Brother of Rebirth

Chapter 9 Hushi Village Assembly

The ancestral hall was noisy, with some crying and coughing mixed with the buzzing of discussions.

Zhou Mazi shook his head, rolled his eyes three times, and said to Mrs. Sun, who was paralyzed on the ground, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Sun, my family really can't open the pot. The porridge we drank in the morning was mixed with half a pot of water, Qi The family has a lot of money and food, so you should beg the eldest son of the Qi family more, ah."

Qi Wu was impulsive when he heard the words, his veins bulged, and he almost got up and punched that bruised face.

Zhao Er quickly pressed his shoulder and shook his head.

Seeing this situation, some big households around who were originally reluctant also quickly expressed their difficulties, and none of them was willing to contribute their surplus food and money.

This year's situation, who can guarantee that the next year will not be the same situation, let alone recovering the money and food lent to these desperate households later, even my own family may be the next desperate household.

In a world of natural disasters, how can there be so much sympathy? Compared with a stomach that is not full, conscience is even more insignificant.

Seeing the situation, Master Sun was frozen, and knew that waiting for their relief was useless. Originally, his stomach was empty and he was hungry and panicked. At this moment, all thoughts were lost, his eyes went dark, his whole body went limp, and he fainted all of a sudden, thanks to Qi Wulian. Take the child to hold on.

The crowd rioted.

Amidst the noise of resentment, Qi Wu handed over the baby in her arms to Su Ling who was beside her, and with a livid face, carried Mr. Sun's to a cool place in the ancestral hall and called a few villagers to take care of it.

Su Ling had an extra baby on her hands for no reason, and she didn't know how to hold it, it was so thin and small.Although the baby is six or seven months old, it looks thin and weak, like a full moon baby. Its eye sockets are sunken due to long-term lack of nutrition, and its skin is wrinkled. It looks pitifully tight. At this moment, he is sucking Su Ling's fingertips, but he is not crying , looking at Su Ling without blinking.

Su Ling looked at it with bursts of sadness.

When he was thrown into the orphanage, he was probably about the same size. Fortunately, he met such a good headmaster, and this baby in another world may be hungry, and he didn't even have time to take a look at the outside world. It is time to leave this world.

How helpless, Su Ling immediately hurt himself when he saw that poor baby.

The scene was chaotic, Zhou Mazi had already taken advantage of the mess and found an excuse to leave, and the rest of the big households also tried to run away with the excuse of something happening at home, but they were stopped by some desperate households at the door. The two sides quarreled and pushed each other, and the scene was even more chaotic.

In spring, with old banyan trees and chirping birds, there is a peaceful atmosphere outside the ancestral hall, but inside the ancestral hall is full of voices, noisy, crying for father and mother, making people feel uneasy.

With a whoosh, the bird in the corner was startled away, the sound gradually subsided, and one after another, the villagers left dejectedly and walked towards their barren homes.

Soon, there were no people in the ancestral hall. Zhao Er supported his forehead with a cane, and wept silently. As an old village head, an old village head without any appeal or ability, he really had no face to face those people. The villagers stared at him hungrily—he was at his wit's end.

The two villagers who couldn't see clearly were still guarding by Mr. Sun, Qi Wu walked to Zhao Er's side and comforted him, "Uncle Zhao, this is the end of the matter, we have nothing to do, let's go back first."

Zhao Er waved his hand, motioning for him to go first.

How relieved Qi Wu was, he refused to leave, and decided in his heart that he had to get Second Uncle Zhao back. He turned his head and saw that Su Ling was holding the baby, his face was flushed by the sun, and he was lightly Humming some nursery rhyme, the baby is also comfortable and peaceful in his arms.

A disturbed state of mind calmed down a little.

Qi Wu went over and said softly to Su Ling, "Naughty, let's take Mrs. Sun and this little thing home for some food, they are probably very hungry."

It was rare for Su Ling to no longer react with fear, but nodded with joy.

Qi Wu said again, "I'll leave this little brat to you. I have to take care of Second Uncle Zhao. If you feel very uncomfortable, call me... It will be hard for you."

Su Ling bit her lip, her voice was like a mosquito, "I, I'm fine, I'll take good care of him."

Qi Wu's heart was soft again, if it wasn't for the troubles here, he would have found a place where no one was around, and held him in his arms and loved him a lot.Qi Wu swallowed his throat immediately, resisting the waves in his heart, turned his head and said to the two villagers who took care of Mrs. Sun, "I have to trouble Brother Zhang and Brother Li to help carry Mrs. Sun to my place."

One of them said darkly, "What's the matter? I can't help with money and food. If I don't do my best for such a small matter, is it still a person?"

