Hearing this, Old Lady Su couldn't help but mutter, "What a bunch of starving ghosts, they can't even cover themselves with a little bit of food!"
At this time, Mrs. Lu advised: "Mother, since this thing can be found in the woods, let's go to the woods to look for it tomorrow. Maybe we can find a lot of it. I think few people know that this is edible, so the chances of finding it in the woods are definitely greater!"
Old Mrs. Su thought what he said made sense, and her expression improved a lot. But when she put the newly found wild vegetables into the pot, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain on her face.
Su Xinyang and Su Xinguang stared at the pot of boiling Tuoshang grass without blinking, and their hands clenched unconsciously.
They were already halfway there; as long as they ate them all, their plan would be successful.
The two looked at each other and suppressed their excitement.
The water in the pot boiled quickly, and the five adults couldn't wait to try it.
"Grandpa, we..." Su Xinyang spoke at the right time.
If he didn't speak, it would make people suspicious.
Before Su Xinyang could finish his words, Old Lady Su snorted in dissatisfaction, "You still want to eat? In the forest, you two little bastards must have eaten enough. You are so heartless to share this little food. The Su family has really raised you for so many years in vain."
The two brothers who were scolded lowered their heads and dared not to refute, allowing Old Lady Su to scold them.
The eight members of the Su family drank the Tuoshangcao soup happily, and no one paid attention to Su Xinyang and his brother.
Tonight, everyone in the Su family was very satisfied.
"You two little ones keep watch at night. Call me if you need anything. Don't even think about being lazy, okay?" Su Xiaoyong raised his fist and threatened, "If Second Uncle finds out, watch out for your butts."
The Su Xinyang brothers kept nodding.
After traveling continuously during the day, they were already exhausted. As soon as it got dark, they fell asleep one by one, and soon the sound of snoring could be heard one after another.
The Su Xinyang brothers had been waiting, waiting for them to fall into a deep sleep, and waiting for the Tuosang grass to take effect.
On a moonlit night, the bright moonlight falls on the earth like a veil, and everything seems so peaceful and mysterious.
Su Xinguang kept yawning, and his eyelids felt so heavy that they seemed like they would close at any time, but he still tried hard to keep himself from closing his eyes.
"Brother, is it okay?" Su Xinguang asked softly in a low voice.
Su Xinyang raised his head and glanced at the moon in the sky, then walked carefully towards his aunt, who was sleeping the lightest. Ever since their two eldest cousins were kidnapped, his aunt had been sleeping restlessly, and would wake up from her dream at the slightest noise.
Su Xinyang slowly stretched out his hand, gently pushed Lu, and whispered in her ear: "Auntie..."
The two brothers watched Lu's reaction nervously, afraid of waking her up.
Time passed by, but there was no movement from the Lu family.
"Aunt?" Su Xinyang tried to call out again, but his aunt, who usually woke up with a touch, showed no signs of waking up at this moment.
The two brothers looked at each other and a smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
Seeing this, Su Xinguang couldn't wait to take action, but was quickly stopped by Su Xinyang.
Su Xinyang shook his head at his brother. They needed to be more cautious.
This time he walked up to Old Man Su and called out softly, "Grandpa, Grandpa, there are bad guys coming!"
Old man Su didn't move, as if he was fast asleep.
Seeing this, Su Xinyang felt relieved.
"Take away everything on them." Su Xinyang said.
In fact, Su Xinguang wanted to take everything away without being told, but...
After the two brothers piled all the things together, they found that there were so many things that they couldn't take them all away.
Su Xinguang opened the bag that Old Lady Su kept for grain, and his eyes lit up when he saw that there was still half a bag of millet in the bag.
"Brother, look, there is still a lot of rice here. Humph, this damn old woman actually lied to us that there was no rice to eat, and she didn't even give us a single bite." Su Xinyang kicked the old woman angrily.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Su frowned and seemed to be showing signs of waking up.
This scared the two brothers, especially the younger brother Su Xinguang.
The two men turned pale. Once Old Lady Su woke up and saw their actions, they couldn't imagine how they would treat the two brothers.
The air froze for a moment, and time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly at this moment.
Old Mrs. Su's brows gradually relaxed and finally calmed down.
Seeing that Old Lady Su didn't wake up, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Xinyang glared at his brother and said, "Don't do anything stupid."
His younger brother Su Xinguang kept nodding his head. He never dared to do it again.
After the two brothers packed up their luggage, they gathered all their food, all their water, and a pot.
Su Xinguang saw his brother stripping off Old Lady Su's clothes and asked curiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Looking for silver."
There wasn't even a copper coin found in these bags. This was totally irrational. The only possibility was that they kept all the silver close to their bodies.
"I'll come too."
Su Xinyang was a little worried, afraid that his brother might not be careful with his hands and wake the person up, so he reminded him, "Be gentle, don't wake the person up."
"good."
The two brothers began to plunder the Su family, not sparing anyone.
About half an incense stick of time later, the two men had found a total of 58 taels of silver, 42 taels of which came from Old Man Su, and the rest came from the two aunts.
After Su Xinyang counted the money, he gave one third of it to his younger brother Su Xinguang.
Su Xinguang quickly waved his hand and refused: "Brother, you should keep the money yourself."
However, Su Xinyang responded firmly: "No! If we encounter any unexpected events on the way, you can use the money you have to deal with the emergency. Only in this way can I rest assured."
Faced with his brother's unquestionable attitude, Su Xinguang kept the silver close to him.
The two of them changed into Su Xinzhi and the others' clothes.
Their original clothes were already in tatters and could not keep them warm at night.
After everything was ready, the two brothers each carried a heavy bag and prepared to set off.
Su Xinguang looked at the Su family members who were sleeping, his eyes filled with strong hatred. He clenched his fists, tightened and unclenched them, and then tightened and unclenched them again. "Brother, I really can't accept this. I really want to beat them up."
But reason told them that now was not the time to take action.
Su Xinyang will never forget the pain every time their fists and sticks hit him.
"We can't fight now. If we have a chance in the future, we will fight back." Su Xinyang also wanted to fight them, but he couldn't do so now.
"Um."
The two brothers carried heavy bags and set out on their escape journey under the bright moonlight.
