Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Condemnation of Rice (2)

Xiao Lan didn't reply, he just wiped Wang Ya's face with a wet towel to sober her up a little, and then helped her put on her shoes and picked Wang Ya up from the bed, moving coherently and fluently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Ya, who was picked up, realized something, looked up and asked Xiao Lan, who was walking with her, and asked, "Grandpa, where are we going?"

Xiao Lan walked all the way to the hall, put the originally packed bamboo basket on his back, and then lifted Wang Ya up. But this time Wang Ya didn't follow, and noticed that Wang Ya was struggling, Xiao Lan had to explain while hugging: "If you want to eat mush, wait a minute, Grandpa will make it for you, and now Grandpa will take you up the mountain." ”

"What are you doing up the mountain? are you coming back?" Wang Ya asked curiously, without struggling, she was easily picked up by Xiao Lan, and Xiao Lan continued to walk outside the house.

Xiao Lan didn't speak before, it really scared her a little, grandpa was always smiling in front of her, and he didn't have such a serious look now, which made her feel very scared. Children are naturally sensitive and can sense that something bad is happening.

Xiao Lan also noticed that her demeanor and behavior were a little different from Wang Er, so she had to grin and explain to Wang Ya lovingly: "If you don't come back, you won't come back in the future." ”

"Why, Yaya, don't leave the house!" Hearing this, Wang Ya didn't follow and didn't let Xiao Lan hold her, she began to struggle in Xiao Lan's arms, kicking and shaking her hands all the time, almost making the things on the bamboo basket behind Xiao Lan fall off.

Xiao Lan didn't get angry, just put her down, planning to talk to her about it. He didn't want to drag Wang Ya out all the way, and then she burst into tears, letting the neighbors know about his "escape plan".

Xiao Lan watched and didn't speak, which made Wang Ya very scared and stopped shouting.

Seeing that Wang Ya had calmed down, Xiao Lan said to her word by word: "Either you go with Grandpa, or you stay here alone, you sleep alone at night, and no one makes you a paste to eat." ”

This is probably the thing that every child is most afraid of, being alone in an empty house, there is nothing to eat, how can Wang Ya agree. Thinking of such a picture, she was so sad that she was about to cry.

"Grandpa, don't you want Yaya?" asked Wang Ya pitifully

"No, no, no. Xiao Lan sighed, and after finishing speaking, she picked up Wang Ya again, patted her and comforted her, and explained to her, "Go with Grandpa obediently, and you will understand why in the future." ”

Now Wang Ya is still too young, she doesn't know anything. Even if you say it, you don't necessarily understand it, and if you do, you don't necessarily remember it.

She just happened to have a bad fate, encountered a special period, and was born in this family.

The child is still young, and willfulness can be forgiven.

Xiao Lan took Wang Ya and a basket of things, and she would definitely be caught if she went out from the front, so Xiao Lan could only sneak out the back door, cross the field, and walk into the back mountain, hiding her figure.

The area of the back mountain is very large, and Xiao Lan has to go through at least one day and one night, cross several mountains, and reach the next town before it is possible to stop and rest.

Until then, he had to go all the way and go all the way.

Along the way, Xiao Lan hugged Wang Ya and carried a basket of things on her back, which was a little unbearable. But he couldn't stop at all, he was afraid that the people behind him would catch up, after all, people who were so hungry that they lost their minds could do anything, and every time he was tired, he just adjusted the position of the bamboo basket and continued to walk forward.

It's the middle of summer, and it's getting dark early.

Xiao Lan walked for more than 4 hours before the sky completely darkened, and there was no light in the woods, and Xiao Lan couldn't seem to continue walking. After crossing almost two mountains, and estimating that they couldn't find this place, Xiao Lan decided to sleep in the woods for one night.

Finding a clearing, he found dead leaves and dead branches in his place, and lit a fire with matches. The fire burned, and the jumping light shone on Xiao Lan's aging and weather-beaten face, without any change in expression.

Without water, there is no water to boil at all, the drinking water that she brought is almost drunk by Xiao Lan, it is not enough to boil water to make a paste, and Wang Ya's teeth are not hard enough, Xiao Lan has to use a little warm water to try to make the cake soft and a little, otherwise she may not be able to eat anything tonight.

Xiao Lan expressed her guilt for the hot water she poured out before, it is a drought period now, and a little bit of water is very precious.

Knowing that she couldn't go home again, Wang Ya didn't ask any more about the mush, but just sat next to Xiao Lan very unhappily, hanging her head.

"Is Yaya going home again?Is it that you will never see Sister Huahua again?" Wang Ya thought of her little friend and said sullenly.

Xiao Lan bit the dough and answered her question expressionlessly: "It's okay if you can't see it." ”

Sister Huahua is a child from the next door, and when she was so hungry that she couldn't do it, Wang Er gave her a paste to eat, but as a result, she was known by her parents, and her parents reported it to the commune. Xiao Lan didn't have much feeling for their group of neighborhood children, and thinking about it this way, it would be better for Wang Ya to leave them.

"Then where are we going?" Wang Ya continued to ask, vowing not to give up without asking clearly.

Along the way, Wang Ya always has endless questions, which is the nature of children. Xiao Lan is not annoyed, he has taught children in Kenya, Africa for half a year, and he is already very patient with children, so he always takes the trouble to respond to all of Wang Ya's questions.

"Go to a good place, where Yaya can be fed, Yaya can wear beautiful clothes, and Yaya can have many brothers and sisters. ”

"Okay, okay! was tempted by Xiao Lan, Wang Ya didn't bother to care about her group of children, and soon became happy.

At this time, the dough cake was almost soaked, Xiao Lan poured the expanding dough into the broken porcelain bowl and gave Wang Ya a spoon. Wang Ya, who was already very hungry, quickly took the bowl and devoured it.

But at this moment, Xiao Lan seemed to vaguely see something behind her, and said very seriously: "Yaya, don't move now." ”

After hearing her grandfather speak, Yaya licked her lips and stopped moving, wanting to ask what was wrong. But Xiao Lan quietly found a bowl in the sack behind her.

There was a muffled "bump", and he covered the head of a snake, and the edge of the broken porcelain bowl was really pressed against the snake's seven inches.

It was a long snake, brownish-gray with a little white stripe. It stayed behind Wang Ya for a long time, and was noticed by Xiao Lan when it moved slowly. When the snake noticed that its head was covered by the bowl, its tail swung back violently, and it tried to break free.

But unfortunately, Xiao Lan pressed the broken porcelain bowl hard, turning it back and forth, and the edge of the bowl was uneven, and it was broken.

Xiao Lan lifted the long snake body, picked up the rusty knife from his pocket, and licked his chapped lips, his eyes revealing pleasure.

It's time to add dinner tonight.
