Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 2
It's definitely not pleasant to sleep hungry all night.

Although my life in my previous life was very difficult, at least I never went hungry.

Now Zhu Chuanren knows how hard life is. If he says he can't eat, he really can't eat. There's no ambiguity at all!

In the middle of the night, he was woken up twice by hunger and once by cold. If the three brothers hadn't huddled on the same kang and used each other's body heat to keep warm, the number of times would have been increased.

At dawn, Zhu Chuanren heard a noise in the yard. He guessed it was his mother working. After all, their house had only four walls, so even if a thief came, they would cry!
Opening your eyes slightly, the cold air wraps around your numb scalp, minimizing people's desire to get up.

He spat out a mouthful of white mist, and it was probably not far away that the breath would turn into ice.

The smell of kerosene lamps and Zhu Chuanwu's smelly feet still lingered in the air. The two smells were mixed together, which made me feel less hungry. It was good, and I could save a meal.

Hey~
Zhu Chuanren sighed, gritted his teeth, leaned on his waist and sat up directly, yawned, and pushed Chuanwu who was snoring loudly.

"Huh?" Chuanwu trembled and asked in a daze:

"what happened?"

"My mother is already up. You should also get up quickly and help with the work."

Zhu Chuanwu was a filial man. When he heard that he was helping his mother, he didn't do anything, so he rubbed his face randomly and jumped off the kang.

He tilted his head and glanced at Chuanjie, then chuckled softly:

"This kid slept soundly. He seems to have eaten enough."

Zhu Chuanren turned his head and glanced at Chuanjie on the other side, and couldn't help but smile:

"It's rare to have a full meal, let him get some sleep."

"Okay, come out quickly, I'll help mom sweep the floor first."

"Hmm~"

It's not really winter yet, but the temperature this morning is already close to freezing point, and the north wind is blowing, making people want to take out their winter cotton-padded jackets and put them on now.

Zhu Chuanren walked out of the house with his cloth shoes hanging down, rubbing his hands to keep warm, and blowing hot air into his palms from time to time. His hands and feet were warm, and his body was not so cold.

Seeing Zhu Chuanwu using a broom as a long stick in the courtyard, Chuanren shook his head helplessly, ignored him, and went directly to his mother's inner room.

I put on a large bowl of hot water that I had boiled early, and worked until I was full of water, and my body finally warmed up.

Then he came to the kitchen and asked my mother:

"When will eldest brother come back?"

The old lady was worrying about the empty rice vat. When she heard Chuanren's words, she said without looking back:
"It only takes two or three days. Is there something wrong?"

"I may have to go out and won't be back until tomorrow, so Chuanwu has to come with me!"

Bang, Wei Chunfang threw away the gourd and scoop, turned around suddenly, with worry written on her face:
"My child, where are you going? There's chaos outside, so don't dare run around. If something happens, I can't explain it to you!"

Zhu Chuanren shook his head, took Wei Chunfang's rough hands and comforted:
"Mom, don't worry. I'm not going far away. I'm just going to go for a walk in the mountains to see if I can catch any game to replenish Chuanjie and you. It's not an option if we continue like this!"

Wei Chunfang disagreed and became quite excited:
"No, mother won't allow it. Do you know what's going on in the mountains? They are all bandits. If you are caught by them, what can mother do to save you?"

Zhu Chuanren was helpless. He had known better not to tell her earlier, so it would have been better to kill him first and then show off.

But the world has no regrets about selling medicine, so he had to show his temper and continue to explain:

"You will definitely not be able to catch him. Chuanwu and I can run fast, and we can run away even if we can't beat him. The key is that we, a family of five, must eat.

Seeing that the eldest brother is coming back, what if he doesn't borrow food?My wife is not married anymore?Are we not alive anymore? "

This is all true. It's not that Wei Chunfang doesn't understand this truth, and she also admits that Chuanren's method is promising, but she really can't rest assured.Seeing that she was about to wipe away tears, Chuanren quickly said:
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be back tomorrow morning! Regardless of success or not, you will be able to see me as soon as you wake up, okay?"

Wei Chunfang muttered and didn't know what she said. She grabbed Chuanren's hands and said:

"Tomorrow morning? Will you be back soon?"

"Yes! I promise you, tomorrow morning we will be standing in front of you with all our beards and tails!"

"Okay, then you have to be careful, safety is the most important thing, don't take risks!"

"I know mother!"

After agreeing, Zhu Chuanren walked out of the kitchen and shouted to Chuanwu who was sweating profusely from training:
"Pack your stuff and let's go!"

When Zhu Chuanwu heard this, he jumped up and down with joy. Last night, he tried his best to get a bag of crotons from the old veterinarian in the village.

Zhu Chuanren was mysterious and didn't tell him how to use Croton. He only said that he would take him into the mountains in the morning. No, this was what he dreamed about at night.

Now that he was finally setting off, how could he not be excited?

When Zhu Chuanwu thought that he would become a hero who could support his family, he couldn't help laughing three times, completely unaware of his old mother's worried eyes.

Carrying a bag of croton and the red tassel gun left by Zhu Kaishan, the two brothers set foot on the dirt road into the mountain.

After walking for a short while, they finally descended to the edge of the mountain. It would probably take half a day to find the bandits.

The two brothers had not eaten a grain of rice except water since they finished eating the batter yesterday morning. They were so hungry that they could only drink water to relieve their hunger.

Especially Zhu Chuanwu, who had no food in his stomach and had been practicing martial arts for a long time in the morning, now started to see stars in his eyes.

"Lao San, Lao San, I can't do it anymore, I'm going to faint from hunger!"

Zhu Chuanren was also hungry and uncomfortable, but the sun was good now. He had to cross the top of the mountain while there were still shadows above his head, otherwise he would not be able to leave when the sun reached his head.

The weather in this season is like this. It's extremely cold in the morning and evening, and the sun can melt you at noon.

"Now do you know the importance of saving energy?" Zhu Chuanren joked.

"I know, I know, can we take a break?"

After hesitating for a moment, Chuanren said:
"Okay, let's rest for half an hour. We have to cross the top of the mountain before the sun is at its strongest."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is, I have to take a rest!"

Zhu Chuanwu was like a scattered shadow puppet, sitting on the root of an old tree, breathing heavily.

Compared to him, Zhu Chuanren's endurance was much better, mainly because he didn't waste the morning and drank some water to recover quickly.

"I said, Third Brother, what on earth did you ask me to get these crotons for? It's already now and you still haven't told me?"

Zhu Chuanren couldn't do anything about him. His mind was like being kicked by a donkey:
"How many bandits can you fight by yourself?"

"Without weapons, it's easy to defeat four!" Zhu Chuanwu looked proud. What he was most proud of in his life was his martial arts.

However, I suddenly felt unhappy when I thought that Chuanjie was not doing much, and just used a strange force to deal with him badly.

"How many people do you think a group of bandits can have?"

"I don't know, there must be dozens of them, right?"

"So, if you don't want to find a way, are you going to rob the bandit's lair alone?"
