Chapter 3 The sensible child

"Father, make a decision quickly. Lizheng said that we have to set off today. If we are delayed and cannot keep up with the villagers, we will be in danger!" An Zicheng was poked by his wife Liu Mei, looking at Old Man An reminded him.

"Yeah, Dad, I heard that everyone in the village is already gathering, and they may be leaving!" An Zihang, the second son of the An family, also spoke. He is a man who is used to calculating. .

The third child, An Zikang, is simple and honest. Ge Mingyu is the head of the third house. Although they haven't separated yet, it will always be Ge Mingyu who speaks out. An Zikang only knows how to work hard.

After the two brothers reminded Old Man An, the others all stared at him, waiting for him to make a move.

Xia Qiyue couldn't wait, and said again, "Father, I'm begging you for the fourth child, so you can separate our fourth room! Even if the fourth child comes back in the future, I won't let him blame you! Today we are divided Home is what I asked for! I will not blame you for life and death in the future!"

Old man An was still hesitating, but Mrs. An next to him pushed him, "Old man, otherwise, let them go out! If we don't solve it, it will be too late!"

She also heard the noise outside. It was obvious that people were already leaving the village, and it would be too late if they didn't leave.

"it is good!"

After a long time, Old Man An made a difficult decision and nodded in agreement with Xia Qiyue's request.

"Thank you dad!" Xia Qiyue felt relieved.

"There's nothing to share at home. The famine is imminent. There are only two bags of water in the house, which look like ten catties, and the rations are not much. Yesterday, your mothers were all made into steamed buns! I will share a catty and a half of water with you." , six wild vegetable buns, from now on your life and death will have nothing to do with Lao An's family! You have to take care of yourself!"

Separation is as simple as that. After two years of drought, the rations that should be eaten are almost enough. It is said to be wild vegetables, but in fact there are mostly wild vegetables in it, and there is not much food, and the wild vegetables are not poisonous. As for whether they are good or not, No one cares about it, it's bitter and sour, it's good to fill your stomach.

Xia Qiyue knew that no matter how many she asked, it would be impossible to meet, so she nodded happily.

Although her lottery space is a bit tight, she doesn't believe that she won't be able to draw life-saving things after a few more days. After all, she is a time traveler, and God can't force her to die.

The old lady hurried forward to take the water bag from Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue ran back to the four-bedroom house and took away the only water bag, which seemed to hold three catties of water.

He didn't even care to glance at the children on the kang, and ran to the upper room.

Others have already packed their things in full swing, preparing to flee the famine.

The old lady didn't write any ink, and quickly gave Xia Qiyue what the old man had promised to give to Si Fang.

It was really six dark wild vegetable buns, and the old lady Shui didn't give too much, and she knew at a glance that they were not enough for a catty and a half, and a little bit worse.

But Xia Qiyue didn't have time to worry about so much, she twisted the water bag, picked up the steamed bun and ran back to the room.

I saw that the two little fellows on the kang looked at her with their eyes open, An Qingxuan relaxed a little, but An Qingke also looked much better.

"Hurry up, drink some water and eat some steamed buns, we have to follow the team to flee famine!" Xia Qiyue climbed onto the kang, unscrewed the water bag, and handed it to her daughter first.

"Mother, Ke'er is much better, just now my brother left half a sip of water for Ke'er to drink! You should drink some first!"

Only a three-year-old child, what he said made people gasp in distress.

Looking at these two sensible children, Xia Qiyue's eyes were slightly red, and she still firmly put the water bag against her daughter's mouth, "Ke'er, drink a couple of sips to regain some strength, otherwise I'm going to run away from famine soon, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it! Be good! Drink it!"

No matter what, he was only a three-year-old child, but An Qing could not resist the temptation in the end, and opened his mouth to drink the water.

Xia Qiyue let the little guy drink two or three sips, and then handed it to An Qingxuan who was beside him.

The elder brother only uttered a cup of tea earlier than the younger sister. Speaking of which, the two children were about the same age, but her son still remembered to take care of his younger sister under such circumstances, which made her very pleased.

An Qingxuan didn't waste time, took two sips of water directly by her hand, and sighed after drinking, the feeling of drinking water was so comfortable.

Xia Qiyue drank a couple of sips herself, took six wild vegetable buns out of her pocket, broke one with her hands, gave half to each of the two little guys, broke one herself, and took the rest The four and a half of them put it back into the cloth bag again, and the three mother and son sat on the kang, facing each other, and ate wild vegetable buns one by one.

Xia Qiyue choked a few times, it was really hard to swallow, but she had to eat, if she didn't eat, her body would not be able to replenish, and fleeing from famine was imminent, and she brought two three-year-old dolls with her, fearing that something might happen.

In the year of fleeing famine, cannibalism abounds, she can't be careless.

Outside, the old An's family had already gone out with ping-pong-pong. They were a big family and had a lot of things. They were divided into two carts to push them, and everyone had a lot of things hanging on them.

When old man An passed by the door of the fourth room, he couldn't hold back after all, and reminded him aloud, "Old fourth daughter-in-law, the family is leaving! Hurry up and follow!"

Xia Qiyue heard the old man's reminder by accident, and hurriedly responded.

It just so happened that the wild vegetable steamed buns were finished, so she let the two children take a breather, and she got up and packed out the unpacked luggage just now.

A total of one quilt and one quilt, one person, two ragged clothes, and half water bag, four and a half wild vegetable buns.

As for other things, they don't have them. They usually eat in the room, so they don't have bowls and chopsticks. The washbasins are missing corners and sides.

Xia Qiyue rolled up the bedding and clothes together, and threw the water bag and wild vegetable buns directly into the space, which was safer.

If it wasn't for the fear of being suspected, she would have wanted to throw everything into the space, but there was no way, they had to follow the large team in the village to flee the famine, so it would be very difficult to rest without bedding.

He saluted with his back on his back, and led the two wobbly children who had no strength to walk, and walked out.

She was really afraid that the two children would collapse if they could not get out of the village.

The two children were sensible, and none of them made a fuss for her to hug, so they followed her out with difficulty.

The three mother and son went out of the house to take a look. Sure enough, Lao An's family had already left, and the courtyard door was just wide open, which was extremely desolate and desolate.

Xia Qiyue saw a big back basket in front of the door, and her eyes lit up.

I don't know who left it for her on purpose or forgot to take it. Anyway, this backpack has helped her a lot.

She hurried over and put the salute on her back into the pannier. The quilt was thin and there were not many clothes, and there was still half of the space in the pannier.

She picked up the pannier and walked over, "Xuan'er, Ke'er, you sit in the pannier! Mother is carrying you!"

The two little guys waved their hands repeatedly, and An Qingxuan said, "Mother, let's go by ourselves, we can do it!"

The small face is full of determination, thin and sunken cheeks, and a face of righteousness.

An Qing also waved her hands, saying that she should not sit in the back basket.

Looking at these two sensible children, Xia Qiyue suddenly felt that coming here was not fruitless, at least she had such a lovely pair of children.
