Chapter Seventy-Six: On Own
"Why should we give you our things?"
Erbao couldn't help poking his head out and questioning angrily.
Seeing that it was just a child's conversation, the leader laughed a little mockingly, "This road is occupied by a few of our brothers, and if you want to pass from here, you have to pay some tolls, otherwise don't blame our brothers' men for being ruthless!" ”
As the man spoke, the people behind him took out a few arm-thick sticks and shook them in their hands, full of threats.
A person on the other side quickly aimed at Xiang Jiuling and Qin Zhenzhen, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of evil spirit, "If you don't have money, you can let these two women accompany our brothers, when you pass safely, how about it?" ”
Qin Zhenzhen was frightened by the squinting eyes of several people and shrank behind Xiang Jiuling, only Xiang Jiuling looked at them lightly, as if the person who was being teased by the few people just now was not her.
Before a few people could echo him, Wen Xi directly drew his knife and approached the person at the front.
The man was taken aback, seeing that the knife was wrapping around him straight and straight, he quickly dodged back, and the people behind him were also taken aback.
"Stop, stop!"
Wen Xi didn't intend to kill anyone, the places where the blade was wiped were just skin wounds, but it also scared the robbers enough, they didn't expect to run into hard stubble, and quickly begged for mercy.
"Hero, we have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, begging the hero to spare his life!"
Seeing the reversal of offense and defense, Erbao and Sanni happily looked at a few people with strange faces, and shouted happily, "Daddy is amazing!" ”
Xiang Jiuling and the others didn't bother with these people, turned around and left.
Seeing that the refugees around her had not decreased at all, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiang Jiuling still decided to take her own people to walk the mountain road, she had already studied the surrounding routes before, and knew by memory that there would be a village after crossing the two mountains, where they could rest and then go to the capital.
Naturally, others readily agreed.
Fortunately, it is winter, there are fewer predators on the mountain, snakes, insects, rats and ants are almost all hibernating, it is not dangerous to walk the mountain road, and many trees in the mountain have lost their leaves, and the bare trunks also make the vision wider.
Seeing that Dabao walked slowly at the end of the line, Xiang Jiuling thought that he was looking for herbs, after all, his favorite thing every day since he studied medicine was to look for herbs everywhere, and seeing that the time was not early, she shouted again, "Dabao, what are you doing?" We've got to hurry up! ”
"I know, mother, I just made a mark, so as not to get lost in this wood, and I can also make a reference when the time comes."
Xiang Jiuling was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect this kid to think of this, and couldn't help but laugh with relief, "Oh, Dabao is so smart, I didn't expect this!" ”
Xiang Jiuling knows the child's mind very well, although she has some unforgettable skills, and she will not get lost at all after walking the road once, but she still praises the child with a smile, after all, good children are praised.
Sure enough, Dabao was also very useful, and smiled, "I will make a lot of money for my father and mother to spend in the future!" ”
"Dabao is so good!"
Xiang Jiuling was very pleased, these children finally didn't hurt in vain, and they knew that they would earn money and be filial to her in the future, she naturally didn't care how much it was, as long as the children had this heart.
Dabao's words also aroused the competitiveness of Erbao and Sanni, and the two immediately said in unison, "Mother, I will also earn money for you and Daddy in the future!" ”
Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but laugh happily, and even Wen Xi, who was not smiling, showed a smile.
Looking at this warm scene, Qin Zhenzhen was also very happy, but the next moment he reacted, and hurriedly said, "You three, I am so good to you on weekdays, and I don't even know how to give Aunt Qin a little money when I make money!" ”
Sanni laughed hehe, and made a grimace, "Aunt Qin will definitely earn more than us in the future!" ”
Qin Zhenzhen was amused by this little girl, and several other people also laughed along.
After laughing, the family walked forward slowly, and Xiang Jiuling also took the opportunity to talk to them, "Children, making money in the future is a later story, when we settle down, you all have to study hard, only enriching yourself is the wealth of a lifetime, otherwise even if you have money, you will only feel empty, understand?" ”
Xiang Jiuling's words made several children thoughtful, they are not like ordinary children, not to mention rich and expensive, at least they live a stable life, and they are still so young that they have lived a life of displacement, and they should understand the hardships of survival.
And no matter what kind of desperate situation you are in, the only person you can rely on is yourself!
Qin Zhenzhen also agreed with Xiang Jiuling's words very much, after all, the painful memories of so many years also made her deeply experienced.
"Yes, Sister Xiang, what you said is so right, we can only rely on ourselves, and I will also learn my skills hard in the future so that I will know more!"
Xiang Jiuling was very pleased, but she didn't know how much her words today would change Qin Zhenzhen, and it also laid the foundation for her tragic ending!
Seeing that the sky is darkening, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the destination at this time, and the family can only find a place to rest.
"Mother, there are rabbits!"
As he was walking, he heard Sanni cry out in surprise.
Several people immediately looked towards the place pointed by Sanni, and sure enough, they saw a rabbit running over.
"Sister Xiang, don't move, let me catch it!"
Qin Zhenzhen suddenly came to the nature and took the initiative to ask Ying to catch the rabbit, Xiang Jiuling could only nod helplessly, but still asked uneasily, "Then you should be careful not to get hurt!" ”
"Got it!"
Qin Zhenzhen happily took the two children to catch rabbits, and the young Sanni could only follow Xiang Jiuling, but looking at the appearance of several people jumping up and down, Sanni was a little blushing.
"Mother, I want to go too."
Xiang Jiuling took Sanni's hand and said with a smile, "Nizi, you are still young, will you play with your brothers when you grow up in the future?" ”
Before Sanni could speak, she suddenly heard an exclamation in the distance.
Wen Xi was the first to react, and hurriedly dared to go in the direction of the sound.
Xiang Jiuling came slowly with Sanni, and as soon as she came, she heard Erbao crying and saying, "I...... Aunt Qin fell down to protect me, woo woo, dad, what should I do? ”
Xiang Jiuling couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and when he walked in, he found that there was actually a cliff in front of him, and the weeds below were overgrown and he couldn't see the situation below at all, and he didn't know how high it was, and what was the situation of Qin Zhenzhen who fell.
handed Sanni to Dabao and asked him to wait on it with his younger brothers and sisters, and Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi began to look for a way to see if they could go down and have a look.
Soon, Wen Xi found the way, and Xiang Jiuling hurriedly went over, and sure enough, he saw a winding path blocked by grass.
