Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 28 One after another bad news in the previous life

Early the next morning, Mrs. Chen got up to make breakfast for her in-laws.

The family originally only ate two meals a day, but in order to nourish their bodies, they still made a separate meal in the morning.

But she found that the rice in the cabinet was gone.Who was killed?They even stole the compensation food for war dead!

She hurried to ask the second room to catch up with the thief, but the door opened as soon as there was a knock.After seeing the emptiness inside, there is still something that I don't understand.

Mrs. Chen's eyes darkened, she couldn't believe it.

Even if Wu Erlang doesn't care about her sister-in-law and nephews and nieces, he should also take care of his own parents!

At this time, she was still lucky, and chased out of the village to have a look.I also asked several uncles who came here early in the morning to squat and brag, and they all said that they had never seen Wu Erlang's family.

So he ran away in the middle of the night, how could he catch up?

Mrs. Chen's face was ashen. Her health was already bad, but now she was hit hard and made things worse.

But at this time, he still retained a sliver of reason, and he couldn't let his parents know about this matter.

When she got home, she sat on the stool with trembling legs, called her daughter to come over and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Wu Daling pursed her lips and hesitated to speak, but finally went to the next door.

After hearing her faltering, Mrs. Song took five catties of rice for her although she was puzzled but didn't ask any further questions.

It wasn't until Mrs. Chen regained some strength that she came to the door in person, and found out that it was Wu Erlang's family who took the food and ran away.

He didn't care about anything else, and immediately went to the kitchen to take half of the family's food for the other party.It made Mrs. Chen want to kneel down for her on the spot.

Lady Song didn't dare to accept it, so she helped her up and just said.

"What is my sister-in-law doing? Now our two families are helping each other. Not to mention that my aunt still treats me like my own daughter."

It made Mrs. Chen cry again.

In fact, she is still the weak and introverted woman she used to be, and she was just supporting her family before.

In the next few days, Mrs. Chen pretended to be indifferent, but the paper could not cover the fire after all.

Aunt Ge couldn't get out of bed, and Wu Erlang and his wife wouldn't come in to see her, but Uncle Wu still often went out.

Mrs. Chen can cover up once or twice, but she can't see anyone from the second room for several days, which is wrong.

Uncle Wu rushed to the room and kicked open the door. There were not too many things missing inside, but a thin layer of dust had piled up on the table.

"Old Wu, the family... made, evil, ah!" He tried his best to yell out a word, and fell down in a daze.

"Father!" "Grandpa!"

Uncle Wu was in a hurry for a while, so he just left.

Aunt Ge heard the abnormal movement outside, and tried her best to move her body little by little.But he fell off the bed and was suffocated to death with his head on the ground.

When Mrs. Chen and her two children hadn't recovered from Uncle Wu's death, they found that Mrs. Ge was gone.This is called heaven and earth shattering.

In just one month, the Wu family held three funerals.

Because of the difficult life, I didn't do any business, so I only gave a few catties of rice and asked the village to make two thin coffins and carry them to the mountain for simple burial.

Buried the old couple next to Wu Dayuan's clothes tomb, and Mrs. Chen couldn't get sick after returning.

Looking at Mrs. Song, who had often come to talk to her since she was sick, Mrs. Chen moved her lips slightly, but she didn't say the word "take care of her children on her behalf".

I probably won't make it, but the only thing I can't worry about is the pair of children.

But Mrs. Song is still young, and she may be able to remarry with her children, so she can't bother her anymore.

Before dying, he only called his children to the bed and looked at them with regret and apology.

Xuxu told the funeral, asked the siblings to take care of each other, and asked more to go to the next door to help.There's too much to say, but...

After a burst of heart-piercing cries, Mrs. Chen's consciousness dissipated.

After helping with the funeral, Mrs. Song faced the two crying children.Didn't say much, just asked them to move things to the house.

