Chapter 121： There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!

Chapter 121 There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!

The village chief did not dare to let the villagers continue to talk like this, for fear of weakening his temper, so he shouted.

"Stop guessing. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. As long as we don't take the wrong road, we will reach the Jinsha River when we leave the mountain. Then it will be safe to cross the river. No matter how powerful the barbarians are, they can still keep an eye on us and hunt them down. ? We don’t have money, so don’t take yourself too seriously!”

Everyone was shouted at a few words, and not only did they not get angry, but they felt relieved.

The same is true. They are not noble or rich people. There is no reason for the barbarians to bite them. As long as they are careful, there should be no big problems.

So, everyone soon threw this worry into anger.

Of course, it’s also because...the pork is stewed!

Pork stewed with dried vegetables and mushrooms was served in a big bowl each person. They drank the soup and ate the meat. Even though the cold wind had cooled down a bit, everyone was sweating profusely.

From time to time, a few words, noisy in the mountains.

The women specially made a small stove for the little ones, chopped the cooked pork and soaked mushrooms, and only added a small handful of rice grains, making them soft, glutinous and fragrant.

The little ones couldn’t even lift their heads after eating. However, Jiayin disliked the smell of wild boar meat and only ate half of the bowl.

Tao Hongying took the time to knead a small piece of dough, took the broth and other items and went to the small cave. She quickly rolled out the noodles and made sick rice for Mrs. Cui.

Jiayin is wearing a red coat and trousers and a rabbit-skin hat. He is not messy like ordinary farm children. Instead, he is white, fat, clean, and extremely cute.

She ran to the bed and looked at Mrs. Cui with big eyes, saying nothing and not being naughty.

Mrs. Cui's cough became lighter, but she still felt uncomfortable. When she opened her eyes and saw such a fat baby, she couldn't help but laugh.

“Whose child are you from?”

Jiayin pointed to Tao Hongying, who was busy at the door, and responded softly, "She's from my mother's family."

Such a milky voice instantly made Mrs. Cui's heart soften.

She habitually wanted to give a greeting gift, but when she started to do so, she realized that there was nothing around her.

As a result, her face became a little more lonely, she just touched Jiayin's face and whispered.

“Little girl, you are so cute, grow up well and grow into a beautiful girl.”

Jiayin could see the tenderness and loneliness in her eyes, and felt a little distressed, so he stretched out his little hand and gave her a small thing.

Tao Hongying looked up and saw her daughter running inside. She was afraid that she would be naughty, so she hurriedly shouted.

“Fu Niu, come here quickly, don’t disturb Madam’s rest.”

Seeing the good news running out, she told Sister-in-law Qiong.

“After another cup of tea, the noodles will be cooked and can be served to my wife. After eating the noodles, you can take the medicine. Doctor Zhang said that this medicine will damage the spleen and stomach, so it should not be taken on an empty stomach.”

Sister-in-law Qiong quickly nodded and thanked her. Tao Hongying smiled and waved her hand, "I will ask the boy at home to bring you food later. You can take care of my wife first."

As she spoke, she carried the good news and went down.

Everyone is happy after eating a meal of pork. There is food and oil in their bellies, and they are in a good mood. Barbarians, in troubled times, let alone worry.

The men chatted while the women hurriedly took a bite and cleaned up.

After finishing their work, the sky was completely dark, the wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and everyone hurried back to the cave.

Mr. Wen climbed up the small cave and saw Mrs. Cui sitting in a daze, so he asked.

“Junior sister, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Mrs. Cui raised her head and responded with a rare smile.

"No, senior brother, I'm worried. I just ate noodles and drank medicine, and I'm much better now."

Mr. Wen was happy to hear this and was extremely grateful to the Li family.

“Although we were given money, in this situation, food is more expensive than money and gold. We came over and had two meals, one meat porridge and one meat soup noodles. The Li family is really too generous.”

Mrs. Cui also nodded, raised the small piece of oil paper in her hand, and said with a smile, "Just now, the fat girl from the Li family gave me a piece of candy, which is very sweet."

