Traveling through ancient times to survive

When Zhao Qing and the other two were looking for a new home, they heard cries from time to time in the camp. Zhao Lan went out to get some information and came back with a pale face.

Wang Mei looked curious: "Lan Ya, what's going on outside?"

"Second Aunt, we found some survivors. One of them was so thin that he looked unrecognizable and couldn't even breathe. It was so tragic!"

Zhao Lan had never seen such a thin human being. He was even more miserable than the African refugees she saw on TV in her previous life. His whole body was skin and bones. The only difference between him and a skeleton was that there was a layer of skin wrapped around him. The man had difficulty breathing and looked like he would faint at any time. He looked both scary and tragic.

Of course, not all of them looked so scary. There were a few people among the rescued people who were only slightly thinner than ordinary people. I heard that they were lucky to have picked up a family of injured wild boars and survived until now. But for some reason, Zhao Lan was particularly afraid of these people. As long as she met their eyes, Zhao Lan's hair stood on end and her heart beat faster. Obviously, these people looked honest and kind, and they were grateful to the people in the camp.

Zhao Lan subconsciously ignored these people and did not dare to tell Wang Mei.

Wang Mei sighed sympathetically, not knowing whether to comfort Zhao Lan or herself.

"It's good to be alive. Good things will come after surviving a disaster. Good days are still to come. By the way, where do they live now?"

"Second Aunt, the village chief has placed them in a quarantine area."

Wang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked embarrassed. She was not without sympathy, but the safety of her own people was of course more important.

"Just put them in the quarantine area. Second Aunt doesn't dislike them. Our village has spent a lot of effort to prevent the disease. We can't let it go to waste, right?"

"Second Aunt is right. Our village is well-defended and no one has died so far. We cannot let our efforts go to waste just because of saving people."

Zhao Qing and the other two also learned about this when they came back, but they were all focused on finding a new home, and knowing that their own family had no contact, they ignored it.

More and more people were rescued from the mountain, and the quarantine area was almost full. The medicine in the village chief's hands was decreasing like water, and no matter how much he tried to save it, most of it was gone.

The village chief was helpless. The people he rescued were either relatives or acquaintances. They came to him for help and it was difficult for him to refuse. For the safety of the camp, he couldn't just watch them die. If he didn't help them, it would most likely give rise to the evil in his heart and poisoning would happen again.

The village chief began to regret arranging people to go out of the village to explore, but since things had come to this point, there was no point in regretting it. The village chief had no choice but to cheer up and continue to arrange many matters in the camp.

More and more people were rescued, and the camp became as Zhao Qing had expected, with chaos and constant quarrels.

"How can you be so cruel? My brother finally managed to survive, but you guys are unwilling to give him food and want to watch him starve to death!"

"Sister-in-law, you are really the first to complain! Your brother eats more than all the men in our family. Look at the food we have stored. No one dares to eat too much. They are all hungry and want to save some food for fear of having nothing to eat in the future. Ha, you save your brother. Everyone saves money and in the end, all the money goes into your brother's stomach!"

The middle-aged woman said in a timid tone: "He is the only one alive in my family. As his only relative, what's wrong with me loving him?"

The younger women wanted to spit on her face: "Of course it's okay for you to love your brother, but don't use our rations to love him!"

As the head of the father-in-law's family, he was also very dissatisfied: "The third daughter-in-law is right. The eldest daughter-in-law should send less food to your brother in the future. We are all reluctant to eat our fill, not to give your brother from your mother's side a break."

The middle-aged woman lowered her head, looking angry.

There are many similar situations. The families who have found their relatives have not yet let go of their joy, but a fire breaks out in the backyard and the family members start arguing over a bite of food.

The village chief was extremely worried as he was asked to judge the case several times a day. In the quarantine area, several people that Zhao Lan was subconsciously afraid of secretly gathered together.

"Brother, I thought everyone in Dashan Village lived a very wealthy life. They all looked so radiant. But I didn't expect that we would still have bland meals here. I wouldn't have followed them back." Lao Liu complained a lot and was very dissatisfied with the food of the past few days.

"That's right, brother. When we were having fun outside, we ate meat for every meal. When I think about the taste of that tender skin and meat, "Tsk!" The seventh brother who took over the conversation had red eyes and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

"I've already told you not to mention it outside, you guys are just taking my words as bullshit!"

The man called Big Brother had fierce eyes, like a wolf, which made people shudder, and there was no trace of honesty on him.

"Brother, we were wrong. We won't do it again. Please forgive us this time."

The two younger brothers were terrified and immediately knelt down to apologize, trembling with fear. There were more than six of them who followed the eldest brother in the beginning. Those who were disobedient had long since turned into a pile of excrement.

"Brother, after a few days of comfortable life, they became complacent and relaxed their vigilance, which is really a taboo. However, considering that they are loyal and the truth has not been exposed, and this place is still someone else's territory, you should just give them a light punishment and a heavy warning."

"Since Lao Er is begging for you, I will let you go this time."

"Thank you, eldest brother, for your kindness. Thank you, second brother, for your plea for mercy." The two men escaped death and kowtowed desperately to express their gratitude, their backs soaked with cold sweat.

"Brother, you are wise. Almost everyone in this village survived. There must be some experts among them. You two are so reckless. Aren't you just giving away food for nothing?"

The second in command, who was the think tank, continued to teach the two a lesson.

"My second brother taught us that we must be careful in the future."

The third man asked carefully: "Brother, are we going to be locked up here? We can't get any information if we can't get out."

"Wait a minute, the old man sends us medicine every day, saying it is to cure the plague. For safety, let's stay a few more days." The eldest brother didn't want to go out for the time being.

Lao Wu suggested: "I heard that no one in their village died. This medicine is powerful. We must get it."

The eldest brother agreed with his words: "Old Five is right, this good thing belongs to us!"

The fourth brother, who looked like a reckless man, suggested: "Brother, let's go and tie up that old man and get the medicine. That old man is giving our medicine to other people to drink, and I am so angry about it!"

"Idiot! The second brother has already figured out that there is an expert in the village, don't you have ears?"

The boss was so angry that he had a headache. If the fourth brother was not so powerful and obedient, who would want to keep such a fool around? It was torture every day.

"Oh." The fourth brother took a step back in a muffled voice.

"Alright, now you all just have to bear with it. Once I get the intelligence and take over the village, I won't care what you want to do to me!"

"Yes!" the six people answered in unison.
