Waiting for you to come back alive (2)
The disadvantage is that she doesn't know when Zhao Hu, who didn't die in battle, will come back, and if she doesn't see her when she comes back, will she listen to other people's lies and go to her again!
The benefit is stability.
The other is that in the countryside, that is, Zhaojia Village, is self-reliant.
It's tough.
The good thing is that no matter when Zhao Hu comes back, she will know.
The disadvantage is that it is unstable and adventurous.
No one knows if the Zhao family will go crazy and kill her secretly.
After all, those people can even push out their own nephews and grandsons to send them to death.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhu decided to settle down in Zhaojia Village, she wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible.
After deciding on it, Li Zhu quickly began to move......
There was nothing in this dilapidated house, and she woke up barefoot, lying on a bare earthen kang.
After a while, Li Zhu's hands and feet were numb, her whole body was cold, and her stomach was still growling with hunger, if she didn't solve the food and clothes as soon as possible, she didn't need to think about anything else.
Li Zhuxia opened the door and picked up her two embroidered shoes from the gate and the yard respectively.
Speaking of which, she woke up and saw that she was barefoot, and at first she thought that she was too poor to wear shoes, but from the recent memories of the crazy girl, it was not that the shoes were taken away, but that the mind did not belong to the time, and she tripped over the shoes when she returned to this broken yard.
At that time, the crazy girl was already dead, how could she care about those two shoes!
As a result, she stumbled back to the broken house, lay down on the kang, and then pooped and never woke up.
The shoes were found, but the clothes were gone.
Originally, she was Zhao Hu's mother who was kicked out on the day of the funeral, if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Zhao Hu's family thought she was wearing the sackcloth, she would have been stripped of her clothes when she was driven away.
Although the clothes were saved in the end, this Mai did not block the wind at all.
Wanting to tide over the current difficulties, Li Zhu decided to return to Zhao's house and bring back her little baggage, which also included her two new clothes.
Brushing his hair with his hand, Li Zhu shrunk his shoulders and walked out of the house.
Along the way, she avoided the visible villagers, after all, what she was going to do was not very visible......
Li Zhu also lived in Zhao Hu's house for a short time.
In the past, Zhao Hu only did short-term work in the town and did not do long-term work, after all, his wife was at home alone, and it was inconvenient to do anything half-blind.
However, since the crazy girl and Zhao Hu discussed marriage, Zhao Hu's wife was basically taken care of by the crazy girl, first, Zhao Hu wanted to do more work to make money to support the family, and secondly, let the crazy girl get along with his mother more.
Therefore, she is still familiar with the environment of Zhao Hu's family.
This time, she wanted to try her luck, hoping that Uncle Zhao Hu's family would just kick her out and not live in Zhao Hu's house.
Li Zhu avoided people and trotted all the way to the vicinity of Zhao Hu's house.
From a distance, the wooden door is locked, and no one from the neighbors goes out.
When Li Zhu arrived at the door, he saw that the iron lock at the door was not something from Zhao Hu's house.
In an instant, it occurred to me that this should be the lock changed by Zhao Hu's uncle.
Although they occupied Zhao Hu's house as relatives, they still had some shame in the end, and since they were ashamed, it proved that they were still weak-hearted.
If you feel uncomfortable, you have to find something external to comfort yourself.
No, it also wasted money to buy a new big lock.
Like Zhao Hu and his mother before when they went to the field, when there was no one at home, they usually twisted the door slightly with a wooden stick to prevent it from being blown open by the wind.
In addition, they don't do anything, firstly, because there are no valuable things at home, and secondly, the neighbors are also familiar with them, and there are generally no outsiders in Zhaojia Village, so they are not afraid at all.
As a result, now that Zhao Hu and his uncle occupied Zhao Hu's house, the first thing he did was to buy a big copper lock handle, and lock the door to declare sovereignty.
It is clearly marked that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
Walked to the door, reached out and tugged at the copper lock.
Li Zhu expressed his admiration for the craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen to make locks!
She can't open this lock!
However, although this lock locked the door, it definitely couldn't stop Li Zhu's pace of progress - she still knew a gap!
After looking around again, and after confirming that there was no one, Li Zhu walked more than a dozen steps along the right side of the gate, where there was a pile of firewood, and after pulling out some firewood from the middle, a small hole was revealed.
