Chapter 965: The Old Lady Who Starved to Death (4)

The trees on this hill are all dead and beginning to wither, but they are not rotten wood.

So it's still not something that can be broken with your hands.

After two attempts, and found that he could only break some branches at most, he immediately stopped wasting time, and hurriedly took a chainsaw out of his farm warehouse, and soon sawed off two nearby trees, and used an axe to split the two sawn trees into small firewood.

After that, I returned to the small cave.

Beckoning Little Beans and them to help carry firewood, and then they set up a simple stove and took a casserole from the farm warehouse to cook porridge.

Of course, rice brine and stuff like that.

It's all taken from the farm.

Qiao Mu has experienced a lot of worlds, and at the same time she has lived long enough, so there are many messy things in her warehouse, from a match needle lighter to a large mecha and spaceship, Qiao Mu actually has a collection.

Therefore, there is no fear of lacking anything.

This is also one of her confidence to dare to be independent.

She herself was used to this, but the children on the side who saw her for the first time were stunned and asked one after another, and some of them were already curious to touch things like casseroles, rice salt, and water.

After that, it was still a small bean, and it was not easy to explain to everyone what it means to be a fairy.

What is called juggling.

Of course, he's just a kid after all.

So the explanation is also quite crude.

In the end, it was Qiao Mu who assisted on the side and used simple and easy-to-understand words to depict a kind and kind old grandfather and old fairy to these children.

That's how they were appeased.

And officially began to light the fire to cook porridge.

Anyway, Qiao Mu had a lighter in his hand, so it was naturally impossible to waste time with such an ancient method as drilling wood to make fire, and after a while, he successfully lit the fire and began to wait for the porridge to boil.

Because considering that the children have been hungry for a long time, Qiao Mu didn't dare to put more rice when cooking porridge this time, only half a catty of rice was put in total, and more than 20 children shared, each person probably divided a little bit, but the stomach after long-term hunger is quite fragile, and you must eat less every time and eat something mild to raise slowly.

Eating smaller, more frequent meals is the way to go.

So there's nothing wrong with that.

Although the child doesn't know these truths, but at this time, some eat, it would be good to fill the stomach a little, who cares how much?

Half an hour later, the porridge was finally ready.

Qiao Mu also took out twenty-one pottery bowls at the right time, and served a bowl of porridge to everyone, including herself, although the porridge was very thin, and each person probably got less than a hundred grains of rice, but everyone was still very happy to eat, and they didn't dare to waste a little, and the bowls didn't need to be washed after eating.

They licked it clean.

And then we all slept together.

It was the first time in recent months that they had a lot of things in their stomachs to sleep, and it was also the first time they had slept so comfortably and so peacefully.

After all the children were asleep, Qiao Mu closed his eyes with peace of mind, combed through the remaining memories of the original body, and learned about the current era.

Human memory is divided into two parts, one part is carried in the soul, and the other part is carried in the body, the memory contained in the soul and the body is actually similar, the only difference is probably that as long as the memory of the soul does not enter reincarnation, it can always exist in the soul, and the memory of the body will gradually dissipate not long after death.

When Qiao Mu took over Tao Zhang's body.

She had just died.

So the memory is still well preserved.

It didn't take long for Qiao Mu to know the past experience of the original body and the specific background of the current era.

I have to say that the original body was a hard-working person.

A person like her, who has a special divine beast bloodline in her body, and at the same time accidentally activates a part of it, if she is in the cultivation world, she is a peerless genius, and she will be rushed by many sects.

It's a pity that she lives in the mortal world.

In the first few decades, to be precise, in the first thirty years, the original life has always been very good, although it will be better than normal people, but it has not been able to eat to a very outrageous extent, which is about the same as the amount of food of an adult male, plus he has not become fat, and the family conditions are not bad, so the original family members don't care.

After getting married, her husband's family didn't care much.

I even feel that it is a blessing to be able to eat.

Maybe you can give birth to a big fat boy.

But after the original body and her husband have been married for more than ten years and still have no children, the wheels of the original body are no longer good and good, but have become the focus of the mother-in-law's husband's abuse, such as not being able to eat eggs, and even being inferior to a rooster.

The original body itself felt that it was a loss.

I can only endure it.

and acquiesced in her husband's concubine.

Originally, it was just like this, it was nothing more than a lonely old age, and it would not be too miserable.

