Chapter 143: Children are still able to comfort people
Old Lady Mu opened her lips that were as dry as orange peel. A trace of crystal clear saliva, as thin as spider silk, hung from the corner of her mouth and fell like a line.
Then, without hesitation, she pushed the two people she was holding tightly in her hands into her open bloody mouth.
The disgusting sounds of chewing and swallowing echoed all around. The sound was like the roar of evil spirits from the abyss of hell, or like the whisper of a devil in one's ear.
Everyone present was stunned by the horrific and bloody scene before them.
They stared at Old Lady Mu with wide eyes and horror on their faces, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
About a quarter of an hour later, this tragic scene finally came to an end.
Old Lady Mu licked the blood on her lips contentedly. Her eyes, which were originally scarlet, were now flashing with a strange light. Her hideous and distorted face made people shudder.
Everyone had forgotten about running away, until the Land Rover's roar reminded them, and they remembered to run away quickly!
However, I don’t know whether these people are stupid or just afraid!
One by one, they ran and fell to the ground, unable to run anymore. They could only shout in fear, asking Old Lady Mu not to come over.
Lu Hu no longer cared about them and quickly ran back with Xier!
The commotion here was so loud that Lu Qingqing and her cousins had already noticed it. They didn't even wait for Lu Hu and Xier to come back, and quickly packed their bags and ran forward.
Fortunately, they didn't run far before Land Rover and Yu'er caught up with them.
Yu'er was so frightened by the scene that she couldn't speak and her tears fell silently. Fortunately, she was still able to control her emotions.
Lu Hu was also frightened by the scene just now. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said:
"She just ate it like a bird. She ate a living person that big in just a few bites."
Yang Liuqing quickly took gauze to wipe his sweat and exclaimed:
"She really ate living people? Oh my god, then she has become a zombie?"
She had heard the word "zombie" from the elders in the village when she was a child, but she had only heard that zombies liked to eat the blood of living people, but had never heard that they liked to eat meat.
Thinking of this, Yang Liuqing felt a chill in his spine.
The other few people also looked unhappy, but they did not stop and continued on their way.
At this moment, they wished they could grow four legs so that they could leave this place as quickly as possible and reach Guicheng!
But people are people after all, not machines, and they always feel tired and hungry.
After they had been walking non-stop for three hours, it was already almost half past noon.
My stomach finally couldn't bear the hunger anymore, so I had to stop and eat before continuing on my way.
At this time, they were more than forty miles away from the place where Old Lady Mu killed the victims.
She has eaten so many people, it will probably take a while for her to catch up!
Lu Qingqing quickly took out the food from the backpack and immediately divided the work among the people.
After a while, two pots started to light fire at the same time, and the rice and salty pork ribs soup were already cooking in the pots.
In order to save time and fill their stomachs quickly, they just had pork rib soup with rice for lunch and did not eat other vegetarian dishes.
When the rice and soup were cooked at the same time, Second Aunt served the first bowl to Yuer.
It was fate that originally wanted to send her back to Old Lady Mu's family.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, her family members were gone, and they died in a miserable way!
The little girl witnessed the whole process and must have thought of how her parents died in the same way.
Along the way, Yang Liuqing could feel her sadness and pain.
But she didn't tell anyone, nor did she hold anyone back, and she kept walking forward with strength.
Yang Liuqing couldn't help but feel a little distressed for such a strong and sensible child at such a young age.
"Let's eat first. No matter how big the matter is, there's no need to get so upset over a bowl of rice."
Yuer stared blankly at the hot rice in the bowl, on which there were several pork ribs, and looked up at Yang Liuqing again.
For some reason, Yuer burst into tears!
This crying made Yang Liuqing at a loss, and he was just about to say something to comfort her.
Lu Qingqing quickly stopped her and said, "Let her cry for a while."
It was such a horrific scene, even adults would feel uncomfortable watching it, let alone a child. The dead were her relatives. A child with a weaker character would have been frightened to the point of going insane.
Lu Yaoyao, who was preparing to eat, saw Yu'er crying so sadly, and moved closer to her. She took out a clean face towel and handed it to her.
"I'll wipe it for you."
Yu'er looked at the white face towel in front of her, then looked at Lu Yaoyao who was looking at her sincerely, hesitated for a moment, then took it and wiped the tears from her face.
Lu Yaoyao then said, "I have another face towel, I'll give this one to you."
In years of famine, a decent face towel like this could be equivalent to an adult's daily food ration.
Lu Yaoyao actually gave it to her as a gift, and Yu'er was so scared that she immediately stuffed it back to her:
"No, no, I can't take yours."
Lu Yaoyao took it and put it back into her hand, saying:
"Take it. You need it more than I do. If you are sad and cry, use it to wipe your tears. Otherwise, people will laugh at you."
"Will no one laugh at me if I wipe it off?"
"Yes, otherwise your face will be dirty from crying and people will laugh at you as a little beggar."
"But my parents are gone."
"My mother is gone too. She died when I was very young."
"Did you cry then?"
"My sister said that I would not cry since I was only one month old at that time."
Yu'er said "oh" and asked, "What about your father?"
Lu Yaoyao thought for a moment and said, "My father went out to do some work. When we left the village, he hadn't come back yet."
Speaking of her father, Lu Yaoyao missed him very much and her eyes suddenly became red, but she tried her best to hold back and did not cry!
When Yu'er saw Lu Yaoyao like this, she knew that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked, but when she thought of the tragic death of her parents, she burst into tears again.
Lu Yaoyao patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't cry, did your mother tell you to run away quickly, live well and ignore her?"
Yu'er raised her head, looked at her blankly and said, "Yes."
"Then listen to your mother and stop crying. Don't attract the monster here, or your parents' efforts will be in vain."
I don’t know if it was Lu Yaoyao’s words that worked, or what, but Yu’er actually stopped crying.
Lu Qingqing and Yang Liuqing smiled at each other. It turned out that it was the children who had to comfort them!
