The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 257 The Vicious Female Supporting Flees to Farm (7)

Seeing Xu Yin eating with hot water, the other households pursed their lips and built a fire in a circle. They gathered firewood nearby.

The sky is dry and dry, so it is easy to pick up dead grass and branches in the nearby fields, but they are not as resistant to burning as Xu Yin's old wooden stakes.

Fortunately, there are a lot of them, at least there are five or six people, one or two are left to look after the luggage, find stones to build an earthen stove, and the others go out to collect firewood, and go back and forth a few times, which is enough for tonight.

Xu Yin was observing them from the corner of her eye, and they were also sneaking glances at Xu Yin.

The head of one of the households came over to talk to Xu Yin: "Little brother, where are you going? Don't get me wrong, I just want to ask if we are on the same road. My family is planning to go to Dongxuan Mansion to join relatives. The road, this road can also have a mutual support."

Xu Yin's heart moved slightly: Dongxuan Mansion?That should be to the east.

"I originally wanted to go to the south." She pondered for a moment and said.

"Nanling Mansion? That's in the same direction as them. Sigh, I thought I could have more companions." The middle-aged man sighed with a smile.

The two families were not far away, so they heard it naturally, and raised their voice to ask Xu Yin: "Little brother, you also went to Nanling Mansion? That happens to be together."

Of these two families, one went to Nanling Mansion to join his in-laws nephew;

"No." Xu Yin smiled and shook her head, "I just wanted to say that I originally planned to go to Nanling Mansion, but I suddenly remembered that my family has a distant relative in Dongxuan Mansion, but I don't know where he lives, so I'm hesitating. "

She saw that there were many families in those two families. In addition to brothers and sisters, there were also cousins ​​and in-laws. There were more than 20 people in the two families.

In case something bad happens along the way, it's okay for her to protect herself, but there are still two cubs, and if she makes a mistake, she will regret it too late.

If you really want to be together, you should choose a family with few people and a simple family structure.

"Hi! What's the matter!" The middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning said, "When we arrive at Dongxuanfu City, I'll ask my relative to inquire for you."

Xu Yin took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you, Big Brother!"

"What's your surname, little brother?" The other party introduced the five members of the family when he saw a new companion, "My name is Wang Daniu, and the ones who lit the fire were me, Mrs. Feng and the eldest daughter-in-law, who were my father and my two sons. "

Xu Yin cupped his hands: "Hi Brother Wang, my name is Xu Yingxiong, and this is my second brother and third sister."

"..."

Hearing the name she said casually, Erlang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Xu Yin continued: "We also have an elder brother who is fighting at the border. He received a letter from his family a few days ago, and he has made meritorious service! It's a pity that he won't be able to return to his hometown until the next year. Now the family is poor and can't even drink saliva. Brothers and sisters first go elsewhere to find a way out."

Hearing that he has made great achievements in war, everyone is very envious.

These days, apart from being a scholar and being an official, there is another shortcut to being promoted to rank and title, which is to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

But swords and guns have no eyes, and it would be nice to come back alive. Those who have killed the enemy and made meritorious service are still alive, which is really rare.

"It will be easier when your elder brother comes back!" Wang Daniu comforted, "If you can get a job as an official by beheading the leader of the enemy army, you brothers and sisters will make it through!"

Xu Yin just wanted to give them such a hint: My family has an elder brother who is about to become an official. If you have any bad thoughts, please weigh them first.

Unexpectedly, Erlang and Third Sister took it seriously. When they slept next to her that night, they asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, did Big Brother really kill the enemy and become a general?"

"Hush—" Xu Yin blinked at the two of them, "Did you forget what I said?"

"……elder brother."

"Right! Don't call me wrong in the future! As for your brother, you will know when he comes back."

Erlang immediately understood: sister-in-law is lying to others, just like her name is "Xu Yingxiong".

The third sister was still a little ignorant, and asked in a waxy voice, "When will big brother come back?"

"next year."

"When is next year?"

"...Is it the end of the new year? It depends on how fast he is on his way."

"Brother walks very fast."

"……OK."

"..."

It can be regarded as coaxing the two little ones.

Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as I relaxed, I felt an indescribable pain on the soles of my feet. I took off my shoes and socks, and there were several blisters.

It's true that she possesses supernatural power, but after all, she is not an iron cloth shirt with a golden bell cover!

Xu Yin bared her teeth, and with the flickering light of the fire, she burst the blisters one by one, and sterilized them with an iodine cotton swab before exhaling slowly.

The belt on the chest was slightly loosened, it was so hot and tight, it was really uncomfortable, and it was not an easy job for a woman to dress up as a man!
Before dawn the next day, Xu Yin woke up.

She barely closed her eyes last night.

At first it was uncomfortably hot, but in the middle of the night when the bonfire was extinguished to cool off, people felt sleepy, but they couldn't help worrying about accidents, so they kept watch over the siblings all night.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight.

She yawned, turned her back, rinsed her mouth and drank water, and quietly filled the gourd by six or seven cents.

When the charcoal fire was about to go out last night, she threw a few sweet potatoes into it.

It was still warm to the touch at the moment, so I peeled off the scorched skin and ate one.The rest was reserved for Erlang and Third Sister.

"Little brother, do you think we should hurry up? It will be hot again after the sun comes out. I would rather find a place to rest at noon."

Wang Daniu's proposal was exactly what Xu Yin wanted.

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll pack it up now."

She carried the two children into the cart, and seeing that they were sleepy, she said, "If you are sleepy, lie down on the rice bag and sleep for a while."

She stuffed sweet potatoes and gourds at Erlang's feet, pushed the cart and set off.

Those two families who were going to Nanling Mansion left at noon to go to the south mountain road. To take a shortcut to Nanling Mansion, they had to climb over a big mountain.

Xu Yin and Wang Daniu's family continued to walk eastward through the vast wilderness. They didn't chat much along the way to save energy and saliva.

Drinking water is almost bottomed out.

Wang Daniu has been paying attention to the water source along the way. There are only two skin bags and one bamboo tube for his family of six.

It's hot again, after two days, no matter how much you drink, you will see the bottom.

Xu Yin is also paying attention.

At this time, she saw a village in front of her, and there were smoke from the roofs of several houses in the village.

"Brother Wang, which village is ahead?"

"Dadu Village." Wang Daniu thought for a while, "Many years ago, a rich man with a bodhisattva heart came out of their village. He dug two wells for the village, one at the head of the village and one at the end of the village. Maybe their village still has no water supply."

"Go! Let's take a look!"

Hearing that there is water, the group cheered up.

Even if the well water in Dadu Village had dried up, there was still a motivation to look forward to plum blossoms and quench their thirst at this moment to support them.

It is true that the water supply in Dadu Village has not yet been cut off, but it is almost the same.

The water coming out of the two wells at the head of the village and the end of the village is getting less and less. Even if the buckets are connected to a very long rope, they can’t pump much water this morning.

So the villagers discussed to cook a last meal and take dry food to escape the disaster elsewhere.

After Xu Yin and his party arrived, they probed the ancient well that was about to bottom out, and their full of longing was replaced by disappointment.
