Chapter 169 The father who sells his son and daughter 11
"Hurry! Children, you go into the cave quickly and don't worry about the horses."
The sky seemed to be leaking, and it was pouring with heavy rain.
This is the first rain in more than two years of drought! People have taken out containers at home to fill them.
The rain fell so fast and hard that by the time Yunfei found the cave, his horse was already wet.
He held an umbrella and asked Mrs. Qin to take the children down and quickly walked into the cave.
The rain made his whole body wet. He was afraid that the horse would get wet, and it couldn't enter the cave. Yunfei could only take out a big umbrella like that used for setting up stalls from the space, insert it into the soil, and bury it to fix it.
good.
In the deep mountains and old forests, you can't meet a living person by chance.
The main reason is that horses are their important means of transportation. If they die, the family of four will have to walk.
Now, even if he used an umbrella to block the rain, Yunfei still felt uneasy, but he could only resign himself to fate.
"Master, please change out of your wet clothes quickly so you don't catch a cold."
Mrs. Qin hurriedly came over to help him undress and take off his belt. Yunfei waved his hand and refused, walked aside and took out a pile of dry firewood from the space.
"You light a fire. Don't let the cold get to the children. I'll change nearby." Yunfei walked to the innermost part of the cave and built a temporary dressing room with bamboo sticks.
After changing, go back to the fire to help and take out the pot to cook some hot noodles.
A family of four sat on four benches, warming themselves by the fire and watching the heavy rain outside.
Qin's eyebrows were soft, and her tone was full of longing for the future, "If there is a spring rain, there will be hope for this year's crops."
"I hope so."
Yunfei is not optimistic about this. Severe droughts are often accompanied by floods and plagues.
There are so many rotting corpses on this road, washed away by rain, and flowed into the river...
But there was nothing he could do to solve this problem. In this drought, war, and disaster, there was no place in Apocalypse that didn't have one or two corpses on the road.
How can there be so many people free to help strangers collect the bones?
…………
Yao Qiyue listened to her father and mother quietly. After confirming that this was a father possessed by a family fairy, her hatred was hidden or dissipated.
"Be careful as it's hot." Yun Fei handed her a boiled egg in a bowl.
"Thank you dad."
Yunfei renamed the two children. The eldest daughter was named Yao Qiyue, and the nickname was Tuantuan.
Erdan’s name is Yao Qiyuan and her nickname is Yuanyuan.
Mrs. Qin felt that something was wrong with Yunfei naming his daughter's middle character the same as his son's.
After all, the emphasis in this era was that women were not allowed to enter the family tree, nor were they allowed to be of the same generation as men.
What Yunfei said at the time was, "It's just a title. What's wrong with children from the same family using the same name? The girl is also a bloodline of our Yao family."
With just such a word, Mrs. Qin stopped saying anything. Of course, the main reason was that she would not object to what her man said.
When you marry, you obey your husband; when your husband dies, you obey your son.
This was also the reason why she felt sorry for Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan before, but she didn't dare to resist and could only pray to Yao Chunlin.
…………
Mrs. Qin handed the eggs in the bowl to Yunfei, "Master, I won't eat this, you can."
She didn't know how much food the people in front of her had, and was afraid that they would eat all the food.
If their existence drags him down, will they be abandoned by him? After all, her husband-in-law and his biological blood can give up.
What's more, the three of them, mother and son, have nothing to do with this person.
"No need to ask around, I still have some here, feel free to eat."
The children were not very good at using chopsticks when eating noodles, so Qin fed Tuan Tuan while Yun Fei fed Yuanyuan.
"In another month, we should be able to reach Donglin. By then we can buy a small house in the county and do some small business, so we don't have to worry."
Listening to Yunfei's description, the eyes of mother and son were full of longing.
It was as if I had already seen that day.
After eating, Yunfei asked them to sleep first while he kept watch.
The cave was too small and it was impractical to make beds, so we just put some dry straw and spread a layer of quilts for them to sleep.
………
Late at night, Yunfei, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly heard the neighing of horses and the sound of horse hooves. He quickly got up and held an umbrella and went out to put away the big umbrella.
The horse, which was sleeping leisurely just now, was suddenly drenched in the rain.
The horse can die, but this kind of modern thing cannot be revealed.
The pots and pans in the cave were also put away, leaving only the fire and a few sweet potatoes to be roasted and eaten tomorrow.
The quilt is dark gray and has no special color except that it is thicker.
Sure enough, what he worried about came true.
The sound of horse hooves went up the mountain, occasionally mixed with the sound of voices.
"The rain is getting heavier. Go up the mountain and find a cave to rest."
"Butler! My little master is very hot." came the woman's anxious voice.
"Butler, look! There is fire and there are people there! There is also a cave."
"Let's go! Let's go up and have a look."
After confirming that they were talking about him, Yunfei gently shook Qin Shi awake and said, "My dear, someone is coming. You will act accordingly later!"
If they come with bad intentions, you can take the children away while I hold them back; if I gain the upper hand, just hide and protect the children."
"Master!" Mrs. Qin nervously held his hand, her eyes full of fear.
Yunfei patted her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here! Protect the child and remember what I told you."
After finishing speaking, he picked up a Tang Dao and walked to the cave, waiting for the arrival of the group of uninvited guests.
In troubled times, Yunfei, who only possesses great strength and fancy legs, is not sure which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
So he taught Qin countless times how she should walk the road ahead if something happened to him unfortunately.
The clothes on the mother and son's bodies were layered, and each of them had banknotes hidden on their bodies.
Even the ordinary hairband on the head actually has a thin gold chain sewn into the middle.
However, every time he said it, Ms. Qin seemed to resist and didn't want to face reality.
On the contrary, little Yao Qiyue listened carefully.
…………
A quarter of an hour later, the group of people arrived in front of the cave.
There were three horses in total, and on one horse sat a young guard.
Let a middle-aged man sit alone on a horse.
Another horse is a woman with an unconscious child in her arms.
Even with this combination, Yunfei still did not relax his vigilance.
The three people on the opposite side are all good at martial arts.
This is what Yunfei was sure of at first glance.
"Hello, brother, it's raining heavily outside, the sky is dark, and our young master has a fever. Do you think you can let us have a rest? We'll leave at dawn!" The middle-aged man stepped forward and asked politely, cupping his fists.
Yunfei didn't know if there was a cave nearby, and it was true that there was no dry firewood to light the fire.
The child couldn't see clearly in the dark, but his eyes were indeed closed.
In the end, he did not directly conflict with the people on the opposite side and moved the entrance of the cave out of the way. "The cave is not big. My wife and children are also there. Let's take half of it each."
"Thank you, brother." The middle-aged man dismounted happily and handed the horse to the young man.
