After stacking the firewood, Mr. Xiang walked around the village with his hands behind his back and smoking a pipe, and found many new faces.

When those strangers saw Mr. Xiang, they would nod in greeting and shout: "Xiang Lizheng."

Mr. Xiang nodded slightly: "Which family is it from?"

"My brother-in-law, Tiezhu." The man said with a sneer, "My mother asked me to come and see my sister."

Mr. Xiang, who knew it well, nodded: "Well, go ahead."

The man hurried to Tiezhu's house, fearing that Mr. Xiang would not know how to answer if he asked a few more questions.

In fact, these people all wanted to come to borrow food. Mr. Xiang knew that he wanted to see how those people would respond.

Mr. Xiang walked around the village with his hands behind his back. He looked like he was taking a walk, but in fact he was eavesdropping on how each family dealt with it.

"We don't have any food either. Seriously, I won't lie to you. What's the point of lying? I was thinking of going to your house to borrow some food. After all, your family has more fields than mine."

……

"The harvest is about harvesting rice, but you also know that after harvesting the rice, you came to collect the rice seeds. If I had known that there would be a locust plague, I would not have given you the rice seeds. Can you give the rice seeds to you?" give me back?"

……

"Mom asked you to come, did you know that you feel sorry for me, and asked you to bring me some food? Quick, quick, quick, take it out."

……

"My heart is really hurting. How can these locusts be so bad? They ate all my food. Cousin, you have to help us. I don't want more, just take a thousand catties. Give us the food first."

……

"Borrow food, okay, why can't you borrow it? Of course you can borrow it. After borrowing the food, take your aunt back with you. I raise your aunt and I also need to support your family. I can't afford it, so take your aunt back with you." .”

……

"I'm not a human being? Yes, I'm not a human being. Every year when your family harvests rice, I have to help cut the rice. You actually said that you have no rice and still want to borrow my grain. Do you want to force me to death?"

……

"Mother-in-law, you get up first. The ground is cold, so don't roll around. Everyone is affected by the locust plague. We don't have food, and I don't have any. It's useless for you to lie on the ground. Otherwise, you can take my meat and eat it." ?”

……

"Father-in-law, I can't get the grain, but I can give you some of the rice seeds we harvested this time. If you plant them early, you might be able to get a wave of grain, which will last longer than borrowing grain. What do you think?" "

……

Listening to all kinds of excuses, Mr. Xiang, who had his hands behind his back, smiled inwardly, but his face was serious, as if someone owed him three hundred taels of silver.

Not bad, at least they were obedient now and didn't cause him any trouble.

As for some people taking rice seeds, this is normal. It only weighs ten or twenty kilograms. If you work hard, you can harvest it later than in other villages.

Mr. Xiang knows very well that people's hearts are full of flesh, and people with soft ears cannot listen to those who are doing misfortune. It is impossible to really strangle others' escape, and they can only pretend that they cannot see it.

None of the people who come to borrow food at this time have good intentions. They all want to hollow out your family and fill mine. They act as if no one knows.

Instead of digging in such a big mountain, I just want to dig out some food from honest people's homes, and I will be panicking if I lose or not.

I met Mr. Xiang and others on the way. Several old people were walking to the ancestral hall to discuss what they had heard and seen, what would happen next, and what to solve.

When Xiang Ci woke up again, it was already afternoon. She touched her growling stomach, turned her head and saw Xiang Ling staring at her. She was startled and woke up instantly.

Xiang Ling looked deeply: "Are you awake?"

"Well, I'm awake." When he first woke up, his voice was very low and hoarse. Xiang Ci lay on the quilt, lazily, "I was killed twice in my dream just now."

Xiang Ling was shocked: "Killed twice? Died and resurrected again?"

Xiang Ci closed his eyes and nodded: "Well, he died once, then suddenly resurrected in someone else, and was killed again."

Just now in the dream, the first death was like a normal death.

After death, her soul flew up, took over other people's bodies with a whoosh, and then continued to fight for the owner of this body.

But in the end, she was killed by someone else, making her seem useless and powerless.

She obviously exercises every day, why can't she kill others?

"In the past, you were killed by others in the first half of the night, and you woke up in the middle. Then you killed others in the middle of the night after falling asleep, and then you fainted from hunger."

Xiang Wan woke up and began to understand: "Yesterday, you were killed by others in the first half of the night. You woke up in the middle of the night and didn't go to sleep until dawn. Then you were killed twice by others in your dream..."

She looked at Xiang Ci: "You're not hungry yet? Does this mean there's a big difference between sleeping in the middle of the night and sleeping at dawn?"

Xiang Ci sat up suddenly and tried to analyze: "If I sleep until dawn, I will die in various strange ways in my dream."

"If I wake up and fall asleep again, I can kill others, but I have to replenish my energy after waking up."

"But last night, I went to bed at the same time as before, and then it took me half the night to fall asleep at dawn..."

She paused for a moment and looked at Xiang Ling and Xiang Wan: "Does this mean that if I don't sleep in the middle of the night, I will have one more life?"

Xiang Wan asked her back: "But don't forget, midnight and dawn are actually the same day. If you have an extra life, why do you only die once when you sleep in the middle of the night, but twice when you sleep at dawn?"

Xiang Ci frowned: "That makes sense."

At this time, Xiang Ling said: "One more thing, if you sleep from midnight to dawn, you will die once in two hours."

"You slept until dawn... you slept from the beginning of the morning to the end of the night, sleeping for more than five hours..."

She looked at Xiang Ci with horror on her face: "Does it mean that you will die every two hours? If you sleep for more than this time, you will die again?"

Xiang Ci was shocked: "Then if I sleep for six hours in the middle of the night, wouldn't I die three times?"

Ouch, this makes everyone feel scared.

Drink some spiritual spring water to calm down the shock.

Xiang Ci put his finger in his mouth to drink the spirit spring water, and when it fell into Xiang Wan and Xiang Ling's eyes, he sighed with distress. The child was frightened.

"Cuckoo..."

As soon as the voice sounded, Xiang Wan sat up suddenly and stared at her: "Quickly, get up, don't faint from hunger."

Xiang Ci had already opened the quilt and stood up. When putting on his shoes, his head fell forward and he almost fell. He sat down on the small stool, held his head, and stayed awake for two seconds before running to the kitchen.

I was so surprised to die twice just now that I was confused for a while and forgot about the existence of hunger.

He rushed to the kitchen, took off the lid of the pot, and looked at the pot of food steaming across the water. Xiang Ci reached out and took out the pot, touching his ears because they were so hot.

She was speechless while eating. If she was eating at the rate she was eating, what would she do if a severe drought came?
