Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Japanese devil is coming
He Yuanyuan looked at Xiao Ju Niang who was squatting on the Lei stove with some help, Xiao Ju Niang didn't seem to hear what Xiao Ju said, she just lowered her head and didn't put it in place in the stove of Liu Zhu who was pointing out, and at the same time said in her mouth: "Pillar, if you build it like that, the fire in the stove will either be extinguished soon, or the smoke will be blocked inside and can't get out, and the wind can't get in!" ”
"Second sister, I'll change it! No hurry! Liu Zhu saw the behavior of several people in the Abao family along the way, and he also had a lot of complaints, and at this time he heard Xiao Ju say that he wanted to separate from them, and he was very happy, but his face did not reveal it, but he just slowed down the speed of Lei Zao, and his ears were only erected to listen to Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju's words made Liu Zhu feel refreshed when he heard it, since he moved forward with this family, he was bound to do anything, and he had to do twice as much as before, these are not enough, the most important thing is that the attitude of Old Man Jiang, He Yuanyuan, and Grandma Zhou towards them is the same as that of Liu Facai, the big landlord in Liu Zhuang, as if he and the second sister and the three of them are inferior, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
And when Zhuang Zhuang heard Xiao Ju say to go separately, the little mouth that was pouting all the way had turned into an upturned moon bud.
He Yuanyuan saw that Xiao Ju Niang was just making a stove there with her head down, and she couldn't receive her eyes asking for help, so she had to speak: "Sister Liu, your Xiao Ju wants to go separately from us, you persuade her!" ”
"Oh? Going separately? Let's go separately! In this way, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to have a lot of grievances along the way as Grandma Zhou said! Xiao Ju Niang seemed to come to her senses at this time, and said this unhurriedly after the Bao family heard it, and their faces became even paler.
In fact, Xiao Ju Niang is a person who respects me and respects others. When I was in contact with Bao's family, I saw that the other party was old and weak, and I heard the Zeng family say that the family had gone from being rich, but now it has become a desert escapee who is worse than his own family, so he became sympathetic.
Second, in the contact, I felt that the family was still a kind-hearted family, and they did not break their mouths. What's more, she also likes and pities Ah Bao, which reminds her of when she was sick. At that time, he might not even be as strong as Po at this time, right? That's when I get something to eat. So that he can survive this and live.
But after contact along the way, she felt that Bao's family, like those villagers in the village who looked down on her family's poverty, revealed a kind of contempt from time to time in their words and actions, which hurt her very much. It's not someone who is really good to her and her two children, she doesn't want to date. Just like the villagers who were far away from the village, they just want to stay away from this family at this time.
"Sister Liu, don't take what Grandma Zhou said, don't take it to heart! First, she was old and confused, and second, she blamed me for not insisting on going to Beiping to find her son. I am afraid that I will die on the road like other escapees. Old Man Jiang saw that even Xiao Juniang, who has always liked Ah Bao the most, said this. Thinking about some of the taken things for granted by my family along the way, I can't help but regret it.
My own family, old and young, except for dressing better than Xiaoju's family, has no money and food, at this time, the so-called high family can not be eaten or drunk. What is there to be proud of? Are those vain ones more important than the lives of their own families? It's really alive and going back! And Grandma Zhou was as early as when Xiaoju said that she was going to go separately. He just cowered aside and didn't squeak. At this time, she is quite good at observing faces.
"How can we rest assured! Originally, everyone was not all the way! Xiao Ju Niang smiled faintly. Xiao Ju stood aside. Listening to my mother casually say the truth that made the other party stand up to her heart.
Old Man Jiang was choked by Xiao Juniang's words and had nothing to say, originally this was also his true thoughts. Think about it, one family is an illiterate, low-level farmer, and one family is a high-ranking family, if in a good year, how can these two families intersect?
But now their family is in trouble, but it is also temporary, the family's land, house, and shop are still there, and the money in the bank is still there, as long as they go to Beiping to find their son, and then survive this period of war and chaos, they can still live the previous life after they go back.
But the premise is that you must live to find Wei'er in Beiping! It's still not enough to see from the family! In any case, he can't be separated from Xiaoju's family. Old Man Jiang hung his head, his mind kept turning, thinking about how to break the current deadlock now.
He Yuanyuan was really blindsided now, thinking of Ah Bao, who had been following Xiao Ju's family, her complexion was getting better and better, and her body had begun to grow flesh, and then thinking about Ah Bao, who had just fled to Nanyang, she was already a little hungry and dying, and compared the two, her heart was so panicked, she couldn't take care of anything else, her legs were weak, and she knelt down firmly towards Xiao Ju Niang with Ah Bao in her arms.
At the same time, he cried: "Sister Liu, please!" If we are separated, my family Bao will not be able to survive in Peking sooner or later. That kind of sadness, which made Xiao Ju Niang feel sad when she heard it, looked at Ah Bao in He Yuanyuan's arms, and then looked at Xiao Ju who was standing on the side with an expressionless face, and her heart was very entangled.
Xiao Ju Niang saw that Xiao Ju didn't seem to have any reaction to He Yuanyuan's crying, at this time, Ah Bao may also have a premonition, he has never liked to cry, but he actually cried at this time, which made Xiao Ju Niang's heart even more dilemma that insisted on going separately.
