294 Save a life
The old man's son led the guests to the door of the house and did not go in, and it was inconvenient to have female guests. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's just these rooms, but there are not enough bedding in the house, and I have wronged you." A man in his thirties, when he spoke, he still felt a little embarrassed, and he received other people's food, not even a quilt.
Even if it is only four catties of grain, but in the case of no harvest in the year of the great drought, there is a lot, and grain may not be able to be bought even if you take money now.
However, Lin Yuxiu and the others are satisfied if they can have a place to live, and they don't care too much. It's okay to smile at the moment and say it's okay.
Fortunately, the weather is hot now, even if there is no cover, I am not afraid of getting cold, and the overnight will pass.
Those guards gave all the covers to Lin Yuxiu and a few other women, and they were in good health, not like women.
Although, these guards have already discovered that the two sisters who followed Miss Lin are not ordinary people, speaking of which, the kung fu is quite good, at least it is a little unrealistic for them to defeat the two sisters one-on-one.
However, as a man, you must be able to endure hardships and be responsible, even if you are facing a woman who may be better than you.
Lin Yuxiu looked at them politely, along the way, these people have a good temperament, especially the leader named Zhou Qiang, who is safe, thoughtful and careful, and his kung fu does not seem to be weak, he can be regarded as worry-free on this one, to be honest, it is more reassuring than the two around him.
However, although Peach Blossom is kind-hearted, she is not a fool, since she saw that scene three days ago, she has put away all her kindness, even today Lin Yuxiu negotiated the rent with the old man, and she did not say a word.
In this regard, Lin Yuxiu is still very satisfied, as long as he can recognize his own problems, he is not hopelessly stupid.
After settling Lin Yuxiu and the others, the old man returned to the house with the two catties of precious grain.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such good beans, my wife and our mud baby have been saved!" The old man burst into tears, such beans used to be used to feed livestock in Repulse Bay, but now people don't want to eat them.
The old lady was obviously very excited, she gave birth to a total of nine children, but the others were not kept, only this one was kept, the daughter-in-law entered the door for almost ten years, and only gave birth to two dolls, but unfortunately, one of them died, and now only the mud baby is left.
"Old man, I'm going to find something to smash the beans into powder and cook some paste for the mud baby." The old lady's voice trembled.
"Mother, you lie down and I'll come." After the young man saw off the guests through the door, he had already returned to his father's house.
"Okay, Da Kui, you come, you come." The old lady's hand trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't hold the basin steadily.
In fact, the old lady, who had not eaten a single grain for many days, could not pick up the heavy stone mortar and smash these hard beans into powder, but just such a little bean, if you grind the dough, it is not bad enough.
Da Kui took the beans in the small pot and went outside to smash the powder, he couldn't delay the time, the mud baby was already dying, if he didn't eat some food, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep it, he was already thirty years old, there was only such a single seedling in total, why should the doll survive.
"Girl, rest early." Peach Blossom's eyes were a little red and said.
Although he heard the sound outside, he also knew that there was a dying child in this family, and even knew that as long as he took out a steamed bun for the family to let the child soak and eat it, he could save the child as soon as possible, but Peach Blossom was very rational this time and did not ask Lin Yuxiu to do this.
"Peach Blossom, I know you have a good heart, it's not that I don't save people, if we can leave well tomorrow, when we leave, it's not impossible to secretly put a little food in their house, but today can't." Lin Yuxiu clearly saw the sadness in Peach Blossom's eyes, so she spoke.
Peach blossom heart is good, although it can't be used as a big use, but at least it won't hurt people. Therefore, Lin Yuxiu did not mean to suppress Peach Blossom Xinshan, but preferred to let her maintain such a good character all the time.
Peach Blossom nodded heavily, she had already given them two catties of beans, thinking that if the child was just hungry, he should be able to ease up after eating the bean batter later. If they can leave some food for their family tomorrow, the little dolls will not starve to death, and they will be able to leave without a hitch.
Along the way, the high concentration of spirit made Peach Blossom and the others very tired, so after lying on the kang for only a moment, they had already fallen asleep, and even Lin Yuxiu, who was the most awake, fell asleep.
However, Zhou Qiang didn't dare to go to sleep so reassuringly, he divided the seven people he brought with him, including himself, into four shifts, planning to listen to the movement outside one shift at a time.
Such a quiet little village, everything seems to be fine, but in fact it is a place full of dangers, if it is only him, it doesn't matter, but now there are people around him, His Highness is waiting for this girl, he does not dare to take risks.
The fact is that Zhou Qiang's guess is really good, and when a group of people like them arrived in the village, they naturally alarmed many people.
The people of the village looked at these strangers, their eyes were green, they came on horseback, and since they had horses, they had food.
Some people with active brains have already begun to think that if they can leave these horses and food behind, then they will not have to starve, at least they can survive this famine, and wait for the court to distribute food or vegetables in the fields to grow.
And once such a thought sprouts, it will quickly grow into a towering tree, and then occupy the whole person's heart.
Things like human kindness are worthless at such a time, and they are better than a bowl of gruel that can satisfy the stomach.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Qiang sat in the house and heard movement outside, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his ears are good, and at this moment he can hear what is happening outside clearly.
Wu Kui is indeed a good person, since he got the beans, Wu Kui first smashed the bean powder, and then made a fire to boil the paste, Xu is child finished eating, the situation has improved, the second elder of the Wu family can be a little relieved, Wu Kui served his father and mother to sleep.
There was nothing to eat, and after staying up in the middle of the night, Wu Kui also felt exhausted, anyway, the child's life had been saved, and he was not worried.
Wu Kui was about to go back to the house to sleep, but was startled by the sound of a knock on the door.
I opened the door after making sure that the person knocking on the door was my own Murakami.
It's just that he was at a loss, why did these people come to his house in the middle of the night? Could it be that there is something urgent?
