The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Soon someone knocked on Wu Qing's door

"What's wrong? Lai Sanwazi, what happened?"

It was the aunt next door who came to take a look. This alley is so small. Everyone knew that Lai Sanwazi brought home a pretty wife yesterday.

Now they heard crying early in the morning, and the door was still not opened. Everyone was as anxious as a cat scratching its head.

Wu Qing came to his senses, turned around and opened the door. Seeing Aunt Zhao, whom he used to hate the most, he felt like seeing his own mother.

"Aunt, it's gone, all gone."

Having said that, Wu Qing prepared to go out and look for someone.

But how could the people in the alley let him go? They surrounded him and stopped him, insisting that he explain what happened.

Wu Qing spoke with tears and snot. After hearing the whole story, the others looked at Wu Qing lying on the ground, some feeling pity, while others gloating.

Only when everyone had listened enough to Wu Qing's crying and when Wu Qing left to settle accounts with those people from yesterday did they leave with some reluctance.

Thanks to these intelligence groups, Wu Qing's story spread quickly.

Even people who had just arrived in Beijing heard about this, and were so scared that they held on to their wallets tightly, fearing that they would be taken advantage of by the beauty.

At this time, Wu Qing came to the place where he had met Aunt Wang before and asked around, but no one said they had ever seen this person.

Wu Qing didn't believe it, and asked around like a madman if anyone had seen Aunt Wang and the Li family.

"Where are the Aunt Wang and Big Li? I've never seen them before. You might have recognized the wrong person."

"Impossible, impossible!"

"Li Da, you bastard, come out here! How dare you lie to your grandfather? Come out!"

"If you have the guts to lie, come out!"

Wu Qing knocked frantically on the door of the Li family that Aunt Wang mentioned yesterday. The neighbors were so annoyed that they came out and yelled at Wu Qing:

"Why are you so mad so early in the morning? No one has lived here since the New Year. How could anyone be living here?"

People on the street pointed at Wu Qing as if he were a madman.

Wu Qing listened to what the man said and went forward to grab him.

"What did you say? This house is uninhabited, but I clearly heard someone say yesterday that a rich man named Li lived here. Think about it carefully, maybe I remembered it wrongly. How could there be no one here?"

The man pulled back his sleeve, somewhat impatiently.

"I live right next door, how could I not know if anyone lives here? This is really strange, did you see anyone living here with your own eyes?"

Wu Qing was like a chicken that had been hit by a stick and was stunned. He stood stiffly on the spot.

By the way, he took the money and paid it at the stall that day, and he never saw Li Da come out of the house.

The Yang'er I saw before was just walking around the street, and I had never seen her actually go into the house.

Wu Qing's face turned pale, and he fainted with a thud.

Seeing this, the people around were frightened and scattered.

The man who had just been dragged saw the person fall down in front of him and cursed his bad luck in his heart.

Seeing that the people around him didn't dare to come forward, he shouted:

“It’s none of my business.”

After saying that, he kicked Wu Qing and kicked him down the steps of his house. Then he went in, locked the door, and ignored him.

Naturally, the people around them didn't dare to step forward. What if someone died and was blamed on them?

After gathering around for a while, everyone felt bored and went about their own business.

Poor Wu Qing fell to the ground and no one came forward.

It was still sunset, the sun baking the ground fiercely. Wu Qing lay on the ground, like a roasted pig.

The sun is scorching and the earth is vast.

"Mother, please bury the child as soon as possible. This is already smelly."

A half-naked, haggard man was lying on the kang and speaking weakly.

In the corner of the room, a man with disheveled hair and lifeless eyes was sitting on the ground, holding a small, stiff corpse in his arms.

"Xu Fen, Xu Fen, did you hear that?"

The man raised his head weakly, and seeing that the woman didn't move, he called out a few more times in panic.

The woman moved her pale and chapped lips twice and said something.

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the woman move.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

The man collapsed on the bed, not wanting to move at all. He was so hungry that he felt dizzy even when he raised his head.

Xu Fen touched the cold little body in her arms and could feel the sticky touch.

She looked at the pale and blue Jun'er with her numb eyes. It was clear that two days ago he was still lying in her arms, sucking milk and saying "Mom, I'm hungry."

Her lifeless eyes turned around as she looked at the man lying paralyzed on the bed. She opened her mouth but no sound came out.

He tried to put the child aside, but he didn't have the strength in his hands and the body rolled to the ground.

Xu Fen moved her hand and tugged at the child's clothes twice, but nothing happened.

Hungry, so hungry!

She grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth. Although she was choking and couldn't breathe, Xu Fen leaned weakly against the wall and swallowed it bit by bit with the saliva secreted from her mouth.

After gathering her strength for a while, Xu Fen crawled over on her knees and fell only ten centimeters away from the bed.

"Dad, I'm hungry."

After a long while, a weak voice came from above.

"Go to sleep. You won't be hungry when you sleep."

Hu Shan put his hands on his stomach, which was constantly cramping. He hadn't eaten for four days.

Not only their family, but the whole village has lost its vitality.

A month ago, most families had run out of food, so they had no choice but to target other families.

They robbed the Liu family, the richest family in the village, and raided the entire village, even catching and eating rats.

As early as a few days ago, the entire village ran out of food.

Their family was relatively well off, as they still had food to eat, while many people in the village starved to death.

Suddenly, a smell came from the air, and Hu Shan sniffed it intently, not missing a single scent.

Xu Fen also smelled it, and her eyes widened as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Meat, who has meat left?"

Xu Fen was no longer as powerless as before. She was shouting loudly with a crazy look on her face.

Hu Shan sat up from the bed, as if he had caught something, with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Who is it? Whose family is it? It's hidden very well. Damn it, I want to eat meat."

As he was about to get out of bed, he used too much force and almost fell to the ground.

Xu Fen didn't catch it and was hit by Hu Shan's head with a loud bang.

At this moment, the two of them no longer noticed these things, and their hearts and eyes were filled with that heart-wrenching fragrance.

In this way, the two of them walked out supporting each other, and when they couldn't walk anymore, they crawled on the ground.

There were other villages with similar situations, and the roads were full of crawling villagers.

Some people who were still strong enough could still walk, and soon everyone arrived at the destination by following the smell.

"The Li family, it's the Li family!"

The person standing went forward and knocked on the door. There were a few ping-pong sounds from inside the room, but no one opened the door.

The people outside kept banging on the door, and the dust on the door fell off.

At this time, the person lying on the ground did not let it go. He opened his mouth wide to catch it and smashed it twice.

More and more people gathered outside. Seeing that the door was not open, the strength they had lost seemed to return. A group of people with sunken cheeks and skinny bodies squeezed to the door.
