8. The sensible little bun
Oh, damn this era, this damn... Gu Lan couldn't hold back the complaints in her heart. No matter how she earned it in her life, she should complain less. Maybe God would give her some opportunities or something.
Getting back to the subject, since the Ji family was going south, Gu Lan immediately decided to go west. It didn't matter where she went. In short, she definitely didn't want to run into the Ji family. She was afraid that she would go crazy with such a top-notch family member.
Fortunately, she still has the identity documents and household registration certificates of his family of three, so that no matter where she goes, she can prove that she is not a refugee, and her treatment will be a little better.
I'm afraid this is the only good thing the Ji family has done.
After all, there was a lot of uncertainty in fleeing, so on the first night before fleeing, even though Mr. Ji and Wang were unwilling to do so, Mr. Ji took the initiative and asked his sons to take the Wendie household registration certificates of their families with them.
What he was afraid of was an accident on the road, but now it was convenient for Gu Lan, who decided to thank his eight generations of ancestors.
Just like that, the mother and son began their difficult journey.
"Mom, where are we going? Are we going to find our grandparents?" Little Baozi looked at Gu Lan uneasily as he walked around. Deep down in his heart, he didn't want to go to his grandparents because they were bullying him and his mother.
"Do you want to find your grandparents?" Gulan stopped.
It's because she didn't think well. If Little Baozi had this wish, Gulan would have no choice but to change the route he had set before. After all, the child's opinion is also very important.
Little Baozi shook his head fiercely, fearing that his expression would be delayed and his mother would take him to find his grandparents.
"Mom, I don't like my grandparents, uncles and the rest. Mom, can we not go find them?" Little Baozi looked at Gu Lan hopefully.
Looking at the speed at which the child shook his head, Gu Lan was really afraid that the thin neck would not be able to support the little bun's head that was out of proportion to his body.
When talking about grandparents and little Baozi, there was deep uneasiness and rejection in their eyes, which made Gulan feel sad involuntarily.
Even if the family was a little nice to the child, the child would not be so upset and repelled.
Gu Lan knelt down and held her cheap son in her arms, and said in what she thought was the gentlest voice, "An An, don't be afraid! If An An doesn't want to go, then she won't go. Mother, please listen to An An, okay?"
"Well, mother isn't going." Little Baozi nodded.
"Okay, we won't go." Gu Lan let go of the little bun and smiled brightly at the child.
Then, the mother and son continued on their way, and they kept talking as they walked.
"Mom, where are we going?" Little Baozi couldn't help but ask.
"What a little worry!" Gu Lan stopped again, tapped the tip of the little bun's nose and smiled.
"We are not going south, we are going west, but I don't know where the west is. Is An An afraid?"
Gulan Rourou, who was holding Little Baozi's hand and continuing to walk, said that even though she had the memory of the original person, she really didn't know. Even if the original person was an ordinary peasant woman, she couldn't know too much.
Facing the unknown road ahead, Gulan didn't know what difficulties or dangers she would encounter, so she wasn't prepared to hide it from Little Baozi.
"As long as mother is here, An An is not afraid of anything." Little Baozi shook his head, his eyes were full of determination and maturity.
"An'an is awesome! An'an is not afraid, and neither is my mother." Gu Lan looked at the little bun with admiring eyes, making the little bun look a little shy and threw himself directly into his mother's arms.
Gu Lan deliberately took the opportunity to leave a mark on Xiao Baozi's heart that he is great and not afraid of anything, so that Xiao Baozi will become more and more brave under her influence, and gradually change the feeling of being depressed under the long-term oppression of the Ji family.
Cowardly character.
Don't look at the little guy who is so cute now, that is, he is like this when he is around her. If there are outsiders, the little bun will return to his original shape and become a timid little guy. But now he is very good and can't eat one bite.
Big fat man, you have to come step by step.
Gulan has the memory of his original body, and the little bun has been consciously and slowly changing. It has obviously achieved initial results, which makes Gulan, a new mother, very happy.
She is also full of confidence in the future. The original person may not be able to do it, but she is Gulan and not the original person.
Her greatest advantage is that she has a persevering personality and an indestructible belief. She will definitely find a safe and warm place with Little Baozi.
The road ahead was bleak and without means of transportation, the mother and son could only rely on their legs to move forward with difficulty.
Perhaps she had been ill for too long and the people fleeing the famine had already gone a long way, or perhaps there were not many people fleeing this way she chose. In short, there were only twos and threes of people that could be seen along the way, which was not true.
many.
But this is exactly what Gulan wants. Fewer people means less disputes. Although her physical illness has improved now, she is still a weakling in essence. If she is stronger, she can be better protected.
Little Baozi is not afraid anymore.
