hide quickly."
Ding Gui, who was rushing forward, heard the cries of his daughter and daughter-in-law behind him. He suddenly realized what was going on, thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly retreated into a small house on the side of the road.
However, as soon as he retreated, more than a dozen villagers rushed in as well...
"father!"
Ding Xiaodie saw her father lost in the crowd and her face turned pale with fright.
Zhang Xiu was so anxious that she almost cried, but the only thing she could do at this time was to hold her daughter tightly in her arms and watch the villagers run past her like crazy.
The voice of the village chief Lai Fu seemed so insignificant at this moment: "Slow down, we are not beggars, we must be polite and respectful, no... we can't let people look down on us..."
But no one listened to him at all, even his own family members rushed forward for their lives.
Soon, the whole street was occupied by the villagers. You go into one house after another. No one cares about propriety, righteousness, integrity, benevolence, etiquette and morality. No one cares whether others look down on them or not. Survival is the ultimate goal in everyone's mind.
This scene didn't look at all like the half-dead scene on the mountain.
Ding Xiaodie and Zhang Xiu were stunned.
Without thinking too much, the two of them hurried towards the small house, wondering if Ding Gui had been stepped on or bumped into by anyone in the house.
"ah!"
"Dead people, there are dead people!"
Suddenly there was a terrified howl, and someone rushed out of the hut, followed by one, then two...
Then there was another room, the same screams, and more and more people stumbled out of the room.
What's going on?
Ding Xiaodie's heart began to sink.
The village chief Lai Fu also shouted over there, "What happened?"
"Village chief, someone died!" a villager howled in a crying voice.
Another villager shouted, "This... this family has hanged themselves!"
At this moment, Ding Gui came out of the hut carrying Wang Dafeng on his back. The mother and daughter ran over and asked, "Dad." "His dad, are you okay?"
Ding Gui didn't have time to say anything more. He quickly put Wang Dafeng aside and started to retch.
Zhang Xiu hurriedly patted his back. After a while, he calmed down and said, "There's someone on the kang inside. He's been dead for several days! That smell..."
As they were talking, Ding Xiaodie and the others also smelled a foul odor.
The whole family quickly moved.
I walked a few meters and sat on the steps in front of a house. It took me a while to recover.
Later, we saw that the whole street was filled with villagers from Aozi Village. Everyone was shocked by the horrifying scene. Now no one dared to go into the house, and they were all sitting or lying on the street.
Village chief Lai Fu hurriedly went into a room to take a look, and came out retching for a while. The reality made his already haggard face look even more pale, and he couldn't say a word.
"It seems the situation in Yangliu Town is even worse than in Aozi Village. They don't even have time to bury their deceased family members." Ding Gui whispered, "It's so tragic!"
Wang Dafeng immediately opened her mouth: "But didn't the village chief say..."
Ding Xiaodie quickly shielded her dry mouth with her small hands: "Grandma, don't talk nonsense."
No one must come out to blame Lai Fu at this time. Everyone is starving. They have been lured by a seed of hope for so long, and now their hope is dashed. If someone attacks them, they will say that it was all Lai Fu's idea.
That would be like lighting the fuse, and everyone would point their spearheads and anger at him.
Then Village Chief Lai Fu will be in danger!
In Ding Xiaodie's opinion, he was isolated and helpless in this village. Although he was full of enthusiasm, no one helped him.
Wang Dafeng, who didn't understand these principles, glared at the little one in dissatisfaction: "How dare you stop me from speaking?"
Ding Xiaodie stood up calmly, put her short arms around her neck and said softly, "If you don't listen, you won't get a share next time you catch a rabbit."
“…”
Wang Dafeng was suddenly choked. Oh my god, she had lived her whole life, and in the end she was pinched by a little brat. Who would believe it if she told others about it?
What Dante Xiaodie worried about inevitably happened.
Just as Wang Dafeng was looking unconvinced and unable to do anything about it, Ding Rong was the first to challenge her, asking, "Village Chief, didn't you say that once we arrived in Yangliu Town, we'd have everything we wanted, including delicious food and drinks? Where's the food now?"
