Chapter Twenty-Four: A Little Trick
Qin Xiaoniang slowed down her pace and turned her head to look at Song He'er: "It's so dark, my mother will go with you." ”
"No need, I'm nearby, A-Niang, how embarrassed are you to follow me?"
Song He'er grabbed the tip and looked at Qin Xiaoniang playfully.
"It's all women, what are you afraid of?"
"No......"
Zhang Xiu'e said with a smile: "If she wants to go by herself, she will go by herself, when a girl is older, she will always have her own careful thoughts." ”
Hearing Zhang Xiu'e say the same, Qin Xiaoniang responded and allowed Song He'er to go to the forest alone for convenience.
"You are not allowed to run far, otherwise my mother will worry."
"I know, A-Niang, take care of Brother Huan and them, this night is dewy, and the forest is so quiet...... lest you make some noise for people to find out. ”
"Mother knows, go quickly, we are all waiting for you here!"
"Good!"
Song He'er answered and walked towards the forest.
The trees are big and the forest is deep, Song He'er chose a secluded slope and squatted down, took out a hundred slot cakes in the space, dug a pit and buried them.
After dealing with the matter here, Song He'er took advantage of the faint light and walked towards the depths of the forest......
Sure enough, not long after I walked out, I saw a woman in rags, sleeping in a dirt pit with her child.
Song He'er saw her thin skin and bones, and the child's face was sallow, and she knew that this must be a hungry homeless.
Song He'er bent down and pushed the sleeping woman.
The shriveled and boring eyelids slowly lifted, and when he saw someone, he seemed to be afraid, so he picked up the child and hid backwards......
"Don't be afraid, I'm also from out of town, and I want to ask you about the situation here......"
"You...... What do you want? ”
Song He'er took out a piece of cake from her arms and stuffed it into the woman's hand.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you about the road conditions, because our family is going to pass through here, and we don't know how to go!"
When the woman saw the food, she was like a hungry wolf, and she snatched it and began to stuff it into her mouth, not forgetting to give the child a piece.
Song He'er was frightened, one person was already like this, if he met more than 100 people, wouldn't their cart of food be snatched up in an instant?
"Well......," replied the woman, while eating, "I beg you not to go this way, for the people in front of you have been hungry for a long time, and they will rob them when they see them, if you have a coil on you...... Ahem, if you can't get out of this forest, you'll be robbed! ”
Song He'er believed that she was telling the truth, after all, this was what she expected.
"You eat slowly...... I want to meet the people who are suffering! ”
The woman stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and looked at Song He'er in disbelief: "What are you doing when you see them?" I've said it all, they're all hungry and crazy, and they won't treat you well, thank you for the cake, let's go. ”
Song He'er's purpose in risking her life to meet them was nothing more than to stabilize them with those cakes, so that they could avoid their own team and not compete for food, so as not to frighten Brother Huan and them.
"I have food, I have food for you, but you have to promise me that you are not allowed to appear in front of my family, they are not in good health and can't stand the fright."
When she heard that there was something to eat, the woman's eyes widened: "What did you say?" Got something to eat? ”
"Yes, you take me to them now, I have limited time."
The woman put the rest of the bread in her mouth, got up and carried the child to lead the way.
Song He'er followed her for a while, and under a broken melon shed, she saw dozens of people dressed in tatters.
The woman stepped forward and woke up a stockier man in front of her, who was probably a couple of two.
I saw the woman whisper something in the man's ear, and then the man swaggered over.
Song He'er looked him up and down, and found that this person looked strong, but he was actually fat, and his whole body was swollen caused by excessive hunger.
"You're looking for us?"
"Strong man, my family is going to pass through here, please make it convenient for us to spend it safely."
"You're from Shanyang City!"
Of course, Song He'er knew that they hated the people of Shanyang City, and they couldn't wait to eat those local officials alive, but now she dared to say that she was from Shanyang......
"No, we're from the north, and we're going to visit relatives in the south, and you're not from Shanyang City when you hear my accent, right?"
The strong man thought for a while and nodded: "You don't blame us for being rude, we were also forced by the government, we have been hungry for half a month, the elderly, children, and people are starving to death everywhere!" ”
"I know, so bury some loaves in a small hill a mile away, and you will find them when you go and find them."
Although the strong man is reckless, he is also a reasonable person, although he is hungry and uncomfortable, but he does not mean to take advantage of others.
"No need, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, since you are willing to come here to see me today, it means that you are also a cheerful person, it's just that, I will tell you to go down, just don't rob your things!"
Although Song He'er is not a savior, within her ability, she is always willing to help some suffering people get through the difficulties, and these cakes have been in the space for a long time, if you put them down, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat them.
"No, I've already put down the things, you just have to look for them as I say, you will definitely be able to find them, although I can't guarantee that you will eat for a few days, but you can also solve your urgent needs!"
With that, Song He'er turned around and left.
The strong man looked at Song He'er's departing figure, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Why do you think this little girl will help us?"
"You say, it's not that you're afraid that you will rob other people's food!"
"Let's go over and have a look, and see if there's any bread to eat in that lump!"
After that, the strong man woke up many homeless people, and walked in the direction pointed by Song He'er with a hoe......
Song He'er buried the cake very shallowly, and dozens of homeless people soon found out, and when they were hungry, they didn't bother to dig with a hoe, so they directly picked up the soil layer with both hands, swept the ashes on it and began to eat.
"The big guys are listening, but if you see outsiders passing by here and want to go to the south to look for relatives, don't trouble them, let them pass safely."
As soon as the strong man's voice fell, it aroused the anger of the people, and one of them, a peasant woman dressed in tatters, stood up directly from the crowd: "She said that she is from other places, maybe she is those black-hearted businessmen in Shanyang City, not to mention eating our vegetables, and causing us to be like this!" ”
"She's not from Shanyang, besides, they also gave us these 100 pieces of bread, we can't be ungrateful, right?"
The strong man's daughter-in-law holding the child echoed: "That's right, I don't think that girl is a bad person, she has a short mouth and a short hand, so I will let them go, why do you want to rob innocent people of food!" ”
