Chapter 31: Survival (II)
Changting raised his head suddenly, frowned deeply, and subconsciously refused, "A certain and her sister have no baggage, and they have no foreign wealth." Mrs. Hu hurriedly traveled north, what should I do with the wooden house and the objects in the wooden house left by Grandpa Hu? Who will guard this vast area of mountains and forests? Hu Niangzi must not be dragged down by a certain and her sister-in-law, and make a decision in a hurry. ”
She knew why she refused first, from Jueshan to Heisei, the road was difficult, she couldn't imagine it, but she couldn't believe that a little girl who would not know her for half a day.
A large sea of porcelain bowl of white porridge, Changning scooped it with a small spoon, about very hungry, and after a while, the white porridge saw the bottom.
Xiao Changning drank porridge seriously, leaving a messy back of his head for the eldest sister to see, Changting looked away invisibly, and swept his eyes to the cloud brocade robe that was still hanging in front of the window lattice.
Two little girls from rich backgrounds and wolf bodies were exiled to the wilderness - their identities were very recognizable
If the thief can pinch it, let Hu Yuniang stay here early in the morning, the thief just wants to kill them all, she asked herself if there is nothing to covet on her body, according to the ruthless posture of the thief last night, will the grass snake gray line bury Hu Yuniang such a big foreshadowing waiting for them here?
I'm afraid I don't have the patience to do that.
Take 10,000 steps back, if Hu Yuniang has ill intentions and impure motives, then the white porridge that Changning ate and the hot water she drank would be the hot water
I'm afraid their bones are long gone
Changting's expression was complicated.
Hu Yuniang was much simpler, straightened her felt hat with her hand, waved her hand, and laughed heartily.
"I'll go to Yuzhou, what are you doing!"
Hu Yuniang acted with a tendon, took three or five jujubes from her bosom and handed them to Changting, one was stuffed into her mouth, and while chewing, she motioned to Changting to taste it, "Big red dates, sweet, cooked in the small box of Huxia"
Changting was stunned and stretched out his hand to take it, instinctively looking for a handkerchief to wipe it, and suddenly remembered that this time was different from the past, sighed, and wiped his sleeves, but found that the sleeves were not as clean as this date
"After my grandfather passed away, I lived alone in this Jue Mountain, the aunt at the head of the village took pity on me without a father and mother, and the only grandfather also passed away, often left me to eat, talk, and taught me to cook, but the village is not rich, and in the disaster year, my own family is not full, and I am forced to stay, saying that it is to be raised as a daughter, and the serious girl is going to get married, and she looks at me all day long" Hu Yuniang said a little uncomfortable, she had no place to say these words, and she said to the villagers that she didn't know how to be grateful, except for the villagers, Do you want her to tell the two blind bears?
Changting listened quietly, telling other people's stories lightly, but she seemed to be able to empathize.
There is no home anymore, and there are thousands of people in this world who have no home, and they can only live very similarly - with nostalgia and pity for others, struggling to live, living in the eyes of others and in their own pain.
Jujube chewed in the mouth, sweet and soft.
Changting's heart was as bitter as Coptis chinensis.
"Except for grandpa's tablet and the entanglement of the road, I can stay here for anything, hot kang, kettle, shovel, hemp rope can be used by people who have suffered in the mountains and forests, which is also grandpa's original intention and last wish." Hu Yuniang took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and straightened her waist, "It is also grandpa's last wish to go to Yuzhou to seek refuge with my uncle and aunt, find a good person to marry, and have children." Even if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I have to fulfill my grandfather's last wish! ”
When it comes to finding a good man to marry, Hu Yuniang is like a strong man with a broken wrist, looking very sad.
Changting buried her head and pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't speak, but Hu Yuniang laughed with her, "You look like your sister-in-law, you look good when you smile, you have to smile more in the future." ”
As soon as the words landed, Changting's face froze, the corners of his mouth slowly retracted, and he raised his eyes and said to Hu Yuniang very seriously, "If Hu Niangzi really wants to go to Yuzhou, you can wait for a certain and her sister to take a step ahead before leaving." The sword is not long-sighted, and the pursuing thieves will not pay attention to your identity, and it is too dangerous to be with us, and no one knows when the thieves will find us. For your grandfather's sake, you should also live a proper life. ”
Only a layer of window paper was missing.
Changting fled north with his young sister, it is a mission and a duty, if he is intercepted by thieves on the way, it is destined to kill or chop. But Hu Yuniang is different, she has a very smooth and comfortable life, and she should not be involved in this survival and escape from the end of the world.
