"Since there is water, there is no need to catch the rainwater. Call your men back quickly and find a place to stay before it gets dark. If the rain doesn't stop, our family must have a place to sleep tonight. There are so many homeless people on the road. , at least there will be a fight for it.”
When Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zhang saw that Mrs. Li had no intention of continuing to investigate the origin of Qingshui, they looked at each other, put the jar back again, and ran towards their men.
Mrs. Lin patted her granddaughter's body gently and murmured: "Is it true that there is smoke coming out of the Lin family's ancestral graves, and God sent you, a little lucky star, to save our family?"
Xiangyun closed her eyes and pretended not to hear. The Lin family was so kind to her. Now that she became a member of the Lin family, she should contribute to the family, but she didn't want to expose herself too early. What if she scared Mrs. Lin.
The old lady looks like she is in her fifties or sixties. Perhaps it is because she has been bedridden all year round. Her complexion looks very bad. Xiangyun observed last night that although the lower half of Mrs. Lin's body is paralyzed, she is still conscious. As long as it is reasonable, With treatment and rehabilitation training, there is a high probability of getting back on your feet.
The most important thing for a patient is to have a nutritious diet, but now the whole family is on the run from famine, and everyone is starving and emaciated. Not to mention eating meat, even food and clothing are a problem. If this continues, it will be a long time before Mrs. Lin can stand up.
Xiangyun nestled in Mrs. Lin's arms, frowning tightly, and sighed deeply. She subconsciously held her lower lip in her mouth, as if this could calm her anxiety.
When Mrs. Lin saw her granddaughter sucking her mouth, she patted her granddaughter gently with her skinny palms.
"Grandma's sweetheart, are you hungry? When you find a place to stay, I'll make you some millet soup and you'll have to endure it."
She was also depressed because children who could not drink milk would not be as strong as other children when they grew up. When she thought that her granddaughter might have constant ailments in the future, Mrs. Lin felt extremely depressed.
The bad mood did not last long and was quickly interrupted by the children and grandchildren running back not far away.
Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao Er's faces were filled with joy. The two of them raised their palms high, holding two big fish that were shaking their tails vigorously.
Lin Laosan and Lin Silang each held a fat rabbit in their hands and waved happily to Mrs. Lin.
Even the boys who followed at the end were holding huge sweet potatoes in their arms, and they all looked excited and lively.
"Mom, look, what a fat rabbit. There's even no leaves left in the drought. I don't know what it ate to grow up."
"The fish we caught is quite fat. I'm going to let my siblings make crucian carp soup tonight. I've been thinking about this for months!"
"Milk, we also found sweet potatoes. They are so big that I can't even hold them with both hands!"
Old Mrs. Lin wished she could pry open the heads of her children and grandchildren to see if they were stuffed with straw. She yelled to show off her wealth on the way out, wasn't she looking for death?
Sure enough, before Mrs. Lin could beat her children and grandchildren, jealous passers-by came up and asked where the fish and rabbits were caught.
Lin Laoer was an honest man, so he opened his mouth and replied: "In the pond behind, there is rain, and the fish jumps out, and it just jumps into my arms. What a coincidence!"
He also wanted to say that the rabbit hit the tree and died by himself, but Lin Laosan pulled his arm to stop him.
The passerby stared at the fish and rabbit, swallowed hard, and ran towards the pond. Wuyang quickly followed a group of people behind him, and they all grabbed the guy and attacked fiercely.
Only then did the sons of the Lin family feel that they had said something wrong. If this group of people couldn't catch the fish or found the rabbit that fell into the trap, they would have to pay attention to them.
The Lin family finished cleaning up as quickly as possible, quickened their pace, and walked for half an hour. They finally arrived at a ruined temple before the heavy rain turned into a heavy rain.
The night was quiet, with heavy rain falling under the eaves, accompanied by lightning and thunder, Xiangyun had an uneasy sleep along the way.
