Wen Meijiu nodded to Dazhu with satisfaction, pointed at the carriage and Dazhu in front and said:

"Brother Dazhu, you lead the way in front and I will follow behind."

Dazhu said "Hey" happily and went to the front to catch the car happily.

Wen Meijiu took his mother to the carriage behind. His mother got on the carriage and was a little worried. She whispered to Wen Meijiu:

"Your aunt loves to take advantage of others. Now that Dazhu is here, I'm really afraid she will follow.

I am not afraid of them having a few bites of food, but I am afraid of the endless troubles that will come later."

Having dealt with the aunt for so many years, my mother knows her personality too well: she is picky, strong-willed, and also mean and sarcastic.

Sometimes, even if you want to stay away from such people, you may not be able to avoid them, not to mention that her son has come to help them. I am really afraid that I will be skinned alive.

In the past, there was, and thinking about the harmony between the sisters-in-law, she perfunctorily shut her mouth and let her have peace. Now that her husband has fallen ill, the mother is left with only her eldest daughter to support her, and she is really worried.

Mom, don't worry, we still have Brother Dazhu to help protect us."

Wen Meijiu was not worried at all. He raised his chin towards Dazhu and whispered to his mother:

"Brother Dazhu is practical and capable, his mind is more upright than that of Auntie, and he is willing to be close to us, so if we help them, it will also be a help to ourselves.

Moreover, I can see that the old lady is not afraid of anyone. Brother Dazhu is her weak spot and can control her a little, which can save a lot of trouble.

This will also give an explanation to grandma, so that she won't push the whole family to our side. At that time, even if we want to live in peace, we won't be able to.

The world is so chaotic, it’s safer to have a strong young man to support the crowd on the road.”

After hearing what Wen Meijiu said, the mother felt a little relieved, even relieved that her eldest daughter had figured it out.

"Okay, Mom, I will listen to you."

"Well, mother, as long as I am here, I will never let our family suffer any loss.

I'll take care of it here, you go to the carriage in front and take care of dad, if anything happens to dad, you can take care of him."

There were a lot of things loaded on the carriage at the back, and my mother was an adult, so she couldn't stretch her legs at all in the carriage.

If I go to the carriage in front, I can not only take care of my father, but also lie side by side with him and rest for a while when he is tired.

Jinxiang and Lanling were both still young and thin, and could lie down either way in the car.

Mother also felt that what Wen Meijiu said made sense. She gave Wen Meijiu a few more words of advice and then walked to the carriage in front, looking back every few steps.

At daybreak, several more families arrived one after another. They were probably undecided at first, but when they saw that the village chief was really going to take people away, they were afraid that someone would be left behind and would be in trouble, so they hurried over.

The village chief shouted that everything was arranged, and each household lined up and walked out of the threshing ground.

In addition to the young and strong, the people at the front of the team are the elderly who have rich social experience and are convenient for leading the way.

In the middle are the elderly, women and children, and at the back are young and strong men to prevent any unexpected situations.

When the team reached the entrance of the village, many people in the village who didn't want to leave also rushed over to watch the fun.

They originally came to watch the fun, but when they saw that people were really leaving, they all started crying and mumbling, reluctant to leave.

"If you want to go, hurry home and pack your things. Just make it back before noon."

The team kept hesitating and couldn't move forward. The village chief stomped his feet and gave those who were wavering a final ultimatum. He then let the people at the front go forward. The team behind was very long, but finally they left the village.

As soon as the team left the village, they encountered disaster victims who were resting on both sides of the road. They were all in tattered clothes, lying on the ground, and breathing heavily.

The team had about fifty or sixty people, and they moved slowly and in a mighty manner. After walking for a whole morning, they had only covered five or six miles and were already starving.

The adults were fine, but the children couldn't bear the slightest bit of hunger and kept crying out in hunger.

There was really no other way, so the village chief asked people to stop in front and told everyone to set up the pots and cook so that they could continue their journey after eating. They tried to reach the next town before dark to avoid spending the night in the deserted mountains.

Before going out, Wen Meijiu put seven days' worth of food in the car, including rice, millet, cornmeal, flour, etc., plus the pickled meat, pickles, and pancakes prepared by his mother. Even if there were two more people, food would not be a problem.

Dad hadn't woken up yet, so he asked Mom and Jinxiang to cook first, and went to find the village chief to warm the wine.

It was daytime in the wilderness, so they were not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards. But they were afraid that the victims in front and behind them were starving and would come to snatch the food when they smelled the delicious food.

The village chief also agreed with Wen Meijiu's opinion. After discussing with several uncles in the village, everyone decided to follow Wen Meijiu's approach.

Organize all the young and strong men to patrol the side facing the main road to avoid accidents.

Seeing that Dazhu was called to patrol, Lanling, who had nothing to do, circled around his mother, shouting that he was starving to death.

In order to prevent him from annoying his mother, Wen Meijiu pulled her to the rear of the carriage, pulled out a small backpack from under a pile of luggage, and lifted the blue cloth covering it.

Lanling was immediately happy when he saw the puppy inside.

"Sister, you are so nice. You even brought the dog with you!"

Pointing his finger at Lan Ling's little head, Wen Meijiu knew that he would like it, and said casually:

"Take it and play with it, and don't bother your mother anymore."

"Yeah." Lanling nodded repeatedly.

He picked up one of the furry ones, put it on the ground, kicked it lightly and said, "Go, go quickly."

In fact, these two were not puppies, but two wolf cubs. Wen Meijiu knew it clearly the night he brought them home.

The reason she didn't say anything was because she was afraid that her family would be scared.

In her previous life, Wen Meijiu had experience in training wolfhounds, and she believed that the trained wolf cubs could be used by me when they grew up.

The wolf cub was less than a month old and its teeth had not yet grown, so it was not dangerous to children. Wen Meijiu let Lanling play as long as he didn't make any noise.

She got up to help her mother cook, and also checked to see if her father had woken up.

This is a barren slope. Not far away there is a forest. The leaves of the trees had been taken away by someone before they had even grown fully, leaving only bare branches swaying in the air.

The sun was scorching and everyone was exhausted. Most people gathered outside the woods to rest and cook.

Wen Meijiu's family had a carriage, and his father was in the carriage, so it was not convenient to drive the carriage inside. His mother started a fire not far from the carriage.

"Hey, Dad, are you awake?"

When Wen Meijiu came back, Dad was already lying in the car, staring blankly at Mom who was cooking.

After she called out like that, Niang and Jinxiang both put down their work and gathered around.

"Where is Prince Wang?"

In fact, Dad knew what happened when he woke up. He asked this now because he was really a little angry.

Mother was afraid that father would blame Wen Meijiu, so she quickly pushed her aside and said:

"Good wine, you go cook."

With her mother around, Wen Meijiu didn't worry that her father would blame her, and she behaved very well and went to cook.

"Woo woo woo... compensate me for my dog, compensate me for my dog ​​now!"

There was the sound of a child crying and making noise not far away, and Wen Meijiu immediately recognized it as Lanling's voice.

"It's just a dog. Is it necessary for you to be like this?" It was the voice of another child, with disdain in his voice.

Oh no, could it be that the wolf cub was killed by someone?

It’s no wonder Wen Meijiu thought too much. There were many kids similar to Lanling in the team. Besides, their family was poor before, so Lanling was bound to be bullied. What was the big deal about beating a dog from their family to death?
