Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

Make a fire and cook porridge.

A group of people gathered around two large pots, roasting the fire, smelling the aroma of porridge, and slurping their saliva.

Everyone moved in unison, staring at the pot without moving.

The porridge contains all kinds of things, including beans, dark flour, sorghum, fried noodles, dried vegetables, and flour.

The dark yellow porridge becomes thicker and thicker as it is stirred constantly.

When a burnt smell starts to waft out, turn off the heat and scoop out the porridge.

Regardless of size, everyone gets half a bowl of thick porridge.

Liu reluctantly shared the porridge with the steamed buns, which had a burnt smell at the bottom of the pot.

These people knew how important Baozi was to the Lin family, so no one complained to their faces.

Besides, the Lin family provided half of the food, so why shouldn’t they give the buns to eat?

For this reason, Lin Shu was not satisfied with the burnt rice crust in the buns.

Her buns enjoy the same treatment as everyone else.

In order to let people know the importance of buns, Lin Shu added two handfuls of fried rice to the buns.

When they gathered grain to make porridge, none of these people took out rice, such a precious grain.

Everyone is selfish and always wants to keep the best for themselves or their family.

Lin Shu gave Baozi fried rice to eat, of course, out of her own selfish motives.

She doesn't mind taking away the bowl from anyone who dares to nag.

The four brothers particularly disliked eating from the same big pot, and they really thought that they didn't know that each of them was hiding some of their own food.

When I saw the sacks in their house, I couldn't walk.

...

"After dinner, each family should prepare some dry food to take with them.

If we stop to light the fire, it will be night time.” Lin Erzhuang said, looking around.

After drinking half a bowl of porridge, he was not even three-quarters full.

However, Lin Erzhuang never mentioned the matter of contributing his own dry food.

As the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty.

...

"Er Zhuang, don't you want to stay and wait for your brother and the others?" Uncle Wu San said as he grabbed a handful of snow to wipe the bowl.

"It snowed last night, so the road might be difficult to travel on.

With so many of us, walking is too slow and the children won’t be able to handle it.”

“Brother-in-law, your eldest uncle and two nephews haven’t come back yet.

You can't just abandon them, we have a house full of old, weak and sick people who depend on you." Liu said, wiping her tears.

"Hoo~Hoo~"

Lin Erzhuang took a few deep breaths. When did these people become his responsibility?

"My eldest brother-in-law and I have an appointment to meet in the next county town, which is too close to Lengzhou County.

Have you ever thought about what would happen if the northern barbarian soldiers broke through the county town?

That’s all I have to say. You can do whatever you want. I will not stay.”

Lin Erzhuang looked at Wu Yidao, hoping that he could come forward and explain who he was and who didn't want to leave.

The Northern Barbarians will never give up even if they are defeated.

Thinking of this, Lin Erzhuang wanted to leave immediately.

"Ms. Wu, pack up and leave."

A horse-drawn carriage was too slow to carry their entire family, let alone the four generations of Wang the blacksmith and his grandchildren.

He winked at Lin Shu and walked out on his own initiative.

"Dad, wherever you go, I want to go too."

Lin Shu followed happily with Baozi, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

The twins wanted to follow, but were stopped by Lin Hongyi, who shook his head and said nothing to them.

...

"Second brother, it will definitely take your elder brother a long time to find Chunxiang, we can't just ignore them!

All the strong men in my family are there, what shall we do in the future?” Liu cried.

“Sister-in-law, my brother-in-law is right, this place is too close to the county town.

If the northern barbarians really attack us, we won't have time to run away.

My child is lost, and as a father I am also very anxious and angry.

But I have three children to take care of, and I can’t sacrifice my entire family for just one child.”

Uncle Wu felt as if his heart was being fried in a frying pan, but he could only choose the majority.

As for the lost Chunxiang, we can only look for her along the way.

"It's not that the people in your family don't know the pain, their consciences have been eaten by dogs..."

Liu was furious and started cursing at Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu knew he was in the wrong and let her scold him without saying a word in return.

After one stick of incense, Liu cursed until her mouth was dry and she kept wiping away tears before she stopped.

"That's enough. You've cursed and quarreled enough. Just pack up and leave." Wu Yidao said with a dark face.

He looked at Liu with strange eyes, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

[She is simply a shrew. ]

"Oh, my poor Chunliu!

A bunch of heartless people, no one cares about you, how can I live!"

Wu Yidao's words suddenly touched a nerve in Liu.

He sat down on the firewood and began to cry in a rhythmical manner.

Everyone stared at her in amazement, as if they were meeting her for the first time.

Because, in their eyes, Liu has always been a gentle woman.

Although she is sometimes aggressive, she never throws a tantrum.

Besides, there are a lot of refugees now, and the northern barbarian soldiers may attack at any time.

Asking them where to find someone, isn't that putting them in a difficult position?

They can't abandon their own children for the sake of other people's children!

The hearts that were originally united began to slowly separate at this moment.

If Lin Shu heard these words, she could only say that there are weird things every year, but there are especially many this year.

They cut the crops one after another, and never give people a peaceful life.

...

"Girl, get a cart and two pairs of skis." Lin Erzhuang said flatteringly.

"Humph, you want to be a nice guy again.

With your slow pace, when will you be able to leave Cangzhou Prefecture?"

Lin Shu groaned a few times and said dissatisfiedly.

"Dad, when will we get to Yizhou Prefecture as you said?"

"Well, that Yizhou Prefecture is a bit far, several thousand miles away from here.

It will take half a year, maybe a year, I’m not sure.”

Lin Erzhuang avoided his gaze and did not dare to look his daughter in the eyes.

He had only heard that Yizhou Prefecture was good, but he never went there until his death.

It's like being blind.

"You are so capable. I have nothing to say."

Lin Shu was completely speechless. This father was so unreliable.

No, it’s not too late.

He threw out a cart and took out two pairs of skis.

She didn't believe that Father Lin would have no idea what was going on when he took out the skis.

Forget it, do whatever you want.

If you really encounter an attack from the Northern Barbarians, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Lin Shu took one look at the fat and strong Baozi and gave up the idea of ​​letting this guy take her away.

"Woof~Woo~"

Baozi spotted an ugly dog ​​entering the village and chased after it.

Lin Shu stretched out her hand to Erkang, but there was no time to call Baozi back.

I saw it pressing the ugly dog ​​into the snow and rubbing it. The poor ugly dog ​​lay on its belly, screaming miserably.

"Baozi, come back!"

Lin Shu felt too ashamed to face people, not to mention the foreign dogs bullying the local dogs.

The ugly dog ​​showed its belly in surrender, but this guy still wouldn't give in.

"Wang~"

Baozi came back triumphantly, with its head held high and looking for praise, which made Lin Shu reluctant to scold it.

Forget it, no one can understand the world of dogs.

It would be better for them to leave the village early, so that the dogs in the village would not suffer.

...

Blacksmith Wang took the cart and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He quickly spread the bedding on the cart, then went out to find some branches and built a simple shed for the cart.

Cover yourself with an old blanket, although it cannot completely block out the wind and snow.

But at least it can play a certain role in blocking the wind, and two bundles of firewood are fixed to the rear of the car.
