Seeing that everyone was packing up and getting ready to leave, Qin Mosheng became anxious. How could they go on the road like this?
He grabbed Widow Song's shoulders and shook her desperately, "Mom, look at me, I'm Mo Sheng, your son Mo Sheng!"
When Widow Song heard the word Mo Sheng, her consciousness gradually returned.
"Mo Sheng? My son?"
"It's mother, it's me. Look at me. You can't just be sad for my little sister. You have to think about me too. We still need the Wang family's help. Without them, my arms are not convenient and I can't even climb this mountain. You must not talk nonsense, do you hear me?"
After hearing this, Widow Song regained her senses a little and finally shut up, but she still felt as guilty towards Qin Wanru as ever.
In a crevice not far away, Su Man pretended to look for food, but actually heard their conversation clearly.
Hearing the mother and daughter confessing themselves, Su Man's expression became solemn.
It turned out that they really did something to the horse and accidentally killed Qin Wanru.
Looking at Widow Song like this, I'm afraid she must be regretting it very much.
Killing your own daughter with your own hands must be more painful than killing her.
Su Man narrowed her eyes. People like her are most afraid of excitement.
...
The next section of the journey was more than twice as difficult as the previous one.
Not only is the slope much steeper, but the road is also extremely difficult to walk on.
Everyone had to clear the dead branches and weeds in front of their feet as they walked, for fear that they would miss a step and fall down the mountain.
Su Man grabbed the protruding part of the mountain and climbed up a steep slope. She squatted on it and handed her hand to Zhou Pingping.
Zhou Pingping's face turned pale with fear. She clutched Su Man's hand and muttered something to encourage herself.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all, woo woo..."
Zhou Pingping had to struggle so much, not to mention that Qin Mosheng had a broken arm and couldn't have climbed up by himself.
Fortunately, he was able to coax Wang Yongchang and Aunt Wang Wu. The two of them really thought that Qin Mosheng was sincere to them, so they pushed and pulled him, and finally managed to pull him up.
This road was much more difficult to walk on than they had imagined. It was already dark when they climbed up the steep slope.
The scariest thing was that it started to rain.
They still had nearly half of the way up to climb, and this half was the real danger.
Climbing a mountain at dark is dangerous, let alone when it rains.
As a last resort, the village chief could only let everyone rest where they were.
This place is not like the platform where they rested in the afternoon. There is a certain amount of space for activities.
It is only three or four steps away from the cliff and there is no obstruction.
Everyone could only try their best to stick to the mountain, not even daring to lie down, for fear that they would fall off the mountain if they turned over.
The Suman family all sat under their bags to isolate themselves from the moisture while also keeping the clothes inside dry.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Everyone's bedding was left at the foot of the mountain, so now they could only wear clothes.
Seeing that Zhou Pingping and Zhou Anan were shivering from the cold, Su Man and Grandma Zhou hugged one of them each. They also pulled Xiaolan to huddle together with them, so that everyone could keep warm together.
Zhao Yuru gave her coat to Daya and Erya, shivering from the cold.
Suddenly, she felt warm. It was Du Yuan who unbuttoned his coat and wrapped her in it.
This action was too reckless. Zhao Yuru felt embarrassed and pushed him away with a red face, saying, "I'm not cold, please let go."
Du Yuan refused. He wrapped the restless Zhao Yuru up again and hugged her tightly. "You're shivering, but you're not cold."
Seeing Da Ya and Er Ya covering their mouths and laughing, Zhao Yuru punched him in the chest and said, "You have ruined my reputation."
"It's okay. If our reputation is ruined, we can just be a couple with a bad reputation and live our lives the same."
"Smooth talk."
Zhao Yuru said she was disgusted, but she held Du Yuan tightly in her arms.
The whole family huddled together, passing on warmth to each other.
Rainy days don’t seem so hard to bear anymore.
That night, no one dared to sleep too deeply. As soon as the sun rose, everyone got up one after another.
Su Man first changed Zhou Pingping and Zhou Anan into dry clothes, and she and Xiao Lan Yuru helped each other to cover themselves and took off the damp clothes.
At first, Xiaolan refused to change because the place was too small and there was no place to change clothes.
Although you can cover it with clothes, it is too embarrassing to take off clothes in broad daylight.
But she really couldn't resist Zhao Yuru and Su Man's persistent persuasion.
"If you don't change it, and you get sick, what will you do with Daya and Erya?"
"Yes, Sister Xiaolan, isn't that how we both switch? With so many of us blocking you, we definitely won't let anyone see."
Xiaolan couldn't persuade them, so she had to change it with a blushing face.
As soon as I changed, I heard a disdainful snort.
"snort."
Qin Mosheng covered his face with his sleeves. "It's so immoral in broad daylight. If it were a woman from a wealthy family, she would probably hit her head and die if she took off her clothes in public like this."
After hearing what he said, several young girls and wives who had wanted to do the same thing stopped moving.
It rained for most of the night and everyone was soaking wet. I didn't know what would happen if we continued climbing the mountain in wet clothes for a whole day.
Su Man originally wanted to lead those conservative women by example, but Qin Mosheng's interference disrupted all her plans.
She wished she could kick Qin Mosheng down the mountain to see what was in his head.
At this point, Su Man could only suppress her anger and said, "We were caught in the rain for most of last night, and everyone must be feeling uncomfortable. Now we are on the road to escape famine. If we keep fussing about those cumbersome formalities, then we will all die. I suggest that the men go over there and stand with their backs to the camera, and the women come over here to change clothes."
