couldn't go out that day, and Yang Huairen was really idle, so he was looking for something to do. Xiao Qi was worried that Yang Huairen would have any accidents when he saw Tusi tomorrow, so he went out of the village by himself and went to the nearest town to contact the guards who secretly followed Yang Huairen and his party, and asked them to prepare in disguise in advance.

And Tianba's younger brother went to the old man's house last night to carry firewood, and found that the old man's house did not have much firewood, such a cold day, I was afraid that their arrival would make the two families in the village have no firewood to burn to keep warm, so he had to Qusha old man lead the way, he wanted to go to the forest to cut some firewood and come back.

The old man couldn't resist him, so he had to take him to a forest not far from the village and a good view to collect firewood, so that the three of them could take care of each other and not be afraid of any accidents.

Lan Ruoxin and Tie Xiangyu, two women, saw that there were no decent quilts or mattresses in this house, and the two children did not have any clothes that could really keep them warm, so they wanted to re-sew the quilts and cloth curtains on the carriages they brought into clothes or quilts for the two children to use.

It's a pity that the two heroines are better than martial arts, and they are actually not very good at needlework such as female workers, and they are usually done by the maids and mothers at home, so in the end, it became a little girl Asa sewing clothes, and the two of them could only observe from the sidelines.

Yang Huairen was the only one left with nothing to do, and seeing that others were busy, he had to hug Aji to tease him, even if he looked at the child, his own child couldn't see it if he wanted to, so it could be regarded as relieving a father's feelings of missing his wife and children.

Aggie was too young to understand what the world was like or what what was happening in the village meant to him.

Yang Huairen teased him a little, and he "giggled" and laughed from ear to ear, making Yang Huairen feel that maybe this was a good thing for him, the more people grow up, the more they understand too many things, but they will lose the simplest happiness.

Therefore, Yang Huairen hopes that he can help Aji get his parents back, so that Aji's childhood can continue to be so simple and happy.

Xiao Qi came back at noon, and bought a bag of rice, a large bag of dried meat, and two bags of salt, and the five of them stayed in the village for the time being, and it was not a matter to count on the little dry food they had with them.

He also really wanted to hire a car to pull some back, but unfortunately the roads are difficult now, and the larger vehicles really can't enter the village under such road conditions, and bringing those guards back is easy to expose their identities.

The poor mountain people in this village are used to eating two meals a day, or even one meal a day, divided into two parts in the morning and evening, especially in such winters, they try not to go out if they can, and save their physical strength to ensure that they are not too hungry and panicked.

But Tianba's younger brother had just come back from chopping wood, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger. The conditions are too simple, and Yang Huairen can only try to rely on his cooking skills to make something that everyone can like to eat to replenish his physical strength and body temperature.

There was only one pot for boiling water, and now it is used as a pot for boiling water, and it is also used as a temporary rice pot and soup pot. First, stuff a large jar full of rice, put it out when the rice is cooked, and then go to boil a jar of soup with dried mountain mushrooms that the old man picked back from the mountain.

There were no good ingredients in the soup, nothing more than mountain mushrooms, torn into small pieces of jerky, and those dried mountain vegetables that Asa had saved, and cooked with salt, and the taste was barely reasonable.

If the bowl is not enough, there is no use, first scoop the fragrant rice, then pour the fragrant mountain mushroom soup on the rice, and then mix it to make a bibimbap, but even so, it is an extremely rare delicacy in the mountains.

Simple and poor people, the requirements for taste are really not high, so they are also very easy to satisfy, just such a simple bibimbap, the three children said that sentence again, this is the best thing they have ever eaten in their lives.

Yang Huairen should have a great sense of satisfaction when he heard this, but today, Yang Huairen felt that his nose was sour and his eyes were hazy when he heard it.

Xiao Qi They feel that this meal is not bad, in such a cold day, they can eat a mouthful of hot rice, even if it is the greatest enjoyment, and Tianba's younger brother didn't eat enough last night, and today he went to chop a large pile of firewood like a hill at noon, and he felt even more hungry.

He didn't have such a tricky taste as Yang Huairen, seeing Yang Huairen stuffy so much rice, he was naturally so happy that he just cared about filling his stomach, and the children saw his gluttonous appearance, and they seemed to be infected, and the rice seemed to be particularly sweet.

In the afternoon, I don't know if it was the old man or Qusha spread out, many villagers in the village who had lost their families took gifts to visit these guests, the mountain people are sincere, and the gifts are actually just some mountain goods that can be stored at home, or brown rice in a bamboo tube, which is already a very valuable thing for them.

And their main purpose is to ask Yang Huairen the same question, are their relatives who want to be silent are really alive?

Faced with old or immature faces full of anticipation, Yang Huairen didn't dare to talk too much, and could only tell them his own judgment, saying that their missing family members might still be alive in the world, but because their freedom was restricted, they couldn't get in touch with their families.

At first, they were excited and happy to hear that their family members were probably still alive, but when they remembered the latter sentence, they thought that even if they were still alive, they might have been taken back as slaves by other toasts to work as coolies, and they must have suffered a lot, so they sobbed sadly.

Yang Huairen was the most afraid of others crying, especially that kind of voice, as if it was around his ears and refused to leave, which made his heart soften, and he was twisted and throbbed.

Originally, he didn't want to say these words, but his impulse still made him promise the sad villagers that as long as their families were alive, he would do everything he could to find them back, so that the villagers could reunite as a family and continue their families.

The old man actually knew that Yang Huairen would definitely do his best, but he also knew that this matter was not something that could be successful after saying it, so he could only persuade the people in the village to have hope and make other preparations at the same time.

The villagers also understood in their hearts, so they had to say words of gratitude as if they were grateful, and then they went home with their own arms.

Yang Huairen watched them leave, looking at those thin figures, and somehow his heart began to become heavy.
