Chapter 8: The Road Meets a Landslide

Seeing, an officer and soldier were hit by a stone and fell directly into the mud.

"It's raining too much, the mountain is collapsing a little, go to the tenant's house in front of you to take shelter!" The officers and soldiers who took the lead ran directly into the distance, not caring about the lives of these prisoners.

Song He'er returned Brother Huan in her arms to Qin Xiaoniang, looked around, and found that there was a small cowshed not far away, which was not only a little dirty, but also able to hide from the rain.

"Third aunt, you take my aunt to hide in the shed first, I will borrow a piece of skin for us to keep out the cold, Sister Nian, you must hold the clay pot well, this rain can't stop tonight, we have to cook and eat at night......"

Zhang Xiu'e grabbed Song He'er, who was about to leave: "The rain is too heavy, those tenants live far away, I'll go ......"

"Third aunt, you take this dry firewood, and I'll exchange it for something for the rest!"

After that, Song He'er pretended to walk towards the tenant's house, and when she passed by a few big trees, she took out some millet and a few catties of bean sprouts from the space.

Then, he hurriedly took out a piece of leather that was not very good, hugged it and walked back.

When Song He'er walked to the cowshed, Zhang Xiu'e's body was already soaked, and Sister Nian was lying in her arms shivering.

"Little lady, third aunt, I saw that there was a leather thrown outside that no one wanted, so I picked it up, and I put it on the shed for us, as a tablecloth to cover the wind, and the big guys will be warmer."

Qin Xiaoniang looked at Song He'er who was soaked with distress: "Come here, let my mother wipe it!" ”

"Auntie, this is a little millet and bean sprouts, I exchanged it for dry firewood, and we will cook it and eat it later."

Zhang Xiu'e smiled: "I didn't expect He'er to have such a great ability at such a young age!" ”

Song He'er smiled, what kind of ability can he have? Don't you have space in your hand, don't worry about eating and drinking?

Xu is rain was too strong, Brother Huan was so frightened that he cried, and Qin Xiaoniang walked back and forth with him.

"He'er, look, there seem to be people under the big trees in front of you." Qin Xiaoniang said suddenly.

Song He'er followed her line of sight and saw that under a few big trees not far away, there were really a few young women hiding from her.

After careful identification, Song He'er realized that these were her two aunts, and because of their identities, they were not very close to the people in the house in the past.

"Auntie, it's the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt."

Qin Xiaoniang was slightly stunned: "These two weirdos, why are they hiding under the tree, and there will be a lightning bolt for a while, isn't it dangerous?" ”

Sister Nian looked at them, and suddenly spoke: "Sister He'er, the fourth aunt gave me a potato to eat in the morning, let's call them over too, right?" ”

Song He'er thought about it carefully, there were two more people and two more helpers, and they had always been unfriendly with the eldest lady, so on the way to exile, it was better to unite ......

Thinking of this, Song He'er patted Sister Nian'er's head: "Sister Nian'er, you wave at them and tell them to come over to hide from the rain!" ”

"Good!" Sister Nian happily ran to the edge of the cowshed and greeted them.

After a while, the two men came wet.

"Little Niang, third sister-in-law..."The person who spoke was called Chundi, nineteen years old, and was Song He'er's fourth aunt.

The timid one next to him is called Chun Rao, two years younger than Chun Di.

Qin Xiaoniang looked at their weak appearance, and couldn't help sighing: "You haven't eaten for a few days?" ”

Chundi shook her head: "I dug potatoes on the mountain in the morning, but they were all snatched by the moon next to the eldest lady......"

Zhang Xiu'e was so angry that she crossed her waist: "This old immortal thief woman, in addition to grabbing this and grabbing that, she just saw that He'er was not easy to bully now, so she turned her head to bully others, bastard!" ”

Chun Rao took off the basket on her back, and took out the rusty iron pot and aged vinegar from it, as well as a few pottery bowls and a small pot of kerosene, "This is what I took advantage of the chaos to take down from the supply cart of the officers and soldiers, I hope you will be useful." ”

Vinegar!!!

Song Heer is worried about how to find vinegar to fry bean sprouts!

"The fifth aunt is so careful, they all want to run for their lives, just you think about these things."

Chun Rao smiled and took off the wet clothes on her body: "If these things are thrown in the car, they are also soaked in water, so it is better to use them for yourself." ”

Song He'er arranged the dry firewood and supported it with a few sticks to increase the air circulation in the middle, which could make the fire burn more vigorously.

Zhang Xiu'e lit the fire and put the pot on the rack again, "How many miles have you walked, it's so difficult, if you go to the desert, won't you all starve to death?" ”

Qin Xiaoniang sighed: "As much as you can go, as long as the big guys work together, it's not difficult to find something to eat." ”

Zhang Xiu'e saw the stream next to her bubbling up, and immediately shouted happily: "He'er, there are fish there!" I'm going to fork a fish for us! ”

"What spearfish are you taking?"

Zhang Xiu'e waved the fire tongs in her hand: "That's it!" ”

With that, he ran out of the cowshed with a smile......

Chundi and Chunrao were in charge of cooking porridge, and after they were done, they took out a few more dried cakes from their arms, put them in their mouths and chewed them.

Qin Xiaoniang was a little unbearable, "This is all dirty." ”

Chundi shirked and said: "It's okay, you can eat it, after all, it's just such a porridge, let's eat it tightly for the children." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xiu'e came over with two big fat fish.

"And voila! How fat! Is there any salt? Pickled, grilled and eaten, all big guys have a share! ”

Song He'er prepared a clay pot, took a pair of rusty scissors, disemboweled the fish, then washed it with water and salted it.

The fire was very strong, and it didn't take long for the fragrant grilled fish to be cooked.

Bean sprouts cannot satisfy hunger, but can only be eaten as a side dish to increase the taste, and if you want to be full, you still have to rely on white porridge and grilled fish.

Sister Nian couldn't eat much, so she fell asleep after drinking some porridge, and the rest of the things were enough for adults to eat.

After everyone settled the battle, they were also tired and sleepy, and fell asleep......

In the early morning of the second day, after the rain, the sky cleared, there were no flying stones on the landslide, and the water in the river calmed down.

The officers and soldiers played their official duties at the tenants' house all night, and the next day they remembered to look for the prisoners who were scattered around.

Song He'er hurriedly buried the leftover fish bones in the mud, and hid the materials brought by Chundi.

"How many of you have here, report the number!" Officer A came over and asked.

“……... Seven ......."

"What about the others?"

Zhang Xiu'e shook her head: "I didn't see ......"

"His grandmother's, half of the people who lost half of the way, how can this be a deal!" Officer A complained.

"Those people on the mountain haven't come down yet, can we hurry up today?" Officer B asked in a tentative tone.

"Find someone first, what are you going to do?"

Officers and soldiers walked to Zhang Xiu'e's side angrily, and reprimanded them coldly: "Covering up the escape of the official is a serious crime, and it will punish the nine clans!" ”

Zhang Xiu'e was speechless for a while, "They are in leg cuffs, and it rained heavily last night, where can they escape?" ”

"Humph! Search for me! If you find out that they have escaped, they will be killed in public! ”
