Chapter 5 The most precious thing to flee from famine is water
"But what?"
Meng Shaode seemed to have seen beautiful and delicious food.
"This girl is too thin. She has a red mole under her eyes. This girl's fate is not good."
"Ah?" Meng Shaode, who was almost crying, muttered: "You are a chef, when did you learn to read faces? It's true."
Then he rubbed his hands and looked at the unconscious Ah Jiu, which was very pleasing to the eye:
"This is our daughter. She is not sentimental. I noticed that she looks strangely pretty, but..."
The skinny face has a pair of surprisingly big eyes. Even if you close your eyes, you can tell by looking at the narrow corners of the eyes, but the neck is so thin that it seems that the shoulders cannot support the huge head.
The couple frowned, and Cai Lihua murmured pitifully: "Why are you so thin, ugh..."
"Yeah, I think so too, but I'm just a little thinner. He's quite handsome. It's up to you. You're studying to be a cook. Take good care of him from now on, and you'll look good if you're white and fat."
Meng Shaode grinned like a big toad.
When did this happen?
The couple immediately realized that it was inappropriate. Cai Lihua went up and gave Meng Shaode a mouthful:
"Hurry up and move her home. The sun is so strong that you want to kill our daughter."
"Yes, yes. My wife is right." Meng Shaode ignored the words and easily picked up a girl who was fifteen years old and weighed more than forty pounds.
Ah Jiu arrived at Majia Village, fifty miles away, but why had the environment changed? It didn’t look like Majia Village back then. Why was there so much green grass?
There are mountains in the distance, and the green mountains stretch to the sky.
Puff puff puff, there is a sound.
Ah Jiu took a look at the dusk and saw that there was a water hole as big as a bend in the grass.
Water? Ah Jiu couldn't care less, so she rushed forward, held it with both hands, and put it into her mouth.
The water was so sweet, Ah Jiu thought it tasted like a god, and her belly felt full.
There was an indescribable feeling of spirituality in my body, and my whole body became clear and powerful.
Only then did Ah Jiu take a closer look. She drank all the water in two long gulps, and only pebbles were exposed below.
Ah Jiu felt a cool feeling in her throat, and suddenly opened her eyes, and two pairs of four eyes appeared on her face.
Those eyes were filled with hunger and joy, as if she had been placed on the dining table.
A burst of fright ran through my body, and I suddenly wanted to sit up, but my father held me down:
"Jiu'er, you must be hungry."
"Yes, yes, Ah Jiu, you are thirsty, Mom... No, Mom has some water, please drink some first."
The couple held a water bag, one of them, and a piece of coarse grain cake, and they all poked Ah Jiu in the face, especially the water spout of the water bag, which almost went into his nostrils.
Ah Jiu looked at Meng Shaode and then at Cai Lihua. She didn't come back to her senses for a moment. Didn't she already arrive at Majiazhuang and drink water? Why... is she at home?
Hey, that's not right. She doesn't feel thirsty at all now, and she feels full. That doesn't seem to be a dream. Otherwise, how could the sense of reality be so strong?
"Quick, have a bite of the grain cake." Meng Shaode smiled happily from ear to ear, and looked at each other with the woman, full of expectation.
Ah Jiu then saw the chaff cake under the bridge of his nose and shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
"Ah? Why aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten or drank water for three days." Meng Shaode knew this, and now he didn't regret it for the original owner?
Cai Lihua looked at Meng Shaode in surprise:
"What are you talking about? Three days? Three days without giving our daughter anything to eat or drink? You..."
The more Cai Lihua watched, the more she liked it. She and Meng Shaode were husband and wife in their previous life, but there was an earthquake. When she just woke up, she appeared in the ditch at the east end of the village.
But when I opened my eyes, I was really frightened by the scene around me.
Fortunately, although her man has become uglier, he is still her man at heart. He just went to find her to save her from the mass grave.
No, after getting a daughter again, no matter how hard the life is, the couple doesn't feel the pain anymore.
Now, when I suddenly learned that the man had not given his precious daughter anything to eat or drink, he immediately smashed the water bag in his hand:
"Look, I won't destroy you today."
"Oh, don't let it go to waste." Meng Shaode covered his head with a fierce look on his face, like a escaping mouse, and felt sorry for the hard-earned water.
Ah Jiu's eyes were as big as copper bells. Is his mother crazy? She dared to hit her father.
