Red apricots make spring

Chapter 63
The water in the cauldron boiled with a thud, and the heat was bubbling up in the ruined temple. People's faces were hidden behind the steam, and their faces were blurred.A ragged boy was lying on an oilcloth not far from the fire, with a quilt on his body, his eyelids and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly from time to time, but there was no sign of waking up.

Rourou scooped a bowl of water from the pot, then put some sugar from the sugar bag that she carried into the bowl, slowly stirred it with a spoon, and handed it to Xiaohuan, saying: "Feed him some hot sugar water, I will See if he's freezing and starving."

Hearing this, Xiaohuan took the bowl and spoon, blew it slowly, and wanted to feed it into the boy's mouth, but he clenched his teeth tightly, and more than half of the sugar water he fed flowed out again, and he passed out and wet his clothes.

"Gang'er, use a pair of chopsticks to pry his teeth open." Rourou frowned, and wiped the corner of the boy's mouth with a towel.In order to pour down the sugar water, she didn't care about violence or not.

Mother Wen was still a little restless by the side, and she was even more frightened when she thought of a corpse lying in the woods. Seeing Xiaohuan feeding the boy sugar water gulply, she couldn't help hesitating and said: "We... won't spread anything A life lawsuit?"

The coachman was stringing a branch with a steamed bun and roasting it on the fire. Hearing what she said, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've checked the corpse, it's starved to death! It won't cause any trouble."

Mother Wen was still waiting to talk, but she saw Rourou handed her a steamed bun, so she had to take it, shut her mouth, and start to chew.Anyway, she has seen through it, as long as her daughter decides what to do, it is useless for her to say anything, it is better to fill her stomach quickly, have a good night's rest, and leave this ghost place early in the morning.

The atmosphere in the temple was quiet and depressing at first, but when the smell of food diffused, the victims who huddled in a corner to keep warm became agitated, but those two scholars, sitting by a fire, talked about everything. It's poetry, books and scriptures, except for occasionally sneaking a sneak peek at Rourou, she doesn't do anything else.

Rourou was busy observing the young man's state, saw his eyelids quivering twice, and finally a little blood appeared on his pale face, knowing that the man had been saved, he was relieved, and turned his head to eat his hand Rina's tasteless buns.But she didn't notice that the victims whispered to each other for a while, and finally one of them took the lead and stood up and walked towards her.

The five victims hesitated and slowly approached. Rou Rou raised his head and finally saw it. He thought to himself, they probably came to beg for food, right?Anyway, there is a lot of food to buy, so it’s okay to give them some, but before she opened her mouth, she heard the leading victim stammering in a trembling voice: "Give...all the food... come out……"

Ok?This is not begging, it is clearly robbery!It seems that these victims are so hungry that they don't even care about breaking the law.Rourou frowned slightly, and was about to negotiate with them, but one of the victims suddenly rushed to her, snatched the steamed stuffed bun from her hand, and stuffed it into her mouth hungrily.

Rao was gentle and well-informed, and was stunned when he was suddenly robbed.

"You... how can you grab it! This is too lawless!" The coachman stood up angrily.

Unexpectedly, the victim who snatched the steamed stuffed buns had some food in his mouth, and he forgot his fear long ago. At this moment, all he thought about was eating, and he ignored what the driver was saying. After getting the golden bun, he snatched it up again and stuffed it into his mouth desperately, choking and retching.

The others hadn't eaten a drop of food for four or five days. Seeing that this person was eating happily, they were afraid that if they were too late, they wouldn't even be able to grab the scum of the buns. Not to mention that they had snatched them all, even the dried lotus leaf bag they put aside was shaken open, and the food inside was wiped out.

Ruan has never encountered such a situation before, and she really doesn't know what to do, scolding and reasoning are definitely useless to these starving victims, so she might as well save her tongue!He only dragged Xiaohuan, who was trembling slightly, behind him, and then looked around with his eyes, and saw the two scholars shrank in the corner of the wall in fright, not daring to make a sound, knowing that they could not be expected to stand up and come forward. Come out and do what is right.

On the other hand, there was a comatose teenager lying on the ground, and Mama Wen was pleading repeatedly. Although Wen Gang was protecting Mama Wen, he glared angrily at the victims, as if he wanted to rush up and do something, but he It's a child who hasn't even grown up in stature, so it's useless, only the mature coachman is left to confront them, but he is alone, trying to stop these five hungry and faint adult men, I'm afraid it won't be possible .

what to do?It's useless to reason, and it's definitely impossible to fight. There is only one way left now, escape!But in the wilderness, the road outside the temple gate is so dark that you can't even see the road, and the car is not covered, and she is still dragging the old and the young here, what if you lose one of them along the way?Freezing for half a night is enough to kill people.Wen Rou had no choice but to stay where she was, praying secretly in her heart, hoping that the five disaster victims were just grabbing something to fill their bellies, and never hurt anyone.

calm down!calm down!She watched the five victims eating their necks straight up. Although she was already calling for help in her heart, she could only suppress her panic and force herself to calm down.At this time, you must not show timidity, otherwise they will do whatever they want.

"Everything you can eat has been eaten by you, can you go away?"

The voice seemed to come from a distant place, and it didn't sound like her own anymore, but Wen Rou was satisfied that she spoke without trembling or timidity.She stood there, staring coldly at the five victims, thinking, if only her eyes could turn into reality, she erected a thick ice wall to isolate herself from these five crazy people.

A disaster victim managed to swallow the food with his neck straight. He was speechless for a while, and only pointed to the sugar bag next to Wen Rou. After a long while, he said fiercely: "Give that sugar...give it to me!"

Gentle bent down, picked up the sugar bag and threw it over, and then saw the five victims gathered around and looted it, and even beat and kicked for it. Finally, each of them got a handful of sugar, licked and ate it, and then grabbed the sugar Bag, use your saliva-stained fingers to stick the remaining sugar grains in the bag.

Rourou frowned again, she could no longer express the situation in words, besides the fear of these five people, there was also a little pity in her heart.If they finished grabbing the food and could just let the people on her side go, she didn't want to worry too much about it, but wishes are usually beautiful, but reality is often cruel.

The victims, who barely ate half full, had already gotten addicted to it. The previous look of humbleness and cowardice was swept away on their faces, and instead they showed fierce eyes, staring at Gentleness, and stretched out their big dirty hands Said: "Hand over all the money on your body!"
