Chapter 60 We are here to join you
Early in the morning, before dawn.
Old Lady Wang took out some paper money, incense and candles from the ox cart, and walked to the other side of the official road by the light of the fire. She took out a tinder, lit the paper money, incense and candles, stuck the incense and candles into the soil, and began to mutter. Then she shouted the names of her two granddaughters loudly, repeatedly, and the sky gradually brightened.
Lin Zisu heard someone calling her. The voice seemed familiar, but she couldn't find the person. Who was calling her?
I searched everywhere for the toilet! Why is there no toilet in the house? I can’t hold it in any longer! I can’t hold it in any longer! I’m dying of suffocation!
Lin Zisu suddenly opened her eyes and blinked. She could clearly feel the bloating in her bladder, which was very uncomfortable. She stood up and wanted to rush to the toilet.
The pain from her left hand instantly woke her up, "Ah! Damn..." It was a plant.
She forgot that her left hand was injured!!
At the shout, Shen Xianglan and Yang, who were sleeping, immediately opened their eyes.
Shen Xianglan was startled, "What's wrong?! What's wrong?!!"
"My hand..." Lin Zisu couldn't help crying and couldn't control it! It hurts...
The wound must have split open. He got out of bed trembling and took two steps into the bathroom.
He struggled to pull down his pants with his right hand, taking care of the most urgent matter first.
Lin Zisu sat on the toilet, tears streaming down her face. She was so unlucky!
Ahh ...
Should we go to the temple to worship?
Asking for a peace charm or a lucky charm...
After much difficulty, he pulled up his pants and walked out of the bathroom holding his pants with his right hand. "Mom, fasten my pants for me..."
Lin Qiuyue also woke up and sat on the bed listlessly.
Shen Xianglan put on her daughter's pants, looked at the bloody gauze, and sighed, "You unlucky child!!!"
"Second sister-in-law, you and Qiuyue should go out and warm yourself by the fire. The car is too narrow, and I need to change her medicine." The space in a Type B RV is only this big, and it's barely enough for many people to sit still. If people want to do something, they can't move.
After the two got off the car, she put the two double-seater sofas back in place and took out the medicine box.
Lin Zisu sat on the sofa with a look of despair, her head turned to the side, as her mother muttered to her while applying medicine and bandaging her wound.
"The washing machine is blocked by the jar. I want to use it, but I can't! How can I dry the gauze after washing it? Oh!" Shen Xianglan took the dirty gauze into the bathroom and scrubbed it. She took out the gauze that had been soaked overnight, rinsed it with clean water, wrung it out and hung it on the stainless steel rack in the bathroom. She rubbed the gauze that had just been changed and threw it into the bucket to soak. Without 84 soaking, the blood stains could not be washed off at all.
The Shen family came over to care about Lin Zisu. Old Mrs. Ye took out a bag of brown sugar, stuffed it into Shen Xianglan's hand, and asked her to give it to Lin Zisu to drink.
The Lin family also gathered around to see Lin Zisu's situation. The two children in the family were unlucky and suffered an unexpected disaster.
Early in the morning, Lin Zisu felt much better because she was cared for by others.
But my hand was really painful. I thought, could the hairpin be poisonous?
She told my mother about her suspicions. My mother was shocked for a moment, then regained her composure and said, "It's poisonous. How can you still stand here and talk? Your body's sense of pain is just more sensitive!"
"What's that muscle?" asked Old Lady Wang.
"It hurts so much!" Lin Zisu frowned and shouted at Old Lady Wang.
"It's such a big hole, how can it not hurt! It's no use calling for help! There's no magic medicine!" Old Lady Wang looked at her little granddaughter with a hard time explaining. She felt a little uneasy. Last night, she scared her granddaughter by holding two tents and causing her to fall. Who knew she would be so unlucky that she would fall and accidentally get her hand pierced. She didn't even dare to ask about the hairpin, because Si'er would chase her and nag her later.
When it was daybreak, everyone had breakfast, packed their luggage and prepared to set off.
Three figures suddenly appeared behind the team. From a distance, they looked like a tall man and two short men. When I got closer, I realized that it was an old man with two children, pushing a worn-out floor cart, walking towards the team.
