Chapter Forty-Nine: Out of the Volcano
When the smoke cleared, there was nothing left but a pile of blood foam and minced meat. The masked men are gone.
Shen Xiqiao rubbed his ears twice, and bounced off the ground with a whoosh.
"Hurry up, let's go, we can't be here!" Shen Xiqiao pulled up one by one.
The villagers were blown up, and they were scared and dizzy, and they followed Shenxi Bridge to catch up at night.
Shatang held the axe, and the basket was gone, just following the excitement of a group of people.
"Hey, don't run around!" Sha Tang called out to everyone, "I know this place, everyone come with me." ”
Sha Tang's body was numb from the explosion effect of the grenade, and his hands and feet were weak as he ran.
Li Mingcian and Shen Xiqiao ran with their heads stuffed and carrying their burdens, throwing things from the baggage as they ran.
She threw away what she felt was superfluous, some clothes ready to be changed, or something.
Along the way, the group didn't say a word, only stumbled and ran, Liu Zi'an's shoes ran away, and one foot didn't know whether it was a stone or a broken wood to make it bloody.
Seeing him like that, Shatang tore his clothes, cleaned his wounds, and put his back on himself.
Liu Zi'an lay on Shatang's back and cried a lot, but he didn't dare to cry, so he only held it back. Li Mingcian only heard Liu Zi'an sobbing, as if he couldn't breathe.
The faint men in the ranks wept as the Grim Reaper's scythe reaped another wave over their heads. Although there were no casualties, the danger of almost not seeing the sun tomorrow rippled in everyone's hearts.
Li Mingcian pulled the second girl, who was crying heavily, and followed the Shenxi Bridge. Shen Xiqiao took one of Li Mingciao's hands, sweating. Li Mingcian knew that he was also afraid.
After a night of non-stop walking, at dawn, Shatang led them to another place where they had never been.
Li Mingcian collapsed directly to the ground, and his spine hurt. She struggled on the ground for a moment, only to feel as if her muscles were connected into a net, shrinking the bones inside.
Shen Xiqiao lay beside her and looked up at the sky, her eyes not wanting to roll.
Everyone is so tired that they want to sleep, but their bodies are very uncomfortable, and they can't sleep.
Shatang leaned against a stone and did not move, and Liu Zi'an next to him snuggled up to him and slept soundly.
"What a fucking bad luck!" Sha Tang scolded, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I slept until dark. The night's rapid march made everyone a little sluggish.
Shatang woke up first, he woke up Shen Xiqiao, and then went to call the others.
Shenxi Bridge pulled up Li Mingcicada. The two men struggled to get up, and together they went to count the explosives and grenades.
A heavy bag, well piled up in the baggage.
After breathing a sigh of relief, the two of them sat down on the ground again.
Shatang's clothes were dirty and tattered, and he waved his arms and shouted to everyone: "Don't lie down, don't lie down, everyone go find something to eat by yourself, I don't have anything to eat here." ”
Erniu looked at the pot he was carrying, fortunately, the pot was not broken.
Everyone dug up the grass roots nearby, and Shatang went to find a bunch of wild taro, burned it and shared it with everyone.
Shen Xiqiao found water, boiled the water and drank it, and everyone slept for the bed.
Li Cuncai lay on the ground with a sigh: It's really not a human sleep! I miss my shed so much.
Old man Li and Zhang were the oldest, Li Cunfu took all his clothes and gave them them, and Li Cuncai helped make a thick bed. The two old people slept in the most comfortable place.
Shen Xiqiao moved neatly, he climbed to the tree and made a nest with a rope on the branches. The clothes hung down on all sides as curtains, but they were very clean and warm.
Li Mingcian looked at the tree house of Shenxi Bridge with envy.
When Shen Xiqiao saw her like that, he climbed down the tree and swept her to the tree.
The fat girl and the second girl looked at Li Mingcian with red eyes, and they just wished that they were also a child and could climb the tree and sleep with Shen Xiqiao.
"Mama Wang, take out all your clothes and put them on, it's more comfortable. Shen Xiqiao said to Mama Wang.
Mama Wang shook her head, only took out her own clothes and spread them on the ground to sleep.
The big guys were exhausted, and they rested for the night before they hit the road again.
The masked men did not reappear, and after eight days, on the ninth day, a group of people walked out of the volcano.
At this time, a group of people became savages.
Li Cuncai excitedly held Xiao Zhang's arm: "God, it's finally out!"
Xiao Zhang's tears welled up: "It can be regarded as coming out." ”
The second girl wiped her tears and pulled Li Mingciao's legs and feet to be weak: "It's considered to be out, we are all like savages." ”
The two cows jumped on the spot: "Come out!
A group of people were overjoyed, and even Li Zheng showed a look of surprise.
"Where is this?" said Rimasa's first sentence in a long time, in a hoarse voice.
Li Zhengjia happily folded his hands and bowed to the sky and to the four directions: "God open your eyes! Thank you to all the gods!"
A group of dirty people kicked and followed Shatang to his house.
Shatang's house is not small, with a large courtyard, a green tile house, and a few stone slabs in the yard. It's a luxury house in the Northwest Territories.
