526 Famine and the Spiritual Spring2
The child's name is Qin Xiaole, and he is ten years old this year.
Lan Shuying subconsciously glanced at her, this child looked like he had been suffering for a long time, his face was yellow and thin, and he was only a few taels more than a bone frame.
Say she's a ten-year-old? No, looking at this appearance, you can be seven or eight years old, and you will be severely stunted.
Qin Xiaole is a well-known figure in this ravine, but that is not a good reputation. She is notoriously bad at life, Ke Father and Mother, and Ke Fu.
She bought it from outside the mountain a few years ago and used it as a child daughter-in-law for the stupid son of the Huang family.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaole had just been in the Huang family for a few days, and the stupid son who was two years older than her stepped on the air when he climbed a tree, and the person fell from a height of more than three meters, his brain burst, and he fell to his death on the spot.
At that time, there were rumors that Qin Xiaole was hard, Kefu.
The matter of buying her was done by an uncle of the Huang family, a person named Huang Jinbao, and there was a person who came back with Huang Jinbao who had a lot of trouble, and he chewed his tongue with the neighbors and said more.
A few years ago, when Qin Xiaole's mother gave birth to her little sister, Qin Xiaole, who was five years old at the time, was crying desperately outside the house.
When the villagers asked her what she was crying about, she said she saw her mother gone.
After a while, the midwife came out with a sigh, and sure enough, the mother had gone.
Some people say that it is because children's eyes are bright and they can see unclean things.
But the midwife told her daughter-in-law that she estimated that the mother and daughter should have been safe, and she was afraid that it was because she was cursed by Qin Xiaole's crow's mouth that she killed a big living person!
After that, Qin Xiaole was infamous as his mother.
There is one less laborer in the family, Qin Xiaole's father can only work harder, one day he slipped to the bottom of the slope when he was walking on the mountain road in the rain, and was rescued home and lay down for a few days, and also went.
The grandfather of the Qin family has more than this son, and he has always suspected that Xiao Le's father is not his species. The son and daughter-in-law are gone, leaving behind two female dolls, the older one is not very capable of working, and the younger one will only open his mouth to ask for milk...... These two sisters, the grandfather of the Qin family is not happy to raise.
It just so happened that there was a person in the village who wanted to buy a child daughter-in-law, so he sold Qin Xiaole very happily.
Qin Xiaole was young at the time, but she knew in her heart that if she wasn't at home, her sister would definitely not survive! Therefore, she held the little dead and did not let go.
Huang Jinbao thought to himself, just a milk doll, let her eat, how much can she eat? Just take her back too, watch her life, and if she can't feed her, she will be taken to the mountains and buried. If he grows up, he will be a beautiful girl with this face, just worthy of his youngest son.
He agreed, took the two children back together, reimbursed the money for buying Qin Xiaole from Mrs. Huang, and asked for two loads of beans as a thank you gift.
At the beginning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Huang family were quite rare Qin Xiaole, because this female doll was handsome and looked smart, and they were counting on letting her give birth to a fool in the future, she should also be smart and beautiful.
Who knows, Qin Xiaole came, but the only male in the family was killed!
How can she still have a good face for her now?
Mrs. Huang snatched Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, she pinched Xiaoxiao, and pinched Qin Xiaole's life, since then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have trampled her to death, and they haven't let her idle for a day in five years.
Get up early to cook rice and boil water, serve them to eat and wash their faces, and clean and wash their clothes inside and out.
If there is nothing to do at home, they will send Qin Xiaole to work in the field, even if she can't do much, she is not allowed to rest anyway.
This hard life went on, and one day, Huangjia Village was robbed.
That night, there was a thunderbolt in the sky, a loud bang, and a flash flood that swept away many houses and fertile fields, and the fruit groves on the hillsides could not be counted on.
The worst thing is that there is only one way out of the mountain, and it is tightly blocked.
There are more than 100 mouths in the village, how long can the surplus food at home last?
When the new crops could not grow, the villagers began to eat wild fruits, hunt mountain beasts, and then eat the leaves and rhizomes of the crops, pluck the leaves, and peel the bark......
Now everything that can be eaten on the mountain has been eaten, and the rest are fierce beasts that they cannot afford to provoke.
More than a dozen people who wanted to take a detour out of the mountain died one after another, so let's dig the road. But digging the road requires strength, and these strong men have to eat enough before they have the strength to work, and the problem goes back to the problem:
Where do the rations come from?
Some people who are extremely hungry turn their attention to their own kind, weaker than themselves.
……
"What do you want?" Lan Shuying asked Qin Xiaole.
Qin Xiaole respectfully knelt down and kowtowed, and said eagerly: "Great Immortal, please save my sister!" ”
Xiaoxiao is five years old this year, she is a quiet little girl who has no sense of existence, she is a burden to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Huang family who talk about it every day, but she is Qin Xiaole's spiritual pillar.
Just yesterday, the village chief brought someone to Huang's house and took Xiaoxiao away from the old lady.
Qin Xiaole was dragged by the Huang family's daughter-in-law and couldn't keep up with them, she only saw the village chief walking at the back, and he took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and quietly stuffed three pieces of bread for Mrs. Huang.
These people hadn't said a word the whole time, so Qin Xiaole didn't know where they were going or what they were going to do with Xiaoxiao.
"Milk candy, check where Xiaoxiao is." Lan Shuying said with a frown.
At first, she thought of one word: easy children and food.
When there is really nothing to eat, there is not much hope of survival, and at this time, some people are not morally bound and are likely to play with the idea of children.
If your own children can't bear it, then you will exchange it with someone else's house and bring someone else's child over to eat.
But since the village chief has food in his hands, why should he make this deal with the old lady?
Three pieces of bread, for a child?
"It's ridiculous." She said coldly.
Milk Candy has already stolen the plot, but at the moment this situation makes her not have the heart to look at it, she just listened to Milk Candy say that the protagonist is not in this village.
In other words, she has to survive in this famine ghost place first, and then leave with Xiaoxiao, and the next step is to destroy the plot.
"Now this body is weak in hands and feet, and I can't go far, so I have to find something to eat first......
Qin Xiaole hurriedly said: "Daxian, my grandmother and mother-in-law are kind this morning, give me a handful of flour, you can eat it quickly!" ”
She only thought that when Daxian was full, she could help her save her sister! But he didn't want to, this one suddenly got angry and brushed those "flours" to the ground.
"Daisen......?" Qin Xiaole shouted in fright.
Lan Shuying glanced at this thing in disgust, "You were deceived by her, this is not noodles, it is soil." ”
This old lady Huang is not a thing!
She was in cahoots with her daughter-in-law, eating the cakes she had exchanged for Xiaoxiao, but she used Guanyin soil to deceive Qin Xiaole.
The children are still grateful to them, but they don't know that if they eat too much of this thing, it will accumulate in the stomach and cannot be resolved, and people will die of swelling!
