Chapter 16

"Grandma, I have an idea!"

Song Jinyue's words successfully diverted the whole family's attention to her.

She cleared her throat, then said with a smile: "We can learn from the Shen family and go door to door asking for things."

"In this case, everyone will think that we have no food!"

"That's a great idea!"

Song Haitao was the first to speak up and praise, this little niece really has something in her mind. This time he was completely convinced.

"Mom, let's do this!" Song Hailong also agreed.

Mrs. Song thought for a while and felt that this idea was indeed feasible, "But if we go out in this outfit, it will be a lie."

Song Jinyue thought about it and quickly came up with an idea, "Then tear your clothes and pants, mess up your hair, make your face a little dirty, and do the whole thing for the show."

"Peel the bark off trees and dig up grass roots more often in front of others."

"Just do it!"

Mrs. Song felt that there was no other way but this.

"As for the matter of knitting straw sandals, let's put it aside for a while. The food we have now can last for a long time."

Mrs. Song was worried that the immortal would be unhappy if she did this, so she kowtowed and explained again.

Then, the Song family underwent a big transformation early the next morning, both inside and out.

The Song family, headed by Mrs. Song, each took their rice bowls and begged for food from one place early in the morning. Even Song Haishan was walking with difficulty on a walking stick, supported by Song Hailong and Song Haitao.

"Please, give us something to eat, we're starving!"

“Don’t ask for more, just one sweet potato, one potato, or a handful of wild vegetables will do!

Many people had already discussed taking action against the Song family, but Song Jinyue, who was afraid of the evil sect, did not dare to take action. However, no matter how afraid she was, she still had to make a choice in the face of life and death.

Just like when Xu Tiansheng and others were robbed, a few people died, but the remaining people were the majority after all, so they could eat food.

But now, looking at the Song family, who were disheveled and taking a few breaks every step of the way, it was obvious that they really were out of food.

Moreover, what is even more surprising is that the Song family actually used a knife to cut the rough and dry bark. The little girl even picked up a ball of mud from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth.

"This is too miserable!"

Although they have no food, they are not eating mud. It is believed that there are too many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Song family, and Song Hailong cannot take care of them alone, which is why they are in such a miserable situation.

Song Jinyue rolled her eyes silently. Is she that stupid? When the mud entered her mouth, it had already turned into sweet and delicious chocolate.

Seeing the Song family in such misery, Shen Hong felt that there must have been a misunderstanding that day. He was extremely lucky. Fortunately, Shen Cui and Song Hailong were not allowed to reconcile. Otherwise, Xu Tian would not care about them when the water receded in the future.

A few days after the Song family cut the bark, other people in the mountain couldn't hold on any longer and had to cut the bark and dig up the grass roots.

Xu Tiansheng was so hungry that he was dizzy. He asked people everywhere for food. Shen Hong and a group of people dug up bark and grass roots and cooked them so disgustingly that he couldn't eat them.

Song Haitao took a large bowl of bark and sweet potato soup and stepped forward.

"How about one tael of silver per bowl."

Xu Tiansheng looked at the greasy piece and felt his stomach churn.

"This, is this for people to eat?"

"Don't pull it down." Song Haitao rolled his eyes, "I found these sweet potatoes with great difficulty, they are very rare!"

"No, I want it!"

Xu Tiansheng was already dizzy with hunger. There was a little sweet potato in this, which was better than Shen Hong's rice. He gritted his teeth and pulled off a jade pendant from his clothes. "Can you provide for me for a few more days? I will repay you in the future." .”

This was the only thing he had left. On that day, everyone not only robbed him of food, but also stripped him of all his clothes. The jade pendant fell to the ground while pulling it, and no one noticed it, so he kept it.

Song Haitao turned the jade pendant with his hand. If it were taken out, it would probably be worth a lot of money. The flood would recede sooner or later, so this was a good deal.

"It's done!"

Giving Xu Tiansheng a large bowl of soup in his hand, Song Haitao happily accepted the jade pendant, "By the way, remember to return the bowl after eating."

Song Jinnan was a little puzzled, "Uncle, we obviously didn't put any bark on it?"

"I added it later!"

Song Haitao covered his mouth and said with a smile, this could be considered a small revenge.

Seeing Xu Tiansheng coming out of Song's house, people passing by stretched their necks to peek into the big bowl, taking a look at the dark piece that looked like boiled tree bark.

"It seems that everyone has no food now!"

"The Song family is kind-hearted. My daughter-in-law was robbed by this man. She wants me and won't give him money in exchange. This kind of person deserves to starve to death."

"I can't believe that rich people's ability to survive in a disaster is not as good as ours!"

Seeing the downturn of Xu Tian's life, some people who had a hatred of the rich were very happy.

When it was completely dark, the Song Hailong brothers quietly went to the mountains. Song Jinyue was responsible for paying attention to the surrounding situation.

In the darkness, they lit candles and removed the boulders on the ground. Song Hailong dug on the ground with a sickle. After a while, a wooden box and several bags of food were revealed.

He quickly took out a few potatoes and stuffed them into the basket, and then opened the wooden box. There were biscuits, ham sausages, braised eggs, peanuts and other nutritious items inside.

The two of them only took out a large bag of peanuts and a large box of biscuits from the box, leaving the rest untouched.

After taking the things, a few people filled the soil and rolled over the big rocks. After careful inspection, they found nothing unusual and left with confidence.

When they arrived at the cave, they divided some biscuits and peanuts among themselves. Everyone tightened the curtains and ate delicious food with the help of weak candlelight. As for the potatoes, they saved them for tomorrow morning and pretended that they were found in the mountains.

Hunger makes people collapse. There was a death incident in the mountains. It was an old lady named Wang. She was old and had difficulty moving. She had many children and grandchildren, but they only looked after themselves every time they found something to eat. The old lady starved to death. He was still holding some grass roots in his mouth before he died.

The atmosphere in the mountains became more tense, and Mrs. Song became more and more uneasy. Seeing that there was no way around, something would happen sooner or later if things continued like this. In the early years of the famine, some people would even do things that were against human ethics in order to survive.

Inside the mountain, there are people everywhere, most of them are like the Song family, digging around with knives.

The Song family members were among the crowd and did not attract any strange eyes. Everyone felt a little relieved. At least in everyone's mind, everyone was living the same life, thus avoiding being the target of public criticism.

Song Jinyue looked like she had been reincarnated from a starvation situation. She ate everything she saw and acted rudely. Her crazy actions scared everyone away from the Song family.

"Oh, this is too scary!"

"This girl must be starving."

"Oh, how pitiful. It seems that the Song family is also a patriarchal family."

"..."

This is what Song Jinyue wants. They are all so close. As time goes by, they will definitely find something wrong with them.
