The child gritted his teeth and said, "It's not like we haven't gone back later, but a few of them were killed by the barbarians invited by those rich people, and no one dared to go back after that......"

Shen Yingniang's brows furrowed when she heard this, is this place so chaotic?

The merchants of Great Xia actually colluded with the barbarian soldiers? This is ridiculous!

Shen Yingniang keenly felt the cold air swishing next to her, and when she looked over, she found that her father-in-law had a cold face, and there was a thick murderous aura in his eyes, looking at it, as if he was going to kill.

Shen Yingniang suddenly remembered the identity of her father-in-law, but he was a frontier general, and he must have been angry.

But you should also be angry, those eight lambs in the frontier are really hateful, helping outsiders to bully their own families, maybe they are deliberately luring wolves into the house, and uniting outsiders to rob their own families, damnable!

Shen Yingniang stretched out her hand and pressed it on Yue Lingjun's shoulder to show comfort, in fact, there was not much she could do, Yue Lingjun was a great general, and now he could only watch being bullied by the people of Daxia that he protected, and he must be very sad in his heart.

But now Yue Lingjun can't do anything, he is no longer a general, if he wants to go to the battlefield, he can naturally, but he has to be famous.

However, Shen Yingniang had an intuition that if Yue Lingjun still wanted to go to battle, he would have to leave sooner or later, but this kind of thing couldn't be based on her guess, it still depended on Yue Lingjun's own choice.

Shen Yingniang pulled the child up, didn't let him kneel, and told him seriously.

"Children, you have to remember, whether it is a man or a woman, the knees can not be soft, since ancient times, there is a saying that a man has gold under his knees, but I have to tell you, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you think that you are still a person, if you want to keep your dignity, you can't kneel easily."

"What the barbarians want to see most is that the Great Xia people become soft bones, it doesn't matter if you can't beat them, but you must not bend your own spine and break your knees, understand?"

Shen Yingniang was very serious when she said this, and she didn't mean to joke at all, and the child was obviously shocked by Shen Yingniang.

This kind of words similar to preaching, usually only his father and mother will tell him, and now a strange woman suddenly ran out to say this to him, and the other party does not look very old, but his aura is amazing, the child is still shocked in the end, and nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Shen Yingniang felt pity, reached out and touched the young man's head and said, "It's good to know, what about your father?" Your younger siblings should be young now, after all, you are not too old, do you want to take care of them alone? ”

At the mention of his father, the child's eyes flashed with grief and indignation, but it was more self-blame, his voice was choked, and he still let go of his guard in front of Shen Yingniang.

"My mom and dad...... Daddy and mother, they died on the road, they were starved to death, just to let my brothers and sisters and I eat more, they starved to death, we dug grass roots on the road, gnawed tree bark, and ate everything we could eat. ”

"Sometimes, out of desperation, we went to the farmer's field to steal vegetables...... We knew it wasn't right, but we were all starving to death, and we couldn't do anything, and later, no one stole it from us, and we didn't even have to gnaw the bark, because there were so many people on the road, and in the end we had to eat a kind of white soil, called Guanyin soil......"

The child said while making a comparison, but Shen Yingniang knew what Guanyin soil was, that thing was eaten, just to numb her nerves, as if she was full, but in fact, that thing was not digested, and if you ate too much, the whole person would be strangled to death, because you can't pull it out, you can't spit it out.

It's miserable!

Shen Yingniang's face was very ugly, she really didn't expect that these people who escaped from the frontier would have such a miserable life, damn barbarians, and those damn Great Xia profiteers, if it weren't for their collusion inside and out, these ordinary people would not have been displaced and starved to death.

Shen Yingniang understands that there are not a few people in the same situation as this child, damn it, those people are really evil!

Shen Yingniang felt angry in her heart, but now is not the time to be angry, she has to ask about the child's situation.

Shen Yingniang touched the child's head, although it was dirty, Shen Yingniang did not dislike it, and asked seriously.

"What's your name? How old are your siblings now? Where do you live? Do you need my help? ”

Hearing this, the child's eyes rose on guard again, but he didn't flinch, just stared at Shen Yingniang with a pair of eyes, and he still didn't tell the truth, just lowered his head and said.

"We live in a safe place now, thank you for your concern, I remember the money for the bun that the benefactor paid me today, and I will definitely return it to you in the future, Mrs. Shen's name is Shopkeeper Shen, right? Where should I find you in the future? When I save up the money, I'll definitely pay it back to you! ”

Although the child has a big temper, but this self-esteem is also quite strong, which is also very good, at least self-esteem, it is better than no self-esteem.

Shen Yingniang was helpless: "If you don't want to say, I won't ask, as for the money you just bought the buns, you don't have to pay it back to me, if you can really make money, then keep it for yourself, buy more delicious food for your younger brothers and sisters, and raise them well, I also know that it is difficult for you to raise children as a teenager." ”

"We actually have a Salesian Home in Huaxian County, if you really can't get by, you can take your younger brothers and sisters to the Salesian Home, where some homeless elderly people and children will be taken in, and there will be some rich families who donate silver, at least they will give you a bite to eat, so that you can have a tile to cover your body."

