The whole scene lasted until they felt that their stomachs were no longer so empty that even stones could be digested, and then they stopped.
He took out the water bag he carried with him, opened the cork and poured it into his mouth to moisturize his mouth which was dry and bitter from eating weeds and bark.
Fang Yu is also among them.
He later joined in the beastly carnival.
No one can stay out of this famine.
In order to satisfy the terrible hunger of Iron Stomach, Fang Yu also tried the taste of tree bark.
The bitter and sticky juice, coupled with the taste like chewing hay or leather straps, made Fang Yu feel a surge of stomach acid when she recalled it.
In fact, if there hadn't been this group of fleeing people, Fang Yu and the others would have been more calm.
The correct way to eat bark is to chop the bark core into pieces, then mix it with rice and eat it together.
Sawdust porridge, this is a traditional dish of the poor in a certain western country in the real world in the Middle Ages.
If you eat like this, you will be full and your bowel movements will be smoother and more natural.
If they eat like Fang Yu and others.
Of course, there is a high probability that it cannot be pulled out.
However, there is also good news.
That is, after this attempt, Fang Yu discovered that his iron stomach seemed to be able to digest even tree bark...
After the bark fell into his stomach, Fang Yu could feel his iron stomach moving continuously, decomposing and digesting the bark he had eaten.
The crazy hunger gradually eased during digestion.
After Fang Sanduo and the others had filled their stomachs and absorbed enough water, their originally irrational minds found themselves again.
The crazy feeling just now is still vivid in my mind.
Some people still have a dull sore throat from swallowing the bark raw.
"...Are we going to die?"
While everyone was still silent, Erbao suddenly spoke.
The crowd remained silent for a while.
But Fang Yu could clearly feel that the aura of the people around him had dropped again.
Even Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei had confusion in their eyes.
Fang Sanduo's skin color has long been dark and yellow, and Huang Mei's hair is as dry as weeds. Both of them have crazy hair loss due to lack of nutrition. Their sparse hairstyle and dark and dry skin make them look like crazy beggars.
On the contrary, because Fang Yu had energy support, although he looked very miserable on the outside, after all, he had not taken a shower for more than a month, in fact, after washing, his body did not change much.
Of course, it's a bit darker.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Next, no one spoke, but Erbao's previous words still echoed in everyone's minds.
This time the rest took an extra long time.
They stayed in the woods from afternoon to night!
Because the main component of tree bark is fiber, and their stomachs are not like Fang Yu's, which can also digest tree bark.
Therefore, after eating the bark, their stomachs will feel full for a long time, but this is just a feeling of fullness. Inability to digest means no nutritional supply.
Their health will become worse and worse as a result, and the more bark they eat, the harder it will be to expel it, and some may even become blocked directly in the large intestine.
If you can't poop it out, you have to continue eating as soon as your stomach is empty.
Repeating this process until the large intestine is full and the stomach is occupied, death is not far away.
At night, because it was already dark, even if Fang Yu wanted to continue on her way, she could not do so at this time.
The feeling of fullness in the stomach gave Erniu and the others the illusion that they had eaten and drank enough.
This illusion caused the instinctive laziness they had suppressed before due to food issues to burst out.
Maybe it's because I'm giving up on myself, or maybe I just want to relax.
Since the people in the woods lay down in the afternoon, basically everyone has not moved or even turned over. They are all lying on the ground as if they are dead, with their lower abdomens slightly bulging and their breathing weak.
Fang Yu leaned against the tree and looked at Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei, who were leaning against each other.
If Fang Sanduo could open his eyes and look at Fang Yu now, he would find that Fang Yu is fully armed at this time.
He had rubbed all the mud off his body, was wearing linen clothes, and had a hooded shawl he had modified by himself.
Fang Yu pulled this hood and shawl from a dead person on the road.
It's not just him. Along the way, as long as there is a person who fails to hold up and falls, no matter if he is dead or not, as soon as he falls, a bunch of people will spontaneously surround him.
These people would look at him silently.
And he also looks at the people around him.
The difference is that the people around him look at him with indifference.
The people who fell on the ground looked at them with helpless, desperate, and pleading eyes.
But no matter what his eyes looked like and how he begged, the people around him remained indifferent.
Until about a minute passed, as long as no one came to help him up, the people around him would come forward...
Strip him naked and take everything away.
Then he lay naked on the dry and cracked ground, being basked in the sun in despair, and then he closed his eyes in pain but with a smile, and slowly died in anxiety, fear, and strange pleasure.
Before he died, the last picture flashed through his mind, and this picture was very familiar to him.
In the picture, there are also a bunch of people surrounding one person, but the person in the middle is not him.
After the familiar waiting scene, people around him rushed forward. At that moment, he saw himself...
He himself stood in the middle of the crowd, followed the people around him and pulled the clothes of the middle man.
His eyes at that time were as indifferent as the one he had just seen, but with a hint of greed...
This process keeps happening on the way to escape, in a constant cycle, and over and over again.
Along the way, Fang Yu had seen countless corpses that had been exposed to the sun and turned into skin-like bones.