When Old Man Jiang and Grandma Zhou saw this scene, they were overjoyed, and felt that He Yuanyuan's method was very good, you know, they have been together for so long, and they still have a little understanding of the temperament of Xiaoju's family. That is, not only is it good, but at the same time it is soft-hearted. Otherwise, these people in their own family would not forget the current situation, and began to reveal their suppressed temperament early.
Since Old Man Jiang and Grandma Zhou thought that He Yuanyuan's kneeling and begging with Ah Bao would make Xiaoju's family soft-hearted, they naturally would not come forward to persuade each other, but stood aside and watched, and begged from time to time.
While the two families were at a standstill, suddenly there was a rush of gongs in the village, and several voices shouted along with the gong: "Attention, everyone! Attention everyone! There are Japanese devils coming towards our village! Hurry up and pack your things and go into the woods!!"
With the sound of the gong, the originally quiet village suddenly became a chicken and a dog jumping, and it didn't take long for the village road to be crowded with villagers carrying parcels, carrying family burdens, driving cattle and sheep to drag children and daughters.
Xiao Ju was also anxious at this time, and hurriedly stopped a villager who ran by and asked, "This uncle, is there really a Japanese devil coming?" ”
"Of course it's true! This is the news from the outpost arranged by our village at the entrance of the village, if you don't follow the group quickly, these Japanese soldiers are ruthless, if they are caught, there is a chance that they will not escape their lives. The villager hurriedly said this, and then hurried away.
When Xiao Ju heard this, how could she care about this contradiction between her family and Bao's family, and then she would run for her life first. Hurriedly said to He Yuanyuan, who was still kneeling there: "Aunt He, why are you still kneeling there?" If you don't hurry up and collect your things and leave, didn't you hear that the Japanese soldiers were coming? ”
Everyone is a person who has fled for a long time, and on the road not only encountered bandits, national troops, but also Japanese soldiers, so naturally they know what virtues those Japanese soldiers are.
Fortunately, because the stove is not yet good, everything is still in the car. Liu Zhu had already pushed the tricycle quickly, Xiao Juniang hugged Zhuang Zhuang and put it on the donkey cart, and several people from the Bao family also hurriedly climbed onto the donkey cart, and the two families temporarily put down the entanglement of separating or not separating, and merged into the team of villagers who fled.
Xiao Ju's family and Ah Bao's family followed the villagers to the mountain forest behind this village, because there was no road, the donkey cart could not enter the mountain forest, Ah Bao's family couldn't, so they had to get out of the car a little helplessly, and Xiao Ju asked her mother to untie the donkey to the bolted car cover, so that everyone could drive the donkey into the mountain first, and she would chase after the donkey cart when she dealt with it.
Xiao Ju's family knew Xiao Ju's ability, and they obeyed Xiao Ju's arrangement without any objection and drove the donkey towards the mountains and forests. And the tricycle full of Ah Bao's belongings, because there is no road in the mountains and forests, there is no way to enter at all, and if they give it up, Ah Bao's family is reluctant.
In the end, Old Man Jiang and Grandma Zhou couldn't, so they had to carry some things each, and the rest was carried by Liu Zhu, as for He Yuanyuan, because he was holding Bao, he couldn't take anything. However, in her eyes, nothing is as important as Bao.
Xiao Ju and the others all entered the mountains and forests, but no one paid attention, and quietly received a small space for the donkey cart and a bag of surplus grain on the cart. Then he picked up the remaining half of the bag of grain and chased in the direction of Niang and Zhuangzhuang.
Soon, Xiaoju caught up with her family, put the grain on her shoulder on the donkey's back, and let her mother lead her, while she herself took her strong hand and followed the villagers to run deep into the mountains and forests.
It may be that when people's lives are at stake, their potential is endless. Ah Bao's family went north empty-handed all the way, and they still felt unbearable, at this time, in order to survive, they were still carrying a package, and they even kept up with the speed of Xiaoju's family's escape, and they didn't pull down a single step.
As the villagers ran in the mountains and forests for most of the day, the speed of the advance slowed down, but everyone still did not stop, and continued to take advantage of the night to walk towards the mountains and forests. Because Xiao Ju didn't understand the situation, she asked her family to continue to go deeper with the crowd. Ah Bao's family, after the request of Xiaoju's family to separate just now, how dare they chirp crookedly, not to mention that they don't know if there are Japanese chasing after them, and they all follow silently.
It was not until midnight that the villagers stopped, and according to their families and friends, they each found a random place to rest in the mountains and forests, and began to take out dry food and water to eat. Looking at this situation, we are accustomed to this kind of thing today.
Xiao Ju's family didn't prepare dry food, only half a bag of grain noodles on the donkey's back, plus there was no food at noon, so he was already hungry and couldn't stand it. But everyone has fled for so long, and they have long been accustomed to this situation, and the strange thing is that Ah Bao didn't cry because of hunger, otherwise it would be really difficult.
Looking at the surrounding villagers who were eating dry food, Xiao Ju stood up and said, "Mother, I'll go get some firewood and come back, you and your uncle will build a stove, and we can get some food." ”
Xiao Ju Niang didn't agree, but just advised: "Be careful!" Come back early! Xiao Ju walked deeper into the deep forest. (To be continued.) )
