Su Zhenbei is a very thoughtful and sensitive person.
He knew that his little sister was not a kind little girl. She was so active in saving Wang Mengjing, that child must have a special meaning to her.
"Hey, Wang Changlin, why are you here?"
Su Chengyi's voice suddenly rang out outside the shack, loud and enthusiastic.
The Su family discussed things in the shack, and Mrs. Su asked Su Chengyi to wait outside. The Su family knew that Su Chengyi was a big mouth, and they were afraid that if he was involved, he would let the secret slip and it would be troublesome.
The Su family members looked at each other.
Su Mibao rolled his eyes. Hey, see, if you mention Cao Cao, he will appear. Wang Changlin must have followed his father's orders to come to talk to his elder brother about the Crown Prince.
Su Chengyi brought Wang Changlin in. The Su family said hello and went out, leaving Wang Changlin and Su Zhenbei in the shack.
In the night breeze, the aroma of meat wafted over the camp.
Along the way, the exiled prisoners and criminals, who had been hungry all the time, ate a belly full of wolf meat and wild boar meat. Everyone was so full that they lay down in the simple shack, rubbing their bellies and soon began to snore.
There were three shacks in the third room, and a muted quarrel could be heard from one of the shacks.
"Cheng Liang was already seriously injured, and now a wolf has bitten off one of his legs. He is not going to survive."
Su Quanming sat there with a pale face.
Cooked wolf and wild boar meat were placed on the floor of the shack.
He was so hungry that he felt dizzy and couldn't swallow.
He had only two sons in his life. After the death of the eldest son, the younger son was about to die. His Su family would be extinct.
"Su Quanming, what do you mean by this? Are you going to leave Cheng Liang here?"
Lu Huifen's eyes were red, and she stared at Su Quanming like a she-wolf. She didn't eat meat either.
If the couple didn't eat, no one else could eat either. More than a dozen people squeezed in on one side, listening to the couple's quarrel and smelling the aroma of meat, their stomachs grew hungrier and their moods worsened.
"Stop arguing. Huifen, didn't you go find a doctor? The official refused to let the doctor see Liang'er. Liang'er's problem can't be solved in a short time. No matter how much you argue, you can't make Liang'er better."
Grandma Lu looked at her daughter and granddaughter looking at the meat, her eyes sparkling with greed. She was also greedy, and advised Su Quanming dissatisfiedly.
"We have to travel early tomorrow morning. Let's eat first. After dinner, everyone can go to rest. Then we adults can sit together and have a good discussion to see if there is any way to save Liang'er. Otherwise, if we just sit here and argue, not only will we fail to save Liang'er, but we might also attract the attention of the officials, who will beat us up and take away all the meat. Our whole family will either die of exhaustion or starve to death tomorrow."
Grandma Lu said this while winking at Lu Xianglian.
"Sister, brother-in-law, mother is right. We can't just ask the officials to heal Liang'er's injury. It can't be cured in one go. We might as well listen to mother, eat well and sleep well first, and then think of ways to ask for help. It's better than arguing here and waiting for Liang'er to die."
At this point, Lu Xianglian looked at Su Quanming and smiled charmingly, "Brother-in-law, Liang'er is my nephew. As his aunt, I can't just watch him die. After dinner, I'll go and ask the officials for help. You go find the people from the second house. No matter which of us finds a way, it's a hope for Liang'er, isn't it?"
Seeing Lu Xianglian’s gentle smile and listening to her heartwarming and sweet voice.
Su Quanming finally came back to his senses and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my mother-in-law and sister."
"Is that right? Come, son-in-law, this is for you. No matter how big the matter is, you have to eat first. If you don't eat during this exile, you will die sooner or later."
The aroma of wild boar meat rushed into Su Quanming's nose, and his stomach instantly woke up, twitching. It was as if a big hand reached out from inside and grabbed the meat. He took a big bite of the fat and didn't know how he swallowed it.
As the meat fell into his stomach, all the muscles in his body awakened.
"Come, come, eat quickly. After eating, go and rest quickly."
Grandma Lu quickly winked at everyone, and everyone immediately reached out to grab the meat. For a moment, the shack was filled with the sound of eating meat.
Before Lu Huifen could say anything, her mother stuffed a piece of wild boar meat into her hand.
"Huifen, eat. You are the mother, you can't fall down first."
Lu Huifen looked at her mother, then at the wild boar meat in her hand, took a bite, and ate while crying.
After the meal, everyone knew what was going on and went out immediately, squeezing into another shack to sleep.
Only a few responsible persons were left in the shack to discuss countermeasures.
"Liang'er is no longer able to make it. It's no use looking for anyone else."
Su Quanming ate a belly full of wild boar meat and regained his sanity.
Although there was still sadness on his face, there was no more dejection.
"How can it be useless? As long as my Liang'er is still alive, I won't let you throw him away, Su Quanming."
Lu Huifen was a sarcastic and mean person all her life, but she doted on her youngest son all her life.
Especially after listening to Grandma Lu's explanation of the eldest son's life story, she became even more persistent. Liang'er was her only son. Without Liang'er, what was the point of her living?
Then she thought of what Grandma Lu said: she was old, but Su Quanming could still take a concubine and have another one. She gritted her teeth in hatred.
"It's okay that you were domineering at home before. Lu Huifen, you have to understand that we are on the road of exile and we are prisoners. Liang'er is in such a state, with wounds all over his body and his legs are gone. He can't survive at all. If we take him with us, we will just delay his life."
Su Quanming's legs were shaking as he thought about how he had carried Su Chengliang all the way today. If he carried Su Chengliang again tomorrow, and Su Chengliang continued to drag on like this, he might die before Su Chengliang.
"Su Quanming, don't think that you are the only one who is smart and everyone else is blind. When the wolf came today, did you think no one saw what you did?"
When Lu Huifen heard what Su Quanming said, she immediately got furious.
When Su Quanming heard Lu Huifen mention the wolf coming, his face turned dark.
"You still have the nerve to criticize me. When the wolves came, you ran faster than anyone else. You climbed up the tree, but what about me? I carried Liang'er on my back, and I couldn't run at all. We would both die. I put Liang'er on that crooked tree because I thought there was a deep valley below, and the wolves weren't stupid. They wouldn't risk their lives just to eat a person, right?"
"Why don't you say that you were afraid of death, so you abandoned your son and ran away?"
Lu Huifen thought about it, and when she heard the wolf coming, she instinctively followed everyone and ran. When she climbed up the tree, she remembered that Su Quanming was carrying his son. She lay on the tree and saw from a distance that Su Quanming hung his son on a tree growing on the edge of the cliff. He climbed up a big tree by himself.
My son was swaying on the crooked tree. If he hadn't been unconscious, he would have woken up and seen himself hanging on the tree at the edge of the cliff, ready to fall off at any time. He would have been scared to death.
Then the wild boar rushed over, raising a cloud of dust.