Li Zhu slowly crawled along the small hole, pushed open the grass curtain blocking the small hole, and went directly to the courtyard.
After straightening up, Li Zhu patted the hay on his body, and didn't dare to delay the time and ran directly to the firewood room.
There is a cellar in the firewood room, and there are good things there, I hope that the Zhao family has not found out.
Li Zhu walked to the firewood room and saw that the chopped firewood inside had been turned into a mess and a lot less, so he knew that Uncle Zhao Hu's family must have searched in the firewood room.
Looks like they didn't find anything!
The people in Zhao's village have the habit of digging cellars in the firewood house, and Zhao Hu's family is no exception.
However, their cellar does not look conspicuous like ordinary people, but is hidden under the firewood stack.
Zhao Hu's family's grain is basically in there.
Li Zhu moved away from the firewood on it, opened the cover on the cellar and looked down - a lot of food in the crazy girl's memory appeared in front of her eyes.
β¦β¦ There are two cloth pockets......
Jumping into the cellar, Li Zhu opened the cloth bag and saw that it contained a bag full of unhulled rice, and another cloth bag contained a bag of soybeans with pod shells......
It's better than nothing, and although the food is not very rich, it can definitely fill your stomach.
The dilemma now is how can she bring these two bags of things back, although it is quite safe to put them here, the current Zhao Hu's house is no longer Zhao Hu's house, and it is not easy for her to get in and out, it is as smooth as today, and it is even more difficult to find days when no one has seen anyone!
The New Year is coming soon, except for those who can't come back, most of the people are back, and in the days when the New Year is approaching, there should be a lot of people in the village who visit each other, and the people of the entire Zhaojia Village are the same ancestor, basically there is no one who doesn't know.
Since he married Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu was arrested, and then, Zhao Hu's wife died again, her grandfather didn't last long, she was also kicked out of the house by Zhao Hu's uncle, and she was unlucky several times in less than half a month, and the situation of the little new daughter-in-law in Zhaojia Village is no one.
As a result, she became a household name in Zhaojia Village.
She didn't plan to attract attention in the short term, although Zhao Hu's uncle and grandfather did not recognize her as Zhao Hu's daughter-in-law, but they knew that she had food and silver, and they would definitely come and fight for it.
So she had to sneak these things away.
Now that no one is moving outside, the timing is just right, but she can't get out of two big bags of things, if in modern times, just find a plastic bag, it is really impossible to find a clothes that she doesn't wear, and she will get it out.
But in this era when cloth is used as money, there is no plastic cloth at all!
As for the clothes that are not worn......
How could anyone casually throw away their clothes?!
They've always used things to the extreme.
For example, clothes-
The new clothes are worn into old clothes, the old clothes are worn into rags, the rags are patched and worn into strips of rotten cloth, and finally the strips of rotten cloth can still contain the soles and paste the uppers......
You don't have to go to the end!
After worrying for a while, Li Zhu directly lifted the hem of her skirt......
Hehe!
She didn't have a plastic bag, she didn't have clothes she didn't wear, but she wore a dress.
Even if the skirt is made of coarse linen, not a grain of grain will be wasted.
Li Zhu first tried to grab the rice and put it on it, shook it twice, but the grain did not fall down the gap in the burlap skirt, so he was relieved.
Grasping the hem of the skirt with one hand and the rice on the skirt with the other, when it was almost loaded, the lower edge of the skirt was tucked into the belt, the belt was tightened, and after tidying up, the rice bag was sealed, and the rice and soybeans were used as ladders to climb up.
After coming up, he carefully covered the entrance to the cellar, scattered the firewood along the way he had seen before, and when he saw that it was almost there, he climbed out of the small hole behind the firewood.
In the middle, because there were too many messy firewood, she poked off the hem of her tied skirt and let the rice spill on the ground, but fortunately she felt wrong, and protected it with her hands in time to save her night shift.
After returning to the dilapidated house, Li Zhu dumped the rice directly onto the earthen kang and prepared to transport all the grain in one go.
Good days are not easy to encounter, since she has encountered them, she has to grasp them, and now that there is no one around, she is ready to go a few more times.
When he walked to the door, Li Zhu turned around and took a look, and a lonely bag of rice was placed there, which made the people watching both happy and emotional......
And then she also gave birth to a sense of crisis!
