Starve!!
So Many Mouths to Feed

In the forest at Heimu Mountain, the Ning family was waiting. This is the third day. They wondered if Ning Guang, Ning Yue, and the others could return safely.

Madam He woke up early. In fact, he could not sleep well at night. She worries about her husband, her daughter, and the safety of her granddaughter.

The entire Ning family was hiding in the forest. Although many trees had already withered, this place had just experienced a riot, making it relatively safe for several days. Moreover, this was the place where they parted from Ning Yue and the others. If they wanted to find a missing person, they would have to wait here for three days. This is their deal too.

The eldest son of the Ning family had two sons. According to seniority, he was called Ning Dalang. He was eighteen years old, and the second son, Ning Erlang, was fourteen.

!!

Second Brother's family has two sons and a daughter. Ning Sanlang was thirteen this year, Ning Silang was twelve, and Ning Wumei was eleven.

The third family also had two sons, Ning Liulang and Ning Qilang who were eleven and ten years old respectively.

Lastly, there was the Ning Guang family. When Ning Yue was adopted, she was the oldest. She was eighteen years old and had three younger brothers, Ning Balang, Ning Jiulang, and Ning Shilang.

It was already a miracle for so many children to reach Xin Prefecture safely. He did not expect to lose Ning Yue and the others.

Those guys are on duty at night. At dawn, they sleep for a while, while those who wake up are responsible for finding people and supplies.

“Dad, I will bring Dalang and Erlang to look for Yueyue and the others today,” Eldest Brother Ning said to Old Master Ning.

He waited and searched for three days. Every day he was disappointed.

Behind him stood Ning Dalang and Ning Erlang. Both of them were rather thin, but they were already tall and stocky. They have done as much for the family as they have for adults.

Third Brother Ning also dragged his weak body out. “I will bring Sanlang and Liulang to forage.”

Master Ning looked at his two sons and grandson. His old face was serious. Thinking of his youngest son and grandson missing, he was also worried.

“Alright, be careful.” Old Master Ning nodded.

Today is the third day. If they were still unable to find Ning Yue and the others, they would have to leave. This is because they are not the only ones stopping here. There were also other villagers in the Ning Family Village. Everyone is waiting for them.

Thinking of the tragic situation they saw along the way, Madam He felt her blood turn cold. He did not dare to imagine what would happen to Ning Guang and the others if they were also arrested.

Natural and man-made disasters, and the evils of human nature are all revealed. People eat people everywhere.

When she thought about it, she started crying. She wiped her tears with her handkerchief and choked.

Right now, the three children were surrounding them. The eldest, Ning Jialang, wisely wiped his mother's tears and comforted her. “Mother, don't cry. Brother and Dad will be lucky. They'll be fine.”

“They will definitely be back. Uncle and Brother will find them!” Ning Shilang's young voice was also very firm.

Ning Jiulang nodded. “Yes, Mom, don't cry.”

Madam He looked at his three obedient sons with relief and sadness. He reached out and hugged them, unable to stop the tears.

The eldest, Balang, wanted to follow his uncle looking for them, but his uncle refused and told them to stay here with his mother.

Madam He was already very saddened by Ning Yue's disappearance. If something happened to her three sons, she would probably go crazy.

Moreover, the world is in chaos now. There are too many people who are neither humans nor ghosts. Eldest Brother Ning was afraid that he would not be able to take care of so many children and would be in danger.

Madam He and her three sons waited eagerly. When the scorching sun set again, the people who had come out finally came back.

The first to return were the food seekers. After a long day of searching, they found some wild plants, but they were dead.

Seeing the withered wild vegetables, Old Master Ning and Old Madam Ning fell silent. The others also lowered their heads and did not speak. Everyone was covered in dark clouds.

The Ning family had many mouths to feed. Although they brought a lot of food while fleeing, many had been snatched and eaten. Two days ago, some had been taken during the riots. Now, they could barely eat by themselves.

With so many mouths waiting to eat, even if they did not get lost, they would probably starve to death.

Cross out looking for a pale meal. He sat there alone, still trembling uncontrollably.
