Chapter 770 Extortion
The hysterical cry of the middle-aged man spread to the living room, and it echoed for a long time, causing everyone to stop, and the heart felt as if it was tightly pressed by a heavy rock...
The baby's cry, the man's cry, and the tumbling sound of the fish soup mixed together, it turned out to be surprisingly harsh...
In such a dark age of starvation, the fate of pregnant women and babies is usually extremely tragic. When the end has just come, some people advise a middle-aged man to leave his wife who is five months pregnant and leave it alone. The young man just took his wife through mountains and rivers and escorted her to Yongcheng...
After living in Yongcheng, some people suggested that a middle-aged man should find a way to drop his wife’s fetus. After all, the living environment is so bad that pregnant women can’t get enough to eat, let alone provide nutrition to the fetus. The man resolutely refused. He would try his best to find food for his wife in Yongcheng every day...
Now, after many hardships and trials, the man has taken good care of his wife so that she can give birth to a baby smoothly, but the real trouble has just begun...
The baby is born, but how to raise it?
What to take care of?
Can this child really thrive, even if he can survive... How should he face this cannibalistic world?
I don't want to talk about these, just the milk that the baby needs to survive can't solve it. Even if the man desperately searches for food, it is only enough to allow the mother to eat a small amount of grass roots, which is only enough to save her life. She is already hungry. My face is yellow and my muscles are thin, and my body is empty, and it is impossible to have milk at all.
If there is no milk, how can this baby survive the newborn period? I can't feed him grass roots and snow water. Even grass roots, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find in the future...
Thinking of this, all the people in the room lowered their heads, feeling extremely depressed.
"Hey, I persuaded the eldest brother as early as four months ago, and told him to abort the fetus... But he just wouldn't listen. Now that the child is born, he can't raise the child. If he knew this, he would He should listen to me and save him wasting so much food for his wife."
"It's a sin, it's a sin, that doll shouldn't come to this world..."
"We adults can't get enough to eat, and we almost starved to death several times, let alone this little baby..."
"I should have expected this result long ago. Big Brother is to blame himself. Rather than watching his son starve to death, it is better not to let him come to this era of cannibalism..."
"Hey, don't talk slander, anyway, Big Brother has helped us a lot..."
The people in the hall were all sighing and sighing. Although Ming Jiali didn't know much about the world, he could still understand the mood of these people when he saw the group of people with frowning faces and dejected faces. Unconsciously, his palms were pinched and held It turned into a fist, and the blood in the body was surging, just like the rolling fish soup.
Why is everyone in such an embarrassing predicament, why are there so many people who are not fed and clothed, and why no one is happy even when a baby is born, but is worried as if seeing a burden...
What makes life so hard for everyone?
Bugs, zombies, dragons?
Or is it... the inferiority of human beings?
If those officers could abide by their duties and distribute the food that they were rich in their own pockets fairly in the hands of every refugee, perhaps the situation of the people in this room would be much better...
After a long while, the fish soup was finally ready. The fish in the cauldron had been cooked to a beige color, and the light pink fish intestines and yellow-orange fish eggs were also tumbling in the fish soup.
A mellow fish scent permeated the whole hall. Although no seasoning was added, only a little salt was put down, but this smell was tantamount to a fatal temptation for the hungry people in the room, attracting all the people. Everyone's mouth is full of saliva, their eyes are green, and they can't wait to eat a few bites right away!
Yes, for several months, they have been eating rough food, steamed buns, sweet potatoes, bark grass roots, moldy canned food, and even some people are so hungry that they tear off the pages of books and cook them... So they It has been a long, long time since I have eaten fresh meat, and now I suddenly get such a pot of delicious fish soup, the joy is much stronger than getting a golden mountain!
"Come on, everyone is starving, eat while it's hot!"
A certain thin old lady couldn't help it. She said hello while swallowing her saliva. She didn't know where she got a spoon. In the eyes of everyone, she spooned the delicious soup into the bowl and returned it by the way. A few pieces of plump fish meat and a few balls of plump fish eggs...
"Huh, Aunt Song, give me the spoon, I also want to eat meat and drink soup, I've been hungry for two days and two nights and I'm about to collapse..."
A haggard young man didn't care about the abruptness, and hurriedly grabbed the spoon, hurriedly gave himself a bowl, and then couldn't wait to drink a sip of fish soup, but he was immediately scalded by the high temperature and screamed, almost screaming. Didn't drop the bowl.
