Chapter Eighty-Eight: Running Away
After Mrs. Lin asked again and again, she sighed and said, "There is no endless road to heaven, and there is always a way to live." They are all fellow villagers in Liangzhou, and it is also a matter of time for the villagers to take care of each other. You three brothers and sisters, the eldest is not as big as my son, and he is sick and can't stand it, it is better to follow our Lao Lin family, tomorrow we are ready to go south to Liuzhou, although now the food is gone, but wild vegetables or something can always get a little. As long as we have a mouthful, we will have your share, we will go on the road together, and we will have a response, I don't know what Miss Yang wants? ”
Mrs. Lin once again brought up the matter of wooing, which unconsciously made Yang Zixi more and more confused. Could it be that he really encountered a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he couldn't protect himself and had to save the suffering?
No, Yang Zixi was in a trance for a while, and he always felt that something was wrong.
On the side, Twilight turned over and woke up, rubbed her eyes and said, "The three of us are fine, we don't need to be nosy." ”
Mrs. Lin's face changed when she said this, and Yang Zixi hurriedly smiled and said, "My younger brother is young and speaks without proportion, please don't mind Mrs. Lin." I am very grateful to Mrs. Lin for your kindness, but the situation of our brother and sister is quite special, my brother is sick, and he is afraid that this disease will be contagious, so we have been avoiding others and acting alone. If I follow you...... In case the person who harmed you gets sick, can't I wait for revenge? So forget it. ”
She took Wang Xiaoshi out to talk about it, and deliberately said that his illness was an infectious disease, so that no matter what the other party had, he would always have to be scrupulous, right?
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out. Mrs. Lin's face changed, and she hurriedly took a few steps back. Covering his nose, he said, "No...... I don't know what it is? ”
"I don't know." Yang Zixi flickered and said, "I've invited a few doctors to take a look." Some doctors said it was a fever, and some doctors said it was tuberculosis, but they didn't understand. Later, there was chaos in the city, and I didn't care about investigating it in detail. ”
When Wang Xiaoshi heard this, he coughed violently.
As soon as she heard that it might be tuberculosis, and saw that Wang was coughing, Mrs. Lin's face was pale, she said a few words of greeting in a panic, and ran back as if she was running away. Yang Zixi saw her muttering to the leading man for a while. As he spoke, he glanced at this head.
Seeing that you still dare to fight our idea, Yang Zixi unconsciously felt a little proud in his heart.
After the group learned that Wang Xiaoshi might be a tuberculosis ghost, they really had a mustard in their hearts and didn't come over to talk to them again. Yang Zixi was secretly happy in his heart, just waiting for the dark and late at night so that he could secretly go on the road.
The sky gradually darkened, and after about four watches, Yang Zixi suddenly opened his eyes. Then Zi Du and Wang Xiaoshi also woke up, they packed up their things and pushed the wheelchair and quietly went on the road. In the camp of the group in the distance, the fire had long been extinguished, perhaps because it was too cold. They did not leave anyone to keep vigil, and more than a dozen people were huddled together in a small hut to rest.
Yang Zixi and Zidui slowly pushed the wheelchair forward, avoiding the sound of the stones on the side of the ground. The two pushed Wang Xiaoshi a little bit farther and farther. Yang Zixi's heart was raised in his throat, and the gang did not blatantly move during the day. I'm afraid that they have already been regarded as a bag, if they find a cooked duck at this moment and want to fly. Maybe something might happen!
Don't alarm them!
It took an hour of hard work, and the two of them quietly pushed the wheelchair to a hundred meters away. Seeing that they were already far away, Yang Zixi and Zidui sped up, trying to run as far as possible before they woke up.
But I didn't expect that people were not as good as the sky, and the three of them didn't run for long, and the sky began to snow......
This is the first snow of winter, but it is not small. It only rained for a short while, and the snow was the size of a goose feather. Yang Zixi was fully equipped when she left, and she prepared a solid cotton jacket for Zidui, Wang Xiaoshi wore a felt jacket brought by the Wang family, and she was covered with two quilts. But in the middle of the night in the open air, after being wet with snow, it was a little useless, and the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes from the cuffs and neckline desperately drilled in, and it was a cold to the bones against the skin.
Wang Xiaoshi, who was in a wheelchair, turned his head and looked at the two children who were covered with snowflakes and had red and stiff hands and faces, and felt very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for him, the Yang family sisters and brothers would not have been dragged down to this point. They just met in Pingshui, one is not related to each other, but the boredom is the mob at present, or the displacement, Yang Zixi and Zidui did not give up on him, compared to the Wang family who gave birth to him and raised him......
What if he wasn't sick? Even if you don't have enough power to protect your two children, at least you won't be a burden to them!
"You...... Leave me alone! He sighed, "Those men have bad intentions, and if we catch up, none of us will be able to escape." Rather than all fold here, it is better for the two of you to go first, I am destined to be a person without blessings in my life, so why bother ......"
