Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Along the way, countless people pricked their noses, trying to smell where the aroma of meat came from.

When Huang Ying's mother saw her daughter coming back alone, she put down the bowl in her meal and went to greet her.

As she walked in, she smelled a fragrance.

"Yingzi, what is this?"

Huang Ying quickly grabbed her mother's hand and handed the bowl to her.

"Mom, Aunt Chunhua sent half a chicken today. My mother-in-law stewed it and asked me to bring you a bowl."

Huang Ying's mother immediately pushed the bowl back.

"Your mother-in-law asked you to bring it, and you really brought it? You know how precious this meat is. What can you eat with this half chicken? Take it back!"

As she spoke, she looked at Huang Ying with some disappointment.

My daughter is good in every way except that she cares too much about her parents' home. How can a mother-in-law like her?

When Huang Ying saw her mother like this, she knew it was a misunderstanding.

This was the chicken that Jiang Jiang strongly requested to be sent over, not something she took secretly.

"Mom, don't worry. This is really what my mother-in-law asked me to send. She said that if I don't send it, I won't go back. If you don't eat it, you have to let the children eat it."

Huang Ying saw that the whole family was drinking a big pot of wild vegetable soup with two steamed buns, which was not enough.

"Okay, okay, I have to go back to eat. If I go back late, I won't be able to eat meat."

At Huang Ying's urging, her mother had no choice but to accept the bowl of stewed chicken. Before she could think of giving something in return, Huang Ying had already left.

"Grandma, can we eat meat?"

"Meat! Meat! Auntie brought the meat!"

Seeing the hungry faces of the children at home, Huang Ying's mother decided not to return the bowl of chicken after all.

Jiang Jiang cut the chicken into small pieces. Huang Ying's mother picked out the pieces with the most meat for the grandchildren in the family, and picked out another piece of meat for the sons and the old man in the family. There were a few bones left, but she didn't mind and shared them with her daughters-in-law and granddaughters.

Everyone was gnawing on the bones. They first held them in their mouths and tore off the meat bit by bit. When the bones were clean, they chewed them into pieces and swallowed them into their stomachs.

A few children couldn't chew it, so she collected the remaining bones and made bone soup with them, which they could then chew up.

On the other side, Li Dongliang was also doing very well. He was small, so he stuffed the bowl into Li Chunhua's hand and slipped away, leaving behind a sentence: "Grandma Chunhua, remember to return the bowl to me."

Li Chunhua was both amused and touched. She turned around and gave instructions to her grandson who had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Wangzi! Your grandmother Jiang Jiang is your lifesaver. You must remember her kindness in your heart, understand?"

Li Wang nodded weakly, his eyes fixed on the chicken in Li Chunhua's hand.

Now I can finally eat meat, right?

Li Chunhua immediately distributed the chicken in the bowl to everyone, except Li Wang.

"Wangzi, you are sick and cannot eat greasy food. Grandma made fish soup for you. Drink the soup."

After being forced to drink two bowls of fish soup, Li Wangsheng felt depressed. He wanted to eat meat.

Jiang Jiang waited until Huang Ying and Li Dongliang came back before letting everyone start eating.

The air-dried chicken is particularly chewy, and the wild vegetables and dried radish have fully absorbed the soup. It is so delicious when you take a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables.

Jiang Jiang also burped for the first time in a long time. She didn't dare to eat too much while fleeing from famine. She couldn't let everyone be so hungry and skinny while she alone became plump. Wouldn't that clearly show that there was something wrong?

If you eat well at night, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sleep because of hunger.

They had straw underneath and a thin layer of clothes on their bodies. Jiang Jiang also sprinkled some medicinal powder around their sleeping area to prevent snakes and insects. The whole family slept well.

Wake up feeling refreshed.

Butler Zhou told them last night that they would reach Qingyuan County in another day's walk. The Zhou family planned to rest there for a day. As for how to arrange the people in Daxi Village, they had no business doing anything.

Li Shuming told the news to the whole village. Everyone, whether they were in need of supplies or just resting, became more energetic and walked more briskly.

The group arrived in Qingyuan County in the evening, although they had originally planned to arrive there at night.

The closer you get to Qingyuan County, the more ragged refugees you see.

Seeing that the Zhou family and Daxi Village had abundant resources, some people took other approaches and shamelessly came to ask for food, or brought their own children and stopped in front of the Zhou family's carriage, shouting that they wanted to sell their children.

The people in Daxi Village were busy taking care of themselves, so naturally they would not think of helping others, let alone buying slaves.

The Zhou family was different. They had a horse-drawn carriage and were surrounded by many servants and guards. It was obvious that they were a wealthy family.

At first, the Zhou family wanted to persuade these refugees with kind words, asking them not to block the gate of the county town. However, the easier they tried to talk, the more unreasonable the refugees became. Finally, the Zhou family guards had to show their shining swords, and everyone was able to enter the city safely.

But this time, the people of Daxi Village were not so lucky. They were stopped at the gate of the county town.

The magistrate of Qingyuan County ordered that refugees were not allowed to enter the county town at will. The people of Daxi Village had neither a travel permit nor household registration, so they could only stay outside like those refugees.

In other words, the people in Daxi Village are refugees, but their wealth is richer than that of most refugees outside Qingyuan County.

Daxi Village has a large population, and facing the refugees who are eyeing them covetously, everyone is more united and works as one.

Li Shuming led everyone to find an open space near the county town to rest, and the patrol team was expanded from one to two teams.

A porridge stall was set up outside Qingyuan County. Every day at noon, everyone could get a portion of thin porridge that was clear enough to be seen through the eyes, and one could hear the sound of water when drinking it.

Even this is the last straw for most refugees who have run out of ammunition and food.

Even though everyone was starving, few dared to rob Daxi Village directly.

They are not fools. They know that they cannot defeat the opponent's kitchen knives, hoes and shiny swords with their bare hands.

That’s right, as the only family in the village that owns machetes, the brothers Li Xu and Li Sheng take turns patrolling with machetes, making sure everyone can see the weapon on their waists.

This ferocious look frightened many refugees. They could hold on for a few more days relying on the relief from Qingyuan County, but if they provoked the people from Daxi Village, they might not survive the night.

So on the first night, no one was careless enough to cause trouble.

As for Jiang Jiang, looking at the still prosperous Qingyuan County, he also became interested.

Everyone has more or less money in their hands. If they can replenish some food, medicine and tools, more people will definitely survive.

Just wanting to enter the county town is not that easy.

Just when Jiang Jiang was thinking about how to get into the county town, the opportunity came to him.
