Chapter 236 I can’t walk anymore
The two people were talking here, and they didn't notice that Liu Dong's six-year-old son was eavesdropping.
After hearing this, he ran away quietly.
The old lady waved her hand: "Well, no need, it's all done, it's all done."
Then change the subject.
"Brother Liu, let's think about the situation. There's no guarantee that the Western Liao people will come here. We must be prepared to cross the mountains."
Old Man Liu suddenly became serious.
There must have been several hundred villagers in total. They brought food and bedding. It wasn't winter yet, so they wouldn't freeze to death if they huddled together.
But the wild beasts at that time were very ferocious, and I was afraid that half of the people would be lost by the time they reached the other side of the mountain.
On top of that, many people fell ill.
Including some strong laborers.
It is very difficult to cross the mountains to reach Jincheng.
What I fear most is...
"Madam, I'm afraid they'll...burn the mountain!"
The Western Liao people didn't care whether the land would be damaged or a series of disasters would be triggered. Even if no grass grew for a few years, it was none of their business.
If the mountain is burned, I'm afraid they will all be burned to death before they can reach Jincheng.
"That makes sense. Let's go down the mountain halfway."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, everyone heard the baby crying loudly.
I saw a few children making a fuss for some unknown reason.
Little Jinxiu is riding on Liu Dong's son and beating him!
“Stop, stop!”
Liu Dong's wife ran over to pull Jinxiu away distressed. Jinxiu didn't fight back and got up. She was not afraid of the other parents and fiercely warned the child on the ground: "If you say anything more, I will sew your mouth shut!"
Liu Dong's wife hugged her son and comforted him, not daring to blame him.
On the one hand, she was a prisoner who was used to being bullied, but on the other hand, Jinxiu was the child of her benefactor's family, so she couldn't blame him.
"I wasn't watching you for a moment, and you hit someone. What's going on?" Jintang ran over, grabbed Jinxiu's collar and asked sternly.
Liu Dong also came over.
"Little Master, it's okay, it's just children playing around."
"Uncle Liu, I saw it. Xiao Huzi didn't fight back, so Jinxiu was the one who hit him. We need to investigate this matter. If it's Jinxiu's fault, she must be punished!"
"I'm not wrong!" Jinxiu shouted with her neck stiffened.
"Whether it's right or wrong isn't up to you to decide. You're the one who hit him. If you want to judge, let's all judge together!"
A group of villagers were watching nearby. Although everyone was saying that the children were just fighting, they still wanted to know what was going on.
Jintang hasn't smiled since he came back from the city. He's so stern at this moment that Jinxin is a little scared.
My grandmother and aunts didn't come over, they just watched from a distance.
Jin Xin suddenly felt very aggrieved.
Looking at the little tigers being held in someone's arms, she wondered, why don't they have mothers?
"Brother, it was Xiaohuzi who said that Fourth Uncle was dead and asked me and my sister to be buried with him, so I hit him." Jinxin said crying.
Jinxiu waved her fist again: "I didn't even use much force. Next time I'll just hit you on the head! Dare you say my fourth uncle is dead? Your fourth uncle is dead, and your whole family is dead. Go and be buried with him!"
Jintang covered her mouth.
He looked at Xiaohuzi again, waiting for his explanation.
"How can you say that? This isn't a curse. If it were me, I would fight too!"
"You're so young and you're talking nonsense. Didn't an adult teach you that?"
…
Many villagers were already seriously ill, and they were very averse to talking about death or burial, and they were all talking angrily.
Liu Dong slapped Xiao Huzi on the butt: "You deserve it! Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Little Tiger started crying again.
I'm dead, you and I are going to make coffins...
No one knows a son better than his mother. Hu Zi's mother said in a low voice, "Hu Zi, is that what you mean? A funeral?"
Hu Zi: "Wow... I just want to go and accompany him, attend the funeral, and cry..."
Well……
Jintang, who was taking it seriously, said: "..."
"Who cares about the funeral? If you say my fourth uncle is dead, I'll beat him!"
