Chapter 239 (1/2)

”Gufeng, you are the last hope of our song family...”

”Gufeng, the greatest wish of being a teacher is to see you enter the capital in your lifetime and fight for a breath for our dilapidated little Academy...”

”Gufeng...”

Song Gufeng woke up in a burst of cold, and his ears seemed to echo the words of his father and teacher before they died.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beam of light, which made his mood a little more depressed in the early morning.

Light, of course, is a good thing.

But when it shoots in from its leaky roof, no one will be very happy to see it.

Song Gufeng lay on the bed and sighed slowly.

This is a very simple and dilapidated house, with air leakage on all sides and rain leakage on the roof.

Even before the flood came a month ago, this house was not a good house. After the flood, the dilapidated house was worthy of gratitude without being washed down by the flood. As for more, song Gufeng couldn't ask for anything more.

Lying in bed for a while, song Gufeng squeezed his eyebrows, opened his mouth and breathed out gently.

Suddenly, a very bitter taste came out of his mouth.

It's not that he doesn't brush his teeth, nor is it because he has bad breath.

It's because... The bowl of good porridge he ate yesterday is really too bitter.

”In the good white porridge, put bitter cold grass, something that pigs can't eat. It's also thanks to the person who opened the good porridge shed.”

Song Gufeng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

There was not much surplus food at home. When he returned home after the flood subsided, he couldn't find a drop of rice.

In the first two days, I could barely eat a hot meal with the help of the neighbors, but the situation of the neighborhood was not much different from that of his family. Even if there was surplus food, I couldn't eat for a few days.

After the grain was cut off, song Gufeng followed his neighbors to dig the wild grass and vegetables in the nearby barren mountains.

In the past two or three days, the weeds and wild vegetables ate his face like earth, but even the hard to swallow weeds and wild vegetables were not eaten by them at all. Before long, several barren mountains nearby were dug up by them, and many people starved to death.

Remember, it should have been the night before yesterday.

Song Gufeng was so hungry that he ran to the bare mountain alone to find something that could be stuffed into his mouth, no matter what it was.

But I couldn't find it at all.

When he fell into despair and was about to faint, there was a classmate's voice in his ear.

”... someone in the city has set up a good porridge shed!”

The short words fell into song Gufeng's ears, just like the sound of nature.

He forced himself to follow the classmate back to the city, followed the vast crowd and came to the place of the good porridge shed.

To be honest, song Gufeng had never seen so many people in his life. They were shoulder to shoulder and hand to hand, so tightly packed together.

He didn't know how long he had lined up. There seems to have been some riots before. It seems that someone is making trouble and someone wants to rob food, but the results are soon suppressed.

Obviously, the people who set up this good porridge shed are not good. These victims present, no matter what their thoughts are, can't turn up any waves in front of them.

Those who wanted to rob food, and those who spoke unkindly, were thrown out from a distance.

The remaining victims received a bowl of good porridge after queuing up.

When song Gufeng saw the bowl of porridge, what he thought was that the man had tears. When his mouth opened, he tasted his bitter tears.

Hunger.

This terrible thing.

Song Guofeng is a scholar. He once saw a famous allusion in history books, which is called changing children to eat.

It means that when the famine occurs, the victims have nothing to eat, and when the hunger reaches the extreme, they want to eat people——

Eat your own children.

But people are people after all. Tiger poison doesn't eat children.

Even in the case of how hungry, it is still difficult for their children to go there.

So the victims thought of a way, a way that is not a way, that is, to exchange their children with other victims.

Just as I exchange a chicken for a duck. Exchange your own children for other people's children, so you can go to the mouth.

When song Guofeng read this allusion, he got goose bumps all over, which was creepy and incredible.

He can't imagine under what circumstances can a person, especially a parent with a child, have a desire for his children?

Even if it is an exchange of children, it is still eating its own children in Song Gufeng's eyes.

Now, song Gufeng understands.

It turns out that when people are extremely hungry, they really have some terrible ideas and do things that they can't believe.

He is a scholar.

When I was extremely hungry these days, when I saw those thin figures looking for weeds alone on the mountain, I even had some thoughts that he should never have in his mind.

Although he soon pressed the terrible idea in his heart and slapped himself a few mouths, when he remembered it later, he was surprised by his idea at that time.