After peeing, Hu Zi smelled a strange odor and walked towards the back of the team.
A dog started barking, and the other three dogs rushed to the back and barked together.
The old man protected his two children, shaking his body as he looked at the dogs barking at them.
"Why are you yelling! Dahuang, come back!" Old man Zhu shouted at his dog in a loud voice.
The men on patrol walked to the back to see what was going on.
The old man was dirty, had messy white hair, a skinny body, a hunched back, and was wearing patched clothes.
The two children hugged the old man's thighs tightly and looked at the group of people in fear.
The four dogs bared their teeth and bared at them. When their owners came, they also bared their teeth and looked at the three people.
Zhu Ming: "Old man, where are you going?"
The old man began to sob and wiped his eyes with his dirty and torn sleeves. "Old man, I don't know where to go! There is nowhere to go!"
The two children started to cry, tears as big as beans kept falling, and their faces were covered with tears and snot. They looked so pitiful!
"The village was burned down, and there is nowhere to go! I can only go wherever I want!" The old man became sadder and sadder. "My son and daughter-in-law were killed by the soldiers!"
When everyone heard him say this, they were shocked and thought of the two destroyed villages they had encountered. There were many empty villages along the way!
Zhao Wang asked curiously, "Then how did you three escape?"
The old man wiped his face with his sleeve and said sadly, "My wife passed away early. There was a lot of farm work at home, and my husband and I were busy working at home. She asked me to take my two grandsons to visit relatives in the city, and when I came back... then..." As the old man spoke, tears flowed down his face again.
When everyone heard him say that, they sighed. How can the old man and two children survive when the young one has to die?
“The common people are suffering!”
"My condolences, old man!"
"It's getting late, we have to hurry."
Lin Benshu looked at the people who were gathered at the end of the team and who had not dispersed, so he walked over with his son to check.
When Hu Zi saw his owner coming, he wagged his tail excitedly, turned around and barked at the three people a few times, looking like a bear.
Lin Youxing looked at his dog and felt a little strange. Could it be that the dog looked down on the person on the other side because he was wearing tattered clothes? !
Lin Youfu patted his big black dog's head, signaling it to be quiet.
Everyone prepared to disperse and returned to their positions to continue their journey.
The old man knelt down, and the two children followed suit and kowtowed.
Everyone was startled and quickly moved out of the way.
Zhu Ming wanted to go over to help the man, but was stopped by his brother Zhu Liang. He could only say, "Old man, please get up quickly! You are old, and if you kneel before us, we will shorten our lifespan!"
"I am an old man covered up to my neck in mud. I pity my two grandchildren who are still young and have no parents or relatives to turn to. Please be kind and let us follow the team! I am afraid that I can't protect my two grandchildren! When we escaped, we found some food in the village. I will give you a bag of food, and let us follow!"
"Please, uncles and grandpas!!"
"Please!"
The two children knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The old man stood up from the ground, opened a bag of grain on the cart, and grabbed two handfuls of grain to show everyone.
The golden millet exudes the aroma of grain.
Butcher Zhao looked at the old man and two children and felt that something was wrong. But what could the old man and two children do? If they met refugees on the road, their food would be snatched away, and the two children would probably be captured and sold.
Everyone started talking about it. It was really pitiful! This old man and three children might not be able to walk far before they were robbed.
Some people say don't meddle in other people's business, because you don't know the whole story.
Some people say it’s pitiful and it’s okay to let them follow.
Someone said that they had food, and he even gave us a bag of food as a reward!
There are different opinions.
Lin Li was watching the endless noise behind him and had to go back to take a look.
Zhao Zhuang's eyes were sharp, "The head of the village is here!"
Everyone, please move aside and see what the head of the village says.
Lin Lizheng was looking at the pitiful old man and two children, and his son Lin Benshu told him the situation in his ear.
Village Chief: "What do you think?"
Zhu Ming: "I think it's okay to follow. There are three of them, old and young. They look really pitiful!"
Old Man Lin nodded and said, "Yes! We are all poor people! Any help we can give is a help!"
Lin Lizheng nodded: "Okay, let's follow first."
The old man pulled up the two children, bowed and said: "You are all good people! You will all be blessed! Please accept this bag of food!"
