Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Although it would take dozens of miles to go around the two rivers here and go back, it was still better than losing a life.

Unexpectedly, they would continue to move forward and agreed to go with them. This could really be called an unexpected surprise.

He said to Qingyan repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm going to call my mother-in-law over right now. She's just sitting there waiting. We'll be back soon."

After saying that, she ran towards the back. Qingyan also looked over and saw a long stone at the corner, with a chubby old lady sitting on it.

The old lady was chubby, and her clothes were much better than those of the two girls. Although they were not made of good material, at least they were not patched.

The three of them stood together like a landowner facing two tenants. They really didn't look like a family.

Jin Yang said hesitantly: "Do we really want to take them with us? Isn't it inconvenient?"

Even if the other party says he doesn't want to take the car, it will definitely be inconvenient if there are three more people.

Qingyan shook her head, "It's okay, it's only a dozen miles away. Even if the road is difficult, we can get there in an hour at most.

If there is a chance, we can also go meet those bandits and deal with them, maybe there will be some merit. "

When she just spoke, she used her spiritual consciousness to explore forward. She found that Jingshan didn't cover a very large area that day, and the mountain road was only three or four miles long, so she reached the opposite side.

She didn't see any cottages in the mountains. She thought that their den of thieves was not in the mountains, but maybe in some village. It would be difficult to find it, and she would have to wait until someone came out to rob it to confirm.

The next town is not too far away. A few miles past Tianjing Mountain is a town called Sanwantou, which should be where the three ladies are going.

Soon the woman and her daughter came over supporting the mother-in-law. Before coming, the three of them said goodbye to the people in a shop not far behind, who must be their family members. They also took out a bundle from inside, which must be It has been packed up a long time ago and ready to leave at any time.

To be honest, her mother-in-law didn't really need their support, she was much stronger than them, and her walking posture could have been as fast as flying without the drag of the two of them.

Qingyan didn't really let them follow the car. She was not that hard-hearted and it was a waste of time. She knew that their tutorial would not be fast.

She just let them sit in the car. Anyway, she had put away everything that shouldn't be in the car, especially the leather mattress underneath, and placed a small table in the middle so that they could sit on both sides.

It won’t take long anyway, just sit down and sit.

At first, the three of them were too embarrassed to come up and declined. Only after Qingyan "threatened" them that they were walking too slowly and would not wait for them, did the three of them get in the car.

They were very reserved after getting in the car. Qingyan and Yuanbao sat on one side. Seeing that the three of them were crowded together, they called the little girl to her side.

Qingyan asked them a few questions, and the three of them relaxed a little and even reported their names.

When the mother-in-law's surname is Xiao, Qingyan can just call her Mrs. Xiao. Of course, Qingyan can't call her that, so she calls her Aunt Xiao.

The daughter-in-law's surname is also Xiao, and her name is Xiao Danniang. She is the distant niece of Aunt Xiao's mother's family. She married her second son, which is considered a close relationship.

The little girl's name is Li Huier. She is nine years old this year. Qingyan was a little surprised. She looked like she was seven years old at most, but she didn't expect that she was already nine years old. It seemed that she was too thin due to malnutrition.

I originally thought that they had a mean mother-in-law who favored boys over girls. She was often harsh and had to work hard and didn't have enough to eat, which was why the two of them were so miserable. However, after a simple chat and looking at Aunt Xiao's face, I found that this was not the case.

Aunt Xiao is a loving mother-in-law and grandma, and Xiao Danniang and Li Huier are like this purely because they can't let go.

Yes, it’s just that she can’t part with it, can’t bear to eat it, and leaves all the good things to the men in the family. This is a habit that Xiao Danniang developed in her mother’s family.

She had been brainwashed when she was in her parents' home. The family valued boys over girls. Whatever good things were good, she had to stick to the men first, and the leftovers from the men belonged to the women in the family.

The same goes for clothes and supplies, so her thinness was due to malnutrition when she was in her mother's family, and it was still the same when she came to her husband's family. After giving birth to a daughter, she felt that she was sorry for her husband's family, and she didn't dare to eat enough, for fear that her husband's family would not want her.

