She couldn't be said to be unhappy, although when she put her heart into setting that fire, she was already mentally prepared to be arrested and wanted by the government, and she also thought about the ending of being killed with a cane or beheaded.

But if you can't die, who wants to die.

She had been on the alarm for more than a year, and in the first few months she had fled aimlessly, making herself look like a little beggar—and without pretending to be a little beggar, her unkempt appearance and her shabby clothes full of patches and patches were just a little beggar.

Fearing that she would be wanted, she dared to beg for food in remote villages far from the crowds and cities, or go up to the mountains in search of wild fruits to satisfy her hunger. I didn't even dare to inquire about the news.

Thanks to a lot of well-wishers, although the family is poor and dilapidated, they are still willing to give her a bowl of rice soup. When she was at home, she couldn't eat a bowl of rice soup most of the time.

Later, he met a kind-hearted Taoist and brought her back to his Taoist temple to settle down, and lived for more than half a year until the flood occurred.

Living in the Taoist temple for more than half a year is the happiest day in her eleven years, although the work she needs to do is similar to that at home, it is all some work of collecting firewood, cooking and sweeping the floor, but she can eat and dress warmly, and she will not be scolded and beaten.

It's just that when I'm free, I can't help but worry: if she is wanted, will it affect the Taoist chief if she is discovered? If the Taoist knew about her crime and knew that she was wanted, would he drive her away or hand her over to the government?

Now that I heard Li Ping'an's words, especially the opening sentence "It's strange to say", after a little pondering, I understand that although the people in the village suspected that it was arson, they unanimously said that it was an accidental fire.

Although I don't know why they would say this, it is undoubtedly a great thing for her, she is not wanted, and she can live an upright life in the future, without hiding like a mouse who can't see the light.

"Brother Ping'an, what you said is true?" Xu was in disbelief, Xu was too excited, and Caoya's voice trembled a little.

"Of course it's true, I don't have to lie to you, I don't believe you asked Brother Dashan and Zhang Xiaoshan, they can testify, you didn't have anything, and you didn't even report your disappearance." Li Ping'an's tone was sincere, but what he didn't say was that Caoya's uncles came to make trouble, but it didn't make much trouble.

Caoya hurriedly looked at Zhang Dashan and Zhang Xiaoshan, and the brothers nodded to indicate that it was what Li Ping'an said.

The grass laughed, laughed and laughed and cried, tears flashed in her eyes, and her cry was not hidden, louder and louder, more and more presumptuous.

They didn't try to persuade her, and no one comforted her, they couldn't imagine how panicked and frightened a little girl who was only eleven years old after more than a year on the run, and how much pressure she was under for more than a year.

Just let her cry and release her.

But Caoya didn't cry for too long, and after a while, she was a little embarrassed and hurriedly wiped her tears, "It's getting dark, Brother Ping'an, go down the mountain quickly, I'm going back too." ”

"Isn't it you, aren't you coming with us?" Zhang Xiaoshan was anxious, "Didn't you say that everything was fine?" ”

"No, the eldest sister and the younger sister have to take care of them, I don't worry, but I picked them up, and if I abandon them, I can't rest assured." After saying that, the grass girl walked away like a rabbit.

On the way to escape the famine, no one is short of food, food is expensive and difficult to buy, even if Li Ping'an and they can agree to her to take her six children to escape with her, she can't agree, those six children can't do anything, if they eat it is purely for nothing, no matter how they eat, it is difficult for them to find other food on the road.

Although it is dangerous to live in a cave here and it is easy to be attacked by wild beasts, you can dig up some wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits to fill your stomach.

Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Li Ping'an, "Okay, let's do this today, go back and talk to your father and my father to see what they plan." ”

"Li Ping'an, you don't have a heart! How old are the grass, how old are the children, can you live in this barren mountain and wilderness, every night is full of danger! If you still call you Brother Ping'an, aren't you worried that she will be in danger? ”

Li Ping'an's face darkened suddenly, "Yes, I don't have a heart, you have a heart, I don't worry about Caoya, you worry about her, I won't stop you, you go to her, protect her for the night, your father and your mother can't see you go back, let them worry about you for a night, or let them go up the mountain to find you at night!" ”

"What are you yelling about!" Zhang Dashan slapped the back of Zhang Xiaoshan's head, "Go back!" ”

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately looked like a quail, hung his head and followed down the mountain, thinking about whether to tell Peach Blossom about meeting Caoya, and how to tell her if so.

Zhu Erlang couldn't help but be curious and asked Zhang Dashan and Li Ping'an about Caoya, and they didn't avoid him when they talked just now, he could guess a rough idea after listening to a few words, Zhang Dashan and Li Ping'an didn't hide it, and said everything they could say.

When I almost went down to the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, and I saw someone waiting at the foot of the mountain with a torch in the distance.

"Why did you come back so late?" Zhang Yu asked.

"I walked a little farther away, found a place that was not frequented by many people, and picked up a lot of good things." Li Ping'an turned around and put the back basket in front of Zhang Yu with a show of shame.

Zhang Yu glanced at it by the firelight, with a smile on his face, slapped Li Ping'an's shoulder, and pinched it, "Good luck!" ”

"It's not bad, it should be said that it's good, and there is a great thing, so I won't tell you now, and I'll tell you when a few of us are full."

Zhang Yu didn't ask, but just pinched Li Ping'an's shoulder a few more times, and the force was even greater, and Li Ping'an grinned in pain.

After hurriedly eating, Li Ping'an and they found Li Erlin, Zhang Yu, Chen Song and a few other adults who can call the shots, first said that they could find food and herbs on the mountain, and proposed to stay for one more day tomorrow and pick more herbs.

Herbs can save their lives at a critical time, Li Erlin of course they have no opinion, and they have been on the road for almost half a month, and they should rest for a day, anyway, it is not bad for this day or two, so they readily agreed.

Next, Li Ping'an said that he met the grass on the mountain, and several adults were taken aback, and Li Erlin, who has always been emotionally stable, directly interrupted Li Ping'an's words.

"Is it really grass?"

"Really, yes, she took the initiative to greet us first."

"Is she alright?" This is what Chen Song asked.

"It's okay, it looks fine, it's the same as when I was in the village."

Chen Song asked eagerly: "Then why don't you take her down the mountain?" ”

"Having said that, she doesn't want to ......"
