I don’t know if the village chief did it on purpose today, but he walked for two hours without stopping to rest.
Two hours equals four hours. Everyone around me kept complaining: "Why don't you stop? I can't walk anymore."
"That's right! I haven't eaten anything all day and I can't even walk."
"Hey! When will it end?"
Zhang Chunxi sat on the ox cart, talking to Sun Mei, and from time to time he looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and laughed, which was as disgusting as it could be.
Zhao Qiaoniang murmured to Mulan, "They did this on purpose. They just don't want us to have an easy life!"
Mulan snorted coldly and said, "Luckily we ate enough today, otherwise we wouldn't even have the energy to walk."
Cui Ya nodded and said:
"Isn't it? The feeling of being full is good, isn't it just like walking?
I can walk all day without feeling tired, let’s continue up the mountain tonight…”
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the nearby mountains and said, "There are so many mountains here. Let's take a look when the time comes! We need to buy some good knives..."
A knife is the most practical item. The Lin family has a kitchen knife, but unfortunately they didn’t bring it out.
Cui Ya asked, "Where do we get the money?"
An ordinary kitchen knife costs 50 wen, but now a better kitchen knife costs 100 wen.
Master Bai said, "I have one here, you can make do with it..."
He pulled out a dagger from his backpack and was about to speak when he heard dozens of people rushing out from the nearby valley and shouting, "Take out all your food, quickly..."
This is encountering bandits. In years of disaster, the difficulties of survival forced many people to become bandits.
These bandits were probably ordinary people who hid in the mountains because they were hungry and had to rob people on the road in order to survive.
The village chief stammered, "You are robbing people on the road. Aren't you afraid that the government will punish you?"
The bandits laughed loudly and said:
"Government? In this year of famine, the government can barely protect itself, so how can they care about our poor and remote place?
Stop using the government to scare us. Send some people to take everything off the ox cart..."
The bandit leader slapped him on the head and said, "Have you ever robbed someone before? Just take the ox cart away."
Zhang Chunxi burst into tears, "No, you can't take my ox cart away. Wuuuuuuuu... This is my only possession."
Lin Wanwan was lying in the backpack. Zhao Qiaoniang had put many layers of clothes in the backpack, and she felt quite comfortable lying in it.
Now that she heard Zhang Chunxi's voice, she felt more at ease. Naitang also heard the noise and crawled out directly.
It squeaked several times and looked at Zhao Qiaoniang. Zhao Qiaoniang saw it waving its paw and immediately understood what it meant.
They were originally at the back of the team, and now no one noticed them. Naitang pointed directly to a tree hole on the side of the road.
Zhao Qiaoniang quickly put the bag on her body into the tree hole.
Master Bai said, "This mouse is quite intelligent."
Mulan and Cuiya quickly threw their bags into the tree hole, and then stood trembling on the roadside. The bandits quickly searched everyone's bags and said, "We are really poor. There is nothing good left."
They glanced at Zhao Qiaoniang and the others and said, "I've seen people who are poor, but I've never seen anyone this poor. Let's go!"
The villagers watched helplessly as the food they had worked so hard to save was looted by the bandits, and their hearts were broken.
Some of them could no longer hold back and burst into tears, their cries filled with endless pain and helplessness.
Some people rushed forward, hugged the bandit's legs tightly, and begged desperately:
"Please, leave us some food, even just a few bites, we have children!"
The bandits showed no mercy. They kicked the villagers on the shoulders and cursed them viciously: "Get away from me! Who do you think you are? How dare you block our way?"
The villagers were kicked to the ground, but they struggled to get up and wanted to continue fighting. However, they were frightened by the bandits' viciousness and could only watch their food being taken away.
The bandits came and left quickly, leaving only wailing in the village.
The villagers whose food was stolen sat slumped on the ground, looking desperately in the direction the bandits left, their eyes empty and helpless.
Sun Mei cried breathlessly:
"What should I do? All my belongings are gone, wuwuwu...
My clothes, my rouge and powder..."
Old Lady Lin said, "This is all caused by that evil star. If it weren't for that evil star, we wouldn't have encountered such a thing."
Sun Mei looked at Zhao Qiaoniang fiercely and said, "Yes, it was her fault. I think that evil star should be thrown to death..."
Zhang Chunxi brought a group of villagers to surround Zhao Qiaoniang. Zhao Qiaoniang said:
"What do you want to do? Sun Mei, you always say that my family's Wanwan is a disaster star, why don't you say that your family's Zao Zao is a disaster star?
It was your family's Dachang that got into trouble, and this time it's your family that got into trouble again. It's obvious that you were the disaster star from the beginning, so you should think it through carefully.
What if our Wanwan is a lucky star, then your entire Linjia Village will be unlucky. Do you remember what the Taoist priest said?
The gods are enraged and have brought down disaster, and your Lin family will be doomed to eternal damnation."
Master Bai also nodded and said:
“Yes, I was there when the Taoist priest said that.
It's still unclear who is the lucky star between Lin Zaozao and Lin Wanwan. Do you really want to take a child's life?"
Sun Mei hugged Lin Zao Zao and said, "My Zao Zao is naturally a lucky star. I dreamed of the gods in heaven..."
"Oh! What a coincidence! I dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva told me to protect my Wanwan at all costs. My Wanwan is the lucky star!" Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her coldly.
Sun Mei brought this up on purpose because she wanted to take Lin Wanwan's life. She would not let her evil plan succeed!
The village chief frowned. The old Taoist's words were still somewhat credible, because there were many people present at the time, and the old Taoist could tell at a glance what problems their family had and who were the people.
Anyway, it is very magical, the village chief said:
“Since we can’t tell who the lucky star is, let’s wait a little longer!
Let's find a place to rest for two days while the hunting team goes into the mountains to hunt."
Without food, there is no way to move forward.
After everyone left, Old Lady Lin said angrily:
"Zhao Qiaoniang, you jinx, I told you to throw this disaster away, but you didn't want to, right?
If you don't throw it away, don't even think about entering my Lin family again. Lin Dasheng, look at your wife, she's trying to piss me off to death. Divorce her now."
Lin Dasheng looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and whispered, "Qiaoniang..."
Zhao Qiaoniang cried out in tears, "Lin Dasheng, do you want to divorce me?"
Lin Dasheng shuddered and said:
"That child is a disaster. It will be bad if we take him with us.
Look at how our life was once good, but now it has turned out like this. It’s all her fault.”