Even the daughter is the same. She still uses her mother's family's way of raising her daughter. This will result in another poor child.

The only good thing is that she is not a Voldemort, so she won't get anything good from her brothers and sisters, she is just looking out for her husband.

But because of this, her physical fitness has always been poor, and she has never been pregnant again after giving birth to her daughter.

And because of this, she felt even more ashamed of the Li family. The more she wanted a son, the less she had one. The less she had, the more guilty she felt, and the less she regarded herself as a human being. This became an endless cycle.

These were all summed up by Qingyan from what they said between them. Afterwards, she took out some tea and snacks for them to eat because she heard the little girl's stomach growling all the time.

As a result, the little girl didn't eat it at all, and kept asking her younger brother to eat it. The younger brother here was talking about ingots.

Then Xiao Danniang also kept saying that we are not worthy of eating such good food, so just give the young master less food.

The old lady looked at the two of them with helpless expressions on their faces. Qingyan finally understood the stubbornness of the mother and daughter.

Yuan Baodu's face was as fat as a big meat bun, and his neck was almost invisible. He didn't look like he was short of food.

Qingyan simply forced the pastry into the little girl's hand and asked her to eat it quickly.

The little girl looked at her mother at a loss. Qingyan turned her hand and stuffed a piece into each of the old lady Lai and Xiao Danniang.

He said to them: "Eat quickly, these are all the leftovers from our meals. If you don't eat, you will look down on us."

Xiao Danniang originally wanted to say something, but when Qingyan said this, she had to swallow it back.

Li Huier still looked at Xiao Danniang, until she nodded, then she put the pastry in her mouth and took a small bite.

While eating, he looked at Yuan Bao, as if if Yuan Bao wanted it, he would give it to him immediately.

Yuanbao is not greedy for cakes. It is a pure carnivore, so it would be nice to have a taste.

Now he was holding the carriage window to look out, and he pointed it out to Qingyan from time to time. His little face was smiling red, which made people curious.

Xiao Danniang said enviously while eating snacks: "Madam, you are really lucky. She gave birth to a big fat son with her first child."

Qingyan looked at her speechlessly, and Aunt Xiao also had the same expression. What kind of look was that? She clearly wore her hair in a girlish bun, and she looked like she was not married. She kept calling her madam. It was really... ... Aunt Xiao didn't say anything to her directly. After all, she was her daughter-in-law, so she still had to give her some face.

Instead, he turned to Qingyan and said, "Is this your brother, girl? He's really handsome."

Qingyan nodded and smiled: "Yes, this is my younger brother, and the one driving the car outside is my older brother."

Madam Xiao Dan realized that she had made a mistake. She thought Jin Yang and Qing Yan were a couple and Yuan Bao was their child.

Mainly because Yuanbao's appearance really took the best of both Qingyan and Qingyan. She looked like they were a family, so she made the impression first.

Unexpectedly, they were brothers, so they blushed in embarrassment and apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm rude. Don't blame me, girl. I'm so blind that I thought you were a family of three."

Qingyan waved her hands and said nonchalantly: "There is indeed a big age difference between us and my younger brother. We have been mistaken for each other many times along the way. My sister-in-law is not the first one, so don't take it to heart.

There is also tea here, and the pastries are a bit dry. Please drink some tea to soften them. "

As he spoke, he pushed the teapot and teacup towards them, and divided the pastries among them.

Qingyan had to go down the steps, and Xiao Danniang felt relieved. She was afraid that she would offend others because she couldn't speak.

After eating two pieces of pastries and drinking a cup of tea, the three of them had some food in their stomachs. They had actually eaten breakfast, but it was almost noon so they were hungry again.

Also, Xiao Danniang and her daughter did not give themselves enough to eat at their own home, so they had even less food at their uncle's home.

It's not that I'm not hungry, I'm just used to treating myself harshly.

Now that they had eaten cakes and drank tea, and the carriage was driving smoothly, the two of them were a little drowsy.

Qingyan directly gave them two sheepskin pillows and let them rest against the wall of the carriage.

Anyway, it can't go any faster at this speed. I can only squint for a while.

