The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 64

thief? !He Tao shrugged: "Where is it?"

Fu Shi made a silent gesture, told her to stay where she was, and walked towards the courtyard gate lightly.He Tao was worried, so he grabbed the wooden stick and followed quietly.

Fu Shi turned his head and glared at her, motioned for her to stay where she was again, before moving on.He yanked the latch lightly, pulled it out and squeezed it in his hand, and then yanked the door open.

He Tao clenched the wooden stick tightly and was about to go to the field to support at any time, when he heard a cry of begging for mercy.

"Uncle, don't do it!"

Huh?It sounds like a half-grown child!He Tao squinted his eyes and took a look under the moonlight. The so-called thieves were actually two children!
Two little boys, the older one is about ten years old, the other one is about five or six years old, wearing only single clothes in the cold weather, and there are many holes, no one believes that they are not beggars and refugees.

"Is it you?" Fu Shi put down the raised door bolt and asked, "You came back with me?"

"Yes, Uncle, please do me a favor and take us in!" The older child pulled the younger one to kneel on the ground, and then knelt down to He Tao: "Auntie, please show us kindness and take us in! We don't care about anything!" Can do it!"

He Tao was a little baffled, turned to Fu Shi: "Why do you know each other?"

Fu Shi nodded and said, "Today I went to town and met them again..."

Earlier, Fu Shi went to the town to buy lanterns and boarded the market at the east end of the town, but when he walked to the middle of the town, he found that the place was full of people, and it was impossible to squeeze through.After asking others, I found out that Huang Dahu in the town said a few days ago that he would scatter copper plates on the Shangyuan Festival, and everyone who heard about it had been waiting here early.

Father Fu Fuhai used to work under Huang Dahu.This man was famous as an iron rooster in his early years. He obviously had a lot of money, but he wore linen clothes all the year round and ate miscellaneous grains and coarse noodles.He was frugal with himself, and he was even more harsh on his long-term and short-term workers. He would delay and deduct wages at every turn, and he was scolded by many people behind his back.

Fu Shi felt strange, this Huang Dahu changed his temper?Thinking of him, he stopped to watch the meeting.When the time was up, it turned out to be a young man in his thirties. After asking someone, he found out that this was the eldest son of Huang Dahu, who is now the head of the Huang family, known as Uncle Huang.

"Uncle Huang is in his thirties this year, and he doesn't even have a daughter. I heard that he bought two girls in the county last year, and one of them got pregnant within two months after entering the house. Huang Dahu said earlier that after giving birth, I don't care about her." Whether it's a son or a daughter, you have to throw out ten pennies! No, just taking advantage of the crowds at the Lantern Festival, let's throw money! Oh, it's starting!"

Fu Shi was originally watching the fun, but was squeezed in by the crowd and couldn't get out.It's funny to say, he didn't lack a few coppers, but Huang Dahu threw money in his direction, and everyone overtook Fu Shi to squeeze in, even if he was strong, he almost didn't let anyone give it to him. Overturned.

There are many people and everyone is excited, so it is easy to stampede accidents. Fu Shi saw a child being hit by someone, and the person who hit him ignored him, and just kept rushing forward to pick up money.In the blink of an eye, the child who fell to the ground was stepped on several times by the people around him. Fu Shi couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed out of the crowd with him in his hand.

"Uncle, thank you!" As soon as the child's feet hit the ground, he thanked him and rushed in again.

"Don't go, you can't squeeze them!" Fu Shi held him back.

"Uncle, it won't work if you don't squeeze. I can't get money, so I don't have money to buy medicine. My brother is going to die of illness!" The child rushed in regardless.

Fu Shi gasped when he saw that he was talking, and he was limping when he walked. It was obvious that he was trampled hard just now. He still wanted to take care of his younger brother at this time. He stopped him: "Child, come here and take me to see your brother."

The child led Fu Shi into a dead end.At the end of the alley there was a shed built of wooden boards, which was only a little bigger than a normal kennel, and a five or six-year-old boy was lying in it.

Fu Shi went up to feel it, and found that the child had a high fever, so he carried the child to the medical clinic without saying much, and asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine.He didn't take it too seriously, and left after paying the consultation fees and medicine fees. He didn't expect these two children to come here!

The little beggar straightened up and said to He Tao, "Sister, I remember you, you gave me a bunch of candied haws."

Little beggar?Candied haws?There is indeed such a thing.During the big market, Fu Shi rescued a little beggar who was beaten by two big beggars, and He Tao gave him a bunch of candied haws. The youngest of the two little thieves was the little beggar that day!

The little beggar called her elder sister, He Tao was immediately happy, and the older one just now called her aunt!He Tao stepped forward and touched the little beggar's forehead with her hand. It was still hot, so she asked, "You still have a fever! Are you taking medicine?"

The little beggar nodded: "Eat it!"

"How did you find my house?" Fu Shi was concerned about another issue, which in his opinion was not as important as a little beggar taking medicine.

"The doctor in the hospital said it!" The older child replied.

The doctor had been giving the pregnant He Tao a "monthly physical examination" before. Dongzhi and Dongye had also been taken care of by him. Naturally, he knew Fu Shi, and told him specifically that their family's ox cart was damaged. For the carport, you can find it by looking at the car deposit.

When the two little ones rushed over, Fu Shi bought the lantern and had just walked for a while, but there were other passers-by on the road, all of whom went back to the villages after watching the lanterns. After asking a few times, they found the big one. Badlands here.

"Uncle, you are a good person, just take us in!" The little beggar bowed to Fu Shi again.