Wu Sanlang's father-in-law's family came for the funeral. It stands to reason that the siblings should go to his third uncle, but Mrs. Song still didn't let him go after thinking about it.

It's not that the Qi family doesn't agree, it's just that after all, Wu Sanlang is the son-in-law who came to visit, and he's not at home now, so it's really not good.

But it is impossible to ask two people to be alone at home, one is 14 years old and the other is 11 years old.Especially Daling, a young girl, is very dangerous.

So I had to let the two move here.

Seriously, all of them except Mrs. Song are children, so there is no need to worry about not having enough rice in a short time.Mrs. Song also went out to buy some food from time to time and came back.

But more than a month later, news came from outside that Qizhou was besieged by the imperial army.Unlike the previous active defense, this time it is a passive defense.

Two months later, I heard that Jiang Guogong led people to break through the weakly defended Jutang Pass and marched into Qizhou.

This news made people panic, and chaos began to emerge outside, as if they were going to have the last carnival in life.

The only good news is probably that the people can now freely enter and leave Qizhou, no one cares.

Many people in the village starved to death slowly, and more people chose to take advantage of the chaos to escape.There are also many refugees who fled around and committed many murders.

Lady Song closed the door tightly every day, listening to the increasing chaos outside.Look at the few food at home, and then make up your mind.

get out!Now the only way to survive is to escape.

My own green brick and large tile house is usually good, but now it has become a reminder.If outsiders can't bear to rob, they must be the first to suffer.

But there are only a few women and children in the family, so I can't escape like this.So he took He Yanxin's clothes and quickly changed them to a size that he and Miss Wu could wear.

She caressed her clothes a few times, buried her head in it, took a deep breath, and shed tears silently.

He Yanxin didn't have many clothes left, and he put a set when he set up the tomb, which was already the last.But she still made up her mind to make the coat tattered and dirty.

To be honest, their figures are really not like men, but there is nothing they can do.

After making the remaining six catties of rice into fried rice, everyone was asked to hide some on their bodies, and put plaster on each other's faces and hands.

Then he and Miss Wu hugged He Chengze and Song Chengsi, who were not walking fast, and the five of them sneaked out of the village in the dark.

She didn't tell anyone in the village. After all, so many people left the village and didn't even think about coming to take them with them.

In fact, it can be seen from the fringe positions of the He family and the Wu family in the village that the relationship between the two families and their neighbors in the village is not that close.

After all, the two families moved to Anshan Village only a few dozen years ago, and they also fled and settled down when the wars broke out. There is still a certain difference from the native villagers here.

Although there is not much estrangement in getting along with each other on weekdays, once something happens, others will not care about it.

What's more, she is still an orphan married far away with no support behind her. He Yanxin is no longer around, so there is no need for that.

What Miss Song and others and He Yanxin didn't know was that less than three days after they left, the He family's house was broken into by the villagers who were so hungry that they lost their minds and led the refugees.

Between life and death, the evil of human nature can be brought to the extreme.Some may be for food, while others are for Mrs. Song and Mrs. Wu.

Seeing that the house was already empty, the angry people had no choice but to smash, loot and loot.

In modern terms, Mrs. Song is actually a road idiot, and the Wu family siblings have only been to town.

So a few of them originally planned to go to the county town to visit Wu Sanlang's father-in-law's family, and if they wanted to leave, they could be with each other.But I didn't know where I had strayed off the road, and I didn't dare to ask people, and even deliberately stayed away from people when I met them.

After walking for two days, I realized that I had gone the wrong way, but when I turned around, I didn't know where to go, so I had to keep walking.

Fortunately, passers-by are not interested in seeing their thin appearance, so all is well.

Later, several people encountered a group of refugees with more than 100 people. After questioning, they realized that they were going south.

It's better to have a lot of people than to walk around blindly, and there are a few people in the team who look very big.The leader seems to have a sense of righteousness, which makes people feel much safer.

After thinking about it, Lady Song decided to join them.
