Jin Liangyu

Chapter 14 Hiding on the Mountain
  "Dad, there is a cave in the west mountain. I discovered it accidentally. The cave is about a foot above the ground. There is a huge boulder in front of it. There are also many short trees growing beside the cave entrance. If I don't go close and pull it, I will definitely You can’t find it. Also, the cave is very spacious, and it won’t be crowded even if there are more than a dozen people there.”

"Do you want them to live on the mountain forever?"

"Well, at least wait until Ayu is out of confinement, or our world will be safe."

"Then when shall we go?"

"When it gets dark, I don't want others to see us going to Xishan."

"Erlang is right. If one less person knows, there will be less danger."

Weng and son-in-law discussed it and continued to clean up.

Old man Zhou in the upper room was pacing back and forth, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Wang was also afraid, "Dad, what will happen if the Tatars come over? I have heard that those Tatars are all extremely vicious, killing people like chopping melons and vegetables. God, how can we live like this?" "

"Extremely evil? Are you more evil?"

Wang:…

"Originally, with my second brother here, he can take us with him wherever he goes. But this time it's so troublesome that you have the nerve to follow."

Wang wanted to say, what's the point of being embarrassed about, but she choked on her words.

Just this morning, the wolf-like look in the second child's eyes could give her nightmares at night.

She really didn't dare to let her go with that little brat now.

She was afraid that the brat would throw her into some corner to fend for herself while the old man wasn't paying attention.

She wanted to cry out to God again, but her mistake caused eternal hatred. Mrs. Wang now hated Mrs. Zhu so much that if she hadn't instigated her, how could she have rebelled against her relatives.

The old man scolded her, her brothers complained, her second son hated her, and the couple in the Jin family wanted to kill her and feed her to dogs.

Today, her mother's brother came. When she walked in, her nose was not her nose, and her face was not her face. She was scolded in front of the old man.

One said how old she was, what the hell was she doing if she just had a good life?

The other person said it more bluntly, and she didn't want to hear it twice.

Oh my God, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Alas, she didn't expect it to be like this. If she knew it would be like this, even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't have boarded the boss's wife's pirate ship.

Old Man Zhou: If you want to know now, why bother then. It's useless to talk nonsense now. They can't make a living, and their son has completely separated from them.

...

When the last ray of light disappeared from the western sky, Zhou Erlang personally held his wife wrapped in rice dumplings and sat on the thickly cushioned donkey cart.

Liang Jing then held her eldest grandson and sat next to her daughter. Weng and her son-in-law placed bags of rice and grains and several bundles next to them.

Jin Sheng was still worried, fearing that his daughter would be exposed to the wind, so he took advantage of the darkness and put a raincloth over it.

Zhou Erlang stretched out his hand and touched it. He knew it was a good thing, so he didn't say anything.

Now Shangyang Village is almost turning into a mess. Every household is nervously packing up their things. Even the children can see that the adults in the family look wrong and they don't dare to make a fuss.

The donkey cart, escorted by Weng and his son-in-law, soon left the village. Follow the road at the end of the village and walk towards the west mountain.

As we got further and further away from the village, we could no longer hear people shouting, so Liang Jing dared to speak. "God has helped us today, there is no wind."

"Yes, otherwise I would be really afraid that my daughter would get exposed."

Jin Liangyu remained silent, his mind a mess.

This was the first time she was held by a man, and she was held by a princess. (My father’s hugs when I was a kid don’t count)

Yeah, her face got even hotter.

Jin Liangyu was too embarrassed to think about it anymore. She had just given birth and was feeling weak, so she leaned on the baggage and became confused.

I don't know how long it took, but the donkey cart stopped, and Zhou Erlang carefully picked her up again. She didn't need to open her eyes, but she could feel them walking up the mountain. None of them spoke, and only heavy breathing could be heard in their ears.

Jin Liangyu's heart became even more confused, so he suggested in a low voice: "I'll come down and walk by myself."

"It's cold on the mountain, and your body can't bear the wind now. Ayu, just bear with it, and we'll be there in a while."

After listening to Zhou Erlang's words, Jin Liangyu stopped struggling and leaned in his arms obediently, letting him carry her on the way.

They walked in the dark for about ten minutes before they heard Zhou Lang turning around and saying to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Mom, dad, right in front."

As Zhou Lang said, he freed up one hand to push aside the bushes, revealing the dark hole inside.

"Dad, please hold Ayu down first. I'll go in and light the fire while you go in."

"it is good."

Father Jin agreed, took his daughter, and then took advantage of the opportunity to look around.

Liang Jing held her eldest grandson's quilt in her mouth all the way, and kept thinking silently in her heart: "Good boy, Dabao, follow grandma."

Now that we have reached the boundary, we can finally relax and see the master looking around.

But it was so dark all around that he couldn't see anything, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Zhou Erlang entered the cave and lit the firewood he had just drawn.

The flames rose and instantly illuminated the cave.

"Dad, Mom, come in quickly, and I'll go out to pick up some dry branches."

"Well, this place is really nice. It's a good place to hide. If you hadn't led the way, we really wouldn't have been able to find it."

Father Jin looked at the cave. The entrance was as tall as an adult man and two people wide. The interior was even more spacious, about 1,780 square meters.

Jin's father saw his son-in-law put down a mat in the leeward area, and then he put his daughter on the mat.

Maybe it was because everyone was talking too loudly, but there was still some echo in the cave. The baby moved its little body and woke up.

"Hey, look at how worry-free our good Dabao is. He slept all the way and didn't wake up until we arrived."

When Liang Jing saw her eldest grandson pouting and about to cry, she quickly reached out to help her daughter prepare the milk powder.

"Daughter, please give me the prepared milk powder quickly. Erlang is out just in time."

"Eh."

There was another turmoil. When Zhou Lang came in with a bundle of dry branches, the good boy fell asleep after eating and drinking.

Jin's father was sweeping the floor with a broom. By the light of the fire, Zhou Lang saw such a broom for the first time, and it looked very good.

It's just that he doesn't understand. He's just a sweeper. Why do he do something so delicate?

Also, this doesn’t seem to be their broom.

Alas, no matter what, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are doing it for their own good.

Zhou Erlang put down the branch in his hand and prepared to go out again.

"Erlang, wait, I'll go with you."

"Dad, no need. It's dark outside and you don't know where it is. I'd better do it myself."

"OK then."

When Jin's father saw that his son-in-law wouldn't let him go out, he didn't force him. Instead, he looked around by the light of the fire.

"This cave is really nice. When daybreak, Erlang and I will go out to find some neat stones and build a hot kang here. We are also building a stove so that my eldest daughter can sleep on the hot kang."
