Chapter 179

"No, part of our food source has to rely on fishing in the sea. What if it attracts sharks? It's better to burn it," Xu Damao said.

"Burning her is troublesome, and we have to find wood. It's tiring. It's better to dig a hole and bury her," Liugen said.

"No, who knows if Jia Zhangshi has any diseases? What if it pollutes the land or causes an epidemic? It's not like before. Before, you just had to buy some medicine. Now you have to rely on yourself to carry it."

"Let Qin Huairu, Bang Geng, and the others burn Jia Zhangshi, and we'll watch," Xu Damao said firmly.

Everyone thought it was the same. In this kind of time, you can't get sick. If you get sick, you have to rely on yourself.

Under the strong demands of Xu Damao, Liugen, and others, Qin Huairu, Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and Huai Hua went to collect branches reluctantly.

Fortunately, Xu Damao and others had matches or lighters, so they didn't have to worry about fire for the time being.

Bang Geng was scolding Xu Damao and others while looking for firewood and branches. If Qin Huairu hadn't stopped him just now, Bang Geng would have fought with Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu felt extremely tired. She thought Bang Geng was smart, but she didn't expect him to be a fool. Didn't he see that there were so many people on Xu Damao's side? Furthermore, it was her side that was in the wrong. Who told her side to be relatives with Jia Zhangshi?

Bang Geng was forcibly stopped by Qin Huairu, so he was angry and could only vent the anger in his heart by scolding Xu Damao and others.

As for He Yuzhu, Bang Geng didn't dare to scold him. After seeing He Yuzhu's strength, Bang Geng chickened out. Not to mention anything else, just say if He Yuzhu had a whim and took these people back, leaving only himself on the island, what would he do?

If it really reached that point, it could be said that heaven was not responding and earth was not responding. It's not like now, although it's miserable, there are still so many people accompanying him. Even if he dies, everyone dies together.

Thinking of this, Bang Geng hated Xu Damao even more: "It's all that bastard Xu Damao. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so tired. And Liugen and the others, they are all a group of dead childless bastards..."

Xu Damao and his group were already angry. They finally got a little food, but it was all eaten by Jia Zhangshi, and Bang Geng was still scolding there.

Everyone already had fire, and now the fire in their hearts was ignited again.

"Beat him up." A shout came from the crowd, and this shout ignited the fire in everyone's hearts again.

Instantly, countless voices sounded.

"Beat him up."

Everyone rushed up and gave Bang Geng a round of punches and kicks. Qin Huairu wanted to stop them, but was also pulled aside by a group of women and beaten up.

Although Bang Geng was screaming "Awoo," his eyes were revealing a poisonous light, staring at Xu Damao and others, making Xu Damao and others feel cold.

Xu Damao narrowed his eyes, feeling cold in his heart. Xu Damao knew deeply that Bang Geng was a wolf cub. Not only would he bite people, but he would also eat people. This kind of person couldn't be beaten into submission.

Xu Damao took the opportunity to rush up, kicked Bang Geng fiercely between his legs, and then kicked out with all his strength, kicking Bang Geng's knees.

Only a "Crack~" sound was heard, and Bang Geng's two legs were directly broken.

"Ah! Xu Damao, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Bang Geng let out a hysterical scream, his body curled up, his hands holding his knees, rolling on the ground.

"Xu Damao, you beast! Are you still human? Bang Geng just scolded you a few times, do you need to be so cruel? Everyone, be careful. Xu Damao can break Bang Geng's legs, and he can also break your legs." Qin Huairu struggled to break free from the restraints of those big women, rushed up, pushed everyone away, and protected Bang Geng.

At the same time, Qin Huairu didn't forget to provoke.

"Qin Huairu, you don't need to provoke. Everyone's eyes are bright. Don't change the subject. Although Jia Zhangshi is dead, you have to pay back the food she stole. This is the food we exchanged with our lives. Don't think that you can twist your butt and cry a few times and this matter will be over. No way!"

"Before dark, you must return the food Jia Zhangshi stole from us. Otherwise, your family will fend for themselves. We will send people to watch you. As long as you get food, we will grab it," Xu Damao said viciously.

Xu Damao did this because he deeply understood that on this wild sea island, only by being ruthless can one survive.

And the biggest threat to Xu Damao was Bang Geng. Xu Damao knew that Bang Geng could do anything. If he let Bang Geng go lightly, with Bang Geng's temper, it's possible he would sneak over at night and beat him up.

If it was just beating him up, it would be fine. He was afraid that he would be beaten into serious injury. Based on Xu Damao's understanding of the beasts of the Siheyuan, if he was beaten into serious injury, absolutely no one would come to help him, and many people would even come to kick him while he was down.

Simply, Xu Damao took the initiative.

Qin Huairu's face changed instantly. Here, no food means death.

"You can't do this. We are all neighbors and should help each other. Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you have to stand up and say something, lead everyone out of the predicament," Qin Huairu instinctively looked for a backer.

