In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

After an unknown amount of time, the insect finally crawled to Uncle Zhong's forearm. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like it was going to be done.

Just when the insect was about to crawl to the wound on the palm of his hand, Shen Nan subconsciously turned his face away, not daring to look again.

Xiao Ye was not afraid and stared at Xu Qi's movements.

I saw Xu Qi reaching out to Uncle Zhong's palm, grabbing the black-red insect quickly and accurately, and wrapping it with a piece of cotyledon leaf.

As soon as the bug smelled the scent of smoked cotyledons, it immediately made a shrill cry and squirmed crazily in Xu Qi's hand.

Shen Nan turned her head in surprise and saw this scene. She said, "Aren't you afraid that it will get into your hands?"

Xu Qi shook his head, not afraid, the smell of smoked cotyledons is on my hands. It seems to be very tormented, but in fact it is similar to a drunkard. "As she said that, she threw the bug into the brazier.

When the insect came into contact with the hot firewood, it was immediately burned and curled up into a ball, making a harsh hissing sound. After a while, the thick layer of fat on its body melted away, revealing the white and yellow muscles inside.

Shen Nan couldn't help swallowing, resisting the urge to vomit, and moved his eyes elsewhere.

After checking Uncle Zhong to make sure he was fine, Xu Qi greeted several people out of the room.

Aunt Cuihua saw a few people approaching and hurriedly greeted them. She rubbed her hands unconsciously. Xu Qi smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. The bugs have been removed from Uncle's body. He just needs to take these medicines. From now on, Just take good care of it."

"But his body has been in depletion for a long time. I'm afraid it will take half a year to recover." Xu Qi added.

"It's okay, it's okay. It'll be fine once the disease is cured." Aunt Cuihua's worried heart finally fell, and she gratefully said to Xu Qi, "Thank you so much, girl."

"Auntie, you're welcome. I always follow the lady's orders."

"Yeah, Erya, your family is our savior. Auntie will never forget it. This is all the money in the family. Auntie will make up for the rest slowly." Aunt Cuihua quickly took out a money bag and took it out. Five taels of silver.

"No way, auntie, how can a fellow countryman need so much money?"

"Just keep it. Lin Zhong has been ill for more than two years and has spent a lot of money. There has been no improvement at all. Now that you have cured him, I am willing to give you any money." After saying that, Aunt Cuihua said Put all the money into Shen Nan's hands.

Seeing her firm attitude, Shen Nan put it away. Seeing this, Aunt Cuihua pulled a few people to the kitchen house and invited them to eat.

"Auntie, I want to wash my hands." Xu Qi said.

Aunt Cuihua patted her head and said regretfully: "Look at me, why did I forget this? Come on, I've boiled the hot water and I'll go scoop it out."

After washing their hands, everyone sat at the table and looked at the fragrant pig's trotters and stir-fried vegetables in the basin. What happened just now was forgotten long ago.

After dinner, Aunt Cuihua insisted on putting the pig's trotter into Xiaoye's hands, saying that she wanted to repay them. Xiaoye refused to accept it, so Aunt Cuihua forced it on him.

Xu Qi smiled and said, "Auntie, you are too polite."

"Hey, girl, this should be what Auntie said. Auntie, thank you for the medicine and cured my man." Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.

Shen Nan glanced at the heavy pig's trotters in Xiaoye's hand and said, "Thank you very much, auntie. I'll take it home and let my mother stew the radishes and eat them dry."

"Okay, okay, aunt will take you back." Aunt Cuihua took the hoe behind the door and wanted to take a few people out.

Shen Nan waved his hand, "Auntie, don't send it away. Hurry up and close the door. We can go back by ourselves."

"It's impossible. You took such a big risk to go down the mountain. How could I..." Before Aunt Cuihua finished speaking, several people had already gone out and closed the door from the outside.

"Auntie, please don't refuse. We young people can run fast. You can stay and take care of Uncle Zhong. We are going back." Shen Nan advised.

Aunt Cuihua couldn't resist, so she had to stay.

After wandering around the village for a few times, there was indeed no danger. Shen Nan simply took a few people to Li Zheng's house.

At this time, the Li Zheng family was sawing wood to make furniture. When they heard the sound, they immediately walked to the door. After hearing that it was them, they opened the door.

"Erya, why are you down here?" Li Zheng asked, and his three sons also looked at them curiously.

"It's like this. Uncle Zhong's condition is serious. Aunt Cuihua came to Xiaoqi for treatment. We sent her down."

"Oh, that's it. How's Ah Zhong doing?" Li Zheng asked.

"It's already fine. I think I'll wake up at night."

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Uncle, are you opening the cabinet?" Xu Qi praised, but he didn't expect that the skills of these young people were quite good.

"Haha, that's right. I have nothing to do, so I might as well take a few boys to the courtyard to kill time."

"Yes." Shen Nan nodded and asked, "Uncle, is there anything strange in the village during this time?"

Li Zheng shook his head, "There has been nothing major. Even the two dead bodies have disappeared in the past few days. I don't know where they went."

"People in the village can't stand idle. In the past few days, several families have carried benches to the dam to chat." Li Zheng shook his head.

Shen Nan looked solemn, "Uncle, you'd better warn everyone and try not to go out. This matter is not that simple."

In Shen Nan's mind, the zombie outbreak could not be this small-scale, with one or two people infected, so she subconsciously wanted the villagers to stay at home.

"Okay, okay, I'll inform everyone in the afternoon, but as you know, there are a few little old ladies who can't sit still and have very bad tempers."

"Uncle, you just have to remind them once. We can't control whoever wants to die."

"Chengchengcheng, uncle knows." Listening to Shen Nan's tone, Li Zheng felt as if he was the one who made the mistake, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a guilty conscience.

sweat?

It was indeed a bit hot. Since the Chinese New Year, the temperature had risen a bit quickly. Several of them had already put on spring clothes, and they were still sweating after walking like this.

Shen Nan suddenly thought of something, "Uncle, I'm afraid we won't be able to plant the crops this year. The weather is very abnormal this year. I'm afraid there will be a drought."

"If we don't grow food, how can we people live!" Li Zheng was stunned. In his memory, people depended on the weather for food. No matter there was a drought or not, farmers should plant the seeds.

Indeed, the traditions and deep-rooted thoughts passed down from generation to generation by rural people cannot be changed in a short time.

"Okay then, it's up to you. Anyway, just ensure everyone's safety."

"Okay." Li Zheng replied.

"Okay, uncle, let's go back first."

……

Several people walked back, although they were not as nervous as when they came in the morning, they were still very alert.

When we were still five or six minutes away from home, there was a slight vibration under our feet, accompanied by the screams of the villagers.
