The old woman leaned her hand behind her with difficulty, her fingers hooked a piece of yellowed cloth, because her hand was weak, she didn't move, and motioned to Lan Shuying to help her with her eyes.

Lan Shuying pulled the thing out and found that it was a small packet of sun-dried potatoes, cut into slices and dried, the number was only six or seven pieces, dry and wrinkled and yellow, and some were black, it didn't look very appetizing, but the old woman obviously swallowed saliva.

She was very hungry, but she kept these few pieces of dried yams, and stubbornly refused to eat them.

"To the west, there is a Huangjia village on the other side of the mountain...... My son's family lives at the entrance of the village, and there is a jujube tree in front of the door, which is very recognizable, please bring these to them, don't let my son see them......" The old woman begged with little confidence, "I, I have nothing to give you, when I come to the Lord of Yama, I will definitely say more good things to the girl, and I will be reincarnated in the next life, and I will make offerings in the morning and dusk to repay the girl's kindness......"

Lan Shuying didn't ask her why she didn't eat it herself.

Eighty percent of the family left rations for her, and the old man was reluctant to touch it, but he specifically explained not to let her son see it, which is interesting.

"No food at home?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and replied heavily, "No...... All let the bandits rob them. ”

"Does the government care?"

"Tube? I can't manage it...... The northern barbarians are about to fight, they can't even worry about themselves, how can anyone protect our group of poor bastards......"

Lan Shuying was stunned, frowned again, and seeing the old woman's firm attitude, she finally nodded, took the small cloth bag, and said: "I'm lost in this mountain, I just don't know how to go, I don't need to say much, please show me the way, I'll go." ”

The old woman was overjoyed, she didn't catch her breath, and coughed violently for a while before telling her the direction.

After saying this, the last thing in the old woman's heart can be regarded as a result.

She's dead.

……

Lan Shuying carried the body to a nearby natural cave, covered the entrance of the cave with grass and trees, and carried light work towards Huangjia Village.

Starting from the mountain spring, she first had to climb to the top of a mountain, and then go down the mountain to Huangjia Village on the other side.

The road down the mountain was rugged and difficult, and by the time she could see the houses in Huangjia Village, it was already dusk.

Lan Shuying didn't know what the current situation was in the battle between the Sword Emperor and the Sword Emperor, and now if she could cross Huangjia Village, even if she completely broke away from White Tiger Ridge, the first step of escape would be successful.

But her wedding dress was too dazzling, and there were still people walking around the village at this time, so she hid in the forest for the time being, hid herself by the tall canopy, and took out a few wild fruits picked on the road and ate them quietly.

There is almost no cooking smoke in the village, because it has just been visited by bandits, and there is probably not much food left.

Even if some people still have food at home, they probably don't dare to cook arrogantly.

Finally waited until it was dark, and a black shadow floated out of the forest, jumped in more than a dozen steps, and finally stopped under the jujube tree in the old woman's mouth.

In ancient times, many places in the countryside had the custom of not closing their doors at night, and to be honest, the village that had just been swept by bandits really had nothing to steal, Lan Shuying walked in directly from the main gate.

There were no candles lit in the house, but there was a fire burning in one room, and the three children, big and small, were sleeping soundly on the floor in the corner.

The couple sat by the fire.

"There is really nothing to eat at home, and if it goes on like this, they can only take the eldest girl and the second girl away......" said the man with a meaty face.

The woman hung her head and did not say anything, and she stiffened her movements to add firewood, not paying attention to raising the fire high, almost burning her clothes.

The man grabbed her and scolded angrily: "Your brain is broken? Want to set our house on fire? ”

"The house...... What kind of house do you want, your mother asked you to send it to the mountains, and tomorrow you will sell your daughter, and after that, you should sell me to Qinglou, as long as you can fill your stomach, how can you care about our life or death? The woman finally raised her eyes, a sneer on her numb face, and then she was slapped by the man.

Blood gushed out from the corners of her mouth, and she subconsciously protected her stomach.

The woman spit out a bloody tooth, still sneering, she couldn't beat him, there was no suspense about this, but as a mother, she couldn't watch this man sell her hard-earned daughter.

The children woke up, they seemed to be accustomed to this scene, numb, silent, slowly crawling around the woman like a yellow spring ghost, protecting her with a weak force.

Not a single person spoke.

Even the fire is oppressive.

Lan Shuying watched for a while, until the youngest girl found her.

"You, are you a human or a ghost?" The man was startled.

Don't blame him for asking.

In the light of the fire, the girl was wearing a red wedding dress, and her face with her makeup washed looked almost pale in the dark, and she stared at it expressionlessly, her eyes so deep that it made people's hearts tremble.

The girl spoke, "Your mother asked me to come to you. ”

The man stood up suddenly, his expression changed for a while, and his teeth collided, "She, she's still alive?" ”

Lan Shuying stared at him, her red lips curled, admiring his fear.

"If you want her to live, she can live. Do you want her to die...... She'll come back and take you with her. ”

Several children snuggled up to their mothers.

What she said was creepy, but the eyes of these people did not look like they were looking at an uninvited guest, especially the youngest girl, as if they were looking at a hero.

Lan Shuying understood.

The man was driven out of tyranny in fear, and he picked up a wooden stick and hit her in the head!

Lan Shuying avoided the stick, sprinkled a handful of powder into the fire, and motioned for the woman to retreat away with the child, and the woman obediently did so.

His steps were shaky, and the man gradually went crazy, and his mouth kept cursing.

From time to time, she scolded the old woman for being an old immortal, she would only spoil food at home, and dare to steal food, she would starve to death in the mountains!

From time to time, he scolded his mother-in-law for making trouble for him, and he couldn't give birth to a boy, and he knew what he wanted to eat with him all day long, where did he get food?

At the end, he laughed wildly and threw away the wooden stick, his eyes flashed with evil light, and he pounced on Lan Shuying, "Little beauty, which family's daughter-in-law are you, follow me, when this dead woman gives birth to a son for me, Lao Tzu will sell them all, and I will be rich!" You follow me, eat and drink spicy, hahaha! ”

Lan Shuying dodged again: "I'm just afraid that you can't even afford to eat the incense and candles given by your descendants." ”

The man looked at her stunned for two seconds, and suddenly his face was frightened, and he hugged his head and shouted that there are ghosts, ghosts!

He would cry and laugh, his face and neck were scratched by himself, and he grabbed his throat with both hands, "I'll strangle you, strangle you, you female ghost...... Don't try to scare Lao Tzu, you die! ”

"Mother, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......"

The woman hugged the children tighter, and she looked at the girl on the other side of the fire, and hope suddenly rose in her heart.
