Chapter 3 Sensible children
"Dad, you make a decision quickly, Li Zheng said there, we have to set off today, in case of delay, we can't keep up with the people in the village, we are very dangerous!" An Zicheng was poked by his daughter-in-law Liu Mei, and watched the old man An open his mouth to remind.
"Yes, Dad, I heard that the village is already gathering, and it may be time to go!" An Zihang, the second eldest of the An family, also spoke, he is a person who is accustomed to calculation, where there is a cheap one, he has no face and no skin.
The third An Zikang is a simple one, and the three rooms are all run by Ge Mingyu, although the family has not been separated, it is always Ge Mingyu who comes forward to speak, and An Zikang only knows how to work hard.
After the brothers reminded Old Man An, everyone else stared at him, waiting for him to be peerless.
Xia Qiyue couldn't wait, and said again, "Dad, I'll beg you for the fourth, you can divide our four rooms!" Even if the fourth child comes back in the future, I won't let him blame you! Today's separation is what I begged for! I won't blame you for life or death in the future! ”
Old man An was still hesitating, but the old lady next to him pushed him, "Old man, otherwise let's divide them!" It's too late to solve it! ”
She also heard the noise outside, and it was obvious that people were already walking outside the village, and it would be too late if they didn't leave.
"Good!"
After a long time, Old Man An made a difficult decision and nodded in agreement with Xia Qiyue's request.
"Thank you, Dad!" Xia and July were relieved.
"There is nothing to divide at home, the escape is imminent, there are only two water bladders at home, ten catties of water, and there are not many rations, and your mother made steamed buns yesterday! I'll give you one and a half pounds of water, six wild vegetable buns, and your life and death in the future will have nothing to do with Lao An's family! You have to do it yourself! ”
It's as simple as that, two years of drought, the rations that should be eaten are almost eaten, said to be wild vegetable buns, in fact, there are many wild vegetables, there is not much food, and wild vegetables are not poisonous on the line, as for whether it is delicious or not, no one can care, regardless of its bitter and sour, it is good to fill the stomach.
Xia Qiyue knew that no matter how much she asked, it would be impossible to meet it, so she nodded happily in agreement.
Although her lottery space is a little pitted, she doesn't believe that she won't be able to draw life-saving things after a few more days, after all, she is a traverser, and God can't force her to death.
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward and asked for the water bladder from Xia Qiyue's hand.
Xia Qiyue ran back to the four-room room and took the only water bladder, which could hold three catties of water.
I didn't even bother to look at the children on the kang, so I ran to the upper room.
The others had already packed their things and prepared to flee.
The old lady didn't ink either, so she quickly gave Xia Qiyue the things that the old man said he would give to the fourth room.
It was really a black six wild vegetable buns, and the old lady didn't give much, and at a glance, she knew that this was not enough for a pound and a half, and it was a little short.
But Xia Qiyue didn't have time to think about so much, she twisted the water bladder, picked up the bun and ran back to the room.
I saw that the two little guys on the kang were looking at her with their eyes open, An Qingxuan eased up a little, and An Qingke also looked a lot better.
"Quick, drink some water, eat some steamed buns, let's follow the team to escape the famine!" Xia Qiyue climbed onto the kang, unscrewed the water bladder, and handed it to her daughter's mouth first.
"Mother, Ke'er is much better, my brother left half a saliva for Ke'er to drink just now! Let's drink some first! ”
The child who is only three years old, and the words he says make people gasp in distress.
Xia Qiyue looked at the two children who were so sensible, her eyes were slightly red, and she still firmly put the water bladder against her daughter's mouth, "Ke'er take two more sips to recover some strength, otherwise you will have to escape for a while, my mother is afraid that you will not be able to stand it!" Shrewd! Drink it! ”
No matter how you say it, it's just a three-year-old child, An Qingke didn't resist the temptation in the end, and opened his mouth to drink water.
Xia Qiyue let the little guy drink two or three sips, and then handed it to An Qingxuan on the side.
The elder brother only spoke up for tea before the younger sister, and she was glad that the two children were the same age, but the son could remember to take care of his sister in that situation.
An Qingxuan didn't waste time, he drank two sips of water directly by her hand, and sighed after drinking, the feeling of drinking water was too comfortable.
Xia Qiyue also drank two sips of himself, took out six wild vegetable buns from the cloth pocket, broke one with his hands, gave one and a half to the two little guys, broke one himself, and took the remaining four and a half back into the cloth bag, and the mother and son sat on the kang, facing each other, and ate the wild vegetable buns one by one.
Xia Qiyue choked a few times, it was really hard to swallow, but she couldn't stop eating, if she didn't eat, her body would not be able to replenish it, and she was about to escape from the famine, and she took two three-year-old dolls, afraid of what happened.
In the year of escaping the famine, cannibalism abounded, and she couldn't be careless.
Outside, Lao An's family has already gone out in a ping pong, a big family, there are many things, and there are two board carts to push, and everyone has a lot of hanging on them.
When the old man An passed by the door of the fourth room, he couldn't hold back after all, and reminded him loudly, "The fourth daughter-in-law, the family is leaving!" Hurry up, too! ”
Xia Qiyue unexpectedly heard the old man's reminder, and hurriedly responded.
Just as the wild vegetable bun was also finished, and the two children were relieved, she got up and packed up the bags that she hadn't finished packing.
There is a quilt and a mattress, one person, two torn clothes and half water bladders, and four semi-wild vegetable buns.
As for other things, they don't have them, they usually eat in the upper room, so they don't have dishes and chopsticks, and the washbasin is missing corners and edges, and it's better not to take it, and it's more weight.
Xia Qiyue rolled up the futon along with the clothes, and threw the water bladder and wild vegetable buns directly into the space, which was safer.
If it weren't for the fear of being suspected, she would have wanted to throw everything into the space, but there was no way, they had to follow the large team in the village to escape, so it would be difficult to do it without bedding when resting.
He took up the salute and led the two staggering children, who had no strength to walk, and walked out.
She was afraid that the two children would fall before they could leave the village.
The two children were sensible, and none of them made a fuss to let her hug, and they followed her out with difficulty.
The mother and son went out of the house to take a look, and sure enough, Lao An's family had already left, and the courtyard door was so open, extremely desolate and gloomy.
Xia Qiyue saw a big back basket in front of the door, and his eyes lit up.
I don't know who left it for her on purpose or forgot to take it, anyway, this backpack helped her a lot.
She hurriedly ran over and put the salute on her back into the basket, the bedding was thin, there were not many clothes, and there was still half room in the basket.
She lifted the back basket and walked over, "Xuan'er, Ke'er, you sit in the back basket!" Mother carries you on her back! ”
The two little guys actually waved their hands again and again, and An Qingxuan spoke, "Mother, let's go by ourselves, we can!" ”
The little face is full of a determined look, a thin sunken face, and a righteous face.
An Qingke also waved his hand, saying that he should not sit in the back basket at all.
Xia Qiyue looked at the two sensible children like this, and suddenly felt that it was not for nothing that she came here, at least she had such a pair of lovely children.
