Chapter 119 Moral Kidnapping
Xu Ge glanced at the three houses opposite and listened to their conversation, roughly knowing something about their situation.
The family on their left is a family of five. The one here now is the grandmother with her two grandchildren. The child's father and mother should be both public officials, and they are busy with rescue work and the like.
When Xu Ge and others came in, Xiang Chi saw them. The old woman nodded and seemed to be easy to get along with.
On the right side was an old couple. The old lady looked kind-hearted, and the old man was energetic and upright. Xu Ge guessed that he was an old soldier.
According to the conversation between the old couple, they also have a son who is in the army.
It wasn't that Xu Ge and Xiang Chi deliberately eavesdropped on other people's conversations. The space was simply too small. If they spoke a little louder, the whole cave could hear them clearly.
In the opposite corner is a family of three. The couple looks to be in their thirties, and the little boy looks to be seven or eight years old and is sleeping.
Seeing them coming in, the woman just glanced at them and turned over.
After settling everything, the several old people lay on the mats and fell asleep. Dad Xiang started to snore now.
Leaving Xu Tao to look after everyone, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi planned to go out and see the situation in the shelter.
Xiang Chi and Xu Ge turned out of their cave, said hello to the two soldiers standing guard, and then walked to the main passage.
As soon as I turned into the main passage, I was shocked by the crowds of people. Crowds of people were rushing in, and people kept coming in at the gate.
Everyone was dripping wet, and most of them followed the flow of people with numb expressions.
The cries of children, the whimpers and voices of adults filled the surrounding space, causing Xu Ge and Xiang Chi to frown.
The further you go, the worse the environment becomes.
The air-raid shelters have been open for a long time, and before the rain, there were many residents who could not survive here.
Some of the positions against the wall have long been occupied by those who came first, and those who came later either made do in the middle or moved further in to find other positions.
When there are more people, there will be more friction. Either you take my place, or someone touches you, and all kinds of quarreling and cursing sounds can be heard.
However, no one started to fight. The patrolling soldiers who made a few quarrels turned a blind eye, but were not allowed to fight. As long as someone started to fight, they would all be driven out of the air-raid shelter.
There are many people in the shelter, so the air is not good, not to mention that the people inside sometimes just find a place to carry people to solve their three urgent needs for convenience.
Especially some unscrupulous men who don't care about others at all and start releasing water as soon as the zipper is pulled.
Xiang Chi was caught off guard and saw a figure draining water from behind. He immediately turned his head and spat.
There were many hungry and emaciated people inside, and they all looked fiercely when they saw the rosy-faced Xu Ge and Xiang Chi.
However, due to the soldier brother standing guard, he could only attack with his eyes and did not dare to make the slightest move. A few brave ones followed Xu Ge and Xiang Chi, hoping to steal something from them while there were many people.
However, Xu Ge was always very alert, protecting Xiang Chi as he shuttled through the crowd, and soon got rid of a few thieves.
They almost understood, and despite the cannibalistic looks of some people, Xu Ge hugged Xiang Chi tightly, and the two quickly returned to their territory.
As soon as I got close to the cave entrance, before I could go in, I heard the sharp cry of a child.
"Wow, I want to drink! I want to drink!"
Xu Ge and Xiang Chi didn't know why, so they stepped up their steps and turned around to enter the cave entrance.
The little boy who had been sleeping before was struggling in his father's hands and crying at Xu Tao and the others.
Xiang's father, Xiang's mother and the other elders were visibly relieved to see Xu Ge and Xiang Chi back safely.
Xiang Chi sat next to Xiang's mother, pointed there and asked quietly.
"what's going on?"
Xiang's mother rolled her eyes when she heard that the little boy was still crying, and his mother didn't care, and would say "Still a child..." from time to time.
He approached Xiang Chi and told her the whole story vividly.
It turned out that not long after Xu Ge and Xiang Chi went out, the little boy woke up. Noisily calling out that he is hungry and wants to eat.
The family was in a hurry to evacuate, and they didn't bring much luggage or food. Just a few dry pieces of bread.
Xiangba and the others had not been sleeping soundly to begin with, but due to the noise, several old people woke up one after another.
Han Dongdong had just finished feeding Xiaobao, and he was frightened all the way. The old people also spent a lot of energy going up the mountain, and they were all a little hungry.
Because he didn't know much about the character of the other people in the same room, Xiang Ma didn't dare to be too showy, so he only took out a few rice balls and cartons of milk.
Several people turned their backs to the others and ate a few rice balls while facing the corner to stave off hunger.
Suddenly Xiaobao started crying. Han Dongdong put down the milk in his hand and went to hug Xiaobao.
The little boy finished eating the bread and was looking at the newcomer Xu Tao and the others curiously. He happened to see the milk Han Dongdong put down and stopped immediately.
The child is rolling around and clamoring for milk. The boy's father took out a bottle of water and coaxed the little boy.
"Son, drink some water..."
Before he finished speaking, the little boy knocked the water bottle in front of him to the ground and screamed:
"I don't want to drink water, I want to drink milk! I want milk, milk!"
A good bottle of water fell on the ground and spilled most of it instantly. The man quickly picked up the water bottle and screwed on the cap.
His face turned red with anger, and he raised his hand and spanked the little boy.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. The boy roared as loudly as if he was about to collapse the air-raid shelter. He burst into tears and howled for milk.
When the woman saw her son being beaten, she hugged the boy. He yelled at the man.
"If he doesn't drink, he won't drink. Why are you beating him! He's still a child! Besides, what's wrong with a child wanting to drink milk?"
As he spoke, he stared at Xiang's father and Xiang's mother from the corner of his eye, complaining:
"Didn't you see that the child was crying so miserably? Isn't it just a carton of milk? Can't you give it to a child for such a big person?"
The more Han Dongdong listened, the more strange he became. Why did it seem like he was telling her this?
When she raised her head, she saw that the woman was staring at her closely, her eyes full of resentment and contempt.
Xu Tao: "???"
Han Dongdong: "???"
No, is this person sick?
Han Dongdong felt confused and didn't want to talk to the woman. He turned over, picked up the milk, and sucked it all in two sips.
"Wow...ah, I want to drink milk!"
Seeing this, the little boy broke into a new round of crying.
When the woman saw that Han Dongdong drank all the milk, she became very angry. It was obvious that this trick had been effective against those two families before.
