"What happened?"
Where is Mother?
"You were guarding the cave entrance, didn't you see it?"
A group of people immediately scattered to search.
Perhaps it was some kind of premonition in his heart, but Old Man Li resolutely ran westward like a madman.
A moment later, Old Man Li's heart-wrenching cries echoed from the woods—"Mother!"
Countless birds immediately took flight in fright from the sky above the trees.
The wind rustled the leaves, and birdsong filled the air.
Everyone ran in that direction.
From afar, one could see Old Man Li kneeling there; the tall man looked utterly helpless.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Old Mrs. Li was lying peacefully on the ground, with a wooden hairpin inserted into her chest.
The wooden hairpin wasn't very sharp; it took the old woman countless attempts and a great deal of effort to pierce the skin...
"Milk!"
Sister-in-law Chi's legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, letting out a sorrowful roar.
The Li family members knelt down in unison.
Deep in the mountains and dense forests, someone is burying their blood relatives.
Since they didn't have shovels or anything like that, the Li family dug a pit with their bare hands and carefully placed the old lady Li inside.
Old Man Li suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face, cursing himself: "How could I not have noticed! How could I not have noticed!"
Not only did they not notice that my mother left in the middle of the night.
What I'm even more worried about is that my mother had a fever yesterday.
Blushing doesn't mean you're tired.
These past few days, in order to ease their burden, my mother has been trying not to eat or drink anything, and since the day before yesterday, she has been listless.
But he didn't think much of it!
Now, I...
What kind of son is he?!
Old Man Li suffered silently, pounding his chest with his fists the size of sandbags.
Why!
"My dear in-laws, please accept my condolences..."
Old Man Chi felt a bitter taste in his mouth and didn't know how to comfort him.
You won't know how painful it is until you experience it yourself.
At this moment, any grand principles or words of comfort are pale and powerless.
Every minute of delay increases the danger.
Old Man Li knew this too, and with red eyes, he picked up a handful of sand and threw it up.
The family slowly buried Old Mrs. Li.
Buried deep in this mountain.
Bury them in a place where they may never return.
The old man has suffered too much.
He lived to the very end, never imagining he would become a burden to his children.
To reduce the burden on her children and to give them a better chance of survival, she resolutely chose to die!
But who doesn't want to live?
If she didn't want to live, Old Mrs. Li wouldn't have allowed her children and grandchildren to carry her over mountains and valleys in the first place.
But when she found that her health was deteriorating day by day, and she even developed a high fever, she knew that she could no longer hesitate.
If I delay any longer, I'll really become an old scoundrel.
"Mother, your son is unfilial!"
Old Man Li kowtowed three times to the slightly raised mound of earth.
He couldn't even give his mother a tombstone!
The first thing this usually resilient man said after standing up was, "Remember, Li Mingrong is no longer a member of the Li family! If you ever see him again, remember... kill him!"
If Li Mingrong hadn't stolen the money, the old lady wouldn't have been so devastated!
They wouldn't have had such a difficult journey!
No matter how difficult the road ahead, Li Mingrong's abandonment of his parents and grandmother was a huge blow to Old Mrs. Li.
In Li Laohan's view, if Li Mingrong hadn't stolen the money and run away, his mother wouldn't have lost the will to live!
Li Mingfan gritted his teeth in unison: "He doesn't deserve it!"
People are all different in their conduct and actions.
But there must be at least a basic bottom line!
Clearly, Li Mingrong has lost the most important bottom line as a human being!
"His father!"
Aunt Li was in unbearable pain, tears streaming down her face, and she was almost crying her eyes out.
No matter how much you hate or get angry, she was still the one you carried for ten months and gave birth to!
"Shut up! If you're going to plead for him, get out of the Li family!" Old Man Li shouted angrily.
It's clear that some of the anger was taken out on others.
With so many people around, Aunt Li felt embarrassed and her face turned red.
Sister-in-law Chi couldn't bear to watch any longer and went to help her mother up, saying, "Father, why are you yelling at my mother like that? Li Mingrong being a scoundrel is Li Mingrong's business!"
Since their daughter was now part of another family, and especially since they owed the Chi family so many favors, Old Man Li didn't say anything.
After a hasty burial of Old Mrs. Li, the group continued on their journey.
sad?
Where would I find the time?
At this point, escaping is the most important thing.
The dangers in the deep mountains and dense forests are no less than those outside, so they must hurry out.
In the following days, the Li family members did not smile much, and the group hurried on their way.
Adults are fine, but children can't handle it.
First, Shiro had a recurring low-grade fever. After Chitang secretly took some antipyretics, Shiro recovered after taking them for several days.
Then Little Lock and Goro kept coughing.
The adults were also very tired.
To make matters worse, Sister-in-law Chi suddenly got her period and fainted from exhaustion.
The group was forced to stop and rest.
Chi Dashan found a relatively flat spot, set up a small tent, laid out bedding, and let Chi Dasao lie down and rest.
Aunt Chi went to fetch water and boiled some hot water.
Besides wiping their bodies, the most important thing was to drink hot water.
Guan Wu picked some wild pears from the surrounding area. Although they were a bit sour and astringent, they were perfect for making a pot of rock sugar pear stew to relieve inflammation and reduce internal heat.
