Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish
Chapter 201 Unspeakable Friendship
Mrs. Luo not only felt sorry for her daughter, but also for her husband. She carried Luo's mother, who had poor legs and feet, all the way. Sometimes when she saw her husband so tired that his face was red and his neck was thick, and his forehead was bruised and swollen, she felt so distressed.
She wanted to help the man share some of the burden so that he could take a breather, but he refused to do so.
Her husband usually only does calculations and accounting, and has never done any physical work. He gritted his teeth and carried his mother-in-law on his back all the way, relying on his filial piety to support him.
Every night when she went to bed, she saw the blisters on the man's shoulders from being rubbed by the carrying rack. The flesh on his shoulders was almost rotten, but he gritted his teeth and carried the load by himself, refusing to let her help.
She knows that the man loves her, but doesn't that mean she shouldn't love the man too?
Doctor Qiao told him that he should be careful, otherwise, he might develop a shoulder disease in the future which would be troublesome.
But her man just nodded in agreement and continued doing what he was doing. She was so anxious that she argued with him many times in secret and shed many tears, but it was all in vain.
Now, I have finally managed to get to this point, no matter how hard it is, I cannot give up. If I didn't die from the plague, would I be buried in this deserted mountain forest?
The man cares about three women the most, and he loves and cherishes the most, but he has gritted his teeth and held on until now before giving up. Isn't this like cutting out the flesh of his heart?
Mrs. Luo was so anxious that she cried, but she didn't cry loudly like Luo Qianqian did. Instead, she cried silently, shaking her body like Old Man Lin did before, in a restrained and forbearing manner.
Such repressed emotions made everyone around her feel her sadness.
No one said anything. They turned their heads and found a place to stay, sat down and took a good rest.
They didn't have the energy to persuade them because they had their own problems to deal with. Everyone was exhausted and as tired as Wangcai. How could they have the energy to care about other people's affairs?
The fact that we could stop and wait for a while was because of our friendship as we were traveling together.
You know, the reason why everyone didn't dare to stop to rest at noon, and had to grit their teeth and hold on even when they were exhausted, was because they were afraid of letting down the anger in their hearts.
Oh, this is such a steep mountain road.
If Doctor Qiao and Shopkeeper Luo hadn't calculated the distance based on their impressions of the state capital before they set out, they would have been able to enter the state capital in about three or four days, and once they were in the state capital, it would only take one or two days to get to the city. As long as they entered the city, everyone would be relieved.
For such a large provincial capital, it is impossible for the governor to allow serious problems to occur in the prefectures, counties, and towns under his jurisdiction. After all, they are all linked to his own political achievements.
To take a step back, even if all subordinate levels are in chaos, the provincial capital is under the supervision of the governor, so there is no way it can be in chaos.
Therefore, this is why they traveled thousands of miles and crossed mountains and rivers to go to the state capital in search of a chance of survival.
But traveling on mountain roads is much more tiring than traveling on official roads. Those who have never been there cannot understand how tiring it is. If they had not had two doctors and a female doctor among them, they would probably not have been able to climb over even two hills.
Everyone sat down to rest, and had no intention of paying attention to the minor conflicts among the Luo family. Instead of taking that time, they might as well catch their breath.
Lin Xiaoyue carefully put Old Man Lin down, moved him off the backpack, laid him on a flat surface nearby and straightened him out, keeping his body fixed and bound to the backpack. Old Man Lin couldn't stretch his legs and feet and felt uncomfortable.
Miao came over and whispered in Old Man Lin's ear whether he needed to relieve himself. If he did, she would call Niu Laogen and Lin Dashan to help take her man to a secluded place.
Old Man Lin waved his hand to his wife to indicate that it was not necessary. He had not drunk any water the whole morning and had only eaten dry food and dried meat without any moisture. He was also exposed to the scorching sun and was completely dried up. There was no need for him to relieve himself.
Instead, the hunter's young wife and Chun Xing came over and went to pick flowers with the sisters from the Lin family.
Well, after the acid rain, all the flowers became bald. Fortunately, after these two people heard Lin Xiaoyue use this word, they kept thinking about it and used it over and over again without thinking that the word was too rustic.
Speaking of this little wife, Lin Xiaoyue thought she was an interesting person.
She has willow eyebrows and red lips, she is delicate and soft, her body seems boneless, her eyes are full of charm, and she is so beautiful that it is almost impossible to take your eyes off her. No wonder she is held in the palm of the hunter's hand and pampered in all kinds of ways, like a protective eyeball.
On the road, the hunter would carry her on his back or hug her if possible, and he didn't care about the worldly eyes at all. In short, he doted on his little wife to death.
At first, Lin Xiaoyue avoided this kind of squeamish guy. However, she didn't expect that on the night of the bandit raid, the squeamish guy who should have screamed the loudest, when he saw the hunter's arm scratched by the bandit, not only did not scream, but gritted his teeth, raised the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed the bandit in the heart.
Also, when they were surrounded and attacked by wild dogs, most of the women in the family were protected in the middle, but she dared to take a short dagger, stand up first, and fight side by side with the people on the periphery.
Isn't she afraid?
No, after fighting off the wild dog, she huddled in the hunter's arms and almost shook herself to death, but looking at the ferocity with which she gritted her teeth and stabbed at the wild dog, it was clear that she was not just pretending.
Lin Xiaoyue doesn't like dodder, but she admires the hunter's little wife.
The other party seemed to like her very much as well. She would always use the excuse of picking flowers to bring Chun Xing along, and seemingly called several sisters from the Lin family, but Lin Xiaoyue did not miss the eager looks of her little wife several times.
how to say?
It was very similar to the pure look Chun Xing had when he looked at her, without any malice, just the kind of look that simply wanted to get close to you.
After a few times, Lin Xiaoyue was able to "respond to every request", and the women established a certain unspeakable friendship (I don't quite understand the men's experience of picking flowers, but women generally understand it, it's the kind of inexplicable friendship where they would drag each other to the WC after class).
Without giving Lin Xiaoyue a chance to refuse, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu and Lin Zhaodi pulled her up from the ground and asked her to go with them.
Since fleeing the famine, people seem to have let down their usual sense of propriety and shame.
For example, when it comes to going to the bathroom, people used to do it in their own toilet.
Nowadays, men just find a big rock or tree that is slightly away from people, stand there, and the problem is solved.
The women had no choice but to endure it and wait for the team to stop to rest, then they would take others with them and go to a distant place in groups of three or five to relieve themselves.
A few people twisted left and right, shuttling through this desolate area of mountains and hills, until they could no longer see the place for the group to rest. Only then did the women feel at ease to untie their belts and take care of their urgent needs.
Suddenly, the hunter's young wife let out a low cry of surprise, attracting everyone's attention. Lin Xiaoyue quickly got up and went to check.
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue leading the way, the little wife immediately approached her and pointed to the yellowed and withered bushes on one side and said, "There is a cliff behind that. I almost fell down without paying attention."
