The night was vast, the moonlight was sprinkled on the snow, and the whole heaven and earth were covered in silver, like day.

Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin sat in front of the charcoal stove, chatting in a low voice about the next trip, they were going to return to Baiyun Village after the relief was over tomorrow, and they should have been out for the longest time they had been out this time.

Now that the world is so chaotic, they don't dare to wander outside for too long, lest they can't find them because of something in the base, and it is not easy to quickly contact someone in ancient times.

They couldn't rest assured, so they planned to return after walking through the hardest-hit areas, and other places further away could only resign themselves to their fate.

If it were another disaster, they would have been able to drive to more and farther places without snow closing, but unfortunately, the snow road was difficult to navigate, and this road condition alone directly cut off half of their rescue plan.

"And what about them?"

Xia Ning glanced at the four grandparents and grandchildren who were talking on the other side, their rescue plan could not be implemented in front of outsiders.

"As far as they are old and young, do you feel free to leave them here?" Song Shaoqin followed her gaze and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Xia Ning bowed her head and said, "Also, if something happens, we can't reach it, let's take it with us, and when we want to do something, let them wait nearby, so that we can deal with anything in time." ”

If the four grandchildren really decide to go with them, then they must be responsible for their safety, now that there is such chaos outside, their grandchildren have no ability to protect themselves, if they are placed elsewhere at will, it will not be good if something happens.

Secondly, after they complete their mission tomorrow, they should not take this route again, but will drive around the border from the outer edge and return directly to Baiyun Village.

If you walk from the outside line, you can avoid the snow road, which is convenient for them to drive, although it will detour a little, but there is no obstacle from the snow road, in fact, the travel time is about the same.

Therefore, it is also convenient for them to leave directly after finishing their errands, if they are arranged to wait here, they will have to return to take them with them after finishing their errands, which will be too troublesome.

The two of them spoke softly, and did not disturb the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ding family to speak, and they also deliberately left enough space for them to speak.

After all, Aunt Ding didn't know yet, and it was not good for the two of them to come forward to say anything, so it would be more appropriate to hand it over to Camellia Ding.

It's also a chance to give them the last chance to make a decision.

On the other side, Camellia Ding was making it clear what happened to her grandmother after she fell into a coma.

"Grandma, that's the way it is."

After speaking, Ding Camellia couldn't help but bow her head guiltily, "I'm sorry, grandma, I made my own decisions without your consent." ”

Although she knew that her grandmother was a reasonable person, the sale of herself as a slave was an extremely important matter, she not only put her sister in, but also turned the only male heir of their Ding family into a slave, which would definitely not be acceptable to her old man.

But at that time, she really had no choice, her grandmother had been unconscious, their family had nothing, if it weren't for the two benefactors, their family wouldn't have survived at all.

Even if grandma blames herself, she doesn't regret it.

She knew very well that being lucky enough to meet the two masters was the only opportunity she could seize, to save the lives of a pair of younger siblings, and she was worthy of her parents' dying explanations.

“.” Aunt Ding's hands trembled slightly, and there was a trace of tears hidden in her eyes, which eased up, and then calmed down her emotions.

Looking at the guilty eldest granddaughter in front of her, she raised her hand and stroked her head.

"Camellia, you did the right thing, how can I blame you?"

What is selling oneself into slavery compared to one's life?

Fortunately, in this world, you don't have to worry about life anymore, and you don't have to fight alone for anything, worrying about being bullied.

It is also useless for her to be a grandmother, not only did she not take care of them, but she became a drag on them.

Fortunately, her eldest granddaughter is a clever person, not a person who doesn't know how to be flexible, if you want to have dignity and arrogance in this world, you must also have the ability to save your life.

Since the unexpected death of her son and daughter-in-law, she has deeply realized the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and it is better to rely on no one than on herself.

Nowadays, it is better to sell yourself as a slave!

It's a way to live, maybe their family has another way out for this?

Besides, their Ding family still has a craft, and they are not useless people, as long as the main family needs it, they will definitely teach it.

Listening to the story of the eldest granddaughter, at least the benefactor who saved them is of good character, and with such a person, there is no need to worry about being tortured.

"Grandma? You don't blame me? Camellia Ding happily raised her head.

Aunt Ding sighed, "No wonder, you did a good job, but thanks to you, those people in our village must be unreliable, instead of wandering around, it is better to find a master to do things, at least not hungry." ”

If it were her own, the path she might choose may not be as good as that chosen by her eldest granddaughter.

"Well, the two masters are very good, don't worry, they just gave us beef to eat." Camellia Ding was very happy and excitedly wanted to express the goodwill of the two masters to her grandmother.

There will never be another person as good as two masters.

"The master is indeed very good." Thinking of the bowl of fragrant and soft fine grain noodles she had just eaten, Aunt Ding's heart became more stable.

Xia Ning, who was on the other side, saw that the ancestors of the Ding family seemed to be talking about it, so she packed a few baked potatoes and walked over with a water bladder filled with hot milk.

"Aunt Ding, do you feel better? There is no way to find you a doctor in this wilderness, so you can bear with it for the time being, and wait until tomorrow when you go to town to find a doctor for you. ”

"No, no, no~ It's good that I don't have anything to do with this foot, Miss Lao has to worry about it." Aunt Ding said excitedly that she didn't want to trouble her master anymore.

Thinking of her master's kindness, she couldn't help but struggle to get up and kowtow and kneel to thank her.

Xia Ning hurriedly stopped, "Don't move!" Your feet haven't gotten down yet, so what is there to sit and say, we don't have so many rules, you relax. ”

"Thank you, Miss, I have already heard Camellia say, thank you and the second master for saving your life, and then I will kowtow to the two masters in person when the old slave's feet are healed."

Although their family has been sold into slavery, one yard is one yard, and this life-saving grace cannot be forgotten.

"You don't have to be so particular, you just call yourself."

Xia Ning really couldn't get used to this ancient red tape, she was uncomfortable listening to it, there should be rules and forms, but she didn't want to be too conformist, and her inner loyalty was far stronger than some external forms.

"Yes, the old slave knows." Aunt Ding responded neatly.

“.” The corners of Xia Ning's mouth paused slightly, yes, she said it in vain.

The older generation's thinking is not good, and there is no way to communicate with this deep generation gap, so let her go.