The empty feeling in my stomach was uncomfortable, but fortunately, warm rice soup was quickly fed into my stomach.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her daughter with her mouth open, two rows of bare gums rubbing up and down, as if she hadn't eaten enough. Her eyes seemed to be wider, and the whites of her eyes were clear, as if the white pancake was dotted with two black sesame balls. He raised his head and looked at the bubbling crucian carp soup beside him.
"My sister also wants to drink fish soup, but she already has chin!"
Tianci laughed so much that he covered his stomach, and soon Xiangyun was surrounded by people.
Mrs. Zhang held half a bowl of fish soup and dangled it under her nose. Seeing her head turning in the direction of the bowl, she burst out laughing.
"Do you really want to eat it? The little girl is smart. She knows that rice soup is not delicious, and fish soup is the best thing!"
Mrs. Zheng also laughed, dipped her chopsticks into the fish soup, and handed it to her daughter. Before she even touched her lips, her pink tongue was already hanging out, making the whole family laugh.
"It's good to have a taste, but don't be greedy. The child's stomach can't bear it." Mrs. Zhang drank the fish soup in one breath and took the swaddling clothes. "Give me the baby. You've been tired for a day. Go and drink some soup and eat some fish." "
Mrs. Zheng was not tired at all while holding her daughter. The child was so adorable that she couldn't get enough of it.
"It's okay, sister-in-law. I'll hold you for a while and eat later."
Zhang poked her with his elbow and pointed in Zhao Ruoxia's direction with his eyes.
"There won't even be any fish residue left."
Zhao Ruoxia was sucking the fish meat in the wind. Before she could finish chewing it, she quickly put her chopsticks into the pot and started slurping. She drank two bowls of fish soup and then went to get a spoon.
Lin Laoer couldn't stand it anymore and gently motioned to her several times: "The third brother and sister haven't eaten yet, please leave some for her."
Zhao Ruoxia seemed unaware and said confidently: "Did I cover her mouth to prevent her from eating? The pot is right here. She insists on holding that dead girl. What can I do?"
Lin Laosan couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the spoon and scooped a large bowl into the bowl, and also put several pieces of plump fish fillets in. Each piece was cut off halfway by Zhao Ruoxia just as she was about to take it.
As soon as Mr. Zheng sat down, Lin Laosan gently handed the bowl to his wife: "Thank you for your hard work. You have been busy all the way and cooked dinner for the whole family. You should eat more."
Zhao Ruoxia stretched her neck and looked into the pot. She only saw the remains of fish bones. She dropped her mouth and threw the chopsticks away to find a place to rest.
The temple was eerily empty at night, the wind was howling, and the last bit of firewood was extinguished.
The Lin family members hugged each other, not only to keep each other warm, but also to encourage each other.
Xiangyun was woken up by thunder in the middle of the night. The rice soup at night was not enough to satisfy her hunger. Her stomach was holding back again. She was about to wait for Zheng to wake up and give her something to eat. Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed next to the firewood pile where fish soup was being cooked. A dark figure was squatting, sneaking around and not knowing what he was doing.
At first, Xiangyun thought it was the Lin family who didn't have enough to eat. He raised his head and counted the number of people, and there were a lot of them.
Then this person can only be a thief.
Could it be that the group of refugees who missed the hunt during the day have caught up with them and want to steal something?
Xiangyun stared at her legs and tried to remind Ms. Zheng, but she was too sleepy to respond. She could only howl and cry as loudly as she wanted.
Not only did it wake up the Lin family, but the thief was so frightened that he couldn't choose his way out.
"who!"
Lin Laosan, with quick eyes and quick hands, immediately noticed something was wrong, grabbed the man and pressed him to the ground, and clasped his hands behind his back.
Other men of the Lin family also rushed forward to block the escape route. Lin Silang blew a bright fire certificate and held it in front of the thief.
"I want to see who doesn't have eyes and steals things on my head."
Boss Lin acted impulsively and was about to step on the person's head and teach her a lesson, but stopped when the light came on.
"Aunt...why is it you?"
