A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 74 What a terrible thing to do!
The old woman looked around, then stared blankly at her eldest granddaughter.
Xia Fuxi sighed. Her grandmother looked so weak that she probably couldn't lift anyone, and she herself couldn't carry anyone on her back either.
"Grandma, there's a wasteland ahead, not too far from here. It's a few miles away, let's bury Grandpa there."
That area was originally a wasteland, and due to drought, not a single blade of grass grew there.
She dared not bury anyone in a grassy area; how would she cut grass and dig for wild vegetables afterward? If she didn't dig, it would be a waste.
"it is good."
"Let's go, let's dig a hole first."
The grave for burying one person is very deep and long, and it's not easy to dig.
The old woman really wanted to say, "Go dig it yourself, I'm tired, I don't want to move."
But thinking of his second grandson's disdain, he hesitated for a moment, but still dragged his tired body and followed Xia Fuxi to dig the hole.
Sigh, she finally understood. If she didn't want to be left behind, she still had to avoid burdening others and keep working. In the end, she couldn't rely on anyone.
Xia Fuxi deliberately found a relatively soft spot, squatted down, and started digging...
When Lao Liu returned to the cave, he didn't see his wife. He assumed she was busy with something else and didn't think much of it.
The house in the valley should be completed in about 20 days.
He grinned happily, feeling the eggs in his pocket; his wife would surely be delighted to see that. Who would have thought he'd find eggs by the water in that valley?
What does that mean? It means there are pheasants there. Although he searched all around and didn't find any, he still believed that there must be more pheasants in the valley, he just hadn't seen them yet.
With the sun about to set and his wife still not back, the old bachelor was getting anxious. Could something have happened to her?
He ran out to look for her and found his wife by the stream, pulling someone along. She seemed to be struggling. An old woman was following behind, also helping to push.
People have come to the valley? Who are they? Are they from the village? They seem to know each other.
"Fu Xi!"
Xia Fuxi felt like she was hearing heavenly music. This nemesis had finally arrived; she was exhausted.
"Master, come quickly and help me carry the body."
The old bachelor stumbled, "A corpse?"
She was dragging a corpse along! This woman is incredibly brave; she's not afraid at all.
"Okay, come quick!"
Xia Fuxi greeted everyone warmly; with the labor force arriving, she was finally free!
Old Mrs. Xia stood to the side, bewildered in the wind. Had those two really gotten together?!
This bastard!
She said that her granddaughter must have been kidnapped by this scumbag, but this man first hid her, and then pretended to be stupid in front of them, refusing to admit it.
If we had admitted it sooner and brought them here, none of the family members would have died.
At that moment, the old woman hated the lying bachelor and his selfish granddaughter.
She kept her head down, not daring to show any emotion. She was old and powerless; her future depended entirely on these two beasts!
The old bachelor approached and saw it was Old Lady Xia. He took two big steps back. That old hag, she actually came all this way. Damn, she's something else!
Looking down, I was shocked to see that Old Man Xia had died right after he arrived.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
All I can say is that evil people will eventually face divine retribution!
Even if there is water, he can't drink it.
Judging from his chapped lips, you could tell that he was extremely dehydrated before he died.
"Hurry up, help me move Grandpa to the big pit in front." Xia Fuxi gasped for breath. Grandpa was so thin, he was just skin and bones. How could he be so heavy?
The old bachelor said nothing, lifted the person up, and strode forward. Old Mrs. Xia looked at him, and for some reason, she had the strange feeling that following them was a good idea, that the old bachelor was particularly reliable.
With such strength, you must be capable; if you're capable, you'll surely have food to eat.
Touching his stomach, which was throbbing with hunger, he remained silent and followed them to bury the old man first.
After burying the body, I followed them to the cave.
Looking left and right, their eyes nearly popped out when they saw bags of dried wild grass and vegetables, and hanging fish in the cave. They were swallowing hard. Meat! They actually had meat to eat. More than they could eat, and they were drying it to eat slowly.
That old bachelor is really capable; she used to be so blind, never able to judge people accurately.
The eldest granddaughter is smarter than her and has chosen the right people to follow. From now on, she'll never have to worry about food or drink while she's with them.
Xia Fuxi could tell from her mother's appearance that she was very hungry.
"Grandma, you take a rest, I'll cook."
The old bachelor looked at Granny Xia, wondering how he would sleep that night. He felt incredibly uncomfortable with another person in the cave. He and his wife could do whatever they wanted.
After that, with that old codger around, how can he possibly show his skills? He'll be suffocated.
No, he'll look for a new place for that old geezer tomorrow. He absolutely can't live with them; they're in the way.
The old woman felt uneasy under the old bachelor's gaze. What was this? Was he already starting to dislike her? She was eating her eldest granddaughter's food; after all, she was still this scoundrel's elder, and she had to put up with his disdain.
Of course, she didn't dare glare back, let alone curse. She could only pretend she knew nothing.
Looking at the dried vegetables and fish in the pot, I really want to eat them, I really, really want to eat them.
My eldest granddaughter is living a really comfortable life.
"Grandma, where's Dad? And Yaozu and Fugui?"
The old woman blinked, then lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look her eldest granddaughter in the eye.
"Your father and Yaozu have probably gone to escape the famine. Our family has been separated."
"Huh? We got separated?"
"Hmm." Old Mrs. Xia's voice was even lower. "The road to escape famine is not safe. They got separated and we don't know where the father and son are now. Your grandfather, Fugui, and I are together. We're thinking that since the road to escape famine is so difficult, we should hide in the mountains. Maybe we can find a way to survive."
"And what about Fugui?"
"He's dead." The old woman covered her face and wept bitterly. This time, it wasn't an act; she was genuinely heartbroken and distressed. Her second grandson, if he had just held on, he could have made it this far. With him around, the old man wouldn't have needed to carry any luggage, and someone would have taken care of him. Perhaps he wouldn't have died.
孽 孽!
He was injured on the way, had no medicine, developed a fever, and died.
Xia Fuxi burst into tears. He never expected that not only was his grandfather dead, but his second brother was also gone, his mother had disappeared, and his father and Yaozu had also been separated. The Xia family was now destroyed.
"Milk!"
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He threw himself into his wife's arms and wept uncontrollably.
"Fuxi, my dear Fuxi, you're my only remaining family!"
"Milk!"
The old bachelor's lips twitched. Fine, he was the one who was superfluous. Who knows, he might be the one looking for a new place to live later.
Stupid woman.
He didn't believe a word the old hag said. Didn't he see her shifty eyes? He'd been around all his life and seen all sorts of people. This old hag was up to something.
He didn't want to expose her; he knew very well that she dared not speak out because she was afraid they would drive her away. In the desolate wilderness, she would be afraid, and it wouldn't be easy for her to survive.
These days, people will do anything to survive.
This family is definitely fighting like dogs, and they'll probably kill each other.
Sin!
