"Scram, scram!" If you don't leave now, I won't be polite anymore! "

"Uncle, I beg of you, please return it to us!" "Our family of eight only has this much food left!"

"Scram, scram! If you don't scram, I won't be polite to you!"

"Mother …" "Mother …"

"Daddy, Daddy …"

Men and women, young and old, thin and sallow, were dragging their families forward. No one knew what was in front of them or where they should go, so they followed the group as they walked. But... As the group continued to advance, the young and strong men started to fight over the weak, old, and disabled food …

Every day, there would be people starving to the point of being on the roadside, and every day, there would be people left behind.

Such a situation was happening all the time, and it was happening right beside him.

"Are you okay?"

When she saw a three to four-year-old child being pushed to the ground by a group of adults, yet not a single person was willing to step forward to help him, Jiu Niang could only watch helplessly as his skinny little hands bled. She couldn't bear to do so …

All along the way, she had been warning herself not to be soft-hearted, not to let her emotions get the better of her.

In this kind of situation, both men and women could no longer be considered as normal. A man in despair, like a hungry wolf, is terrible.

That day, when Jiu Niang and her two guards were preparing to return to their homes in the city, they received news that Situ Jin had attacked them en route. They didn't have time to worry about that and immediately rushed over to help. Originally, they weren't too far away from the city gate, so it wasn't a big deal for Jiu Niang to go back by herself, but … However, when she arrived at the city gate, she discovered that the city gate had already been sealed shut. No one could enter, nor could anyone come out … The city gates were tightly shut, and there were even heavy soldiers guarding the city walls. As long as anyone approached, they would immediately shoot and kill …

It wasn't that Nona hadn't tried to reason with those people, but … But when she saw so many people die under the city walls, she... She was truly shocked …

She had always known in her heart that in this day and age, human lives really meant nothing … But... However, this was the first time she had ever seen someone kill an innocent person so recklessly …

She was shocked and frightened.

Later on, she didn't know why she had followed these refugees.

By the time she realized it, she had already gone who knows how far.

"I... I... Woo woo … * Mother, Mother … "I want my mother …"

The little guy raised his head and stared blankly at Nona. He didn't know how much time had passed, but after seeing that he didn't recognize the person in front of him, he was so scared that he began to cry loudly.

As he cried, he continued to kick and beat Nona.

"Little friend, don't cry anymore. Look at your hand, it's bleeding. Help me bandage it."

Since the little guy was so thin, he probably hasn't eaten properly for a long time, and his hands are still bleeding non-stop. If this goes on, then he won't be able to do anything, Nona said kindly as she tried to coax him.

Unfortunately, the little guy was not only unwilling to cooperate but was also crying even louder.

"Wa, wa, wa …" Mother, Mother … Daddy … Daddy … I want daddy... Bad guy, bad guy... Get away from the bad guys! "

The little guy was always unwilling to cooperate. Seeing that the more he struggled, the more blood came out from his wounds, so Jiu Niang didn't dare to force him. She could only try to communicate with him, "Little friend, don't be afraid …"

Jiu Niang originally wanted to say, "Don't be scared little friend, big sister really isn't a bad person."

Big sister only saw that your hand was injured and wanted to bandage it for you …

But before she could finish …

"Bam!"

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and she fell to the ground. Before she could figure out what was going on, another kick was sent over. Nona was shocked, and she hurriedly turned her body to the side, barely dodging the kick …

That kick was clearly aimed at her head. If it had landed on her head, it would have been …

"Hey, you …"

"Humph!" "Where did this girl come from? How dare she bully my son?!"

On the way, Nona was very careful, only taking advantage of the late night to sneak into the space to rest for a bit and eat something whenever she wanted. For the rest of the people, she basically didn't have to say anything, and she didn't have to come in contact with anyone else.

"What?" Your son? Is he your son? "

She sat on the ground with one hand covering her chest. Jiu Niang's eyes were wide open as she looked at the man standing in front of her, then looked at the child in his arms.

He saw that the man looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. His skin was dark and it was obvious that he was someone who did manual labor.

However, he probably hadn't eaten his fill in a long time, which was why he looked somewhat emaciated. His face was also a little unsightly … There were even many wounds of different ages on his face. It was clear to see that these must have been left behind by the fights he had with others along the way …

As time passed and food snatching increased, Nona had long since gotten used to it.

In the beginning, she would stealthily get some food from the space and secretly give it to others, but … But then …

Fortunately, there was still Wang Er and pockmarks staying with Grandma at home. Moreover, the houses at home had been specially renovated by her, and in order to make it convenient for her to store the food, she had even built a small basement with a lot of food inside. It should be enough for the three of them to eat.

