Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 23 The story repeats itself

Chapter 23 The story repeats itself
The panicked screams of women and the shrill cries of children came from the pond. Despair and panic permeated the green grass, and finally turned into blood.

The sudden refugee army broke the original tranquility. They killed anyone they saw, as if the skinny and disheveled refugees in front of them were not of the same race as them, but pigs, horses, cattle and sheep that humans could slaughter at will.

At this moment, these incarnations of the Son of Destiny, who promised to save thousands of dawns and waters and fires, abandoned the bottom line of being human in the harsh living environment, and turned into hell demons that are more terrifying than beasts!
They killed victims who were weaker than themselves, and perhaps in the boiling clay pot tonight, these "two-legged sheep" will become the staple food.

In Xu Yue's eyes, there was no difference between them and those like Du Long.

The girl's dark pupils clearly reflected the red that was gradually seeping out of the grass. This redness penetrated deeply into her heart. In the difficult moments that followed, she was reminded countless times that this is the original color of the world.

The scorching wind blew across the cheeks, and the demon raised the butcher's knife, and chopped the child so thin that only his skeleton remained in two.

Internal organs, intestines, and those innocent faces that have not had time to react yet——

The girl blinked lightly, her pupils constricted violently, resisting the dizziness caused by her body's self-protection mechanism.

She bit the tip of her tongue hard, the severe pain forced her to watch all this.

Xu Yue has always known that escaping cannot solve the problem, only by looking directly at fear can overcome it.

She will survive in this world in the future, so how can she be intimidated by what is in front of her?

Xu Yue moved her stiff body and hooked her brother's neck with one hand to reduce his stress.

With one hand, he firmly grasped the heavy quilt, which was bigger than her, and threw it onto his brother's back with great effort, so as not to let the quilt block his vision.

Xu Yue's family ran the fastest and quickly got rid of the refugee army.

They looked at the scattered people who ran away, and seemed to have lost interest in chasing them. They just watched coldly, thinking to themselves that they might starve to death in a few days, or be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.

The whole family ran wildly, not daring to look back or stop.

It wasn't until Wang, who ran to the front, found that there was no movement behind him, and then Xu Dalang and Xu Da stopped one after another.

"Is everyone okay?" Wang asked pantingly, seeing that there was no one missing in the family, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Da was carrying the heaviest pannier on his back, exhausted enough, gasping for breath, waving his hands to show that he was fine.

The three Xu Yue brothers and sisters also said that they were fine.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang raised her head to look at the setting sun, and said in a deep voice, "It's getting dark, find a place to stay first."

The family took a short breath and continued to move forward.

At this time, they had already run from the hinterland of the forest to the other side of the forest, and all the way forward was a steep slope down the mountain.

There were no pursuers behind her, so Wang put Xu Erniang down and asked her to follow Xu Da, and quickly walked forward to explore the way.

Finally, Wang led the family along the ridge to the col, and found a relatively flat place to stop.

It was getting late, the sun had only the last ray of light left, and it soon disappeared, and the whole world was completely dark.

Xu Da put down his back basket, took out a torch, lit it and stuck it in the soil, and began to count his belongings.

The kitchen knife was used as a hidden weapon, and the refugee army was too late to get it back, so it was gone.

The hatchet for chopping firewood, the rabbit skin that was placed to dry next to the grass nest, and the two killed pheasants were all gone.

There are also two bamboo tubes that are too late to clean up, and five pairs of bark shoes that he worked so hard to weave!

Thinking of those five pairs of bark shoes, which were made of foam with his own hands, so cheap for the refugee army, Xu Da took a breath and almost couldn't catch his breath.

But the depression is depression, thinking that the bedding and straw mats are all there, the most important water and taro are also brought, no one is lost, and the feet are all wearing newly made bark shoes, Xu Da feels depressed again.

After running for so long, Mrs. Wang, who has always been tenacious and never complained, couldn't take it anymore. She sat on a dry branch and urged Xu Da to light a fire and cook, and let everyone eat something first.

Xu Dafu slandered: I'm tired too, why don't you cook and serve me?

But he was beeping in his heart, and his movements were very nimble. He beckoned to Xu Erniang to help him, and then told Xu Yue and his sister to collect firewood. The father and daughter quickly lit the fire.

Then the father and daughter all looked towards Mrs. Wang in unison.

Xu Yue asked, "Aniang, where's our pot?"

Wang patted her thigh, "Grass! The pot is still by the pond!"

Xu Da hurriedly went to find the belongings brought by his family, not to mention the pot, even the broken bowls were gone!
For a moment, the five pairs of big eyes looked at each other and fell silent.

Xu Da and Wang really didn't think that an old pottery pot and five broken bowls were so important.

When the youngest daughter put these things in the back basket, they still felt that it would affect the speed of escape.

It wasn't until this moment that I realized that these guys are all eaters!

Pots and bowls can live without them, but they cannot live without pots and bowls!

"Bake it and eat it."

After a long silence, Xu Yue spoke weakly.

The family who seemed to have been tapped on the Ya point finally recovered, and nodded with an "um".

Fortunately, the aroma of barbecue quickly relieved the depressed mood of the family.

The five of them ate all the meat that Xu Da took out of the pot at noon, and only sixty catties of taro were left in the basket.

However, just as Xu Yue's family looked at the taro in the basket and secretly rejoiced, there was a sudden noise in the woods not far away.

The whole family stood up and looked at the woods vigilantly, praying that it must not be a refugee army.

A few furtive figures came out of the woods, they turned out to be Wang Dayou and his wife with a pair of children.

"Brother Xu!" Wang Dayou and his family came over in surprise.

Xu Yue's family also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, they did not expect Wang Dayou and his wife to escape.

After exchanging pleasantries, I learned that Wang Da's family hadn't had time to bring out anything. The two children were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. Leftover rice bran balls.

Wang Dayou's eyes turned red, and he held Xu Da's hand choked with sobs, "Thank you, thank you!"

Xu Da calmly withdrew his hand, gently shook the goose bumps on his back, and smiled awkwardly and politely, "Let the child eat first, don't starve to death."

Wang Dayou nodded movedly, and handed the rice bran ball to the child. The Xu Yue sisters could hardly swallow the food, but the Wang family aunt and sister ate very satisfied.

But just when there was no more movement from the big guy, the story repeated itself, and there was another noise in the woods.
