399, the ancestor of the Ding family
After some persuasion, the siblings finally sat honestly in place, and under them sat their old quilt.
"What's your name?" Xia Ning was the first to ask for their names, can't you keep calling 'hey, hey', right?
Ding Camellia said, "Sister Benefactor, my family name is Ding, that is my grandmother, my name is Ding Camellia, this is my second sister Ding Luya, younger brother Ding Yeqing, two months ago my parents went out to deliver tea, but they encountered a group of bandits on the way, and they brutally killed them, and now there are only four of our ancestors and grandchildren left in the family." ”
“.” Hearing this, Xia Ning couldn't help but be silent, she didn't expect them to have such a thing, it was obvious that the Ding family and his wife were the pillars of the family, and now that their husband and wife were gone, they left the family to live a difficult life.
Even if the eldest child is eleven or twelve years old, he is still a half-old child, how can she hold up the door as a girl?
This family is simply vulnerable.
Song Shaoqin changed the topic at the right time, "Your family is a tea farmer?" ”
"Yes, our village is called Camellia Village, and almost half of the land is planted with Camellia, and every household is mainly planting tea." Camellia Ding replied honestly.
It's a pity that the situation in the past two years has not been good, and most of the camellia in their village has been sold cheaply, so all year round, the people in the village have not made any money.
This time, her parents also managed to contact a foreign businessman, and wanted to dispose of the family's inventory of camellia, and exchange a sum of money for the winter, but they met robbers and bandits on the way back, not only robbed the silver, but also killed her parents.
In order to bury their parents who died tragically, they had to sell the tea field in China, but they didn't expect that they would come out of the grief of their parents' departure, and they encountered a snow disaster that was rare in a century.
"I see, no wonder your names are all related to tea, it's very nice."
Xia Ning smiled and praised, in this low-culture dynasty, it is very rare for them to have such a name as a girl's family, although it is named after tea, but it is much better than many cheap names that are shouted casually.
Vulgarity is elegance!
Song Shaoqin also asked, "Why didn't you leave with the people in the village?" It seems that you are the only one in your village. ”
With the fighting power of this family, it is too dangerous to stay alone in this deserted village.
Hearing this, Ding Camellia's eyes were lowered, and her expression was a little lonely, "As early as when bandits and robbers appeared in the town, some people in the village went to relatives and friends with their families, and then there was a blizzard, and the people in the village were worried that it would get bigger and bigger, so they didn't dare to continue to stay in the village, and they left more than half of them one after another."
Until the night seven days ago, the rain and snow were menacing, directly crushed the houses in the village, and so was our family, but fortunately, my grandmother reacted quickly at that time, and just woke us up and got out of bed, the house began to collapse, and then we fainted.
When I was smashed, I vaguely seemed to hear the calls of the villagers, but at that time I was in a daze, and there was no way to respond, and when we woke up, it was already the next day, and the village was long gone.
It is estimated that everyone was also afraid of being trapped in the village, so they left overnight, but fortunately, our sisters and brothers were thin and small, and the fallen house trees were not completely compacted, so we were able to get into the corner of the wall and hide.
Originally, we also wanted to escape, but my grandmother was smashed and injured her foot, and I couldn't move at all, so I could only clean up the surroundings a little bit, and it was fine a few days ago, but since last night, my grandmother has fallen into a coma, and I had to call for help. ”
When her parents were alive, they often helped the villagers without asking for anything in return, but on the night of the avalanche, the villagers just stood outside and screamed a few times before leaving, without even rescuing them.
The whole village, just abandon their ancestors and grandchildren.
Although she can understand everyone's feelings of fleeing, she also knows that their ancestors and grandchildren are too weak to help, and even for the villagers, they may be a drag.
But from the inside, she felt very cold.
As long as the villagers can rescue their grandchildren, even if they are unwilling to flee with them, she will not complain about anything, on the contrary, she will be very interested in not causing trouble to the people in the village, and will not make everyone embarrassed.
The world is so big, there is always a way for their grandchildren to walk, but these villagers didn't even rescue, so they directly gave up their grandchildren.
Especially when her parents had helped them so much, how could she not be cold?
In the past few days, when they are thirsty, they drink water from the rain and snow, and when they are hungry, they chew beans and eat them, and even a small bag of tea leaves in the house is chewed and eaten as food.
And this small bag of soybeans and tea leaves was pulled out by them in the house, and it was the only food in the house.
But they ran out of food the night before, and now they have been hungry for two days, to be precise, they haven't eaten enough a few days ago, so the younger brothers and sisters are directly hungry and weak, and grandma can't bear it and faints.
If she hadn't held on to her breath and relied on tenacity to keep calling for help, I am afraid that their family would really die under this ruin.
Fortunately, their parents were blessed by the spirit of heaven, so that they met two kind people.
“.” After Xia Ning listened to the story of the Ding family, she felt pity and sigh in her heart.
Encounters like the Ding family have been staged by many families in this snow disaster, and the Ding family is unfortunate and lucky, but fortunately, in the end, their ancestors and grandchildren all saved their lives.
The most serious thing is the right foot of the Ding family's grandmother, and this injury is nothing compared to life.
"Okay, it's all over, and your days will get better and better in the future."
Xia Ning stretched out her hand and hugged Ding Camellia, this time it was difficult for her to support a girl and a half, she was not very old, but the changes in her family forced her to grow up.
Younger than when she experienced family changes, fortunately she still has her grandmother and younger siblings, not alone, with these family members, she can feel some comfort in her heart.
"Hmm." Camellia Ding sniffled and suppressed the tears in her eyes.
She is the eldest daughter in the family, she must be strong, she still has a pair of younger siblings to take care of, and she has to do her filial piety for her parents and grandmother, and she can't cry her nose like before.
Xia Ning sighed secretly, "Do you have any other relatives?" ”
Hearing this, Ding Camellia nodded, followed by another shake of her head, "There was originally a cousin in the village, but. We don't have any relatives in our family now. ”