Then she and Aunt Xiao lowered their voices and continued chatting. She also wanted to find out about the bandits. Aunt Xiao had been living here and she should be able to hear some news.

Cloister Town is her eldest son's home. Aunt Xiao's eldest son has opened a grocery store here. The business is not bad, at least he can support his family.

Aunt Xiao lives here with her boss. After all, most elderly people live with their boss.

The second child's side is the ancestral home. The eldest brother made a name for himself here, so he left the property there to his younger brother.

The reason why I took Aunt Xiao back was because the second brother saw that his brother was doing well and wanted to do business and open a shop.

It's just that his eldest brother's side is just a couple and my mother. If he asks his eldest brother to go back and take him, he won't be able to do it, so he thought of asking his mother to go back and take him.

After all, Aunt Xiao has been helping to look at the shop for several years, and she has learned a lot about things. She also knows some channels for purchasing goods. Anyway, the two shops are not in the same town, and there is no competition.

He was supposed to come to pick up his mother, but the shop over there had just been rented and was being cleaned up. Several craftsmen were hired. It would definitely be inconvenient to leave Xiao Danniang and her daughter at home, so he couldn't leave for a while, so he had to let her go. The mother and daughter came to pick her up.

What's more, they really didn't know that there were bandits in Tianjing Mountain. If they knew, they couldn't let the two of them come over.

Those bandits have not always been there, but appeared half a year ago. Otherwise, the second son of the Li family would come here every year during the holidays to visit my mother and brother, and he would have never encountered them.

Xiao Danniang also came here the day before the New Year, and wished the head of the family a happy New Year. She thought she would go back with her mother-in-law after the New Year.

The two towns are not far apart, and it only takes half an hour to reach them by walking directly.

This small amount of road is really nothing to ordinary people. You must know that it takes half a day and a day for ordinary people to go from the village to the town or county.

According to Aunt Xiao, those bandits suddenly appeared at the end of August last autumn. At first, they robbed some passing businessmen or passers-by who were in good condition, but did not rob ordinary poor people.

Fortunately, the eldest son of her family mostly went to the west to purchase goods, and usually did not go to the east. Even when he went back to worship his ancestors, it was only once every three years, and the second eldest son always came to see her during the New Year and festivals.

"The second brother came to see us during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then he will come during the Chinese New Year. These bandits appeared not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At first they only targeted some rich people and businessmen, but later everyone found out and either took a long way around or went to the west to buy goods, but they didn't dare to go there. Then those bandits couldn't rob the rich. The queen began to attack ordinary passers-by.

When they couldn't get enough money from robbery, they started killing people to vent their anger. As far as I know, at least twenty people have died by now.

Many of the people who were robbed survived. They all had some money on them and used it to ward off the disaster. So everyone knew that if you wanted to go through this way, you should bring some money with you, otherwise you would not go through this way. However, that money is the money to buy your life.

But how can ordinary people like us have so much money? The most we can scrape together is a few taels of silver, which is a year's harvest.

But it is said that if a person has less than five taels, someone will die. The three of us only have fifteen taels, which is impossible to make up.

So we came up with a stupid idea and looked at the passers-by every day to see if there were any businessmen or the like, and begged them to follow us.

Because basically none of the family members of the merchants who were robbed were killed or injured..."

After saying that, she said to Qingyan with some embarrassment: "Actually, let me say, you might as well take a detour. Although no one has been injured before, you are just afraid of what happens. Who knows if those bandits will be very vicious?" Hair.

And the girl is so pretty, it would be too dangerous to go there. If the girl can trust me, we will go south on the branch road more than a mile ahead. We can reach Guandao by walking for more than ten miles.

Although it is a bit detoured, it is much safer. There is still a county town that can be passed in another ten miles. My shop used to go there to buy goods, but the distance was a bit far, so I switched to the county town in the west. "

To be honest, she regretted it as soon as she saw Qingyan after getting in the car. She was really afraid that if she met those bandits, they would not only steal money but also sex.

So what she said now was to let them take a detour. If they regretted it, they could just go back.

Of course, in this way, the three of them can also go around together. A carriage is better than walking.
