Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

She didn't know how she got off the horse, how she got to the roadside, or how she pushed aside the bushes with trembling hands. When she saw the small, clueless figure in the bushes, she felt dizzy and almost suffocated, holding her chest.

It took a while before his vision gradually became clear. He lifted his somewhat weak feet and jumped down. He crawled to Zhou Su's side. The first thing he did was to check his breath. Fortunately, he was still breathing.

His face was bruised and swollen and looked terrible. The clothes he was wearing were no longer the same as when they were separated. They were so dirty that it was hard to tell what they looked like. No one knew where they had been changed from. They were even more torn and had been torn into strips by the bushes.

Looking at the person lying in front of him, Zhou Guo thought for a moment that he was dreaming. He had walked so far and couldn't find the person, but he found him right here?

It seems that I found it by accident.

She bit the tip of her tongue and felt little pain. She pinched a piece of tender flesh on the inside of her thigh and it hurt so much that she burst into tears. The tears blurred her vision and something blocked her throat. Tears fell one by one. It was just like pinching herself, but why did it hurt so much? Even her heart ached.

After crying for a while, she wiped her tears, turned him over and checked him, and saw the puncture wound on his back. Although it was not deep, a lot of blood had flowed out, and that piece of clothing was stained red.

Zhou Guo was so distressed that he was crying. He didn't know how much this child had suffered. When he was at home, although he was not a rich young master, he was still spoiled by everyone in the family. Now that he came out, he was covered with wounds here and there.

She took out the golden wound medicine from her bag, cut off the piece of clothes on his back, and sprinkled some medicine on it. This medicine was bought in Yunli County before. Yunli Yunli, who gave this crappy name? It's really unlucky!

……

The sun had already set. Zhou Guo carefully picked up Zhou Su and led the horse forward step by step.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, feeling warm. She looked at the golden light all over the mountains, and it was so similar to the glow of the sunset when she first went to find him.

Not far behind, some little brats poked their heads out secretly, "What should we do? Zhou Su has been taken away by him. Should we chase him?"

"Catch him? We can't beat him. I don't think that man is a bad person. He definitely won't eat people. I don't think it's a bad thing for Zhou Su to be taken away by him. That man has a horse. He must be a small landlord. His family must have plenty of money and food. It's a good thing for Zhou Su to follow him. He won't have to go hungry anymore."

"...But doesn't Zhou Su still want to find his family? He wants to go north all the time. Now that he's been taken away, he won't be able to find his family?"

The others sighed and said nothing. In this world, where can a lost person go to find his family? Maybe Zhou Su was lost by his family just like them. What's the point of going back to such a family? It would be better to follow a rich man. Even being a slave is much better than living like this.

……

Zhou Guo took quick and steady steps, almost jogging, and thought to himself: My uncle would be very happy if he saw me find Xiao Su.

She was eager to go home at the moment, when she suddenly heard a faint voice "sister".

Looking down, she saw that the little guy had opened his eyes and stared at her blankly. He stretched out a hand and touched her face. After a long while, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's great, sister, I saw you in my dream again, but this time you finally let me touch you!"

She said this with a pouting look on her face.

She is just four years old. In her previous life, she was still in kindergarten at the age of four.

She didn't stop, but continued walking with him in her arms, coaxing him with a smile: "You are not dreaming, it is your sister who found you and will take you home now."

"Go home?" Zhou Su was stunned and said aggrievedly: "I couldn't find my home in my dream. I went back to our previous home, but there was no one at home. I searched for a long time, but the yard was empty and no one in the village was there."

Zhou Guo listened and thought that the little guy had grown up and matured a lot after this experience, and his words were a bit like an adult. Before, sometimes the sentences were too long and had to be split into two sentences, and the logic was not very clear. He sighed in his heart, thinking that children's growth does come at a price, but this price is a bit too high.

She pinched the tip of his ear, "Does it hurt? You don't feel pain in a dream."

Zhou Su was stunned, he touched his ear, and tentatively pinched it, but felt nothing. He pinched it hard again and was stunned!

He stared at Zhou Guo blankly without saying anything.

Zhou Guo didn't hear him talking. He looked down and saw him staring at him blankly without even blinking. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling slightly, he would have wondered what was wrong with this man.

"What's wrong? Still don't believe it? Am I pinching you?"

The little guy was still silent.

She had no choice. It was getting dark, and she had to hurry to find her uncle, otherwise he would be worried.

Zhou Da Cang looked at her carrying a person back, but he didn't take it seriously. This girl just loves to do these things. There are two children at home. He smiled and said, "You're back? I said you couldn't find the place, but you didn't let me pick it up, and you found it yourself..."

The rest of the words were swallowed in his throat because he saw the child's face turning around. Who else could it be but Zhou Suli?

Although his face was bruised and swollen, he would recognize it even if it turned into charcoal.

Zhou Dacang almost rolled and crawled forward. When he saw that the little guy had no good clothes on, he stretched out his hands to hug him but didn't know where to start. He said with trembling lips: "Xiao Su, you are finally back? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you in pain? It's okay. Now you are home. There is nothing to be afraid of. We are home. Are you hungry? Don't worry. My uncle has pheasant and mushroom soup in the pot. It is the best. I will serve you a bowl. Just wait."

Zhou Guo put the man down next to the fire, found a piece of his own clothes and put it on him, looked at the wound on his face, washed it, and applied medicine on him.

During this time, the little guy just sat there in silence.

Zhou Dacang didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was not used to it yet.

Zhou Guo frowned. The little guy hadn't said a word since his ears were pinched. It would not be good to suppress his emotions all the time.

During the meal, Zhou Guo filled his bowl with chicken soup, mostly chicken, squatted in front of him, handed the bowl to his mouth, and said softly: "Eat quickly, drink a few sips of soup to warm yourself up first, and then eat the meat. This bowl of meat is all yours, and the meat in the pot is also yours. I'll keep it all for you."

Zhou Dacang took out the cake and placed it in front of him. "This cake is delicious when eaten with soaking water. Your sister eats seven or eight cakes in one meal."

Zhou Su took a sip mechanically.

Then he drank the bowl of chicken and mushroom soup in one breath. Zhou Guo handed him the bowl and asked him to hold it while eating the chicken.

The little guy took it subconsciously, grabbed the meat and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, stuffing his cheeks so full that they were bulging.
