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

When the group passed through the village, they all consciously kept their mouths shut and made no sound.

Everyone stood at the gate of the villa, their mouths opened in surprise in the light of the torches.

"Wow, what a beautiful big house."

"Big house. We have a big house to live in."

……

The children were so happy that they forgot all their sleepiness and ran into the yard chattering, not caring whether they could be seen or not.

Lin Shu shook her head secretly, pretended to rush into the yard happily, and put out the furniture in the main room.

Then he went to the kitchen and took out pots, pans, some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, grain, dried vegetables and bacon.

She kept the pumpkin for seeds. There were too few vegetables in the space, so she would have to work harder if she wanted to eat rich dishes.

The water tanks and firewood that had been collected were also put out, and she felt that all her work was in vain.

After restoring some things to their original state, Lin Shu took Baozi to a room, closed the door, and no longer cared about the wind and rain outside.

A man and a dog flashed into the space, took a nice bath, had a nice meal, and then lay down in the bamboo house.

He lay sprawled on the bamboo floor, and soon began to snore tiredly.

In order to destroy the evidence, Lin Erzhuang and Wu Yidao dragged the body out of the house overnight and washed it with water.

The bloody smell in the room had faded a lot, and after using some dry grass to fumigate the room, the doors and windows were opened wide to disperse the smell.

Perhaps it was because they had a temporarily stable residence and the father-in-law and son-in-law had a common secret that they could not sleep for a while.

The two of them sat under the corridor, enjoying the cool night breeze.

"Erzhuang, what are your plans for the future?" Wu Yidao said, looking at the dark night sky.

If he really had to make a choice, this would be a good place to live.

The second courtyard is spacious and bright, with a well in the middle.

If I had a few dozen acres of land, life would be even better.

"Dad, I want to take the children to a place where there will never be famine and war." Lin Erzhuang said longingly.

"Who doesn't want to go to such a good place, but it doesn't exist in the world." Wu Yidao said with a wry smile.

"If not, then make one with your own hands." Lin Erzhuang said firmly.

"If you have ambitions, Dad will be with you."

Wu Yidao nodded in agreement and couldn't help but think of his lost children and grandchildren.

"Oh, I wonder where they are!"

"Good things will happen to good people. My uncles will be fine."

A gust of wind blew by, Lin Erzhuang shivered and stood up.

"Dad, it's getting cold late at night, go back to your room and get some rest.

I will go down the mountain tomorrow to gather information and I will definitely be able to find the person back."

"Okay, you should rest early too."

Wu Yidao stood up with a hunched back, and felt that as soon as he relaxed, he had no strength left.

With the light of a tinder, I went to the boy's room to rest.

...

'Pip~li~ba~la~'

Lin Shu, who had a good sleep, heard bursts of crackling sounds in the space.

Surprised, I immediately slipped out of the space, and a dampness blew in my face from the window.

"It's raining."

She shook the bun off her legs and ran to the window to take a look.

The rain and fog were hazy, and water was roaring under the eaves.

The ground was splashing with water and the rain was about to flood into the yard.

In the rain and fog, several people were wearing straw hats and collecting rain water to wash clothes.

His sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up high, and his clothes were already soaked.

'Hu~'

The strong wind blew violently, the cold air hit me in the face, and goose bumps appeared all over my body.

"It's so cold!"

Lin Shu quickly closed the window and took out a set of long-sleeved clothes from the space and put them on.

Still feeling cold, he put on a patched jacket to feel better, shaking his head.

"Every autumn rain brings a chill!"

In the blink of an eye, it is November and the temperature has not dropped.

Thinking about those little guys who don’t even have a change of clothes.

I had no choice but to take out a pile of old clothes that I had looted from the space and throw them into the room at random.

The rest of the work, of course, fell to the sisters Wu and Chuntao.

It would be better for her to fight with someone than to ask her to pay for the needle.

Lin Shu glanced at the time in the space and it was already past noon.

He quickly took out the bun, and the man and the dog slipped out of the room along the wall.

My goodness, everyone, big and small, is busy collecting the rain water.

Either I am busy washing clothes or taking a hot bath.

Seeing how happy they were, Lin Shu could only sigh in despair.

Expressed no interest in participating.

But Baozi is interested!

He plunged into the rain and ran wildly, shaking his head, wagging his tail and jumping non-stop.

"Hahaha, Baozi, come here."

"Baozi, this way!"

The kids cheered and shouted, but their joy was drowned out by the sound of the heavy rain.

The villa in the rain and fog is a world of its own, as if isolated from the world.

Carrying the children's laughter and the adults' rare leisure time, everything seems so peaceful and warm.

...

The sudden rainstorm forced the group to stay here, and Lin Erzhuang's plan to go down the mountain to look for people was interrupted.

There is no need to worry about food and shelter, but the little ones are clamoring to find their parents, which is giving people a headache.

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to coax the kids into changing their clothes.

It was only under Lin Shu's coercion and inducement that he gradually calmed down.

The weather changes so quickly that you can wear a coat one day, but you have to wear a padded jacket the next day.

In order to make a batch of winter clothes, Mrs. Wu had to take apart two quilts to make cotton-padded clothes.

With the help of three little girls, Wu Chuntao, Wu Chunxiang and Wu Chunya, the process became much faster.

After five days of heavy rain, everyone was wearing thin cotton clothes.

But the heavy rain continued, and the accumulated water in the yard had already overflowed the stone steps, and soon it was threatening to flood Jinshan Mountain.

...

"The water has flooded the village at the foot of the mountain. Someone will be coming here soon." Lin Erzhuang said as he walked into the house, all wet.

"Is there anyone else in the village?" Wu asked doubtfully.

Lin Erzhuang glanced at her and didn't answer the question immediately.

"Mom, I saw smoke yesterday." Lin Hongqing continued.

"What if those people come to our place?"

"Come if you want, we have such a spacious place, so why worry that there won't be enough room for you?

Besides, this is not our territory, why can't we let others live here?" Mrs. Wu said lightly while sewing clothes.

"..."

"..."

The room was silent, and everyone rolled their eyes upward.

"Mom, there's a vacant spot in the temple." Lin Shu gritted her teeth.

"I'm not going to become a nun, so why should I go to the temple?" Wu said puzzledly.

"That's to let you become a Bodhisattva and do good deeds with all your heart." Wu Yidao said with a disappointed look on his face.

The girl was protected so well by the old couple that she has no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world.

It’s hard for my son-in-law and grandchildren.

"You have been fleeing famine for so long, don't you understand the hardships involved?

Have you forgotten what happened in Fucheng?

If I had known this earlier, I should have let you suffer a little more..."

Wu Yidao pointed at Wu and cursed her with spit flying, saying that if he didn't wake her up, she would harm her grandchildren.

"Father, I..."

Wu lowered her head and dared not say a word. She glanced at her children secretly, but none of them looked at her directly.

Even Baozi looked at Wu with disdain.

Lin Shu got up and went back to the room, slamming the door shut.

The people in the room got up and left one after another.

The only ones left were Wu and the little brats who were unaware of the truth.