Yang Zixi pushed her wheelchair and ignored him, the oncoming cold wind made her almost unable to speak. Zi Du shook off coldly: "Shut up!" Are you going to bring that guy in? ”
Wang Xiaoshi: "......"
The oncoming wind and snow froze his cheeks, but he inexplicably felt that his heart was as warm as spring as a nest with a stove, and he struggled to pull up the quilt and block it in front of him, trying his best to resist the wind and snow for the two children.
said that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the Lin family was also woken up by freezing one after another. Only then did they find that Yang Zixi and the other three little ghosts took advantage of the night to go on the road and ran away.
"It's all your fault! If you have to mention any soft policy, what is the result? People are running away! I'll just say that the girl is like a ghost, and that little hairy head, just a little old and has a ghost idea! They should have been tied up a long time ago, and the three underage dolls could still escape from the palms of our hands? Mrs. Lin quietly complained to her husband, at this moment she no longer has the slightest appearance of a loving lady.
"You woman knows a fart!" Her man, a strong man with a beard, said, "In front of the old man, in front of the children, what are you going to do with those three dolls?" This is not in a hurry! Besides, two little ones with a sick one, and it snows so much, where are you afraid they can run? ”
The woman glanced at her children and the old man who were hiding in the hut to avoid the snow, and knowing that her husband was right, she was not upset, but said hurriedly, "Then when shall we catch up?" Don't really let those three dolls run away. ”
The beard glanced at the old man who was still snoring under the covers, and said, "Be patient, the old man hasn't woken up yet." ”
Another woman in her forties had already boiled the wild vegetable soup, and came over to call them to eat, and when she heard their conversation, the woman pulled Mrs. Lin and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, no matter what, we can't be blatant, if we let the old man know a little bit...... The elderly can not be stimulated. ”
Mrs. Lin glanced at her and said, "You have filial piety!" But he said no more, and went with the meal.
The family's surname is indeed Lin, and the old man Lin Renpu is seventy years old this year, and he has five sons, the eldest is Lin Bahu, who has a beard, but he is not a blacksmith in the west of the city. He was the owner of an underground gambling house in Liangzhou, and he was the one who took the lead in the Liangzhou riots. The girl who talked to Yang Zixi before was his daughter Lin Xiaoru, and three of the seven and a half sons were his sons.
His four brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they used to open gambling halls with him to make a living, the woman Cheng is the second mother-in-law, the third is the younger young woman Huang, the fourth family is no longer on the road, the fifth has not yet married a wife, and the woman who seems to have hysteria is Lin Bahu's only sister, Lin Yajuan.
Their family went through a lot of hardships from Liangzhou and rushed to the city of Qinzhou, but they failed to enter the city. When the Tian prefect ordered the closure of the city and the massacre, fortunately, Lin Bahu saw the opportunity quickly and ran away with his family, only her sister-in-law Lin Yajuan's daughter was unfortunately hit by an arrow and lost her life, that is, the cousin who was sick and lost as the girl Lin Xiaoru said. Speaking of which, he is considered the lucky one among the refugees, but you must know that at least tens of thousands of people died under the gate of Qinzhou.
Qinzhou was originally the desire of the refugees, but they didn't expect it to become a place of soul locking.
The family stayed up to Qinzhou was already at the end of the crossbow, and when the food on the road ran out, they began to dig wild vegetables, and the rations they hoarded were enough to support Qinzhou, but they didn't expect to encounter a catastrophe, death, and illness, and the old man Lin Renpu suddenly lay down.
So they could only stay in ten miles outside Qinzhou City, and did not continue to go south, but ran into Yang Zixi and his party.
Seeing Yang Zixi's three underage children, Lin Bahu and his brothers moved their minds, but they were in the way of their father and children, so it was inconvenient to do so. I thought that I would use wild vegetables to eat food to trick him into my team, and then after the plan, I didn't think that although Yang Zixi was young, he had a big idea and was unwilling to join the gang, so he ran away in the middle of the night in the dark.
That's why Mrs. Lin blamed her man.
In the wind and snow, everyone in the Lin family took turns to drink some hot soup, which was considered to be full of stomachs. But there is no warmth in the body. After not eating enough for a long time, Lin Bahu and his four younger brothers were a little impatient, and they avoided outside the shack to discuss the next plan.
"Big brother! Can't wait any longer! If you take care of the old man's body, I'm afraid that our family of eighteen will have to fold here. The third child stretched his neck and said, "It's not that I'm not filial, it's that God doesn't keep people!" ”
"Yes! Eldest brother! I don't have a son, and now my mother-in-law is also dead, and I am alone, so it doesn't matter if I die, but what about the eldest brother, second brother, third brother and fifth brother? You're all worried! The fourth child also agreed.
"Let's go, if it doesn't work, just ...... old man"
Before the second child finished speaking, Lin Bahu slapped him on the head: "What about the old man?" Yesterday, those two dolls knew that they fled with their sick brother, this is our father! Our dear father! Who dares to come up with the idea of leaving his father and running away by himself, don't blame me, the big brother, for discounting his legs! (To be continued......)
