Mrs. Wang had just replaced the second boy in the car, and got off the car to walk for a while with Si Sheng and the others.

Suxue held Mrs. Wang's arm and walked silently beside Si Sheng and Wang Zeran.

A pair of mother and child on the roadside caught Suxue's attention. The woman was lying on the ground with her skinny chest exposed. Next to her was a baby sitting on the woman's withered chest, sucking milk. After taking two sips, he probably couldn't get any milk, so he

She raised her head and cried loudly. The woman lying down remained motionless, but looked at the child with her open eyes full of nostalgia.

Suxue turned her head away and couldn't bear to look anymore. She knew that this woman might be dead, and the child wouldn't live long after her mother left.

But she had no way to help this poor child. No matter how many punishment messages the space gave her, she knew rationally that she had no ability to save this little life.

In the year of famine, when human lives were like ants, Suxue clenched her fists.

Feeling Suxue's trembling, Mrs. Wang sighed inwardly. She was a mother and a grandmother, and she couldn't bear to see such a scene. She also looked away and said in a low voice: "How can a child without a mother survive?

ah!"

After saying this, what was Mrs. Wang thinking? She looked at Suxue beside her. She was also a child without a mother. Alas, she couldn't blame the fourth child for doting on his daughter.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Si Sheng and said that when she arrived in the county town, she had to find a way to find another wife for her fourth son.

Si Sheng didn't know what Mrs. Wang was thinking. He was looking at two men with bloated bellies lying on the roadside with painful expressions.

Many of the refugee children I saw along the way were skinny and skinny, with bloated bellies. This was a sign of malnutrition, but it was rare to see adults with bloated bellies like this.

Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's probably because Guanyin has eaten too much."

Suxue was curious, "Nai, what is Guanyin soil?"

"It's a kind of whitish soil under the wall. People can feel full after eating it, but they have to drink water constantly, and it's difficult to pull it out. If you eat too much, your stomach will become bloated like this. There used to be people in the village.

I suffocated myself to death after eating too much Guanyin soil."

What is the difference between this and drinking poison to quench thirst? This person must be very hungry and just wants to be full for a while.

That night, six families rested in front of an abandoned earth temple.

The Earth Temple was built next to a small mound. It only had three small rooms, but it was already dilapidated and crumbling. There was a flat field in front of the temple, which was most suitable for camping.

What's rare is that there is a well next to the venue. Although the water in the well is very shallow, it can still draw half a bucket of water at a time.

The men checked the inside and outside of the Tutu Temple to make sure that no one lived here and there were no deserters. Then teams from six families came over one after another and stopped in the field in front of the temple.

Suxue and Sisheng took the opportunity to go to the space to eat something first. Contrary to Suxue's expectation, the space did not give any punishment information today.

After the two of them came back from a full meal, the Ye family also had dinner. They had cabbage soup and dry food tonight.

Suxue took a sip of cabbage soup, smacked her mouth and said uncertainly: "Dad, why do I taste this soup?"

Si Sheng picked up the bowl and took a sip, "It tastes a little different."

Wang Zeran had already drank half the bowl and said without raising his head: "The cabbage soup tasted both times."

Ge Shi smiled sheepishly and said: "The cabbage is a bit rotten. When making the soup, I already picked off all the badly rotten leaves."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Our family still has some cabbage soup to drink, but other families have long been out of food. Alas, our family only has this last piece of cabbage left. After eating it today, we can only drink it in the future."

It’s water.”

Hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Suxue couldn't bear to drink the cabbage soup anymore. Seeing that Yongan could drink it enthusiastically, she gave him all the cabbage in her bowl. There were cucumbers and tomatoes in the space, so she had no shortage of vegetables.

Si Sheng also gave his soup bowl to Wang Zeran.

After eating, Si Sheng and Niu Zhixin went to check the luggage and animals as usual. When they came back, they saw that the six family members had already lied down, and only the two men in charge of the watch were yawning and walking back and forth.

Si Sheng also felt very sleepy, so he went to bed early and closed his eyes to sleep.

Si Sheng was awakened by the braying of cows. He opened his eyes and saw that it was still dark, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

"Moo——" Another cow brayed. Cows usually don't bray at night. What's going on tonight?

Si Sheng leaned over and turned around to look, and saw a cow lying next to the herd of cattle, lying at the exit of the field with its head raised and still braying.

Looking again, I found that there was a person in front of the cow struggling to pull the reins, and there was another person behind the cow spanking the cow's butt, pushing the cow up and walking, but the cow just stayed in place and refused to move.

It was late at night, what were the people in the security team doing with the cow? Si Sheng grunted and lay down again.

No, these two people are not from the security team, they are simply strangers. Si Sheng reacted and sat up suddenly, "Who are they?"

Suxue was also woken up. She sat up and rubbed her eyes and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

When the two men heard the shouting and saw more than one person waking up, they were so frightened that they dropped the reins and ran away.

"Someone stole the cow." Si Sheng came to his senses completely and jumped up to chase after him.

Suxue hurriedly shouted: "Dad, ask someone to chase him together."

Si Sheng looked around and saw that no one was woken up by such a big commotion except him and Suxue. Si Sheng felt something was wrong and did not bother to chase the cattle thief. He took a wooden stick and knocked it next to the fire.

The big iron pot on the stove goes "dang dang dang, dang dang dang."

Si Sheng was knocking and shouting: "Someone is stealing cattle, get up quickly, get up quickly, someone is stealing cattle."

After knocking for a long time and still no one woke up, Si Sheng's heart sank.

Suxue couldn't wake up Yongan beside her, and her heart felt cold. She tried Yongan's breath with trembling hands. She felt a breeze blowing on her hands, and Suxue's heart relaxed a little. She closed her eyes and felt deeply.

Taking a breath, she shook Mrs. Wang's arm vigorously, "Milk, breast, wake up, wake up."

Si Sheng stopped knocking on the pot and went to see Wang Zeran, Da Sheng, and Er Sheng. Hearing that they were all snoring and sleeping deeply, they couldn't wake up, so he said to Suxue: "Stop shaking, I guess."

He was drugged."

Suxue thought of the smelly cabbage soup she drank for dinner, "Was the medicine put in the water?"

Only she and Si Sheng didn't take a few sips of the soup, nor did they drink the water here. They were the only two people who didn't get infected. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the water here.

Si Sheng also figured out the connection and nodded: "Most likely."

Si Sheng scooped up the water from the pot and poured it on Da Sheng's face. Da Sheng suddenly woke up and said angrily: "Si Sheng, what are you doing?"

Si Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and went to scoop up water again, preparing to pour it over Er Sheng, "Brother, we are drugged, and someone wants to steal our cattle."

When Da Sheng heard that someone was stealing cattle, he rushed to see the cattle.

Suxue followed suit and, together with Si Sheng, splashed water to wake up the people around her.

All six families were soon woken up.

"Our mule is lost." Da Sheng's shout came from the livestock area outside the camp.
