Chapter 27: Hu Xiu

The woman's surname was Tan, and her family had fled, but when there was not enough food, her in-laws and father-in-law left her and her daughter behind.

Tan desperately took her man's hand and told him not to be so ruthless and not to abandon them.

But the man in her family said that with two less mouths to eat, they could go further and keep their son.

Yes, Tan gave birth to a son and a daughter, and her son was taken away by her man, but he didn't take their mother and daughter with him, just because they were all women.

"Ahem........."

Not long after Tan fed the water to Xiu'er to drink, the little girl coughed, and soon opened her eyes, and the first thing she said when she woke up was: "Mother, I'm so hungry!" ”

Tan Shi saw that his daughter was awake and still spoke, and he hugged the person tightly in ecstasy, but it was Le Xiu'er who rolled her eyes and almost didn't lose her breath.

"Auntie, let go, my sister is about to be strangled by you!"

Ye Xun hurriedly shouted, but Ye Lan directly pulled 7 people away, and Tan saw that his daughter was almost gone because of himself, so he was distressed and guilty.

"Xiu'er, my mother didn't mean it, my mother was just too happy, Xiu'er, I'm sorry......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Mother, don't blame you cough cough cough cough ......"

Of course, Hu Xiu will not blame Tan, the best thing for her in this world is Tan, the whole family doesn't want her, only her mother will never abandon her.

In fact, at the beginning, her grandparents and her father just wanted to throw her away, because they disliked her, saying that she was a money-loser, and she was raised by someone else's family.

Because the younger brother is still young and needs to be taken care of by his mother, they have no intention of throwing away his mother, but his mother is reluctant to let her go, and in order to protect her, he was thrown down with her, and she knows it.

"Xiu'er, my hard-working child......"

Tan didn't dare to hug people anymore, just grabbed Hu Xiu and cried vigorously, crying that his daughter had escaped death, and also crying that he was confused about the future.

"Tears are the most useless thing in the world, no matter how loud you cry, no matter how bad you cry, you can't change the status quo, it's better to wipe away your tears and save effort, after all, you still have to go next, and your daughter still has to rely on you to take care of it."

Ye Lan put her hand into the baggage, took out a bun and handed it to Hu Xiu by covering it: "Eat, you have the strength to hurry after eating." ”

When Tan's mother and daughter saw the buns, their eyes were about to fall out, they didn't expect that Ye Lan actually had something to eat, and it was a bun made of fine noodles and wrapped in meat.

Before the mother and daughter ate it, they had already swallowed saliva when they smelled the fragrance, and looked at the white buns, feeling as if they were dreaming.

Ye Lan had to remind loudly: "You'd better eat it quickly, otherwise I'm not sure if you can keep it for a while." ”

At this time, if you get a little food, you don't eat it quickly and still look there, I don't know if there are refugees all around.

She had already noticed that there were seven or eight refugees approaching them, and in addition to staring at the bun in Hu Xiu's hand, their attention was on her and Ye Xun's baggage.

This is going to rob them of their burden, Ye Lan is helpless, the burden is only two sets of torn clothes, but you can't let others target you because of this.

"Hurry up, I don't have any extra food to share with you!"

After the words fell, Ye Lan untied his burden and opened it in front of everyone, seeing that there was really nothing else in it except for two sets of clothes, and the person who was slowly approaching them stopped.

Under Ye Lan's reminder, Tan and Hu Xiu divided the bun into two, ate it in their mouths, and then swallowed it in their stomachs.

When the refugees saw that the buns were gone, they put out the idea of snatching and continued to support each other and walk forward.

Several people were apprehensive, and Tan's mother and daughter looked at Ye Lan even more guiltily, they were kind enough to save them, but because of them, they almost caused a disaster.

"Okay, that's all I can help you, it's up to you how you go next, Ah Xun, let's go."

She didn't want to help anyone, and along the way, there were few people who were not pitiful, and she was able to save a few people.

If Ye Xun hadn't spoken, she wouldn't have thought of making a move on this mother and daughter, and there wasn't much left of the dry food she bought.

There is food, all of which she has grown along the way, but those are all raw foods, and they have to be cooked before they can be eaten.

Under these conditions, cooking and eating is simply looking for death, and those refugees can rush over and tear them alive just by smelling the fragrance.

She now has to find a way to get some firewood into the space, see if she can cook it in it, and then find a way to take it out and eat it.

"Sister, can my mother and I come with you?"

Ye Lan took Ye Xun's hand and took two steps before she heard Hu Xiu's voice sounding behind her, with a prayer in her voice.

"Yes, little girl, let's go on the road together, and we will have a good answer on the road."

What Tan thought was that they were all poor people on the way to escape the famine, and for the sake of Ye Lan's share of the remaining food just now, she was willing to take care of them on the next road until she reached Mingzhou Mansion.

It's just that after they go to Mingzhou Mansion, where should they go?

Ye Lan wanted to say that there was no need, but Ye Xun was the first to open his mouth, he said: "Okay, sister Xiu'er, my name is Ye Xun, this is my sister Ye Lan, you can call me Brother Ah Xun in the future." ”

After speaking, a pair of eyes stared at Hu Xiu brightly, until the little girl looked crimson and didn't know it.

Ye Lan raised her hand to support her forehead, thinking that Ye Xun, you are a second goods, just to be a brother, I gave her two burdens alive.

It's just that Ye Lan looked at Hu Xiu, then at Ye Xun, and said coldly: "How do you know that she is going to call your brother, in case she is older than you." ”

Hu Xiu is thin and weak, and he looks like he is six or seven years old, but that just looks like this, in such an era, everyone is hungry and yellow-skinned, and the children are even more seriously malnourished.

She seriously suspected that Hu Xiu was even older than Ye Xun.

"No, no, our family Ah Xiu is only nine years old, Ah Xun Tie must be the elder brother, come to Xiu'er, call the elder brother quickly!"

Hu Xiu called out vividly: "Brother Axun! ”

But the mother and daughter didn't see a happy look on Ah Xun's face, but the originally excited little face had collapsed at this moment.

"Poof!"

Ye Lan was happy, and sure enough, as she thought, Hu Xiu was older than Ye Xun, and he was just one year older.

"Sister!"

Ye Xun didn't mention how depressed he was, he obviously looked younger than him, and he thought he could finally be his brother, but he didn't expect to be a bigger brother than him.

"What's going on?"

Tan didn't know why, Hu Xiu also looked at Ye Xun with an innocent face.

"It's okay, it's just that someone wants to be an older brother, and now his dream is shattered, and it's a little uncomfortable."

Hearing Ye Lan say this, Tan Shi understood, and immediately said: "That's okay, Xiu'er will call you brother in the future, she is indeed younger than you." ”
