Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

"Where did you find these sugar canes? Or did you grow them?"

Li Lanzhen was so happy that she grabbed the little boy's arm with both hands, but she forgot that she was very strong.

When she saw the little boy frowning and bending his arm, she realized that she had used too much force.

She quickly rubbed the child's arm and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so happy. Did I hurt you?

Come, Auntie will treat you to some steamed bread."

As he spoke, he took out four black steamed buns from the basket on his back, which was actually from the space.

Each of them was given two and said with a smile.

"You two can eat, and tell your aunt when you're done. There's no rush."

The little boy hesitated for a moment and looked at his sister who was leaning on his legs. He thought that his sister had not had any proper food for more than ten days.

Looking at my sister who had already put her fingers into her mouth and was sucking them, I took the steamed bun and handed it to her.

"Sister, please eat. Thank you, auntie.

My girl's cat-like voice said, "Thank you."

The two children looked very hungry, but they did not eat voraciously.

He was biting the steamed bun with one hand, and catching the fallen crumbs with the other hand.

The boy ate one and wrapped the other one in a big leaf and put it in his pocket.

Then he looked up and said to Li Lanzhen.

"Aunt, I didn't plant the sedge grass. I found it growing in a patch in the ravine over there.

My sister and I were so hungry that we plucked a few thin stalks and cut them off, then put them in our mouths to chew. We found that they were sweet, so we ate them often. "

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed down the mountain.

"Okay, Auntie, I understand. Can you take me over to have a look?

Oh, these sugar canes, yes, this is the intestinal grass, which can be exchanged for food."

The boy became happy when he heard that he could exchange it for food.

Seeing the little girl stumbling along, Li Lanzhen picked her up and put her in a basket and carried her on her back.

Follow the little boy towards the back of the mountain.

As the two walked and chatted, Li Lanzhen realized that the brother and sister originally had a happy family.

Their father is an expert in fishing and his family also has a fishing boat.

The fish caught every day would be sold in the village, or cleaned and dried into dried seafood.

But one day, their father went out to sea to fish with the village fleet and never came back.

At that time, her mother was pregnant with her younger sister. After hearing the bad news, her mother gave birth to her younger sister prematurely and died three days later.

From then on, only the boy and his sister were left.

The boy first sold his fishing boat, and then used the food in his home, holding his three-day-old sister, to eat food from all over the village.

A few aunts who had breast milk gave his younger sister a few bites.

But every family lived in poverty and had no extra food for the women who had just given birth.

So they had very little milk, and the younger sister ate more of the slightly thicker fish soup.

Later, my sister was able to eat food, but there was not much food left at home.

Because there were only two of them, they spent some food to bury their parents.

In order to give his younger sister some milk, he also used the food in his home to exchange for milk.

All the dried seafood in the house was given to the village chief to sell, and very little food was bought.

We have been living off our savings and now our lives are becoming increasingly difficult.

Fortunately, the people in the village are nice and every family can help these two poor children.

When Li Lanzhen heard the child's story, her heart ached again.

It was as if I was back on the road fleeing famine and met those homeless children with such miserable looks.

"Don't you have any relatives here? No grandma, uncles, aunts or cousins?"

The boy shook his head. "No, my grandparents are all dead. I only have my dad. My mom was picked up by my dad. I don't have any family."

Looking at the depressed boy, Li Lanzhen walked a few steps in silence. She didn't know what to do.

I want to take these two children to Taohuayuan, but I don’t know whether they are willing to leave their hometown because their own parents are still buried here.

So she didn't say anything.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Li Lanzhen finally saw a sugarcane forest.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to call this a sugarcane forest. There are only a dozen or twenty sugarcane trees.

Moreover, the sugarcane plants did not grow well, leaning to one side and the stalks were very thin and not very tall.

However, this is not a problem. As long as there is sugarcane, Li Lanzhen will put them all into the space, let the space improve the sugarcane variety, and then plant them in the Taohuayuan Grand Canyon.

If it can grow well, it can be planted in large areas on the mountain.

This way she could start the great task of making sugar.

The boy looked at Li Lanzhen and stroked the colon grasses one by one with his hands.

I just thought that this aunt was so pitiful, as she had never eaten the intestinal grass that could be chewed to produce sweet water.

"Aunt, this can be planted. There is only this little bit here originally."

He gestured with his hands, "Then it was me who cut the sedge into pieces and buried them in the soil, and then it kept growing."

Li Lanzhen turned her head and looked at the boy with starry eyes.

She found that the child was a smart one.

"You have this ability? How do you know that it can grow after being planted?"

"I watched the uncles and aunts in the village growing vegetables, and I wondered if I could make them grow more."

"Okay, I need to dig a few and plant them back home, okay?

I can exchange it for food."

The boy nodded vigorously.

“Sure, auntie, you can dig as much as you want.

I will cut the sedge into pieces and bury them in the soil in a couple of days. When the weather warms up and it rains, they will sprout and grow."

Then he ran to a piece of sugarcane and pointed at it and told Li Lanzhen.

"Aunt, when you cut the grass, you must pay attention to leaving the knot between the two poles. When the buds sprout, they will come from here. You can't cut it off, otherwise there will be no place for the buds to sprout."

Li Lanzhen stroked his head and laughed, what a clever child he was, he actually discovered this trick.

Li Lanzhen was a little hungry as she had not eaten breakfast, so she carried the little girl out, stood her up, took out a straw mat from the backpack, spread it on the ground, and then took out a few white flour buns and a water bag.

"Come, let's sit down and eat something."

The boy waved his hands, "No, Auntie, we just had steamed bread, you can eat it, we are not hungry."

Li Lanzhen clearly saw the boy swallowing his saliva continuously.

The little girl kept her eyes on the steamed buns.

"Come on, just consider it as a favor for your aunt. These will go bad if you don't finish them."

The boy then sat down with his sister in his arms. Li Lanzhen gave each of them a white flour bun and took one for herself to eat.

"Since you have no relatives here, are you willing to follow your aunt?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Lanzhen said this, the boy became alert and immediately hugged his sister in his arms, staring at her with a bad look.

Li Lanzhen felt that he was looking at her as if she were Grandma Wolf, and smiled slightly.

“Kid, you don’t have to be so alert, I’m a good person, not a kidnapper.

I have several grandchildren your age in my family.

But my home is far away, in Youzhou City. To get to Youzhou City from here, I need to take a carriage and a big ship. "

As Li Lanzhen was telling the story, the boy slowly relaxed his guard and asked her with his head tilted.

"Then why did you come here?"

Li Lanzhen said, "I brought my grandson to see my son, who is a young general in the Southwest Border Defense Battalion."

The little boy immediately looked at her in admiration.

"I know, I know. The village chief said that the generals of the Southwest Border Defense Camp were very powerful. They were the ones who drove the barbarians away."

"Then are you willing to come with me? There are many children like you in the village where we live.

It was my aunt’s family who met these children and brought them there to live.”

The boy did not agree to her immediately, but thought about it and said.

"Aunt, can I tell the village chief about this?"

"Okay, tell him and see what he thinks.

But it's mainly up to you, if you're willing to go with me you can."

The boy glanced at his little sister nestled in his arms.

He raised his head, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Okay, I'll go ask the village chief after I get down the mountain.

Aunt, if my sister and I go with you, you can take all these knotweeds and consider them as gifts from me and my sister."

He knew that Li Lanzhen liked these very much, so he wanted to give them to Li Lanzhen, which might be good for himself and his sister.

Li Lanzhen seemed to see through his little thoughts and knew that the boy was probably willing to go with her.