Qi Wu thanked him again and again, and then went to Zhao Er's side, he couldn't help but help him up, even if Zhao Er knocked him with his crutches, he just wanted to take him home.

Zhao Er has been like a father and son with Qi Wu for so many years. Seeing Qi Wu's stubbornness, he sighed and could only compromise, "Let's go to your house, I can't see the ancestral tablet right now."

Qi Wu nodded, "As long as you're not here, I'll take it with you wherever you go."

In this way, a group of six people plus a baby walked to Qi's house in a mighty way.

----------

Yue Lian fanned the wind with her handkerchief. It was almost noon, and the spring sun had been shining all the time, so it was very dry.Yinglian is like a monkey, restless for a moment, she is restless, when she sees a group of figures walking towards her from afar.

Gradually approaching, Yue Lian took a closer look, why did her father go with Qi Wu - her house is obviously on the other side, and when she looked carefully, there were still several people, Yue Lian had a look on her face. Doubt, I do not know what the situation is.

Yinglian climbed on the tree, her vision was very far, she saw them all at once, she kept shouting Daddy, Daddy.

Qi Wu and Zhao Er walked faster, and arrived at Yue Lian's place first. Zhao Er saw that his two daughters hadn't returned home at almost noon, and they were still busy with troubles at the gate of the temple. He suddenly got angry and cursed, " Why are you still in this peach blossom grove, Yue Lian, you, the eldest sister, also mess around with your younger sister, and you won’t go back until the sun is on the top!”

Yue Lian twisted her handkerchief and thought angrily, who would have thought you would appear.

Feeling unreconciled, Qi Wu heard a baby cry behind him, and then a soft voice floated over, "Don't cry, don't cry, oh oh oh."

The voice is gentle and pleasant, indescribably comfortable.

Yue Lian followed the sound and was stunned for a while.

A boy was holding a baby, frowning and coaxing carefully, his fine forehead hair fell on the red face, it looked softer than the baby in his arms, at this moment he couldn't comfort him, a pair of watery phoenix His eyes flickered to Qi Wu, and then dodged like a deer, Qi Wu had a doting face, and his eyes only focused on him.

Taking another serious look at the boy's face, Yue Lian heard a voice and her heart was torn apart.

Inferiority, unwillingness, anger, and many emotions came to my heart at once.

Why, why, many whys are difficult to answer, Yue Lian's heart is sour and then angry - she doesn't know why.

Glancing at Qi Wu bitterly, Yue Lian stomped her feet and ran away.

Qi Wu sighed and said to Zhao Er, "Second Uncle Zhao, Yue Lian is already so big, you still teach her like a child, and I would be very angry."

Zhao Er shook his head, unable to say anything.

Yinglian climbed down the tree, looked at her sister's back, and asked in confusion, "Daddy, why did my sister run away?"

Zhao Er waved his hands, "Let her go, I don't worry about you going back alone, go to brother Wu's house with you."

Yinglian cheered for a while, she likes to run around the most.

Soon she also noticed Su Ling next to Qi Wu, opened her mouth suddenly, and then said enviously, "Miss sister, you look so good-looking!"

Su Ling muttered, "I... I'm a man."

Yinglian didn't believe it, she put her hands on his chest, it turned out to be flat, now she believed it, she looked disappointed, "It's not fun, I'm uglier than a man!"

Zhao Er hit her with a cane, "Nonsense!"

Yinglian touched her little head and said aggrievedly, "That's right."

Zhao Er didn't know where his anger came from, so he could only spit out, shook his head and ignored, and soon a group of people came to Qi's house.

But seeing a circle of people around the gate of the courtyard, Qi Wu was shocked, thinking that something serious happened to Achang, but after a while, Achang came out of the crowd and ran towards Qi Wu, "Brother, he... they Say you're hungry and want to eat!"

Qi Wu instantly understood that it was those hungry desperate households who came here. Seeing Qi Wu coming, a group of people immediately surrounded Qi Wu.

Some even dragged their families with them, all of them sallow and emaciated, with hopeful eyes,

One of them said, "Qi Da, give me something to eat, the rice tank at home has been empty for several days."

The other said, "If there was a way, I wouldn't act like this and beg for food from you like a beggar."

Another said, "All the wild vegetables in the field have been dug up, and I have no energy,"

This sentence and that sentence were noisy, and everyone stared at Qi Wu eagerly, waiting for him to express his opinion.Careful and eager.

Qi Wu was helpless, how could his family support so many people, but they were all from the same village, and how could they have the heart to drive them away, so he could only comfort him first, "Everyone go in and have a meal first, and we will deal with the rest. Say it again."

A group of people bowed again and again, scrambling to be the first to walk into the courtyard.
