Xu Chunshan's night of vigil finally passed peacefully.
Dawn breaks, and gray shadows are wiped out from the sky.
It's almost dawn.
There was movement one after another in the campsite, and people were tidied up and started to continue on their way.
Old Man Xu was thinking about hurrying up, so he called everyone early today, and while others were still packing up, they had already started their trip.
Stepping on the dawn light, we headed north.
After walking a few miles, it was still dark, and when we passed a forest, we could vaguely hear people inside crying, yelling, and cursing, saying that all the dry food was gone, the cattle were lost, and so on.
After hearing the general idea, Old Man Xu sighed, turned around and asked his son to stop shouting, and asked everyone to hurry up and go without any further delay.
Xu Chunshan walked beside his wife and children, and also whispered all the movements he saw at night, which made Zhang Xiulan hold on to Xu Yinyin tightly.
Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted: "Her father, you should wake up more at night. My daughter is sleeping deeply, so you should keep an eye on her."
Xu Chunshan couldn't help but nod. That was natural. He had already decided that starting from tonight, he and his son would stay up until midnight alone, not for others but also for the sake of his wife and daughter.
After this thing is stolen, who knows if it will be stolen from someone else?
Although there were people watching the night, they couldn't hear or see the movement in the distance.
He had to keep a closer eye to feel at ease.
Today's sun is a bit brighter than in the past. After midnight, even though Old Man Xu was unwilling to walk a little longer, he had to wave his hand when he saw that everyone in his group was pale and weak.
, indicating to rest in place.
Xu Yinyin had been paying attention to her old man's hand. When she saw the hand raised, she immediately stopped and refused to take another step forward. She responded positively, took half a step towards the slope down the road, and stood on the spot.
He sat down on his butt.
"Oh my god."
The feet were as heavy as if they were tied with two big iron balls. Not to mention the soreness on the soles of the feet.
"Mom, my feet seem to be blistered."
As soon as Zhang Xiulan heard this, she quickly grabbed one of her daughter's feet, took off her shoe and looked at it.
The weather was hot, and my feet were wrapped in shoes and socks, which had not been released from morning to night. As soon as I took them off, the smell was gone.
Zhang Xiulan took a breath, but she didn't dislike it at all. She held up her daughter's little feet and turned them left and right to look at them.
"The heel is red, here on the little toe, on the side of the palm, one...two...four, there are six small blisters on a pair of feet, which is not bad. The blisters are still small and not easy to pick. Besides,
We won’t use any medicine to apply it if we choose this, my dear daughter, let’s bear with it, ah.”
I felt very distressed when I was talking about it. When my daughter was a child, although her family was not rich, her mother cared for her and never asked her to do any work in the fields. Later, when she grew up, the family conditions were better, not to mention two fingers.
If you don't get involved in the good times, you can only do simple housework at most, but you have never made any great efforts or suffered any hardships.
After walking violently for the past few days, I feel pain everywhere, which is really uncomfortable.
With so many blisters now, it would be better if they could take a good rest, but they all knew that it was impossible to take a good rest.
Xu Chunshan looked at the side and said: "Bear it, where are you going? When these blisters are worn out, new ones will grow, and they will still be blood blisters.
Repeatedly, both feet are no longer in good shape, and that’s what’s going to kill you.”
Xu Yinyin's face turned pale when she heard this, and she was about to cry. She had already felt sour and refreshed during the military training. This was just walking, but it was several times more powerful than the various events of military training. The most terrible thing was that this was just an appetizer and a main course.
Not on it yet.
Zhang Xiulan couldn't help but glare at him, "Why are you trying to scare your daughter?"
"I'm giving her a vaccination in advance so that she can be mentally prepared, right?" Xu Chunshan also felt distressed in his heart, but he was tough and would not say it out loud. Instead, he asked his wife, "How are your feet? Are they blistered?"
Zhang Xiulan shook her head, "I'm fine, just sore and not blistered yet."
Xu Dajun was waiting for his father to ask him. His daughter and daughter-in-law had already asked him, so it was time to ask his son, right?
But Xu Chunshan didn't look at him at all. When he saw Mrs. Xu hiding behind the cart and unloading the sacks, he got up and headed over there, "You guys have a rest and don't move. I'll go get some food."
Xu Dajun curled his lips, glanced at his sister's red feet, and sighed.
It would be great if they had a cow and a car, so they could take turns getting in the car easily and slowly.
Unfortunately not.
Just as Xu Dajun was uttering regrets, he heard a group of people staying in the forest diagonally across from them crying.
After listening carefully, it turned out that the family's cow had been walking for several days. It was tired, thirsty and hungry. The cow was not able to hold up and died.
The family spent several years frugally and saved up to buy a cow, which cost a lot of money. It is sad enough that the cow died like this.
After feeling sad, the man turned around and took a kitchen knife and began to peel the skin and take out the meat.
Vaguely, Xu Dajun could hear some people around him secretly preparing to make a move.
A cow is so big that it can feed many people.
It’s too bad to have a cow.
Xu Dajun shook his head, sighed, looked at both sides a few more times, and then slowly looked back.
People are out of sight and out of mind, but they don’t need eyes or ears.
In the past two days, he had heard too many sneaky things, and he was feeling tired.
Xu Chunshan came back with the steamed buns and handed one to his son. Seeing that he looked in a daze, he couldn't help but said: "What are you doing, are you so hungry? Eat it quickly. Your mother feels sorry for you, so I'll give you a whole one."
Xu Dajun came back to his senses. Before he could hear the words clearly, he subconsciously picked up Wowotou and felt a blazing gaze. He raised his eyes and saw his father staring at him with burning eyes.
This look...
Xu Dajun's back tightened, and he bowed his head subconsciously, "What are you doing?" Okay, he didn't offend his father, let alone his sister, right?
Xu Chunshan glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "I told you to eat quickly. I feel sorry for you, so I'll give you a whole one."
Just eat, why are you staring at him like that?
Xu Dajun is particularly sensitive to his father's small scenes.
What about a whole one?
What whole thing?
He subconsciously looked at his mother and sister's hands, and saw that both of them only had the smaller half in their hands. Then he looked at his father's hand, which was slightly larger than the other half, and he guessed it was the other half of the smaller half.
But in his hand, it was still the same as before, a whole piece as big as a fist.
Okay, he finally understood the little look in his father's eyes.
"Father, tell me straight. Why do you have to stare at me and tell me to eat quickly? A grown man is always unhappy like this..."
His hand movements were quick and he broke the wowotou in his hand into two halves, then broke one half in half again and handed half to each of Zhang Xiulan and Xu Yinyin.
But when he handed it to the air, he was stopped by Xu Chunshan's big hand, "What are you doing? I want you to eat your milk! What are you doing to your mother and sister?"
Xu Dajun was speechless, but seeing that his father's eyelids were about to twitch, he looked to the side and saw his father staring at him.
After realizing it, he reacted and said loudly: "It's such a big wowotou, I can't finish it. My sister can eat it, so give her some!"