These corpses were all naked. When they died, they had been starved to death. After being exposed to the sun, the skin on their bodies was so burned that it shrank directly on the bones.
It's like a skeleton covered in skin.
The most disgusting thing is that after death, the intestines and stomach in the stomach swell due to high temperature.
Most of the corpses had bellies as distended as balloons.
Just like a pregnant woman.
However, when the belly is completely expanded to the limit, it will burst like a balloon!
The putrid gas inside will spurt out, polluting the air around the entire corpse.
Along the way, everyone must hold their breath while passing through such a corpse with its belly exploded. Otherwise, the smell is enough to make people dizzy.
Fang Yu wore a hooded sackcloth over her shoulders, and a pair of thick-soled hemp shoes snatched from a corpse on her feet. Even the worn-out belt around her waist had been replaced with new ones.
Holding a hatchet in his hand, he leaned against the tree and looked at his uncle and aunt with complicated expressions.
Fang Yu saw everything that happened during the day today.
He understood that this team was basically useless.
Everyone's morale collapsed too quickly.
Especially after Old Man Cao died.
After all, Old Man Cao was not lucky enough to escape this famine.
His life is still not tough enough.
Old age and infirmity were his inevitable death.
Although he has rich experience, he is just a dying old man now.
Even if he stayed well in Fangjiacun, he wouldn't have long to live.
Now I am fleeing the famine. The first half of the month was fine. But in the second half of the month, when everyone could only eat grains and rice, they traveled long distances and were old and frail. In the early morning of the twentieth day, Erniu found that he could not get up.
When he went over and took a look, he found old man Cao lying on the ground with purple lips and weak energy.
He reached out and touched his forehead.
Hot to the touch.
He has a high fever.
Even though Old Man Cao is still angry at this time, everyone understands that this energy is only left for today.
He has no relatives or friends, and no one in the team is willing to take care of such a burden.
There is no ability either.
No matter how thin Old Man Cao is, he still weighs dozens of kilograms. No one can choose to carry or drag him in this situation.
So, Old Man Cao was left halfway.
The only kindness Er Niu and the others did was to move him to the foot of a hillside so that he could be exposed to the sun later.
No one took off his clothes.
His experience along the way has indeed brought a lot of benefits to everyone and saved many detours, so everyone is willing to give him the final dignity.
After the death of Old Man Cao, the team was inevitably a little confused without a guide, and Fang Yu couldn't help it.
Because he really has no experience in this area.
Not to mention, he has little prestige and cannot convince everyone.
Just like today's outbreak, he had no ability to stop it.
It's easy for him to kill people, but not so easy to save people.
Whether it is the emergence of side missions or the emotional outburst caused by the food shortage crisis in the team, it means that the team is about to be on the verge of collapse.
If you continue to go with them, Fang Yu's chance of survival will only become smaller and smaller.
I have to go now……
Fang Yu said this to herself in her heart.
And his body does the same.
He stood up.
Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei still cuddled against each other and leaned against the tree.
Fang Yu stood and took a few steps forward, but stopped again.
It has been several worlds, and Fang Yu's character has been tempered for a long time. As a player, he knows exactly what is the most advantageous choice for him.
Although he received a lot of care from Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei during this period, this was arranged by the system. For him, it was just a novice protection, but once the novice protection passed, he had to make a choice.
But now, it is obvious that the novice protection has passed, and the next side mission also indicates that there will be other dangers in Chen Yang. He must now find more food to better survive this crisis, so he must leave.
Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei are just part of their novice plot. They are not Tan Wanjun, Wu Wen, or even Tang Lao.
They don't have any other value, so, I should leave.
Fang Yu explained this to herself.
However, maybe because he was too weak, he found that his feet were a little weak and he couldn't lift them up.
Abruptly, Fang Yu suddenly felt someone move behind him, and the location seemed to be where Fang Sanduo was.
Fang Yu turned around, only to find that Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei were still cuddling together behind them, seemingly unmoving.
No... Fang Sanduo's head hung down...
Before, his head was resting on the top of Huang Mei's head, but this time, his head was lowered towards his chest.
Fang Yu was silent.
Turning around again, he walked forward a few steps normally and came to the edge of the woods. Then, he turned around again, restrained his steps, took a turn and returned to the woods again. Only this time, he came to Fang San
The backside of many is hidden in the shadows.
When he came here, he could see clearly with his eyes. In the darkness, Fang Sanduo had been looking ahead, as if observing whether Fang Yu had left.
"Goudan...? Goudan??"
Fang Sanduo called out twice weakly, but no one responded to him.
As if it was confirmed that Fang Yu was gone, Fang Sanduo's shoulders, which were still slightly upright, collapsed, and then began to rise and fall slightly, and undetectable sobbing sounded in the darkness.
If it weren't for the silence in the forest and Fang Yu's five senses being very sharp, ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect these sounds at all.
Fang Sanduo's actions finally woke up Huang Mei next to him.
I saw Huang Mei speaking to Fang Sanduo in a weak and panic tone.
"Master..., what's wrong with you? Why are you crying..."
As she spoke, Huang Mei's hands unconsciously groped to the side.
While touching, she murmured.
