Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year
Chapter 25 Robbed
There was chaos on the cart.
The scarred man looked around and reached out his hand to Cui Zhaozhao, the youngest person in the car, grabbed his shoulder and threw him to the ground.
Cui Jingwen's eyes were blazing with anger. He didn't care what was at hand. He took out a hard object from his backpack and hit the scarred man on the head.
Scarface grimaced in pain, but when he saw clearly what was hitting him, he grinned out loud.
"I was right. Nowadays, people can afford to eat bone sticks. The food on the bus must be good. Hurry up, everyone. After we grab some, we can make bone soup."
In Cui Jingwen's hand was a pig leg bone, which looked fresh and tempting.
Uncle Mazi gritted his teeth and drove the cart desperately, whipping the car until it was almost broken, but that group of people were like leeches sucking blood and he couldn't get rid of them.
"Luckily I brought a stick with me when I went out. If you try to steal my food, I'll fight you!"
The villagers on the cart took out all kinds of weapons, even Grandma He had a wooden peony in her hand, and she kept knocking and muttering.
"You little brat, you don't learn your lesson. You even steal my food..."
This group of people had been hungry for several days and were no match for the well-fed people in Xiahe Village. They couldn't rob anything and were hit on the head.
Tired and hungry, I gradually gave up.
Scarface, who was clinging to the car board and holding on to the end, let go with a scream after being hit twice with a spoon by Grandma He.
Granny He put away her spoon contentedly and said, "You want to steal my food? You little monkeys are still a little naive, hehe."
I didn’t see it clearly because I was waving it too fast just now. Now that I look at it carefully, Cui Zhaozhao’s eyes are almost popping out of his head with fright.
This is not a wooden spoon at all. The front of the wooden stick is cut into a round cake, and the round cake is covered with densely packed sharp thorns!
She shuddered violently.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
For the rest of the journey, the ox cart felt no joy after victory, but only indescribable depression.
After arriving home.
Cui Zhaozhao did not tell his mother what happened on the road, but the news still leaked into the Cui family.
Lin repeatedly checked to see if the brother and sister were injured, patting her chest constantly.
"You two are so bold! You didn't even tell me such a big thing." Lin glared at Cui Jingwen who was making a face. "You'd better not go out recently. There's enough food at home."
Not only in these days, there will be no peace outside until the famine is over.
Cui Chengliang also heard the news. Fortunately, everyone worked together and no one was injured.
Although the two children were not close to him, they were also children of the Cui family, so it was naturally best for them to be healthy.
Thinking of the thrilling scene at that time, he could no longer sit still and stood up to find the village head.
"How could such a thing happen? It's too outrageous!" The village head slammed the table in anger.
"We're lucky to have survived this time, but if they attack us with a knife next time, we'll be dead."
"It would be too scary if someone sneaked into the village in the middle of the night."
The big locust tree was crowded with people, and no one wanted the food they had worked so hard to get to be taken away.
The headman frowned. It would be easy to deal with them outside the village, as long as they didn't leave the village. But if they sneaked into the village in the middle of the night, could he stay up all night waiting for them?
Who knows when they will come? Besides, I can’t stand it.
"Uncle Village Head, you have to think of a solution. My mother is afraid to sleep and has to watch over the food supply at home at night."
The village head suddenly had an idea.
There are more than a hundred households in Xiahe Village, so they can take turns to keep watch. There is no need for a large number of people. A few people can guard the four sides of the village and wake everyone up as soon as someone enters the city.
The villagers were discussing loudly. The headman coughed twice, and the noisy voices quieted down. Everyone was eagerly waiting for his decision.
The village head slowly expressed his thoughts.
"...This wouldn't be a big deal. One person from each family could take turns keeping watch, and everyone could sleep soundly."
"That's a good idea, I agree!"
Most people immediately agreed that they would do anything as long as they could keep the food supply.
"But..." an old man in the crowd said tremblingly, "Xing'er is my only granddaughter, so I'm afraid it would be inconvenient..."
"My family won't participate. No one dares to come to my house. If they dare to come, we will beat them out."
The person who was speaking was Wu Laoer. Old Mrs. Wu gave birth to four sons and one daughter, and her son gave birth to a grandson. The family of nearly thirty people still lived together, and there were so many sons that they looked like strings.
The crowd split into two groups, and the two sides were on the verge of fighting.
The night watch means guarding the entire village, and they cannot be kicked out of Xiahe Village. It is obvious that they don't want to contribute but want to take advantage.
"What did I say when you killed the dogs? You ate all the guard dogs, and now you are rushing to steal the dogs." Old Man He sneered.
He said this in a restrained manner. According to him, this group of people were all vying to be dogs.
He just looked down on those who killed dogs for food. It's not that he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a meal. To put it bluntly, he was poor and greedy, and couldn't afford to buy meat, so he had to eat the loyal dogs.
Old Man He straightened his back and looked at the head of the village.
"My dog Dahei can keep watch at night. He has sharp ears, much better than humans."
The head of the village had an embarrassed look on his face, but Brother He, relying on his age, dared to say anything.
But what he said makes sense. If the village had a group of dogs, if someone really came in the middle of the night, I guarantee that the whole place would be filled with dogs barking before they even entered the village.
Those who ate the dog were too embarrassed to raise their heads. If they had known this would happen, they would never have eaten it...
"Well," the village head glanced around and made the final decision, "Let's find two people to keep watch with Dahei first. Let's see the results tonight. If it works..."
After a pause, he looked at Old Man He and said, "If Dahei works diligently for Xiahe Village, Xiahe Village will provide food to support him in the future."
"Hmph." Mr. He put his hands behind his back. "Since no one wants to eat it, I kowtow to express my gratitude."
The crowd said awkwardly, "No, no, Dahei can protect the village, how can we eat him?"
The village head pointed at two people, one of whom was Erlang.
The crowd dispersed and Mr. He was surrounded.
A man rubbed his hands and said, "Uncle He, I heard that Dahei just gave birth to a litter of puppies. Can my family order one..."
Before he finished speaking, the round-faced aunt beside him mocked him, "Isn't your dog fed enough? Do you dare to tell me where that big yellow dog went?"
The man said dryly, "It died suddenly, so I can only..."
"You are so brave! You dare to eat this? Aren't you afraid that it is poisonous and will kill your whole family?"
The man was so choked that he dared not speak. The round-faced aunt turned her face and said to Mr. He in a flattering way, "Although my family has never raised a dog, it is definitely not capable of doing such immoral things. Please leave one for me."
Old Man He didn't even look at her. Her little grandson threw stones at Da Hei several times, and she just clapped and praised her grandson for his accurate throwing.
As if he didn't see it?
Even if he kept the puppy at home, he would not send it to such a family.
Only the kid from the Cui family really likes dogs.
Every day, Dahei's mouth was forced open by him to eat rice, and his mouth was full of oil.
The hair is reflecting light!
