Chapter 5: On the Run
She was afraid that her son would drill the horns just now.
An older boy will eat his cousin's vinegar.
This is not something that a child of a scholar would do.
As a noblewoman, she doesn't spend much time with her children.
After giving birth to a child, the child is served by a special nurse and maid.
When it was time for his son to become enlightened, he moved directly to the outer courtyard to live, and he could only see each other in the morning and evening.
She is not worried about this, the boy has to start training early, she is a mother, but she is also a wife.
Whether the son's status is good or not depends on the ability of the mother, if the mother is the mother, there is no weight in the husband's heart, then the child will not be favored by the husband.
As a qualified clan wife, she has a lot of things, and she has to take care of her husband and take care of family affairs, which is not very easy.
These circumstances lead to little time for the mother and child to spend together, and she knows that the relationship between the child and her is not deep.
But in an era when filial piety is greater than heaven, she is not afraid that her son will be unfilial in the future.
The general environment does not allow it, and the younger generation will definitely be filial to the elders if they want to live well.
If the son is not filial, his reputation will definitely stink.
It simply cut off his Qingyun Road.
Disobedience and unfilial piety is a felony.
If it is confirmed, it is a dead end
If the son wants to go up, he will not be stupid.
Now I see that my son is very clear, he will not be so stupid.
And she is definitely a state of mother-kindness and filial piety, which is really good.
In her opinion, as long as there is a bond between mother and son, it is good.
That kind of mother-son relationship can't be done at all, and the education she received since she was a child allowed her to maintain enough sanity.
The reason why she told her this time was that she was afraid that her son would commit her husband's taboo and make her husband disgusted with his son in his heart.
Hearing Shao's words, Ling Xiao smiled, "Mother! The child is already an adult, not a child. ”
Shaw smiled slightly, his son at this moment is like a little adult, and it's okay.
She gently patted her sleepy nephew in her arms, who was still too young.
Now she is relieved that her son is adapting well.
Then in the future, the two brothers will be united.
Ling Xiao glanced at the little child.
A three-year-old kid.
She wasn't jealous of the kid at all.
If he grows up well, it will be a good thing for the Lu family.
The original owner once wanted his younger siblings, but he was too lonely.
But I don't know what the reason is, the Lu family and his wife only have one child from the original owner.
After Ling Xiao came through, because of the heartache, he was not very affectionate to the cousin of the original owner.
Children are very sensitive, and they are also very average to Ling Xiao, but the original parents are not good to their children.
Ling Xiao can see clearly that Lu Jing is much more pleasing than the original owner, as the eldest son of the original owner, he has received a relatively strict orthodox education since he was a child, and he naturally looks like a little adult.
And Lu Jing is obviously coquettish and cute, and there are a lot of routines. It's just that the two of them are still eating this set.
In such a comparison, it seems that Ling Xiao's speech and demeanor are much colder, and she has no intention of changing it.
It is impossible for her to change it at all, because if she does, the original owner's character will collapse.
First of all, the education of the original owner made it impossible for him to be coquettish and cute.
When Ling Xiao came through, he wouldn't do it.
It's better for her to keep the original way of getting along.
But I didn't feel very good.
Poor original owner.
No contrast, no harm.
The original owner may not have felt it before.
But wait until his cousin is sent over.
It should be that the taste in my heart is not very pleasant,
Ling Xiao found that the situation between them was not very different.
The kid quickly accepted the original owner's father and mother, and he was very favored, and the three of them seemed to be a family.
So if the original owner is still there, what will the original owner who has been strictly required think? That's too much of a contrast, isn't it?
Anyway, Ling Xiao feels that this is not a very good situation for the original owner, obviously his biological parents, but he is better to his nephew than his son, poor original owner.
She is very favored by the little child, she pretends not to see it, and she has no feelings for the Lu family and his wife.
She was hoping that someone would grab their attention so that she could make a small gesture.
If you are concerned by the Lu family and his wife, it will be difficult to do anything.
treats Lu Jing, she is passable on the surface.
She is an obedient and serious person.
It's just busy with schoolwork.
Something that should be delivered must be delivered.
will never let others think that she neglects her cousin.
To know that this is also part of the reputation, it is important to pay attention.
Now, she doesn't care about her pets, she understands the seriousness of the situation.
Even if the original owner's father and mother value their nephew more, it is a drizzle compared to the troubled times.
The thought of the chaos in the whole place made her feel very heavy, and on the way to escape, many people had already fallen.
The rest of the people fled on their own, not caring about the lives of others, they had become numb.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ling Xiao suddenly remembered a sentence and said: I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world.
On this way of fleeing, the people who fled often called for their children and daughters, and each took care of himself.
There are really a lot of people who go south with the Lu family, and it can be regarded as a big convoy.
Many people who knew that the barbarians were going to call fled their homes.
More people joined the fleeing ranks along the way.
Ling Xiao's mood was very heavy.
Such a massive migration.
It is one of the five great migrations of the Hakka people in history.
