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

Two gray wolves jumped over the low courtyard wall and stared at the main room with cold eyes.

"What should I do? What should I do? The wolf is coming!"

"Old man, are we going to die?"

"Shh, be quiet!"

The people hiding in the main room were trembling with fear.

The wolf's hair, the saliva dripping from its mouth, and even the fishy smell of its breath are terrifying.

Grandma Xiang clasped her hands together, knelt on the kang, and muttered to herself.

Grandpa Xiang's hands, which were holding the pipe, turned pale, and he stared blankly at the wooden door.

Mrs. Wu was trembling while holding the basket. Perhaps because she saw Lin Shu looking at her, she forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Mom, you can at least get a stool in your hand. It's better than a basket!" Lin Shu joked while playing with an iron stick.

"It seems so!"

Wu secretly took a small stool in her hand. If it wasn't a critical moment, Lin Shu would have been amused by her posture.

...

"Stab~stab~"

There was a scratching sound outside the door, and a pair of wolf claws reached in.

"哐~"

Lin Shu quickly smashed down with a stick, and a slight sound of bone cracking was heard in her ears.

"Ow~"

The wolf cried out in pain, which also aroused its ferocity.

After the two wolves met cunningly, they circled around the house, but the chickens raised in the backyard suffered.

"Slightly ~ slightly ~"

The flapping and screaming of the chickens made the people hiding in the house even more frightened.

How can two skinny chickens feed two hungry wolves?

Smelling the smell of blood getting closer, Lin Erzhuang and Lin Hongyi took out their axes and stood guard at the window, one on the left and one on the right.

Lin Shu and her two siblings were guarding the door to the main hall, ready to smash things as soon as the wolf stretched out its claws.

With the concerted efforts of the five people, the two wolves that dared to show up were beaten to death with sticks.

At noon, a wolf that had successfully stolen chickens from the village was scared away by the series of knocking sounds.

After counting, it was found that only Lin Erzhuang killed two wolves.

While the villagers were still frightened, they set their sights on the meat of the two wolves.

"My chickens were eaten by wolves, and a wolf became my home."

"Pah, your chickens were eaten and my pigs were bitten to death.

The compensation should be to my family, and both wolves should belong to me."

"We stayed at Aunt Xiang's house, and the only two chickens she had were eaten.

I killed these two wolves, so I will decide who should be compensated."

Lin Erzhuang glanced at the villagers calmly and said decisively.

"I don't want to hear anyone bullying Aunt Xiang's family. Although Lin Erzhuang doesn't have much ability, he still understands the principle of repaying kindness."

For Lin Erzhuang, there is nothing left to be nostalgic about in Linjia Village.

Before leaving, he took out five taels of silver and gave them to the two old men, whispering.

"Uncle Xiang, this year's harvest is not good, so store more food."

"You paid for this money with your life, Uncle Xiang can't take it.

Those two wolves are enough. You should leave quickly to prevent the villagers from talking about you again.

We are old, we can live as long as we want, don’t worry about us.” Uncle Xiang refused.

"Uncle Xiang, if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your grandson!"

Lin Erzhuang pushed the silver and money over, stood up and left in a hurry with his family.

Of course, I wouldn’t forget the two tents before leaving.

This will be their home for a long time to come.

...

Wujia Village.

"You are so good, Lin Erzhuang, you still know that you have a family!"

As soon as Wu Yidao saw the person coming in, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Father-in-law, please calm down. I am willing to accept any punishment you may have!"

When Lin Erzhuang saw his father-in-law's majestic appearance, he immediately turned into a quail.

He deliberately raised his injured arm and put on a smile in an attempt to please.

"Get lost, look at your worthless behavior. When did you become so shameless?"

Wu Yidao was now very angry but had no place to vent it. In the past, this son-in-law was so angry that he could not even do anything.

I don’t know who he learned this from, Wu Yidao glanced at his granddaughter.

The little guy covered his mouth and laughed secretly, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

"Come inside!"

Wu Yidao growled and took Lin Shu to sit in the upper seat.

"I meet my father-in-law. I hope you can forgive me for my previous stupidity!"

As soon as Lin Erzhuang entered the room, he knelt down and admitted his mistake. His attitude was even more sincere than when he proposed to her.

Wu Yidao's eyes warmed up, and all the resentment and anger in his heart disappeared.

“Get up!

I know it's not been easy for you these years, just live a good life with Layue from now on.

Tell me what's been going on with you lately!"

"Thank you, father-in-law, for giving me a chance to make amends. This is what happened..."

Lin Erzhuang, who was expelled from the clan, no longer hid anything when facing his father-in-law.

She told him what she saw in her dream, and tears rolled down her cheeks when she talked about the sad parts.

Who says a man won’t shed tears easily? It’s because he hasn’t reached the point of sadness.

Wu Yidao looked at the little kid beside him with red eyes. Who would have thought that this child had experienced so much hardship at such a young age.

Even adults cannot protect their father with their own lives, but a kind and pure child can fearlessly protect his father and sacrifice his own life.

"Shu'er, you can't be so stupid, understand?" Wu Yidao said with concern.

"As the saying goes, when a child is hurt, his parents feel the pain, and grandpa will feel the pain too."

"Grandpa, some things can't be taken seriously, we have to think positively.

My brothers and I brought back two tents, and we gave the biggest one to grandpa.

We have a place to stay wherever we go, and we don’t have to worry about sleeping in the wild.

Isn't this good? Just treat it as a group outing." Lin Shu said with a big smile.

"Okay, what our sister said makes sense.

Grandpa is old and it’s time for him to go out for a walk. It seems that it is not bad to rest wherever you go." Wu Yidao agreed.

“Just tell me what you want, and your grandpa and your dad will do their best to satisfy you.

Go play with your brother and cousins. It is more important to take good care of your little body."

"okay!"

Lin Shu agreed readily. It was certainly a good thing to have an adult take action.

Lin Shu thought about it and told Lin Erzhuang what she was going to buy, and she also did not forget about the modification of the cart.

...

The Wu family took the opportunity to go from house to house to buy pigs and quietly brought back various important supplies.

After Lin Erzhuang was injured, he took Lin Shu around to do shopping. When he saw those banknotes, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

Lin Erzhuang thought that he had done a great deed by earning back thirty taels of silver at the cost of his blood.

"Shu'er, Daddy doesn't ask where your money comes from.

Remember not to put yourself in danger. It is not worth losing your life for material things."

Lin Erzhuang knew about the money missing in the village, but he would not tell anyone.

With this money, the father and son no longer have to be stingy when buying things.

Lin Shu put away all the food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, cloth, shoes, socks, bedding, farm tools, medicines, tools, pots, pans, jars, vats and baskets.

In order to conceal their tracks, they would still bring a small amount home.

Especially cloth, shoes, socks, sheepskin and other things that need to be made in the open market, all of them had to be made by Wu.

"Dad Lin, what we lack most now are meat, eggs, and vegetables."

Lin Shu silently counted the recent collections and whispered.

"Dad Lin, what do mutton and beef taste like? Are they delicious?"

Lin Erzhuang's nose felt sore, although he didn't know what the smell was.

But now everything in the house was brought by Shuer, and we can’t let the child suffer no matter what.

Lin Erzhuang weighed the backpack and shamelessly lived in Yue's house for these days.

After being well fed and drinking, and living a peaceful life, the child gradually grew stronger.

But when he went in and out, he still liked to carry his daughter in a backpack.

Lin Erzhuang only feels at ease when he keeps his daughter by his side.

Whenever Lin Erzhuang thought of his daughter's ferocity in killing the wolf, his heart ached like a knife.
