Late at night, the Su Xinyang brothers huddled on the edge of a tree, leaning against a tree trunk and sleeping.
Half asleep and half awake, I heard a rustling sound.
Su Xinyang opened his eyes and saw his grandfather and grandmother standing up and walking towards the woods.
He just closed his eyes and was about to continue sleeping, but he felt the urge to pee, so he got up and walked towards his grandpa and grandma. After taking a few steps, he heard the conversation between his grandpa and grandma.
The two men squatted in the grass to relieve themselves and talked about something in low voices.
Su Xinyang squatted behind a big tree and listened with his ears perked up.
"Old man, you don't have much food on you. There are so many people eating now, you won't be able to last long." Old Mrs. Su sighed.
"In my opinion, we should just throw away the two little ones while we have the chance."
Su Xinyang, who was hiding behind a tree, narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands into fists.
Even though they didn't eat much and had to do a lot of work, grandma was ready to throw them away.
He was so angry that he wanted to rush out and question her, but when he thought of what his grandmother had said during the day, he had to grit his teeth and hold it back.
No, if he angers grandma now, he and his brother will really have no way to survive.
What Old Man Su said next made Su Xinyang feel cold all over.
"Stupid." Old Man Su scolded in dissatisfaction.
Before Su Xinyang could be happy, he was brought back to reality by his next words.
"You still want to raise those two little ones? They are not from our Su family."
Not from their Su family?
What does grandma mean by this?
"How can you be so stupid? When we get to the next city gate, we can sell the two little ones to the human traffickers. They are good-looking and can definitely fetch some money."
Old Lady Su's eyes lit up, but then she thought of something, "The little ones are worthless in this situation. Many adults may not get a buyer even if they sell them. What if no one wants these two little ones? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
Old Man Su shook his head at her stupidity. "It doesn't matter if no one buys them. When we are at our wit's end, we can always exchange them with other people."
When it comes to that point, the Su family will be at the end of their rope and on the verge of death.
Old Mrs. Su looked at her husband in surprise and sighed heavily. If her own family couldn't eat it, she could just give it to someone else.
"You've thought it through."
After hearing his grandfather's plan, Su Xinyang, who was hiding behind a tree, felt a chill run up from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and his whole body became cold.
Change the child...
He knew what this meant.
This means they will die without a burial place.
They are not members of the Su family...
At this moment, Su Xinyang completely hated everyone in the Su family.
The rustling sound came again over there, and the two old men had already stood up together.
Su Xinyang took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and carefully retreated, returning to his original position before the two old men came back.
The urge to pee had already been scared away by their conversation.
Old Man Su and his wife returned to the camp. They looked around and saw that everyone was fast asleep. They did not dare to make any noise and quietly returned to their seats to rest.
Su Xinyang kept listening with his ears perked up, and only after hearing their regular breathing did he dare to secretly open his eyes.
A pair of eyes were fixed on the two old men.
They couldn't stay here any longer, they had to take their brother away from them before the two old men took action. Otherwise, they would die without a burial place.
Are you afraid of being separated from the team?
Of course they are afraid, but they have to do it in order to survive.
A small person with a determined look in his eyes.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Su Yin's group was so huge that the scattered refugees did not dare to get too close to them for fear of angering them.
Nan Jingzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his mouth was dry, he took a sip of water, looked up at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, saw the trees in front of him, and turned his head to face Su Yin.
"Miss Su, we have been walking for the whole morning and are exhausted. Let's take a rest and have a cup of tea."
"OK."
Su Yin's butt also hurt from the bumpy road.
Su's mother kept the bucket of water steady, fearing that the water would spill.
The huge group of people picked a place and looked for a cool place to rest. The whole team was quite long.
The force value is distributed in three sections: front, middle and back, so that it is easier to take care of the elderly, the weak, women and children, so that when something happens, they won't be left without care.
Su Yin helped her mother get out of the car and sat under a tree nearby.
Doctor Li came over with some freshly pounded herbs and changed the medicine for Su's mother.
"Thanks to Doctor Li, my leg feels much better." Su's mother was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.
"It would be too formal to say thank you. My life was saved by Miss Su." Doctor Li applied medicine and bandaged the wound skillfully.
"I think it's almost done. I don't think it will be needed later, right?"
Under normal circumstances, she would have stopped applying the medicine and would have just gone out to walk around, but Yinyin refused and insisted that she rest more and apply more medicine.
"Apply another patch of medicine and it will be almost cured. However, even if you don't apply medicine, you can't walk too much. It's best to rest in the car and go out in the field after a month or so, so as not to easily retain the root of the disease."
“It’s that serious.”
"Mom, you can't go wrong if you listen to Doctor Li."
Doctor Li stood up and said, "Okay, I'll come back next time to change it. I'll go change their dressings somewhere else."
With Doctor Li in the team, everyone felt more at ease, especially those who were injured, who all benefited from Doctor Li's care.
Since Doctor Li's family is self-reliant and doesn't ask for food, he would charge a little bit of consultation fee from each family after treating them. The price was not high, even cheaper than that charged by the local doctors in the village. It was just a token of his appreciation, and at least he could earn enough money for food.
At first, Doctor Li refused to accept the money, but his subordinates were very conscious and knew the difficulties of his family. They didn't have much property and owed Su Yin a lot of money. Naturally, they would not shamelessly ask others to serve them for free.
After resting for two cups of tea, the team set off again.
Just after walking five miles, there was a commotion ahead.
Su Yin and Nan Jingzhi were walking in the front and were the first to notice something was wrong ahead. Many scattered families who were fleeing, after seeing the commotion over there, fled to the rear.
The team stopped and did not move forward.
The people at the back didn't know what was going on, so when they saw the people in front stop, they also stopped.
"Why did the team stop?"
"Did something happen up ahead?"
Those who fell behind were all guessing, and everyone became alert and picked up their weapons.
This is a habit that I developed after fleeing all the way. Whenever something unusual happens, I will pick up my weapon and be alert to the surroundings.
After observing, Nan Jingzhi and Su Yin quickly made a judgment.
There was a conflict between two groups of people, and the larger group was robbing the smaller group.
Su's mother lifted the curtain of the car and looked ahead. As she looked, her eyes suddenly widened.
I saw a familiar figure among the fighting people.
