"Dad! Wake up! Why did you leave us like this!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu——Dad, open your eyes and look at us!"
After breakfast, the village chief stood under the eaves and sighed in the direction of the crying.
In Jiangshan Village, people starve to death every two or three days. I don’t know how many people dare not close their eyes for fear of never getting up after a nap.
Jiang Shan pulled his father into the house. It was windy and snowing outside, so he still had to come inside. They no longer dare to light a fire to keep warm, but instead huddle together as a family.
The mountains were covered with heavy snow, so we couldn't get much firewood, so we had to save some for cooking.
"Dad, how is Dazhu, who was injured the day before yesterday?"
The village chief shook his head, "The people were gone this morning."
He let out a long sigh. The big pillar was the backbone of his family. He did not starve to death or freeze to death. However, he went to collect firewood and was bitten by a wild animal. When he was rescued, the wild animal had escaped and there was a big hole in his stomach. .
This is the time when people don’t catch wild animals, but wild animals also want to eat people.
Everyone was shocked. This was already the third person in the village to be bitten by a wild animal coming down from the mountain.
Jiang Shan clenched his fists and frowned. They were still thinking of going to the foot of the mountain, where they could dig out some firewood and dry it to at least cook. But now the wild animals are no longer in the mountains, they have all come to the front mountains. I guess they were forced down by the heavy snow to look for food.
"Village chief, village chief!"
The courtyard door was knocked.
The village chief looked over and wondered whose family had died and came to inform him. But there was no point in informing him. He couldn't do anything except cry twice. The heavy snow has blocked the road, and even the entrance to the village cannot be left.
He asked the boss to open the door and didn't want to move.
Jiang Dajin and his wife ran into the main room and shook off the snow on their bodies.
Unexpectedly it was this couple, the village chief frowned, "It's so cold, what are you two doing here?"
Jiang Dajin was so hungry that he was reduced to a skeleton, and his clothes were leaking. His teeth chattered, "We want to ask where Jiang Yue is."
The village chief's face was cold, "As uncles and aunts, you don't know, how can I know where it is?"
"Don't you have a good relationship? I heard someone in the village say that you even helped that little boy..."
When Eugene saw the village chief staring at him, he swallowed the word "bitch".
Jiang Shan was annoyed, "Why are you looking for Jiang Yue?"
When Jiang Dajin heard this, he became even more convinced that they knew Jiang Yue's whereabouts.
"After all, we are the closest relatives in the world. Although there was some misunderstanding before, we still miss her in our hearts. It's so cold, I don't know how they are doing..."
Eugene Hua lowered his head, "When I see them, I will admit my mistake."
The village chief shook his head, "No matter what you think, we really don't know where they went."
The village chief's wife hated these two couples, but looking at their sunken cheeks, black eyes, and loose waistbands, they looked pitiful.
"I'm not going to lie to you. Jiang Yue only said that he was moving away at that time. He didn't tell us when he would come back or whether he would come back."
Even his sons shook their heads and said they didn't know. Judging from their expressions, they must be telling the truth. Jiang Dajin was so disappointed that he had no choice but to take his mother-in-law and turn around and go home.
Eugene Hua walked out of the village chief's courtyard and still had the strength to curse.
Jiang Dajin felt desperate. The food at home had long been at the bottom. The only grains left were borrowed by his mother-in-law when she went back to her parents' house to play around.
What should he do?
Heavy snow closed the mountains and roads, covering everything. The house collapsed and only a room and a half remained. My son was so hungry that he couldn't get up.
If Xiao Jiangyue finds out, she will definitely feel happy.
"Dajiang Yue" was currently cooking with Jiang Nian in the kitchen, making up for the cooked food consumed some time ago. It's just that the person in charge now became Jiang Nian.
Jiang Yue started to teach him to make some simple and lighter food.
Nowadays, people's hearts are in a state of flux, and we can no longer stimulate the public unbridledly.
In Shuntianfu City, I don’t know how many greenhouses the government has “requisitioned”, and there are rumors that vegetables and meat will be available in the city soon. This is to appease the people.
That's right, the vegetables and meat in the city are gone now. Only the grain shops are suppressed by the government and continue to sell grain at high prices, with an increase of five cents a day. Only one stone is sold a day, and the store is closed after the purchase.
Jiang Yue still sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day before queuing up at the grain store. When she is in line, she buys something, and when she is not in line, she goes home with an empty basket. So that everyone would think that their family was also in a state of food shortage.
However, she discovered something very unusual.
Logically speaking, the heavy snow has blocked the road, but more and more people are entering and exiting the city, walking purely on their legs, regardless of the fact that the snow is already up to their waists.
Those who go looking for firewood are normal. What is abnormal are those who insist on going out without pulling firewood.
When he came back, he clutched his chest tightly, as if he was afraid that someone wouldn't know he had a baby.
Jiang Yue also observed that many people's bellies were getting bigger. The people were sallow and thin, and their hands and feet were only skin and bones. At first, she thought it was constipation caused by not eating vegetables for a long time.
But there's also something unspeakably weird about it.
Until one day, while waiting in line at a grain store, she heard someone chatting behind her.
"Hey! I have to queue up every day, and I don't know how long it will take!"
"I can't buy much food even when I'm in queue. It's not even enough to feed my children's teeth."
"The price of food is going to skyrocket, why not use the money to buy more satiety pills!"
The man quickly covered her mouth, "Shh! Have you forgotten what the master said? Don't mention this outside!"
"Oh, yes, yes, I was wrong. I won't say it anymore."
Jiang Yue remained calm, and while she was talking to Jiang Nian, she turned around and took a look at the two middle-aged women. Their faces were sallow, their lips were peeling, but their waists and abdomen were obviously bulging.
She turned back.
Now you know where the weird place is!
These people have gentle faces and even a faint smile. They are no longer rushing to grab food like a month ago. They no longer curse when they can't buy food and accept it calmly.
She thought it was because she had no choice but to accept the reality, but now she found out that it was because they took something called satiety pills.
What is this? Where else can a master appear from nowhere? As soon as I heard it, I thought he was a genius.
