The sesame ball flicked its tail boringly, and was afraid of waking up the fat girl, the amplitude of the tail was very small, and she looked a little aggrieved.

Liu Dongniang was amused, stepped forward to rub its head, wiped the noodle soup on its mouth with an apron, and finally whispered, "Sesame balls, keep the beads well, I'm going to work, I'll prepare a pot of bones for you at night, okay?" ”

Sesame Ball's happy tail wagged twice, indicating that the deal was struck.

Liu Dongniang got up and was about to leave, but she didn't want Zhuzhu to wake up suddenly, her big eyes were full of horror, and she cried with her mouth shut.

Liu Dongniang was startled, and quickly hugged the fat girl in her arms and gently patted her for comfort.

"What's wrong with Zhuzhu, but you're having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Auntie is here! ”

"Woo, Auntie! There are bad guys! The fat girl hugged her aunt's neck and cried with tears crackling, but what to say, she seemed to be scared again.

In the end, she only shouted, "Grandpa, Zhuzhu wants grandpa!" ”

Liu Dongniang rarely saw the appearance of a fat girl, and she was also a little anxious, so she hurriedly picked up the sesame ball.

"Sesame balls, go to the field and call the old man back! Come on! ”

The sesame balls ran out of the straw shed and went straight to the bud rice field.

As the old saying goes, there is great strength in the number of people, and when you get to work, the number of people is the speed of the extreme.

The old man saw that the bud rice outside his village was about to be harvested, so he planned to take a team of soldiers to Zhangjia Village, but before he could set off, the sesame ball ran over and screamed wildly, and finally bit his trouser leg and dragged it desperately in the direction of the village.

The old man was caught off guard and was almost dragged by a heel, but fortunately he was held back by the soldiers.

There was a soldier who was so grumpy that he was about to kick the sesame ball away when he raised his foot, but the old man immediately stopped him, "Slow down, little brother, be merciful!" ”

He squatted down, patted the sesame ball with his good hand, signaled it not to be in a hurry, and then said to everyone, "This dog was raised in our house since he was a child, and my little grandson was abducted by a kidnapper, and it was also found by the group." So, although it is a dog, it is no different from its own child.

Today, maybe something is in a hurry, it's so reckless, otherwise it would never be like this. ”

The grumpy soldier was embarrassed to hear this, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, old man, I don't know......"

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, you don't know the inside story." I'm afraid that whoever sees it will think that this dog is crazy! ”

After that, he called Tai Jizu over, "Boss, you take the little brothers to Zhangjia Village to harvest buds, and I'll go home first." Remember to bring your little brothers back for dinner early in the evening, and don't go hungry to work. ”

"Got it, Dad."

Tai Jizu hurriedly responded, and then beckoned the soldiers to follow him.

Old Man Tai pinched the cigarette pouch and pot, shook off his stride and ran straight home.

Tai Sanye originally asked him to say something, and shouted a few words from afar, but he didn't hear it......

Zhuzhu's big eyes were red when she cried, her small mouth was tight, and she refused to speak no matter how much Liu Dongniang coaxed her.

Liu Dongniang finally saw the old man appear at the door of the straw shed, and she almost cried.

"Daddy, you're back! When Zhuzhu woke up, she cried, saying that she was afraid! I asked anything, and she didn't say anything! ”

The old man hurriedly took the fat granddaughter over, seeing that the fat girl's crying head was full of sweat beads, and he was afraid that she would blow the wind, so he hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped the fat girl's head tightly.

"Second daughter-in-law, go get busy, I'll coax this girl!"

Liu Dongniang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to get busy.

The old man saw that there was no one around, and called Sesame Ball to guard the door, and then asked in a low voice, "Why is Zhuzhu crying, is it a dream of a bad person?" ”

Zhuzhu nodded vigorously, leaned into her grandfather's ear, and said, "Grandpa, there are bad people beating people with whips, beating many people!" I don't let my family eat, and I have to work at night, so pitiful! ”

The old man frowned when he heard this, his brain was about to smoke, and he didn't think what the dream meant.

On the way, he wondered if the people behind the scenes were going to break it again, such as setting fires, such as snatching buds, but he never thought it would be like this.

A lot of people are working, and there are people with whips and whips?

Is it an overseer?

Or is it captivity and hard labor?

"Zhuzhu, what do those people look like? Do you know each other? ”

The old man tentatively asked a few more words, but he didn't want the fat girl to nod, and counted with his fingers in a milky voice, "Uncle Youcai, the father of the iron egg, the father of the brother of the three dogs!" And ......"

The old man's face changed directly, they are all from the village!

"Is there anything you don't recognize?"

Zhuzhu frowned, nodded and shook her head, "A lot of people, a lot of people!" Zhu Zhu forgot ......"

The old man hurriedly comforted, "If you forget, forget it, Zhuzhu is not afraid, grandpa knows!" ”

At this time, Yang Lihua also rushed over when she heard what she said, and she breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw the old man in the house.

"Dad, Zhuzhu has nightmares again?"

The old man nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Zhuzhu dreamed that many people were working, and I guessed that they were forced labor or taken away to do coolies. You look at the child first, and I'll go to your third uncle to discuss a few words. ”

Yang Lihua's face immediately changed, and she quickly took over the child, not wanting to delay the old man from doing business.

In this world, it is too difficult for ordinary people to live!

Fearing that the war would break out, he had to flee from his homeland.

Second, I am afraid of disasters year after year, and I can't fill the belly of the whole family after a hard year.

Three are afraid that the government will increase taxes and levy labor, and the family will be separated from each other, and they will die of exhaustion!

Now that the war has not yet started, and the disaster has just passed, is the conscription about to follow?

God is so cruel that he doesn't let people live in peace!

Tai Sanye pinched the cigarette pouch and pot, panting a little tired, thinking about catching up with the old brother and asking what happened.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, the old brother came out.

He dragged his old brother to sit under the big tree at the entrance of the village and asked, "What's the matter, you are running back with this fire?" Is there something wrong with the cashmere business? ”

"No," the old man shook his head and responded, "Jiye is also a good hand at doing business now, and with his arrangement, everything is going well."

Not only did the goods to be brought into the grassland be bought, but even the carriage transporting the bud rice seeds was also found for the He brothers. ”

"That's good, that's good!" Tai Sanye nodded again and again, "After harvesting the buds, let the convoy set off quickly, in case the snow falls early, they will have to suffer outside." ”

After that, he asked again, "You haven't said yet, what happened?" ”

The old man was a little hesitant, after all, his granddaughter's nightmare had not been confirmed, and if something went wrong, wouldn't it make the old brother worry.

Tai Sanye saw that he was embarrassed, and he was even more puzzled.

It's always been their two old brothers who have a lot of discussions, why are they hiding it today, what the hell is going on!

He was a little anxious, so he waved a cigarette pouch and asked him, "Sixth, what's going on, you hurry up, you want to kill me in a hurry!"

The old man hurriedly comforted, "Third brother, don't worry, it's not a big deal, I think ......"
