The old woman bared her mouthful of yellow teeth again and said briefly, "I was hungry, so I came out looking for something to eat. I only found a few pieces of raw meat."
This left everyone from the Yao Residence staring at one another again, and soon many fell silent.
The old woman had likely been hiding somewhere before, but the District-Seizing War had already gone on for six days and six nights. She must have gone hungry.
Moreover, she had trouble moving around, which was why she had been unable to find anything edible.
Sikong Jing said no more. Instead of picking up the raw meat at his feet, now caked with mud, he took out dried provisions and water from his storage space and handed them to the old woman.
With a gulp, she immediately began wolfing them down...
Moved by pity, Sikong Jing asked, "Grandma, where is your family?"
Her family must not have been by her side. Otherwise, she would not have dragged her utterly immobile legs out to search for food.
Her body trembled slightly. The old woman stopped swallowing, raised her head, and replied, "My husband is an old bastard. He left me behind and went away alone. I reckon he won't come back for me either. Hehehehe..."
As she spoke, she let out several strange, chuckling laughs. Endless pain could be heard within them, before she resumed swallowing the dried food.
Everyone looked at one another and remained silent, their hearts heavy.
There were likely many, many such cases throughout the Chaos Districts. The District-Seizing War was a game for the strong; some ordinary people truly had no way to take everyone in their household with them...
But Chaos District One was relatively wealthy. Her husband had likely abandoned her on purpose.