Many of the ancestors of the Hakka people were mainly these people who fled south.
They were the pure Han Chinese, but later they were always known as the Hakkas.
This is because their descendants, even if they settle in the south, still regard themselves as guests.
Even later, the Hakka people have always maintained the customs and language habits from their hometown.
The Hakka language spoken by the Hakka people still bears a deep imprint of ancient Chinese in their speeches.
And for a long time, the turmoil swept away the culture of the Northlands.
On the contrary, the Hakka people who went south retained a lot of customs and habits.
Ling Xiao thought of this period of history and was very helpless.
Civilization was thus destroyed by barbarism.
But what can she do as a seven-year-old child?
can only obey the instructions of the elders and let them worry less.
On the way to escape, most of the people walked in the same place as people they knew well.
Everyone is not looking good, because they don't know what their future holds.
I don't know if there are pursuers behind them? They can only flee with their families and their savings.
There is more bad news to come, many places in the imperial court have fallen, and many people have fallen under the iron hooves of the barbarians.
These news intensified the anxiety of the fugitives, and many people's hearts began to be disturbed, and that kind of anxiety infected many people.
More people began to speed up, trying to escape from the place that turned into a battlefield at no known point.
They must go to the mild and safe south and give their families a safe place.
Everyone was in a state of panic.
Panic and fear.
Many people's hearts are completely upset.
This is the result of a series of bad news.
What's even more terrifying is when many people take the road of flight.
More dangers were discovered, and many people fell into the grass on the way.
They may not be able to fight against the barbarian soldiers, but they are quite powerful against their peers.
In the process of fleeing, there are always people who have their property taken away and their children taken captive.
Sometimes the fugitives are in a state where there are wolves in front and tigers in the back.
Ling Xiao's team was also robbed.
Those people are robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
Snatching someone else's property.
These people.
It's simply taking advantage of the fire.
Ling Xiao was a little scoffing.
What robs the rich and helps the poor? Isn't it just robbing someone else's property?
What do you say to rob the rich and help the poor! Is it a sin for someone else to be rich? Bullshit!
Many people's money and property were robbed in this way, including the property of the Lu family.
Even the slaves who traveled together gradually decreased due to various reasons, and there were fewer and fewer of them.
There are many times when people don't care about each other and only think about how to survive.
In the process of fleeing, the Lu family abandoned most of their property, and the slaves disappeared.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao kept catching Lu Jing, plus the Shaw Family, and in the end, the four of them in the family depended on each other.
Lu Jing's children are still young, and they can't walk at all, and they have been carried by two adults, mainly the head of the Lu family.
As for Ling Xiao, she kept walking, and she was tired at first, but fortunately, she still persevered.
When he arrived in a certain town, Lu Jing was unexpectedly sick, with a high fever, and he couldn't afford to get sick.
It should have been during the migration, and he was protected by a lot of fright.
No matter how much the adults take care of them, the conditions are not as good as before.
He was also a small child, with a delicate body.
It's a little unbearable.
He was sick.
The little man had a fever.
The head of the Lu family was very anxious.
This is his brother's only bloodline.
The energy of the Lu family's parents was attracted.
No one cared about Ling Xiao, she didn't care about this situation.
She felt that she was living more self-consciously, and she could take the opportunity to take a break.
Of course, she understands that if she wants to completely let herself go, there will be a price.
There is no such thing as being able to let go of oneself and retain one's original benefits.
Even she would have a whim, what would happen if she threw those who were bent on letting go of themselves in the future into the troubled times?
Hahaha, they will be ecstatic, this is what they are pursuing.
In troubled times, what are the rules and regulations that bind their nature?
They can do whatever they want, and they can do it.
Reciprocally, the opponent also has the same rights.
Don't you know that people who let go of themselves will live well?
If you ask for kindness, you should be very satisfied.
Of course, Ling Xiao understood it in his heart at this moment.
It's just a thought.
It should not exist.
Soon Ling Xiao found that he had to start working.
Because the slave was gone, she couldn't do it if she didn't do it.
Dizzy! The children of the scholars are now children of poor families.
Ling Xiao scolded him, which just verified the sentence: the children of the poor are in charge early.
Alas! She now has to boil the medicine, because the cousin has to take the medicine, and the mother of the original owner has to take care of the child, and the father has to find out the situation.
The only person left is not her, who is the elder brother, who is responsible for boiling medicine.
She didn't say anything, and began to boil medicine and add some miscellaneous things.
Take the opportunity to get some seeds for food crops.
For the small actions of Ling Xiao.
The head of the Lu family didn't notice it at all.
He was worried, and his hair was gray.
On the one hand, his nephew's condition, he was a little afraid that his nephew would not get better.
So how can he be worthy of his brother? If something goes wrong, how should I explain to my brother when I see him underground in the future?
He had a headache just thinking about it, and he had to press his temples to stop the pain.
On the one hand, the head of the Lu family got the latest news, and the situation was very bad.
Behind the refugees were barbarian cavalry.
This is an even more vexing issue.