Immediately afterwards, everyone else came over to spoon fish soup as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. This is their life-saving straw, the food they depend on to survive. Whether they can survive for two more days depends on this pot of fish. Soup!
"Don't spoon too much, save some for the eldest brother's family, the eldest brother takes care of us a lot, we have to leave some soup base for the eldest brother, not to mention that the eldest brother's wife has just given birth and needs to be replenished. Make up your body..."
A young man with a stubborn beard reminded him, and at the same time he sipped the delicious fish soup. It is a supreme delicacy, so that the stomach is twitching violently, and there is a faint pain, but there is a faint happiness.
"Yeah, everyone eat less, we have to leave three big bowls for the eldest brother's family! Huang Mao, stop spooning soup!" said a man with a Chinese face.
"Brother Nan, I'm still very hungry..." A short, fat man in his early thirties smacked his mouth, looking eagerly at the little fish soup left in the pot.
"Who hasn't been hungry for a few days here? Who can get full after drinking so much fish soup and eating so fast? But the food is so little, it's good if you have enough to eat...Look, you haven't even eaten Kali! "
Ming Jiali shook his head quickly, waved his hand and said cautiously:
"No, no, Er Silly, Er Silly is not hungry. This morning, I ate more than a dozen meat buns with Master Haitang in the cafeteria... You can eat as much as you can. If it's not enough, I will find a way to help you later... …”
"Cali, thank you so much for your fish, you are much better than those officers who are rich in their own pockets, no matter whether you can help us in the future, we will remember this kindness, although it may not be repaid, but If I go down to see King Yama, I will still report your kindness to him!" The man with the national character face looked at Ming Jiali sincerely, and almost knelt down to him.
"Don't, don't say that, Er fool is just doing what should be done..."
At this moment, the eldest brother finally came out of the side room. He looked calm and obviously had adjusted his mood. No one could see from his resolute face that he had just cried.
"Big brother, the rest of the fish soup is yours, take it to my sister-in-law to drink some, and let her eat more fish to replenish her body, oh right, those fish soup may be used as milk to feed the child... "..." A certain aunt nags eagerly.
"thanks……"
The big brother nodded and looked at the pot of fish soup. Although there was not a lot of fish soup, there was still a tenth of it, especially the fish meat, which was definitely enough for a full meal.
Ming Jiali caught a total of 30 fish, each of them the size of a slap, but there were more than 50 people in this room. Evenly divided, one person could only eat half of the fish, which is far from impossible. When you are full, you can only fill your stomach a little, but even so, most people still feel that they eat less and give more fish to the big brother's family.
It's a pity... good things come and go, and at this moment there was a dull knock on the door.
"bang bang bang"
"Open the door, open the door!"
As soon as I heard the sound coming from outside, everyone in the room froze!
"Why are they here again?"
"It's endless, we are already so poor, are they still here to extort money?"
Everyone cursed in a low voice, and even the eldest brother's face was ashen.
"What's wrong?" Ming Jiali asked in confusion.
"They are hooligans in this area, they specialize in robbing people for food. A few days ago, when the army was handing out steamed buns, they would collect food from house to house. If they couldn't hand over food, they would beat people. Seriously, Even killing people..." Big Brother said in a deep voice.
"Ah? How can there be such a person? Everyone is hungry. We should understand each other. There is still extortion..." Ming Jiali felt that his mind was about to turn around.
"Hehe, there are people like this everywhere..." Big East said with a wry smile: "The person who took the lead is said to have strengthened his body with insect crystals, which is quite powerful. Ordinary people are not his opponents..."
At this time, the shouting outside became louder and louder, rumbling like a thunder in the sky:
"Open the door, open the door quickly! I can smell the smell of meat, fuck! Where did you bastards get the meat, and you dare to hide and enjoy it, and you don't know how to use it to honor your grandfather?"
These words immediately changed Big Brother's face. The fish soup and fish meat were his food. Even if he didn't eat it, he would leave it to his wife who had just given birth, and even leave it to his children who couldn't eat milk!
What should I do, should I hide that 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 who knocked hard on the door from outside finally couldn't bear it anymore, but when he heard the sound of "Peng", the wooden strip behind the old wooden door of the old house was broken by a strong force, and the two wooden doors were also smashed. Push it away! (To be continued.
