Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

When Ma Da and Ma Er were coming back from the mountain after chopping firewood, they happened to meet the girl who had run back.

The girl stood outside the gate of Kaoshan Village, begging the gatekeeper to open the door for her.

"I beg you two, please open the door! I am a weak woman with no money or food. How can I survive on my own?..."

Ma Er and his people were not in the village and had no idea what had just happened.

"What's wrong? Why did you come out? Are you going home? Even if you want to go home, you have to find a few people to take you back! Otherwise, how can you, a woman, go back?" Ma Er walked to the girl with a large bundle of firewood on his back and asked carefully.

The girl seemed to have seen a life-saving straw.

Seeing Ma Er coming, she rushed over and said, "Brother Ma Er, you are finally back. The villagers wanted to drive me away, but you also know where a weak woman like me can go?

Brother Ma, you must help me!! Woo woo......"

Everyone was confused by what he said, including Ma Er.

"Da Liuzi, open the door first. If you have anything to say, come in!" Ma Da saw that a group of people could not just gather at the door. Not only did they carry firewood on their backs, they also found several pheasants and rabbits in the traps they had set before. They wanted to take them home quickly to satisfy their children's cravings!

It’s not right to keep gathering at the door!

The gatekeeper was afraid that the people outside didn't know the situation, so he opened the door and let the girl back in. So he had to explain to them first!

"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, you don't know......"

After hearing the gatekeeper's description, everyone looked at the girl with surprise.

The girl was still crying and shaking her head.

“I, I don’t want to take advantage of you, I really have nowhere else to go, so I want to stay in Kaoshan Village.

And I didn’t push the child. It was the wolfhound that jumped on the child. It had nothing to do with me. Really, you have to believe me…”

No one believed the girl's explanation.

Even if he was really homeless, that's why he insisted on staying in Kaoshan Village and refused to leave.

When faced with danger, no one would push a child out to be used as a shield.

But when she said that Roaring Sky Dog knocked over the small table, they didn't believe it.

Although Xiaotian Dog is a wolf and looks very scary, he grew up in the village and sometimes is no different from a domestic dog.

Kids like Xiaozhuo and his gang often play with Roaring Sky Dog, and no one has ever heard of it hurting anyone!

How could he suddenly change his temper and pounce on a child he usually plays with?

Among these people, except Ma Er, everyone else looked down on the girl.

Ma Er didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt that everyone was pushing this girl too hard, and that a weak woman was kicked out just like that.

As for the matter of pushing others out as shields when facing danger, he thought that the girl was just too scared at the time and was just careless.

Anyway, in Ma Er's eyes, this girl is not that bad.

"She looks so delicate, but I didn't expect her to have such a dark heart. Let's go and ignore her!!"

"Okay, Da Liu, open the door. Don't worry, we are here. There is no way this black-hearted person will follow you in!"

The gatekeeper suggested that after everyone knew the situation, they should make sure not to let the girl in, so he ran down the platform and helped everyone open the door.

Faced with the girl's pleading, although Ma Er felt a little bit reluctant, he could not stand against the villagers, so he could only shake off the girl and follow everyone in.

But he did not completely ignore it. When he went back, everyone at home was talking about that girl, and he always felt a little bit reluctant.

So while everyone was happily discussing the game caught in the trap today.

He secretly ran back to the room, took a piece of cloth, a water bag, and found 25 cents of private money from the wall, and put them all in the cloth bag.

He hid the cloth bag behind him, came out of the room, and followed the wall to the kitchen.

I put all the seven or eight black-flour steamed buns left over from the morning into the cloth bag.

He filled the water bag with water again, took the package and left the kitchen, then quietly ran outside.

This whole scene was seen by the youngest daughter of the Ma family.

She gently tugged at Ma Dajia's ear, whispered in her ear, and told her what happened.

Ma Da took a look at her sister-in-law who was still unaware of the situation, sighed, said nothing, and asked her daughter not to tell anyone.

Anyway, everyone has been driven away, so if Ma Er wants to give something, it will only be this time.

Now that Ma Er's family knows about this, there will probably be a rift between the two of them. It would be better for them to pretend they don't know. Once the girl disappears completely, this matter will be over.

When Ma Er came out with the package, the girl was still standing at the door and had not left.

So Ma Er secretly asked Da Liu to help open the door, stuffed the things into the girl's hands, closed the door again, and ran back home.

Da Liu looked at Ma Er leaving and felt a little regretful about the package.

He just didn't understand. Why did he care about such a vicious woman?

Could it be that there is something fishy going on between the two of them?

I shuddered as I thought about it.

"Brother Ma Er is not that kind of person, so don't let your imagination run wild..."

After shaking his head, he continued to climb up the platform and guarded the door carefully.

At night, bursts of crying were heard outside the gate of Kaoshan Village, and the sound was particularly miserable.

The gatekeeper shuddered all over.

They remembered Xia Shengsheng's instructions clearly and decided not to let that girl in again no matter what.

So I could only pretend not to hear it.

The wind at night is so cold that even if you wear a cotton jacket and cotton pants, it is unbearable to sit in one place all the time.

The girl sat at the gate of the village and cried for a long time, but no one came out.

He rubbed his frozen hands and spat a few times towards the gate of Kaoshan Village.

Then pick up the package on the ground and leave.

The village where she lived was on the other side of the mountain. If she didn't go through the mountain, it would probably take two days to get there by taking the normal road.

But if she doesn't go back, where can she go?

We were delayed for a whole day and it was so cold at night. If we just lay there to rest, we would be frozen to death.

It’s better to just walk on the road, at least your body can be warm.

Just like that, she finally left Kaoshan Village reluctantly.

As for the package in her hand, it actually contained a lot of food and water, enough for her to sustain for a few days.

But she felt that the 25 cents in it was too little. She thought to herself that Ma Er was not giving the money to a beggar. This amount of money was not even enough to buy two kilograms of flour.

It's true that the better off a person is, the more stingy he is.

At this time, Ma Er, who was being criticized, was still unaware and still felt that he had done a good thing.
