Chapter 1016 Demonic Seed (50)


Chapter 1016 Demon Seed is Natural (50)

Grandpa got up early and went out early with his straw hat.

Zhou Ye followed closely, with Xiao Tao standing next to him, who was already much taller.

In the past, Xiao Tao always looked soft and easy to bully, but now her face has not changed much, but the bones of her originally weak body have become much stronger. She is tall, like a green bamboo in the mountains, slender and straight, and her walk is smooth. Two long legs can easily cross Zhou Ye.

He walked in front with a sickle on his shoulder, and a string of wooden bracelets on each wrist. As time passed and the boy grew, the original light green wooden bracelets turned a light yellow, and they looked smaller. A lot. Fortunately, the young man's wrists are slender and slender, so they won't be strangled.

The two arrived one after the other.

From a distance, I could see a few old people standing motionless on the ground. The wheat fields that were golden yesterday had now turned into withered yellow and gray. The large areas of grain that spread to the foot of the mountain were all dead.

Seeing this, Zhou Ye ran to the ridge of the field.

Looking around, everything was devastated. The wheat began to rot from the roots, and the soil was dry and cracked. It spread as densely as a spider web to the feet. Then I looked up at the top of the mountain. The mountainside where there used to be evergreen trees was now. Now it turned out to be completely dead, with a withered and dilapidated atmosphere permeating the entire mountain, and there was no hope at all.

Despair quickly spread among all the elderly.

They are not young people, they do not have the strength, nor the ability to bear it, to face this terrible scene of death and silence.

Grandpa's body was trembling slightly, and even his lips began to tremble under his gray beard. Seeing this scene, even an old man who was used to wind and rain could not accept it for a while.

My heart was gripped by a burst of panic and despair.

But soon, he forced himself to calm down.

He is not the only one here, there is also Xiao Ye and Xiao Tao. We must not scare the two children.

"Let's take a look first to see if there is anything we can take away. It's okay... There was a lot of food left last year. Let's take a look first. The mountains are still there. We're still worried about not having anything to eat!"


This sentence had a somewhat comforting effect.

Everyone started searching in the fields separately to see if there was any edible food that had not been affected. The chaff that was originally full of wheat is now shriveled. Where is the grain? All gone.

There was also an acre of corn that looked as if it had been burned by fire. It was charred and black with no grains left in it. It even gave off an inexplicable smell of decay, making it impossible to eat.

And...

Not found, not at all.

The food that should have been put into the granary today has either disappeared or rotted on the branches. Not to mention eating, it can't even be smelled.

What the hell is going on?

Ignorance is scary.

Fortunately, everyone is an elderly person, and their temperament has been tempered by time and has become much calmer.

I still have some leftover food at home, so I can get through this winter.

As long as spring comes, everything can start over. No harvest for a year is no big deal. As long as the land is still there, hope is still there.

Everyone was pushed home by dusk.

In the yard, Zhou Ye sat on the threshold, looking at his grandfather in the rocking chair, sighing silently at the bright moon above his head.

She could somewhat feel what her grandfather was thinking.

Depressed and helpless, but you have to hold on.

Because life has to go on, for her before, and now for the old people who have been left behind.
