The son quickly ate all his food and looked at his mother. Youcai cried and said, "There is only so much, go to bed! When you fall asleep, you won't be hungry..."

Goudan nodded well and closed her eyes to sleep.

Youcai looked up at her husband Tian Ergui and saw him lying motionlessly. It was obvious that the cold and hungry days of these days had already exhausted him. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took her eyes back. Now, she no longer has the ability to save her husband. Otherwise, she and her son would be exhausted. So she closed her tears and fell asleep.

The next morning, she was woken up by her son: "Mom..., I'm hungry..."

Youcai hugged his child tightly and whispered: "Hold on it first. In the afternoon, my mother will earn back the cake after chopping wood and selling it. I'll give it to you for food, okay?"

Goudan nodded sensibly, glanced at his father's side, and said, "Dad was calling us again just now..."

"Don't worry!" Youcai said in tears, "We can't care..."

As soon as I said this, I heard someone crying not far away: "Dad! Wake up! Dad..."

Youcai looked up and saw a few people crying while holding a stiff man. The man's face was gray, his hands and feet were already stiff, and he was obviously dead. I don't know which village it was.

Tian Dagui went over to watch the fun and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with him?"

A half-old child raised his face full of tears and cried, "My father can't wake up..."

Tian Dagui quickly squatted down and checked, and found that the person was already dead and hard. He sighed: "Are you sick?"

An old man next to him said in a weak voice: "I starved to death! I haven't eaten anything since the snow. I just discovered that he was so sad. Oh, it's been snowing all the time, and I don't eat anything. It would be strange if I don't starve to death. Everyone is going to die, everyone is going to die..."

Tian Dagui felt cold in his heart, and felt that his stomach was getting more severe at this moment. He glanced at the corpse again, turned to look at the heavy snow outside the hall, and cursed, "Damn God, why is it going to snow all over? If this continues, will we all starve to death?"

While cursing, he turned around and came back, took the bag, took out a piece of bran and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it hard.

His son, Niu, looked at him pitifully: "Dad, I'm hungry..."

Tian Dagui seemed to have not heard it, and turned his head aside. He didn't care that the chaff of the chaff had not been chewed, so he forced his swallow.

It was not until he ate all the bran cakes that he breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while. He took out another bran cake, broke it apart, divided it into several pieces, and distributed it to two children, as well as two daughters-in-law and the old lady. Each of them had only a small lump the size of a thumb: "Eat it! That's all today." He handed the remaining cakes to his wife and said viciously: "Look at it, not a single one is missing! Otherwise, I will come back and peel your skin alive! Did you hear it?"

Dagui's wife looked frightened and nodded quickly to agree and took the bag.

Tian Dagui said to You Cai: "Let's go! Go chop wood! By the way, who did you sell the wood yesterday? Can you sell so much? Take me too! Sell more!"

Of course, Youcai would not tell him the truth, so he quickly made up a lie: "I don't know you either. I put it on the street, and he bought it and carried it away by himself."

Tian Dagui was disappointed and cursed: "Damn it, why don't you ask? Are you eating shit with a long mouth?"

Youcai didn't dare to give up and walked out of the hall with a hatchet.

Outside the hall, she found several places crying in the corridor outside the hall. She was also holding the corpse, all of which were young and young men.

These men are all strong farmers, able to work and eat. It is precisely because of this that in famine, they often fall first. Secondly, the elderly, weak, women and children who eat very little.

Youcai felt cold in his heart, not knowing whether he could survive. I hope he could cut more firewood today and exchange it for more food.

Chopping wood is a heavy physical job, and it is not enough to rely on the previous bit of food that is big on the thumb. So she quietly came to the alley where she hid food. After confirming that no one was watching, she secretly took out a shepherd's purse cake, broke half of it and ate the remaining half for the afternoon. She put it in her arms.

After eating half a baba, I felt a little strength in my body, so I went out of the city to chop wood.

She still climbed the hillside behind Gong'e Village to chop firewood, because the heavy snow was falling, and the mountain was covered with thick snow, and it was very difficult to go up the mountain. It was almost noon when she reached the top of the mountain. There was no firewood on the entire hillside, and it was cut all over, only behind the back mountain. However, the whole mountain was chopping firewood. These victims all knew that the only chance to survive now was to chop firewood and sell it for food.

Youcai first cut the remaining half of the shepherd's purse cake, and then chopped wood. She came early this time, so she cut a lot, which was bigger than yesterday's firewood bundle, and it was particularly difficult to carry.

When Youcai carried firewood down the mountain and entered the city, it was almost dusk. She carried firewood across the street, and there were people selling firewood everywhere. She asked, a load of firewood is only sold for ten cents now, and no one has sold it yet. After all, not many people can afford to buy firewood, and they have money to buy food.

