Poor family mother and son

Chapter 2 Stick Scraping

When it was dark, Chu Qing finally walked to a ruined temple outside the town with Xiao Bao in his arms.

This is when she came to this town two years ago, so she has an impression.This ruined temple often has some fleeing people staying overnight here.

Sure enough, there are ruined temples in the time travel text.

Chu Qing thought about it and walked in.

The ruined temple is not big, with doors but no windows.The paint on the four walls is peeling off, and it is almost like an adobe house.

In a space of about [-] to [-] square meters, there are already more than [-] people in disorder.

Even the door was leaning against two ragged men.It doesn't look like a rogue, and the eyes of a rogue should look dangerous.It's like a refugee hiding from disaster.

In the dream, the world has never stopped the flames of war. Every year, soldiers are recruited, and there are people who flee every year.

Looking at the ruined temple, there are so many people that there is almost nowhere to go.Chu Qing hesitated.

But there is no shop in front of the village or back, this place is a shelter from the wind and rain, Chu Qing does not intend to leave.But Chu Qing was a little uneasy, in the unfamiliar world, and in such an environment, Chu Qing began to regret that he didn't find anything to use as a weapon to strengthen his courage on the road.

Holding Xiaobao in his arms, striding forward and walking to the Buddha statue like no one else, there seemed to be some space here.

Pretending to be an expert and not afraid of anything, he looked around the Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue had no golden body for a long time, it was just a mottled clay figurine, which fell on the ground, and most of its head was missing, which was very miserable.I can't tell which Buddha it is.

There is still some space behind the fallen Buddha statue, which is as narrow as a hard paved train.Because of the base, the Buddha statue was turned sideways, but it became a dividing line.There is also a candlestick upside down on the side of the base.

Candlestick!Copper with a point!Chu Qing grabbed it and put it beside her.There are weapons!
Although the space behind the Buddha statue is very narrow, some space is better than nothing.

Chu Qing had the experience of hugging a child to sleep on a hard sleeper, so she calmly lay down behind the Buddha statue with Xiaobao in her arms, pretending that she didn't see the eyes of refugees all over the floor looking at her.

And those refugees just looked at them blankly and then withdrew their eyes.

It seems that he has not yet reached the state of losing his mind due to hunger.

Put Xiaobao between the Buddha statue and himself, even if something unexpected happens, with the Buddha statue blocking him, he should not be able to see Xiaobao.

Chu Qing was leaning against the wall, holding the candlestick tightly with his left hand. This candlestick was more than 40 centimeters high, and it was quite heavy. There were three spikes at different heights on it. Well, the three-branch lampstand, the spikes were used to insert candles.

The base of the candlestick can be used as a blunt weapon, and the pointed end can be used as a sharp weapon to stab.

Something is better than nothing.

"Sleep, you won't know you're hungry if you fall asleep, and we'll leave when it dawns."

Chu Qing whispered in Xiaobao's ear.Xiao Bao still looked at Chu Qing blankly.Then, he stretched out his hand to Chu Qing, holding an egg in his hand.

"..."

Be clear, I am a little speechless at this time.I walked all the way with Xiaobao in my arms, but I didn't feel that there was something hidden on the child?
"Where did it come from?"

Xiaobao didn't respond, his movements didn't change, he still held the egg to see clearly.

"Did you play it?" Chu Qing whispered into Xiaobao's ear.I felt that Xiaobao's eyes were shaking, as if he didn't.

"Hide it well, don't show it, there are so many people outside...it's not safe."

This time Chu Qing saw it clearly, and Xiao Bao stuffed the egg into his bosom near his armpit.

Well, here, I really don't feel it when I hold him.Chu Qing touched Xiaobao's armpit on the other side, and there was something, not big, probably an egg.Xiao Bao shrank back like he was afraid of itching.

"I'm not a fool, I know how to bring some rations when I run away from home." Chu Qing thought.

It was very quiet in the ruined temple. Hiding behind the Buddha statue, there was no other sound except the sound of breathing and the occasional sound of turning over.Fortunately, it was late spring, not too cold, but not too warm either.

Holding Xiaobao, Chu Qing didn't feel cold, and was even a little thankful that Xiaobao followed him. The child has strong firepower, like a small heater.

The son was so warm when he was a child, and he didn't feel cold when holding him.

Chu Qing misses her son.That brat just slammed the door and left. Does he really not love his mother?The son didn't run away from home, did he?

Although he is a 12-year-old boy, he never looks at the road or the car when crossing the road. Don't worry about anything, will there be no accidents?The more I think about it, the more worried I become.

Chu Qing couldn't fall asleep, and completely forgot that she was crossed by the cerebral hemorrhage of anger.

He just wanted to get up and look for his son immediately, but just as he moved, he realized that Xiaobao was still in his arms, and Xiaobao was startled by Chu Qing's sudden movement, and looked up at her.

Chu Qing hugged Xiaobao tightly, and just about to comfort him, he felt the ground beneath him vibrate, not like an earthquake, like... don't feel it, I heard them all, it was the sound of horses' hooves, not just one.After a while, the sound of horseshoes stopped in front of the ruined temple.

Four men entered the ruined temple, but no one spoke.All four of them were dressed in short skirts, with knives or swords around their waists.The clothes are different colors, similar styles, and weapons are different, not like a uniform.

Chu Qing secretly rubbed his hands on the ground, wiped his face again with his dirty hands, and rubbed a layer of dirt on Xiao Bao's face.

Chu Qing didn't know if her appearance was considered good-looking, she just looked at her face in the sewage back then, it wasn't her original appearance, so she didn't remember it.

But it is really unsafe for a woman in her early twenties to stay overnight in a deserted temple.And now the only thing to do is to smudge your face.

