Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 409: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape

I dare not think about it, but the hunger in my stomach makes it impossible not to think about it.

After struggling to walk for another half a day, everyone was so hungry that they could not see anything. If there was no more food, they would probably cut a piece of meat from their own body to taste it.

At noon break, the Sun family drank only a little boiled river water and peeled some moist tree bark to fill their stomachs. In fact, the water level in the river they passed by was very shallow.

If the Sun family had the means, they could have caught a few fish to eat. But the master and his wife, who were used to having everything provided for them, didn't have the ability to do that.

Don't even think about it.

Sun Yaozu was so hungry that he couldn't even groan.

He just hung his head and lay on Madam Sun like a dead person, without moving a muscle, as if he was asleep, trying to conserve his energy.

Sun Yaozu maintained this posture until he set off in the afternoon.

Madam Sun was so angry.

She was so hungry that her heart was beating like a drum and her ears were buzzing. Her legs felt so heavy as if they were filled with lead that she didn't know how she could take a step forward.

My vision was so blurry that I couldn't see the road at all.

She had been furious in her heart countless times, wanting to just throw the brat down and let him die.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a hand pulling her arm from behind.

"Sister, sister~"

A soft voice sounded from behind, as if calling her.

At first, Madam Sun didn't care, because she was carrying someone on her back and her physical strength was depleted more than others. She really didn't have the energy to look elsewhere.

But the hand persisted and pulled her twice more.

Madam Sun turned back impatiently, only to see a woman with vulgar behavior. She looked to be in her thirties, her face wrapped in a rag. Even so, the exposed part of the rag still revealed her sallow complexion and sunken cheeks.

But there were two strange red spots on his cheekbones.

He was wearing tattered clothes that could barely cover his flesh.

"Sister, you..."

The woman pointed at Sun Yaozu, who was being carried on Madam Sun's back, and whispered mysteriously, "Is the child sick?"

Madam Sun replied subconsciously: "No, my son is just tired from walking~"

"Oh"

The woman looked a little disappointed and repeated in a low voice: "I'm just tired. I thought..."

"Why"

It was strangely strange, Madam Sun continued.

The woman looked at the motionless Sun Yaozu again, a greedy light flashing in her eyes, and then she said:

"I thought the child was dying and wanted to make a deal with my sister."

"Deal, what deal?"

Madam Sun heard her own voice and added another sentence.

"that is……"

The woman followed closely, put her mouth close to Madam Sun, and whispered:

"I also have a sick child at home, much older than the one you are carrying."

"I was thinking, if your illness gets too serious, maybe we can switch..."

There was a foul odor coming from her mouth, and as she spoke, the smell hit Madam Sun in the face. Madam Sun's stomach was already empty and burning.

I was suddenly overwhelmed by the smell and almost vomited.

However, she just vomited it briefly - there was really nothing in her stomach to vomit.

"Change... for what?"

Madam Sun heard her own voice still asking questions.

"Well, there's nothing we can't do. These days, everyone has no choice but to do it in order to survive. You know this..." The woman showed her yellow teeth.

For a moment, Madam Sun seemed to see a bit of meat stuck between her teeth. Thinking of a possibility, she couldn't help but do it again.

"Sister, don't be shy. This kind of thing is only difficult the first time. But after all, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar..."

The woman's expression seemed to reveal a little sadness, but it quickly disappeared.

He continued to maintain his wilful smile and said to Madam Sun:

"My last name is Chen, and I'm the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. My daughter is a girl, weighing about 40 or 50 kilograms."

"Anyway, think about it. If you've made up your mind, come see me today. I've already got three or four reservations. If you're late, they might not be able to get it."

After saying that, she let go and ran after the Chen family's team. Madam Sun looked at her strong legs infatuatedly, with envy in her eyes.

However, Sun Yaozu on her back was not asleep at all, and was eavesdropping on their conversation with his ears perked up.

Originally, at only four years old, he should not have understood this implicit and cryptic conversation at all. Unfortunately, when Sun Yaozu was making a fuss due to hunger, he heard what Mrs. Sun said, "I think it's almost like eating people..."

At such a young age, it is really enlightening.

So Sun Yaozu actually understood this conversation completely.

He also understood that this woman had set her sights on him from the beginning. Sun Yaozu felt cold all over, and his hair stood on end.

Children don't know what is good and evil, but if you scare them by saying, "Someone will eat you," they will definitely believe it. Adults will think it's a joke.

Sun Yaozu was so scared at this moment that he almost peed his pants.

"No, no, I must not let my mother give me to this bad woman."

Sun Yaozu's mind was full of crazy thoughts.

But who else should I replace myself with? I need to find someone to be safe. But who should I replace with this bad woman?

The first person that came to Sun Yaozu's mind was Qu Xiaoxiao.

But then, the image that appeared in his mind was Qu Xiaoxiao's powerful kick on his butt, and the terrible beatings of Master Sun, Master Sun II, and Sun Qingqing by her.

Sun Yaozu couldn't help but shiver all over.

"No, no, if I suggest that Qu Xiaoxiao be replaced, and that vicious person like Qu Xiaoxiao finds out, she'll definitely give me a beating."

He gave up the dangerous idea almost immediately.

So who should we replace?

The faces of the Sun family girls flashed through Sun Yaozu's mind one by one, and he always felt a little sorry. Moreover, he had heard Sun Wanru say before that these sisters would become his stepping stones and helpers when they grew up and got married.

By the way, Sun Wanru.

Sun Yaozu's eyes suddenly lit up. Oh, right, he still had an extra mother. With this biological mother around, no matter how well Madam Sun treated him, she would never feel at ease.

But what if this biological mother is gone?

All I can say is that when children are at an age where they cannot distinguish between good and evil, their choices may be purely good, but they may also choose more purely evil.

For example, Sun Yaozu at this time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

So, he waited for a long time before pretending to have just woken up and called out to Madam Sun softly:

"Mother~"

This voice, filled with deep admiration, successfully aroused the maternal love of Mrs. Sun that was about to disappear.