"The youngest baby?" Mr. Wen was surprised and praised, "Family tradition is really important, a little baby is so loyal and generous."

Mrs. Cui thought for a while and said, "Senior brother, let's stay here until spring and go on the road with these people? We have nothing to offer for the time being, but when the time comes, senior brother can say a few words to the village chief and the Li family. "When we get to Jiangnan, we will be well rewarded." Mr. Wen nodded, "I think so too, but this winter, we will have to trouble the Li family even more."

The taciturn Sister-in-law Qiong suddenly interrupted, "I can go hunting and exchange food with the villagers."

"This is also a solution, but it is still not enough." Mr. Wen pondered for a moment, then comforted Mrs. Cui, "Junior sister, don't worry, just rest in peace and recuperate, leave the rest to me."

Mrs. Cui could only nod. Her body really couldn't help much, or it would be better if she didn't cause any trouble.

As soon as Mr. Wen got off the cave, he and his entourage went to the village chief's cave to stay overnight.

He didn’t know that in the cave next door, the Li family was already thinking about finding a job for him.

“Mom, Mr. Wen is sensible and wise, and should be a good gentleman.” Li Laosi spoke first.

Li Laoer also smiled and echoed, "Yes, I also talked to Mr. Wen a few more times. It's rare that he doesn't have a weird temper. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he should have achieved fame."

Jiaren’s eyes lit up when he heard it and had some vague guesses.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her grandson and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much. I think this opportunity is rare at home, so I want Mr. Wen to teach you how to read. Otherwise, the winter is so long and it won't be wasted."

Jiaren suppressed his excitement and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, grandma, I will study hard."

"I hope you don't study hard. A good child is like an old man all day long, and he has to play when he has to. Do you understand?"

“I got it, grandma.”

Jiayin lay in her grandma’s arms, listened to the family talk, yawned, and quickly fell asleep.

The stove fire was dancing, and the orange-red light made the cave feel extraordinarily warm.

Shanfeng outside the cave tried hard to rush in without showing off his power, but unfortunately he broke his head and failed.

The stone wall that covers most of the cave entrance is covered with thick mud. Even the door for the family to move around is covered with two layers of straw curtains and an additional layer of linoleum.

Outside the cave is the cold ice and snow, the hustle and bustle of troubled times, and perhaps countless despair and confusion.

But at this moment, when the family is together, it seems like they are not afraid of anything.

Especially Li Lao Er, Li Lao San and Li Lao Si, the three brothers discussed tomorrow to clean up all the blood-stained snow from the pig slaughter today and push it into the river to avoid being sniffed by wild beasts.

The lessons learned by the wolves before were too profound, and we must not repeat the same mistakes.

Li Laosan still needs to cut down two more trees and build a table and benches for the small cave.

It's freezing and snowy, so Mr. Wen and his four servants may not be able to leave.

After living like this for a few months, everything that needs to be purchased has to be purchased.

After chatting for a while, the family carefully found their way to the bed and got dressed and fell asleep.

It was too cold to get up early, so everyone had breakfast in their own caves to prepare for the sun to warm them up before going out for activities.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Li family put breakfast on the table, they heard someone shouting under the cave.

“Sister-in-law, Hongying!”

Tao Hongying quickly hid her daughter's custard bowl, then lay down at the entrance of the cave to look at it.

“Third Aunt, you’ve had breakfast. Come up and sit down for a while. How about a bite?”

It turned out that Aunt Wu was down there, and her men were beside her. Both of them looked anxious, waving their hands and asking questions.

“Hongying, look quickly, is my dog ​​Shengzi sleeping with Jiaxi’s family?”

Tao Hongying quickly turned around and saw Jiaxi Jiaan sitting at the table eating sweet potatoes. There was no trace of Gou Sheng.

She responded, "Auntie, Gou Sheng'er didn't come and didn't sleep at my house!"

“It’s over!” Aunt Wu San sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

“The dog is lost, the dog is lost!”
