Chapter 393: Alive

Lao Jiangtou walked past them with his head down, and one of the women suddenly blocked Lao Jiangtou's way.

Lao Jiang raised his eyes and looked at the other party, with thin and withered yellow skin, and a conspicuous black mole on the corner of his mouth, which was the famous long-tongued woman in the village.

Aunt Dao was single when she came to this village, although she was thin, she was very hard-working and hardworking, and soon settled down in the village.

It's just that this person's only flaw is that he likes to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the surrounding family, and when he has nothing to do, he will gossip about Rory, and at this moment she blocked Lao Jiangtou, which also made Lao Jiangtou a little embarrassed, and I don't know what words will pop out of the other party's mouth.

"Lao Jiangtou, this year's harvest, your big-bellied girl can't still survive" Aunt Dao said with a playful face, on the surface she was concerned, but in fact it was ridicule and ridicule.

"She's not a big belly"

"She has a name, her name is Jiang Xiaoyu! Don't keep making fun of her, I'll be angry if I do it again" Lao Jiangtou's rare face straightened up, as if he was about to have a seizure.

"Ouch, Lao Jiangtou will be angry too"

"Aunt Dao, don't tease Lao Jiangtou, people are honest, you can explain the matter, it just so happens that people are here now" Another older woman interrupted Aunt Dao's words and reconciled.

"Okay" Aunt Dao stuck out her tongue and held back the words she was about to complain about.

"Lao Jiangtou, I heard that there is a group of homeless people from afar in the east of the village, there seems to be a person with strange abilities and magic among them, why don't you take your girl to see if there is any illness, there is an explanation" Aunt Dao said her true meaning at this moment.

Hearing this, Lao Jiangtou's face instantly softened, it turned out that the other party didn't mean to target, but just provided him with some information from the rumors, and also hoped that they would be well.

"Thank you!"

"I'll check it out!" Lao Jiangtou thanked him again and again, bowed his body and continued to walk forward, the older woman glanced at Lao Jiangtou who disappeared in the dense forest, and sighed helplessly, "It's so late, he still went to the forest, isn't it just to get some food for that girl?"

"Yes, Lao Jiangtou has been digging in the field day and night since he picked up that female doll, and it is really not easy to raise that female doll so big."

"That girl can really eat four or five people in a meal?"

"Of course, you can't eat enough to eat so much, it's better than a cow working in the field, you say it's scary!" Aunt Dao said gossipily, and the two chatted about each other and entered the village.

On the sheep intestine path, Lao Jiangtou's lonely figure shuttled forward, he often squatted down, gently brushed the soil in front of him with his hand, and felt if there were any edible mushrooms here.

It's a pity that everyone is having a hard time these years, and even the fungi that grow everywhere in the mountains are difficult to encounter.

The mist shrouded the clear moon, Lao Jiangtou stood up from under an old tree again, and patted the soil on his body gently, he walked all over this hill tonight, and only picked a small pocket of mushrooms.

Now he couldn't find anything, so he picked some weeds, tried to grind them and boil them with the mushrooms, and mixed them with some flour to make a pot of porridge.

Lao Jiangtou staggered out of the mountains and forests and returned to the village, only to put down the things he picked up, he patted his head and muttered with some self-reproach, "The firewood is gone, why did you forget this?"

Thinking so, he hurriedly carried the axe out of the village again.

The sky was slightly white, three or two roosters crowed, and faint cooking smoke also came out from all over the village, and the people here generally got up early, and began to prepare to eat as soon as the morning dawned, and they were full of food and good work.

The same is true in Lao Jiangtou's small courtyard, the cooking smoke curls, Lao Jiangtou's eye bags are swollen like two bulging buns, it is not the first time he has done this, how many times have he gone out at night to find something to eat, and when he comes back, he has to prepare to cook.

The door of the hut was pushed open with a creak, steaming white, Lao Jiangtou put two bowls of steaming weed mushroom porridge on the table, and then he first walked to the small bed where the girl was sleeping, gently shook her shoulders, and said softly, "Xiaoyu, get up and eat, don't be hungry"

The girl opened her eyes sleepily, looked at Lao Jiangtou a little blankly, after seeing his red eyes and swollen boss's eye bags, the girl woke up suddenly, her bright big eyes instantly became foggy, she knew what Lao Jiangtou was doing at night, she was a little sad and grabbed the futon with her hands.

"Grandpa, you can't hold it anymore, I'm not so hungry, I won't die if I don't eat so much, you really don't want to be like this, okay!" The girl pleaded bitterly, her face pale, and although she was hungry, her body could not deceive, and her stomach was already croaking.

The girl's face was ashamed and angry, and she raised her hands and hammered them towards her stomach, and she couldn't stop scolding, "Let you eat, let you eat!" It's not enough to eat so much, I'm just going to die!! Don't harm others."

Seeing this, Lao Jiangtou was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the girl and asked her not to hurt herself anymore, and at the same time promised repeatedly, "Grandpa will never go out at night again, you get up and eat porridge, grandpa still has to sleep, okay?" ”

After a while of appeasement, the girl finally calmed down, she glanced at the steaming porridge on the table with some greed, she actually wanted to fly over and eat immediately, but because of her face, she also felt ashamed of the old man, so she desperately suppressed herself and didn't let herself eat.

Lao Jiangtou really had no choice, took the initiative to bring a bowl of porridge to the girl, the heat was straight on the girl's face, she finally couldn't hold on, took the bowl and drank it directly, although she ate roughly, but Lao Jiangtou showed a gratifying smile on his face, whenever he saw the girl can eat in a big gulp, he will feel happy no matter how hard and tired he is.

Seeing that the girl finished a bowl of porridge in three or two, Lao Jiangtou smiled and accepted the empty bowl, went to the square table to pick up another bowl of porridge, walked to the boy's bedside, and gently called the boy to get up and eat.

The boy slowly ripped off the futon, revealing a pair of bright eyes to look at Lao Jiangtou, the boy was also very smart, he could see Lao Jiangtou's tired face, and he could also feel the hard-won bowl of porridge, so he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't eat, I'm not hungry, you eat, you can rest when you're full."

The boy's words were intermittent, but these words fell on Lao Jiangtou's ears but they were so warm, Lao Jiangtou slowly sat down, stroked the boy's hair with his hand, and comforted him, "How can you do it if you don't eat, you are still so young, you need to eat more, I have already eaten, I will rest later"

"Grandpa!"