This is the foundation of life!
The dilapidated house where Li Zhu lives now is also from Zhaojia Village, but the owner of the house has been gone for many years and has never returned.
Exposed to the wind and sun and in disrepair, the house has long been uninhabitable.
However, the crazy girl's grandfather planned to live in Zhaojia Village temporarily, so he simply repaired the house, although it was still very dilapidated, but at least it was still able to live in it.
However, there are many things that ordinary villagers have, but there is no such thing in this yard, and even the firewood house has only half of the roof.
There was also a small pile of straw in the firewood room.
Li Zhu went to the firewood room to clean up a bunch of straw, and sprinkled the straw on a kang in a real way, making the kang look like someone was sleeping on straw instead of something else.
Li Zhu walked to the door and looked back again before relieving himself.
That's right......
She always felt uneasy before, after all, wealth is not exposed, in this era, food represents money!
didn't dare to delay for long, Li Zhumao ran to Zhao Hu's original yard again......
Before dark, Li Zhu transported all the food to the dilapidated house, her stomach was still empty, her body was very weak, and her heart was always tense, after all, in addition to manual labor, she was also worried psychologically.
I wanted to avoid people along the way, but I was still under a lot of pressure.
Although she was carrying her own belongings, she was no different from being a thief.
It stands to reason that it is good to be a thief when it is dark.
However, she was too timid to go at night, and she was even more afraid that it would be too dark and she would accidentally fall and touch it.
Putting the scattered grain back into the cloth bag, Li Zhu straightened his waist, and then listened to his stomach scream again, compared to the previous times, the voice was much lower, and he couldn't scream anymore.
After an afternoon of physical work, Li Zhu always wanted to treat her stomach, and then she found out that the food was available, but how to make it mature?
She doesn't have a fire!
Between drilling wood for fire and eating raw, you choose only raw, although this era is not the first time she has experienced, but she really hasn't done this thing of drilling wood for fire.
Rub a few handfuls of rice with your hands, knead them into rice grains, chew them finely, and then swallow them.
It's not too unpalatable, but it's hard to swallow, but it does feel full after eating.
The stomach is not in rebellion, which is really a great blessing in misfortune!
After simply filling his stomach, Li Zhu stopped continuing, and eating raw was completely helpless.
The pile of straw that he brought before he said was put together, and Li Zhu shrank on the straw and slept all night.
This night I slept very unsteadily, the clothes on my body were very thin, there was nothing to cover, and the result was not warm, Li Zhu went back and forth between waking and dazed, and it lasted until the next morning.
As soon as the sky was hazy, Li Zhu rushed to Zhao Hu's previous yard again, went to the firewood room to take away the flint, and left in a hurry without daring to stay long.
Yesterday morning, Li Zhu finally ate a hot meal, which was not hearty, but his body was very warm after eating.
With physical strength, she dared to think about anything else.
The Crazy Girl's warm new clothes, of course, are hers now, so she's going to get them all back.
When she went to Zhao Hu's house yesterday, she only paid attention to the firewood room, after all, that was the most important thing.
When she went again this morning, she saw that the door of the neighbor's house on the left was open, so in order to avoid anyone from finding out, she could only take the flint and steel, so she hurriedly left, wanting to get her baggage, she could only go to the yard before Zhao Hu again.
I just hope that this time I have better luck, don't touch people!
But hope is just hope after allβ
Before she arrived at Zhao Hu's house, she met someone halfway through, Li Zhu followed Zhao Hu and his mother to meet her, and Zhao Hu and his mother asked her to call her the third aunt.
When Zhao Hu's mother died, she also came over to help manage the funeral.
However, when the crazy girl was kicked out, the third aunt was also at the scene, and she did not say anything at that time.
Overall, the third aunt is a good person.
But I didn't get much close to Li Zhu.
This time, he happened to walk opposite the third aunt, and remembering what happened before, Li Zhu took the initiative to say hello.
"The third aunt has eaten well......"
Aunt Zhao saw Li Zhu from afar, but she didn't call her, hearing Li Zhu speak like she had greeted her before, Aunt Zhao had a complicated face, but still said, "Eat, eat, you girl...... Is it ......?"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Zhao looked remorseful, when the crazy girl was kicked out, she and her man were also on the side, and Huzi's uncle's family didn't let her take anything.
