Chapter 13
Shameless!
Soon, Lin Suisui found out what the first gift Lu Ze sent to Mrs. Luo’s family was.
After comforting Lin Suisui, he got up and went to look for Aunt Lin’s husband, Uncle Song, her two sons, and the few families that had previously joined forces with them.
Unlike before, when they had secretly left the camp, this time, they were prepared.
Soon, when they returned, they brought back the corpses of the five wolves.
Although these five wild wolves were a little thin, at this moment, they were undoubtedly life-saving food for people like them who lacked food.
The families moved quickly. Before anyone could react, they had already dealt with the wolves by the camp. Lu Ze only wanted two wolf skins and two wolf legs. The rest were not wasted and were quickly divided up by the families.
It was naturally impossible to hide such a huge commotion from others.
“Aren’t you afraid that those people will come and snatch it?!” Lin Suisui looked out from the gap in the tent and saw the families sharing the food. She was a little worried.
For the past two days, some had almost lost their lives merely over half a sesame seed cake. What was in front of them was meat!
“If we hide it, someone might really come and snatch it.” Unlike Lin Suisui, who was worried, Lu Ze was very open-minded about this matter.
Or rather, he had already planned it and was confident.
“These people have all survived the escape. In order to survive, the things they have done are beyond your imagination!
“By putting this matter out in the open today, we’re actually telling those people that since we can put these things out in the open, it’s obvious that we’re not afraid of them finding trouble!”
Lu Ze narrowed his eyes. He knew Pei Qian’s plan very well!
In the end, less than 30% of these refugees would be able to settle down in the northern region. As for those fierce troublemakers, they would be dealt with by Pei Qian on the way!
The reason why Pei Qian hadn’t made a move yet was probably because he was waiting for the right time.
However, no matter what Pei Qian thought, as long as they stayed put, Pei Qian wouldn’t do anything to them for the time being!
Just as Lu Ze had confirmed, although almost the entire refugee camp had seen the process of them splitting the meat, no one really came forward to snatch it. They only came over to snatch the leftovers after they took the majority.
The commotion during the night didn’t affect their journey the next day.
However, Lin Suisui, who was walking on the road, clearly felt the scrutinizing and even jealous gazes of the surrounding refugees.
Compared to the other families in their small group, Lu Ze and Lin Suisui looked the weakest and easiest to deal with.
If they could succeed, at least the two wolf legs in their basket would be able to relieve the urgent need for food in many families.
This malice festered along the way until it reached its peak when they camped in the evening.
However, Lin Suisui didn’t expect the other party’s method to be this.
After the bonfire was started, the first to come over were actually a few children.
The oldest looked to be five or six years old, and the youngest was even in the arms of her siblings. During this period of time, there was no way to guarantee the amount of water they could drink, let alone take showers. Therefore, these children had sallow faces and pitiful looks.
This move was really despicable and shameless!
After understanding the schemes of the adults behind these children, Lin Suisui was furious!
She was actually not a cold-hearted person, but that didn’t mean that she was willing to be threatened and give up her life for nothing!
She knew very well that many people in the camp were staring at her!
As long as she took out a little food for these children, more children would come over and beg her for help.
Therefore, Lin Suisui only thought for a moment before having an idea.
Instead of roasting the two wolf legs as she’d planned, she took a piece of the Yang Locking she’d dug up in the forest of saxaul yesterday from her basket. Without looking at the children, she got up and walked to Lu Ze, who was setting up the tent, and gave him most of it.
Lu Ze glanced at the row of children who were staring at them not far away and didn’t say anything. He took the food from Lin Suisui and felt that it was fine to make do with a meal tonight.
However, their arrangements were unacceptable in the eyes of the parents who had instructed their children to come over and ask for food!
If they didn’t roast the wolf leg today, wouldn’t their children have gone over for nothing?!
“Why are the two of you so cold-blooded?! How much can these children eat?! If they weren’t so hungry, would they have come to you for help?!
It’s said that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Is your heart made of stone?!”
A woman took a few steps over and protected one of the boys. She criticized Lin Suisui and Lu Ze angrily.
Lin Suisui was actually filled with anger at this moment. Hearing this woman’s words, she couldn’t be bothered to endure it anymore. She stood up and faced the woman’s angry gaze. “You’re so unreasonable. Are we very familiar?! We don’t even know each other. Why should I take out our life-saving food to fill your stomachs?!”
Who wouldn’t feel sorry for their own family? You feel sorry for your child, but I also feel sorry for my husband who hasn’t eaten his fill after traveling for so long!
If you’re really greedy for the food in our hands, there are many wild wolves outside the camp. Why don’t you let your husband hunt a few?!
It saves you from coveting other people’s food!”
Lin Suisui’s words immediately made the woman blush. She was so angry that she almost fainted. It took her a long time to recover. She scolded angrily, “You evil-hearted person, do you know how powerful the wild wolves outside are? You actually asked my husband to hunt wolves. What are you thinking?!”
“Oh, so you also know that the wild wolves outside are fierce and cunning. Then why should the wolf meat that my husband risked his life to get be given to you for free?!
“You look like you’re already so old. Why are you so evil?!” Lin Suisui was waiting for her to say this and scolded her back!
