Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 12 There are locusts

The sun was scorching, so Li Zheng comforted the old people in the village and continued on his way. Not far ahead was Ningyuan Town.

Li Zheng found a place under the shade of a tree, and everyone sat under the shade to enjoy the cool air.

The old lady's legs were a little numb from sitting on the donkey cart, and she beat her legs with both hands: "Oh, I can finally rest. People who walk are tired, but we who ride in the cart are also tired. My second daughter-in-law, please help grandma down. .”

Liang Shuyan asked her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, to take care of the children, and she helped the old lady to the market!
Sanwang dropped the whip in his hand and followed closely.

"You brat, why are you here?" Originally, Liang Shuyan wanted to talk to the old lady about herself, stroll around the town, and buy something to eat, but she didn't expect that Jin Sanwang actually followed her.

He rubbed his hands together: "Mom, I'm bored staying alone anyway. I just want to follow my mother around!"

"Walking around? What are you thinking about? We came out to escape, but you are in the mood to go shopping?"

But the old lady looked at Sanwang dotingly: "It's okay, Sanwang, as long as grandma is here, your mother will not drive you away, just follow grandma!"

Liang Shuyan couldn't care less about it. With the old lady's support, what else could she complain about Sanwang?I can only let him follow behind me.

People are coming and going in the town, and there are various stalls on the roadside, including those selling wontons and some selling cold skin. There are shouts one after another, and you can smell the fragrance from a distance.

The man selling steamed buns next to him was wearing an apron. When he saw Liang Shuyan and three people walking over, he went up to chat with her: "You guys are from out of town. Try our steamed buns. They have all kinds of fillings. They are delicious." !”

The boss's enthusiasm gave Liang Shuyan no time to refuse, so she just followed him in.

Sanwang stood aside, looking at the hot buns eagerly, his mouth watering. He knew that his mother would not have the money to buy buns for them, but it would be nice to smell the buns.

"Mom, how about we eat two buns?"

Li Lanfang glanced at Liang Shuyan, hesitated and said: "Where can I get the money to eat buns? We are fleeing from famine now. We don't know what we will encounter on the way. We must not waste a little money."

Liang Shuyan stepped forward and whispered a few words in the old lady's ear. The old lady hesitated for a moment, pointed to the noodle shop opposite and said, "In that case, let's go to the noodle shop to have a bowl of noodles!"

Liang Shuyan thought about it, didn't her mother always like to eat noodles?Since she said she wanted to eat noodles, then she should finish the noodles, right?
"Sanwang, have you seen that man selling candied haws on a stick? Go over and buy a bunch of candied haws for each of the children!"

Jin Sanwang nodded, took the silver handed over by his mother, turned around and left.

The shopkeeper who sold the buns asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to try our buns?"

Liang Shuyan glanced at the hot steamed buns and said, "Okay, please bring us 20 steamed buns, ten each of vegetarian and meat fillings!"

"okay!"

After a while, Jin Sanwang ran over with a paper bag, panting: "Mom, I bought candied haws, and several children have a share!" Liang Shuyan handed the bun in her hand to Sanwang: "Take it, After a while, share it with them!"

"Mom, you actually have money to buy steamed buns. With so many steamed buns, don't they cost a lot of money?"

"Oh, it's okay. Your grandma just pawned her dowry. Your grandma said she couldn't bear to see her grandchildren starving!"

Liang Shuyan's lie was so red-faced that the old lady blinked her eyes and didn't react for a long time. Liang Shuyan hurriedly poked her, and then she continued: "Oh, yes, that bracelet on grandma's body. Although it is said that my parents paid for it, the things are dead after all, and there is no use holding them, so why not exchange them for us to use on the road?"

With tears in his eyes, Sanwang grabbed the old lady's hand and said excitedly: "Grandma, that's your dowry. How can this be possible? Grandma!"

The old lady was so excited that she cried when she saw her grandson. She quickly helped Sanwang up: "Get up, let's go, let's go eat noodles!"

Sanwang rubbed his eyes, but began to mutter in his heart: "Grandma's dowry, such a valuable thing, how come you have to go to a noodle shop to squander it if you don't block the money? This is to buy sugar haws, and buy steamed buns to eat noodles, how much is it? Where’s the silver?”

There were quite a lot of people in the noodle shop, so Liang Shuyan found a seat by the window and sat down.

Li Lanfang looked around the noodle shop: "It looks like there are quite a lot of people. I didn't expect that on the same day, the people in Ningyuan Town seem to be living a good life. Why can't we set foot here?"

"Mom, this place is too close to our Guoshan Village. Even if everything seems to be safe in Ningyuan Town now, if there are real refugees, they will definitely not be safe here."

Just as he was talking, the waiter came over with a bowl of noodles and politely replied: "This is your noodles, the one with more chili peppers!"

Liang Shuyan was a filial person and knew that her mother liked to eat chili peppers, so she specifically asked the waiter to add more chili peppers. After hearing what the waiter said, the old lady looked at Liang Shuyan gratefully.

"Grandma, when did you start to like spicy food?"

Sanwang is smarter than the other children. With his small eyes staring at the old lady's eyes, Liang Shuyan reacted quickly: "Your grandma always liked spicy food, but she didn't have this condition in the past. Today's mother When I saw the chili pepper, I asked the waiter to add some!"

Jin Sanwang said oh, and then two bowls of noodles were served. He politely handed a bowl of noodles to Liang Shuyan: "Mom, thank you for your hard work. During this period, you have to take care of the family and grandma. You Eat quickly."

Just when she was about to move her chopsticks, Liang Shuyan stared at another bowl of noodles on the table, and saw a huge locust stopping on the edge of the bowl. She waved to the waiter: "What's going on? There are also locusts in your noodle shop as gifts." Woolen cloth?"

When everyone heard Liang Shuyan's words, their eyes instantly shrank, and they all looked towards them. The old lady was a visitor, so she naturally saw the locust at a glance. She clapped her hands hard, and the locust fell to the ground. On the ground, Sanwang suddenly panicked and trampled the locust until it was completely dead.

"No, there are locusts. Quick, run!" The group of people didn't even bother to eat, and hurriedly escaped from the noodle shop square.

When the shopkeeper came out and saw that the whole room was gone, Liang Shuyan and her group were the only ones left in the noodle shop.

"Where are the poor beggars? They just eat. How can they drive everyone out of our shop?"
