Chapter 34
Erlaizi ran all the way home, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw his old lady sweeping the yard with a broom.

"Mom, what are you doing! Run away!"

The sudden voice startled Mrs. Lai, and she scolded: "You little bastard, what are you doing in such a fright? Are you going to scare your mother to death?"

"Mother, don't talk about those useless things, hurry up and run with valuables! The rebels are here!"

Erlaizi said while running towards his own room.

He was in a hurry, and he didn't know what he was going to pretend. He only knew that everyone in the village was carrying burdens and quilts, so he directly removed the rag sheet on the bed, and put the quilt and clothes Roll it up and tie it on.

Before Mrs. Lai could react, she came to her son's house and saw him packing things like crazy: "Second son, what did you mean just now? Rebellion, the rebel army came here?"

"That's not true! That boy Ji Hu came back from the county to deliver the news, and now everyone in the village has run to the mountains. Mother, you hurry back and pack your things, if it's late, our mother and I will be finished."

Erlaizi urged while packing, big beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Oh my mother, why did you really call? Could it be a fake?"

Mrs. Lai still didn't believe it.

Erlaizi was so angry that he stuffed the bundle into his mother's arms and rushed into her room.

Mrs. Lai was pushed back and slammed into the door frame beside her, causing her to grin her teeth and groan in pain.

But her son, who was usually filial to her, ignored her at all, which made her even more uneasy.

Erlaizi knew where his mother hid her money, but she didn't like to touch the old lady's things on weekdays, so she pretended not to know.

At this time, he couldn't allow him to pretend anymore, so he directly lifted the straw mat on the old lady's kang, and buckled down an earthen brick in twos and threes.

There is an earthen jar under the adobe bricks. It's not big, but it contains all the money his mother has saved.

"You son of a bitch, you, how do you know..."

"Mom, don't be so wordy! You need to repack, let's go now!"

Erlaizi didn't have time to pour out the contents of the earthen jar, so he threw the jar directly on the ground.

With a snap, the jar shattered into pieces.

A few broken silver coins and copper plates inside were scattered all over the floor.

"Oh, I can't pass this day!"

Mrs. Lai was so distressed that she began to cry.

Erlaizi didn't care how his mother was crying now, he picked up the silver and copper coins and stuffed them into his bosom.

In the end, he didn't forget to wrap a few pieces of his mother's clothes with his mother's quilt, and put them directly on his shoulders. With one hand free, he directly lifted Mrs. Lai up, and ran outside.

Mrs. Lai now really believes that something happened, otherwise his son wouldn't have stolen the money and run away with her.

As soon as she ran to the middle of the yard, Mrs. Lai hurriedly shouted: "Food! Food!"

"Hurry up and run to the back mountain with your things, I will chase you!"

Erlaizi stuffed the two bundles to Mrs. Lai, and then rushed into the kitchen.

Mrs. Lai was carrying two bundles and couldn't see the way.

She wanted to run, but she was worried about her son, so she could only stand there and wait.

The life of the Lai family is not going well, and the two mothers depend on each other for life.

The old lady Lai can't grow much food all year round, and the second Laizi is a rascal, idle about on weekdays, and can't make any money at all.

So there were not many things in the house before, and the food was only enough for the two of them to barely make do for a month.

The thick brown rice noodles, which add up to less than [-] catties, are mixed in a noodle bag regardless of the rice noodles.

All I eat at home is coarse salt, and now there is only a thin layer at the bottom of the salt shaker, let alone oil.

Throughout the year, oil flowers can only be seen in the oil tank during the Chinese New Year.

"Second son, chicken! Chicken!"

Mrs. Lai thought of the two old hens in her backyard.

Although it is impossible to place an order every day, the next or two every few days can be exchanged for some coarse salt.

Erlaizi poured the coarse salt into the rice noodle bag and tied the mouth of the bag directly to his belt.

Hearing my old lady calling chicken again, the bastard had to go to the chicken coop again.

The old hen clucked and clucked in fright when she saw Er Lai Zi's murderous appearance, but before she could flop twice, Er Lai Zi grabbed Destiny's neck.

Gaba!

Gaba!

Twist the neck of a chicken at once, and instantly the old hen turned into an old hen corpse, without even seeing the blood.

"It's a crime! It's a laying hen, why are you dead!"

After much difficulty, Mrs. Lai replaced the burden with one under her two arms, exposing her front view, and saw her son running towards her with a dead chicken in one hand and a grain bag hanging on his waist.

"Stop nagging! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Erlaizi still remembered that it would take less than half an hour for the rebels to reach their village.

It was really not enough time to run back by myself, pack up things, and take my mother who was not very agile up the mountain.

He casually threw the two chickens into the dilapidated carrying basket on the side, and threw the rice sack into it, and put a burden on it, and held the rest of the burden in his hand, leaving one hand free to support himself The old lady rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

When they could see the foot of the mountain from a distance, they happened to see the disappearance of the large team in the village.

"Mom, hurry up!"

Erlaizi was in a hurry.

If they hadn't kept up with the big team in the village, they would not have survived long even if they were not caught by the rebels.

He can't hunt, and the old lady's legs and feet are not good enough. The two of them are purely giving rations to wild animals.

Mrs. Lai was led by her son for a trot all the way. She was so tired that she was out of breath, and her eyes turned black.

Every time I almost fell, it was my son who was holding me tightly.

Mrs. Lai cried as she ran.

What kind of world is this, why are there rebels coming?
The vegetables in her vegetable garden have not been confiscated, there are still clothes at home, and...

The more she thought about the things she didn't bring, the more distressed Mrs. Lai became.

The more distressed, the more fierce the tears flow.

The harder the tears flowed, the more she couldn't see the way in front of her clearly.

Finally, under the drag of Mrs. Lai, Erlaizi lost his balance and fell into the mud.

Normally, the bastard would have scolded people a long time ago, but today he just gritted his teeth and got up, then grabbed his mother's arm and continued to run in the direction where the big team disappeared.

There is only one thought in his mind now: to catch up with everyone!

If they catch up, the two of them will have a way out, otherwise they will die.

After the first somersault, it was like falling into some kind of vicious circle.

Seeing that the distance was more than 30 meters, the Lai family's mother and son unexpectedly fell six or seven times before reaching the edge of the mountain forest.

"Son, take a break!"

Mrs. Lai couldn't run any longer, holding on to a big tree and panting like a bellows.

Erlaizi also wanted to take a rest, but he turned his head and saw a dusty scene in the distance, his expression changed suddenly, and without saying a word, he rushed into the woods with his old mother.