While speaking, Shen Yingniang directly untied the purse on her body, the purse was swollen, and it was full of Shen Yingniang's belongings, in addition to silver, there were copper plates, after all, Shen Yingniang occasionally wanted to buy some snacks on the street to satisfy her hunger.

As she spoke, she stuffed the purse into the child's hand and said, "Take it, I don't know how long these things will last you, but buying some rice and noodles is still enough for you to eat for a while, listen to me, I really can't stay, so take my younger siblings to the Salesian Institute, they will definitely take you in." ”

"There is some silver in this purse, but you don't take it out easily, spend the copper plate first, it's really not good, just take this silver to a reliable place and break it, replace it with a copper plate, one by one, it won't attract attention."

Shen Yingniang was already intimate enough, and even thought of the situation that this child might be robbed in the future.

The child looked at Shen Yingniang's purse squarely, and the next moment he quickly stuffed it back, refusing.

"Nope! I don't want it! You've already given me money for buns, I can't ask for your silver anymore, I'll make money by myself! ”

After speaking, the child was about to leave, but was grabbed by Yue Lingjun and couldn't move.

The child was obviously a little anxious: "You let go of me, let go of me, if you don't let go of me, I'm welcome!" ”

After speaking, he still bared his teeth, as if he wanted to threaten Yue Lingjun.

When Yue Lingjun saw him like this, it was even more impossible to let go, and he lectured him expressionlessly: "Listen to what my lady said, if she doesn't let you go, you can't go." ”

Yue Lingjun's words were a bit domineering, but he was full of spoiling.

Shen Yingniang was obviously unhappy when she saw the child, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and stand in place unconvinced, letting Yue Lingjun grab him by the collar.

Shen Yingniang didn't expect Yue Lingjun to become so serious all of a sudden, which was a little strange, but the other party should have a reason to do this, and Shen Yingniang didn't want to speculate too much about Yue Lingjun, so she said to the child.

"Child, what I just said is true, if you really can't survive, or if you have any difficulties, go to the Salesian House, you may not be able to eat well, but you will definitely be able to eat enough."

Now, the child has no intention of resisting, in fact, he has not thought about resisting, he really can't break free from Yue Lingjun's big hand at all.

I don't know how this man grows, why he is so tall, and his strength is so great, if only he could grow so tall.

In that case, there is no need to beg, he can also support his younger brothers and sisters by working hard, maybe he can also support his father, thinking of his father, the child can't help but want to cry, and his eyes are red.

If the child wants to cry, it looks even more pitiful, Shen Yingniang hurriedly took action, rescued the child from Yue Lingjun's hands, shook her head at Yue Lingjun, and then squatted down and patted the child's shoulder and said.

"Okay, don't cry, let's just let you go, if you really don't want to go to the Salesian Hospital, then go to Piaoxianglou hot pot restaurant to eat, and then say that I invited you, my name is Shen Yingniang, you just say this to the guys in Piaoxianglou, they will definitely not stop you."

The child rubbed his eyes, but this time he didn't say anything, bowed to Shen Yingniang again to express his gratitude, and then ran around Yue Lingjun, of course, he also accepted Shen Yingniang's kindness and collected the money from the purse.

Shen Yingniang glanced at the child's back, couldn't help but sigh, and then said to Yue Lingjun.

"The situation on the frontier is really not very good, Xianggong, do you think we need to store some food first? Otherwise, if you really can't buy it, you will have to be wronged and eat high-priced grain. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Yingniang found that Yue Lingjun's expression was ugly and cloudy, but Shen Yingniang was not afraid, she just asked suspiciously: "Xianggong, what are you looking at?" What's wrong? ”

Yue Lingjun finally came back to his senses, looked at Shen Yingniang, and said helplessly: "It's nothing, I just think that we have those moths in Great Xia, it's too hateful." ”

Shen Yingniang understood what Yue Lingjun meant, the so-called moths were naturally not those merchants of Great Xia.

A few businessmen don't have so much power and courage, if they are not really protected, they will not dare to collude with the barbarian soldiers, maybe there are those dog officials on the frontier to protect them, or it is what those dog officials mean.

Shen Yingniang comforted Yue Lingjun and said, "Xianggong, don't be too anxious, although the situation on the border is a little unstable, isn't it that there has not been a fight yet?" Maybe it's the temptation of the barbarians, and I don't believe that all the officials are bad people. ”

"There are always some people who are dedicated to the people, aren't you? Now that you're not in your position, you won't be looking for a job, don't think too much, it's good that we can keep ourselves now. ”

Shen Yingniang felt that if there was a real fight on the frontier, it would definitely be the people who would suffer, but they would definitely not have a good time, should they hoard food? Shen Yingniang hesitated.

After all, if she takes the lead in hoarding, other people may also hoard at that time, and when there is no food on the market, what will the people eat if there is a real fight?

Shen Yingniang was even thinking about whether to discuss this matter with the county magistrate of Hua County, Yue Lingjun was indeed no longer a general.
