Chapter 61: The Sin of Gender 61
After this incident, Fang Zhongyi also became alert, and he explained to Qin Shuangshuang the handling of Xiao Xia’s family and the background and consequences. Before leaving, he repeatedly warned Fang Yaoyao not to run around recklessly no matter what happened, and not to be willful anymore.
Even without Fang Zhongyi’s warning, Fang Yaoyao was already terrified from this experience, and it seemed that she had matured a lot in an instant.
In the past, although Fang Zhongyi and Qin Shuangshuang knew that people outside were starving and resorting to cannibalism, for them, it was as easy as going to Da Shan to find food, so they had never been truly hungry, and Fang Yaoyao could never understand what it felt like to be so hungry that one would resort to cannibalism!
Fang Yaoyao didn’t know the feeling of hunger and couldn’t feel the fear brought by the rumors of cannibalism. But this time, being deceived by her former good friends and almost being eaten made her truly feel how terrifying the world could be and how hunger could turn people into such demons!
Not long after Fang Zhongyi left, the village chief also came by, mainly to talk to Qin Shuangshuang about the results of handling the previous disturbances in the village. The refugees were sent to the government, and Mr. Qin’s family was driven out of the village under everyone’s watch.
The Qin Family indeed had a lot of grain, and if it was used to make porridge, it would be enough for the entire village to eat for more than a month. The villagers did not touch this grain, and let the Qin Family take it away with them by cart.
However, although the Qin Family left the village, they didn’t dare to go far and settled in a dilapidated temple not far from the Qin Family Village, seemingly hoping to continue to seek shelter under the name of the Qin Family Village.
Even after committing such vicious acts, the Qin Family still had the audacity to cling to the Qin Family Village’s shelter, which was quite irritating to the villagers. However, since they had left the village and were no longer part of the Qin Clan, everyone just considered them out of sight, out of mind, pretending the family did not exist.
After these two incidents, Qin Shuangshuang felt that the matter of going to the border city couldn’t be delayed any longer. As she understood, it wouldn’t be long before the court gave the order forcing the common people to go to the border city. Since they had to go anyway, taking the initiative to set out would definitely yield more benefits.
