Shen Tan's little mouth was loud, and the old woman was distressed and happy.

"I didn't expect you to lose your father at such a young age! Blame the poor one, that's fine! I will take you a penny of silver, and in this year of famine, you should do good deeds and accumulate virtue. ”

Shen Tan looked at the Li family, signaled that the Li family was okay, and thought about turning around and quietly handing over the huge amount of money on his body to the Li family.

"Okay! So, may I ask my mother-in-law, we want to go to a nearby market or village to resupply, but we don't know how to get there? ”

Li paid the money and inquired about the route.

Shen Tan blinked, and the cheap lady thought of going with him.

"Don't go to the village market, everyone is preparing to escape the famine, you hurry forward, go to the town as soon as possible to replenish supplies! If it's late, it is estimated that the big families in the town will also leave, and you will have nowhere to stay. ”

Li and the others thanked him, listened to his mother-in-law's words, and sped up his speed and walked forward.

But Li is carrying An An on his back, and there are two children by his side, no matter how fast he is, where can he go fast?

When I walked to the town after dark, the shops were closed, and in some small alleys there were many people who had fled the desert and stayed overnight.

"You are also fleeing the famine! Why didn't you bring anything, how can you sleep this night? ”

An old woman couldn't help but ask when she saw that Li was alone with three children.

"We ...... We were separated from our families, everything was on their side, thinking of finding an inn to stay overnight, and going to find them tomorrow, but I didn't expect the inn to be open! ”

"You don't know if you're late, this evening, a group of people came into the town, robbed when they entered the shop, took things when they entered the inn, and injured the shopkeeper, so the shops in the town can only be closed, we stay here for one night today, and we have to leave early tomorrow morning, otherwise we will be driven out."

Shen Tan understood it, and Li and the others naturally understood, so they found an open space to sit down, and they were tired of walking regardless of whether it was dirty or not.

"Yo! You don't have anything here, so you should wake up cold tomorrow after sleeping like this. ”

Li smiled helplessly, and only said: "No way, we have nothing but to sleep for one night, and we will have the opportunity to buy another one tomorrow." ”

The old woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”

Li Shi looked around, thought of all the things along the way, and said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to stay on this road, so let's go back and think about buying something that can be used for the night, and then buy some dry food, and see if we can go to Fucheng." ”

As soon as Li said this, the old woman took out a half-old mat from her small cart.

"You want to buy something, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy, I have a mat here that is superfluous, can you see if you can use it?"

Shen Tan: "......" This mother-in-law is afraid that she is waiting for this......

"Gotta use, gotta use, how do you want to sell it?"

"Don't give money, you can't spend it if you have money these days, do you have anything to eat? At this time, it is best to stock up on food. ”

Lee's is very rare.

"Mother! We'll just not catch a cold overnight, so we don't have to change this mat! ”

Shen Tan pulled the Li family, and they didn't have any food themselves, just a few breads and steamed buns.

"I'm sorry, mother-in-law, when we were separated from our family, we didn't leave anything behind, especially food, I only have three copper plates here, if you want, I will buy your mat, if you don't want to, forget it."

Li saw Shen Tan's thoughts and knew that the food could not be taken out, but she still had a few copper plates, it was not that she couldn't endure hardship, it was that Sister Tan and Brother Yi were too young, and there was an injured An An.

"Three copper plates are too few, I'd better keep them!"

The old woman took the mat back and didn't even look at them.

Li said helplessly; "Is it feasible for me to add another one? Mother-in-law, you have a kind heart, for the sake of the child who is too young to get cold, you can be kind and sell me four copper plates, right? ”

When she said this, she was very groveling.

Shen Tan looked uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Mother is fine, Brother Yi and I are solid, we won't get cold, we only have a total of fifteen copper plates, you will give four at once, will we eat in the future?" ”

Li Shi was puzzled when she heard this, she obviously had more than fifteen copper plates, why did Sister Tan say that she only had fifteen copper plates?

But as soon as she turned around, she saw Shen Tan winking at her, and suddenly said, "Sister Tan is right, this mat can't be bought." ”

"That's it, if you are willing to give five copper plates, I will sell it to you, it is not easy to see that you and your family are separated, give you one hand to pay and one hand to deliver!"

Li Shi carried the old woman and counted out five copper plates for her, so that she got a mat, and reluctantly lay down for the three children, and she sat on the side at will.

Shen Tan couldn't bear it in his heart, and pushed An An and Shen Yi to let the two of them sleep sideways.

"Squeeze it, my mother is the backbone, if she gets cold, we won't survive!"

This was said to An An, because when she pushed them, An An looked at her with small eyes that were puzzled and swallowed.

"Mother! You lie down here, we're small, we're sleeping, we're sleeping. ”

Li Shi touched Shen Tan'er's head with great relief: "My mother's sister Tan has grown up, and I know that I feel sorry for my mother!" ”

Shen Tan nestled in her arms, enjoying the warmth of her mother's love, such a mother's caress that she could never dream of in her previous life.

"Of course, I'm my mother's little padded jacket, my mother, I feel sorry for myself!"

Li's eyes moistened and patted her back: "Sleep!" We're on our way early tomorrow morning. ”

At noon the next day, a young man came to the tea shed on the side of the road, the mother-in-law who sold tea was very busy, there were a lot of people who came today, they were all drinking water, loading water, resting, when the mother-in-law was drawing water in her own well today, there was no water, from last night to now, she had three buckets, she planned to sell these three barrels today, and the old man joined the team to escape the famine, and she will not come tomorrow.

"Does the little brother want to eat lunch or just drink water?"

The young man didn't say what to eat, but asked, "Mother-in-law, I want to ask you, do you see an adult with two children?" The two children are twins. ”

This young man is Shen Lingxiao, he delayed a lot of time at the village chief's house yesterday before going home, and Zhou's mother was clamoring to ask Mrs. Shen to hand over Mrs. Li's mother and son, otherwise she would be dragged to see the official, and Mrs. Shen panicked when she heard that she saw the official.

The thugs suggested that Shen Jia was not bad, Zhao was a widow, and he could also sell some silver, Zhou's mother was tempted, Zhao was frightened, so she knelt in front of him and begged him, and finally told the truth of the matter, he was immediately furious, and kicked Zhao over.

Zhao cried and knelt in front of him again, using the trick of his previous life to kidnap him morally.

"Second cousin, you have to help me, this is what you owe me, if it wasn't for the Li family to seduce you back then, how could I marry the third cousin and become a young widow, don't you know what life I've lived all these years? Second cousin, if you still have a heart, help me once! ”
