Chapter Eighty-Nine: Chestnut Grove Discovered

"Xiao Cang, what's your real name?"

Hearing that Xiao Cang could speak intermittently, everyone gathered around.

They all wanted to know what Xiao Cang's name was, why he became a criminal at such a young age, and why his voice was hoarse.

"I was poisoned by my stepmother, who was afraid that I would take the family property from my brother and throw me in prison." Xiao Cang explained simply.

But the amount of information in these words is also amazing.

What a big family property, and what a bad stepmother, who was willing to turn a child about ten years old into a death row prisoner.

And Xiaocang's father, why did he so condone his stepmother to hurt his son?

"Do you have any relatives to run to?" Mother-in-law Li asked.

She didn't want Xiao Cang to go, but the way to escape was too difficult. If there are relatives to rely on, there is no need to follow them to escape the famine and endure hardships.

"No, my mother is dead, and my grandfather is also dead."

After Xiao Cang finished speaking, Li and Liu Chunniang were already red-eyed.

"It's okay, you have a lot of relatives now."

Ye Sang patted Xiao Cang's shoulder, she has been an orphan since she was a child, and she has never known what family affection is. But she grew up with Qin He, and she felt that Qin He was her family.

Similarly, the second room of the Zhao family will be Xiao Cang's family after the second room.

"Then in that case, Da Man's father, why don't we take in a godson."

Mother-in-law Li wiped her tears and instigated Second Master Zhao.

"That's a good feeling! As long as Xiaocang agrees, I will have a son for nothing. ”

Second Master Zhao had just come back from patrol, and when he heard that he was going to have a godson, he smiled from ear to ear.

"Don't you dislike me!"

Xiao Cang looked at everyone in the second room of the Zhao family, and his heart was full of gratitude.

Along the way, everything in the second room of the Zhao family was equally distributed to everyone.

Even sometimes, the Li family and Liu Chunniang would secretly stuff him with Zhao Sanlu and Zhao Sigu behind their backs.

Ye Sang was also very good to him, and every time he took him to hunt, he never tired of teaching him.

"Godfather, godmother."

Xiao Cang knelt down solemnly and changed his words to the second elder of the Zhao family.

"Then let's have dinner tonight! Grilled horse meat! ”

I don't know who said it, the second room of the Zhao family ate another meal of meat in the middle of the night.

The next day, there was an additional godson in the second room of the Zhao family, and the matter of eating horse meat in the middle of the night was rumored.

"I took a godson and ate a horse! Isn't that a bit of a burnt bun! ”

That being said, there are still people who exchange a lot of goods for horse meat.

"Can I exchange this handful of wild leeks and these cloth shoes for a pound of horse meat?"

Zhao Xiaohua, who fell into the pit yesterday, brought a pair of newly made cloth shoes to exchange for horse meat.

"Okay."

Ye Sang cut a pound of horse meat for Zhao Xiaohua, and took the wild leeks and shoes.

Zhao Xiaohua looked at the two tigers from a distance, thought they were cats, and said with a smile: "Ye Sang, why do you have two cats?" ”

After Li knew that these two tigers were the same last night, he made two hats to block the king characters on the tiger's head, just because he was afraid that the people in the village would be afraid or kill the two tigers if they knew about it.

"Children like it, pick it up and raise it to play." Ye Sang said perfunctorily, just when he heard the two tigers open their mouths and yawn.

"It's scary for this wild cat to yawn."

Zhao Xiaohua didn't suspect anymore, and left with the horse meat.

……

The village set off again, but much slower than before.

There are trees everywhere, and there are hunting pits and swamps underneath.

"Woohoo! Whew! There were also a few wolf howls in the woods.

"There were tigers last night, and wolves today? Why is this forest so scary! ”

The people of Zhaojia Village stopped their pace, and they didn't dare to continue to move forward.

Li Zheng also took out the map with a few people in the village and studied it carefully.

