The hysterical crying of the middle-aged man reached the living room and echoed for a long time, causing everyone to stop moving and feeling as if their heart was being squeezed tightly by a heavy rock...
The sounds of babies crying, men crying, and the churning of fish soup mixed together, and it turned out to be surprisingly harsh...
In such a dark age of starvation, the fate of pregnant women and babies is usually extremely miserable. When the end of the world has just come, some people suggest that the middle-aged man should leave his wife who is five months pregnant. The young man took his wife across mountains and rivers and escorted her to Yongcheng...
After living in Yongcheng, someone suggested to the middle-aged man that he should find a way to abort his wife's fetus. After all, the living environment was so harsh that pregnant women could not eat enough, let alone provide nutrition to the fetus. But the middle-aged man The man resolutely refused. Every day he would try his best to search for edible food in Yongcheng for his wife...
Now, after experiencing many hardships and tests, the man has taken good care of his wife and allowed her to give birth to the baby smoothly, but the real trouble has just begun...
The baby is born, but how to raise it
What to raise
Can this child really thrive? Even if he can survive...how should he face this cannibal world
Regardless of all this, just the milk needed for the baby to survive cannot solve the problem. Even if the man desperately searches for food, it can only be enough for the mother to eat a small amount of grass roots to save her life. She is already hungry. His face became sallow, his muscles were thin, and he felt weak. There is no way there is any milk.
Without milk, how can the baby survive the newborn period? We can't just feed him grass roots and snow water. Even grass roots will be difficult to find in the future...
Thinking of this, everyone in the room lowered their heads, feeling extremely depressed.
"Hey, I persuaded Brother Da Dong four months ago to abort the fetus... but he just didn't listen. Now that the child is born, he can't raise the child. If he had known this, he should have Listen to me and save yourself from wasting so much food on his wife.”
"What a sin, what a sin. That baby really shouldn't have come into this world..."
"We adults don't have enough to eat. We almost starved to death several times, let alone this little baby..."
"I should have expected this outcome. Brother Dadong brought it upon himself. Instead of watching his son starve to death, it would be better not to let him come to this era of cannibalism..."
"Hey, don't talk sarcastically. At least Brother Dadong has helped us a lot..."
People in the hall were sighing. Although Ming Jiali, a fool, didn't know much about the ways of the world, he could still understand the mood of these people unconsciously when he saw these people with sad faces and dejected faces. His palms were clenched into fists, and the blood in his body was surging like the boiling fish soup.
Why is everyone in such an embarrassing predicament? Why are there so many people who don’t have enough to eat or keep warm? Why is no one happy even when a baby is born? Instead, I felt worried as if I saw a burden...
What makes everyone live so hard
Bugs, zombies, dragons
Or is it...human's bad nature
If those officers could abide by their duties and distribute the food that was filled their own pockets fairly to every refugee, maybe the situation of the people in this house would be much better...
After a while, the fish soup was finally ready. The fish meat in the big pot had been cooked to a beige color. The light pink fish intestines and yellow-orange fish eggs were also tumbling in the fish soup, giving off a mellow fish aroma. It permeated the entire hall. Although no condiments were added and only a little salt was added, this smell was tantamount to a fatal temptation for the hungry people in the room, making everyone's mouths wet and their eyes wet. Green, I can’t wait to take a few bites right away!
Yes, for several months, they have been eating rough food, such as steamed buns, sweet potatoes, bark grass roots, moldy cans, and some were even so hungry that they tore out the pages of books and cooked them... So they have I haven't eaten fresh meat for a long time. Now I suddenly get such a delicious pot of fish soup. The joy is much stronger than getting a golden mountain!
"Come on, come on, everyone is starving, let's eat while it's hot!"
A certain skinny aunt couldn't help it. She was swallowing her saliva and saying hello. She didn't know where she got a spoon from. In the eyes of everyone eagerly, she spooned the delicious soup into the bowl and returned the spoon. A few pieces of plump fish meat and a few plump balls of fish eggs...
"Huh, Aunt Song, give me the spoon quickly. I also want to eat meat and drink soup. I have been hungry for two days and two nights and am about to collapse..."
A haggard young man didn't care about being abrupt. He quickly grabbed the spoon and hurriedly spooned a bowl for himself. Then he couldn't wait to take a sip of the fish soup, but he was immediately burned by the high temperature and almost screamed. I didn't drop the bowl.
Immediately afterwards, other people came over to take a spoonful of fish soup, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. This was their life-saving straw, the food they relied on to survive. Whether they could survive for another two days depended on this pot of fish. Soup!
