The woman looked up and saw that her dead husband had already run away.
It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. This man didn't even want his own son at the critical moment. That son was the lifeblood of the Li family.
Seeing the people on the other side of the cave getting closer and closer, Li Huaer was so anxious that she was sweating all over.
"Mom, my dad doesn't care about my brother anymore. You can't do anything about him even if you want to. When my dad runs away, he'll naturally find someone to give birth to a son for him. If you stay here, you might even lose your life. What can you do?"
After Li Huaer finished speaking, she let go of the woman's hand and ran away.
This sentence immediately woke the woman up.
If you lose your child, you can have another one, but if you lose yourself, you lose everything.
The situation was urgent, so whoever could survive was a survivor. He could find another opportunity to save his son later. If he couldn't, he could still seek revenge. But that presupposed that he was still alive!
After figuring this out, Li Huaer's mother also ran as fast as she could.
The people chasing them saw that the three men had quickly disappeared. They also learned from other people they had captured that the three men had no food on them, so they gave up the pursuit.
"What a pity! I heard there was a young woman among the three."
"We have plenty of women here, so we don't need this one. They are lucky to have escaped. Let's go back."
Li Huaer and the other two ran for several miles in one breath. Seeing that no one was chasing them, they stopped and stood there panting heavily.
"Hua, Hua'er, is there anyone chasing us?"
Li Zhuzi slumped on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Li Huaer felt a little disdainful of Li Zhuzi's appearance.
"No."
"Phew, that's good, that's good."
Not long after the two of them sat down, Li Huaer's mother followed.
"Li Zhuzi, you are so heartless! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. That's your son, and you didn't even try to save him!"
After the woman finished speaking, she rushed towards Li Zhuzi, crying and scratching Li Zhuzi's body and face.
Li Zhuzi didn't pay attention for a moment and was scratched on the face by the woman's claws, and blood flowed out instantly.
"What are you doing? Stop it! If you don't stop, I'm going to do it."
Li Zhuzi said angrily and subconsciously pushed the woman away.
The woman did not expect Li Zhuzi to attack her, and was caught off guard and fell backwards.
Li Zhuzi raised his hand and touched his face.
"Blood! You stinky bitch, you actually dared to fight with your man, are you tired of living?"
"mother?"
Li Huaer was sitting on the ground. Before she could react to the quarrel between her parents, she saw her mother falling to the ground.
Li Zhuzi was scratched on the face and was furious. When he heard Li Huaer calling for her mother, he spoke impatiently.
"What are you shouting about? What are you shouting about? Come here and help your father look at his face."
Li Huaer ignored Li Zhuzi and stepped forward to shake the woman's body.
The woman was still lying on the ground without moving. Li Huaer panicked.
"Dad, stop looking at your face. Come and look at my mother. She's not moving."
Li Zhuzi's hand that was touching his face stopped.
"No way. I just pushed her. I didn't do anything to her."
He said he didn't believe it, but he still approached the woman and pushed her.
"Get up, stop playing dead for me."
The woman still didn't move.
Seeing this, the father and daughter became panicked.
Li Zhuzi raised his hand and probed towards the woman's nostrils, then suddenly withdrew his hand.
"Hua, Hua'er, you, look, your mother, is she dead?"
Li Huaer was so frightened by Li Zhuzi's words that she fell to the ground.
"Come and take a look. Dad, I didn't do anything to her. You were right there just now, so you have to testify for me."
Li Huaer bravely stretched out a finger and probed the woman's nostrils.
"Dad, you, you killed someone, you killed my mother!"
After hearing this, Li Zhuzi panicked instantly.
"No, that's impossible. I just pushed her. How could she die?"
The woman's head wasn't hit, there was no blood on the ground, and there weren't even any wounds on her body. Li Zhuzi couldn't understand how this person could just disappear.
Li Huaer shook her head.
"No, I don't know. I don't know anything."
The father and daughter were both stunned. They couldn't believe how a person who was so alive and kicking just a moment ago could suddenly die in front of them.
"Hua'er, you, you clearly saw everything just now. Dad didn't kill anyone. Dad doesn't want to go to jail. You have to testify for Dad."
After a long while, Li Huaer finally calmed down.
"Dad, how could Mom die suddenly? This is too strange."
Li Zhuzi didn't understand either. If he knew the reason, he wouldn't be so panicked now.
"Hua'er, do you think it's because the weather is too hot and your mother ran such a long distance that she got heatstroke?"
Li Huaer frowned.
It's really possible.
My brother was kidnapped, and I was so angry, and because of the weather, I couldn't breathe. Isn't this what happened?
“Dad, you…”
Before Li Huaer could finish her words, Li Zhuzi started crying with tears and snot.
"Hua'er, you've lost your mother now. Your grandparents don't know what's going on. If your father goes to jail again, you'll be left alone."
"Help Dad, Hua'er. Dad doesn't want to go to jail."
Li Huaer frowned.
Now that we are fleeing famine, it is normal for someone to die on the road. I don't know what my own father is crying and howling about!
Besides, this person is dead and cannot be resurrected! What's the point of him crying to me?
"Dad! What's the point of crying now? Think about what my mother will do."
In this desolate place, there is not even a straw mat, let alone a coffin.
All my things are at my grandparents' place. I have no idea what the situation is there, let alone where to get tools.
Li Zhuzi looked at Li Huaer with an aggrieved look.
"Hua'er, Daddy, Daddy will listen to you, all the time!"
Li Huaer looked around. Her mother was gone, and she had no tools, so she couldn't even dig a hole.
"Dad, how about you carry my mother's body on your back, and when we find the village chief and the others, we can borrow some tools from them and dig a hole to bury her?"
Li Huaer couldn't be calmer at this moment.
My mother has always favored my younger brother since he was born. Even in such a dangerous situation today, she still went back to save him. I have been dissatisfied with her for a long time.
But no matter how dissatisfied I was, I never thought of taking her life.
"How can this be possible?"
Li Huaer glared at Li Zhuzi.
"Why not? My mother's death is related to you, and you're not willing to carry her on your back?"