Shatang's wife is a slender woman with ordinary eyebrows and eyes, and she smiles very gently. A half-sized child, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a bit like Shatang.
Shatang asked his son to arrange a place for them to live, and he and his wife went to negotiate.
Shatang's son is very introverted and not very good at talking. He led a group of people to the Westinghouse.
There were two rooms in the West House, each with a kang and separated, one for men and one for women.
"Little brother, what do you call it?" asked Mama Wang with a smile.
The boy raised his eyelids, and then quickly lowered his eyes: "Shahe." ”
When Li Mingcian heard this, he said, "Hey, quicksand river!
Shen Xiqiao also knew about this stalk, and he and Li Mingcian glanced at each other: "Oh, Journey to the West." ”
The two of them bowed their heads in unison, laughing so hard that their shoulders trembled.
Shahe looked at them laughing, a little inexplicable.
"There is a small river in the south of the village, and it is not cold yet, so you men should go there and wash it." I also have a bathtub at home, which my dad just bought before, and it doesn't work yet, and you women take turns to wash it. ”
Shahe lowered his head and spoke, never looking up: "I'll go and boil water for you." ”
After speaking, Shahetou left without looking back.
Li Zhengjia watched Shahe leave, and exhaled: "This kid is too honest, not like his father at all." ”
The light in the house was very good, and the whole room was warm at noon.
Li Mingcian and Er Ya Er Niu were ordered to help Shahe boil water.
All three of them were dirty, and there was not a single clean place on their faces and hands. Shahe looked at the three children, and his eyes were a little unbearable.
"Rest for a while, and go to the courtyard to wash your face. There's a basin stand over there, and there's a big urn next to it with water in it. Shahe pointed to the water outside, "My father said, you gave money, let's treat you well." ”
Li Mingcian looked at the shy boy and wanted to laugh very much: It's too honest this kid.
Shatang took the basket and packed some clean clothes, and went out into the courtyard to greet the men.
"Let's go, let's go with me to the creek and wash up, and we'll eat game in the evening." ”
Shatang took a group of men and left, and the eldest son of the Li Zheng family took Erniu with him.
Erniu didn't want to go: "Brother, I want to take a hot bath, won't I go?"
Shen Xiqiao stretched out his hand and pulled up the strap of Erniu's clothes and lifted him up.
"Ahhhh
The second cow howled and slipped away by Shen Xiqiao.
The lady of the Sha family took out several large and small pots from the house, looked at the group of women in front of her and smiled gently: "Let's wash it, everyone, these basins are made of my old sand, they are not very good-looking, you can make do with them." ”
Mama Wang thanked her and commanded the women to take it: "Thank you, lady." What do you call a lady?"
The lady of the Sha family bowed slightly: "My maiden name is Liu, you can call me Wicker." ”
Mama Wang waved her hand: "How can you call your name directly, I still call you a lady." ”
Sha Niangzi was slightly blessed: "Everyone, hurry up and wash, I'll help my family boil water in Shahe." ”
Li Mingcian looked at Sha Niangzi, this woman was not good-looking, but she had a bookish atmosphere. Could it be that the eldest lady in distress married Orion?
At this time, the women did not shy away from it. Small baths are used for small children and large baths for adults. Because of Mama Wang's dog's head gold, it was not very polite for everyone to support the mother and son of the Sha family.
After two rounds of washing, the women were finished.
The courtyard was warmed by the midday sun, and the men were sitting on a long wooden bench in the courtyard and basking in the sun with their hair scattered. At this time, the women also dressed neatly and came out of the house, and each of them wiped their hair with a cloth towel.
At this time, Shen Xiqiao wore a clean lilac brocade robe, on which a bamboo of the same color was embroidered. In the sun, dark flowers shine.
Li Mingcian looked at Shen Xiqiao and walked over with a smile: "You look so good today." ”
Shen Xiqiao pursed his lips: "When am I not good-looking?"
Li Mingciao's big eyes flickered, and he stretched out a hand and shook it in front of Shen Xiqiao: "You look like a wild man when you don't take a bath." ”
Shen Xiqiao slapped her hand: "Go!"
Li Mingcian sat beside him with his hair scattered and basking in the sun, Erya was entangled by Er Niu, the two of them were fighting, and Erya was so angry that Er Niu's face turned blue.
Because Erniu shamelessly pestered Erya and said that she was good-looking.
The fat girl was tall and fat, and she sat on a small wooden stool with her hands on her cheeks and looked at Erya and Eryan Niu.
"I feel like it's time for me to lose weight. The fat girl muttered, but accidentally called Shahe to listen. Shahe looked at her with complicated eyes: "I'm not fat!"
Fat girl: "...... You've got a lot of vision. ”
The chubby girl's face was filled with a happy smile, and her round face was like a sunflower.
Sha Tang collected the men's dirty clothes: "You don't want these clothes, anyway, if you have money, buy new ones." ”
When Zhang heard this, he hurriedly went up to grab it: "Where do we have any money, the money is given to you, and you can still wear this clothes after washing." ”
Shatang looked at his empty hands and was stunned.
Rich people are stingy!
