Chapter 14: Hiding in the Mountains
"Dad, there is a cave in the West Mountain, which I discovered by accident. The cave was about a foot above the ground, with a boulder in front of it, and a lot of low trees growing on the edge of the cave entrance, which you would never find unless you approached it. In addition, the cave is very spacious, and it will not be crowded with more than a dozen people. ”
"You want them to live in the mountains all the time?"
"Well, at least wait until Ayu is out of confinement, or our realm is safe."
"And when are we going to go?"
"When it gets dark, I don't want others to see us go to Xishan."
"Erlang is right, the less one person knows, the less danger there is."
Weng and his son-in-law discussed it and continued to clean up.
The old man Zhou in the upper room paced back and forth, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Wang was also afraid, "His father, what can I do if the Tartars call." I've heard that those Tartars are all vicious, and killing people is like chopping melons and vegetables. Oh my God, how can this make us live. ”
"Vicious? Are you evil? ”
Wang: ...
"Originally, there was a second child, and he could take us with him wherever he went. But this time, you're embarrassed to follow. ”
Wang wanted to say, what was there to be embarrassed about, but the words choked on his lips.
Just this morning, the second child's wolf-cub-like eyes can make her have nightmares at night.
Now let her go with that little deflated calf, she really doesn't dare.
She was afraid that the calf would take advantage of the old man's inattention and throw her into a corner to fend for herself.
She wanted to shout God again, a mistake turned into a thousand years of hatred, the Wang family now hates the Zhu family very much, if she hadn't pleaded with her, how could she betray her relatives.
The old man scolded, the brother complained, the second son hated her, and the two members of the Jin family couldn't wait to slaughter her and feed the dogs.
Today, my mother's brother came, and when he entered the door, his nose was not his nose, and his face was not his face, and he scolded her in front of the old man.
One said how old she was, and she was going to have a good life, so what were she doing.
The other said it was even more blunt, and she didn't want to hear it twice.
Oh my God, she was ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Alas, she didn't expect it to be like this, if she knew that this was the result, she wouldn't have gotten on the thief ship of the eldest daughter-in-law.
Old man Zhou: If you want to know now, why bother in the beginning. It's useless to talk that now, you can't eat, and your son is completely separated from them.
…
When the last ray of light disappeared in the western sky, Erlang personally sat on the thick donkey cart with his daughter-in-law wrapped in zongzi.
Liang Jing then sat next to her daughter with her eldest grandson in her arms, and Weng and her son-in-law put rice bags and a few baggage yards next to them.
Jin Sheng was still not at ease, afraid that his daughter would be affected by the wind, so he took advantage of the night to cover a piece of rain cloth on it.
Tuesday Lang reached out and touched it, and knew that it was a good thing, so he didn't say anything.
Now Shangyang Village is about to become a pot of porridge, and every household is nervously cleaning up their things, even the children can see that the adults in the family look wrong, and they dare not make a fuss.
The donkey cart was escorted by Weng and his son-in-law, and soon left the village. Follow the road at the end of the village and head to the west mountain.
It was getting farther and farther away from the village, and no one could hear the screams, so Liang Jing dared to speak. "God has fulfilled us today, and there is no wind."
"Yes, otherwise I'm really afraid of my daughter's wind."
Jin Liangyu didn't speak, and his brain was a mess.
This is the first time she has been hugged by a man, or a princess. (When I was a child, my father didn't count)
Ah, her face is even hotter.
Jin Liangyu was embarrassed to think about it again, and not long after giving birth, his body was weak, so he leaned on the burden and became confused.
I don't know how long it took, but the donkey cart stopped, and Erlang picked her up again, and she didn't have to open her eyes to feel them going up the mountain.
None of them spoke, and only heavy gasps were heard in their ears.
Jin Liangyu's heart was even more confused, so he whispered: "I'll come down and go by myself." ”
"It's cool on the mountain, and your body can't stand the wind now. Ayu endured a little longer, and we will be there in a while. ”
After listening to Erlang's words, Jin Liangyu didn't struggle anymore, and obediently leaned on his arms and let him hold him.
They felt the darkness, and walked for about ten minutes before they heard Erlang turn around and say to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Dad, mother, it's just ahead." ”
Tuesday Lang said as he freed up a hand to push aside the bushes, revealing the dark hole inside.
"Dad, you hug Ayu first, I'll go in and light the fire, you guys are going in."
"Okay."
Father Jin promised in his mouth, took his daughter, and then took advantage of this vacancy to look around.
Liang Jing held the corner of her eldest grandson's quilt in her mouth along the way, and kept silently reciting in her heart: "Good Dabao go with grandma." ”
At this time, it can be counted as the boundary of the land, and when I can finally relax, I saw the master looking around.
But the darkness around him couldn't see anything, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Tuesday Lang entered the cave and lit the firewood that he had just rowed.
The flames rose and instantly lit up the cave.
"Dad, mother, come in, I'll go out and pick up some dry branches."
"Well, it's a nice place, a great place to hide. If you hadn't led the way, we wouldn't have been able to find it. ”
Father Jin looked at the cave, the entrance of the cave was as tall as an adult man, two people wide, and the interior was more spacious, about one hundred and seventy or eighty square meters.
When Father Jin saw his son-in-law put down a mat to the leeward place, he put his daughter on the mat.
It may be that the sound of everyone's speech is loud, and there is still some echo in the cave, and the little baby moves his little body and wakes up.
"Yo, look at us and be so worry-free, we slept all the way, and we didn't wake up until we arrived."
Liang Jing saw that her eldest grandson was about to cry again, so she hurriedly reached out to manage the milk powder that her daughter wanted to make.
"Girl, hurry up and give me the prepared milk powder, it just so happens that Erlang is out."
"Huh."
There was another period of chaos, and when Erlang came in with a bundle of dry branches, Dabao fell asleep again after eating and drinking.
Father Jin was sweeping the floor with a broom, and by the light of the fire, the first time Zhou Lang saw such a broom, it was strange and beautiful.
It's just that he doesn't understand, it's just a sweeping thing, what to do so finely.
Also, it doesn't seem to be their broomstick.
Alas, no matter what, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are all for their good.
Tuesday Lang put down the branch in his hand and prepared to go out again.
"Erlang, wait, I'll go with you."
"Dad, no need, it's dark outside, you don't know where it is, or I'll get it myself."
"Okay then."
When Father Jin saw that his son-in-law didn't let him go out, he didn't force it. Instead, by the light of the fire, look around.
"This cave is really good, when the day dawns, I will go out with Erlang to find some bricks and tiles, build a kang here, build a stove, and my eldest daughter will have a hot kang to sleep."
