The Su family got lost in the woods.
The whole family was like a headless fly, wandering around in the mountains.
"Brother, I'm tired." Su Xinguang's face was flushed, his forehead was soaked with sweat, and his hand was pulled by his brother to run forward.
"Hold on for a while longer. Once you're far enough away from those people, you can rest."
Su Xinguang gritted his teeth and persevered, allowing his brother to half-dragged him to run.
After a stick of incense, someone finally couldn't help but explode.
"I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore." Su Xiaoyi sat down on a rock, not wanting to run anymore.
The others were also panting, but everyone persisted and did not dare to stop. But when they saw Su Xiaoyi stop, the others also stopped.
Now, among the Su family, apart from Old Man Su, Su Xiaoyi has the most say and is the only young labor force.
"Dad, it's almost time. They definitely can't catch up." Su Xiaoyi panted heavily and said to Old Man Su.
Old Man Su was also very tired, but someone was chasing him, so how could he dare not relax easily?
"Everyone, take a break first. The distance is still too close, we need to stay further away." Old Man Su set the tone and did not allow others to object.
Su Xiaoyi didn't object and decided to take a rest first.
"Grandpa, I'm thirsty." At the instigation of his mother, Mrs. Li, Su Xinzhi walked up to Old Man Su and asked for water pitifully.
When the Su Xinyang brothers heard the word "water", their eyes lit up and they stared at Old Man Su eagerly.
Old Man Su glanced at his wife.
Old Lady Su received the order and took out a bamboo tube from her package, "Open your mouth."
Su Xinzhi opened his mouth happily, and Old Lady Su poured the liquid into his mouth carefully.
Su Xinzhi's two younger brothers immediately came over.
Seeing this, Su Xinyang pulled his brother and followed, standing obediently behind their brothers.
After feeding the second son's three children, Mrs. Su saw the Su Xinyang brothers and took the bamboo tube away. She said bluntly, "That's all. You two brothers, wait for next time."
Su Xinguang stared, "Grandma, I clearly heard that there was still water in the bamboo tube."
"If I say it's gone, it's gone." Old Mrs. Su's face darkened.
"Grandma, this water was stolen by my father." Su Xinguang said indignantly.
It was too late for Su Xinyang to stop it.
“Snap”…
The clear sound of slapping echoed in the silent forest.
Su Xinguang's entire little head was knocked off balance by the heavy slap. His head tilted, his cheeks burning with pain. The grievance in his heart slowly turned into hatred.
"Grandma." Su Xinyang's eyes turned red with anger and he stared at her viciously.
Old Mrs. Su met the fierce look and waved her hand at him.
Su Xinyang was prepared and stepped back to avoid the slap.
He dodged the slap. Old Mrs. Su was very unhappy. She rushed forward and grabbed his ear, hitting him hard without any mercy.
The pain in his ear filled Su Xinyang's eyes with tears and his face turned red with pain.
"Grandma, it hurts."
"It's okay if it hurts. I want you to remember this."
Old Mrs. Su began to scold them.
Old Man Su and other members of the Su family watched coldly, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, had a look of gloating in her eyes.
"You two little bastards, you are so young but you don't know how to respect your elders and don't listen to them. Are you planning to rebel? If you were in the village now, your tribe would just throw you out and throw you into a pig cage for your behavior."
Old Mrs. Su is exaggerating and talking nonsense here, and she is even brainwashing the two little ones.
"You guys really take after your heartless mother."
"If you still want to follow the surname Su, you will have to listen to whatever your grandfather and I say in the future. If you don't listen, I will abandon you and I don't think you will survive two days in this world."
Old Mrs. Su had been pulling Su Xinyang's ears, which had slowly turned from red to purple.
Su Xinyang did not cry loudly, nor did he beg for mercy, but just shed tears silently.
Su Xinguang wanted to save his brother, but was stopped by his brother's eyes.
"Grandma, we know we were wrong." Su Xinguang lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Grandma, we got it."
Only then did Old Mrs. Su calmly let go of her hand.
At this time, Su Xinyang no longer felt the pain in his ears, as they had become numb.
The two brothers hugged each other and cried silently.
After taking a rest for a cup of tea, Old Man Su said that he wanted to continue moving forward.
Li threw a bundle to the Su Xinyang brothers, "You carry these."
The three brothers Su Xinzhi followed their mother's lead and threw the empty bamboo tubes they carried with them to the two brothers, "Take these with you too."
Old Man Su noticed it, but just glanced at it. He didn't take it to heart and even acquiesced to this behavior.
Su Xinyang originally hoped that his grandfather would speak out to stop him, but when he saw his grandfather turning his head indifferently, the little hope in his heart gradually died out.
Dad had just left and they treated them like this.
Su Xinyang felt sad and full of hatred.
Little people only see the world in two colors: black and white, nothing else.
They once thought that their grandparents were good people, but as they walked on the road to escape famine, they gradually realized that the white in their eyes had gradually turned black.
The black that was once inconspicuous and looked down upon gradually turned into white.
With large and small bags on their backs, the two little kids followed the adults as they walked through the forests with difficulty.
"Dad, are we lost?" Su Xiaoyi looked up at the dense forest that lost his direction.
Old Man Su looked solemn as he watched the sky gradually darken. "Let's find a place to rest first. We'll wait for the sun to rise tomorrow morning and then figure out the direction."
"good."
The Su family found a relatively flat place, and Lu ordered the Su Xinyang brothers, "Go collect firewood."
They didn't dare to retort and walked into the woods obediently.
Having just picked up a lot of firewood, Mrs. Lu said disdainfully, "It's too little. Keep looking."
In this way, the two brothers ran back and forth several times and were completely exhausted.
When we returned to the camp for the fifth time, the others were already sitting down to rest and eating.
The two brothers hadn't eaten a single bite from morning till night and were extremely hungry. They stared at them with a pair of eyes.
Old Man Su nudged Old Lady Su with his elbow. Old Lady Su reluctantly took out a rotten steamed bun from the package and threw it to the two brothers, then poured them a little water.
"Don't say I didn't give you food."
The two brothers took the food as if it were a treasure.
Su Xinzhi gave the food to his younger brother first. Su Xinguang took a bite and the smell of decay filled his nostrils, but his hunger made him ignore everything else and he swallowed the food.
Su Xinguang ate two bites and gave the rest to his brother, "Brother, you eat."
After Su Xinyang took a bite, he naturally tasted that the food had gone bad. He resisted the urge to spit it out, chewing slowly, watching the family out of the corner of his eyes, and the hatred in his heart deepened again.
