After resting for one night in the barren mountains, they continued walking towards the east.
Different from Tianqi, there is gradually greenery here.
Basking in the warm sun, smelling the fragrance of the trees, and walking on the wide official road, the four of them were full of hope for the future...
As for Tianqi's side, it's almost like hell on earth.
People who had survived the drought were greeted by heavy rainfall. Some dams collapsed, houses were washed away, and fields were flooded.
The flood hasn't passed yet, but the plague has come again. People with rashes and comatose people can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Then came the armies of the other two countries, which had already captured the five cities of Apocalypse and were approaching Kyoto.
The monarch of Apocalypse Kingdom seemed to have angered God, causing constant natural and man-made disasters.
Those with money have already fled to other countries in advance, while those without money cannot leave their homeland and have now become numb.
No one is sure whether they will wake up again tomorrow.
So they all became red-eyed and started robbing families and homes, buying and selling people, exchanging children for food.
As for the emperor of Tianqi Kingdom, the ministers who risked their lives to remonstrate with him were killed. If he wanted troops to support the border, he asked people to go to the streets to recruit young men.
The city was lost, so he sent envoys to discuss the marriage...
With all kinds of tricks, people doubt whether his brain is still healthy.
The apocalypse will lead to the country’s subjugation, but it’s only a matter of time and time.
…………
After walking for several days, Yunfei and the others finally encountered a human being.
It was dinner time, and smoke was curling up from every house.
There are children jumping around at the entrance of the village, singing nursery rhymes.
When he saw strangers entering the village, they all ran away, leaving only a little girl with her hair tied up in her hair. She asked abruptly: "Uncle, who are you looking for?"
With a strong accent, he can understand the little girl's words, but Yun Fei cannot speak this language.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qin behind him would. She took small steps forward and knelt down and asked, "We want to ask the village chief for some news. Can Ya'er take us there?"
"Can!"
The little girl happily agreed and walked in front, her little legs running very fast.
"My dear child, have you been here before? How come you still know their dialect?"
Mrs. Qin shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know either. I can't remember clearly. I just think I know how to do it."
…………
The two held the child in their arms and followed the little girl to the door of a brick house.
"Grandpa, the village chief, we have a guest in our village!!"
A woman in her forties smiled and opened the courtyard door, "It's the third girl from Lao Gen's family! Where is the guest?"
She looked toward the door, and when she saw Qin's face clearly, her expression was a little surprised, "Oh my God! You are..."
Before Yunfei and the others could reply, the woman turned around and ran into the house, leaving the confused Yunfei family standing there, looking at each other.
After a while, I saw the woman pulling out a man with a somewhat old face. This man must be the village chief and grandpa that the little girl mentioned.
"It looks like... it's so similar, it's almost like they were carved from the same mold." The old village chief was extremely excited when he saw Mrs. Qin.
"My child! You are bringing your husband and children back to look for a home!"
The woman held Qin's hand and explained their confusion with red eyes.
It turns out that this place is called Qinjiacun.
The old couple in front of them are the village chief of Xiahe Village and his wife Da Liu.
The big Liu family also has a cousin, the little Liu family, who also married into Qinjia Village, so there are two younger and younger Liu families. However, the little Liu family is not as lucky as the big Liu family.
Her parents-in-law were not easy to get along with, and they always beat and scolded her. Finally, they were able to survive and they separated their lives.
However, her husband Qin Dazhuang broke his leg while going up the mountain to cut wood. The family, which was not already wealthy, became even more precarious.
Xiao Liu gave birth to three sons and one daughter in her life.
The daughter is the eldest. When she was born, her mother-in-law didn't like it very much and secretly threw away the baby girl.
It was only discovered by Mr. Liu who was following him, and he took the child back to his cousin and his wife.
However, when the eldest daughter was seven years old, Qin Dazhuang's father passed away, and Xiao Liu had just given birth to a second son. While everyone was busy with the funeral, Da Ya actually got lost.
From then on, the couple often asked people to inquire, but they never found out about Da Ya's whereabouts.
I also suspected that my mother-in-law had sold my daughter, but the old lady insisted that she had not, so she had no choice but to give up.
You can't force the old lady to death and end up with an unfilial reputation.
Later, I couldn't find it, and my family was poor and couldn't afford to hire someone to look for it, so I just let it go.
It's just that Xiao Liu, for the sake of her eldest daughter, cried her eyes out during the confinement period. From then on, she couldn't do any needlework.
At first, Qin Dazhuang still had some money to take home from his job as a carpenter, but it would be his mother-in-law's housekeeper, and they had no money left.
Later, my mother-in-law passed away and my husband-in-law was paralyzed. The eldest uncle's family immediately organized a division of the family and gave them an old house and two acres of land before sending them away.
Mrs. Liu has to take care of her husband who is paralyzed in bed, raise three sons, and worry about the well-being of her eldest daughter.
In these years, it can be said that I have experienced all the sufferings in the world.
"Now that you have come home by yourself, your mother can feel at ease." Da Liu choked with tears.
She was such a beautiful cousin back then. Now she is only thirty-eight years old, but she looks several years older than her cousin.
Yunfei's brows furrowed more and more as he listened, "Madam, do you have any basis for saying that my wife is their lost daughter?"
Even though the accents are different, they are very similar and can be understood easily.
"Yes! Of course she does. Her face doesn't look anything like my aunt, but she looks very much like her grandma and my cousin.
I have asked the third girl to call her. You will know when you meet her. They are just carved from the same mold. "
…………
"Girl, you two are so handsome! Just like you, how have you been doing these years?" Mrs. Liu's tears have been flowing since she met Mrs. Qin.
As she asked, her eyes were red and swollen. It could be seen that she really felt sorry for her cousin's family.
Mrs. Qin glanced at Yunfei and smiled shyly: "It's very good. My husband and father-in-law both treated me very well."
Da Liu didn't ask why she didn't mention her mother-in-law, but continued to ask her about her situation.
Until an old woman staggered in and looked at Mrs. Qin in tears.
After meeting her, Yunfei understood why the village chief and his wife were so sure that Qin was the eldest daughter of the family.
Just because her face compared with Qin's, the only difference between her and Qin's is that she is old and young...
The visitor's half-white hair was a bit messy, his face was lined with wrinkles, his brow lines were deeply sunken, and the corners of his mouth were slightly downward-curved.
You can tell at a glance that the owner of this face lives a miserable life.
This is also the reason why Yao Qiyue has looked pitiful and sad since she was a child.
Genes are like this...it's just that Yao Qiyue is better.
Thank you everyone for your votes! There is only one update today. Thank you for the update tomorrow.