The little beggar also bowed down: "Take us in!"

Fu Shi looked at He Tao, but He Tao didn't know what to do.Although they are not short of food for the two of them, but this person of unknown origin is not at ease at home!
Just as he was hesitating, the crying of the twins came out. He Tao turned around and walked in when he heard it. When he reached the door, he turned back to Fu Shi and said, "Let them in first!"

"Hey!" The two little ones were overjoyed.

Fu Shi led them into the small living room of the concierge.There were only a few guests from the Great Wasteland, and when they came, they all went straight to the east house warming room. This small living room had been left unused for a long time, and it became a nest for two little milk dogs (Hanjuan and Mantou).The hospitality function was turned on for the first time today, and two ragged little beggars were greeted.

After entering the house, the big beggar told Fu Shi what happened to them.

The two little beggars are cousins. Their family name is Tao. The older one is called Goudan and the younger one is called Donkey Dan.

Both Junping County and Nanshan County are under the jurisdiction of Shunan Prefecture. Nanshan County is close to the border, and Junping County is close to Xiliang Prefecture. The climate of the two places is not much different. Both are cold in winter and hot in summer, with four distinct seasons. Every winter, there are only two or three light snowfalls.But last year, the weather was abnormal. Junping County had a heavy snowfall just after winter, followed by days of violent snowstorms.If this matter were placed in the counties and towns of Liaodong Prefecture, it would not be a big problem. The people there are already used to the ice and snow, and they have their own emergency measures for storms. They know how to sweep snow and ice, but how can the people in Junping County This awareness!After several days of heavy snowfall, the situation in the towns is better, but most of the houses in the countryside are thatched houses and earthen embryo houses, and almost all of them have been crushed by the heavy snow, and the Taojia Village where the Tao family is located is also the same.

The villagers who lost their houses had no choice but to huddle with their families in the ancestral hall, the strongest building in the village, to avoid the wind and snow.At that time, no one mentioned the matter of fleeing famine, and everyone said that even if all the wheat in the field froze to death, it would be no problem to survive until the beginning of spring with the grain in their hands.In the spring, there are wild vegetables to eat, and they can last for two months. When the imperial court collects food in other places, they will send people to donate to the disaster. His Majesty the Emperor is a wise king and will not ignore them.

As long as everyone sticks to growing grain, they will have a way to survive next year!

When everyone was talking happily, the ancestral hall collapsed!

Mr. Tao and Donkey Dan’s father died on the spot, and Goudan’s father was hit on the head. The Tao family was originally poor. In the words of Goudan’s father, "they are so poor that they only have their belts left." Yes, grandma cried for a few days and followed.

There was no man in the house, and the local hooligans came to the door to grab food. After a few times, let alone food, they almost lost their lives.After discussing for a while, the two women, Goudanniang and Donkeydanniang, carried the only food at home and took them out to flee famine.

Enduring hunger and hunger all the way to Nanshan County.On the way, Goudanniang gave him the cotton coat, and she froze to death, and Donkeydanniang was beaten to death protecting the food. Now only the two brothers are left to depend on each other.

"Uncle, take us in! We can do anything!" Gou Dan said and knelt down again, and Donkey Dan also knelt down and said, "Take us in!"

Fu Shi's heart had softened a long time ago, but He Tao didn't speak just now, he didn't dare to answer by himself, he touched his head helplessly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and come again!"

After speaking, he rushed to the east room and said to He Tao, "Daughter-in-law, why don't we keep them?"

He Tao was changing Dongye's diaper, and turned to look at him: "What are you doing here?"

"They can do anything!" Fu Shi said.

He Tao threw away the diaper that Dong Ye had just changed, and sighed up to the sky: Can you do anything?Even if two and a half children have the heart, they are powerless!

There are already two little ones in the family that need to be worried about. Why is this her own child? She can't dislike her clearly. What's the matter with two irrelevant people coming suddenly!She also pities them, but it's not her responsibility, she is just a village woman, she never thought of being a good person!
"By the way, you also said that there is not enough staff at home, they can help with the work!" Fu Shi continued to persuade: "Well, help bring winter branches and leaves, so you don't have to worry about it!"

"Hairy! They are still children!" He Tao rolled his eyes.

Fu Shi argued: "Little sister is about the same age as them, don't you often say that she is a great help!"

"Well, let's not talk about this, don't you think there is a risk? They actually found our house!"

"This shows that they are smart!"

"You really want to keep them?" He Tao could see it.

Fu Shi nodded: "No father or mother, how pitiful."

It turned out to be your point!There are so many people without fathers and mothers in the world, do you have to take everyone home when you meet them?

But these two children were really destined to be with Fu Shi, and they were rescued by him respectively.

Fortunately, what I met was a child, not a little girl who sold herself to bury her father and was forced into prostitution, otherwise it would be a good show of life-saving favors promised by her body!
He Tao stroked her chin and thought, shouldn't it be her role as the time-traveling heroine not to cause trouble?Why did Fu Shi pick them all up?

"Daughter-in-law, please say something!" Fu Shi covered up He Tao's open mind.

He Tao sighed: "Okay, just say what you want!"

"Daughter-in-law, you don't object?" Fu Shi laughed.

He Tao stood on tiptoe and patted his head: "Who told you to be the head of the family! I listen to you!"

Fu Shi chuckled, but He Tao suddenly raised his hand and took a step back.

"What's wrong?"

"Go and wash your hair!"

"Hey?"

"There's winter leaf poo in your hair..."

"..."

"I did not do it on purpose."

"Daughter-in-law, you also have Dongye's poop on your chin..."

"..."
