Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 56 Tragic Times
"Brother Li gave it to me. He said that I have received a lot of favor from you and should repay you, so he gave me the money.

You just accept it, I went there, life must be better than here, you don't have to worry about me. "Xiao Jinming said.

If he didn't say that, Brother Niu and the others wouldn't ask for the money.

Hearing this explanation, Brother Niu and the others nodded.

"Then we will take it. After you go to the big family, you have to be diligent, and remember to come back to see us when you have time." Brother Niu smiled.

"Well, I will definitely." Xiao Jinming said, but whether he can come back or not can only be left to fate.

"Okay, hurry up and bring your sister, don't make people wait too long." Brother Niu urged.

Even though the young man is kind, Xiao Jin should not let him wait too long to make a good impression.

"Brother Niu, then I'm leaving." Xiao Jinming turned his head to look at several people, he knew that after leaving, he didn't know when he would be able to come back to see Brother Niu.

They may never come back, perhaps, this is the last time they want to see each other.

Xiao Jinming came to a ruined temple to the north of the town.

In the courtyard of the ruined temple, a little girl with disheveled hair and bright eyes, about six or seven years old, was chasing grasshoppers in the grass.

"Luoluo, what are you doing?" Xiao Jinming asked.

"Brother, you're back." Hearing the voice, the little girl happily jumped out of the grass and ran towards Xiao Jinming.

"Get ready, brother will take you to live elsewhere." Xiao Jinming said.

"Where are we going?! Don't we live here?!" Xiao Luoluo raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinming with big eyes blinking.

"Well, I found a good place, and we won't have to live in a leaky temple anymore." Xiao Jinming said as he walked towards the temple.

"That's great." Xiao Luoluo jumped up happily, she didn't want to live in a ruined temple anymore, and it would leak when it rained, it's not good at all.

Soon, Xiao Jinming packed up the salute, and he took Xiao Luoluo's little hand and left the ruined temple.

When he was about to leave, Xiao Jinming looked back at the place where he had lived for half a year. Although it was a bit dilapidated, he also had some feelings.

"Let's go." Xiao Jinming took Xiao Luoluo away.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"You'll know when you arrive. You won't have to go hungry anymore, and you'll be able to eat enough every day."

"Really?!"

"Of course it's true, brother won't lie to you."

The two siblings chatted while walking, and Xiao Luoluo would be able to eat enough after listening to it, and her eyes would shine brightly when she was not hungry.

For her, as long as she can have enough food every day, it is the happiest moment.

Not long after, Xiao Jinming brought Xiao Luoluo to the woods.

At this time, Li Jin was lying on the bullock cart with his legs resting on the bull's back, his eyes closed, and when he heard someone entering the woods, he immediately opened his eyes.

Li Jin jumped off the bullock cart, and Xiao Jinming also brought Xiao Luoluo to the front.

"Is this your sister? She's so cute." Li Jin squatted down, just about to pinch Luoluo's face, but the latter retreated behind Xiao Jinming in fright.

Xiao Luoluo grabbed Xiao Jinming's leg, stuck out her small head and looked at Li Jin vigilantly.

"Don't be afraid, he's not a bad guy." Xiao Jinming turned around and hugged Xiao Luoluo.

"Come on, let my brother hug you." Li Jin stretched out his hand and smiled.

Xiao Luoluo looked at Li Jin, then at Xiao Jinming, his nose was sore for a moment, and he cried, "Brother, are you going to send me away, just like your parents send your younger brother away."

Xiao Jinming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Luoluo, when did I say I was going to give you away?"

Li Jin was also stunned, does he look like a human trafficker?

"You just said that you found a place where I can have enough food every day. That's what my parents told my brother when they sent him away.

You want to give me away, you, don't give me away, I will never eat so much again, I will be very good...don't give me away...I don't want to leave you..." Xiao Luoluo said in a crying voice, and burst into tears at the back.

She felt that her brother was going to send her away, just like how her parents sent her brother away.

"It's nothing, brother won't give you away, not in this life, don't worry." Xiao Jinming said hastily.

He also didn't expect that the fact that his father and mother gave away his younger brother left such a big shadow in his younger sister's heart.

"You lied!" Xiao Luoluo cried.

Li Jin looked at Xiao Luoluo who was crying, and fell into deep thought for a moment. In this tragic era, there are countless things about giving away his own children.

There are too many children in the family to support them. For the sake of their children, they can only choose to give them away, or sell them to a wealthy family as servants.

In this way, everyone has hope to survive.

"Brother really won't give you away, never will, trust me, okay?" Xiao Jinming comforted patiently, and he stroked Luoluo's head.

"Really, really?" Xiao Luoluo sobbed.

"Well, really." Xiao Jinming nodded earnestly, and wiped away tears with his hands.

"Then let's pull the hook." Xiao Luoluo stretched out his right little finger.

"Okay, pull the hook, hang yourself, 100 years, don't change." Xiao Jinming and Luoluo pulled the hook, and Luoluo felt relieved.

"Okay, let's go, you take your sister to the bullock cart at the back." Li Jin said, and got on the bullock cart.

After Xiao Jinming took his younger sister into the second ox cart, Li Jin drove the ox cart.

Three bullock carts lined up on the main road.

"Brother, this cow has grown so big, it feels several laps bigger than the cow raised by old Uncle Zhang."

"Brother, what is this cart pulling? Is it food?"

"elder brother………"

Along the way, Xiao Luoluo was always asking questions, chirping, and seemed to be in a good mood.

At around 02:30 in the afternoon, Li Jin returned to the woods about 300 meters away from the village with his bullock cart.

Li Jin stopped the bullock cart and jumped down, thinking of the corpses in the village, these should not be seen by the children, it would easily leave a shadow in their hearts.

"Platoon leader, what's the matter?" Xiao Jinming jumped out of the car and walked towards Li Jin.

"It's not suitable to take your sister there." Li Jin said.

"Why?" Xiao Jinming was puzzled.

"At noon, a group of devils came here to slaughter the village and killed many people. Although I killed those devils, most of the corpses have not been buried yet." Li Jin explained.

"What? The devils came to slaughter the village? I never heard that there are devils nearby." Xiao Jinming said in shock.

"I can't explain clearly. Anyway, your sister is not suitable to go there, so you two stay here and look at the goods. I will call you over after I finish disposing of the corpse." Li Jin said.

They will go there after he finishes disposing of all the corpses in the village.

"Actually, it's not necessary. We saw too many dead people on the way to escape from the famine, so it won't affect Luoluo." Xiao Jinming said.

They had seen too many people who died on the side of the road on their way to flee the famine, so it didn't affect them at all.
