Escape from the desert

The faint oil lamp on the table behind the door trembled and swayed in the howling cold wind, and the flame seemed to be extinguished in the next moment. Jiang Yan's eyes fell on the dying old man Jiang, and her tone softened a bit.

"There are a lot of guests today, and everyone in the family is a bit busy. I didn't take Xiaodouzi and Erbi into account. I just sent away the helpers from the village, only to find that the child is missing. Did you see it?"

This question was not only about old man Jiang, but also Jiang Dazhu's family. It was impossible for Jiang Sanzhu to leave without any movement.

Jiang Dazhu and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other, their expressions remained unchanged. They did hear the movement, but they really didn't know where Jiang Sanzhu went.

"Ma'am, I didn't find anyone else in the house, I searched the front and back yards."

Shi Zhong and Ma San looked disappointed. Looking at the already dark sky, they couldn't help feeling worried. Xiaodouzi and Erbi were very friendly to them on weekdays, and would call them uncle sweetly. Get along like relatives and friends.

Jiang Yan's face darkened slightly, and her heart became more and more anxious.

"Little aunt."

The big girl who had been standing quietly behind the adults yelled in a low voice, her cowardly eyes swept across the old lady Jiang and Jiang Huai in a panic, as if mustering up a lot of courage, she took a deep breath before saying: "I... I know that Xiaodouzi and Erbi are..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang covered Da Ya's mouth, her rough palm almost covered Da Ya's entire small face, leaving only a pair of frightened eyes staring like copper bells.

"Big! Don't talk nonsense! Your sister-in-law is cruel, don't talk nonsense, she will stab your third uncle's neck!"

Old lady Jiang's face turned pale, flustered, and her body trembled uncontrollably. The crevices in her wrinkled face were squeezed more clearly. The guilty old lady trembled when she spoke, and she didn't even dare to meet Jiang Yan's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yan was sure that the old lady knew about Jiang Sanzhu going out, and maybe even knew that he had abducted the child, but she acquiesced!
Jiang Yan smiled sadly, the cruelty in her eyes became more and more obvious, the inexplicable sense of oppression made the old lady breathless, she dodged her eyes and dared not look at Jiang Yan,

"Ma San, pull old lady Jiang away."

Hearing this, Ma San immediately cooperated to pull the old lady Jiang away. The old lady still wanted to struggle and play, but it was all in vain under the hands of a strong horse. .

The loud noise made people upset, Jiang Yan waved at Ma San, Ma San immediately understood, he lowered his eyes and glanced around, seeing that there was nothing useful, he had to drag the old lady to the chicken shed, and grabbed a handful on the spot The hay was stuffed into the old lady's mouth whole.

Old Madam Jiang didn't want to, so she opened her mouth and wanted to continue yelling. Instead, she was stuffed even deeper by the rough grass, and the sharp edge of the grass cut her mouth because of her struggling. Whenever she moved her mouth, she whimpered and groaned in pain. non-stop.

Jiang Yan didn't care about it, and other people didn't dare to go up to help easily. Ma San was a Lianjiazi, but no matter where he stood, people didn't dare to approach him, so he could only watch the old lady cry.

Jiang Yan patted Daya who was trembling with fright, and said softly, "Daya, tell aunt, where did your third uncle take Xiaodouzi and the others?"

The big girl shrank her shoulders, and the jumping flames shone on her pale face from time to time. Her eyes were full of fear, and she looked at Jiang Yan from time to time, and from time to time she looked at the sobbing old lady Jiang not far away.

"Da Ya, if you know where Xiaodouzi and Erbi are, please tell your little aunt."

Hearing Jiang Dazhu's words, Da Ya's pale face remained unchanged, she just nodded cautiously, she knew that her father could not protect her, but she herself was also worried about Erbi and Xiaodouzi.

"Big Ya, tell little aunt where Xiaodouzi and the others are. It's dark now, and there are many beasts and insects in the mountains. Little aunt is worried about them."

"Little aunt, Erbi was taken away by Third Uncle. When it was getting dark, I heard Third Uncle and Sister Xiuhua say that they would take Erbi away, saying that they had found a good place for Erbi..."

"Big girl, don't talk nonsense. Your third uncle is drunk and can't even walk steadily. Then he can take Erbi and Xiaodouzi away. Don't think that you can talk nonsense when you are young. If your third uncle Got it, I won't break your leg by then!"

Jiang Huai threatened coldly, he didn't know how to smile, but felt gloating.

Jiang Yan turned her head, staring straight at Jiang Huai with deep eyes, the naughty Jiang Huai, who gloated and laughed subconsciously, subconsciously quieted down, and even inexplicably felt a chill down her back, and her laughter stopped abruptly.

Jiang Yan didn't look back, looking at Jiang Huai's expression could be said to be ferocious and cruel, but her voice was gentle and calm: "Big girl, you continue to talk, don't worry, with my little aunt here, I can guarantee that no one in the Jiang family can hurt you." you!"

Da Ya continued: "I didn't hear where they were going, but at night, Erya and I saw Third Uncle and Sister Xiuhua leave."

"Shi Zhong Ma San, go to the village to find him! He must still be in the village!"

Jiang Sanzhu probably didn't intend to take Xiaodouzi away, but today Xiaodouzi has been following Erbi all the time, so he probably had no choice but to take him away together, even if he wanted to sell him to another place, it would have to be dawn anyway.

It was dark and the road was slippery. They were either in the village or in the nearby fields. Even if they were brave enough to drive at night, they should still be on the road.

"Jiang Yan! You don't really believe what a bratty girl says, do you? It's not like you haven't seen what the third child is drinking today. He might take away Erbi and them." Jiang Huai couldn't help but speak.

Jiang Yan turned around, her eyes became more stern, and the aura on her body suddenly became murderous. Jiang Huai, who was stared at by her, couldn't help shrinking back. As Jiang Yan approached, she subconsciously held her breath.

"Jiang Ergou, in the end, you pray that Jiang Sanzhu really did not take away Erbi and Xiaodouzi as you said, otherwise, I will make you never see him again!"

Jiang Yan narrowed her eyes, her indifferent words were as scary as the death sentence of the official, and the second sister-in-law of Jiang Huai who had been standing beside Jiang Huai was also trembling with fright.

Jiang Yan turned around and left the old house. Ma San threw the old lady Jiang on the ground, and the free old lady immediately clamored to beat the big girl who was hiding in the corner of the table.

Before she could get close, Ma San restrained her again.

"Ma San, take them back to their new house." Jiang Yan called after walking away.

"What? Take us to a new house?" The old lady Jiang, who had been in a panic, immediately changed her expression when she heard this. She almost laughed out loud at the thought of being able to live in a new house.
