different devil life

"Hey, there are fewer and fewer grass roots now, so can we only gnaw on the bark?"

To be honest, Su Xiaolan doesn't like the smell of the bark, especially after eating the bark every time, the younger brother will have a stomachache and cry so much that now the younger brother is crying when he sees the bark.

Naturally, she also doesn't like to chew bark. Every time she eats it, her stomach feels bloated and she can't defecate. Over time, she knows that eating bark is not good for people.

These days, the price of food on the street has been rising, so that the broken silver stolen by Wang Zhong is used up very quickly.

Now Wang Zhong is also very helpless, these days he went to several families on the street, but the money was well hidden, it was hard to find.

At this time, Su Xiaolan looked up at the sky: "Little mouse, the sun is going to set soon, but I didn't find grass roots today, what should I do?"

"Sister, I'm hungry."

Su Xiaoqiang ran over barefoot and said while clutching his stomach.

"Isn't there still some vegetable soup at home?"

"I finished eating, but I'm still hungry."

"Hey…………"

Su Xiaolan grabbed a small handful of grass roots and said, "I'll cook it for you when I go back."

"Ah."

Su Xiaolan took her younger brother's hand and walked towards home.

After diligently cooking the meal, Su Xiaolan looked at the sky outside, the sun had already set, but for some reason today, her parents hadn't come back yet.

"Sister, I'm hungry." Su Xiaoqiang said while rubbing his stomach.

"Hey, you should eat first."

Su Xiaolan served a bowl of grass root soup for her younger brother. After eating, Su Xiaoqiang rubbed her eyes, and climbed onto the bed to rest.

Gululu......

At this time, Su Xiaolan's stomach also growled.

She already ate little, plus she worked a lot, so she was inevitably very hungry.

But even so, she would insist on waiting for her parents to come home.

But I waited and waited, and my parents haven't come back yet.

Wang Zhong reckoned that it should be about 8 or 9 o'clock at this time, and the couple must be back before 7 o'clock usually.

But today, what is going on?

For a moment, Wang Zhong had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He returned to the rat's den, the mother mouse greeted Wang Zhong with a few little mice, eating the wolf meat dragged into the cave.

The recent severe drought has caused many people to die of hunger and thirst, and the animals in the forest are actually having a hard time. No, this wolf died of thirst because of lack of water.

"Third, do you want some? There's still a lot of meat." Mother Mouse asked Wang Zhong, because Wang Zhong was born the third, so now everyone calls him the third.

"Ah."

Wang Zhong ate a few mouthfuls casually, and then went out of the cave to have a look.

To our disappointment, Su Wu and his wife haven't come back yet.

This waited until midnight.

In the dark room, no one was there, Su Xiaolan sat on the table, feeling darkness, loneliness, cold, hunger, and negative emotions.

Suddenly she sobbed.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows."

The little girl seemed to feel a crisis.

At this time, if the parents still haven't come back, something must have happened.

"Woooo..."

Su Xiaolan wiped her tears, and in the darkness, a little furry mouse crawled onto her lap.

This mouse is naturally Wang Zhong.

Seeing Su Xiaolan crying, he came over to comfort her.

"Little mouse, why haven't my parents come back?"

Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, what could he say?Obviously, something happened to Su Xiaolan's parents.

At this time, Wang Zhong himself was also very anxious. Su Xiaolan was still too young, and she had a younger brother with her. To be honest, both her parents had graduated from the teacher, so it was troublesome!

Maybe because she was tired from crying, Su Xiaolan fell asleep on the table.

"This child is not afraid of catching a cold!"

Wang Zhong jumped onto the table, and silently recited the magic formula, a trace of evil spirit gradually permeated the air.

This evil spirit wanted to cover Su Xiaolan's body and make Su Xiaolan feel warmer.

But as soon as the evil spirit diffused out, Wang Zhong felt weak and weak.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

The training time is really too short, and it is a mouse that is not blessed with a genius physique, so the evil spirit is very weak.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Zhong poured out the monster energy with all his strength, this time the amount of monster energy was very small, like silk, giving Su Xiaolan a little warmth.

Su Xiaolan slept soundly and warmly, and before she knew it, it was dawn.

"Father, mother, woo woo, don't leave me, don't..."

In a daze, Su Xiaolan closed her eyes and talked in her sleep. In the dream, her parents were caught and beaten to death by hungry refugees on the way back.

She cried and begged those people not to beat them. She could take out all the food in the house, but the refugees didn't listen and beat them desperately.

