Chapter 5 A glimmer of life in a desperate situation
Su Yunnuan knew that Pan Yuhu was suspicious of her, so she silently stood up and walked to the newly repaired wall. She raised her hand and knocked on the wall. Then she lay on the wall and smelled it. Now she was sure that there was something weird about the wall.
Ignoring Pan Yuhu, there was a woodcutter hanging on the wall. She took it directly and started to carefully dig at the wall.
This wall was not built with rammed earth, but with adobe. The adobe inside was exposed after peeling off the wall. There was only a faint light from the brazier in the room, so I couldn't see clearly. I could only pull off a piece and twist it with my hands. If it was
If it is soil, it will take a lot of effort to crush it, and it will not stick to your hands after crushing, but this small piece is easy to crush, and it sticks to your hands delicately.
As if she had discovered a new world, Su Yunnuan turned around excitedly: "Yuhu, we have something to eat!"
Pan Yuhu thought that his sister-in-law was really crazy. If soil could be eaten, so many people in the village would not starve to death. But the light from the brazier shone on her face, and her excited look made Pan Yuhu have to come over.
"Look, what does this look like?" Su Yunnuan wanted to say it was a potato, but suspicion had aroused, so she changed her mind temporarily.
Pan Yuhu took it and twisted it, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully several times. He squatted down and touched the wall in disbelief: "It's a potato, it's a potato!"
Yes! Sure enough, it’s not called a potato, nor a potato. It’s called a potato here!
"How did you know?" Pan Yuhu stared at Su Yunnuan unkindly again.
Su Yunnuan cleared her throat: "Er Gouzi almost starved to death. With his strength, the wall couldn't be broken open so easily. Besides, I always smelled potatoes, so I wondered if
We didn't find there was any food at home, so we gave it a try, and it was amazing that there was actually food, but we didn't know how much there was and whether it would be enough to last until spring."
Pan Yuhu thought for a while and squatted on the ground: "Let's see tomorrow, sister-in-law, there is a cave on the other side of the mountain col. Let's go into the mountain to avoid trouble."
The people in the village are too ferocious and are capable of cannibalism. Their five and a half-year-old children are really unsafe. Even though her soul is in her twenties, she cannot stand up to the body of a fourteen-year-old.
But entering the mountains is a dead end. How can a cave protect a family? There are many wild beasts that do not hibernate, and as a modern person, she believes that the mountains are more dangerous.
As for the people in these villages, wherever people gather there will be good and bad. As long as a delicate balance can be maintained, they may not be unable to survive.
"Yuhu, do everyone in the village eat people?" Su Yunnuan asked.
Pan Yuhu returned to the haystack at the door and sat down, carefully covering his younger brother with soft grass: "No, it's just Zhao Changlin who took the lead in doing evil, and many people followed suit. If you go into the mountains, Yubao and I can feed you, and I can hunt."
"
Su Yunnuan said softly: "Don't be anxious. If you really can't do it, go into the mountain again. Now I want to test people's hearts with potato bricks."
"People's hearts?" Pan Yuhu looked in Su Yunnuan's direction with confusion.
Su Yunnuan curled her lips: "We have something to eat."
Pan Yuhu was a smart man and immediately understood what Su Yunnuan meant. He hugged his knees and sat on the soft grass, frowning as he considered the people in the village.
Su Yunnuan was also making calculations, but unfortunately the original owner was an honest and responsible little village girl. She only had this family and a few younger brothers and sisters in her eyes, and could not provide her with any other information.
Touching the bracelet on her wrist, she sighed heavily in her heart. They said that masters are among the people. She didn't know if she could go back. If she could go back, she would definitely catch the old woman under the overpass and ask her what she did.
Come here? What the hell is this bracelet?
"Go to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow." Pan Yuhu said nothing else.
Su Yunnuan was also sleepy, so she lay down and slowly turned over, and touched the heads of Yuzhu and Yushuang. They didn't feel any fever. The sentence "Poor children are easy to raise" popped into her mind.
There was a rustling sound in her ears, and Su Yunnuan knew it was Pan Yuhu. After a while, the door was gently closed. She went down to the grass den and checked Pan Yubao. It was also fine. Now she felt reassured.
Curiously, I looked out through the crack in the door and saw Pan Yuhu busy working in the kitchen. He didn't know what he was busy with.
As an only child, she had been envious of other people having older brothers or older sisters since she was a child. But now that she was a sister-in-law, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. It was so embarrassing.
She lay down again and used pre-sleep meditation to force herself to sleep. As a result, she was very, very tired when she slept. Her dreams were all about the original owner. It was more about the original owner's obsession than a dream. It made her exhausted.
Try your best.
When I opened my eyes, the outside was white, and I didn't know what time it was. I glanced at Yushuang and Yuzhu who were sleeping next to me, thinking that these children must not want to wake up, thinking that this would save their energy.
He got up, wrapped his shabby coat tightly and went out to the kitchen. There was a large pot of hot water in the kitchen. The fire in the stove was not extinguished but there was no trace of Pan Yuhu.
Su Yunnuan washed her face and took out the remaining rabbit meat from last night. Thinking of the potato wall, she trotted back to the house and dug out two large pieces of white mashed potatoes with her clothes in her pocket.
She couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the working people. Of course, she admired the people who built this house even more. They must have been so far-sighted that they actually left a chance for future generations to survive.
Carefully remove the dirt on it in the kitchen, then melt it with hot water and set it aside. Boil the rabbit meat in boiling water, cut it into pieces and put it into the pot. Add salt and start boiling it. After boiling the pot, put it into a boil.
Stir the mashed potatoes in little by little, and after a while the fragrance will spread out. Most of the pot is sticky and thick, and Su Yunnuan can't help but want to laugh.
At this moment, the door was kicked open again, and this time obviously more people came.
Su Yunnuan was anxious and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, where can I hide this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, even the porridge basin and the remaining rabbit meat were gone.
Su Yunnuan was dumbfounded. She reached out and pinched the wooden bracelet: "Man, are you sure this is okay?"
"Get out! Pan Yuhu, you little bastard, get out of here!" After snarling, the old woman's voice continued to curse. She was so confident that she didn't look like a starving person: "God damn disaster star."
! The whole village is going to starve to death, but you can still come up with meat to eat? It’s okay if others don’t care, even your grandparents, you are a weakling and unworthy of your descendants!”
"If you ask me, these little brats must have eaten my eldest brother and sister-in-law!" Pan Erlin said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, my miserable son, look at the evil you have done. You will not be able to live in peace even after death, and you will have to be stewed and drank by your own son."
When Su Yunnuan walked out of the kitchen, she saw a skinny little old lady falling to the ground, fluttering against the cold snow, crying and almost rolling on the ground.
The person who came was none other than someone from the Pan family's old house, followed by a large group of villagers.
These villagers didn't watch much of the fun, they were more interested in looking for food or cannibalism.
Su Yunnuan glanced at these people, walked to and stopped at the door, and said coldly: "The King of Hell didn't want me to die, so he brought me three thousand human flesh back. What's going on? Do you want a share of the pie?"
Old Mrs. Pan, who was crying on the ground, suddenly stopped crying and looked up at Su Yunnuan. Her eyes were so complicated that it was indescribable.