"Goudan... Goudan... Goudan?"
The first two sounds were relatively low, but the latter sounds were unconsciously raised a bit.
Fang Sanduo quickly covered her mouth and drank in a low voice.
"It's late at night, and there are ghosts calling! Don't wake them up!"
Huang Mei nodded in agreement, and then Fang Sanduo let go of her hand.
As soon as he let go, Huang Mei immediately rushed towards the place where Fang Yu was originally and began to explore. People at this time generally have night blindness. Fang Sanduo couldn't actually see it at the time, but he could feel that Fang Yu seemed to be in front.
Then he fumbled around for a while before confirming that Fang Yu was gone.
Especially after hearing Fang Yu's footsteps leaving.
"Master, Goudan is gone! Goudan is gone!! Where has Goudan gone? Where has my Goudan gone?!"
As Huang Mei asked, tears of worry flowed down her face. She was obviously so thin that she had lost her appearance, but her tears were still falling...
Huang Mei's voice was very quiet, but her tone was desperate and uneasy, like a mother who had lost her child.
Even though Fang Yu is not her biological child.
"Stop crying, you bitches, Goudan... is gone!"
Fang Sanduo had stopped crying when Huang Mei woke up. Now that Huang Mei was crying, his suppressed emotions were in danger of bursting again, which made him have to stop crying.
"Left? Why did he leave? How could this kid leave? How can he survive outside like this? Master, why didn't you stop him! Why did you let him go?!"
Huang Mei's tone was sad and urgent, and she was very puzzled that Fang Sanduo asked Fang Yu to leave.
"You crybaby, what do you, a woman, know! Goudan... Goudan can only live if he leaves!"
Fang Sanduo said to Huang Mei.
"How can he live without him? He is still just a child..."
"Enough!"
Fang Sanduo's voice suddenly became louder.
The raised tone made some of the corpses lying in the woods turn over in annoyance.
It was quiet in the woods.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of turning over that Fang Sanduo continued to speak in a low voice.
"Goudan... Goudan has changed, haven't you noticed?"
"My side Sanduo is uneducated, but I can feel that Goudan seems to have become smarter and more powerful."
"Although he has been hiding it, I can feel the difference in him."
Fang Sanduo's tone was a bit complicated.
Fang Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, felt her heart skip a beat.
"So what if he's changed? I've confirmed that he is just a dog, and he has been protecting us all the way. Don't you know?"
"I don't care if he has changed or not, Goudan is Goudan... Wu... Wu... I'm useless. It won't be enough if I give birth to a child. If I can't give you an heir, Wuwu... Goudan is my flesh and blood."
...Ugh...he is a bitch, as long as he recognizes me as aunt, he will be my bitch..."
Huang Mei cried again, and said these words intermittently while crying.
"Of course I know Goudan is Goudan!"
Fang Sanduo protected Huang Mei, gently caressed her back with his hands, and spoke softly.
"I know you are reluctant to let go...but...Goudan is different. Now that he is here, he will only be dragged down by the two of us. He wants to leave...he must leave...so that he can live and live better."
Fang Sanduo comforted his crying wife, and his tone became more somber.
Huang Mei cried for a while, and then asked softly and weakly with a tearful voice.
"Goudan... Goudan will really live, and will he live better?"
"Yes, he will live, and he will definitely live a better life."
Fang Sanduo said with certainty, not only trying to convince Huang Mei, but also convincing himself.
He knew that he and Huang Mei couldn't last much longer. If Goudan stayed with him, they wouldn't be able to escape and die together. It was better to leave and try.
Based on his observations during this period, the dog's eggs have increased a lot, and he should be able to survive.
A person, at least he has no burden.
"But...Sanduo...I miss Goudan...I want what to do with him?..."
Huang Mei cried again, she was already crying a little weakly.
Fang Sanduo hugged Huang Mei tightly and kept stroking her head, as if comforting a little girl, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Ah Mei...Although Goudan has left, he will always be by our side. Don't you remember him in your heart? As long as we don't forget, he will always be there."
"He can only live if he leaves. You must also want him to live, right?"
Fang Sanduo patted Huang Mei's back, and Huang Mei's body gradually relaxed.
"Well, Sanduo... Goudan... Goudan has always been there... I remember... I will remember... let him go, I want him to live..."
Huang Mei stopped crying, and her tone revealed an ardent expectation.
Fang Sanduo continued to hold Huang Mei.
Fang Yu's departure seemed to make the two of them look away a lot.
The suppressed emotions and threats of death caused by the crowd during the day seemed to no longer frighten them now.
They began to feel relieved.
As long as Goudan is not around, he has a chance to live.
They would rather not see Goudan than watch Goudan die in front of them, or let Goudan watch them die.
Fang Sanduo thought so.
In the shadow, Fang Yu stood motionless, quietly watching the two people in front of her, cuddling together as before, and then watching them fall asleep again...

I'm in Shanghai. I just got off the plane? I finally came back from a business trip. This chapter was coded on the plane and I posted it as soon as I got off the plane. I was so tired that I went back to wash up and then went to bed. I wish everyone in the world peace and happiness~