For the rest, it depends on God's will.

Those four people checked the inside and outside of the ruined temple. None of these people in the temple dared to speak out. They had weapons on them.

A man in a brown jacket walked up to the Buddha statue.The Buddha statue is actually quite big. Although it is lying down, it is still more than one and a half meters high.

Chu Qing hugged Xiaobao tightly, lay close to the Buddha statue, closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart, "I can't see me, I can't see me".

Then when he opened his eyes, he saw the man in the brown clothes squatting on the arm of the Buddha statue, looking at him with interest.

What the hell!

Chu Qing's heart tightened, and his heart was pounding violently. Little Treasure felt such a nervous vibration, and stared at Chu Qing without blinking.

Unexpectedly, the man turned around and jumped back.As if you didn't see yourself.The man just said: "Look for a place to have a nap!" So the four of them huddled together in a corner and sat down and closed their eyes.The four of them didn't talk at all.

Chu Qing seemed to hear the sound of people in the ruined temple letting out a long breath.

There was no murder or arson, no robbery or looting, nothing happened overnight.When it was daylight, the four men mounted their horses and rode away.There was no conversation at all.

After a while, people in the ruined temple also got up one after another, Chu Qing picked up Xiaobao and walked out of the ruined temple.Don't forget to bring the candle holder.

On the first night of crossing, there was no danger, and there was hunger.

Chu Qing quickened her pace and hurried on.Don't worry about the direction, there are only two roads outside the ruined temple, this is the way when you came here, and this is the way to the town.

Chu Qing walked to the other side.Searching for memories while walking, trying to get an idea of ​​who I am now.

"Who am I?" You probably know the question. In the dream scene, the uncle and sister-in-law called "Yuan Shi" when they scolded her.Well, in the age of evil, women don't deserve names.Her husband's surname is Fang, and he is the second in the line. People in the village call him Fang's second child, and his first name seems to be Fang Shuo.

"Where am I?" This is not clear. In the Daxuan Dynasty, in April of the fourth year of Qingde, the town was called Kushui Town.never heard of that.

"What am I doing", this one is the clearest: live.

After walking for nearly two hours with Xiaobao in his arms, he couldn't move anymore. Xiaobao was also tired, his legs were imprisoned, and he was probably numb.

"Would you like to pee?"

This morning I got up and hurried on my way, without eating, drinking or going to the bathroom.

Xiaobao walked to the side without making a sound, and began to untie his pants.Chu Qing was shocked!

His son, Meng Dao, couldn't take off his pants when he was so old. He was trained by teachers for a long time in kindergarten.But Xiaobao skillfully unbuttoned his pants!skilled!

Ancient trousers did not have an elastic waist, but were tied with a belt.

Xiaobao carefully unfastened his belt (a piece of cloth one foot wide, about one and a half meters long), then folded it in half twice and hung it around his neck.

Crotch pants!

In this era, pants don’t have a crotch, right?The one she was wearing... Chu Qing was startled, felt it seriously, and even secretly pulled her trousers to reveal her crotch.Scared to death!

After draining the water, Xiaobao didn't put down the hem of his coat, but moved to the side, squatted down, and began to exert all his strength...to pull stinking smelly.

Emma, ​​do you need to change places?Chu Qing really wanted to ask Xiaobao why peeing and peeing were not handled at the same place, but after thinking about it, the child couldn't speak, so he swallowed the words back.

His son Meng Dao didn't speak when he was a child, and he didn't speak until he was almost three and a half years old.Chu Qing's mind drifted away again, and she still missed her son.

I hope my son just went downstairs to play, don't just run away from home! The 12-year-old child is the most worried about whether he is big or small.

Uneasy, Xiaobao began to shift his weight to his left foot and right foot in turn, but kept his eyes fixed on Chuqing.

Chu Qing came back to her senses and asked, "Are you finished? Can you wipe your butt?" Xiao Bao nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, where there was a small branch.

Clearly understood, there is no toilet paper, tiles or wood chips are usually used, or sticks will do.

Chu Qing rummaged through herself and found nothing, not even a handkerchief, so she reluctantly picked up the twig and handed it to Xiaobao.

Chu Qing recalled a joke she heard when she was a child, about a traveler who wanted to go to the bathroom on the road, so he found a hidden place on the side of the road.When the convenience was over and there was no toilet paper, I scratched my head and muttered: "There is no paper in the pit, what should I use?" At this time, there was a frog cry in the distance: "Guer croak... gurg croak..." The traveler clapped Head: "Yes! Stick scrape!" Then I found a stick beside me and scraped it...

Xiao Bao grabbed the branch and broke it into two pieces.Then I scraped my little butt seriously twice before standing up.It seems that the leg is numb.

Xiaobao stood for a long time before slowly leaving that place, then put down the hem of his clothes, and then took off the belt hanging around his neck. Tucked into the belt.

Chu Qing was fascinated!Incredible!Were all ancient children so self-reliant?
Xiaobao returned to Chu Qing's side, and grabbed Chu Qing's hem again.It means to keep going.Look at the sky clearly, it is estimated that it will be more than 7 o'clock, and it is time to have breakfast.

"Are you hungry?" Chu Qing asked.

Xiao Bao started to dig into his pocket again, and then handed Chu Qing the boiled egg from last night.

"Xiaobao eat, I'll carry you forward and find a place to eat."

Chu Qing didn't say that he was penniless, since the child followed him and he took him on the road, don't let the child worry.

Xiao Bao took the egg back and didn't eat it, but grabbed the hem of Chu Qing's clothes and looked at the road ahead.

Chu Qing bent down to hug him, Xiaobao pushed him away, and pointed to the road.Chu Qing grabbed Xiaobao's hand and walked forward.