But when the original body was thirty-five years old.

The energy she had accumulated over the past thirty-five years suddenly reached the initial activation point, and her gluttonous bloodline officially began to activate, so from that day on, her appetite began to soar, from the beginning to eat about two bowls of rice per meal, and gradually became three, four, ten, and sometimes she had to eat meat in large gulps, and she could eat a roasted whole sheep.

Eventually, she even became unable to control herself and became eating all the time.

If you don't let it, you will go crazy.

This is the disadvantage of gluttonous bloodline activation, and once the gluttonous bloodline is activated, there is no way to stop.

It is necessary to absorb a large amount of high-energy matter.

In fact, at this time, devouring all kinds of spiritual objects, thousand-year-old ginseng, 10,000-year-old ginseng, and even all kinds of heaven and earth treasures is the best way to activate the bloodline in the body, but the world in which the original body existed is just an ordinary world, and it is difficult to find a century-old ginseng.

Not to mention other treasures of heaven and earth.

Even if there is......

It's not something that the original husband's family can afford.

At the beginning, the original husband's family could barely bear it, after all, their family was thick, and they didn't lack a few more bowls of rice, but as the original body's situation became more and more serious, and even sometimes she would eat like crazy in front of many guests, and when the people in the village and even the town began to point fingers at her, the original husband's family couldn't bear such a shame anymore.

The next divorce is a matter of course.

Even others have to say that the original husband's family is kind, and his wife was possessed by a starving ghost, but he did not set fire to death, but sent his wife and the original dowry back to his father-in-law's house.

If the original mother's family is good.

Maybe the original body won't be too sad.

But her mother's family was also unwilling to accept her existence, and did not let her into the house at all.

Out of desperation, the original body could only find a place to live outside the city, although she had a lot of money in her hand, but because the news of her starving ghost had spread throughout the town, no one dared to go to her side to steal things.

However, she can eat so much, even if she has a dowry in her hand and the dowry given by her husband many years ago, she can't eat it, and the gold and silver mountains have to be empty, and in less than two years, the original net worth has shrunk by half, and it is only at this time that the original body can barely control her appetite, and she finds that as long as she can endure that hunger, even if she doesn't eat much, she can't actually starve to death.

But by this time it was too late.

It is impossible for her husband's family and her mother's family to accept her anymore.

In addition, as soon as you go out, you will be pointed at by others, and you will be disgusted by others as a virus ghost.

Within a few years, the original body had a psychological breakdown.

The thought of dying was born.

And one afternoon, he threw himself into the river.

Then, the original body was rescued by Xiaodouzi with a few children, and was dragged by several of their children to a dilapidated mountain temple to be taken care of for several days, that is, from that time, the heart of the original body was warmed up again.

These children are so difficult, but they are still trying to survive, they are still helping people who are more difficult, and they are still going to mass graves to pick up some abandoned babies.

Find a way to save those abandoned babies and raise them.

And what reason did she have to give up her life?

The original body stimulated by this.

Soon let go of the idea of begging for death.

and they became friends with Little Bean.

In the eyes of others, it was the original body that bought something from time to time to help Xiaodouzi and them, but in the eyes of the original body itself, Xiaodouzi and them were not only her saviors, but also her salvation.

The most important thing is that the original body can feel that after helping Xiaodouzi and them, he will have a moment of peace of mind, and his hunger will subside a little.

The original body didn't know what was going on.

But there is undoubtedly no harm in that.

So the original body has always insisted, and they have insisted on helping Xiaodouzi them, and at the same time, they will often help Xiaodouzi raise the abandoned babies they just picked up, which is also the main reason why Xiaodouzi, who originally only had a few people, why did it become twenty-one so many, if there is no help from the original body, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Xiaodouzi to save and raise all the abandoned babies they picked up.

If this kind of life goes on forever.

It's actually not bad for the original.

She has to treat the little beans as children.

Little Bean, they also treat her as a grandmother.

Such a life is harmonious and comfortable.

Eventually, however, the drought came.

It was not a drought of one or two months in the past, or the occasional small drought in which locusts crossed the border, but a major drought that is rare once in hundreds of years, when rivers began to dry up, ancient wells began to dry up, the land was cracked like tortoise shells, and children and daughters were sold for money.

Life just got harder.
