Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 25 Hunger
At dawn, Su Bujing still opened his eyes to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at sunrise, and then used the toilet to replace the used up spiritual stones in his purse.

When they set off on their journey, no one looked for Li Ergou, leaving him lying on the ground wailing and fending for himself.

Because of last night's incident, everyone who fled had seen the Su family's ruthless methods, and now everyone wished they could stay eight feet away from the Su family.

A piece of open space was cleared around the Su family.

Su Buwei pulled the cart, which was loaded with bedding, pots, bowls, food and other things.

The rest of the Su family also spread out, tightly surrounding the cart, passing the Chen family and walking at the front of the team.

From a distance, it didn't look like they were traveling together, but rather like a group of beggars following the Su family.

Suddenly, Chen Wanli stepped forward and ran a few steps to catch up with the Su family. He cupped his hands and said politely:

"Brother Su, I have a cruel request. My youngest son and my mother are weak. I wonder if we can let them ride on the cart again..."

Su Yuanshan asked back: "Oh? But didn't Brother Chen see my cow run away? Now even the youngest child in my family walks on his legs. When my son pulls the cart, he also pulls some sundries."

Chen Wanli added: "My mother and child are not heavy. Besides, I am willing to pull the cart instead of my little brother."

The smile disappeared from Su Yuanshan's face, "Chen Wanli, what you said is a bit self-righteous. Who cares about you helping to pull the car?"

"Last night, Mrs. Wen came over to steal our water. I haven't settled the account with you yet, so you have the audacity to come over and make demands of me?"

"You know, not only do you have elders and children in your family, but you can't tolerate things that everyone can tolerate? Even if you can't tolerate it, why do you do this shit to me!?"

Before the accident, this person was warm-hearted, and when something happened and needed his help, he would be submissive.

People like this just like to cause trouble to others.

Su Yuanshan complained secretly in his heart and rejected Chen Wanli with a cold look on his face.

Anyway, now that their family has completely separated themselves from the refugees, they might as well fight to the end and never wrong their own people!
Chen Wanli's face turned red when Su Yuanshan said it, and his lips trembled as he uttered a few words, "You...are just talking nonsense!"

His son is still so young and has never suffered such hardships, and his mother is also old... He just wants them to live a better life!What's wrong?

After saying that, looking at Su Yuanshan's expressionless face with no intention of staying, Chen Wanli tossed his sleeves and stomped away.

Wen's cry could still be heard in the distance: "Their brat beat me like this, and they will be held responsible! Go ahead and talk about it..."

Su Yuanshan snorted coldly, ignored it, and continued on his way.

For the next ten days or so, the farther back we went, the less food we could find on the road.

Not only were the wild vegetables and fruits gone, but even the weeds and leaves within sight had been picked completely. At a glance, they were so bare that they barely reflected light!
One can imagine how many people are fleeing ahead!
Everyone who fled had no choice but to start digging in the soil and digging tree roots to eat in order to survive, and the Su family was no exception.

The food they were looking for had to feed six mouths, and they had to travel every day. Even if they saved their food, they wouldn't be able to survive for a few days.

There was still water, after all, Su Bujing would refill it from the water tank in the Immortal Mansion from time to time.

Nowadays, it is very rare for the Su family to be able to eat a few mouthfuls of food every day.

As for the other people who fled, not to mention one meal a day, it would be good to have one meal in two days, but they dare not open their stomachs to eat.

Fortunately, it rained for a while while we were on our way, and the people who fled gathered some water, so they didn't die of thirst.

Because of that burst of rain, a lot of mushrooms grew in the bushes. Many people who fled were overjoyed and picked a bunch of mushrooms that they thought were familiar to eat.

The Su family originally wanted to pick some to eat, but Su Bujing stopped them:

"What if the mushrooms are poisonous? We can get by by digging some weeds and eating them. There is no need to take the risk."

Su Yuanshan agreed with Su Bujing's words, but he felt very uncomfortable looking at the hungry and thin faces of the children.

Among the whole family, Su Buwei consumes the most.

Not only does he have to push the cart, but he also always gives some of his share of food to his younger siblings.

Su Buyi wanted to push the cart for him, but Su Buwei refused, "Brother, don't help me. I'm responsible for the missing cow. This is what I should do. Just help take care of my father and mother!" I'll watch over my sister and brother!" When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she wiped her tears with joy and said that she had grown up.

The Su family didn't go to pick mushrooms, but there were more people doing it.

However, something went wrong.

A very hungry person is eager to take a bite of anything he sees.

Some people even nibbled on raw mushrooms before they were roasted.

As expected, the person who had eaten the mushroom immediately foamed at the mouth, trembled all over, and died within a few breaths.

Looking at the people who died from poisoning, the Su family couldn't help but feel happy.

I decided in my heart that even if I eat tree roots, I cannot pick these unknown poisonous mushrooms.

But the refugees didn't think so. They thought it was poisoned because it wasn't cooked properly.

"Ayuan, go pick some more mushrooms and come back. We'll bake them and eat them. It'll be fine!"

Wen was so hungry that she looked pale, her cheekbones were bulging, her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were dry and peeling.

Ever since Wen was beaten by Su Bujing, her stomach had always been aching, but there were no redness, swelling or bruises, which gave her no excuse to blackmail the Su family.

People would just say that she was faking pain!

Chen Yuan looked at the poisoned person in horror, his thin body couldn't stop trembling, "Auntie, this...this mushroom is poisonous, no, you can't eat it!"

Mrs. Wen frowned and yelled: "Don't eat? If you don't eat, we will starve to death! Your father will give you a large piece of tree roots to eat every day, and our family has nothing left!"

That Chen Wanli only has his son and his mother in his heart!

Chen Yuan held on to Mr. Wen tightly and used all his strength to prevent Mr. Wen from roasting the poisonous mushrooms.

Mrs. Wen was so angry that she wanted to slap Chen Yuan, but she saw someone eating a ripe mushroom next to her, and died after taking one bite.

Wen:! ! !
Wen was greatly frightened, threw Chen Yuan away, and threw the poisonous mushroom out.

This harmful thing!

The people who fled looked at the people who were poisoned by roasted mushrooms, and they collapsed on the ground in despair.

"God won't give us a way to survive!"

"When will this day end!"

Su Yuanshan watched this scene, sighed deeply, and distributed the last half of the roasted sweet potato to the Su family. Each person only got a thumb-sized piece, as well as four wild vegetables, and the whole family shared it.

"Sister, eat it." Su Buwei gave Su Bujing the thumb-sized sweet potato in his hand.

Su Bujing shook his head, "Second brother, you can eat it, you still have to push the cart!"

"Second brother, you're not hungry..." As soon as Su Buwei finished speaking, his stomach rumbled.

Su Bujing reached out to take the sweet potato from Su Buwei and fed it into his mouth. "Second brother likes to lie to others the most. If you continue like this, I will ignore you."

Su Bugui held Su Bujing's hand and chewed the sweet potatoes in his mouth carefully, wishing he could chew them all day long.

Su Buyi and Su Buyou ate bit by bit, cherishing the hard-won food.

Su Yuanshan and Mrs. Zhao only ate half of it, then found a piece of cloth and put half a thumb-sized sweet potato on their bodies.

It's okay for adults like them to eat less.