"The mountain in front of you is a wolf mountain. Listening to this name, it is estimated that there are really wolves. ”

Li Zheng couldn't help but be a little worried as he spoke.

"Shall we go around again?" Someone in the village suggested.

"The detour is to go to Xuancheng." Li Zheng's son Zhao Xiang sighed.

Refugees are not allowed to pass through the city, and now they have to bite the bullet and move forward.

Ye Sang also frowned slightly.

Encountering a wolf in the woods is a trivial matter.

If you encounter wolves......

Wolves are one of the most cohesive animals, living in groups and particularly cooperative.

Generally, the old wolf charges to lead the way, then the adult strong wolf, the middle is the female wolf and the young wolf cubs, then the adult strong wolf, and then the wolf king.

But the wolf king, who walked last, was the most powerful and intelligent among the wolves.

"Why don't we find a flat area to camp in first, and then think about it in the long run?" Zhao Fu said.

None of the people in the village objected. I walked forward for about an hour, and rested early.

Because of the wolves, the people in the village did not dare to go too far and were looking for food everywhere.

Children were also told to look after their homes and not to go alone in the mountains and forests.

"So many chestnut trees."

As soon as they stopped to rest, Zhao Chen and Ye Sang found a chestnut forest. Seeing this, he hurriedly called out to the people of Zhaojia Village.

The people of Zhaojia Village were still worried about the wolves, but when they heard that they had discovered the chestnut forest, everyone instantly became energetic.

One by one, they took baskets and baskets, and they all walked towards the chestnut forest.

On the more than ten chestnut trees, many people quickly climbed up.

The men tapped it with sticks, while the women and children picked it up under the tree.

Zhou Xiaoyue knew that there were chestnuts, and she couldn't care about her stomach being too big to bend over, so she took Zhao Doudou and Zhao Yaya to pick up chestnuts.

"You two pick up more and keep it for grandma."

Zhou Xiaoyue also squatted down and picked up a lot of chestnuts. One trip after another, so I don't get busy.

Liu Chunniang boiled hot water on the spot and came to drink it to the people in the second room of the Zhao family, and saw this scene.

It's been seven months, and Zhou Xiaoyue's belly is bulging, bending back and forth, which will press the child.

She is also seven months pregnant, and no one in the second room of the Zhao family is now allowed to do heavy work. If she hadn't been too busy today, she wouldn't have been asked to deliver the water.

"Zhou Xiaoyue, be careful."

Liu Chunniang reminded carefully and handed Zhou Xiaoyue a little water.

"If I'm not thirsty, I won't drink."

Zhou Xiaoyue was tired and sweating profusely, it could be seen that the people in Zhaojia Village were picking chestnuts, and she was afraid that she would rest and pick up less than others.

In that case, her mother-in-law will scold her again.

"Okay." Liu Chunniang didn't want to say anything, so she went to deliver water to the people in the second room of the Zhao family.

At night, every household peels the burr shell of chestnut.

It was a round ball on the outside of the chestnut, which was so hard that it would cut your hand if you weren't careful.

Normally, it's just to let it kill and crack on its own.

But on the way to escape, everyone is waiting to eat. Then adults and children moved together, some with their feet, and some with stones.

Zhou Xiaoyue was also stepping on it with her feet, one foot after another, and her stomach was shaking back and forth.

Ye Sang's eyes narrowed, and he reminded loudly: "Zhou Xiaoyue, you are not suitable for this job. ”

"She's not suitable, and there's no way to do it."

After taking Ye Sang's medicine, Grandma Sun was already able to speak simply: "Our family's food is all for you, and those who don't eat will starve to death." ”

Granny Sun said and walked towards the second room of the Zhao family, and thanked Ye Sang vigorously.

"Ye Sang, thank you for saving me."

Grandma Sun said with sharp eyes, fell on the two tigers, and screamed violently: "How do you raise tigers!" ”
