Just in case, before the sun went down, the team left the official road and found a place that was supposed to be a village to rest.

This time there was no house for them to live in, but fortunately there was also a well, and it was still early in the morning, and the other homeless people were still hurrying away, but no one was competing with them for the place next to the well.

As for some of the displaced people who have made up their minds to follow them, it is even more impossible to say anything, and they did not take the wells for themselves anyway.

As usual, the cart with household goods and rice grains and the elderly and children were in the middle, the outer layer was the women, and the married men were in the outermost. After settling down, the women, who were supposed to start preparing for the dinner, were embarrassed, because the homeless people next to them always cast snooping eyes at them.

"Dad, do you want to drive them all away?" Li Ping'an leaned over to Li Erlin and asked in a whisper, but his eyes were staring at the homeless people who followed them, which was really inconvenient.

Li Erlin was muttering and discussing things with Zhang Yu, when he heard this, he glanced at those homeless people, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them, you can't drive them away." You go and talk to your mother and aunt, cook all the rice and grain that you exchanged with people's teeth before, and we will have enough to eat at night. ”

"Is there really anyone eyeing us? Will someone really come and rob us at night? Li Ping'an frowned and asked.

"I don't know, but it's never a bad thing to be prepared. Our large pile of things and population are too eye-catching, especially there are so many children, and if you grab them and sell them, you can get a lot of money and food. Li Erlin sighed, "We walked fast before, and everyone was not hungry yet, so it was quite smooth, but we have been walking for many days, and this place is far from the state city, so we have to be careful." ”

"Then they know that we have food, will they also be upset?" Li Ping'an looked at those homeless people again, and couldn't stop worrying, "If someone really comes to rob our people and things, will they also take advantage of the chaos?" ”

"I can't take care of it, I can fight if I can, and if I can't fight, I can escape a few." Speaking of this, Li Erlin paused and patted Li Ping'an's shoulder, "If you really want to run for your life, you will run away with your younger brothers and sisters, and your mother and I will drag them for you if you work hard, it's really not good, don't care about them and be rich, you can escape by yourself, you can live one by one, you are a clever one, my father believes that as long as you can escape, you will definitely be able to live." ”

Li Ping'an was silent, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, "Even if I can escape, it's not interesting to live if I'm the only one left, isn't it just desperate, in this world, it's not a relief to die." ”

Because he has memories of his previous life, he doesn't have much sense of belonging to the era in which he lives in this life, and if his family members in this life are gone, he feels like a duckweed without roots.

It was Li Erlin's turn to be silent, and after a while, he patted Li Ping'an's shoulder again, "Go ahead, ask your mother to cook and eat, you understand what to say and what not to say, don't let them worry too much, such a bad situation may not happen." ”

Li Ping'an nodded, turned around and returned to Chen Dajuan's side, pretending to be okay and said, "Mother, Dad said don't worry about them, cook all the rice and grain we exchanged for land, and eat enough tonight." ”

"Do you want to live, when is it, and you still want to eat? He still wants to eat enough for that little rice? Chen Dajuan muttered dissatisfiedly, but she still honestly took out the brown rice that she had exchanged for human teeth before, in fact, there was not much left, and the half-thick porridge would be enough for an adult to eat.

Seeing his mother busy, Li Ping'an sighed in his heart and looked up at his younger brothers and sisters.

Fugui squatted beside Dr. Zhu and followed to learn to read and write, if you want to learn medicine, you can't be illiterate, Fugui can't read a single big character, Dr. Zhu can only work hard to teach Fugui to read and write. Although Fugui didn't know why Dr. Zhu would take him as an apprentice, he knew that it must be the credit of his eldest brother, knew that this was his future way out, and in order to live up to his eldest brother's hard work, he studied very seriously, and cherished this opportunity, pestering Dr. Zhu whenever he had time.

Xiao Ruyi sat in the middle of her grandparents and grandmother, and there were a few old people on the side, she said a word on the left and a word on the right, and her milk voice was milky, which caused the old people to smile from time to time.

Jixiang is telling stories to the children with Xinglong, the little girl has a good memory, Li Ping'an told her those bedtime stories, the short ones can be remembered, and the long ones can't remember so much, just pick some that remember, Xinglong will occasionally add a little.

The time of rest every day is the happiest time for the children, no need to walk in the sun, sit and pinch each other's legs and feet, listen to auspicious stories, smell the rice and wait for the meal.

But not all children are happy, and the older ones are more sensible, and these days of upheaval and dislocation have cast a haze on their otherwise carefree little faces.

When his eyes fell on Zhang Xiaoshan, Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, quietly walked around Zhang Xiaoshan's back and touched it, and slapped him on the shoulder with a cold slap.

Zhang Xiaoshan was startled, and his fast backhand punch went straight to Li Ping'an's front door. Li Ping'an had already taken precautions, took a few steps back and opened the distance, and Zhang Xiaoshan's punch naturally missed.

Seeing that it was Li Ping'an, Zhang Xiaoshan withdrew his hand, impotent and furious, "Li Ping'an, what are you doing, you scared me to death." ”

"What are you thinking?" Li Ping'an asked with a hippie smile.

Zhang Xiaoshan said angrily: "I'm thinking about how to kill you!" ”

"Don't worry, it's not your turn." Li Ping'an sat at the foot of Zhang Xiaoshan and looked at the sunset in the west, "The sunset is very beautiful, but I still think the sunset on the back of the house is better." ”

Zhang Xiaoshan also sat down, "When is it, you still have the heart to watch the sunset." ”

"What, when." Li Ping'an turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, "The sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, what's the use of worrying so much, do you think the sky will collapse?" ”

"You go away, I can't talk to you!"

"Then you can continue to worry."

Li Ping'an stood up and patted his buttocks, saying that he would leave. I couldn't go anywhere, so I sat on the edge of the children's pile, listened to the auspicious story, and watched the sun slowly sink into the mountains.

I don't know when, Dr. Zhu sat next to Li Ping'an, no one spoke, quietly watching the sunset, when the sun completely fell into the mountains, Dr. Zhu's sigh sounded.

Li Ping'an turned his head to look, "Are you so pessimistic for the old man?" ”

"Pessimistic?" Doctor Zhu sneered, "I'm fifty-five this year, and I've lived enough, but I feel a little sorry for you." ”

"I have nothing to regret, I have lived thirteen more years and earned it. Besides, who knows if there really is a mob, do you see? ”
