"They are all dead! Such a small child will not be spared." Lu Hua kept wiping her tears. After last night's battle, she became much stronger, but she was still made sad and crying by these tragic scenes.
She is a mother who really cannot bear to see her child die tragically.
"Dad, I'm scared." Sanya, the youngest, cried loudly.
"Come, daddy, hug you." Chang Zhong, carrying a large package on his back, struggled to pick up Sanya.
The two little ones, Chang left and Chang right, also clamored to be hugged. Chang Zhong could only comfort the two children with gentle words and stretched out a hand to hold them.
Fu Manman looked at the corpses on the ground, many of which were children. She looked away sadly and refused to look, but there were corpses everywhere, forcing her to face them.
This is war, and the victims are all civilians.
The Fu siblings were silent all the way, and everyone was deeply shocked.
Finally I found an open space with few bodies.
Chang Zhong put down Sanya and his baggage and went to dig a hole. He wanted to bury as many poor people as he could who had died nearby, lest these people be eaten by wild wolves.
Fu Qiang and Fu An also went to help, while Fu Manman and Fu Shuangshuang packed their luggage.
"Sister, look, she has been following us." Fu Shuangshuang pointed to a little girl hiding behind a tree.
This seems to be the girl she saved at night, why did she follow her here?
"Come here." Fu Manman waved to the little girl hiding behind the tree.
The little girl had timid eyes and a large amount of blood on her dark and thin face. She walked out from behind the tree. When Fu Manman saw her appearance, his heart trembled.
This child is about the same age as Fu Shuangshuang. He looks about seven or eight years old. He is barefoot and wears adult clothes, which are in tatters and loosely wrapped. His legs and arms exposed outside the clothes are as thin as a stick.
There was blood all over his body.
This look is really miserable.
The little girl came over, knelt down in front of Fu Manman, nodded to Fu Manman, and murmured, "Thank you, sister, for saving me. Thank you, sister, for saving me."
"Stop smoking now! Get up!" Fu Manman hurriedly helped the little girl up, feeling very distressed.
This head is broken, why is this body so ice-cold?
Fu Manman laughed, covered the little girl's hands, and said distressedly: "Little sister, do you still have a family?"
The little girl shook her head, "My parents were killed by the Da Zi soldiers, my brother was raped, and my brother starved to death. I have no family anymore!" The little girl said with tears streaming down her face.
On the side, Fu Shuang's eyes were red and he cried: "My parents are also dead."
Then both girls started crying.
Fu Manman feels heavy. This is not an isolated case. There have been too many such things along the way.
There are too many pitiful people, and many times she will automatically block herself and put away her bad intentions. No matter how capable she is of doing great things, even if the Holy Mother's heart is bursting, she still doesn't have the head and six arms to save the common people.
If you can't take care of your own brothers and sisters, how can you take care of others?
"Then why are you following us? Little Beiyang King has repulsed the Xidi Army. The city gate will be opened soon. You can go into the city to make a living." Fu Manman put away his kindness and gave the little girl some advice.
Minglu.
Fu Shuangshuang wiped away her tears and said, "My sister is right. Go to the city gate quickly and don't follow us."
The little girl knelt down on the ground again and cried: "I'm afraid, I have no family anymore. Please let me follow you. I will serve you as a cow and a horse. I don't want to eat. I just want to let you."
I'll follow you."
The war caused great psychological harm to this little girl. Now she wholeheartedly believes in Fu Manman who saved her. As long as she follows her, she can survive.
"Sister, she is so pitiful!" Fu Shuangshuang was young and easily moved.
Fu Manman frowned slightly. She also felt sorry for this little girl, but she couldn't take care of so many people by herself.
"You'd better go!" Fu Manman took a few Snickers bars from his bag and put two small bags of biscuits into the girl's hands, "These are for food, take them and go into the city!"
The girl didn't even look at these things, she just threw them on the ground. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Fu Manman and choked up: "I'll find something to eat by myself. Just let me follow you, okay, sister, please."
This girl is relying on herself. What happened last night stimulated her too much, and now she has identified herself.
Fu Manman knew that this person couldn't be driven away, so he looked helpless and said, "Whatever you want! But I have rules here."
"Miss, tell me, I will listen to you." The little girl immediately changed her mind and regarded Fu Manman as her master.
Fu Manman didn't care about the title. She saw that although this girl was young, she was able to be self-reliant, so she just followed her. Anyway, she was not short of food, but it was true that she was short of people.
If she is someone who is sensible and obedient, then it would be better to recognize her as a younger sister.
"My hands and feet here must be diligent, my eyes sharp, and my mouth tight. No matter what you see or hear, don't ask, and you're not allowed to tell anyone. Understand!" Fu Manman educated with a straight face.
The little girl opened her eyes, which were red from crying, and stared straight at Fu Manman. There was joy and life in her eyes, and she nodded desperately, "I don't ask anything, I don't say anything, I just listen to you."
"Okay, then just follow me. What's your name?" A faint smile appeared on Fu Manman's face.
"My name is Lin Qiaoer." The little girl replied.
Very good. Fu Manman picked up the biscuits and candies on the ground and handed them to her, "These are all for food. Here they are for you. Keep a close guard on yourself and don't let others see them."
Lin Qiaoer refused, shook her head and said, "I can't have it, I'll dig up the grass roots myself and eat them."
These days, having food in hand is so precious. Lin Qiaoer is very grateful to this sister for taking her in. She can't share their food, and she doesn't ask for food to stay. She can take care of herself.
After being rejected again, Fu Manman was infected by the little girl's tenacity.
"Take it! Since you are following me, you must listen to me." Fu Manman stuffed something into her hand and his tone became more serious.
Lin Qiaoer did not refuse this time. She took these precious things and kowtowed to thank her.
Fu Manman was still busy with many things, so he stopped caring about her and asked Fu Shuangshuang to find an old dress for her to wear.
She took the milk powder, kettle, and glass bottle from her bag and started to prepare milk powder for Little Mao Dan.
Now that she has done these things, everyone has become accustomed to it. Except for Fu Shuangshuang, who has just returned, and Lin Qiaoer, who is new here, both of them opened their eyes wide and looked at the strange things in surprise.
Lin Qiaoer didn't say anything, lowered her head hurriedly, and started looking for something to do. The lady said that if you see something, don't talk about it, don't ask.
She didn't see anything, she didn't say anything, she didn't ask anything.
"Sister, what are all these?" Fu Shuangshuang stared curiously with her big beautiful eyes.
