After rebirth, she took off with her cubs in space
Chapter 91: Exchange the Child for Food
"Chief, look. Is there a city ahead?"
For two days in a row, everyone was so hungry that they had no strength left. At this time, Goudan's father pointed to the front and said to Zhao Youtian.
Li Rouniang also looked up and saw something faintly visible in front of him. He blinked his eyes carefully, fearing that he was dazzled, but it was indeed a city!
Dahe Erhe said happily: "It really is a city, that's great, we are saved."
Others were also inspired and suddenly gained strength. There were starving people everywhere along the way. It is no exaggeration to say that many people really died of starvation on the road: there were old people, children, and women. It was terrifying to watch.
They supported each other. Li Rouniang supported Old Man Mo and walked forward with the two children on her back. Dahe and Erhe were very loyal and each held a child. Xiu'er held Xiaocao.
Xiaocao had just escaped from the plague, but now he was hit by hunger. His originally not very fat face was now skin and bones, and his eyes were bulging out, which looked a bit scary and heartbreaking.
Xiaoshan and Sanni'er Li Rouniang didn't have much milk to drink. During this period, they only relied on space water to survive, and occasionally cooked some wild vegetable soup, but neither of them liked to drink it, and they were not as active as usual. Father Mo was very distressed, but he himself was old and weak and it was difficult to support him. He was even a little unable to carry Xiaoshan. Li Rouniang used the surrounding willow branches to weave a large backpack frame like this, which could carry the two children together.
When the crowd saw the city, they plucked up their courage and walked forward. As they got closer, they saw a large crowd of people at the city gate.
When everyone arrived, they saw the two big words "Wind City" written on the city gate.
Li Rouniang settled the children and Old Man Mo, left Erhe behind, and walked into the crowd with Daha, trying to see if they could find something to eat.
The same thing happened to other families. The young and strong ones tried to find ways to get food. After all, with so many people, it was impossible to get enough food for everyone at once. They could only disperse and each family took the lead. Whoever got the best food was lucky.
Li Rouniang and Dahe walked into the crowd, most of whom were refugees. At this time, the city gate opened, but it was heavily guarded. Some small vendors came out with rice on their backs. The refugees surrounded them. The small vendor shouted loudly: "I am not doing charity. I need money. Those who have money can pay for it. Those who don't have money can move back."
Li Rouniang and Daha looked at each other and decided to wait and see for a while.
"Please, save my poor child, he is only three years old and has been hungry for two days!" A woman came forward and kowtowed, crying!
However, crying poor did not work, and the unscrupulous vendors remained unmoved!
The other refugees stood there at a loss, in a stalemate, not knowing whether to leave or not.
The refugees who can reach here are basically short of money.
"If you want food and don't have money, you can exchange your children, but only children!" At this time, a small vendor with a pointed face and monkey cheeks opened the food next to him, which made everyone jealous.
But there were eight burly men following him with weapons in their hands, and no one dared to rob the refugees who were so hungry that they had no strength left.
"Are you serious? We can exchange children for food? How do we do it?" someone asked with some interest.
"It's very simple. One small bag of food for each child. Girls can get half a bag, and boys can get a full bag." The vendor took out a small bag the size of a palm.
What can this do? But if I cook rice porridge with wild vegetables, it can last for another three to five days.
"I'll change!" a man shouted.
"Dad, you can't treat our child like this." The woman holding the child beside the man cried.
"Mother, listen to me. If we continue like this, our family of three will starve to death. This child has been hungry for three days. If he is replaced, he may still have a chance to survive, but if he follows us, he will die." The man said sadly.
The woman stopped talking and just cried while holding the child. The man hardened his heart and snatched the child away and gave it to the vendor.
The child was so hungry that he had no strength left. He just opened his big tearful eyes and shouted, "Mom and Dad, I don't want to leave!"
The vendor was very happy. He filled a bag with them and handed it to the man, saying, "That's right. Everyone should be open-minded. It's a good thing to be alive now. It's better than dying together. Do you have anything else to exchange?"
With this beginning, many families came forward one after another to exchange.
Li Rouniang stopped the woman beside her and said, "Mother Daya, are you going to change your big teeth?"
Yes, this woman is Dayaniang from their Zhaojia Village. Dayaniang said with sorrow in her eyes: "If I don't change it, will I stay here and wait for death?"
Daya also hugged Daya with tears in her eyes: "Mom, I'm good, I can eat wild vegetable soup, I can chew tree roots, please don't let me leave you, okay?"
Daya's mother also squatted down, hugged Daya and cried, crying and saying: "Daya, it's not that mother doesn't want to keep you, but look, our only boy, Baogen, is almost starving to death. You are not doing this for mother or father, but we can't let the Zhao family's incense die out. Before your grandfather died on the mountain, he asked you to protect our Baogen."
Daya stopped struggling, she just cried and obeyed Daya's mother.
Li Rouniang also let go of her hand, perhaps changing it would be a good result.
At this time, a woman suddenly rushed out and yelled, "Don't believe him, he is a liar. He sold these children to wealthy businessmen with special hobbies for fun. The children will only have one full meal at best, and they will be tortured to death within three days. Don't hand your children over to this trafficker. My child died like this. Yesterday, he was taken out of the city and piled up in a mass grave. There are already many children piled up in the mass grave. If you don't believe me, you can go and see!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Some people who had exchanged their children hurriedly said, "I don't want to exchange them anymore. Give my child back to me!"
But it’s not that easy!
The merchant said coldly, "I don't know whose family is jealous of us and sent this crazy woman to cause trouble. We are doing a serious business and the child will be sold to a nobleman as a servant in the future. Don't listen to her nonsense!"
But there are still many people who want their children back. They are their own flesh and blood. They sell their children out of reluctance just to give them a chance to survive. There is no reason to send their children to die!
"The deal is done, there is no regret. Do you want to break the contract? Then you can't just return this small bag of grain. You have to return ten times!" He raised the document in his hand.
However, all those who exchange children have to give fingerprints. How many of these refugees can read?
I pressed it without thinking because I was dizzy! Now there is a lot of crying,
Daya looked at his mother, and his mother looked at Daya. Daya's mother hesitated.
At this time, Daya's father rushed over from behind, grabbed Daya's hand, and said, "Let's switch!"
Daya's mother grabbed Daya's father and said, "Dad, let's think of other ways!"
But everyone's father said: "Bao Gen has fainted from hunger!"
Dayaniang lowered her head, said nothing, and silently let go of her hand.
Zhao Daya's eyes were filled with disappointment~
