Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

By morning, we were finally far away from Yang Bi's army.

The team stopped to rest again, and the former army sent a quartermaster to check the supplies.

Shake out all the luggage from the hands of the family members accompanying the army, and confiscate all food, supplies and money. The soles in the Su family's package were roughly snatched away by the soldiers.

The aunt wanted to go up and grab it, but was held back by Su Qingyu and others.

Some people in the team sobbed softly, and some cursed softly, but to no avail. The soldiers were very rude, and the few taels of silver Su Qingyu had put in her backpack were confiscated.

Fortunately, she used it to deceive others.

Looking at the soldiers walking away with supplies on their backs, Su Qingyu's eyes were heavy. It must be because of this wave of escape, a lot of food, wages and supplies were lost on the road. It must be that the team is short of food and supplies.

Sure enough, by lunch time, except for the men, there was still half a bowl of cereal porridge, and the women and children only made up for the bottom.

How can I be full? But there was no way, the gang leader even scraped the bottom of the pot clean.

At night, the women and children even had no more food at the bottom of the bowl. The team suddenly started shouting. The sky is big and the earth is big, and food is the most important thing for the people. If you can't even eat, what else can you do?

The crowd was furious and gathered around the gang leader.

The leader was also helpless. He spread his hands and held up the pots for everyone to see. He said that the quartermaster only allocated so much, and he couldn't make more for everyone. Why not let everyone eat if they could have enough? He didn't care. Hide, how much can you hide?

Everyone didn't believe it, so they all rushed towards the military supplies office. But without even meeting the quartermaster, he was stopped by soldiers armed with swords and guns, telling them that the army was out of food.

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.

Everyone has been starving since noon and has been following the team on the road without stopping. They just want to have a full meal in the evening and just keep moving forward. It's hard to wait until night, but you told me that the army is out of food?

Su Qingyu was okay. When she couldn't stand it anymore, she stuffed some food into her mouth. What is taken from the system cannot be seen by others.

But her family hasn’t eaten yet. She was the only one who had enough to eat on this journey, so she was the one driving the car and protecting everyone. She thought that there might be something to eat in the evening, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't even have the little food at the bottom of the bowl at night.

The four of them, Su's father, uncle, Da Jiang and Dahu, were given half a bowl of grain porridge. When they returned to their resting place after eating, they heard that the women and children had not eaten dinner and that the army had no food to eat. They all wanted to vomit the porridge they had just eaten. come out.

What to do?

The adults are okay, but the children can't stand being hungry. Su's father and others looked at their children with pain and discomfort in their hearts. I felt that the half bowl of porridge I just ate was a sin.

Seeing the children getting thinner and thinner makes me feel uncomfortable.

Everyone was silent. Lu Xiaobao suddenly howled, raised his little face and shouted to Su Qingnao: "Hungry!"

Su Qingyu almost burst into tears.

A few days ago, this child was able to jump out one word after another, but no one was in the mood to tease him and he didn't speak for a while. Now he howled and said he was hungry...

Su Qingyao's tears hadn't even rolled out yet, Su's father, Su's mother and others had already shed tears.

"God, there is no way for anyone to survive! Grandma's dear grandson, what should I do?" Su's mother hugged Lu Xiaobao and howled along with him.

Lu Xiaobao's howl seemed to open a valve, and the cry of adults and children immediately rang out in the team.

It got louder and louder, clear and shrill in the dark night, startling many birds resting in the forest at night.

Su Qingyu looked at the family members who were hugging each other and crying together. She raised her head and blinked away the tears. Suddenly he walked towards the cart, pulled out a long knife from the crack, and walked towards the old cow at home...

Su Dahu followed her with his eyes. Seeing her movements, he immediately followed her, grabbed her long knife, and looked at her steadily: "I'll do it."

The two looked at each other and walked towards the old cow lying on the ground resting.

Su's father and others also noticed their movements and screamed: "Qing Lao! What are you going to do!"

"You can't kill him! If you kill Lao Niu, what will happen to the children? They won't be able to walk!" Mother Su rushed forward in a hurry.

My uncle and others who caught up were also extremely anxious.

Su Qingyu knelt down and stroked the old cow's body. The old cow's body rose and fell with its breathing, and its tentacles were warm, making it very comfortable to touch. I followed them all the way, working hard without complaint, carrying their adults, children and luggage, without rest every day, without even losing my temper...

Because of Su Qingyu's touch, Lao Niu turned to look at her.

The two big eyes were as clean as water, and they were as bright as a deep spring. Su Qingyu looked at it and saw tears streaming from its eyes.

Su Qingyu was shocked, her hands stopped, and she immediately fell on the old cow and cried.

Qingyang Qingxing and other children also threw themselves on the cow and cried.

Lu Xiaobao also held the bull's head and howled uncontrollably.

When the Su family gathered around the cow, no one could help but shed tears.

Su's father, Su's mother, uncle and aunt loved this old cow the most. If a farmer has a cow at home, he is as happy as anything. He regards the cow as his life follower and is reluctant to bear with it. Seeing it being affected makes my heart ache. If I could give it some strength, I would never put any more pressure on it.

At this time, Su's mother cried and begged Su Qingyu: "Qingyu, maybe after tomorrow, there will be food in the army. We can endure it. We will not die of hunger even if we don't eat for a day."

"Sister, we are not hungry, we don't eat cows, we won't eat it." Qingxing and Qingyang cried and rushed over to beg, but they all said they were not hungry.

Xiao Jinhai also pulled the cow's tail and held it in his arms, saying that he was not hungry and did not want to eat the cow.

Su Qingnao couldn't bear to leave Lao Niu. She just saw Lao Niu crying and felt like a sinner.

She couldn't do it either.

But if she doesn't take action, others will. If there is no food in the army, it will be food in other people's mouths. They are all staring at it.

"Let me do it."

Su Qingyu turned around after hearing the voice and saw Huang Shenzhi standing behind them with an indifferent expression.

"Let me do it."

Seeing him saying something else, Su Qingyu hurriedly stood up, took the long knife from Su Dahu's hand, and handed it to him. She turned around and looked at the old cow again, and saw that it was also looking at her...

Su Qingyu felt a pain in her heart and walked away quickly.

When the Su family saw Huang Shenzhi approaching with a knife, they couldn't bear to look at it. They took a few children and ran away, everyone crying as they walked.

Su Qingyu walked out for a long time, until she could no longer hear the sound from the old cow, then she leaned against a tree trunk, let her body slide down, knelt on the ground and cried.

If Lao Niu died, she didn't know what would happen to her. The Su family, Su's father and mother, the twins, Lu Xiaobao... I don't know what will happen to them, and what will happen to them in the future.

She didn't know why she was here, why she couldn't even eat...