She carried firewood to Gu Yezhou and his yard with great worries, and didn't know if she could sell this firewood. When she arrived at the yard, she learned that Gu Yezhou and Zeng Feixia had gone out to practice medicine, and there was only Ning Sanmei at home. Ning Sanmei took the firewood with a stern face and placed it in the corner of the wall. She also gave her six shepherd's purse cakes exchanged for Gu Yezhou and his practise medicine, and said, "You have more firewood today than yesterday, give one more. I hope you can remember your sir!"

Youcai was very happy and thanked him repeatedly: "I remember it in my heart, sir, your good things. If sir hadn't pity me, I..., I would have starved to death..."

"It's good to know! Go away! Don't eat it all, leave some for you to return it to your man!"

"Okay!" Youcai said, walking back with the shepherd's purse cake. She ate one of them, then hid in another alley, put the two shepherd's purse cakes in the snow in a hidden place. She took the remaining three back to the City God Temple.

She first glanced at her husband Tian Ergui. Tian Ergui had almost no rest and lay there motionlessly, with no one around her. You Cai sat down sadly and silently gave the remaining three shepherd's purse cakes to Tian Dagui.

Although five or six shepherd's purse cakes every day are enough for her to live with her son, she cannot hold her son and leave because her son is too young and needs someone to take care of him, and cannot take him up the mountain to chop firewood. What if he stays in the city without Tian Dagui's family taking care of him and is abducted and ran away?

Seeing that she had earned three bastards back, Tian Dagui was a little dissatisfied and said, "You went to chop wood early today, why are there still only three bastards? Why don't you chop more?"

Youcai said: "I cut too much, but today's firewood price is no longer as high as yesterday. If the price is high, people will refuse to do so." Youcai glanced at the firewood placed behind Tian Dagui, and then looked at Tian Dagui.

Tian Dagui said angrily: "What are you looking at? I cut firewood today, but there are too many people selling firewood on the street. I didn't sell it, and no one sold it until ten cents. I will pick it up and sell it tomorrow morning!"

While saying that, he stuffed a shepherd's purse cake into his mouth. The remaining one was given to Youcai: "This is your mother! Goudan had already eaten half a bran cake at noon, so he shouldn't be too hungry. This one is enough for you to eat." He gave the remaining one to his wife, son and mother, and the three of them shared it.

Youcai didn't say much, and hugged her son and lay down aside, broke the shepherd's purse cake apart, and gave it to his son for food.

Tian Dagui's son Niu, who was standing beside him, had already finished eating the little bitch as big as a thumb. He watched Gou Dan eat with relish. He couldn't help but gulp and came over and stretched out his hand: "Give me some food!"

Goudan was holding the bran cake and hesitated a little. At this moment, the calf suddenly reached out and snatched a small piece of cake from Goudan's hand. Before Youcai could react, she stuffed it into her mouth.

"What are you doing?" Youcai rushed over, held the calf, and reached out to take out the food from his mouth, but the calf was chewing tightly and did not let go. Youcai was so angry that she pinched his neck, but Tian Dagui grabbed the collar and threw it aside.

Tian Dagui said angrily: "Goudan is young and has a calf older and eats more. What can I do with my brother? Is it necessary to pinch it to death?"

Youcai knew that there was no way to compete with his elder brother, so she could only hold his son who was crying sadly, walked to the side and sat down, and gave the remaining half of the bastard to his son.

When Goudan had something to eat, he stopped crying, but he didn't eat it. He looked at Youcai and said, "Mom, why don't you eat it?"

Youcai's stomach was actually gingering. She had only eaten two children's palm-sized poodles for a day, which was definitely not enough to fill her stomach. However, she forced a smile and said, "Mom is not hungry, you can eat it."

Goudan still didn't eat it. He took the baba and turned to look at his father not far away, and said, "Dad hasn't eaten anything for a day, should he give it to him?"

Youcai's turbid tears rolled down again, and she choked and said, "Goudan eats it by himself, dad falls asleep, don't worry about him."

After saying that, he forced the small half of the cake into his son's mouth. Seeing that his son had eaten up all of them, he felt relieved and lie down with his son in his arms.

At this time, Dagui's wife spoke, as if she was talking to Youcai, and as if she was talking to herself: "Dr. Gong's son... was starved to death in the afternoon... The body was placed in the backyard, and no one cared about it. Alas, it was our turn..."

Doctor Gong was kidnapped by a bandit. His son fled here with his grandmother and grandson. During the heavy snow for several consecutive days, he found no food. The son was young and strong and had no food. He soon lost his life. After enduring this day, he finally died.

After hearing this news, Youcai felt heavy. If he didn't have the relief as much as Gu Yezhou, he wouldn't know how many days he could survive. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