Jinxiu had no idea about this matter. She just thought that her fourth uncle was sick and was recuperating and not seeing anyone.
So Jintang cannot say that Jinxiu is wrong.
But Xiao Huzi didn't mean it, so he shouldn't be beaten for no reason.
Jintang turned around, bowed solemnly and apologized to Xiaohuzi.
"No, no, young master, it's little Hu who is outspoken." Hu's mother said helplessly with her hands spread out.
She was hiding it from her child, and her own kid leaked it out. She deserves a beating!
"Jinxiu was impulsive."
Jintang took out a piece of candy and gave it to Xiaohuzi.
Little Tiger immediately forgot everything.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, it doesn't hurt at all!"
Jinxiu was very angry and turned around and ran behind a tree.
Jintang pulled Jinxin, who also had a pout, behind a tree.
After a while, Jinxin and Jinxiu came out from behind the tree and started digging the soil happily again.
The old ladies then withdrew their gaze.
"He handled it well in front of others, but I don't know what he said to Jinxiu."
"I guess she's just trying to coax people, just like my fourth brother's wife!" Xie Yurou said.
Li Yuzhi also wanted to know, so she simply called Jintang over.
“Mom, I didn’t say anything, I just told her that Xiaohuzi misunderstood, he didn’t mean any harm, he was just a little stupid.
He also told her that a general must be tolerant. If she wanted to be a general and beat people at every turn, people would only be afraid of her and would not obey her sincerely.
The strong should strike down the tyrants and show kindness to the weak."
Li Yuzhi looked at him in shock for a while.
"Did your fourth aunt teach you, or did your teacher teach you?"
"Neither. The child thinks so."
The massacre on the street resurfaced in Jintang's mind, and the hatred in his body began to stir again.
It's a pity that he is not strong enough!
He was also worried about his fourth aunt who had not returned yet.
When he came to his senses and saw the pleased looks of his mother, grandmother and aunt, he remembered that he had not finished speaking.
“Oh, these Jinxiu don’t listen.
Finally, I gave them two more candies each.
A piece of candy won't do the trick."
“…”
…
Just when everyone was hiding in the mountains waiting for news, a group of people suddenly emerged from the depths of the forest.
The villagers were so scared that they all picked up hoes and sickles.
"Old lady!"
The leader ran up to the Huo family and said, "I am Lian Cang, your subordinate. I have been ordered to come and support you!"
Only then did everyone see clearly that this was not a person from Western Liao.
"We'll have to wait a while."
"We can't wait. My subordinates have sent people to investigate and found that the Western Liao people have dug a tunnel through the snowy peaks of the Western Mountains and are continuing to advance into Liangzhou City. By then, they will definitely clear out all the surrounding mountains. We must leave as soon as possible.
Don't worry, old lady, I will leave someone behind to look for the mistress."
The villagers heard it clearly and were immediately filled with despair.
I really can't go home again!
Just when we were about to settle down, the days were gone again.
I heard that the world outside is in chaos. Where can they go?
The old lady called out, "Everyone, pack up and leave!"
"I won't go on anymore. I can't walk anymore. I won't struggle any more..." The old headman panted heavily, leaning against a tree, unable to even stand up.
There are also many villagers who have fallen ill. They have no desire to live and are waiting to die.
At this moment, the old lady had no time to care and could only gather those who could still walk to go together.
“Found it! Found it!”
Yue Buyuan ran back holding a bunch of rotten grass roots.
"This is the root of rotten wood. Eating it can delay the toxicity. Everyone, eat it first."
"It's just a delay, but he will still die, right?" Everyone's eyes turned from bright to dark.
Zhu Fansheng stood up shakily, snatched the grass roots from Yue Buyuan's hand and chewed them in big mouthfuls.
"I don't want to die... I ......"
Big tears fell down, he knelt on the ground, and threw himself in front of the old woman: "Mom——"
Damn, he just stopped breathing.
The three children also started to feel listless.
