Hard work

Chapter 223 Disaster Victims
Lan Huaer waited anxiously at home for Zang Lang's arrival.Guan Ju was still waiting for Yan Dalang at home alone, and he didn't know what was going on with her.Lan Hua'er thought of it occasionally, and wanted to go to Guan Ju's house, but was held back by Gaihua and Goudan.

The two of them didn't want Lan Hua'er to go outside at all, and when they saw the rain outside, they pulled Lan Hua'er to prevent her from going out.

"The weather is bad recently, so don't go outside." Gaihua stopped him desperately, "They are all in the village, they have a place to live and food to eat, so how can they live a bad life. Don't go out by yourself I’m hurt, what can I do. I still need you to cook at home.”

Lan Hua'er really wanted to complain about the phrase "I want you to cook", but after thinking about it, this was indeed the case, so she could only be stopped by the two brothers at home dumbfounded.

The victims outside Aozi Village are gathering more and more, coming from many different villages, and some even come from places that Lanhuaer has never heard of.

When they were at home, they even secretly hid together to discuss whether the people from my family would flee to Aozi Village.

The village where our family is located is not very far from Aozi Village, the terrain is neither high nor low, and I don't know if it will be flooded.If people from the same family really came to Wufang for help, no one could say whether they should be rejected or not.

Ordinarily, no one in the five rooms likes the family, but no matter how much they don't, they are relatives after all, and they are in the famine after all.It's one thing to dislike them on weekdays and not want them to take advantage of the autumn wind, but in the face of a disaster, if you really want to keep people out of the door, it seems that no one in the family can do it.

"Don't think too much about it, let's talk about it when we get home." Gaihua could only say this helplessly.

However, from the beginning of the heavy rain until now, Lan Hua'er was always prepared in her heart that people from her family would come over to eat and drink, but she still didn't see anyone from her family coming.They discussed it in private, and they thought that the village where the family was located might be on a relatively high terrain, and it wasn't flooded like the villages outside, and they didn't reach the point of being homeless.

Moreover, although they don't know much about the people in their own family, those people in their own family don't seem to be willing to leave their property behind and leave.

Probably for them, the current weather is really difficult to travel far.Compared to running all the way from my home to Aozi Village to ask for help, it is better to stay at home all the time, and I have more hope of surviving.

Lan Hua'er didn't know if there was any food in the family's house, but when they came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, they had seen the pigs, cattle and sheep raised in the house.Even if the family didn't have any food in stock, those animals alone would be enough to feed the family for a long time.What's more, this is in the countryside, and no family has any food in it.

No one could tell whether it was worry or some other reason, and Lan Hua'er couldn't tell what was going on in her heart.

If you ask her, she definitely doesn't like people in my family.But no matter how much you don't like it, you can't say that you are still happy when you know that the other party is gone.But if you say you are worried, it seems that it is not enough.

The mood of changing flowers may be more complicated than that of orchids.

For Lan Hua'er, she can still treat the people in her family as more familiar strangers.Anyway, she is a time traveler, and she didn't live with her family when she was young.Changing flowers can't do that.The members of the family are indeed his relatives, and he still remembers how the members of the family treated him and his mother in the past.The only thing he can be thankful for now is that his family has not yet come to Aozi Village to seek help from Wufang.

Although no one can say for sure, people from my family have not come to the door. Is it because the life in the village over there can still live, or because they have no way to go to Aozi Village.

In such years, you can only take care of yourself first.

Lan Hua'er waited in fear at home for three or four days before finally waiting for Zang Lang to come back.I don't know where he went on the mountain. When he came back home, it was as if he came up after rolling in the mud, and it was muddy from head to toe.Because it has been raining outside, the mud on his body has no chance to dry and stick to his body wetly.

When he first came back, Lan Hua'er was startled, thinking that some savages ran down the mountain because they couldn't find food.

But he is indeed a good man. After washing off the mud on his body, Lan Hua'er realized that unlike the two brothers who came home, he basically had no wounds on his body, but was very dirty.

I don't know where he and Yan Dalang went around the mountain. When they came down, there were many animal corpses in the back basket. The animals were covered with many plant leaves. They said that they saw animals eating them when they were on the mountain. Those, he tasted, the leaves had a salty taste, and he didn't know what kind of plant it was, and it should be able to replace the role of salt in an emergency.

