Chapter 375: Who Expected to Be the Executioner
The people in the village were all alarmed, He Xiangxi was eating, and when he heard this, he knew that there was something wrong with the water supply.
He hurriedly went to Zhou's house to borrow a donkey cart and went to Yazikou, where there were more than 20 people outside the sturdy wooden fence, including the family who asked for water to drink in the afternoon.
It looks like it's a big family.
He Xiangxi was anxious and tried to persuade them to retreat, "There is not much water in the village, and in the afternoon, seeing the child's mouth chapped, he relented and gave a pot of water." ”
Xie Wang hugged his three-year-old child, and said with red eyes: "Uncle, we have no way, we have walked a few villages, and no one else has given water, we have no way." ”
"Uncle, please help us, we are really desperate."
Along the way, no one gave them water, and they didn't even avoid fear, and later spent a few pots of water to survive until now.
Now you can't change money for water.
In addition, the county seat could not enter, and they were cornered.
Can't go any further.
"It's not that I don't help you, our village is also very difficult, for your sake, the village will give you a few more pots of water, and you can go to other places to make a living."
He Xiangxi couldn't bear it, and finally decided to give them a few more pots of water, and hoped that they would not embarrass the village for the sake of a few pots of water.
Xie Yong, a man dressed in a brown-gray short, knelt on the ground with a "poof", his chapped and white lips opened slightly, "Uncle, please, the child is still young, I can't stand it, my girl...... It's dead, and I can't risk my other kids anymore. ”
"Uncle, please."
After saying that, he kowtowed violently, and blood came out of his forehead.
"I can't help it, I can't help it, child, don't embarrass uncle, uncle can't help it." He Xiangxi's voice choked.
In the next second, everyone else knelt on the ground, old and young, and another man, Xie Gang, was holding a weak old man in his arms, and he said hoarsely with red eyes, "Uncle, please, my father can't stand it anymore, please." ”
The people in the village were a little unbearable and wanted to open their mouths to let them in, but who dared to joke with their lives at this time.
When Su Jin and Qi Yunqing came in the carriage, they saw this scene, and the two had mixed feelings, and a sadness rose in their hearts.
He Xiangxi seemed to be unable to control his emotions, and wiped two handfuls of tears from his back.
Su Jin asked Qi Yunqing to carry down the two buckets of water on the carriage, and asked people to come to the small fence gate and put the water outside.
She pursed her lips and forced herself not to be soft-hearted, "Uncles and aunts, there is not much water left in our village, and these two buckets of water are the greatest help to our village." ”
Xie Wang shook his head with tears in his eyes, "Little lady, you are also a person who is about to be a mother, please take pity on the child." ”
Su Jin stretched out her hand and touched her stomach, feeling extremely uncomfortable, she didn't want people to see her soft-heartedness, so she lowered her eyes, "It's because I'm about to become a mother that I will give these two buckets of water." ”
Qi Yunqing grabbed her shoulder and patted her lightly to show reassurance.
"Don't embarrass us, carry the water and go." He Xiangxi faced them again, hardening his heart.
"Uncle, please, help us, my child is only three or four years old, it's too cruel, please uncle take in our children, just take in the children."
Xie Yong's forehead was broken, and something would definitely happen if he continued to knock down, but he didn't mean to stop at all.
The sunset in the west stained half of the sky red, and the distant mountains overlapped as if it were picturesque.
Who would have thought that this was the executioner.
The old man in Xie Gang's arms looked at the people in the fence casually, and made a begging mouth, but he didn't have a chance to say the word out loud.
He's dead.
The old man's last glance of prayer made Su Jin's body stiffen, as if she was in an ice cellar, and she was so cold that she shivered and shivered.
She leaned against Qi Yunqing's chest and turned her face sideways.
Xie Gang roared hoarsely, "Dad, Dad,...... Woo woo...... I'm sorry, daddy......"
cried for a while, "Daddy......"
"Old man......"
"Grandpa......"
He Xiangxi didn't expect the old man to die right under their noses, and the hand hanging by his side trembled.
After a long time, a large family outside the fence was about to leave, Xie Yong's rough face was stained with blood, and it was extremely infiltrating, he stepped forward and lifted two buckets of water, so hoarse that he couldn't be hoarse anymore, "Thank you." ”
Even if the village let them in, his father wouldn't be able to live.
"Wait a minute." The woman said in a muffled voice, "Stay, child." ”
Su Jin knew what she might face in the future, but she knew that if she didn't make any moves, her conscience would not be at ease in her life.
The Xie family looked at her, their eyes radiated a crystal light, Xie Wang couldn't help crying again, knelt on the ground with the child in his arms, and kowtowed three times. "Thank you, thank you."
The others followed suit.
"Yunqing's daughter-in-law ......"
He Xiangxi sighed, but said nothing.
Su Jin looked at the people of Crescent Village, who had already come to most of the village at this time, and she raised her voice slightly, "Uncles and aunts, please rest assured, the water for these children is all from the Xiao Qi family, and it will not affect the village." ”
No one in the village said anything against it.
He Xiangxi sighed again, raised his hand and asked the small wooden door to be opened, and asked the Xie family to send the child over.
The three- and four-year-old little boy was reluctant to let go of his mother, hugged Xie Wang's neck, and cried silently, "Mother, I'm ...... I don't want ...... Belch...... Go. ”
"Obedient, Niu Niu is obedient, Niu Niu is obedient, go to the big sister, you want the big sister's obedience, don't mess around, you know?"
Xie Wang held his little face with both hands, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he reluctantly kissed his cheek a few times.
Then she looked at the seven or eight-year-old girl next to her, took her hand, and said solemnly: "Big girl, take care of your brother and take care of yourself." ”
"Mother......" The girl named Daya pursed her mouth and cried and sobbed.
Xie Yong squatted down, hugged the two sisters and brothers fiercely, and forcibly endured, "Don't cry, my father and mother are here, and I won't go far." ”
Then he pushed the male and female babies into hard, "Don't mess around." ”
Qi Yunqing glanced down at the woman in his arms, his eyes swept a trace of worry, and hugged her very tightly.
Xie Wang took out a cloth bag from his arms, stretched out his hand through the fence and handed it to Su Jin, and said gratefully: "Little lady, this is all our belongings, please take care of the children, they are very well-behaved and diligent, if you cause trouble to the little lady, please bear with them more." ”
Then she said: "Auntie, thank you, you are very kind, our Xie family is unforgettable, if we can survive this hurdle, we must be a cow and a horse to thank you." ”
Su Jin didn't take the cashier, "Take it back, since I let you keep the children, I will definitely take good care of them." ”
She paused, "I'm sorry I can't help all of you." ”
The Xie family was stunned, their eyes were red, and Xie Gang said: "The little lady has helped us a lot, we have embarrassed you, don't blame us." ”