As soon as Liu Haizhong heard this, his official addiction flared up, and he wanted to stand up and point out the country. Before he could open his mouth, he was pulled back by Yan Bugui.

"Old Liu, are you stupid? Qin Huairu is clearly using us as guns. Do you think this is the Siheyuan? This is a desert island. There is no law, no Street Office, and no police station. Whoever is young and strong has the final say."

"What is our situation now? Can't you see clearly? Our two families are equivalent to the Yi Zhonghai of the past, just childless households. Although you have three sons, none of them are here. You are just a lonely old man;"

"I am the same. Although Yan Jiecheng and the others are all here, having them is the same as not having them. You dare to stand up, and Xu Damao and the others dare to beat you into a semi-disabled person."

"When that time comes, you can only wait for death," Yan Bugui said in a low voice.

Xu Damao is very smart. By using Jia Zhangshi's theft of food, he not only solved Bang Geng but also tied everyone together.

"Return the food!" Xu Damao said viciously.

"Return our food!" Liugen and others also said viciously.

In the face of survival, everything has to give way.

Qin Huairu looked at the ferocious faces of the crowd and had no choice but to agree to repay.

As time passed, the beasts of the Siheyuan began to gradually tear off their disguises and reveal their most primitive side.

Facing the cruel survival environment, the first to be eliminated was Bang Geng. Because Bang Geng was seriously injured and could not engage in hunting labor, he could only rely on Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huai Hua.

The means for Qin Huairu and the three to obtain food were only fishing, picking wild fruits, digging wild vegetables, etc. Unlike Xu Damao and the others, who could also organize hunting, the food sources obtained by Qin Huairu and the three were naturally less.

It's not that Qin Huairu didn't think about integrating into the group, but others had long known about the selfish, greedy, and bullying nature of Qin Huairu's family, and didn't give her a chance at all.

If it were in the Siheyuan of the past, even if everyone was annoyed by Qin Huairu, they would have to bite the bullet and say hello, especially when Yi Zhonghai was still there. Even if the beasts of the Siheyuan hated Qin Huairu in their hearts, they could only swallow their anger and let Qin Huairu's family take advantage.

Now, no one is used to Qin Huairu anymore. The fact that the beasts of the Siheyuan didn't kick Qin Huairu's family while they were down was already because they still had a little humanity.

Qin Huairu and the three obtained less food, and there was also the burden of Bang Geng. At first, because of the constraints of family affection, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua still took care of Bang Geng. However, after a long time, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua were both hungry and couldn't stand it, so naturally, they stopped taking care of Bang Geng.

Bang Geng was extremely spoiled at home, everything had to be according to him, and he was used to being lawless. Seeing Xiao Dang and Huai Hua treat him like this, he naturally scolded Xiao Dang and Huai Hua. Bang Geng also took advantage of Xiao Dang not paying attention, grabbed Xiao Dang's hair, and beat her desperately, as if he wanted to beat Xiao Dang to death. At this time, Qin Huairu was still looking for food outside.

Just when Xiao Dang was about to be beaten to death by Bang Geng, Huai Hua rushed over, smashed a stone fiercely on Bang Geng's head, and then bit Bang Geng's wrist, only then saving Xiao Dang.

After Xiao Dang was saved, she immediately crawled away from Bang Geng. Huai Hua also took the opportunity to escape from Bang Geng. Because Bang Geng's legs were broken and he couldn't move, he could only scold Xiao Dang with all kinds of vicious language.

Xiao Dang recovered for a while, and after having strength, she looked at Bang Geng with murderous intent, and then picked up a stone and smashed it at Bang Geng's head.

Xiao Dang smashed more than ten stones before she vented the anger in her heart.

Afterward, Xiao Dang took Huai Hua and resolutely broke away from the Qin family, joining the group of Xu Damao and others.

On this desert island without constraints, women, or more precisely, young women, are a precious resource. Whether it is based on inheritance or personal comfort, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua were easily accepted into the group.

Qin Huairu, who was old and fading, was excluded.

When Qin Huairu returned to the temporarily built grass shed, she found Bang Geng, who was covered in blood and dying. Qin Huairu was shocked and hurriedly asked Bang Geng what happened.

Bang Geng first ate all the food Qin Huairu had found, and after having some strength, he added fuel to the fire and told about the evil deeds of Xiao Dang and Huai Hua.

Qin Huairu went to find Xiao Dang and Huai Hua angrily. Xiao Dang didn't talk nonsense and directly showed the scars she had been beaten by Bang Geng. Qin Huairu was speechless and understood that Bang Geng was lying.

What Qin Huairu hoped most was for the whole family to work together to live on. However, how is this possible? Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and Huai Hua grew up in the environment of the Jia family, and all of them were extremely selfish. Wanting them to work together is something they shouldn't even think about.

Xiao Dang even broke off relations with Qin Huairu and Bang Geng on the spot.

The reason is very simple, very pure, and even more intuitive.

"I want to live, I don't want to be beaten to death by Bang Geng," Xiao Dang said.

