She was so tired from walking that she no longer wanted to live, and her second son carried her daughter-in-law on her back for more than two hours.
Li Qin was also embarrassed and rubbed her head, "Mom, I didn't expect it to be so serious."
"Okay, don't be stubborn later. Your father just said that we can rest here for a while, and our cow happened to be roasted. Fortunately, the knives are there, and there is a tree next to it. Your father said to make a cart and come out
, don’t think about it without wheels, just pull it on the ground and walk as long as it can reach Hefeng Town."
The shouts of a group of children were heard not far away. When the three of them looked, it turned out that a fire had been set up over there, and Wanba and Gao Er were handling their cattle.
Seeing that there is meat to eat, this is a very happy thing for the children. They forget about being tired for a moment, and they circle around the men and jump up and down.
Mrs. Tian beat her legs and sighed. She felt sorry for her cow. She had saved money for several years before buying it.
"How can you just be like the boss? What the hell is this?"
There was a small stream where they stayed. At this moment, beside the stream, the grandfather and grandson were also talking about the strong wind.
As Old Man Qi came all the way, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. "My dear, you said that no one in Beiyang Town has told us about the strong wind. Are you just deliberately trying to see us suffer?"
Qi Bao'er couldn't see her, and her father was worried. He was squatting by the river with the collar behind his neck, washing his hands.
He didn't turn around and said: "Well, Master, we must have guessed wrong. Didn't the county magistrate say that we have to turn back anyway? Maybe he said that we would encounter a strong wind.
I think they learned from their contact with us that we didn’t know that we would encounter strong winds when leaving Beiyang Town, nor did we know that the official road would have twists and turns.
There is nothing left, and we may still encounter strong winds if we go forward. If we don’t follow our normal thinking, we will turn around and go back to Beiyang Town.”
After hearing this, the old man Qi became very angry, "Where are the three or four hundred people? In such a strong wind, we can't just blow everything away, but where are the people?"
Qi Baoer stood up and waved his hands, "Sir, it's meaningless for you to say that. Where are we staying now and who are we meeting."
Those who don't want the family will flee with their entire family, isn't it because there is a man called a general who is slaughtering the people? What does it matter if he meets an official who doesn't care about the lives of the people on the way?
"Sir, don't blame me for speaking harshly. They want to keep the refugees here just to mine iron ore in the future.
As we left, there seemed to be some figures from behind. It was hard for them to stop us. Since they didn’t know the exact figures behind us, it would be wisest not to flatter or offend.
It doesn't matter whether we all died in the strong wind or whether we insisted on going to Hefeng Town. After all, after leaving Beiyang Town, they will lose so many people whether we die or live.
On the contrary, if someone can survive the strong wind and turn back, if they can turn back, they will leave one more person behind.
Sir, imagine if we didn't insist on moving forward but turned back. After entering Beiyang Town, the people in the town came to help us and we didn't know about the iron mine. Do you think we would be very touched?
Do you think it is a good idea to stay in Beiyang Town?
When you meet other refugees in the future, is it possible that you will help lobby them?
So we need to tell you in advance what we are going to do. If we still insist on leaving, won’t we think of a way?”
The experiences in the past ten days have been richer than those in most of my previous life. Old man Qi was already numb. He just sighed long and long after hearing this. He didn't yell "What's happening like this" or "I'm not human" like before.
Now these.
He just lamented: Although this journey was difficult, it was still too smooth for the purpose of escaping. The smoothness came so suddenly that even he felt confused and confused about the way forward.
Qi Bao'er took out a rice ball from his pocket and gave it to Old Man Qi: "Master, you still have the foresight to let me take the opportunity to collect most of our food."
The grain that was blown away from her family was actually only two bags on the surface of each cart, and the ones underneath were all corn cobs that had been rubbed into corn kernels.
When loading the truck, her father said that the thing was light and after being packed in a sack, we could also say that it was an uncut corn cob. It was not wasted by pulling the cob, and it could also be used as feed for cattle and horses.
Old man Qi smiled bitterly and took the rice dumpling. He held it in his sleeve obediently, and the rice dumpling was still warm.
"What kind of foresight did you have? I just thought that it would be easier if the cars and horses were lighter on the road. Besides, I don't worry about leaving food outside. I only feel at ease if I let you know."
Also, when we get to Hefeng Town, we are stopped and asked to investigate?
I don’t want to pretend to be a rich man again. Pretending to be rich once almost didn’t include our whole family.
I just thought, when I opened it and saw that it was just sticks inside, even if we have cows and horses, it wouldn’t be so eye-catching, right?”
I took a bite of the rice dumpling, which was filled with red dates and probably added sugar. It was very sweet. "Not to mention, although it is expensive, I am a real person."
There are enough ingredients, and red dates and sugar are not cheap.
"Master, where are they?" Qi Baoer handed over another pancake.
They borrowed it to wash their hands by the stream and eat secretly. Once the wind passed, there was no telling how many things were left in each family. Qi Bao'er couldn't take out the things casually anymore.
Qi Bao'er's pocket is just that big. In the past, it was fine. Car after car came one after another. No one in the family knew exactly how much stuff was packed in the car.
In the hands of Lao Qi's family is Old Man Qi, who is helping Qi Kang'an. In the hands of Lao Qi's family is Mrs. Tian, who is helping Ye Sanni.
It can be said that the people in Lao Qi's family are all big-hearted. Except for the four of them, no one has an accurate estimate of how many things the family has.
The two elders used to hide good things at home and only feed Qi Bao'er, so Qi Bao'er could always take out food from his pockets on the road, and they just regarded it as a small stove that the two elders opened for Qi Bao'er.
No matter how much Qi Baoer felt sorry for them, he would try to make small things for the big guys.
But now it can’t be done, so there are only two sacks, one sack of hard steamed buns and one sack of steamed buns. After setting off, the old lady Maeda gave them back just in case, and divided them into each of their hands. Qibaoer’s small pocket,
Where do you get the stuff you keep taking out?
"Don't worry, I'm not even hungry." Old Man Qi took the pancake, took one bite of rice ball and one bite of pancake, and finished it as quickly as possible.
Qi Bao'er thought about it. Their family was indeed not hungry for the time being. Everyone had about ten steamed buns and seven or eight steamed buns in their hands. Her steamed buns should be made firm, so she could eat one steamed bun and hold it for half a day.
When you are escaping, do you still want to get rich?
Looking at other houses, even the ones that had run out of grain had bought grain, but they also had no pots, and all they could do was chew raw corn kernels.
After the two of them went back, Qi Bao'er said that he wanted to do some peeing, but Qi Bao'er couldn't accompany him, so he asked Mrs. Tian to accompany him instead.
