Chapter 1280 Extra Zhou Su 3
Zhou Su didn't dare to eat it. He said to them, "We haven't eaten this kind of mushroom before, and there are so many of them. No one else has eaten it. We definitely can't eat it, or we'll get poisoned."
It was right in the woods by the roadside. How could it be such a coincidence that so many people didn't pick it up, but they did?
Everyone understood the situation, and a few people hesitated, thinking that if they were poisoned to death, they would be gone.
Except for the two most enthusiastic ones, who were about ten years old and as thin as sticks, they had eaten a few meals of wild mushroom soup before. Although not much, they still remember the delicious taste.
They couldn't stand eating these things every meal, "Don't worry, we'll eat first, even if we die, we'll die full!"
The group of children were unaware of the serious consequences of poisonous mushrooms, and they thought that if nothing happened to them eating them, they could have a taste too. They tried to persuade them a few times, but seeing that they were determined to eat them, they did not try to stop them.
Not long after they ate it, they both started to have stomachaches. They rolled on the ground in pain, sweating all over and foaming at the mouth.
The group of people were frightened and cried and looked everywhere for medicine for them.
In fact, they didn't know what medicine there was, so they could only pick up all the herbs they saw on the street that could be used as medicine, whether they knew or not, and they had to try their best to save the situation.
The result is predictable. The two men ate the fungus and died in pain all day long.
Everyone was scared and threw away the bamboo tubes far away. They didn't expect that the wild mushroom was so poisonous!
They dug a hole, buried the two men hastily, and continued on their way.
It is now more difficult to travel than usual. They even have no bamboo tubes to boil water, so they can only drink raw water. Two people have also died.
The group of people were hungry and cold, and had no other choice. Zhou Su spotted a family on the roadside and wanted to borrow their pot.
How could the woman be happy about this? In this world, people would rather avoid people than borrow anything from them.
What if someone is sick?
If they don’t return the things after using them, can they still catch up with these kids?
"Aunt, don't worry, we are not sick, and we are not borrowing for free. Can we work for you and dig wild vegetables in exchange?" The older children spoke up. After all, they knew more than Zhou Suli and knew what taboos this family had.
The woman hesitated when she heard them say that, but the man was very happy. "Okay, boys, you better keep your word, otherwise I will turn my back on you."
Zhou Su and the others nodded happily, "Okay, Uncle, we may not be good at anything else, but we are good at digging wild vegetables."
The man handed them a pot, but the pot was also broken, with holes everywhere, and there was only a bottom left, but they were already very happy.
This pot is at least much more useful than a bamboo tube.
After so many days, several people drank hot wild vegetable soup for the first time. They were very satisfied. With the hot soup in their stomachs, they felt like they were alive again.
A few people were obedient and washed the pots clean after use and returned them to others.
Then they started working for the family, digging wild vegetables and grass roots, fetching water, collecting firewood, cooking, and doing everything they could see, hoping that the family would lend them the pot for a few more days.
A group of people walked north together.
But after two days, Zhou Su and his companions found something wrong. This family asked them to do everything. They had to find all the food and drinks, cook them and serve them to others. After people had eaten and drunk their fill, they had to clean up the stall for them.
If the wild vegetables they dug were not enough or did not taste good one day, they would be scolded. However, this family lived a comfortable life. While they were still fleeing, they lived the life of the master and his wife.
On this day, Zhou Su and his companions dug up a bag of wild vegetables. In fact, there were not many wild vegetables at this time. They were all dried up and naturally tasted bad.
But the woman saw it again and was very dissatisfied. "Why this again? Are you being lazy again?"
Zhou Su said, "No, this is the most we can find right now. The others are far away."
"How far can it go? I think you're just lazy. No wonder your family left you behind. You're so lazy and greedy, you're such a bad guy!!"
Zhou Su shouted, "No, I wasn't abandoned by my family. I got lost!"
The woman's expression changed. "You're still talking back? If I don't teach you a lesson, don't you know how powerful I am?"
Before he could finish his words, he slapped Zhou Su in the face. It was a hard slap that made the little boy fall out, leaving Zhou Su stunned.
Then tears started to flow uncontrollably. He had never been beaten in his entire life.
If only my sister were here, she would definitely punch this bad woman out and let him vent his anger!
"what are you doing??"
"What are you doing?! Why are you hitting people??"
The children rushed forward, helped Zhou Su up, and looked at the woman angrily, each one like a wolf cub.
The woman suddenly felt guilty, "He didn't do his job well."
The man came over and said angrily, "From today on, we won't lend you our pots anymore. Just eat cold water and drink the west wind."
"Hmph, if you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. We're not even shy about lending it to you. It's just a broken pot, and how much work have we done for you? We've treated you like masters and mistresses!"
"let's go!"
They really left and had not wanted to work for a long time. He lent them a broken pot, and with so many people working for his family, he still felt unsatisfied.
He doesn't even consider whether he deserves it or not. He has already fled, but still wants to live the life of a master and a mistress.
The couple panicked when they saw them leave without even looking back. The woman shouted from behind, "Come back! Come back!"
Although she is a little small, she does a lot of work. She basically doesn't have to do anything and can just eat ready-made food. Now that this person is gone, she will have to do everything by herself in the future.
Zhou Su and his companions left without even looking back.
They are not the only family in the world that has a pot. There are not many people who have a pot.
Later, they asked someone to borrow a pot. This time, they had learned their lesson and simply exchanged it with wild vegetables and stopped working for others.
And they were not loaned out for long, at most they would be replaced once a day to prevent these people from treating them as slaves.
But the good days did not last long. Some of these children had been wandering for a long time. It was getting colder and colder, they had less and less to eat, and they did not have enough clothes. In the end, they could not hold on and fell down.
Once you fall, you can never get up again. If one falls, another will fall too.
Little Zhou Su became more and more silent. Although he had been on the run for so long, he had always lived under the protection of his family. The adults and his sister took care of everything for him.
Now that the adults were gone, they couldn't survive and were starved to death or frozen to death. His little heart was filled with great helplessness and despair. He never forgot this feeling for many years to come.
There were other people who fell down along the way. He knew that he could become like these people at any time, getting sick and falling down on the side of the road, never to get up again.
In the past, when I was with my family, I was just a spectator, but now it’s finally my turn.
