Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

The crying of the children in the house became louder, and it sounded like several children were crying.

A thin boy came out of the house, his face pale and he said weakly:

"Brother, Xiaoman is almost dying, wuwuwu..."

"Almost done. I'm kneading the dough."

The men there poured water into the freshly ground bark powder and started kneading the dough.

Upon seeing this, Shen Nuo immediately spoke up:

"You can't eat this. The child won't be able to handle it."

The bark is difficult to digest, even if it is ground into powder. Even if there are no toxins, this indigestible bark enters the stomach.

In mild cases, it can cause constipation, and in severe cases, it can lead to suffocation to death, and the abdominal pain can be unbearable.

The guy who ran out looked at Shen Nuo and saw that he was fair and clean. The people around him were not as skinny as the other victims, so they must be people with food.

Hope ignited in his heart, and he ran to Shen Nuo and whispered:

"Can you exchange some food for us? Wuuwuwu... My nephew is dying. I have water. I can give you water..."

"Xu'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The man at the door came over and tried to pull Xu Ge'er back, but Xu Ge'er looked at Shen Nuo stubbornly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw:

"I'm willing to trade with you, I... um..."

The man covered Xuger's mouth, but Qin Yan held his shoulders.

"If we wanted to steal your water, we wouldn't be here talking to you for so long."

The men's faces suddenly changed and they immediately stood up to be on guard against Qin Yan and the others.

"If you only have this well but no food, you still can't survive. Why bother?"

Shen Nuo also said this, and pointed at the boy who was covered.

"Let him go. Even if we can give you this little bit of food today, what will happen after we leave? What if we encounter other bandits? Can you resist? Do you really not want to live?"

As he spoke, he took out a cake from his arms and gave it to Xu Ge'er, whispering:

"Soak it in water before eating."

"Thank you, thank you."

Xu Ge'er immediately took the dry biscuit and walked into the house.

"Hey, find someone to follow me."

After the man finished talking to Qin Yan, he walked into the house.

Qin Yan and Shen Nuo followed.

The house was very small. When I walked to the innermost part, I saw a well with a very small mouth.

"These days, this is the only place with water. This well is deep, so there should be enough water in it. The water level will rise every day."

As the man said this, he threw the wooden bucket down to fetch water.

The wooden barrel is tied with a long rope and has a wheel on it. The handle of the wheel can be used to raise the barrel.

Shen Nuo watched the man named Yang Huan shaking for a long time before he drew up half a bucket of water.

"You guys go ahead and fetch some water, and leave some for us. The water level will rise again tomorrow."

Yang Huan handed the water to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan also took the water and said to the eight brothers of the Yang family:

"This well will soon run dry. We have more people in Yunzhu Village. If you join us, you can also protect your family."

The Yang brothers gave them water at this time, so they didn't seem to be ungrateful.

The Yang brothers all frowned and thought.

Xu Geer said directly:

"We are willing. You can rest here and get enough water first."

Seeing that his brother was still hesitating, Xu Geer became anxious:

"Brother, there are only a few of us left in our family. Are we going to watch Xiaoman and the others starve to death along with us?"

Xu Ge'er's face was full of sadness. He always felt that this was their chance to survive, and if they missed it they would definitely die.

He was afraid that Qin Yan and the others would not take him in, so he said:

"If they don't go, can I follow you? I can take care of the kids by myself and won't cause you any trouble. Please."

He knelt down in front of Shen Nuo with a plop. He had just observed that these people listened to this young man intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if he can't make complete decisions, at least he is someone who has a say in the team. Xu Ge'er just wants Shen Nuo to plead for him.

Shen Nuo helped him up:

"Don't get excited. To be honest, what our team lacks right now is manpower. As you can see, there are many disaster victims around.

We need to unite to fight other bandits. If you want to join, then your brothers... "

Having said this, Shen Nuo stopped talking.

This has been made very clear. Yang Xu has no food, and if he only brings a few children with him, he will become a burden to the team.

What Shen Nuo actually wanted were those men. If the men were unwilling to join, then Yang Xu and the children could not join them either.

Yang Xu also understood the reason, and he did not blame Shen Nuo.

They were strangers to begin with, so it was normal for Shen Nuo not to help them.

He could only look at his eight brothers again.

"Oh, are you guys still men? Even I, a brother, can't stand it anymore. Your brother is working hard for your son.

"What are you doing? Why are you so hesitant? If you want to die, just go to the big rock at the door and hit your head against it and die. If you don't want to die, just follow the team and find a way to survive. Is this a difficult principle?"

Qin Ruan's sharp voice came from outside the door.

Just now he saw Shen Nuo give a pancake to the boy in this house and thought Shen Nuo was cheated.

When he came over, he heard a few men nagging, and he was so angry that he couldn't help but say something.

Shen Nuo looked at Qin Ruan and felt that this person was his substitute at the moment.

Qin Yan ignored their quarrel and said to Qin Hao who followed him in from the door:

"Go tell uncle and the others that we can rest here tonight."

"okay."

Qin Hao came in without knowing why, and went out without knowing why to pass on the message.

He didn't hear clearly what happened here, he just saw Qin Ruan cursing again.

This soft guy is very aggressive and never keeps quiet wherever he goes.

But considering that the person he was scolding was not his own, Qin Hao didn't care.

Yang Huan and his companions were stunned by the scolding, and Qin Ruan's scolding went straight to the point, leaving no room for them to retort.

"Why, you still need our help to raise your own son? You are eight men, right? Do you have any shame?"

"Yes, yes."

Shen Nuo also followed and supported him. He would not curse at anyone, so he could only pretend to be pitiful every time.

I didn't expect that besides He Fang, there was someone in the team who could curse. This is really... great.

Seeing Shen Nuo agreeing with her, Qin Ruan's eyes sparkled, and her palm-sized face couldn't help but turn a little red.

The men lowered their heads after being scolded, feeling that they were indeed a bit cowardly.

"We will follow you tomorrow."

Yang Huan finally found a chance to speak.
