Xie Baoshu, who was two steps ahead, heard the noise, turned around and dragged Xie Baotian away.
"I said, brother, why are you dawdling! Brother Lin is dizzy! The water is here for you. Go over and give him a sip of water. If that doesn't work, just carry him on your back. He's injured and bleeding so much. Don't get another heat stroke!"
As he spoke, he pushed Xie Baotian away! Taking advantage of the situation, he put Xie Yujiao behind him.
Xie Yujiao said angrily
"Second uncle, what do you mean? I'm your niece, and you don't even let me drink your saliva! What kind of uncle do you do?"
Xie Baoshu was not angry after hearing this and said with a smile.
"I'm talking about Yujiao's niece! Look at your uncle's mouth. It's as dry as bark, and his throat is spitting fire. He can't bear to take a sip of water!
For this saliva, your brothers Tianlin, Tianming, and Tianqi were all beaten to death with bloody heads, noses, bruises, and swollen faces, and half of their lives were lost, just to have the saliva to survive at critical times, and to save their lives and find new water sources. You can't kill a few of us just to quench your thirst! "
After Xie Baoshu finished speaking, he chased after the people in front of him. Several brothers from the Liu family followed him and curled their lips sarcastically when they saw Xie Yujiao's aggrieved eyes.
Who can I show to you by pretending to be like this at this time! Everyone knew that it was life-saving water, but this woman still wanted to take a few sips to quench her thirst! I really don’t know what to say!
"You, you,..."
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Xie Yujiao pointed at them angrily and became speechless. She stamped her feet and followed angrily. She thought viciously in her heart that she would tell her grandpa when she went out and teach Xie Baotian a lesson. ! She simply didn’t take her grandfather as the patriarch of the clan seriously!
Front
Xie Baotian was also a little worried and said to Xie Baoshu
"Isn't it a bad thing for us to do this? If Yujiao complains when we go back, we will offend our uncle!"
“Brother, your life is almost gone, and you still care about so many things!
In the years since our father passed away, has my uncle considered us his nephews?
Because he is the eldest, he has inherited the position of clan leader, and he shows off his power to us at every turn. If only he could show some respect for his brotherhood with dad, we would not have had such a difficult time in these years!
He is the boss, so there is nothing wrong with inheriting the position of clan leader!
But why are we only given 20 acres of the 120 acres of fertile land left by our ancestors?
According to clan rules, when an old man dies, the eldest son inherits half of the family property, and the remaining half is divided equally among the other brothers, if there are only two sons. The eldest son inherited 60% of the family property, and the second son inherited 40%. Logically, we should allocate 48 acres of land, one to the yard, but what did they do?
There was no room for us in the third house, and we were driven to the old house in the middle of winter! Is he such an uncle? They took advantage of everything, but did they treat us any better?
My father died early and my mother was widowed. They lectured me on every trivial matter. In the morning, when the door was opened a little late, they blocked the door and scolded the lazy woman for her sleepiness!
My mother is very strict with herself in everything. She gets up when the rooster crows and sleeps when the dog sleeps!
From us to the children, we must be more diligent, sensible, and polite than others, so that they will not scold them for no reason, and we will never feel at ease for a day!
Even if we are like this, isn't he any better than us?
There is also Xie Yujiao, bad bamboo can't produce good bamboo shoots, and she often snatches things from Yushu and Min'er. The two children are afraid that we will embarrass them and never say a word, but our children are children too! I feel bad for you too, brother! "
"well!"
Xie Baotian sighed heavily when he heard his brother's words.
"I don't know what you are talking about, but he is the clan leader and uncle, what else can we do except suffer some grievances!"
Xie Baoshu was silent for a while and said
"But I see that Yushu girl has become more powerful since she got married!
It’s better to be more powerful! Don't be angry!
In our family, my mother's control is very strict. It's also because our family is in such a situation that we can't resist. After marrying into the Xiao family, at least the second child of the Xiao family has been separated, so I feel more comfortable. Even if Xie Yujiao is there to interfere, after all, Yushu occupies the position of eldest sister-in-law. Well, there’s no need to be afraid of her! "
Xie Baotian said worriedly
"Yujiao is uncle's favorite granddaughter, and uncle is also the clan leader. With him in check, it will be difficult for Yushu to take advantage of Yujiao!
The imperial power does not extend to counties, but only to clans. All clans are autonomous. Autonomy depends on ethics, and ethics relies on squires.
The clan leader has the power to deal with people and affairs in the clan, and he is also our elder. No matter who we are, we are all suppressed. I am worried that he will cause trouble for Yushu later! "
"Brother! Now Yushu is the wife of the Xiao family first, and the head of the Xie family can't control the Xiao family! He scolds us for being incompetent in educating our daughter, just scold us, and we will just treat it like a dog's fart!"
"Well! That's all we can do!"
The two brothers Xie Baotian chatted with each other. Xie Yushu also found a relatively cooler cliff cave in front.
Unfortunately, the cliff cave is not big and there is no water, but there are natural holes on both sides to form convection, but it is a bit windy. Although it is also a hot wind, the sun is high and it is obvious that everyone can't stand the heat. I asked everyone for their opinions. They all decided to take a rest here and recover their strength!
The group of people sat down and drank water, then leaned against the cliff to rest.
At this point, no one had the energy to say another word, and even Xie Yujiao stopped making trouble!
After an hour, some people were already asleep or unconscious. Xie Yushu woke everyone up again! Grit your teeth and keep on going!
Everyone moved with difficulty, and the will to survive supported everyone's movement like a machine!
Finally at dusk, there was not much water left in the gourd, and they finally arrived at the foot of Wuling Mountain.
"Ah! Sister! There is water! There is really water! There is really water!"
Xie Tianqi screamed loudly! Everyone is in high spirits!
"where?
Where is the water? "
"There! Under the cliff, one-third of the mountainside, there is a small patch of green trees!" Xie Yushu pointed to the mountainside and said
"Yes, there are only scattered century-old trees on other mountains, and the ones with deep roots are still green. If there is a green tree there, there must be water!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone immediately ran towards it, and the energy that had been spent was restored to the same spot!
"Beware of venomous snake beasts!"
Xie Yushu reminded loudly
"There's a wild beast that's just feeding me!"
"Mom! For this reason, I am a beast!"
The Liu brothers plunged into the mountains with a green light in their eyes, running towards the green trees! Although the wounded members of the Xie family, Xiao family and the Liu family have also moved faster, the old, weak, sick and disabled are still not as fast as others!
When Xie Yushu and his party arrived, they saw the Liu brothers standing motionless in front as if they were frozen!
"Why are you all standing here? No water?"
Xie Tianqi asked quickly.
But no one answered his question
When they walked up to take a look, they were instantly frightened into a cold sweat!
From the edge of the shade where they stood to the water pool six or seven meters in front, there were densely packed snakes in various colors!
Standing on the snakes are pheasants, rabbits, foxes, wild dogs, badgers, and all kinds of animals that cannot be named!
There were clusters of squirrels and civets hanging on the trees, and flocks of birds almost bent the branches!
The scene was so scary and weird that Xie Yushu felt dizzy! Others are even more
"Lie×,"
"Mom!"
"ah"
All kinds of frightening sounds are everywhere! Li and Xie Yujiao were so frightened that they fainted! Thanks to boss Xie’s quick eyesight and quick help, he didn’t fall down the mountain!
However, these animals did not attack them at all. To be precise, they did not even attack each other. They ignored each other, even their natural enemies, and maintained a strange balance between them!
