When people are old, they are easy to be soft-hearted. Especially when natural disasters are continuous!

The old woman's pleading voice was weak and whispering, but Hu Xiaomei and the others who came out of the house still heard it clearly.

Before Fox Dayou could answer, Kong Shi had already walked over in surprise and worry. I saw that it was an old woman older than herself, her clothes were shabby and thin, stained with blood everywhere, her face was pale and weak, but her facial features were kind.

Hurriedly said: "This old sister, what's wrong with you?" How is blood dripping everywhere! ”

"Don't hide it from my sister, I'm old and useless, I fell my leg on the way to escape, and I can't walk at this time, but the lord of Hades won't accept my old life. Along the way, every family closed their doors and slept outside day and night, and now they are very sick, and they are a poor drag on my son. I just saw that the door of your courtyard was wide open, and I wanted to come in for a night, but I don't know ...... sister" Before she finished speaking, the old woman suddenly coughed, and this cough did not stop for a long time, until she coughed so that her face turned blue and she gasped, and only relieved her breath after half a sound.

Wei Dahe has been in the village to see a doctor for decades, and when he looks at the old woman's condition, he knows that she has a cough problem on weekdays, and when she coughs, she will wheeze and wheez. This is what we call asthma in modern times.

However, this cough is indeed not easy to treat, that year Kong's cough was infected with wind and cold, if it weren't for Wei Dahe is a doctor, every day to go up the mountain to collect medicine, avoid living and taboo mouth, Kong's cough can not be cured.

The pain of that cough is beyond words. In the case of this old woman, the cough is already quite severe, and she must wheezing for half a day when she does more work on weekdays, and it is even more painful to cook on the fire. The smoke chokes people so much that they can hold their breath!

Xu had a sense of being connected to the same fate, Kong was very sympathetic to the old woman, and kindly brought a stool to let her sit in the yard, and the old woman's son helped her into the yard naturally.

After some conversation, it turned out that the old woman and her son were from Lujia Town, and only the mother and son depended on each other in the family, the old woman's surname was Cui, and Cui's mother-in-law's son was called Zhuang San. Because Zhuang's father died at an early age, Granny Cui single-handedly brought Zhuang San up, but unfortunately the family was poor. Zhuang San is already in his thirties. I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. This time, Lujia Town was affected by the disaster, and the banker's house was dilapidated, and it was washed away by the flood, and there was no place to live. Watching many people rush to the big city. I heard that there is a court soup soup in the big city. There are also many large families, dignitaries and nobles send clothes to help, so under Zhuang San's repeated persuasion. Granny Cui decided to go to Wei County with her son.

It's a pity that the luck is not good, halfway to the road, Granny Cui fell her leg, because there is no money, and the people in the villages in the town are now very vigilant, afraid of being robbed by the homeless, so they can't find anyone to help, Granny Cui's leg is delayed, all the way to Yuehe Town with the help of Zhuang San.

The two searched on the street for a while, but they didn't see a person who was willing to help, and they couldn't find a place to stay, and they happened to see the courtyard of Hu Xiaomei's family wide open, so Zhuang San walked in with Granny Cui regardless of the two.

Zhuang San's eyes were full of sadness, and he kept begging Hu Dayou and others to take him in, hoping to allow his mother and son to stay here for one night. He also said that he would leave early tomorrow morning.

Kong's heart was soft, although there were many of them, but they could make room for the mother and son to come out, so they helped Zhuang San's mother and son intercede: "Or let them stay here for one night, anyway, this house is not ours." There were a lot of disasters on this day, so it's a good idea to help! Let's be a favor, do a good deed, in case we encounter difficulties one day, maybe we can have a good return. ”

Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang felt that Kong's words were reasonable, but they still had to be careful when they went out, but she had already said it, and there were only two Zhuang San's mother and son, and they were not afraid of anything, and after asking Wei Dahe and Xiang's opinions, they let Zhuang San's mother and son stay together.

Granny Cui was so excited that tears flowed down, and she pushed Zhuang San's hand away to salute Kong's family. Kong Shi pulled her up and said busily: "You're welcome. ”

And Zhuang San hurriedly walked out of the courtyard gate, and brought in the baggage of the two of them on the side of the road outside, two big burdens, it seems that they should be quilts and clothes or something.

Divide the house and divide it into a separate room for Zhuang San's mother and son, and Hu Dayou and his party can make up for one night. Since there are two more people, you have to have more eyes.

Hu Xiaomei pulled Thirteen and muttered a few words, and then went to help Wei Sanniang and Xiangshi prepare dinner.

Thirteen found Fox Dayou and told him what Fox Xiaomei meant, Fox Dayou looked at the things in the hall, and finally nodded: "Okay, it's better to be careful." ”

Then the two of them carried the wheelbarrow directly into the sleeping room, and unloaded all the things on the cart and put it into the room where several people slept, and the cart was naturally dismantled and stood in the house.

Although the approach is a little stingy, it is also a last resort.

