Chapter 147: What a Big Mouse
On the night of early spring, the open grass was blown by wisps of cold wind, and it blew on the children without any cover.
Su Su's thick padded jacket couldn't stop the cold wind, and she couldn't help but shiver when it was cold.
She frowned and looked into the distance, it was pitch black, she couldn't see anything, and she didn't know how long they had been gone.
Also, Did the man wake up and catch up?
All the unknown answers stirred Su Su's mind uneasy.
Although she could, as Brother Ma said, leave him alone to rest here, and then continue walking with the others.
But after so many days of getting along, in her heart, Brother Ma has long been a family-like existence.
How could she bear to leave her family behind and leave by herself?
Just when she didn't know what to do, Su Su saw that the eldest brother and sister Yajun had tiredness on their faces, one of them was carrying someone on their backs and the other was holding someone, they must be more tired than her and Brother Ma.
And Brother Ma sat on the ground and pounded his leg and stomach with his small fist, grinning in pain.
Su Su pursed his lips, looked around, and suddenly found a little silver light flickering not far away.
"You wait for me here, I'll go over there and I'll come back."
"Susu, no—", the big boy tried to stop him, but Susu shook his head at him.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Su Su ran towards the little silver light, and gradually her figure disappeared into the night.
The big boy looked at the direction in which Su Su disappeared and kept frowning, his eyes were full of worry, and he had been worried.
The small theater kept going on in his head, and after a while, Su Su fell, and then she was abducted again, and it was so tormented for a long time, until Su Su ran back, his heart settled down.
"What's over there?" , the older boy asked.
Su Su gasped a few times, his face filled with joy, "There's a simple wooden house over there, and there's a jar of water next to it. I went to see that the house was inhabitable and the water could be drunk."
Su Su thought that the house must have been built by the peasant family themselves, so that they could temporarily stay vigil during the harvest season to avoid being stolen from the harvest.
Su Su's words almost gave everyone a "booster".
Chen Yajun cried happily.
The sluggish Ma Yuncong also stood up strongly, his eyes shining brightly, looking at her expectantly, "Really? You didn't lie to me."
"When have I ever lied to someone", Su Su said with a smile, "Let's go quickly, have a good rest tonight, and leave tomorrow when it is dawn."
Hearing her say this, Ma Yuncong couldn't stop nodding, his legs didn't hurt anymore, he couldn't walk anymore, and even ran out a few hundred meters in one go.
Su Su was speechless and held his forehead, "...... Brother Ma, you're going in the wrong direction."
There was an oh sound in the distance, and then I saw him running back, looking at Su Su with a blank eye.
"It's over there—".
Ma Yuncong nodded his head twice and ran away happily.
But this time he came back after running away, hugged Xiao Bu from Chen Yajun's hand, and smiled innocently, "You rest for a while, I'll go over first with him."
Chen Yajun, "......".
After saying that, he beckoned the big boy and Su Su again, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you in the house!"
Susu, the big boy, "......".
Hehe, I really can't see at all that this is the brother Ma who was lying on the ground and said nothing about leaving.
The three of Su Su stepped up their pace, and when they were about to reach the wooden house, they heard a scream coming from inside.
It was Ma Yuncong's voice.
Su Su and the eldest boy glanced at each other, and their hearts suddenly went up.
The two of them instantly ran to the wooden house together.
While running Su Su, she still thought, she didn't find anything unusual when she checked just now, could it be that the master is back?
Just when she was puzzled, Ma Yuncong ran out of it with his head in his hands and jumped on his feet.
He looked at Su Su and the others, pointed to the inside of the house and shouted in horror, "Old old man
Old ...... Mouse, what a big one!".
Su Su and the three of them stopped instantly, she and the eldest boy were speechless, while Chen Yajun was a little confused, as if she hadn't reacted.
But then, Chen Yajun hid behind Su Su with a bang, and shouted without even seeing the shadow of the mouse, "Mouse...... It's a big one!"
Susu's eldest boy, "......".
Tired!
In the end, the "big rat" was killed by the big boy with his bare hands.
Ma Yuncong and Chen Yajun, who were huddled on the small wooden bed, looked at him with admiration on their faces, and applauded.
Su Su sighed, thinking that this "escape" would be very difficult, but now it seems that she is too worried.
"Okay, let's hurry up and rest, otherwise it will be dawn in a while", Su Su paused, "Let's talk about it first, let's leave quickly at dawn, we can't lie in bed."
Su Su looked at Ma Yuncong and nodded his finger, "Especially your brother Ma!"
She doesn't worry about others, the only thing she worries about is Ma Yuncong.
Ma Yuncong patted his chest and promised to be good.
*
There was a single thin quilt on the small bed in the wooden house, Ma Yuncong, Chen Yajun was a little smaller, and the little boy could accommodate the next person after the four of them were shrunk together.
Chen Yajun looked at Su Su and the big boy in embarrassment, although she really wanted both of them to come up and cover the quilt.
Seeing this, the big boy pushed Su Su, "You go, hurry up and rest, I still need you to show you the way during the day tomorrow."
"What about you?" , Susu asked.
"I'm not sleepy and don't want to sleep, and I haven't seen the outside for a long time, so I'll go sit outside and guard the door for you."
With that, he walked out and closed the door to block the cold wind outside.
Chen Yajun saw that Su Su was still in a daze, so he patted the position beside him, "Come up quickly, what the big brother said is right, you have to have a good rest."
Su Su answered, and climbed into bed with his hands and feet.
Chen Yajun intimately gave up the position inside to Su Su, and she stuck to Su Su's back.
The little sisters huddled together and covered with quilts were particularly warm.
Su Su's sleepiness immediately came up, and her eyelids slowly closed after a fight.
The big boy sat in the doorway wrapped in his clothes, and when he looked up, he could see the stars in the sky.
It's bright and beautiful.
The corners of the big boy's mouth lifted slightly.
In the past few years, he has been locked in the carriage by men, and he has forgotten whether he has seen such a beautiful night sky before.
Perhaps, but he has no memory.
The older boy sighed and reluctantly peeled his gaze away from the starry sky.
For so many years, he had wanted to escape from the palm of a man's hand, but now that he had done it, he felt empty in his heart.
Su Su and they all have a home to go back to, but he doesn't even know what his name is or where his home is, so where should he go back.
The older boy sighed again.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you? It looks like he's a little unhappy," Su Su asked softly as she suddenly sat down beside him.
The older boy was stunned for a moment when he heard her voice, then looked at the closed wooden door behind him, "Didn't you sleep?"
Su Su bent her legs, her little hands hugged her knees, and the big cotton jacket covered her into a bucket again.
"Well, I fell asleep, but I woke up with a nightmare."
