Chapter 478
A piece of dry food was stuffed in her hand, and the woman was stunned at first, and then reacted and bent down to thank Qin Siyu. And the face that she had been numb before finally had some other expressions.
"No thanks. You guys... From Qinghe Town? β
Qin Siyu watched the woman holding the child, and sat on the still hot ground without care, and she also sat down again. After the kid got the dry food, his first reaction was to stuff it into his mouth and bite it hard, and then he looked up at Qin Siyu and said thank you vaguely.
Compared to her own children, the woman is much better. She eats quickly, but she doesn't swallow it. While eating, she looked at Qin Siyu and nodded slightly: "Yes, we are from Qinghe Town." β
The voice was a little muffled, but at least audible. Qin Siyu knew that the two of them were really hungry, so he naturally didn't care about it.
"What's going on in Qinghe Town now?" Qin Siyu went on this trip to investigate the drought situation in Qinghe Town, and at this time, he met a person from Qinghe Town, so he couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Qin Siyu's question, the woman's eating movements froze, and only after a moment did she reply, "Hell." β
The dead die, the fleeing, burning, killing and looting, more terrifying than hell.
Hearing this, Qin Siyu also knew that she couldn't ask anything from her words, so she didn't go to reveal her scars.
"Where are you going?" At the beginning, it didn't matter if she didn't talk to the woman, but now that Qin Siyu has talked to her, she wants to know more about it and see if she can help her, after all, these are two lives, not to mention, there is a child who is two or three years old.
"Go to your relatives and find a way to liveβ" The woman's voice regained its initial numbness.
Qin Siyu didn't answer, and for a while, there was only the sound of eating around the few people. Soon, the woman and the child had all the food they had in their hands.
At the moment when they finished eating, both of them couldn't help but look at the burden next to them, but they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and quickly retracted their gaze.
Because of his young age and weak self-control, the child's eyes still looked at the burden from time to time, but the woman's eyes were no longer on the burden.
Qin Siyu took the kettle and handed it to the two, at first, the woman still refused a little, but then she couldn't stop Qin Siyu's enthusiasm, so she took the kettle over.
However, neither of them touched the spout when they drank it. Seeing this, Qin Siyu understood in her heart why she was reluctant to take the kettle just now - she was afraid that she would stain the spout.
Qin Siyu put the kettle away, looked up at the woman and the child, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Over there, the woman hugged the child in her arms tightly, bowed her head slightly, looked at the ground under her feet, and began to tell Qin Siyu about herself.
"There was a drought in the whole town, the food died, there was no water, and at first we could survive on the water storage, but soon everyone ran out of water. Some people rushed to other people's houses to grab the little water left by others, some people killed, some people were killed, and some people saw the right time and fled. β
"My family and I also fled, but before we could leave the village, we were stopped by people who wanted to rob my child and quench my hunger... My husband stopped those people in order to get us to leave, and they killed them... I fled to relatives with my two children alone, but yesterday my youngest son died..."
From beginning to end, the expression on the woman's face was only numb. Even when he talked about the death of his husband and youngest son, his tone was completely numb.
Apparently, her heart is dead. However, Qin Siyu noticed a detail, that is, when the woman said this, her arms were always tightly wrapped around the child, and the more she went upstairs, the tighter it became, as if she wanted to rub him into her body.
This child is the only one who supports the woman's life...
After the woman said this, Qin Siyu didn't know what to say, she felt very uncomfortable, and she was a little at a loss.
After a while, Qin Siyu took three pieces of dry food from the bag and handed them to the woman: "Take it and give it to the child on the way, I wish you to go to your relatives soon." β
That's all she can do.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then took the ration from her hand, and her numb face gradually became a little more expressive. After a moment, she nodded her head and thanked her. Then, she carefully put away the dry food.
After that, without much talk, the woman sat here with the child in her arms and sat here for a while, and then took the initiative to go to the opposite side of the tree. Later, he didn't say a few words all night.
The next day, when Qin Siyu woke up, the woman and the child were no longer there, and she should have left before she woke up.
At this time, the sky was still bright, but I could already vaguely see the surrounding scenery. And, most crucially, it's not that hot right now.
Without thinking too much, Qin Siyu directly shook Jin'er up: "Jin'er, it's time to hurry!" β
Take advantage of the cool weather and walk more, and you will be able to suffer less later. When the sun comes out, the air should become hot again, and when the time comes, you will really feel uncomfortable.
"Hmm... I'll sleep a little longer..."Jin'er rolled over and muttered.
"Sleep what you sleep, wait for the sun to come out enough for you to suffer! Hurry up! Qin Siyu increased the strength of his subordinates, and at the same time, his voice was much louder.
Jin'er was shaken a few times by Qin Siyu, even if she didn't want to get up anymore, she was sober. She opened her eyes and glanced at her young lady helplessly: "Miss, you can't be gentle, you look a little bit like a lady..."
"What's that? Can I eat it? Qin Siyu got up, patted some of the withered grass leaves on his clothes, and said.
Jin'er glanced at Qin Siyu speechlessly, and quickly got up from the ground, briefly cleaned herself up, picked up her little baggage, and followed behind Qin Siyu: "Miss, I'm fine." β
"Well, let's go." Qin Siyu looked at the endless path in front of him, and had a headache. She's not living a life that people should live, hey!
Qin Siyu and Jin'er walked all the way to Qinghe Town, and they also met refugees on the way, and the most expressions on their faces were numbness.
Qin Siyu looked sad, but he didn't have a mother-like way to help these people. She only came to investigate this time, and she didn't bring supplies and other things, even if she wanted to help, she couldn't do anything.
Soon, the sun rose, Qin Siyu looked up at the big sun hanging high above his head, he just wanted to scold his mother in his heart, and his steps couldn't help but be much faster.
Finally, when Qin Siyu was about to collapse, she arrived at her destination.
