Chapter 271 Pretend to Die 3
Wu Feifei and Su Lao knew that they were lucky to have met kind people.
Apart from the hard work, at least they could have enough food to eat, and the food was given to them secretly. Even if you are sick, there are people to see you and give you medicine to take. I heard that in other places, even if you die of illness, no one will care.
"Mr. Su, there's no need to thank me. Let me apply medicine on you. A sprain is still an injury. Although it's not as serious as a broken bone, it can't be underestimated. Comrade Wu, you really can only lie down. Otherwise, even a god can't save you."
"I'll listen to you." Wu Feifei said.
"Mom, my sister told you to lie down, so just lie down. Tell me what you want and I'll get it for you." The little boy is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
"Mr. Su, you are so old, but you have to do such heavy work. You can't bear it for a long time. Why don't you go to the mountains with us and take care of Comrade Wu. When you are better, you can come out together." Yi Ke suggested.
"Will it arouse suspicion if two people disappear at once?" said Mr. Su.
"Of course they suspect you, but they can't find any evidence to prove that you're alive, right? Think about it carefully." Yi Ke didn't try to persuade him. He told her that she had to figure things out on her own.
Yike applied medicine on Mr. Su's feet and left. He took a walk around the village before going home.
Because she was preoccupied with things, Yike was absent-minded the whole day. When she finally made it to the evening, she became even more nervous.
"Go to sleep, a good night's sleep will make you feel better. I'll call you again in the middle of the night, and we'll go pick them up at midnight." Ziyi patted Yike's back gently.
Yike nestled in Ziyi's arms and slowly fell asleep.
"Wife, wake up. It's three o'clock. Get up." Ziyi shook Yike.
Yike was sleeping soundly when Ziyi woke him up and muttered, "It's only three o'clock in the middle of the night, why are you up?" After he said that, Yike suddenly remembered and opened his eyes immediately.
"I'm awake and I remember now." Ziyi asked while getting dressed.
"Yeah, I remember now." Yike also quickly put on his clothes.
The moon is bright tonight and can be seen without a flashlight. The two men arrived at the cowshed and knocked on the broken wooden door.
"Ziyi, Yike, you are here." Comrade Ye came out, opened the door, and greeted them in a low voice.
"Well, are you all ready?" Ziyi also asked in a low voice.
"I'm ready."
"good."
The two men entered the cowshed and found that no one was asleep. Everyone was sitting in Wu Feifei's room.
Wu Feifei whispered, "Ziyi, Yike, you are here, I am ready."
"Then let's go." Ziyi nodded to the other people in the room, and everyone nodded and greeted them.
"Ziyi, I'll go with you too. There's nothing unusual about working outside, except for the fighting. Well, I'll just be a deserter." Old Su said in a low voice.
"Okay, this is not desertion, this is a wise move. Isn't there a strategy among the Thirty-Six Strategies called running away? In your current situation, this is the best strategy." Ziyi comforted.
"Yes, yes, we are at a disadvantage now, so it is better to choose this strategy. Ziyi, I feel better after hearing what you said." Tears flashed in Old Su's eyes.
"Ziyi, Yike, I'll ask you to take good care of them." Comrade Ye said, and the other two comrades echoed him.
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Lin, Xiao Huang, now that we're gone, the three of you may have a hard time these days. I'm sorry, we agreed to help and accompany each other, but we broke our promise." Old Su's voice choked with sobs.
"Mr. Su, there's nothing we can do about it. You're old, so it's best if you can avoid it. We're still young and can still handle it."
"Let's go. It will be dawn soon." Yike urged.
"Okay, then don't come out, in case someone finds you." Ziyi held the sleeping Xu Chaoqun, Yike supported Su Lao, and Wu Feifei took a simple bag.
"Wait a minute, you're still holding the bag. Doesn't this tell others that you're running away? Who would carry a bag when jumping into a river?" Yi Ke said.
"That's right, you put the bundle there, and put one or two pieces of clothes in it, and also put one or two pieces of clothes for the children, otherwise it will be exposed." said Mr. Su.
After that, Su Lao also took down his bag to put his clothes. Ziyi said, "Don't take any of your bags. Don't take any clothes except money. Your luggage has been checked. If there is anything missing, you will find it once you check it. So you can't take anything except what you are wearing."
"What should we do if we don't have any change of clothes when we go into the mountains?" Wu Feifei asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, we will prepare these for you. What you have to do now is not to leave any trace of suspicion." Ziyi said.
"Okay." The two put their bags back to their original state, then said goodbye to the other three and left.
Yike took the child and went home first with Su Lao. Ziyi put on Su Lao's shoes and walked to the river with Wu Feifei, and then returned from another direction when they returned home.
Yike brought Su Lao into the main room. Neither of them turned on the lights, but sat on the stools waiting anxiously.
A very light sound of footsteps was heard in the courtyard. Yike stood up holding Xiao Chaoqun, and Su Lao also stood up. In fact, he did not hear the footsteps.
Ziyi and Wu Feifei brought Weilu in. No one said anything. Ziyi closed the door to the main room. Then he took advantage of the flashlight and led everyone to the kitchen.
Arriving at the kitchen, Ziyi pushed open the cupboard and opened the secret door. "Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs and light the lamp."
Ziyi went down, and Mr. Su and Wu Feifei were still in shock and had not yet recovered.
"Mr. Su, please come down first, and go slowly." After Ziyi lit the lamp, it became bright downstairs.
"Mr. Su." Yi Ke pushed Mr. Su, and Mr. Su came to his senses and went down the stairs carefully.
After Mr. Su went down, Wu Feifei followed him down. Finally, Ziyi came up and carried Xu Chaoqun down, and Yike also followed him down.
After going down, Yike walked in front with a flashlight, Wu Feifei followed with a lantern, and Su Lao and Ziyi were at the end. They walked through a long passage and finally came to the cellar in the mountains.
Only when he got here did Yike dare to speak loudly.
"We're here, Mr. Su, Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu, I'll call you Aunt Wu from now on. It's not customary to call each other comrades in the mountains." Yi Ke said as he lit the oil lamp.
"Okay, call me Aunt Wu." Wu Feifei said happily.
"Ziyi, Yike, don't call me Old Su anymore. Just call me Grandpa Su. I actually want to take Yike as my goddaughter, but my status is not suitable. Alas, if it were in the past, I would definitely take you as my goddaughter."
"Grandpa, you are my grandpa now, and it just so happens that I don't have a grandpa." Yike forgot that he had a biological grandfather in Kyoto, and only remembered that the grandfather in Hanjiagou Village had died.
"Haha, okay, if you don't mind, then I will be your grandfather." Old Su said happily.
Yi Ke's family tree has a new godfather...
