During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Guo was pregnant, and when she smelled the strong smell of blood, she immediately began to feel nauseous.
"Third brother, stop the car!" Ye Laosi shouted as he stepped forward and helped Guo get out of the car.
As soon as Guo reached the side of the road, she started vomiting and vomited out all the breakfast she had just eaten.
Although we passed by here last night, it was dark and no one could see clearly what was going on.
Seeing the large area of road stained dark brown with blood, Mrs. Ye felt a pang of fear in her heart.
Mrs. Ye felt dizzy after just one glance. Fortunately, because she got up too early, the children were all sleeping in the car and didn't see anything.
Although Sister Ye was also afraid, she couldn't help but murmur curiously: "So much blood, how many people died?
"I never thought that the area around the capital would be so chaotic, and there would be such brutal bandits!"
Old Madam Ye couldn't bear to hear this anymore. She waited for Guo to finish vomiting and return to the car, then immediately urged, "Okay, let's go quickly.
"Let's get to the city early and find a place for the fourth son's wife to eat something, otherwise she will be starving in the morning."
Because Old Mrs. Ye bought two pieces of cloth yesterday, Mrs. Guo was already in a good mood.
Hearing that she cared so much about him, the unpleasant feeling he had when he got up early in the morning immediately dissipated a lot.
So although she felt uncomfortable, Guo rarely made a fuss or complained. After getting in the car, she wrapped herself tightly and closed her eyes.
No one else in the family was in the mood to chat, and the journey into the city was even more boring than the previous time they fled the famine.
Everyone was busy getting on their way, and their speed was much faster than usual.
It was not until they were about to arrive at Fengle County that several children woke up one after another, breaking the solemn atmosphere and making it lively.
"Mom——" Qingtian rubbed his eyes and looked around for Mrs. Ye.
Now, every day when she wakes up, she will immediately look for Mrs. Ye and must lean in her mother's arms and act coquettishly for a while before she gets up.
Mrs. Ye had estimated that Qingtian would be waking up soon, so she walked beside the car in advance.
Seeing that she woke up, Mrs. Ye quickly reached out and held her in her arms, patting her back gently to wake her up.
"You woke up just in time. We'll be going into the city soon." Mrs. Ye whispered to Qingtian while touching her forehead.
When I left home, I brought two quilts with me. Old Madam Ye and Madam Guo were wrapped in one, and the other was wrapped in the other.
It's just right to cover the children who are catching up on their sleep in the car.
Mrs. Ye had dressed warmly for sunny days, so when she woke up, she was not cold at all and even had a little sweat on her forehead.
She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Qingtian's face, and put the hood of her cloak on her, for fear that she would be blown by the cold wind.
Qingtian was still in a half-asleep state at this time, as soft as dough, allowing Mrs. Ye to manipulate her.
The guys in the car were not so well-behaved. When one of them woke up, he immediately woke up the others.
Ye Changnian yelled: "Mom, I need to pee, I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to pee my pants——"
Mrs. Ye rushed over and pulled him out of the car.
"Hold it! If you dare to pee your pants, I'll beat you up!"
After Ye Changnian shouted like this, the four brothers who originally didn't want to pee suddenly felt that they also seemed to have the urge to pee.
In the end, everyone had to stop and let those who needed to pee pee, and those who needed to do what they needed to do do what they needed to do.
Mrs. Ye whispered to her daughter, "Do you want to pee on a sunny day? I'll take you to the woods and make sure no one can see you, okay?"
Qingtian shook his head, yawned slightly and said, "Mom, I'm thirsty."
Mrs. Ye hurriedly took out the water bag and fed Qingtian some water.
The water I drank in the morning was warm, but now it has become completely cold.
As soon as Qingtian took a sip, he felt a chill all over his body. He shuddered and his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He woke up completely and his eyes widened.
"It's too cold, isn't it?" Seeing this, Mrs. Ye immediately stopped giving her the drink and said distressedly, "Just drink this sip to moisten your throat. If you're still thirsty, I'll buy you a bowl of hot noodle soup when we get to the city."
After entering the city, Old Lady Ye asked, "Lao Xi's wife, what do you want to eat?"
The streets of the city were particularly bustling at this time, with numerous food stalls lining both sides of the road, selling everything from noodle soup, bean juice, braised steamed buns, fried dough sticks, wontons, noodle soup, fried liver, steamed buns, and mutton offal soup...
Although the county town is not big, it has all kinds of food.
Guo looked for a long time and was dazzled by the choices. Finally, after hesitating for a long time between wontons and noodle soup, she chose wontons.
Ye Laosi immediately went to buy a bowl of wontons for Guo and also brought two plates of pickles as compensation.
Ye Laoer pulled the car to the side of the alley and parked it. Guo was eating breakfast and the others were taking a break.
"Boss, go ask around on the street and rent two mule carts. Then come with us to Zhang Luo's house."
The reason she wanted to rent a car was not because she had given a cart to the government office to transport corpses last night, but because she had thought about it when she was in the city yesterday.
Today, not only Ye Daming will go up the mountain, but clan leader Ye Dongming will also go with them.
Old Mrs. Ye had already observed everything quietly yesterday.
Ye Dongming's family must have large livestock, and Ye Daming also has a mule at home.
If you pull the car yourself, not only will you not be able to keep up with other people's speed, but you will also waste their time.
So she would rather spend some money and rent two mule carts to go there, so that her sons can have a break.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."