With Hu Yuniang all the way, it is naturally the best.
She is ignorant of the world, Xiao Changning is weak and weak, Hu Yuniang is a person who is used to walking in the market, and as a woman, she dares to act, with her, of course, she can avoid many detours.
But she asked herself that there was no way to involve others in the whirlpool of life and death, and the future was uncertain and too difficult.
Seeing that Hu Yuniang looked very confused, Changting sighed lightly and persuaded softly, "Hu Niangzi, you really don't need to be scared with us." ”
"Isn't that thief a fugitive?"
Hu Yuniang asked sideways, the fugitives did not have the habit of robbing money and shooting the master's family who had escaped.
"Is it the enemy? Or an opponent? If you want to chase down the juniors, you will destroy people all over the world, and your mind is too poisonous! Hu Yuniang was indignant, subconsciously reached out and grabbed the wooden stick, suddenly remembered, and asked, "Hey, what does your family do!?" How did you provoke such a person! ”
Changting was silent for a long time before he said, "Businessman, businessman." ”
There is no difference between the scholar clan and the merchants, one changes names for power, and the other barters for money, these are Lu Sui's words.
She remembers.
Hu Yuniang suddenly realized, this businessman has no bottom line for profit, everything can be done, it is not surprising that the family is ruined, and it is even more common for other people's families to be ruined. The two little girls are delicate and weak, and one is still sick, can they live in the mouths of the homeless bandits to fight for food? I am afraid that before Yuzhou arrives, he will be taken away from halfway.
The world is big, money is heavy, and one's life is the heaviest.
This is also what her grandfather taught her, it is not selfish, let alone unrighteous, it is human nature.
Hu Yuniang wanted to leave it alone, but she saw that the older girl was very difficult to reach out to support the sick one, feeding her hot water one by one, her little face was half sideways, her jaw was round and smooth, and her two eyes were like two pearls, which looked very gentle and pitiful.
Hu Yuniang's heart was warm, and even her eyes were wet - she had never had a sister in her life.
"If you want to leave, you will leave early tomorrow, the little girl is not well, and she will rest overnight."
She's not smart, but a whole night is enough time for her to figure it out, right?
Changting's eyelashes went down, and he answered softly, "Eh", and after a while, Hu Yuniang came in with two bowls of large coarse porcelain bowls, both steaming, one bowl of white porridge with a little left, and a bowl of ginger soup boiled with brown sugar, and the ginger soup was packed in a sea bowl, which should be for two people.
Changting hurriedly stood up and thanked him, then buried his head in the sea bowl and gulped down the rice.
Her bowl of white porridge was salty, I don't know if it was salted or her tears.
It was dark early in the north, Xiao Changning poured three bowls of spicy ginger soup, forced out a sweat, Changting clumsily wrung hot water to help wipe his body, Hu Yuniang turned out three coarse cotton and linen coats from the cage, a water of gray, the cuffs and plackets were patched, Hu Yuniang thought Changting was slow, and took Xiao Changning in his arms to help put it on, all of which were Hu Yuniang's clothes, Changning was naturally bigger, Hu Yuniang helped roll up the sleeves and cages, and asked with a smile, "Little girl, are you more energetic?" ”
Xiao Changning shrank back, pursed his lips for a long time without saying a word, and reached out to ask the eldest sister to hug him.
Hu Yuniang laughed, handed Xiao Changning to Changting, Changting's eyes swept from the cotton clothes, it was three Ah Changting's heart was sour and astringent, she wanted to give Hu Yuniang a deep thank you, and wanted to speak, but someone outside knocked on the door panel viciously and shouted, "Is there anyone inside!" Open the door, it's freezing to death outside! ”
Changting's hand shook, and he instinctively hugged Changning in his arms.
Hu Yuniang tiptoed on the stool, half of her body was lying on the door panel and looked down through the small hole, and turned her head to speak for a long time, "There are only three men I know who are woodcutters from the next village."
Changting pursed the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hand to point out the window.
Hu Yuniang immediately understood, and leaned over the ground to look out, the snow outside was very deep, and the trees were full of half-human-high snow, and there was no way to hide people, this area was the highest, and it was white and vast overlooking it, indicating that there could be no ambush soldiers within at least a hundred miles - otherwise the two blind bears raised by my grandfather would have barked outside early in the morning.
Hu Yuniang waved her hand at the long pavilion very firmly.
Just woodcutters?
Changting frowned, his eyes unconvinced.
Just woodcutters.
Hu Yuniang has lived in the mountains and old forests for more than ten years, and has practiced a way of survival, nodding very definitely.
