Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 164 Care 2
The military disaster, coupled with the fact that it has not rained for a long time, this year's harvest will definitely not be good.If one fails, there may be no harvest.In fact, it might not be so easy to buy a bag of grain for ten taels of silver.

"Dongfeng, you have given our family so much food. Is there enough food for your family? Or, take half of it back to your family? Erya is a healthy person now, and Laifeng is still young, so he can't help being hungry. Yes, and not when you are hungry." Aunt Pan was very moved and asked with tears in her eyes.

"Ma'am, my family hid some food in the mountains. Although it's not much, it can last for more than a month. Erya follows the trend, I won't let them starve, I just eat less food! I grew up To the point of not being able to please my parents, the drought that year, if my aunt’s family hadn’t given me a bite to eat, I might have starved to death! Now that I have this ability, I can’t just watch my aunt’s family go hungry!”

Dongfeng smiled honestly and waved his hands, resolutely refusing to agree, not only that, but he also took out an old money bag from his bosom and handed it over: "Ma'am, there are ten taels of silver here, the aunt's family quickly accept it and keep it Emergency. This world is too chaotic, if you feel that something is wrong, hurry up and run up the mountain with a change of clothes and money."

Aunt Pan hurriedly refused: "No way! How can this be possible? Well, I will accept the food, and you should quickly take back the money. I will never ask for it anyway! In the past, I just gave it to you. A sweet potato, how can it be worth such a reward from you? It's not easy for you, Erya is still pregnant with a child, and you can't ignore your parents."

"Mother, don't argue with me! Although it's just a sweet potato, at that time, I also found out later that you gave me that sweet potato, and you didn't eat for two days, and you fainted from hunger! Moreover, if I hadn't gotten that sweet potato back then, I would have starved to death!"

Dongfeng said tearfully, and couldn't help but put the money bag in the uncle's pocket: "Uncle, aunt, to tell you the truth, I still have 30 taels of silver with me now, if it wasn't because Erya is pregnant , Erya and I want to give you a little more. As for my parents, I don’t dare to take care of them. I’m worried that if they know that there is food and money in my family, I think the eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and mother’s family will all Come to make an idea of ​​my family. You also know what kind of person my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are, and what kind of people are their natal brothers and sister-in-law?"

Aunt Pan nodded in agreement: "That's right, they are all unscrupulous people, compared to Erya's second and third aunts! At this moment, you can't afford to provoke such people !well!"

Dongfeng said: "Yes, I really can't afford to provoke such a person! There is only so much food and money in my family. If those people find out, they will definitely do everything possible to rob them. By then I don’t even have the place to cry! Even the silver was given by Erya’s eldest sister, and the food was given by Erya’s elder brother! Otherwise, where would my family have money to build a new house? And where would I have surplus money and food? ?”

Mrs. Mu Sheng sighed: "Yes, when we separated, you, Erya, and Laifeng didn't get a grain of grain or a copper coin. You know, at that time, it was the twelfth lunar month. Your parents are really ruthless! Then the eldest brother, the second brother, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are also ruthless! Since they don’t have you as a son and brother in their hearts, then if you can’t control the people in the old house, So don't force yourself too much! At this time, it's better than anything else for you to take care of Erya and follow the wind!"

Before Dongfeng left, he thought about it, and reminded him: "Uncle, during the daytime tomorrow, you let the aunt, sister-in-law and a few children hide in the cellar. I will come to you tomorrow, and I will go up the mountain quietly with you to find A cave where you can hide. If something important happens, there should be a place where you can rest temporarily, so you won’t be too panicked at that time, and you won’t even have a place to go. Find a good cave, and I will put some food in the cave. Put some clothes, pots and pans and fire pockets."

"Okay, thank you very much! I'll wait for you at home tomorrow!" Mu Sheng's father was very moved and grateful. His heart, which was originally hopeless and desolate, slowly injected a warm current.

After sending Dongfeng away, Aunt Pan sighed and said, "Good people are rewarded! Back then, if I hadn't been soft-hearted and given my rations to Dongfeng, our family would have starved to death today!"

Mu Sheng's father also said with emotion: "Dongfeng and Erya are also two children who are sensible and kind, and they are people who know how to repay you. I think you saved your own rations and helped more than one poor child in Dongfeng. However, Dongfeng is the only one who still keeps you in his heart today!"

"Oh, that's true! After all, it's because Dongfeng is a good kid." Aunt Pan also sighed.

At dawn, Dongfeng said to Erya: "Today, I will go to the mountains with my uncle to find a cave, and I will go to Shanqian Village to take a look. I don't know if my father-in-law and elder brother are well, whether my grandfather and fifth uncle are well, so I don't want to go and see." If you don’t, it’s really hard to be at ease.”

Er Ya's face was full of sorrow: "Yes, grandma's house is in the mountains, so you don't have to worry so much. Be careful along the way, don't let anyone catch a strong man, big brother is strong in martial arts, brother Yunwu and brother Tan Hai are also very good in martial arts. Maybe , nothing will happen at home and grandma's house, so don't force your way in."

"I know, after you leave, you should be careful with the wind. The tunnel has been dug through, and the exit is in a thorn canopy. Now, the mountains are full of verdant green, and the thorn canopy is full of new green, and the thorn canopy has grown again. Growing up in a secluded place, it is not easy to be found. In case the secret room is discovered, you should take the wind out of the tunnel and hide in the mountains!"