"Don't spoon too much, save some for Brother Dadong and his family. Brother Dadong has taken good care of us, so we have to leave some soup base for Brother Dadong. What's more, Brother Dadong's wife just gave birth and needs to make up for it." To replenish the body…”
A young man with a shaggy beard reminded him, while sipping the delicious fish soup in small sips. The taste of these fish soups was very light, but it was extremely delicious. For him who had not known the taste of meat for three months, it was already. It was so delicious that the stomach and intestines were twitching violently, and there were waves of weak pain, but there was also a faint feeling of happiness.
"Yes, everyone, eat less. No matter what, we have to leave three big bowls for Brother Dadong and his family! Huang Mao, stop spooning soup!" said a man with a Chinese character face.
"Brother Nan, I'm still very hungry..." A short, fat man in his early thirties smacked his mouth and looked longingly at the little fish soup left in the pot.
"Who here hasn't been hungry for several days? Who can drink so much fish soup and eat fish so quickly and feel full so quickly? But there is only so much food, so it's good to have something to eat... Look, Jiali hasn't even eaten yet!"
Ming Jiali quickly shook his head, waved his hands and said cautiously:
"No, no, no, Idiot, Idiot are not hungry. I ate more than a dozen meat buns with Master Haitang in the cafeteria this morning... You eat, just eat. If it's not enough, I will find a way to help you in the future..."
"Jia Li, thank you so much for the fish. You are much better than those officers who are lining their own pockets. No matter whether you can help us in the future or not, we will remember this kindness. Although we may not be able to repay it, When you go down to see King Yama, I will still repay your kindness to him!" The man with the Chinese character face looked at Ming Jiali sincerely and almost knelt down before him.
"Don't, don't say that, you idiot is just doing what you should do..."
At this time, Brother Dadong finally came out of the side room. He looked calm and had obviously adjusted his mood. No one could tell from his resolute face that he had just cried.
"Brother Dadong, the rest of the fish soup belongs to you. Take it to your sister-in-law to drink. Let her eat more fish to replenish her health. Oh, by the way, that fish soup may be used as milk to feed the child... "A certain aunt nagged eagerly.
"Thanks… "
Brother Dadong nodded and looked at the pot of fish soup. Although there was not a lot of fish soup, there was still a tenth left, especially there was still a lot of fish, which was definitely enough for a full meal.
Ming Jiali caught a total of thirty fish, each of which was as big as a palm, but there were more than fifty people in this room. Evenly divided, one person could only eat half of the fish, which was naturally far out of reach. After eating, it can only fill the stomach a little bit, but even so, most people still consciously eat less and give more fish and meat to Dadong brother and his family.
It's a pity... All good things come hard. At this moment, there was a dull knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang"
"Open the door, open the door!"
As soon as they heard the sound coming from outside, everyone in the room froze!
"Why are they here again?"
"It's endless. We are already so poor. Do they still want to blackmail us?"
Everyone cursed in a low voice, and even Brother Da Dong was livid.
"What's wrong?" Ming Jiali asked puzzledly.
"They are hooligans in this area who specialize in robbing people of food. A few days ago, when the army was still distributing steamed buns, they would go to each house to collect food. If they could not hand over the food, they would beat people. In serious cases, they would even kill people. ..." Brother Dadong said in a deep voice.
"Ah? How come there are such people? Everyone is hungry and we should understand each other. There is still extortion..." Ming Jiali felt that his mind was about to spin.
"Haha, there are people like this everywhere..." Brother Dadong smiled bitterly and said, "The person leading them is said to have strengthened his body with insect crystals. He is quite powerful. Ordinary people are no match for him..."
At this time, the shouts outside became louder and louder, like thunder in the sky:
"Open the door, open the door quickly! I smell the smell of meat, fuck! Where did you bastards get the meat? How dare you hide and enjoy it? Don't you know how to use it to honor your grandfather?"
These words immediately caused Brother Dadong's expression to change dramatically. The fish soup and fish meat were his food. Even if he didn't eat them, he would leave them to his wife who had just given birth, and even more to the children who couldn't get milk!
What should I do? Should I hide the pot of soup
But the smell of meat coming out of the soup is too obvious, and the old house is so small, it can't be hidden at all...
At this moment, the person outside who was knocking on the door finally couldn't bear it anymore, but with a "Peng" sound, the wooden bars behind the old wooden door of the old house were broken by the strong force, and the two wooden doors were also severely damaged. Push it away hard! RQ
