Chapter 22: The Shadows
The fleeing crowd did not grab the water, and at this time they hurried with dry lips, and from time to time they looked at the back of the team with cruel eyes.
Chen Wanli and Wen were at the front of the line.
"Look! You also said that the Su family is good, but we will be in a difficult situation this time, and they are not even willing to give us water! What a wolf's heart! ”
Wen was very thirsty and became more and more dissatisfied with the Su family.
The ox cart didn't let her sit, and the water didn't let her drink, and the family was ruthless!
Chen Wanli's face was not good-looking, "If you don't give other people's water, you can't do it, it's impossible to grab it!" Besides, Niang and Ah Yuan still have to rely on others! ”
"You only know Niang and Ah Yuan! Didn't they drive people over? If they wanted to come with us, they wouldn't have done it so well! Wen said impatiently.
Wen was so thirsty that she thought she would have to sneak in and get a few bamboo tubes to drink tonight!
She's dying of thirst!
Su Buyi was there, Su Yuanshan was driving the ox cart fast or slow, Su Buyi and Su Buwei were walking on two legs.
In fact, just looking at Chen Wanli's cold eyes just now, the Su family could already let the Chen family's grandmother and Chen Yuan, who were huddled in the corner of the cart, leave their cart.
But no one in the Su family mentioned this.
Grandma Chen and Chen Yuan have always been very honest, staying in a ball on the board car, for fear of taking up a little more space, and never talking too much.
Although Chen Wanli and Wen were a little unkind, the old man and the child were not wrong.
Just by taking a board car, the Su family is not so stingy that they have to worry about the elderly and children.
Along the way, because of Su Yuanshan's merciless words just now, the fleeing people deliberately isolated them.
Next to the Su family's ox cart, there was a vacant vacuum.
Everyone didn't care, you and I were chatting one by one.
In the evening, the group found an open space to rest.
In order to save water, the Su family no longer boiled food with water, but used a kitchen knife to cut a few wooden sticks, skewered wild vegetables on the wooden sticks, and roasted them on a fire to eat.
Sprinkle a little cat salt when roasting, although it is not as good as boiling the belly, but it can also fill the stomach.
Seeing the Su family roasting wild vegetables around the fire, Su Bu was surprised and scooped two bamboo tubes of water from the water tank in the immortal mansion while people were not paying attention.
In the past few days, she has intentionally or unintentionally refilled her bamboo tube.
Because there are many bamboo tubes, Su Buxing acts carefully, and at present, the Su family has not found the water in the bamboo tubes, and it will always become more inexplicably.
On an autumn day, the night was already a little cold, and Zhao came over and took Su Bujing's hand to roast the fire.
After the wild vegetables were roasted, Su Yuanshan got started and distributed a bunch to each Su family member, and then he took a bamboo tube over and drank a sip of water by himself.
After there was something in his stomach, Su Buwei's words increased, "Sister, the second brother really wants to buy you sauce and elbows to eat!" ”
Su Buyi laughed: "You want to eat it yourself!" Don't use your sister as a cover. ”
Su Buwei: ......
Zhao said: "When we get to the county seat, we will go to the restaurant to have a good meal, and A-Niang will have a treat!" ”
Su Buxian was young, and the escape trip in the past few days had made him suffer.
At this time, as soon as he heard that there was a big meal, he immediately began to swallow saliva, licking the bamboo skewers while swallowing saliva.
Looking at Su Buxian's appearance of licking bamboo sticks, and seeing that the family's face was so hungry that they lost weight twice, Su Yuanshan couldn't bear it, and took out a sweet potato from his bedding bag.
"Let's bake a sweet potato today!"
Su Buwei and Su Buxian were surprised, Su Buyi also looked at the sweet potato with bright eyes, and Zhao and Su Yuanshan tucked the corners of their eyes sadly.
It's hard for these children!
The family happily roasted and ate a sweet potato, which made the people around the refugees drool.
They all only eat one meal a day, and the Su family can still eat two meals a day
Not to mention that they haven't touched a drop of water in the past few days, even if they eat dry roasted wild vegetables with no salty taste, they don't dare to eat enough!
If everyone was the same miserable, they could still bear it, but this Su family is not the same as them!
When you are in the quagmire, you can't always see someone standing on the shore and being safe.
I can't wait to pull that person to struggle with myself, this is the most unspeakable darkness in people's hearts.
In the crowd, Wen grabbed Chen Yuan's ears and said with hatred:
"When people eat, don't you know how to put it up? You can also take back the food that is distributed to you, and everyone can eat it together! ”
Chen Yuan was silent with red eyes, holding his grandmother tightly with his right hand, and his well-behaved appearance made Chen Wanli feel very distressed.
"What kind of anger with children! If only we had a stutter! Some of the people in the team are already gnawing on the bark! ”
Those who gnawed on the bark were the ones who had been too troubled and didn't follow back to find something.
The dispute elsewhere had nothing to do with the Su family, and they rested after eating good food.
But today, Su Yuanshan specially woke up to keep vigil.
Because the people in the team can no longer be fully trusted.
On autumn nights, the wood fire burns "poof", not only to disperse the beasts, but also to keep warm.
Su Yuanshan half-hung his head, leaning on the old cow, unable to see his expression clearly.
In the hazy darkness, someone opened his eyes and walked lightly towards the Su family's ox cart.
Li Goudan was lazy before, and did not follow back to look for wild vegetables, not only thirsty these days, but also so hungry that he gnawed the bark of the tree, and his eyes were already green.
He knew that the Su family, who had an ox cart in the team, was a man with something to eat, and he secretly went to steal two bamboo tubes of water and a little sweet potato at night, which should not be noticed.
With such a fluke mentality, Li Goudan held a wooden stick to strengthen his courage, squatted down, and greedily touched the bamboo tube first.
As a result, his hand touched a soft object with a temperature.
Li Ergou looked at it fixedly, and saw a pair of women's hands touching with him.
Li Ergou was so frightened that he was about to scream, but he saw clearly who the woman in front of him was.
It turned out to be Chen Wanli's daughter-in-law!
Li Ergou covered his mouth, tried his best to control his breathing, and motioned for Wen's cooperation with his eyes.
Wen was also frightened by Li Ergou's appearance, but fortunately, she didn't scream, but her eyes widened.
Between the two looking at each other, they soon tacitly decided to cooperate to steal the Su family's things.
Wen glanced at the grandmother of the Chen family and Chen Yuan who were sleeping in the corner of the cart, and reached out to grab the bamboo tube without looking back.
She's really going to die of thirst, she wants to drink water! Drink all the water of the Su family! Let the Su family be as thirsty as they are!
Li Ergou looked at the futon and bag that was pillowed under Zhao's head in embarrassment, and his heart was horizontal, and he dragged the futon and bag and ran away regardless of it.
At this moment, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded:
"Daddy, there are people here who want to die!"