Dongfeng wanted to go out, but he was really worried about Erya, but there was nothing he could do.He knew that if he didn't inquire about the news about his father-in-law's house in Shanqian Village, Erya might have trouble sleeping and eating.If this continues, it will not work, it will seriously affect the health of the child.Besides, his father-in-law and uncle were so kind to him, and he was also very worried about whether they would be arrested.

Serving as a soldier in the army of rebels is no joke, and it is destined to have no good results.Although the current Holy Majesty is not a very good emperor, he is still much better than the tyrannical Duke Huai.Moreover, when there is chaos in the war, it is not the common people who suffer?
Dongfeng took Mu Sheng's father along, carefully avoiding several groups of soldiers and spies along the way, and followed the low mountains to the back mountain of Shanqian Village, which is near the house of Da Ya's grandma.

The area around Mengjiazhuang is full of low mountains, and there are no places with high mountains and dense forests.As far as the place with verdant trees is the back hill behind Erya's new house.That mountain is actually a low mountain, but because the work of closing the mountain for afforestation has been done well.Therefore, there are lush greenery all year round, otherwise, there is nowhere to hide the authentic exit.

There was no one in the grandma's house, only Tan Hai was left nearby, paying close attention to the people who came and went.In doing so, the first is to see if the home is safe and whether it is possible to come back to live.Secondly, I was afraid that Xiangdong and other relatives and friends would come to inquire about the news at home, and they would be anxious because they could not find anyone.

"Uncle, just wait on this big tree. No matter what happens, don't make a sound, and don't come down. The leaves are thick enough, as long as you are not a martial arts master, it is impossible to find you! I will come when I go, at most half a Hours come and go!"

Dongfeng placed Mu Sheng's father on a big tree with luxuriant foliage, gave some instructions, left behind a cloth bag containing some pancakes and a water bag, turned around and disappeared.

Dongfeng wore a set of blue clothes today, and with the help of the cover of green mountains, he gradually approached Grandma Erya's house.He was hiding behind a clump of thorns, observing the Tan family through the gaps in the thorns, when suddenly someone patted his back.

Oops, someone found out!

He was so frightened that cold sweat poured down his forehead, his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he kept shouting in his heart: "It's over, it's over! Now, I'm going to be arrested! Now, what will Erya do?"

He was lowering his head, staring at the grass under his feet and worried, but a familiar and hearty laughter echoed in his ears: "Hey, I scared you, don't be afraid, I am Erya's cousin Tan Hai!"

oh?Erya's cousin, Tan Hai?

Dongfeng turned around abruptly, and was overwhelmed with surprise.

Hey, it's so dangerous, it's like a narrow escape!
Lucky, lucky!Today looks like a good day!Along the way, not only was there no danger, but she even met Erya's cousin!

"Big cousin, very happy to see you!" Dongfeng shouted happily.

"Shh, keep your voice down, Shanqian Village has been taken over by rebels! Say it so loudly, be careful to attract strong men, and arrest both of us!" Tan Hai hurriedly made a silent movement, Quietly stopped.

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy." Dongfeng was kind and quick to apologize in a low voice.

"Come on, come with me, let's go to a more secret place!" Tan Hai said, and walked into the forest first, Dongfeng quickly followed.The two didn't stop until they reached an inaccessible place, and sat on the hillside to talk.

"Big cousin, where are father-in-law and elder brother? Are they all right? Is Uncle Wu's family all right? Is your family all right? And big sister, are you all right?" Dongfeng asked anxiously as soon as he sat down.

Tan Hai patted him on the shoulder, looking at Yuanshan, his expression and tone were a little anxious: "Except for Da Ya who couldn't get in touch and I don't know how she is, the rest of the people are safe and sound. When the old patriarch heard that the rebels After hearing the news of arresting the strong man and searching the village, he immediately discussed with Lizheng and the elders of the clan, and moved the whole village to the mountains. Xiangdong left the village a little late in order to dig out the buried money. If it wasn't for him If you are strong in martial arts, you will almost be caught."

"Oh, it's so dangerous? He shouldn't care about the money. If he gets caught, what should he do?" Dongfeng was terrified when he heard that, and couldn't help complaining and blaming Xiangdong.

"Yeah, who said no? The old patriarch scolded him severely!" Tan Hai shook his head and continued: "However, luckily, Shanqian Village is now divided into three shares. More than half of them The people in my family are following Lizheng and the village head, crossing the mountains behind, and preparing to leave for the deep mountains beyond Erdaogou. People in my family are close to Xiangdong, the old patriarch, Uncle Maoshan and several other families. I went with my family. Today, everyone stayed in the mountains more than 20 miles away and built a village there.”

Dongfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but suddenly remembered something: "Then why are you still here? Since there is an army stationed in Shanqian Village, isn't it dangerous for you to stay?" concern.

Tan Hai smiled and explained: "I'll stay here to take care of the aftermath. When the situation of Erya and Daya is clear, I will leave here and go there to find everyone! Oh, I have been to Mengjiazhuang several times in a row, but there is no one. The news about your home was hidden deep enough! It just so happens that I can see you today, and I have completed the task, and I just brought you there with Erya and Laifeng!"

Dongfeng heard that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked: "Isn't there no news about Erya's eldest sister? Don't look for her, just leave like this?"

Tan Hai said helplessly: "Oh, it's not that I don't want to look for her, but that there are many people from Duke Huai stationed around the mountain where she settled down. Those soldiers can be seen as having been on the battlefield. I am very keen. I tried to go up the mountain quietly several times, but I almost got caught. If it weren’t for my lightness skills, I would have been beaten to death or captured alive by now!”