"I will warn Bang Geng. Xiao Dang, Huai Hua, let's go back. Let the family be together," Qin Huairu said sadly.

"Hehe, do you believe this? Do you believe that if we go back with you, I definitely won't live past the second day? That night, Bang Geng will take advantage of me sleeping and strangle me to death," Xiao Dang sneered.

Qin Huairu was speechless again, because Bang Geng could really do this kind of thing.

Qin Huairu persuaded for a long time, but Xiao Dang and Huai Hua remained unmoved. Finally, Qin Huairu could only return to her grass house dejectedly.

Qin Huairu grew up in the countryside since she was a child and had strong survival skills. It was no problem to support herself. However, adding a Bang Geng made Qin Huairu a bit stretched.

The key is that Bang Geng is purely a burden. Not only can he not help, but he also cannot provide emotional value, and he complains every day, scolding this person and that person, and shouting that he is hungry every day.

As soon as Qin Huairu came back, Bang Geng would wail for food, sweeping away all the food Qin Huairu brought back, without any intention of leaving any for Qin Huairu.

After a long time, Qin Huairu felt a bit cold.

Hunger can make people crazy, but it can also make people calm. After Qin Huairu calmed down, she knew that Bang Geng couldn't be relied on, and because of the cruel survival environment on the desert island, Bang Geng's injury not only didn't see any improvement but also had a tendency to gradually worsen.

Finally, Qin Huairu made up her mind to eat her fill first. Up to this point, Bang Geng went from being able to eat almost full every day to the extent of starving for nine meals in three days.

Seeing that Qin Huairu couldn't bring back food, Bang Geng scolded Qin Huairu, and even asked Qin Huairu to be a whore, so as to exchange some food from Xu Damao's group.

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't agree, Bang Geng took advantage of Qin Huairu sleeping in the middle of the night, climbed to Qin Huairu's side, grabbed Qin Huairu's hair, and hammered Qin Huairu's head desperately.

Qin Huairu was completely disappointed, pried open Bang Geng's fingers that were grabbing her hair one by one, and then completely gave up on Bang Geng, letting Bang Geng fend for himself.

Bang Geng didn't last three days and died. Qin Huairu was also afraid that Bang Geng would get sick and pollute the water source or the land, so she burned Bang Geng with a fire, and then dug a hole for Bang Geng's ashes and remaining bones and buried them casually.

Xu Damao's side was also full of infighting. In this environment, morality, humanity, and the like were all useless. Only power is respected. Whoever has the greatest power, whoever has the biggest fist, whoever can fight, is the boss.

Only now did Xu Damao understand why Yi Zhonghai emphasized respecting the old and loving the young every day. In the final analysis, it was for survival. Forming this kind of somewhat perverted respecting the old and loving the young into a fixed rule could guarantee his old age.

Unfortunately, this set of rules didn't work here at all.

After constant grinding and fighting, the group Xu Damao was in finally formed a certain order under the leadership of the younger generation like Wang Jianmin, Zhang Limin, and Li Aijun, relying on fists.

Having order means injustice.

First, the older generation was eliminated, such as Liu Haizhong and his wife. The two were old to begin with, and had no survival ability. Liu Haizhong's hammer-swinging was useless here, and the food they obtained every day was naturally very little.

Liu Haizhong didn't have self-knowledge and wanted to show off his status as the Second Uncle, asking Xu Damao and others to provide food.

Food is life!

How could Xu Damao and others provide food for Liu Haizhong? Not only did they not provide food, but they also taught Liu Haizhong a lesson.

Liu Haizhong was old and weak, and was starving, so he was gradually eliminated.

The next to be eliminated were Yan Bugui and his wife. Yan Bugui wanted to ask Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiekuaung for food.

The three Yan brothers used the family motto of "eating doesn't make you poor, drinking doesn't make you poor, if you can't calculate, you'll be poor" as an excuse to settle accounts with Yan Bugui. Since Yan Bugui didn't have the ability to repay, no one in the Yan family lent food to Yan Bugui.

The three Yan brothers were beaten up after it was discovered that Yan Bugui borrowed food in their name. In the end, this account still fell on the three Yan brothers.

The three Yan brothers stated on the spot that no one could borrow food in their name. Finally, Yan Bugui and his wife followed in the footsteps of Liu Haizhong and his wife and died.

As Wang Jianmin and others became more and more powerful and more and more unfair, Xu Damao keenly felt that something was wrong. In this group, he became an old man.

After Xu Damao felt something was wrong, he ran away immediately.

The island was big enough. Wang Jianmin and others lived by the sea, so Xu Damao prepared to run to the other side of the desert island or the center of the desert island to seek survival.

Qin Huairu had been watching Xu Damao's group. Seeing Xu Damao run, Qin Huairu also followed Xu Damao and ran.

Although Qin Huairu didn't understand why Xu Damao ran, Qin Huairu believed in Xu Damao's wisdom and believed that Xu Damao wouldn't do such an unwise thing.

"Xu Damao, why did you run?" Qin Huairu asked after catching up with Xu Damao.
