The ancient mythical beast quickly wears a cruel and ruthless
Chapter 103 The Tragedy of a Small Peasant Girl Fleeing Famine (4)
As the sky gradually brightened, the headman's son shouted at the entrance of the village, "Hurry up, hurry up, get ready to go!"
"Shuangshuang, let's hurry up!"
Upon hearing this, Third Grandma helped push the wheelbarrow with one hand and headed towards the village entrance.
A quarter of an hour later, the headman's son began to count the number of people, but found that Mrs. Xu's family was missing.
He looked at Su Li who was standing next to Third Grandma, "Daya, where are your mother and grandmother?"
Su Li shook his head and said nothing.
The original body had hardly spoken since the death of his father, Boss Xu, and the entire Xujia Village knew about this.
The son of the village head didn't care and said to his brother next to him, "Dazhu, go and take a look. If they don't want to leave, forget it. We can just wait for another stick of incense at most!"
Xu Dazhu nodded and ran towards Old Lady Xu's house.
Just after an incense stick of time, Old Lady Xu, holding her two precious grandchildren, sat on the cart and yelled, "Hurry up, hurry up, we're going to miss it!"
Zhang Guixiang was pushing a cart with a sweaty face, followed by Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan's family.
"What's wrong with you? You made the whole village wait for your family!"
When they came closer, the village head knocked on the ground with his crutch to express his dissatisfaction.
"I want to go faster too! Unfortunately, I am a wife who is so slow even when pushing a cart. What can I do?"
Old Mrs. Xu held her head high and spoke confidently.
"Your eldest daughter-in-law is not the only one in your family. Xu Er and Xu San are both fathers and strong laborers. Why are you following me with nothing?"
The head of the village looked at the cart, which was filled with other things besides Old Lady Xu, and then looked at Zhang Guixiang, who was sweating all over her face, and said to Old Lady Xu unhappily.
"Hey, why are you staring at my eldest daughter-in-law? If you like her, how about paying ten taels of silver and taking her back to be a maid?"
Seeing the head of the village staring at Zhang Guixiang, Old Lady Xu looked at him with sarcasm on her face, "She is a jinx. I am already lucky that I didn't chase her away! What's wrong with letting her push a cart? How can I bear to let my two sons push a cart?"
Zhang Guixiang wiped the sweat off her face and said to the head of the village humbly, "Thank you, head of the village. I'm fine!"
Su Li stood not far away, looking at Zhang Guixiang with disdain in his eyes.
This kind of woman really doesn't deserve sympathy!
There is no mother in the world who doesn't protect her children, but she abandoned her three children just for herself. She deserves to be tortured by the old hag!
"Let's go! Let's go south. There's plenty of water there, so there shouldn't be any drought. And those soldiers can't attack there!"
The head of the village shouted and led the people of Xujia Village towards the south!
It was almost noon when the group from Xujia Village arrived at the edge of the town.
The head of the village looked at everyone and said, "I know that many of you have no food at home now! I have asked around and there are still a few food vendors in this town. If you have money, you can go and buy some! There is also water. Go buy a few water bags and take them with you!"
After hearing what the head of the village said, those who had money in their hands hurried to the town.
The food supply was fine. Some people had some sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes hidden in their home cellars, and they brought them out this time.
But the issue of water source was really not taken into consideration!
Therefore, most of them go to buy water bags and see where they can get water!
Farmers basically use jars and pots to store water at home. These things are too heavy and easy to break, so few people carry them with them.
Third Grandma looked at her bag and shook her head helplessly, "Shuangshuang, Third Grandma should also buy some millet and water bags, otherwise we won't even have water to drink on the road!"
She quietly took out a banknote from her bag, then handed the bag to Su Li, "Please keep an eye on it, Third Madam!"
"Well, Third Grandma, go ahead!"
Su Li nodded slightly, took the bag from her hand and put it on his back.
There were still some gold and silver jewelry, countless rice, flour, grain, oil, etc., as well as various kinds of meat left in her own companion space, but there was no chance to take them out now.
Let’s talk about it after we leave the town!
Half an hour later, people who went to the town to buy things came back one after another.
"Emma, why is food so expensive? Three taels of silver is only one bushel of millet. The silver I have saved over the past few years can only buy two or three bushels of millet?"
"It's still old rice! When we sold it to them, it was only a few coins per bushel!"
"That's right, these black-hearted businessmen!"
The people of Xujia Village said indignantly, "Even a water bag costs one or two taels of silver, why don't they just rob it?"
Third Grandma also came back soon after.
She carried about ten kilograms of millet and three or four water bags on her back.
Su Li waited for her to come closer, then quickly took it and tied Xiaomi to the handlebars of the wheelbarrow so that Xu Xiaobao could also lean on it.
She also hung the water bag on the handlebars of the unicycle.
"Shuangshuang, let Third Grandma carry the bag!"
After taking the bag, Third Grandma put it back on her back.
Su Li took a look at the slightly crowded wheelbarrow, tore off half of the bed sheet, and carried Xu Erya, who was fixed to the wheelbarrow, on her back, leaving Xu Xiaobao sitting next to Xiaomi.
And the entire unicycle doesn’t seem crowded anymore!
"Shuangshuang, why don't you let Third Grandma hold Erya?"
Grandma San felt a little distressed when she saw the little girl carrying a swaddled baby on her tiny body and pushing a stroller.
"Third Grandma, it's okay. I told you, I'm very strong!"
Su Li smiled at her in a low voice.
"Have they come back? If so, let's set off! Hurry and find a place to stay before dark!"
The head of the village shouted and everyone continued on their way.
Third Grandma took out two steamed buns made of mixed flour from her bosom and said, "Shuangshuang, you didn't have breakfast yet! I just saw someone selling steamed buns and bought a few. Come and eat them!"
"Thank you, Third Grandma!"
Su Li smiled at her and planned to prepare some delicious food for her and Third Grandma tonight.
Over there with Old Lady Xu.
It was still Old Lady Xu, holding her two grandsons, aged four or five, sitting on the cart, with a large bag of sweet potatoes and a can full of water on the cart.
Zhang Guixiang was dragging a cart laboriously and following the team from Xujia Village.
Old Mrs. Xu's two sons, one holding his daughter and the other carrying a bag of clothes and food, followed leisurely behind.
"Mom, I really can't drag it anymore. How about you ask your second and third uncles to help?"
Zhang Guixiang turned and said to Old Mrs. Xu on the cart.
"Can't drag it? If you can't drag it, go call that damn girl for help!"
Old Mrs. Xu pouted and looked at Su Li who was pushing the wheelbarrow with displeasure.
So Zhang Guixiang yelled at the top of her voice, "Daya, come and give me a hand!"
"Can't you see that there are so many people following you? So many people are fighting empty-handed, and you want the little girl who is pushing Xiaobao and carrying Erya to lend a hand?"
Before Su Li could say anything, Third Grandma came to her defense, "Didn't you hear what your mother-in-law said this morning? Now the three siblings are under my care. You have no right to order her to work!"