In this way, her parents were beaten to death.

"Father, mother..."

Su Xiaolan was startled and woke up from her sleep.

The numbness in her arms made her very uncomfortable.

Rubbing her stomach, although she didn't eat last night, but after one night, because she was too hungry, she was not hungry at this time, but she was weak.

"Squeaky..."

Wang Zhong yelled at her twice, pushed the wild grass root soup on the table, and let her eat.

Su Xiaolan understood, nodded and ate.

At this time, she suddenly thought of something and turned around quickly.

The parents' hut was empty.

They didn't come home all night last night.

Teng Teng Teng......

At this moment, there were messy footsteps at the door.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan..."

The voice belonged to the village chief. The village chief was quite old, in his 50s, but he walked very fast. He rushed in and shouted, "Xiao Lan, your parents, something happened!"

really!

Wang Zhong hid on the edge of the stove, so he was not seen by the village chief.

With tears in her eyes, Su Xiaolan said, "My parents, what's wrong?"

"An accident happened at the quarry, and the stone fell down."

"Woooooooo..."

"Your father... Hey, your mother is still there now, by the way, where is your brother?"

"My elder brother has gone to work in the county."

"Do you know where he is?"

Su Xiaolan shook her head.

"Forget it, your mother said, let you take care of your younger brother, don't run around, she will come back after doing something good."

The village chief said, gave Su Xiaolan a gold ingot, and sighed: "This is your father's funeral expenses, hey..."

After a few words of advice, the village chief left here.

"My father is gone..."

Su Xiaolan burst into tears.

Su Xiaoqiang rubbed his eyes and squatted in front of Su Xiaolan in a daze. He was young and still didn't understand the meaning of what Su Xiaolan said, but when he saw Su Xiaolan crying, he couldn't help crying too.

In this way, the siblings burst into tears.

"Hey, it's really leaking in the house and it's raining at night. I never thought that Su Xiaolan's father died so early."

Seeing how the siblings were crying bitterly, Wang Zhong couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, the life of this family was already so difficult, and once the mainstay died, what would they do in the future?

That night, the men in the village helped carry the stretcher and returned with Su Wu's body.

Before reaching the door, Zhou Cui's cry was heard: "Father, what should I do if you leave, ah, what should I do."

It really makes the listener cry when he hears it.

Under Su Xiaolan's hand, Su Xiaoqiang chased him out of the house.

Su Wu died miserably, a big hole was punched in his head by the falling stone, he should have died on the spot.

One day later, Zhou Cui simply buried Su Wu on the back mountain, and a tombstone was erected on it: Su Wu's Tomb.

This time Su Wu died, and only one gold ingot was given over there. Although Zhou Cui wanted to make more points, but the other party had a lot of people, how could she, a little girl, deal with it?

What made Zhou Cui even more helpless was that after Su Wu died, she was no longer wanted to work as a woman, and their family lost their income.

Chapter 522 Can Walk Upright

Fortunately, the family recently saved a fortune.

Although she couldn't grow land anymore, Zhou Cui was quite capable. She used the money to buy some grain seeds.

It has finally turned cloudy these days, and there is a light rain in the sky, which makes many people weep with joy and start to grow food.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Qiang, although your father is gone, he will bless us in the sky. Now that it's raining, our family can start farming tomorrow."

Holding her youngest son Su Xiaoqiang in her arms, Zhou Cui looked forward to it, and continued: "Your elder brother is doing a good job outside, and he will be back tomorrow. I will give you delicious food then."

Su Xiaolan sat on a small stool, held her chin and said, "Many children in the village have disappeared."

"Hey……"

Zhou Cui sighed again.

In this drought, not only children disappeared, but many adults were starved to death. If their family did not rely on eating grass roots and digging bark to eat, they would have starved to death.

………………

While they were moaning, Wang Zhong had been practicing in the rat's den these days.

As the mice all grew up, the other mice settled in their own nests, and even the mother mouse found a new nest, only Wang Zhong still lived here.

A demonic aura filled his body, and he swallowed the spiritual water in his mouth. In an instant, he felt a wonderful chemical reaction between his body and the spiritual water, and endless power poured into his limbs Baike.

"Breakthrough!"

Wang Zhong's eyes were fixed, and he stood up suddenly, but he forgot that this is a mouse hole, if he stood up, he would knock his head.

"Ouch!"

Sure enough, Wang Zhong kowtowed, the pain made him grin his teeth, but soon, he became excited.

I can walk upright by myself, although the shape is still just like a mouse, but this is a good start.
