They didn't have much food left, and they were pressed for time. They couldn't tell when they would leave. Naturally, it was impossible to set up a pot to cook, so they could only distribute a small amount of bread.
The middle-aged man and his wife only got two. They were very small, only as big as a woman's fist, and they didn't know how long they had been there. They were hard when picked up.
He picked it up, took a bite, and complained:
"Where did the pig food come from? It was just used to fool us. They were greedy for all the good stuff!"
The woman beside him said nothing.
When the man didn't get the response, he turned his head impatiently, only to find that the woman was holding the bread in her hand, taking a careful bite before stuffing it into her arms.
"It's already as hard as a rock. If you don't eat it quickly, why are you hiding it?" the middle-aged man said angrily:
"If you don't want to eat, just give it to me, I'm still hungry!"
Unexpectedly, the woman who had always been submissive in the past shook her head this time.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and just as he was about to yell at her a few words out of habit, he heard her whisper:
"We only have these two pieces of bread with us. Save it. I'll put it away first. If you're hungry at night, you'll have something to eat."
Before the end of the world, this man had to eat late-night snacks every day, and he often complained of hunger during the past two nights.
The woman's tone was a little insensitive and taken for granted. She had been married to this man for so many years, and because of his selfishness, they had never had children.
She didn't dare to give birth either.
Because they had been together for a long time, she found that she and the other person had become the same person, both liking to take advantage and asking for things from others as a matter of course.
She realized it, but couldn't change it. At the beginning, she could occasionally think of restraining herself, but later she just broke it.
The couple became scoundrels together. She couldn't imagine how a child in such a family would be raised.
So she had never thought about having a child. This was the only motherly love that a weak woman like her could give to the child who had no way to come into the world.
For such a long time, even she herself has regarded herself as an accessory of this man. She has habitually tolerated everything for him and considered him without any complaints.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but froze. He carefully observed the woman in front of him. What did she look like when she was young?
I seem to have forgotten.
In my memory, it seems that this person is the only one with a few slender wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, dark yellow skin, dry hair, and dull eyes. The way she talks and chatters every day, she doesn't look like a woman at all, she's just like an old woman.
What did she look like before marrying him?
The woman had just stuffed the bread into her arms and hid it when suddenly another half-eaten piece of bread was thrown into her arms. He raised his head in surprise and saw the man turning his head and saying in a rough voice:
"It's cold and hard, like a stone. You can't even eat it. Just eat it!"
The woman's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she were meeting him for the first time, and she stared blankly at the person in front of her.
The middle-aged man felt uncomfortable all over, so he simply stood up and strode away.
Originally I just came out to get some air, but I caught a glimpse of one of those annoying kids from yesterday. I took a second look, was there a bandage on his wrist? !
There was a hint of malice in the middle-aged man's eyes.
Mu Tang originally wanted to bring Niba to help them dig out the wall. Just as he was about to turn around and call Niba, someone asked in his ear:
"Did you get bitten?!"
Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed over and reached out to grab her wrist.
Mu Tang shook off his hand, took a few steps back, frowned and asked:
"what are you doing?"
The middle-aged man's face was full of arrogance. He pointed to the bandage on her wrist and said loudly:
"Why are you wearing such thick bandages on your hands?!"
At this time, "bandage" and "bitten" were sensitive words. No one would be nervous hearing these two words. This man had a loud voice and did not even think about covering it up.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people, and some people even got out of the car and looked inquisitively.
"No……"
Before Mu Tang finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by a middle-aged man:
"You said you didn't, so you didn't?! Who knows if you're lying? If you brought such a big monster in, you might have been bitten by it!!"
"With such a thick bandage, you look guilty!! If you become a zombie, wouldn't we all die?!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around him.
The man who was afraid of death hurriedly hid in the car and locked the door tightly.
Mu Tang's face looked normal, and there was nothing strange about his body. It didn't look like he had been bitten at all.
Of course the middle-aged man also knew this, but what did it matter? He was just thinking about everyone's safety.
No one was willing to come out to speak for Mu Tang, and most of them were gloating about the misfortune. They were more willing to stand around and watch the fun than to save the little girl.
Even if someone is willing to help her out, they are not willing to be the one who stands out.
The middle-aged man continued to be aggressive, as if he wanted to regain all the face he lost yesterday:
"You just say it's true. If you can, open the bandage and let us see!"
Of course, it was impossible for Mu Tang to open the bandage. This was the first time she encountered such a situation, and she was at a loss for a moment.
"Girl, if you haven't been bitten, just open the bandage and show us." A woman finally couldn't stand it anymore and said.
Someone spoke, and people around him also said:
"Yeah, don't be afraid, just open it and show it to us."
"Look at your face, it doesn't look like you were bitten. Just show the wound and let us take a look and it will be fine."
Their intentions were good, but they made Mu Tang's situation even more difficult.
Mu Tang shook his head silently.
The middle-aged man, as if he had found a new handle, immediately said loudly and proudly:
"Don't you dare?! You said you weren't bitten. If not, why didn't you dare to show the wound!"
Mu Tang's attitude and the middle-aged man's words completely aroused the suspicion of the onlookers. If asking her to reveal the wound just now was with good intentions, now it is completely evil.
"You should show the wound!"
"I must have been bitten, otherwise why wouldn't I dare to take off the bandage?!"
"Kick her to death!"
…
Seeing the people around him criticizing the little girl in front of him, the middle-aged man didn't feel any guilt at all, but became even more proud!
You embarrassed me yesterday, do you still dare to be proud of me now? !
The crowd became more and more agitated. They surrounded Mu Tang and uttered evil words. Some people even wanted to come up and tear off Mu Tang's bandage!
"Isn't it just to take off the bandage?! If you don't feel guilty, you can take it off!!" someone shouted.
Mu Tang's face was pale. Looking at the ferocious expressions of the group of people in front of him, he felt even more shaken.
Can these people really accept her?
