Chapter 22: Let go of my family
Xu Wanjun and others were still relatively lucky, because the carriage was carrying several heavy boxes of silver, so the car did not roll over.
Now, several of them looked at the water more than nine feet deep below, and none of them dared to move half of it.
"Jingluo, let's save a few of them ashore, right?" Seeing their embarrassing situation, the Zhang clan immediately felt soft-hearted.
"Save? Hmph, forget it! Xu Jingluo snorted coldly, hooked his lips, and said coldly: "Mother, don't forget, Master Feng has kindly reminded them to evacuate as soon as possible, but instead of listening, they laughed at us as a bunch of stupid people!" Such a villain with poor conduct, even if we lend a hand now, Xu Wanjun probably takes it for granted, he won't remember our goodness, and even secretly scolded us for being stupid, and he may bite us when he turns around, the story of the farmer and the snake, my mother should have heard it, right? This kind of scum scum is not qualified for us to sympathize with at all! ”
"Well, Jingluo, you are still reasonable, for my mother I almost forgot the previous lesson!" When Zhang heard Xu Jingluo's words, he couldn't help but blush, and he said again and again.
"Master Feng, why don't we set off as soon as possible and continue on our way?" Xu Jingluo strode to Feng Yongsheng's front and said: "Otherwise, the part of the survivors who just escaped from the water will have nothing because all the materials are soaked in the water and have nothing, so they will take risks and snatch our materials without risking their lives. ”
Hearing this, Feng Yongsheng bowed his head slightly, stared at Xu Jingluo with appreciation, and said, "Well, it's still Miss Xu's thoughtfulness! Let's go to the next stop! ”
Then, he faced the people, and at the same time, the procession began to move forward, although he was lucky to escape the flood last night, but after all, he had witnessed the tragic situation after the natural disaster, so that everyone's heart was still like pressing a stone, and they moved forward silently.
Since they were in a hurry early in the morning, and before noon, everyone felt that they were already a little hungry, so when the procession passed a clear pond, Feng Yongsheng ordered the people in the village to park their cars on the dirt slope not far away, and then prepare lunch.
"Mother, can you tell us the story of the farmer and the snake?"
"Yes, yes, my brother and I haven't heard of it, so my mother will tell us about it."
As soon as Xu Jingluo held Runtian with one hand and Yi Bao with the other, sitting on a clean wooden stake, the two cute babies shook her arms and pleaded milkily.
When Xu Jingluo heard this, he rubbed the hair of the two brothers and sisters with a smile, and said, "It's okay." Since you want to hear it, then my mother will tell you about it. ”
"Yay! Mother is so good to us! Runtian and Yi Bao saw that their mother had agreed to their request, and immediately cheered.
Xu Jingluo cleared his throat and began to tell the story of the farmer and the snake vividly: "A long, long time ago, on a cold winter, there was a farmer who found a frozen snake on the side of the road home after the market. He felt that the snake was pitiful, so he put it in his arms. When the heat on his body warmed the snake, the snake quickly awoke, revealed its cruel nature, and inflicted fatal damage on the farmer by biting him. Before he died, the farmer said, 'I deserve this retribution for saving a poor serpent!' ”
This story teaches us that helping others begins with learning to distinguish between good and bad. And then you have to use the right method to keep yourself from being harmed. We can only extend a helping hand to the good people, even if we have done our best to the wicked, their nature will not change, and we must not be merciful to them! Otherwise, it must be us who will be hurt! Got it? ”
"Uh-huh, we get it. Mother, your words, we will always keep in our hearts. ”
Runtian and Yi Bao glanced at each other, blinked their black glass-like eyes, looked at Xu Jingluo together, and said in unison.
"That's good! That's good! Xu Jingluo touched their heads and said with a smile.
At this moment, on the side of the carriage, Cui Ying's shout suddenly came: "Let go!" Let go! Girl, help, help! ”
Xu Jingluo was shocked when he heard this, and immediately looked at the source of the shouting, and found that a middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes forcibly took Cuiying's hand and desperately dragged his mule cart.
This man, with two pupils in two slender cracks, a small fleshy nose in the center of his face, and a small slit at the bottom are two lips that are so thin that they are difficult to see, and his facial features seem to be squeezed together, not so much strange as terrifying. His skin was dark and rough, and his face was like orange peel, bumpy and bumpy, full of pimples.
He lives in Wanli Village, and the people in the village call him Yang Shuigen, who is said to have been beaten for many years, and he is sloppy and rude.
At the beginning, the original owner was seriously ill, and in order to buy medicine, he sold Cuiying to him for five taels of silver.
Cui Ying was beaten and scolded in his hands and suffered a lot, Xu Jingluo The night they left Zhuangzi, Cui Ying escaped while Yang Shuigen was asleep.
"You, you dare to escape?" Yang Shuigen dragged Cui Ying roughly, and pinched her fiercely with one hand, "I can be regarded as letting me find you, you look good tonight." ”
Cui Ying curled up in pain and cried out in panic at Xu Jingluo.
"Girl, girl, help me! Woooooo ”
"Old camel, let Cuiying go." Xu Jing'an rushed forward with an arrow and kicked Yang Shuigen away, Xu Jingluo and Xu Jingling hurriedly protected Cuiying behind them.
"Sister Cuiying, don't be afraid, there are us." Xu Jingluo held Cui Ying's trembling hand tightly.
"Girl, I'm not going to bother you, am I?" Cui Ying shrank in fear, her face full of tears, "But I'd rather die than go with him!" ”
"Don't worry, I won't let you go with him." Xu Jingluo stared at Yang Shuigen with a determined face, "He came just in time, let's make your relationship with him clear today." ”
"Hey, she's the mother-in-law I bought back with money, and I want to clear the relationship? No way. ”
Yang Shuigen rubbed his kicked waist, leaned over with an unkind face, and saw Xu Jingan raise his fist at him, and hurriedly and fearfully took two steps back.
"You guys, do you still have a royal law? Robbing my mother-in-law and beating someone? ”
"Aren't you beating people too? Look at Sister Cuiying's hands? You've choked your blood. Xu Jingling rolled up Cuiying's sleeve and asked angrily.
"What's the matter? I paid for her, let me call and scold her! Yang Shuigen stared at Xu Jingling with a vicious expression.
"You, shameless!" Xu Jingling was disgusted by that gaze, and hurriedly hid behind Xu Jingluo.
"You bought it, didn't you? What about the deed of sale? You take it out and take a look. Xu Jingluo squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Yang Shuigen coldly.