"I don't have the strength to eat without salt, maybe I can use it." Zang Lang explained the salty leaves to Lan Hua'er.

His harvest this time was beyond Lan Huaer's expectation.He even went to the col in the back mountain and cut some honey back, saying that he was afraid that the seasoning at home would not be enough.

Lan Hua'er was almost pleasantly surprised to see him being so careful.But looking at the tired expression on his face, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so I asked him, "Why are you still there? Isn't it so far away? Did you share some with A Lin and Ju Ju? "

"It's divided, and I sent some to A'Du. I left some in the nest for the bees to eat. That place is really good, and the wind can't get in. If the village is flooded, it's not bad to go there." Zang Lang's head was full of water droplets, and he buried his head under the cloth towel like a puppy to wipe off the water on his head.Although the expression on his face was a little tired, he still showed a simple and honest smile, "Hey, there should be enough to eat at home now. If the rain is less, I can go up the mountain again... "

Before he finished speaking, Lan Huaer quickly interrupted him, "You still want to run up the mountain, but you are not allowed to go anymore. Now that you have enough food at home, if you keep running up the mountain, if you really don't Just be careful. Just keep tight at home."

Zang Lang listened and nodded, but did not insist that he must go to the mountain.After all, the mountain road is indeed difficult to walk now, and the rocks are loose. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff.If he hadn't been worried about not having enough food at home, he wouldn't have insisted on running up the mountain.

There are not many animals alive on the mountain.

When Zang Lang and Yan Dalang went up the back mountain, they saw the corpses of some beasts that had been drowned in the flood soaking in the stream water that had grown in size by an unknown number of times.They didn't dare to touch those corpses, and they always felt that the corpses of those animals could no longer be eaten.

Although the carcasses of those animals seemed to be well preserved except that they were more swollen, from the appearance alone, it seemed that they could really be eaten directly.Later, when they went down the mountain, they saw some victims desperately picking up the animal carcasses in the stream, probably planning to move them back to eat.

Those animal carcasses looked good, but Zang Lang and Yan Alin once watched with their own eyes that after the victims disemboweled the animal carcasses they picked up, the bulging stomachs of the animal carcasses exploded, and the inside of the stomach exploded. The sticky blood was mixed with intestines and viscera, and exploded so high that some of it hung on the branches.

After the victims who had been hungry for a long time smelled the smell of rotten meat, they didn't feel sick at all. Instead, they jumped up with red eyes as if they had been given some kind of stimulant, and snatched the internal organs from the branches. Just put it in your mouth.

Both Yan Alin and Zang Lang were relatively cold-tempered, and they were afraid that the things they were carrying would be robbed, so they didn't go up to talk to the victims.In fact, Zang Lang turned around and told Lan Huaer that he was immediately taken aback by the crazy look of the victims.Even though he had been on the battlefield and killed people before, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he saw the starving and red-eyed expressions of those victims who didn't care.

"It seems that they will eat people when they see them. I think those people will eat people's corpses if they see them." When Zang Lang was talking to Lan Hua'er, he couldn't help sighing, and pulled Pulling Lan Hua'er's hand, she whispered, "Little lady, don't be afraid, I can protect you. But it looks really bad outside, and I don't know when... I will really eat people. Don't you It's really not safe to go outside."

It is probably useless to talk to them and those victims.Those victims have not eaten for a long time, and the place where they live is ventilated. Even after the number of victims near Aozi Village increased, many victims could not squeeze into the empty houses outside, so they could only continue to stay outside. It rained day and night in the open air.

Lan Huaer sat on the kang and listened quietly to Zang Lang talking about the disaster outside, but she couldn't help thinking more and further in her heart.

Dead bodies have already started to pile up outside. Although what I see now are only animal dead bodies, but——if it is not handled properly, the plague will probably not be far away.

If she could think of this question, Yang Langzhong could also think of it.

Yang Langzhong had foreseen the possibility of the plague as early as when the victims of the disaster in Aozi village began to wander outside.In particular, some victims revealed that they occasionally saw corpses on the road.

Yang Langzhong suggested early on that the village send people out to bury all the corpses on the road. Unfortunately, in this weather, no one is willing to go outside for fear of encountering danger on the road. Let it go.
