The new yard is located in a remote area, just at the east end of the village. Looking eastward, you can see Xiaoqing Mountain.
Fortunately, the courtyard wall was high enough, and the uncles helped to build a sturdy fence gate.
After a while of noise, the four brothers and sisters finally quieted down.
Standing in the yard, the four of them stared at each other. It was like a dream.
Brother 꿷꽭 was resolute in his attitude. He was determined to take his younger siblings away from the Song family even at the cost of his own life, which made Song Jinxiu look at him with admiration.
"Brother, are you okay?" Song Jinxiu asked worriedly.
Song Chun shook his head.
Song Chun was very excited now that he had really gotten away from that family. But at the same time, there was a vague fear in my heart.
He knew the Song family's true colors best, and his grandfather's words, saying that he would be kicked out of the house, were just a scare.
Because his eldest cousin was studying in the county town, he knew how much the old man valued the family's reputation. How could we allow an unfilial descendant to break off relations with our family?
The reason why 꿷꽭 was able to successfully escape from the Song family was that he and his sister looked so miserable that the village head grandfather really felt pity for them.
Also, my eldest cousin and the grandson of the village head went to school in the county together, and my eldest cousin always put himself ahead of his grandson.
He had seen his grandfather deliberately showing off his eldest cousin in front of Grandpa Li Zheng many times, and when he got home he said that he did it on purpose to irritate Grandpa Li Zheng.
He thought, if he could understand his grandfather's little thoughts, how could the village head not understand it?
Therefore, if I could save my grandfather's face next time, the village head grandfather would definitely be very happy.
So when he saw the head of the village leading the people here, he would desperately ask for help from the head of the village. In Songjia Village, the only person who can make the decision for them is the village head.
You know, the village head is the son of the clan leader, and his words are equivalent to the clan leader's words.
If the village head had not made the decision for them at that time, it would have been extremely difficult for them to leave that home.
Moreover, he was risking everything on this fuss. If he failed, when the village chief left, what would be waiting for them would be a bottomless abyss...
"We must remember the kindness of the village chief. No matter what, he helped us."
Song Chun looked at his brothers and sisters.
"Wu Ya, Qiu Xiao, we may have to live a hard life. Will you blame your elder brother for bringing you out?"
"Wherever my brother and sister go, I will follow them. I am not afraid of hardship. We don't have enough to eat in that family, but I am not afraid of going hungry."
Wu Ya was 15 years old and knew that her brother was doing this for her own good.
Qiu 눃 was still holding on to her sister's clothes.
The child has felt particularly insecure since his mother left. She was either pulling at her brother's collar or grabbing her sister's clothes.
He still said nothing, just stared at his brother with big eyes.
"Hey, don't be afraid, Qiu, sleep with your brother tonight. Okay?"
Song Qiu nodded. She let go of her sister's clothes and came over to hold her brother's fingers.
Song Jinxiu rubbed her head.
The child was still speaking, although his articulation was not very clear, but he was considered a normal child.
Ever since his mother left, he has become a shut-mouthed person. No matter who asks him a question, he never speaks or smiles. He just stares at you blankly. Everyone in the Song family says he is stupid.
In fact, the child must be frightened.
There was no bed in the room, and it was like spring, not very cold. The brother and sister gathered hay and made a bed on the floor.
"Brother, what do you want for dinner?"
Chinese food is what people eat at home, for example, if there are coarse grains at home but no pot. How to make this dinner?
Song Chun took out a handful of fried beans and said, "This is what the fifth grandmother of the clan gave me. Eat some beans first and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
He was really too tired. He had been tense all day, both physically and mentally. As soon as he relaxed, his stump hurt so much that he suddenly couldn't move.
As he spoke, he passed the beans to his younger brother and sister, then rummaged around, took out a few beans and handed them to Song Jinxiu.
"Sana, why are you calling me brother? Where are you in the academy?" He felt very curious that his younger sister called him brother.
Song Jinxiu was stunned. In her previous life, she was used to calling him senior brother. She smiled.
"I listen to other people calling me brother. If you don't like it, I will still call you brother."
Song Chun also smiled and said, "It's up to you. You can call me whatever you want. Now we have a family. Go wash the blood off your face. Be careful with the wound that has just healed. I don't know if it will leave a scar."
He and his sister deliberately refused to wash their faces with bloody wounds, hoping to play the victim in front of the elders. Gain sympathy and things will go more smoothly.
Look, the tribe members were very friendly to them, they rented a yard and gave them some food.
Wash your face? What's in this yard?
There is no water to drink, what can I use to wash my face?
This yard has been vacant for too long, and everything that can be used has long been taken away.
Song Jinxiu searched around and found a broken pottery jar and a gourd ladle with a hole in it.
It doesn’t matter whether you wash your face or not. What I need to do now is to find a way to boil some water. My sister-in-law has eaten fried beans, so she will need to drink water soon, right?
"Chun, Chun, open the door."
Just then, Tietou's voice came from the gate of the fence.
Song Jinxiu quickly ran over and opened the gate: "Brother Tietou, why are you here?"
"My mother asked me to bring you some food."
Tietou is holding a water gourd.
After looking around, he scratched his head and said, "You guys really don't have anything here. This gourd contains sorghum porridge. How about you take turns drinking it?"
Song Jinxiu looked at the broken gourd ladle in her hand and said, "I'll go wash it and use it as a bowl."
As she said this she walked out.
"Hey, Sanya, wait a minute,"
Tietou called her.
"Don't run around with blood all over your face. It's scary. I'll go get a bucket of water and you can just make do with it for now."
Tietou didn't give Song Chun any time to speak, handed the gourd to Song Chun, and turned to leave.
"Okay, let's drink the porridge first."
Song Chun glanced at his younger brother who was staring at the gourd and swallowing his saliva, and handed it to him first.
The four siblings didn't dislike it and just drank the porridge, taking turns to take a bite.
Song Jinxiu also took two sips.
She wanted to dislike it, but her brothers and sisters were staring at her.
Forget it, things have turned out like this, why bother to be so fussy? These people are the original owner's blood relatives, and they don't have any infectious diseases. It would hurt their feelings if you were too fussy.
It was getting dark, and Tietou came over with two buckets of water.
"My water tank is full. It can only hold for two or three days. I'll leave this bucket at your house first. I'll come back to get it when there's no water at home."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Song Chun nodded.
"Well, let's go with each other,"
Tietou said, looking at the yard and said, "I'll come back tomorrow with a pickaxe and hoe to weed the weeds in the yard."
Then he said to Qiu, "Xiao Qiuqiu, don't go to the bushes to pee at night. It's spring now, be careful of snakes."
This reminded the siblings. After Tietou left, Song Jinxiu and her brother lit torches and knocked on the yard with wooden sticks to alert the snake.
They didn't find any snakes, so they knocked around the house, knocking on the corners and beams, and they actually found a poisonous insect - a scorpion.
"Oh, there are scorpions in this room."
Wu Ya screamed in fright.
The scorpions are not big, but there are quite a few of them.
Two big ones were killed, and the smaller ones all hid in the cracks in the wall.
Song Jinxiu frowned. Since there were scorpions, she couldn’t sleep in the corner.
"Brother, let's all sleep in the middle of the room. When it's light, we can find some ashes and spread them."
Song Chun nodded, and that was all that was necessary.