Along the way, except for a few people who were fleeing, what they saw the most was the scorched and cracked land, the weeds stripped down to their roots, the trees stripped of their bark and leaves, and the incompletely covered skeletons.
Let alone water, I didn’t even see any green color.
Maybe there were once, but they were all collected by the people who fled.
Gu Lan really didn't expect the disaster to be so serious. Although she had already made some progress in her heart, seeing it with her own eyes still deeply touched her.
Every piece of land has probably been plowed countless times. In this kind of environment, finding food is a struggle.
In such an environment, even without everything in the light curtain, Gu Lan could still imagine how little Baozi struggled to grow up, and the suffering he endured was probably beyond her imagination.
Despite this, the mother and son on the road would go to the forest to look for food during their breaks, thinking that there might be something they missed.
At the same time, Gu Lan consciously trained her and Xiao Baozi's physical fitness along the way, and taught Xiao Baozi Sanda and Juntiquan.
Gu Lan was vague about the question about the little bun.
Children are still easy to fool.
Just exercise and walk towards the west.
Gu Lan may not be good at other things, but she still has a good sense of direction as she is often on missions.
He took the little bun and walked straight in the west direction.
Just like that, a few days passed quickly.
Gulan didn't know how far they had gone, maybe not that far. After all, the mother and son were not on the road non-stop.
During the day, he was on the road, but before night fell, Gulan would definitely take the little buns to find a place to rest at night, which was usually a relatively remote place that did not attract attention.
Seeing that the sun was setting again that day, Gu Lan pulled the little bun and stopped.
She used her excellent eyesight to scan around her, looking for a place to rest at night.
Then Gulan frowned. The terrain where they stopped today seemed a little bad.
It was surrounded by bare loess, and there wasn't even a dam or hill, let alone a ruined temple.
This is not a good place to rest. Not only is it not sheltered enough, there is no place to block the wind.
There was no other way. Gulan picked up the tired little bun and prepared to speed up through this place. Maybe it would be better ahead.
"Son, please be more honest, mother, hurry up, otherwise we will have to spend the night here tonight."
Little Baozi, who was originally afraid that his mother would be tired and wanted to come down and leave on his own, immediately stopped struggling and cooperated when he heard what his mother said.
Seeing how sensible his son was, Gu Lan smiled knowingly, hugged the little bun and hurried on as fast as he could.
Thanks to her conscious exercise during this period, her strength has increased a lot. In addition, the little bun is so thin that Gulan doesn't feel too tired holding him for the time being.
What Gu Lan didn't know was that because she wanted to hurry up in her heart, she would move very far every time she took a step, and she disappeared from this place in half a cup of tea. The speed was really weird.
In the same way, if you use running, the speed may be even more amazing.
At this time, Gu Lan didn't notice it at all, but she was very happy that before dusk came, she finally walked out of the previous place and found a place with trees and hills.
After some selection, they found a depression under the hill. It was not big enough to accommodate the mother and son, but it could block some wild wind.
When he arrived here, Gulan had already observed it. The surroundings were quiet. Not to mention people, he didn't even see a bird. There was no need to worry about safety.
Now that I have found a place to rest, I feel more at ease.
Then the mother and son began to pick up dry firewood from the surrounding area. A fire was a must. Now that it was autumn, the nights were slowly getting colder. A fire would also keep them warmer.
As usual, Gu Lan put some of them into the space while picking them up, thinking that if you add up a little, you will make a big difference, regardless of whether it can be used in the future. There is always no harm in being prepared.
As before, nothing was found except dead branches.
After finding enough firewood and returning to the place where he rested at night, Gulan quickly lit up the fire.
Then he took out a broken can from the package, sat on the fire, poured some water in and boiled it, and took out a few pieces of black bread from the package and soaked it in the boiling water, and the couple ate it while it was hot.
Although he couldn't eat completely, he could still eat seven to eight percent full. This made the little bun extremely happy. He said in childish words that he hoped it would be like this every day in the future, which made the mother-in-law Gulan very happy.
It was heartbreaking.
There was food in his stomach, and after walking for a whole day, the little bun started to feel sleepy, and his head was pounding little by little.
Seeing this, Gu Lan quickly spread the withered grass he had picked up on the ground, and spread all the shabby clothes in the package on the withered grass. He put the sleepy little bun on it and fell asleep in a short while.
Then he took out a military green marching quilt from the space and put it on Little Baozi's body. Perhaps he felt the warmth, and Little Baozi's expression became even more comfortable.
The next step was to make preparations. He added water and took out some bread. He also thought about taking out some quail eggs from the space.
Quail eggs look like bird eggs at first glance, and it's easy to fool Little Baozi even if he asks.
