Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

Never underestimate the allure of food aroma to a hungry person.

Chen Quan and Chen Ma, who had failed to wake up after being pinched on their philtrum several times, woke up slowly due to the aroma of the porridge. They thought they had reached the underworld and were ready to drink Meng Po soup.

"Meng Po soup is so delicious, it's worth dying for." Chen Quan muttered, thinking that he was scared to death, his wife and children at home, and his parents down the mountain, and he burst into tears.

Chen Ma had already started crying.

In order not to disturb the whole situation, Chen Xiang came over to the two of them, and saw them hugging each other and crying, with confusion in their eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

"Chen Xiang, you died too. We are so miserable. We died in the mountains for no apparent reason. We didn't know whether our relatives living in the mountains could survive the disaster." Chen Quan cried for himself and his relatives, but he didn't stop to look.

Chen Xiang slapped him, "Does it hurt?" His father should take a closer look, this is what it means to be useless, and he should not casually say that he is useless in the future. Now, he is the one who can remain calm when facing a tiger.

Glancing in the direction of Banhua, Chen Xiang slapped Chen Ma twice, then turned to look at Chen Quan. It was asymmetrical, should he slap him again?

"It hurts, but I'm not dead."

Snapped!

Without waiting for Chen Xiang to slap him again, Chen Quan slapped himself again. Then he realized that this was not the underworld, and the fragrance was not the fragrance of Meng Po soup, but the fragrance of polished rice.

……

Hululu!

Ding Yi donated four bowls as a token of friendship, and the four of them gathered together and drank the porridge.

The starving ghost looked so disgusting that Banhua felt extremely ashamed, but no one cared about its expression.

After he ate two or three bowls, Ding Yi wouldn't let him eat any more. If someone who had been hungry for a long time ate too much, it would cause big problems.

"Third uncle?"

"father?"

Ding Yi stood up and stroked Banhua's head, with an unfathomable look on his face, and sighed, "I have been in a muddle for decades, and only now have I been enlightened by my master. It's time and fate. Go down the mountain, don't ask, you won't understand even if I tell you, you just need to know that my master is a god in heaven, and it's my unfilial disciple that has made my master worried, so he took the trouble to come down to earth to enlighten me."

Facing the east, Ding Yi knelt down and kowtowed respectfully several times, his forehead turning red to make it look more realistic.

A non-existent master would save him a lot of trouble and headaches, and he would not suffer any loss.

The sun rises in the east, the sky is already bright, there are a few clouds floating in the sky, dyed red, and the temperature has reached thirty degrees.

"Second Brother, Chen Quan and Chen Ma, pack up your things and go down the mountain immediately. Don't keep your relatives waiting for too long."

Standing up, Ding Yi took the lead in moving his legs. A whirlwind blew around him and Banhua ran away.

"Ouch——"

A tiger roared in the mountains, shaking the forest.

The roar of a tiger could be heard even at the foot of the mountain. Chen Liang was extremely anxious. He had already wasted a day here, but Ding Yi and the others still hadn't shown up. He was under tremendous pressure to appease everyone.

Before daybreak, someone came to ask when to set out. You know, the temperature is too high during the day. If they don't take advantage of the cooler time in the morning and evening, when will they reach Tongding County? It is said that under the rule of Lin Hou, the people have no shortage of food. If they go too late, what will happen if Tongding County is full and no longer accepts people?

For a day, Chen Liang relied on the prestige of his ancestors to suppress the impetuous people of Chenjia Village. But after a while, the prestige of his ancestors was useless. If people can't survive, who cares about their ancestors?

At 9:00, the sun was high in the sky, but Ding Yi and the others had not yet appeared. Chen Liang gritted his teeth and waited a little longer. One day was one day, and even one stick of incense less would not do. At most, he would have to walk half a day today.

"Roar--"

The tiger's roar was clearly heard by everyone, and the already unstable people in Chenjia Village were immediately frightened to death.

"Tigers, oh my god, why are there tigers here? Have they not left yet?"

It is difficult for humans to leave their homeland, and animals will know about the coming disaster earlier than humans. Logically, after what has happened, there should not be any animals like tigers left here.

There is no water at all in Wangyi County. Not even the leaves on the trees have been seen. People have also visited the deep mountains and old forests and found that large numbers of trees have died.

"Mom, I don't want to die—"

The child cried loudly, and he couldn't run faster than usual, nor could he walk faster than usual.

Can a human outrun a tiger? Listening to the tiger's roar, it is full of energy, which must mean that there is plenty of food. In this world today, where does food come from?

Chen Liang didn't dare to think any further and blamed himself in his heart. If he had left a step earlier, could he have avoided the tiger disaster?

"Everyone, form a circle, with the old and weak in the middle, and the young and strong on the outside. Take whatever you have, sickles, hoes, and sticks..."

Chen Liang shouted desperately, he couldn't run away, no matter how fast a man is, can he be faster than a tiger? The only way was to fight hard, there would be a glimmer of hope.

As expected of being trained as the successor to the team leader, Chen Liang quickly organized people to resist.

"Uncle Ba, don't worry about the luggage, come here quickly."

"No, there is still a handful of food in the car. That is my grandson's life-saving food. We can't throw it away. If the tiger eats me, it can't eat my family's food, and my grandson can survive."

The gray-haired old man stood in front of his wheelbarrow, took out some food, threw it to his daughter-in-law in the circle, and walked past the crowd to the front.

"Come on, tiger, eat me if you want to. I have lived enough."

Several old men and women pushed aside the people outside and came out one after another.

"That's right, we old bones have lived enough. After the tiger has eaten its fill, it will leave and will not attack people anymore. Then you should leave quickly."

Hundreds of people looked at the elderly people who came out one after another, and the words of refusal were stuck in their throats. They didn't want the elderly in their families to feed the tiger with their own bodies, but they understood that this was the only way.

They are weak, and even if they rely on their numbers, they may not be a match for the tiger.

They looked at each other in silence, faces filled with sorrow.

The tiger was getting closer and closer, and its agile posture could be seen. The people in Chenjia Village became more and more nervous. Although the old man in front was ready to die, he was still nervous when facing a beast as ferocious as a mountain.

"Don't be afraid. When a tiger bites a person, it bites the throat first. In one bite, the person is gone. It doesn't hurt, not at all. It's okay if it doesn't bite the throat. In one slap, the old bones are gone."

After looking at each other, a dozen old men walked forward together, running towards the tiger in the two directions.

The running Banhua suddenly braked and looked at the group of people in front of him in confusion, who were obviously scared to death but had fierce eyes.

Can't figure it out.

He's getting closer and closer. Should I slap him to death?

Spotted Flower paused and thought humanly.

"Grandpa?" Chen Ma appeared first, and when he saw Banhua's raised paw, his heart was broken, and he shouted in fear, "Grandpa, go away, Banhua, don't do that."

Seeing that someone was about to die under Banhua's claws, Ding Yi floated out and raised Banhua's claws pointing downward.

"Banhua, we are one family, don't do anything."

Banhua looked at Ding Yi, then looked at the group of people in front of him whose faces were as white as their hair, and took a step back.

"Roar--"
