As we get closer and closer to Xishan County, the number of victims is increasing. The bark of the trees on both sides of the official road has been stripped clean, which is shocking to see.
Fortunately, the place Uncle Ma was looking for was not far from a small river, so there was no shortage of water.
Every family quickly set up a stove to cook.
When Mrs. Chen saw there was water, she boiled a large pot of water to cook dumplings.
He didn't dare to cook the pork-filled dumplings, so he asked Gu Fei to secretly take the wild vegetable-filled dumplings and cook them in two large pots.
Mrs. Chen also sent Gu Fei and several brothers to give a few to each family.
The dumplings sent to Qian's side were naturally for Bao'er alone. Qian made some cereal paste, scraped the bottom of the pot, and divided it into three bowls. Gu Zhong had a big bowl, and she and Xing'er had one each. Small bowl.
Lian'er was carrying water and making fire, but nothing was shared.
Lian'er stood in a daze for a long time, then suddenly walked up to Qian and said loudly: "Auntie, why don't you have my dinner?"
Qian didn't expect that this girl would dare to ask her for dinner, so she raised her eyebrows and picked up a He lit a fire stick and beat her head and face, "How dare you talk about having dinner? What have you done all day? Do you deserve to eat?"
Gu Fei was furious as she watched from the side. Just as she was about to say something, Chen held her back and whispered. She said in a loud voice: "I told you to leave her alone. That wife of the Qian family has a bad idea. She just wants you to see it. If you give Lian'er a bite to eat, she won't have to raise Lian'er."
She said. Bah, "What a beautiful idea. She can do it herself and let my family raise her!"
Gu Fei thought about it, maybe this is really the case.
It's just this person who can't escape the word "love".
Although Gu Fei felt sorry for Lian'er at first, it was nothing more than a kindness to strangers.
Now that we have been together for a few days and watched Lian'er go through such a tragic incident, now that Lian'er is no longer an irrelevant person, it is no longer easy to pretend not to have seen it.
Gu Fei was eating dumplings and thinking about her mother's words. When she saw Qian still beating Lian'er with a fire stick, she couldn't help it anymore. She gritted her teeth and stood up with the bowl, walked to Qian and said coldly. "Auntie, stop fighting. Since you don't like this girl Lian'er, why not sell it to me and I'll give you a bucket of cornmeal."
Lian'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Qian with expectation.
Qian looked at Gu Fei and suddenly smiled. Gu Fei is really stupid. Can't you stand watching her beat Lian'er?
Qian stood up and said, "Xiao Fei, nothing is so cheap in the world. If you want to buy Lian'er, it's not impossible. If you give me ten buckets of cornmeal, I will give you Lian'er. Otherwise, five buckets of white flour will do."
Chen At this time, Shi hurried over and took a hard "poof", "Sister-in-law, I think you are crazy!"
She pulled Gu Fei, "Go away, ignore her, she will sell ten measures of cornmeal to whomever she likes." Who are you going to give it to? My family won't buy it anyway."
Gu Fei looked back at Lian'er, who shook her head and told her not to worry about her.
After walking only a few steps, Gu Fei suddenly heard Bao'er's cry, "Mom, she's snatching my dumplings!"
Gu Fei turned around and saw Lian'er holding a dumpling in her hand, her mouth bulging. Chewing desperately.
Qian Shi screamed, "Damn girl, you've rebelled!" She ran towards Lian'er with a fire stick in hand.
When Lian'er saw her coming, she quickly walked left and right in the crowd and ran away.
It was already dark at this time, and there was no other light except the stove fires used for cooking in every household. Lian'er ran into the darkness, but Qian didn't dare to chase her, so she had to turn around with a curse.
