Chapter 68 Kidnapping
Unconsciously, it has been a month since I came to Nanyang City, and in the past month, Xiaoju's family has never had a nourishing life, and there is game to eat every day, and Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang have begun to meditate under the guidance of Xiaoju.
And Ah Bao's family, since that time entrusted Xiao Ju Niang to take care of Ah Bao, the two families have unconsciously become dense, and several adults of Ah Bao's family treat Xiao Ju's family as their own relatives, which makes Xiao Ju Niang very moved. From time to time, he quietly put the wild things he ate at home into a bowl, saying that he was making up for Bao.
Xiao Ju actually found out a long time ago, but seeing that Ah Bao's family is also good, plus if you really say it, if someone comes to ask, you will clearly tell sรน that it was fought in the mountains and forests, so that the other party has the ability to fight by himself.
It seems that Bao's family is still very grateful, not only did not say it, but also helped cover it up. After all, Xiao Ju Niang is not careful enough, and the Zeng family, who lives behind Xiao Ju's house, likes to go around to spy on other people's lives.
After Ah Bao's family and Xiao Ju's family got close, the Zeng family was a little angry, you must know that as soon as she settled here, she went over to talk to Xiao Ju Niang, but that family was always on guard against her, but instead went to the family who sold their daughters to survive. I don't know what to do! Like the old and weak people, it's good not to drag them down, what can they do to help the family? What a stupid family!
Xiao Ju Niang looked at the weather as cold as a day, and Bao's wind shelter was not only small, but also not warm enough, the most important thing is that it can't be like a grass shed built, you can build a stove in it and burn a fire. In this way, not only can you cook food and boil hot water, but you can also bake a fire around the stove as a family, and the room will become warm because of the fire.
On this day, Xiao Ju Niang went to Ah Bao to deliver pheasant soup back, looked at the three people who were about to go out, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Xiao Ju." Are you going to hunt in the mountains again? "Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Zhu during this time. It was very enthusiastic about going hunting in the mountains and forests.
One of the reasons is that the place is sparsely populated, and it happens to be practicing. The second reason is that you can practice with wild animals in the mountains and forests. Now Liu Zhu and his strong skills still can't outrun the rabbit, but it is no problem to catch a pheasant occasionally.
Most importantly, they found that meditating in the mountains and forests made them feel more well-being. Although I haven't felt what Xiao Ju said. There is a breath of qi in the body that flows along the lines of meditation, but it is obvious that the body is light and healthy.
"yes!" Xiao Ju was a little puzzled when she saw her mother's worried face, the life of the family during this time should be peaceful and rich! "Mother, is there something wrong with you?"
"That's right! The shelter where Bao's family lives is not warm at all, and Bao's is so small. How can you stand it? When you go out today, can you come back by cutting down some trees and thatching to build a hut for his family, and survive this winter? โ
Xiao Ju hesitated a little, the family looks pretty good at the moment, but you must know that there are too many cases of Mien fighting against Mi in the world, if it is because of Xiao Ju Niang's soft-heartedness in the future. And to this result. That's confusing.
"Xiaoju, don't worry. Niang is not one of those who has no weight! I'm just worried that Po won't survive this winter! I won't talk nonsense about things at home! Xiao Ju Niang saw the entanglement on Xiao Ju's face and hurriedly explained.
"Alright! Mother, don't walk around at home, and let your uncle help Bao's family build a grass shed tomorrow! "Xiao Ju finally figured it out, if you can help, you can help, if there is really that day, I believe that the force value of these people in the family can also rise to Cheng Dรน, who no one dares to provoke at will. Xiao Ju didn't know that the three of them were gone, but they almost never saw Xiao Juniang again.
As usual, after Xiao Ju and the three of them finished practicing and hunting, they also cut down the trees and thatch for Bao's family to build a grass shed, and then they happily rushed to their home. But I never expected that when I got home, I didn't see Xiao Juniang, and there was no fire in the stove, it was cold.
Although Xiao Ju and the three of them had some doubts in their hearts, they all thought that she had gone to Ah Bao's house again. I didn't pay much attention to it, and when I was about to make dinner on the fire, there was a knock on the closed gate, and Aunt He's anxious crying voice sounded outside the door.
"Xiaoju, Zhuangzhuang, are you back?" Xiao Ju heard Aunt He's crying door, and a bad feeling rose in her heart, so she put the basin in her hand and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Aunt He's crying red and swollen eyes, and an anxious look, and before she could ask, she shouted to Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju, your mother was kidnapped and taken away, I can't stop it!" โ
When Xiao Ju heard this, her eyes darkened, she almost fainted, there was nothing valuable at home, everyone had lived a very low-key life for so long, and they all hid at home to eat, and they were also kind to others, who was aiming at their poor family to kidnap tickets?
I heard about this kidnapping some time ago, but not all of them are those who can't survive, so they take risks and go to the city to kidnap some young ladies in order to ask their families for ransom, but everywhere in their own house shows that they are poor, why did someone kidnap their mother?