Kong Shi was embarrassed to watch Thirteen and Fox Dayou move all the things in the hall into the sleeping room, but Granny Cui was very sensible: "You have to be cautious when you go out, whether it is at night or during the day." When we came out of Lujia Town, we saw someone beating you to death in the middle of the road to grab a few pieces of bread. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Kong said in surprise.

Because their group started the road early, and the road trip was fast a few days earlier, they didn't know that the area from Lujia Town to Yuehe Town was already full of homeless people.

"Really." Granny Cui coughed twice as she spoke, and Kong Shi was busy finding a bowl in the kitchen, and poured her a bowl of boiling water boiled by Wei Sanniang: "Drink saliva and moisten your throat." ”

Granny Cui was very moved: "Thank you, sister." We are very lucky to have you today. ”

Along the way, let alone sending water to drink, I couldn't even find someone who wanted to talk to me.

After taking a sip of water, Granny Cui felt that her throat was more comfortable, and continued: "Many people can only have an empty stomach after eating the only food because they are not prepared, and they can only last for a day or two at most just drinking water. In the end, I couldn't stand the hunger, and when I saw someone taking out something, I rushed up and grabbed it. Not to mention how scary it was......"

Kong Shi and Granny Cui sat in the room and talked, listening to her talk about how many homeless people had fallen hungry and sick along the way, and how many people had broken their heads and bled because of grabbing food.

Many people from one village or acquaintance went together. Those who had no companions all walked trembling and frightened.

Kong Shi was also terrified when she heard it, she had honestly planted it all her life, where had she seen those things. It wasn't until Wei Sanniang came back with a bowl of porridge that she took Wei Sanniang's hand and told her Granny Cui's words: "...... We have to be careful about the road behind us......"

"There are a lot of us, and there are fathers, mothers, and big friends, don't worry." Wei Sanniang comforted Kong Shi and brought her the porridge: "This is the only bit of food, eat it while it's hot, and warm up." ”

"Oh, why is the food running out so quickly?" Kong exclaimed with a look of surprise.

"There are a lot of us, and you don't know that the fence and the thirteen have a large amount of food, so ......"

Wei Sanniang's words later, not to mention, the Kong family also understood what it meant, their food was finished, and the days after that would be even more difficult. Kong's face was even more worried. I was reluctant in my heart, but when I saw the longing look in Granny Cui's eyes when she saw the clear porridge, she still gave the porridge to Granny Cui: "Old sister, you can eat this bowl of porridge." ”

Granny Cui was shocked by Pang Ruo, and her heart was ecstatic, she hadn't eaten hot porridge for several days, but Wei Sanniang's words just now made her a little conflicted, and she hesitantly pushed the bowl to Kong's: "Sister, let's eat it." You have no food. ”

"It's okay, old sister, you're still sick, you have to eat something."

"Yes, Aunt Cui, you can eat it." Wei Sanniang said: "Originally, I had already scooped a bowl for you in the kitchen, and there are many of us, so we can even out a bowl more." ”

Seeing this, Granny Cui took the porridge embarrassedly and thanked Wei Sanniang and Kong.

Kong and Wei Sanniang went out of the house and returned to their group's residence. Zhuang San, who had been squatting in the courtyard, saw Wei Sanniang go in with a bowl of porridge, and when he came out with Kong, there was no bowl in his hand, and as soon as the two left, he immediately entered the house.

Hu Xiaomei had already scooped the porridge, and when the two of them came back, the family began to take the cake and settle the dinner with the porridge.

After dinner, everyone went back to their houses and went to sleep. Two rooms, one for the men and one for the women. Hu Xiaomei, Kong Shi, Wei Sanniang, and Hu Lixiang sleep in the same bed, and Xiang and Wang Xiaobao live in another room in the same house.

Lying on the bed, Kong couldn't sleep, thinking about the food in his heart, how to figure out what was wrong.

When he came out of Weijia Town, Wei Dahe put all the grain together with the fox family's, and then divided it into several portions and put them in different places. Because she has been saving food, in addition to rice and noodles, she can occasionally dig wild vegetables on the road, so they dig some wild vegetables or pick some wild fruits, so two days ago, she also knew that the food can last for a few days. Why is it gone now?

The more Kong thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he simply sat up and muttered to Wei Sanniang: "...... Didn't you have it a few days ago, and we didn't have any extravagance and waste in the past two days, why is it gone...... What are we going to eat in the future......"

Wei Sanniang persuaded her a few times, but she didn't listen, so Hu Xiaomei had to tell her quietly: "Grandma, let's pay more attention when we go out...... That Granny Cui is good, but my eyes are always dodging when I look at her son. It's a trivial matter to give a bowl of porridge to eat, don't let people worry about it in the future......"

If she knew that Granny Cui and her mother would live in, Hu Xiaomei would definitely not let Wei Sanniang make porridge and porridge.

Hu Xiaomei's words finally made Kong sober up a little. She sympathized with Granny Cui, so she neglected to go out and had to be careful. However, fortunately, Granny Cui is still kind-hearted.

Thinking like this, Kong Shi put his mind at ease and fell asleep after lying down for a while. (To be continued.) )
