Chapter 13 Lingquan can satisfy the hunger
"Go into the mountains, mother, let's go into the mountains and hide." As soon as the boss spoke, he gritted his teeth and pulled the reins, then turned the cow's head and went down the village road.
Nowadays, the river bed has dried out and is stronger than stone, and the carriage's crooked movement does not hinder its progress.
In the car, Mrs. Wang hugged her two younger brothers and tightly grasped the bag of food. Her eyes were like knives and she looked at Ah Jiu and Niang from time to time.
Who can't see this look?
"There is really no good person in this family." Cai Lihua rolled her eyes and muttered. If she hadn't been afraid of wronging her daughter and had no memory of this era, she would have instigated the man to leave alone.
At this time, what came from Xinghua Village in the distance was not only the sound of horse hooves, but also endless screams. The sounds were howling and wailing, drifting down the wind.
Meng Shaokang Mou in front used all his strength to swing the bullwhip, making a crackling sound.
Luo Xiuying bit her lip, covered her face and started sobbing.
There was a bang.
"Ouch!"
Ah Jiu looked up and saw that the bullock cart had fallen into a ravine. The cart was lying on the spot. The sack, the old lady and the two children all fell to the ground.
The cow tried desperately to stand up, but unfortunately it was pressed down by a cart of things.
At this moment, everyone panicked, and the two women hurriedly went up to help him up. They were so in the dark that they couldn't even light a lantern for fear of attracting attention.
When the old lady was pulled out from under the sack in such a slanderous manner, she fainted without screaming.
"Grandma?" Ahjiu touched her nose and found that she was out of breath.
"My son." Luo Xiuying cried loudly and rushed over, holding the two crying children in her arms one by one:
"Shitou, Goudan, you two..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the road.
"Damn it, who the hell leaked the military plane? They ran pretty fast. Search along this road for me. Bring the women back to reward the officers and soldiers. Capture the men and join the army. Anyone who doesn't follow will be killed."
Behind them, the sound of scattered horse hooves could be heard on the village road, frightening everyone in the Meng family to the point where they dared not breathe.
Luo Xiuying bit her lip and covered the mouths of the two children, breathing heavily.
Until the sound of horse hooves gradually became farther and farther towards the south.
Ah Jiu then sat down on the ground and gasped.
At this moment, no one spoke, the air was so quiet that one could hear their own heartbeats, but everyone knew that the fear shrouded everyone's heart.
"I remember there is a cave inside, let's go there and hide for a while." Although Meng Shaode was rough, he was a scholar at heart, and he was rare and careful this time.
"Okay, Second Brother, Nan Xing, you two go and carry Mom over to feed her. We can unload the things in the car. Maybe they will come back soon."
Meng Shaokang had no intention of arguing with his siblings and their family.
The division of labor among the several people was clear, but Ah Jiu was too weak, so Meng Shaode forced the two of them to stay in the cave and not allow them to move.
The cave is not big, and there is a lot of animal excrement smell inside. It is enough for a large family to stay in the cave.
Ah Jiu did remember that her father had hunted before, so he knew the terrain of Qiming Mountain quite well.
After giving Ms. Wang some water, she was finally breathing. Luo Xiuying put down the water hose and looked at the general direction where the two women were sitting:
"Brothers and sisters, you two are so lucky." The voice contained a self-deprecating wry smile.
"Yeah, I think I'm quite lucky, but that little old woman is unkind." As she said that, Cai Lihua touched her daughter beside her. Her blessing was this precious girl.
"Ah? Little old lady...grandma?" Luo Xiuying repeated it carefully, but she didn't dare to say anything at that moment. She didn't dare if her siblings dared to scold her mother-in-law like this. She wouldn't have a good life if she was listened to.
"Then...how do you serve the second brother so obediently?"
Luo Xiuying stumbled and carefully changed the topic and asked.
"Serve?" Cai Lihua asked differently, "Serve him? Is it possible?"
"No, it's nothing."
Luo Xiuhua waved her hands differently and was too embarrassed to continue asking.
Ah Jiu didn't interrupt, her mind was full of how to solve the problem of eating. A person with Ah Nai's temperament did what she said.
You can't kill her with just one stone: "Mom, are you hungry?" Ah Jiu thought that while she was unconscious, she would get some food to deal with her. By the time she woke up, it would be too late to make a fuss.
Cai Lihua's pupils shrank, and then she remembered that her daughter and she hadn't eaten for four days, and she held the handful of wood bones in her arms with pain in her heart:
"Poor Ah Jiu, you haven't eaten for four days. You must be starving. It's your mother who made you suffer."
Ah Jiu was shocked, she wasn't hungry, she was just worried about her mother.
She subconsciously touched her belly. It seemed that she hadn't eaten in four days. Why didn't she feel hungry?
Could it be that water?