"Who? Who kidnapped my second sister? Liu Zhu also heard Aunt He's words in the room, and was so anxious that he stretched out his big hand to pinch Xiao Ju who was standing next to the door aside, Xiao Ju was shocked by the news, and he didn't shake his head, so he let Liu Zhu pinch it away. As for Zhuang Zhuang, he is still too young, and when he heard the news, he had already cried and called 'Mother'!
"I don't know! But judging by the clothes and appearance, it should also be a disaster victim! I just don't understand why I want to arrest Sister Liu! But because I went to stop it, the other party only threw down a sentence when he left, asking you to take the grain and noodles to the fiftieth stall of the ghost market at the gate of the city tonight to change people. Aunt He said while shedding tears.
"These people who should be killed, how can the people who live here have any food? Isn't this trying to force people to death? Liu Zhu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
At this time, Xiao Ju had already woken up and asked Liu Zhu to get out of the way, "Aunt He, I want to trouble you with something!" โ
"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help with this! He Yuanyuan wiped his tears and said with a serious face.
"I plan to go to the city gate with my brother-in-law to have a look, but my brother is too young and wants you to take care of it!" Xiao Ju said with the anxiety in her heart.
"It's okay! Let Zhuang Zhuang follow me to my house! He Yuanyuan agreed without saying a word, not worrying at all about being implicated.
"Sister, I don't want to go to Bao's house, I want to follow you to save my mother!" Zhuang Zhuang shouted at Xiao Ju with a crying voice.
"You're going to follow to save your mother? Who have you beaten? At that time, not only will it not be able to help, but it will also drag Sister A's hind legs and delay saving her mother! You obediently stayed at Bao's house for me, waiting for Sister Ah and Uncle to rescue my mother, which is a great favor for Sister A! Xiao Ju yelled at Zhuang Zhuang angrily, what is the situation, and he is still so unclear, it seems that he usually don't teach.
"Zhuang Zhuang listens to Sister A, Sister A, you have to bring your mother back quickly!" Zhuang Zhuang was yelled at by Xiao Ju, he was not stupid, he knew that with his current ability, he could only make trouble for Sister A if he went, so he sobbed and said.
"Zhuangzhuang, Sister promises you that she will definitely bring her home safely!" Xiao Ju grabbed his sturdy little shoulders, looked at his red rabbit eyes, and promised seriously.
"Sister, I will obediently wait for you to come back at Bao's house!" Zhuang Zhuang endured the tears that were about to fall, and said with some whimpering.
"Aunt He, my family is strong, please leave it to you!" Xiao Ju took the strong little hand and handed it over to He Yuanyuan's hand with some caution.
"Xiaoju, don't worry! I will be optimistic about Zhuangzhuang, and you and your brother-in-law should also be careful! If it doesn't work, come back and figure it out together! He Yuanyuan told Xiao Ju this sentence, saying that he was holding his strong little hand and walking towards his house. And Zhuang Zhuang looked back at Xiao Ju and Liu Zhu step by step.
As soon as Xiao Ju and Aunt He left, they locked the door directly and took Liu Zhu towards the Nanyang City Gate. It's just that I walked all the way, picking up some small stones and putting them in my pocket. As for Liu Zhu, when he was at home, he found a wooden stick with the thickness of an arm and held it in his hand, and with this month, he has raised a stout body, which looks a little murderous.
Because of worry, Xiao Ju and Liu Zhu's pace was naturally not slow, they usually had to walk for more than half an hour, but now they arrived at the gate of Nanyang City in less than fifteen minutes.
The gate of Nanyang at night is different from the daytime, during the day, it is crowded with victims queuing up to receive relief porridge, but at night, it becomes a trading market. There are small vendors everywhere, and in front of them all the belongings of the family, hoping that someone will take a fancy to some of them, so that they can sell some money for food and survive.
Xiao Ju scanned the items on the stalls as she walked, and she was really dumbfounded by the items on display: electric wires, electric lights, black pots, cassette tapes, bicycle pedals, flashlights, faucets, old clothes...... In short, the items sold here are all things that Xiaoju would never have dreamed of.
Looking at the people shuttling in front of these stalls, although the clothes are clean, they are very old, some of them are patches on top of each other, and most of them are elderly. It seems that the people who come here are poor. At this time, the various vendors were crowded with bargainers, and Xiaoju was a little anxious, not knowing where the fiftieth stall Aunt He said?
Xiao Ju walked around this spontaneous trade market known as the 'ghost market', and did not see any traces of the rows on the stalls, and it seemed that everyone was looking for their own empty space to set up stalls. The only thing that is a little strange is that along the sides of the city gate are a slough of felt sheds, which are used for business in the front and people in the back. Xiao Ju turned around twice in the two rows of sheds next to the city gate, and had some guesses in her heart.
It seems that this 'ghost market' is organized, and these felt sheds that can be used for business, Xiao Ju suspects that they are operated by the people in that organization, and this 'ghost market' is definitely not as simple as it seems. I just don't know if the people who kidnapped my mother have anything to do with this organization? (To be continued.) )