Since he couldn't go back, then he could only do it in small groups. The headquarters couldn't just wander around outside the city like that.

The soldiers seemed to have turned red from killing. Every time they saw a person, they would shoot an arrow. It wasn't just any person.

Fortunately, Nona met people from the two families who were travelling together, so she followed them on the road.

On the way, Jiu Niang would secretly get some food to carry around. When she saw that the two families were out of food, she would give them some of her food.

She had thought that since they were leaving together, it would be better for them to look out for each other. After all, she was just a little girl. If something really happened to her, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

But who knew …

Later on, those people thought that they had fallen asleep and stealthily stole their food, then they ran away for the entire night …

Fortunately, his face … If it wasn't for the fact that he was so ugly that both men and gods were angry at him, perhaps he wouldn't have been able to protect himself, right?

But...

However, she didn't expect that she would be unable to find trouble with him along the way … But she didn't expect such a thing to happen just by reaching out her hand to support a person. It was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"If it's not my son, then it's your son!"

The man stared gloomily at her, greed flashing through his eyes …

Along the way, he hadn't eaten a full meal for several days. He originally wanted to snatch some from others, but who would have thought that not only did he not get any food, he even got a body full of wounds.

'This little girl doesn't look too bad … '

He had heard people say that he was very hungry, and that the smell of the two-legged sheep was beautiful.

But...

His gaze fell on Nona's face …

Huge pustules, an indescribable nausea ….

The man couldn't help but frown as he quickly took two steps back while holding the child in his arms.

He thought to himself that it must not be some horrible infectious disease, and it would be troublesome if it got infected.

"You, hand over all the food!"

He had originally thought that he could at least eat stew, but … However, from the looks of it … I'm afraid there's something wrong with him... There was probably no hope left …

However … She couldn't eat meat, but she should still have some food, right?

The man glanced at Jiu Niang. His sinister gaze was filled with greed.

Along the way, although Jiu Niang and everyone else were starving, they could always sneak into the space at night to rest for a while and eat something. Although it was dirty and smelly, its spirit was still better than everyone else. The man could also see it. This state could only mean one thing, that Nona still had food to eat.

However …

He was indeed very smart. Jiu Niang did have food, and there were quite a few of them.

Unfortunately …

After last time's lesson, Nona had learned to be a good girl and obediently kept everything to eat in her space. She just didn't want to eat again when she found a chance to enter the space, in case she became soft-hearted and did something suicidal.

"No!"

After calming down for a while, her heart finally stopped hurting. Nona slowly stood up and patted off the dirt on her body. She lightly shook her head and rejected without any hesitation.

Alright, to be honest, it wasn't really a rejection. It was just the truth.

He really didn't have any food on him.

"Daddy …" Hungry, hungry … "So hungry …"

The skinny little guy tightly hugged the man's neck, his sunken eyes emitting a green light when they landed on Jiu Niang's body.

Although he was young, he had heard everything he should have heard and should have seen along the way …

So...

"Be good, Daddy will soon find food for you."

The man lightly patted the child's back. Hearing this, he coaxed her in a soft voice. It was no longer as fiendish as when he was talking to Nona.

However, the little guy had probably said these words too many times, and he was already in disbelief. Hearing his words, the little guy did not stop, and instead cried even louder, "No matter, no matter, Big Treasure is hungry, Big Treasure is hungry, Big Treasure wants meat, he wants meat …"

Although the child kept on shouting hysterically, his eyes never moved away from Nona.

The green light in her eyes gave Nona goosebumps.

At the same time, he understood a principle in his heart. As expected … Hunger can turn a person completely into a devil, even if it is a child who laughs like this.

"Good, good. Eat the meat, eat the meat …"

The man hugged his child, his gaze landing on Jiu Niang. His brows were knitted tightly, and then …

As if he had made up his mind, he suddenly grabbed Nona's arm and shouted, "Two-legged sheep, two-legged sheep, fresh two-legged sheep! Who wants to trade!"

Hearing the shout, the people who were heading forward numbly stopped in their tracks. Their gazes fell on the man and the woman one by one.

Along the way, it was not as if they had never eaten before, but everyone had come in secret and no one wanted to reveal it to the public. After all, it was not something glorious.

But this person …

such a loud and open cry...

"You … Let me go! "Are you sick? It's not like I know you!"

If Jiu Niang had felt that the child's gaze was terrifying just now, then now …

Now she finally understood. It seemed that this person was planning to eat her.
