Chapter 432 Ant People 1
Zijin returned to the underworld to receive new guests.The new ghost is named Lu Tanwei, the daughter of a talented scholar, but after natural disasters and man-made disasters, she had to go out to flee, and eventually died of starvation on the way to escape.
The two signed a contract, and when Zijin entered the world, they were heading towards Fucheng, and there were many people in the same direction as them, all of whom could not survive and went to Fucheng for help.
Zijin felt that his stomach was burning hot, so he quickly picked up the water bottle and drank some water, but it didn't help.
A force pulled her forward, Zijin glanced at the source of the force, and saw that it was Yuan Bing's mother, so she followed along in a daze, now only relying on a little perseverance to persevere.
After walking for a while, she stopped to rest. Mother Lu stuffed a black dumpling into Zijin, and said eagerly, "Eat quickly, swallow it quickly."
The victims around them looked at them covetously, but no one did anything in view of Lu's father's reputation as a talented scholar.As long as it is not impossible to survive, everyone still has to be patient.
Zijin held the dumpling in her hand, but it was only one mouthful. She hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, and a salty taste spread in her mouth. It was not food at all, but soil.
Zijin covered her mouth, only feeling that something was about to come up in her throat.Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Lu's mother saw this scene, her daughter couldn't eat and wanted to vomit, she endured the distress and scolded: "If you don't eat, I will give you something else to eat, you will starve to death."
Under such circumstances, as long as it can fill the stomach, the soil is also a good thing that everyone is vying for. Zijin swallowed it with a throat, and then he wanted to vomit even more. The unpleasant taste flowed from his mouth to his throat. From the eyes to the stomach, everywhere.
However, I finally filled my stomach with something, but it was useless, it was still burning like a fire, bursts, as if it was going to burn people to death.Zijin had to hold back his stomach for a moment of comfort.
When Mother Lu saw her swallowing, she smiled reassuringly. She said to Zijin, "Be patient, it will be fine when you get to Fucheng, and mother will take you to eat delicious food then."
Zijin nodded obediently.But she asked again: "Will we be saved when we get to Fucheng? Will your lord save us?"
Xiucai's father said: "Yes, the imperial court has sent disaster relief people here, and there will be food to eat when they arrive in Fucheng." He patted his daughter's head and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine with Dad here."
Zijin smiled at Xiucai's father, and sighed silently in his heart.In the memory of the original body, they were not taken in when they arrived in Fucheng, so they had to go to a city farther away, but unfortunately they couldn't wait for the next city at all.
Zijin's biggest challenge this time is to keep his family alive.She is Lu Tanwei now.The family rested for a while, and then continued on their way. It was still far away from Fucheng.
Next, we continued to walk, and when we encountered water for a while, a group of people ran over to fill it with water, and Lu's father and mother also hurried over.The water was just a small ditch with various vines growing on it, and many small green mosses floating in the water.
The water was obviously dirty. Mother Lu tried hard to cut off the dirty things on the surface, and filled two water bottles full.Lu's mother came back and said happily: "I also caught a lot of vegetables, we can eat vegetable dumplings."
She opened her slightly wet clothes, and there was a pile of wrung-out moss inside.Father Lu said: "It's a little small, but you can have a meal." Father Lu looked around and wanted to go and get some more, but the moss had already been scooped up.
Lu Tanwei was dumbfounded, she swallowed, and reminded: "This is not edible."
Such green moss can only grow in the sewage ditch. Lu Tanwei has never seen such things growing in clean water, and she even suspects that these things are poisonous.But in this way, the water is actually dirty.
Mother Lu said: "Green, why can't you eat it? It's much more delicious than river mud. If you eat too much river mud, you won't be able to digest it, so you can't eat more."
Father Lu nodded and said: "Nowadays there is drought everywhere, these green midgets are still alive and strong, they can be compared with the four gentlemen. Wei Wei, remember these green midgets, although they are in the mud and under the scorching sun, they have never What a good quality it is to have given up on yourself!"
Lu Tanwei watched Lu's mother handle the moss. After all, the Lu family's food is different from others, and what should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to.The Lu family never drinks raw water, they have to boil it before pouring it into the kettle.The same is true for Lu's cooking.
Mother Lu boiled the freshly poured water, then put the cleaned moss into the boiling water and boiled it. After it was boiled again, she took it out and let it cool down. Finally, she added river mud and kneaded it into mouth-sized balls.It was the same size as what Lu Tanwei ate before.
Although Lu Tanwei insisted that the moss was not edible, he still stepped forward to help make the dumplings.Each dumpling was pinched and put into the burden, and there were two unfinished mud balls inside, which was their entire ration.However, if you encounter other food on the way, you still have to save it.
Although the moss looks a lot, it shrinks by more than half when squeezed out of clean water, and the moss that is finally fished out is only 3 balls.Mother Lu was very happy, and said to Lu Tanwei: "Save some food, we will definitely make it to Fucheng."
Lu Tanwei asked, "How far is Fucheng?"
Mother Lu said: "It's not far away, it's just ahead, and we'll be there soon. When we get to Fucheng, we don't have to eat these anymore. Let's eat rice, steamed buns, and meat."
Mother Lu didn't dare to report the name of the dish, lest she couldn't keep going, she just tried her best to comfort her daughter, and of course comfort herself, that it would be fine in Fucheng, and it would be fine in the front.
But Lu's mother has never been to Fucheng, and she doesn't know how long it will take to get to Fucheng. She just told herself that she will be there soon.
Father Lu sat reading a book and did not participate in the conversation between the mother and daughter, but looked up from time to time to look around.In the distance, two more families changed their children, Father Lu bowed his head.
Lu's father said to his wife and daughter: "Hurry up, let's hurry up to Fucheng."
Mother Lu rolled up the bundle in twos and said, "Okay, let's go."
The family went on the road again, catching up with others and leaving others behind, and some people kept catching up with them and leaving them behind.Wherever Lu Tanwei saw, everyone was weak and staggering, like a group of zombies on their way.
Suddenly Lu Tanwei called out, "Father."
Father Lu looked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Tan whispered: "Look ahead, there is a man grabbing a woman."
Whenever there is a big disaster, people's hearts can always be tested.On the way to escape at this moment, women and children are often the most vulnerable targets.Father Lu only took one look, then looked away, and told his wife and daughter, "Don't stay too far away from me."
Lu Tanwei agreed.Occasionally, she touched her face, and found that she could already feel the bones, and the same was true on her body, each bone was hard and somewhat painful.She saw herself in her mother's eyes, with a small face, big eyes, protruding cheekbones, and a mess on her face and head.
Especially the hair, which has not been taken care of for a long time, without water, no matter how hard I try, it will inevitably get dirty.She doesn't dare to touch her hair now, and now her hair is messed up to the point of knotting.The same is true on the body, if you smell it carefully, you can smell a smell, and if you pinch it with your hands, you can rub out mud balls.
She is only lucky now that she does not eat the mud on her body, otherwise she would not be able to eat it anyway.
