Xu Dazhu also leaned over and said, "Nini, shout again!"

Nini's face turned red, she pursed her lips and shouted in a low voice: "Mom, drink water!"

Chunfeng took the bowl and said in an excited voice: "Okay, mother, mother, drink!"

From the time she came home until now, although Nini wanted to eat the food she gave her, she would let her hold her, and she also liked being around her, but she never called her "mother".

At this time, when he heard his daughter's tender voice calling him, Chunfeng was about to burst into tears. He couldn't get enough of it and pulled his daughter into his arms: "Nini is so good!"

Nini touched Chunfeng's hand and said seriously: "Mom is not afraid that the snake is dead, Grandma Jiang is not afraid, and Nini is not afraid either. Dad is here!"

His movements and tone looked very much like Xu Dazhu's.

Ha ha ha ha!

Everyone laughed, Xu Dazhu was a little embarrassed, Chunfeng blushed, hugged her daughter and kissed her.

It turns out that Chunfeng was disgusted by the smell of snakes after she came back, and Nini misunderstood that she was scared, so she imitated Xu Dazhu and gave her water to comfort her.

The night wind was blowing, a bonfire was blazing in the small courtyard, and a pot of snake soup was eaten up.

Amid the laughter and laughter of the crowd, the little wild boar was happily circling around the crowd.

"Mom, Pork Belly is getting more and more courageous now!" Xu Errui kept grabbing the tail of the little wild boar because of his weak hands.

No matter how small the little wild boar is, it is still very wild. When Xu Errui pulled its tail, it became furious. It snorted and turned around quickly, biting Xu Errui's hand with a sharp bite.

Although this action was fierce, the bite of the small baby teeth did not hurt. Instead, Xu Errui pinched his ears again.

The little wild boar became even more angry, so he slammed into it aggressively.

Unfortunately, it was too small. When it hit someone's leg, it knocked itself upside down, causing even more laughter.

Ha ha ha ha!

Everyone laughed again.

The little wild boar, which has been raised for half a month, has become bolder after getting familiar with people. In this mountain where there are no cats or dogs, it is quite interesting to have such a living treasure to amuse you.

The little wild boar suffered a loss from Xu Errui and hurriedly ran to Jiang Zhi and hummed, obviously unconvinced and wanted to file a complaint.

Jiang Zhi stretched out his hand to tickle it: "From now on, we'd better call it Peppa Pig, not Pork Belly."

Now she felt that she could just keep the little wild boar. Anyway, with the swill from the two families, sweet potato vines, green rice flour, and green grass on the mountain, it would be okay to raise a pig.

As for when you can no longer afford it, it won’t be too late to eat meat at that time.

"Grandma Jiang, what is Peppa Pig?" Nini asked curiously as she ran over and tickled the piggy too.

"Peppa... She is a little pig who loves to step in mud pits..." Jiang Zhi said happily!

……………………………………………………

The corn harvest on the hillside has finally begun!

After heavy rains, rabbit bites, and wild boar damage, the remaining corn stalks are still standing tenaciously.

There are only one tree here and there, in groups of three or five, or in small gatherings of four or five. The best ones only have a hundred or eighty trees.

On the empty hillside, it is like the leftover scraps collected by others, without the rows of harvest momentum in the fertile fields and fertile soil.

However, just these grains made everyone happy, because the slope area is large, and as long as they are all taken back, the harvest will be full.

Several people spread out. Some people came forward and broke off the corn sticks from the poles, while those behind cut down the poles, bundled them and carried them away.

There is no shortage of firewood on the mountain, but these corn poles are still useful. It will be convenient to build a shed on the ground in the future.

The golden corn sticks were carried back to dry in the courtyard, allowing the sun to dry away the outer layer of moisture.

At night, the moonlight is bright, so there is no need to light a lamp when working outside.

The two families sat together, first peeling the cotton bolls picked up today, then peeling the corn sticks, and chatting about homely matters.

This kind of scene should be the most common in farmhouses, but it has become extremely precious at this time.

This time, Xiao Manye was not in the mood to express his love for food. Everyone was asking Chunfeng about what was going on outside.

Today, Xiaoman went to see the situation in the village again and found that there were so many new wounded people arriving in the past two days. Many of them set up wooden frames and slept outdoors.

From far away, you can hear the angry scolding of the medical officer, and the hurried coming and going of the handymen carrying medicine soup with blood stains on their bodies.

This is a casualty brought here because the war there has become tense.

The only disadvantage of living in the mountains is the lack of news. The two families know nothing about the outside world.

The only thing that is known is the disappearance of Xu Youcai's family and the tragic experience of Zhao Li's family, which has made the two families panic until now.

Although Chunfeng briefly talked about the village affairs when he came back some time ago, he couldn't help but mention it again now.

Before, Chunfeng briefly talked about his escape process.

Her natal family is not far from Xujia Village. It is also a small village in the mountains. The family she remarried to is from the same village, but they live a little further away.

When there were rumors in the village that there was a massacre of the village, her parents took care of themselves and left without notifying her.

When the alcoholic mother and son learned that she was left behind, they beat her and scolded her. Then they packed up some things and went on the road in a hurry. They missed walking with the village and had to mix with people from other villages.

It was with strangers that Chunfeng had a chance to escape.

On the way to escape, she heard that the new army had occupied all the surrounding cities and that people had died.

Chunfeng couldn't tell exactly who died.

She only knew that everyone was following the demon, and everyone was crowded on the official road and walking hard.

Wherever I go, I don’t know what my goals are. Anyway, I’m like a flock of sheep. I have to follow others to feel at ease.

As a result, we did not encounter the new army who wanted to "kill people". Instead, we encountered heavy rain, robbery and illness on the road. Many villagers died and suffered a lot.

A few days after she returned to Xujia Village, troops were stationed in the village and began to build medical sheds. Everything that was left was what Jiang Zhi and others saw.

In the medical shed, Chunfeng didn't get much news.

Xiaoman couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, those new soldiers really didn't kill anyone? Are they good people?"

The way ordinary people distinguish right from wrong is very simple, that is, "good guys" and "bad guys."

It has been almost two months since the medical shed entered the village. No one has come up to the mountain to harass them, and the two families have not been frightened again.

The initial nervousness and anxiety gradually faded away, and I became a little curious about the outside world.

Especially after Chunfeng fled up the mountain, he said that those new troops were not the scary green-faced fangs in the rumors. Those people used to be farmers, and there were even a few soldiers from the county.

After observing the medical shed in the village during these times, Jiang Zhi did not see soldiers killing innocent people indiscriminately.

The most abominable thing is the refugees, who look pitiful on the surface, but are extremely vicious secretly, willing to do anything to bully the weak and fear the strong.

In troubled times, there is no moral restraint, and the ugliness of human nature is exposed.

This is what Jiang Zhi saw with his own eyes when he entered the village to carry lime, and it was also Chunfeng's personal experience.

In fact, now that I think about it, this escape was really ridiculous!

For ordinary people, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor, they can't do without the people below them cultivating the land, paying taxes, taxes, and labor.

Neither side of the internal struggle for power would aim to kill ordinary people.
