Looking over, a snowdrift slowly moved towards them.

Lin Tao retreated to the side of the car and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife hidden in the car.

The night was dark with scattered light snow, and the view was not as good as it could be.

When the snowdrift was only five or six meters away from her, she saw that it was a woman, and she was still holding a one- or two-year-old baby in her arms.

The little doll is like a little milk cat with no strength, and there is no word crying for the mother.

The woman slowly raised her head, and the snowdrift on her head fell to her friends, and she saw that her face was blue, her lips were chapped and black, and a thin layer of frost was frozen on her face.

The broken hair on his forehead and his eyebrows were covered with ice stubble.

"Ghosts! Ghosts! Xiao Wu screamed and fled to the back of the car.

"Stop!"

Lin Tao roared, and the woman stopped in place.

She sent the child in her arms to this side, and said tremblingly, "Please, please do well, take my child." ”

Lin Tao tightened her brows.

The woman did not beg for food, nor did she take advantage of the sympathy of the majority for the child and prayed for help.

"Where's your family?" Lin Tao asked.

Judging by the woman's appearance, she had been in the woods for at least a whole day.

It snowed at night, and it was almost impossible for her and her child to survive.

The woman slowly looked back in the direction of the woods from which she had come.

"Eldest and eldest mother, the child's father and grandpa and grandma have protected our mother and mother with their bodies. You, you can do well, give the baby, find, find a place! Don't look at him as small, he is very sensible, you stutter, just don't starve or die. ”

The woman tried again to send the baby to her.

"Mother? That baby is so pitiful. Xiao Wu whispered beside him.

With a pop, Lin Tao pulled out the big knife hidden in the car.

The woman not far away seemed to be startled, and suddenly hugged the child tightly into her arms.

"Mother!" Xiao Wu wanted to say something, but she yelled at her.

"Shut up! When you go out, like you, you will die 800 times earlier! And you! If you give birth to a baby yourself, you have to figure it out by yourself! Don't put your hopes in others! I don't have that idleness, and I don't have that compassion. If you dare to come over today, I will reunite your family! ”

With a wave of the big knife in his hand, he led the ox cart and continued to move forward.

Li Wumei glanced at the old lady's back, and then turned her head to look at the mother and son beside the official road.

The woman's trembling and unsteady form, and the child's crying, all pierced her heart.

She is also a mother, and she has even experienced desperate situations firsthand.

At that time, like this woman, her only thought was that as long as her daughter could live......

But Ming Ming Niang can help them! Why be so ruthless?

However, when she saw the familiar burden and clothes next to the car print behind her, she chuckled in her heart.

Round eyes, cast in front of the car.

"What are you doing in the back? Hurry up and pull the cart. ”

Xiao Wu rubbed his hands and ran forward.

"Mother, I'm sorry."

"If you have the strength to speak, it's better to save yourself from helping the cow cub pull the cart."

"Whoa!"

It was she who misunderstood her mother.

The mother said that she would not help the little baby, but in fact, she wanted to help the woman together.

If they take the child, the woman will have no desire to live, and she will surely die.

That's why the mother said to the woman that she would find her own way for the baby she gave birth.

And he said, Don't put your hope in others.

It means that only she, her mother, will feel sorry for her baby!

It is to let that woman, no matter how helpless she is in the face of a desperate situation, live for the sake of her children!

There are bags of cakes and thick clothes, because it should be enough for the two of them to enter Qingyuan Town!

looked at the old lady's resolute side face, and said again: "Mother! In the future, I will definitely be like you and be a hard-working mother. ”

Lin Tao didn't answer, but when she looked at Xiao Wu, the corner of her eyes swept to the back, and she saw the woman pick up her clothes and baggage, so she turned around.

When people live in the world, they have experienced calamities.

No one can help anyone except their own efforts!

All you can do is face the wind and snow and grit your teeth to move forward!

The heavy snow stopped in the second half of the night, and the road was much easier.

So at dawn, they entered Qingyuan Town.

"Yo! Auntie is here! An officer and soldier guarding the city gate came over with their hands rubbed together.

"Is this another charcoal for An Ye?"

"Yes!" Lin Tao answered.

"Auntie, can you sell me some charcoal?"

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Oops! That's right, in this way, I will see An Ye in a while, tell him, and let him give you a cheaper. Do you think so? ”

The officer and soldier were so happy that their mouths were almost grinning to the root of their ears, and they said thank you straight.

Far away from the city gate, Xiao Wu leaned over and whispered, "Mother?" Who is not selling this charcoal? ”

"You know what? This money, too, can be earned and earned! It is also necessary to know that others can earn it, but you can't. ”

"I know what you can earn and what you can't. What does it mean that others can earn it, but we can't earn it? ”

Lin Tao glanced at him and said: "I sold the charcoal to him, and other officers and soldiers found out about it and came to me to buy it, didn't that cut off Xu Anzi's wealth?" Looking back, the relationship that was originally good was lost on these few taels of silver! If it's a big belly, thinking about the old love, don't embarrass us. If it's a small-bellied chicken intestine, then make some yin tricks and stumble, do you think it's worth it? ”

"It's not worth it! How can we, these small people, fight against the officials! Unexpectedly, there are still these particularities in this transaction. ”

Lin Tao smiled: "There are more Taoists in this." If you want to learn, you have to watch more and don't say anything. ”

"Yes! The daughter remembered. ”

When he arrived at the door of Xu Deren's shop, Xu Deren greeted him.

"Hurry up, sit inside, auntie."

After a few words of greeting, he led Xiao Wu into the shop.

There are many fewer things on the shelves in the shop today than when I came back.

"I'm still thinking, if my aunt doesn't come again, my shop will be demolished by those old men!" Xu Deren took two bowls of tea and put them down, then brought a charcoal basin from the back room and put it in front of them.

It was frozen all day, and it was baked for a while before the hand regained sensation.

Seeing Xiao Lizi leading the two men to move the goods, I thought that Xu Deren's recent business should be good.

"Shopkeeper! Auntie dragged wild boars again today! I see, there seems to be a deer in the car! Xiao Lizi was as excited as a child, full of energy.

"Auntie's hunting skills are really amazing! Right now, all the old men are on fire for this carnivorous brain! I immediately arranged for someone to send the wild boar out. ”

Xu Deren said that he was leaving, but Lin Tao hurriedly stopped the person.

"The shopkeeper is busy first, I still have some business, go elsewhere for a while, and then come over to settle the bill."

Xu Deren, who was too busy to work, did not force her to stay.

Lin Tao thought about finding a restaurant first and filling her stomach. I didn't expect to come all the way, and many restaurants were closed.

Finally, I found a shop that was not too big to enter.

The shopkeeper and the guy in the building settled them down enthusiastically.

Lin Tao asked, "Shopkeeper, what do you have to eat at home?" ”

The shopkeeper came with tea.

"The old lady said that, it's been freezing outside for almost a month, which family is not short of food? In my small shop, apart from some pickled vegetables, there is only meat left. ”

Lin Tao raised her eyebrows with a smile and asked, "Could it be rice meat?" ”

"The old lady said this! Although the government doesn't care what kind of meat we sell, we don't sell rice meat that loses our conscience. My meat is my own pigs! There are more than 100 in the backyard! If you're not sure, you can follow me to have a look. ”

"Okay! Let's have the best dish! ”

"Okay! Today, the old lady tasted my sauerkraut hooves, which were very beautiful! ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper carried the kettle to the inner hall.
