As soon as the little guys saw the snacks, they couldn't take their eyes off them. They felt that they were more precious than any silver bills or gold.
"Wow, snacks! They look so good!" Lin Wu said as he leaned forward, closed his eyes, and sniffed in ecstasy, "And they smell so good!"
Little Lingling was also a little excited. It had been a long time since she had eaten such delicious snacks. For a moment, she was a little impatient and blinked her big eyes at Zhao.
"Grandma, grandma, can we eat now? Can we eat now? It smells so good! I can't help it!"
Zhao was speechless for a moment. "Didn't you just drink porridge? Are you not full?"
Little Bell shook her head mysteriously, "No, I'm full, but I can still have some snacks. I'm not full yet!"
Zhao choked and didn't know what to say, but considering that they had just eaten, she was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable after eating too much, so she gave each of them a piece.
"Here, each of you can have one portion, and you can eat the rest at noon. We are traveling in a carriage now, and you are not active. Be careful not to eat too much and get an upset stomach!"
Fortunately, the children were easy to coax. They treasured every piece they had and held it in both hands, reluctant to eat it for a while.
But it was different for Xiao Lingling. While others were reluctant to eat it, she couldn't resist. After thinking for a while, she took a big bite and ate most of the snack which was the size of her palm.
This made Zhao stunned. Afraid that she would choke, she quickly poured her a glass of water. "Hey my silly girl, why are you eating so fast? No one is competing with you for it, be careful not to choke!"
As soon as Zhao finished speaking, the carriage suddenly shook violently and then stopped.
Little Bell was fine at first, but after being shocked, she subconsciously swallowed. As a result, she was overjoyed and actually choked...
Xiao Lingdang's face flushed red from choking, and she kept slapping her chest with her hands. Zhao was also startled, and she immediately picked her up, letting Xiao Lingdang lie on her lap, and slapped her back a few times with her big hands.
After struggling for a long time, the snack that Xiao Lingling was choking on finally loosened up and she slowly coughed it out. However, Xiao Lingling was still in pain and was crying and sneezing.
This made Zhao very distressed. She hugged little bell to comfort her, but she was also angry. She opened the window to ask what was going on, but when she saw what was going on, she was dumbfounded.
"Old man, this is..."
Lin Changshu came back to his senses after hearing her shout. Looking at the piles of white bones on both sides of the road, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to move.
"Old woman, you, don't come out, don't scare the children, I'll go see what's going on!"
Zhao was a little worried, but she was worried that the child hadn't gone down, so she called out to Lin Yue behind her, "Boss, come down and quickly accompany your father to see what's going on."
Xiao Lingling had just recovered and was a little confused. She was a lucky fish, so how could she have almost choked to death?
In addition, grandma's expression was indeed not right. She wanted to peek out of the window, but Zhao pressed her head back.
"You can't look around! Just sit still and behave. There are adults here, and we don't need you to show off!"
Little Bell was unwilling to give up. "Grandma, I'm different, don't you know that? I, I'll just take a look!"
Zhao hesitated for a moment, but when she thought of the scene she had just seen, she shook her head decisively.
"No! No matter what, this is unacceptable. You're still a two-and-a-half-year-old baby. Other things are fine, but this one is non-negotiable! Just be good!"
Xiao Lingling was a little disappointed, but she had a vague suspicion in her heart. After all, anything that could cause such a big reaction from Zhao must be something serious. If there was anything that could interfere with her luck, it would probably be something like evil spirits or death spirits.
But what grandma said was right. She is still young. If she encounters it now, she will be powerless even if she wants to. It is better to turn a blind eye.
After figuring it out, Xiao Lingling stopped worrying about it, sat obediently aside, and continued to drink a large glass of water.
Lin Yue had just seen it and was comforting his frightened wife and sister-in-law. When he heard Zhao's voice, he just happened to walk over.
"Don't worry, Mom. Dad and I will go check it out. You guys don't have to come down."
Having said that, Lin Yue went to chase Lin Changshu, but when he got closer, he found it even more terrifying.
There are many corpses on both sides of the road. Most of them have turned into white bones. Some still have some flesh and internal organs left, but because of the long time, they have begun to rot and the smell they emit is really unpleasant.
Lin Yue stepped forward to take a look. From the remaining limbs, he could see traces of being bitten by wild beasts. He immediately felt a chill on his back.
"Dad, hurry up and leave! There are wild beasts around here. There are bite marks on their bodies. We don't know how they died, but we have to protect ourselves first!"
When Lin Changshu heard about the wild beast, he didn't dare to delay any longer. "Okay, okay, hurry up and clear the road. Let's go!"
The father and son picked up some sturdy branches from the side and started to clear the bones blocking the road. They were quite fast. After they finished cleaning up, they threw the branches away and immediately got back to the car to prepare to set off.
Lin Changhe, who was a little behind, was about to get off to ask what was going on, but when he saw the carriage in front started moving, he didn't get off. But when their carriage passed by, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
After that, Lin Changshu did not dare to stop at all along the way, for fear that some wild beast would catch up with him. Moreover, he drove so fast that even the donkey cart at the back almost couldn't catch up.
Little Lingling was originally a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap, but the speed was so fast and the ride was a bit bumpy that she almost hit her head several times. She didn't dare to sleep for a while and forced herself to learn to read with her brothers.
This was a course arranged by Mrs. Zhao in order to divert the children's attention and kill some time. Otherwise, they would be unable to hold back if they were trapped in this small carriage.
However, when it came to writing, Xiao Lingling started to have a headache. She really didn't understand why it took so many strokes to write a single character. It must be so tiring.
Originally, she actually knew how to read. After all, she could understand who was offering sacrifices, what their names were, what their wishes were, and what was written. But she had never written anything.
She originally thought it was not difficult, but when she really picked up the pen and started writing, she realized what kind of torture it was.
Finally, when she wrote a word ten times and each time was completely different, she lost her patience.
