Chapter 5
The rabbit meat we ate tonight has been out of oil and water for several days. The refugees follow too closely, and they are also afraid of being robbed by others.
After finally avoiding the crowd, I specially made two rabbits and a piece of bacon, so that everyone can satisfy their cravings.
There is still a bowl of meat left for tomorrow morning to eat meat porridge, and then some pancakes. The third aunt made leavened noodles, and steamed some steamed buns before leaving tomorrow morning. It is better to eat as much as possible to avoid food accumulation.
It was late at night, Li Yu stood up and said, "I will keep watch tonight."
"Then I will watch the rest of the night."
"That... how about I come to watch the night, we can take a nap in the carriage during the day."
Lin Yue hesitated for a while and began to speak, with a slightly awkward expression.
"Next time, there are wild beasts in the woods. If you don't practice martial arts, you won't hear too light movements."
Boss Li shook his head, he didn't remember her hatred for what happened at noon, he spoke softly, and explained the reason.
"You can't hear the movement in the woods. If there are bears, it will be troublesome. You can help out on the plains. From now on, everyone will come to the night watch in turn. You can't just point at them, or you will be exhausted. Everyone in this team We have to work hard, there is still a long way to go, and we need to unite as one to tide over the difficulties together."
Master Li put down the bowl and opened his mouth.
"Yes, we will listen to you in the future."
Gu Linshi took the initiative to open his mouth, which was considered soft and apologetic.
"You have seen what happened today, remember the lesson, there are even more terrifying things that you haven't seen."
"I don't let you show kindness because you are afraid of this. Hulala will come up and **** it. It is a trivial matter to lose things. It is not uncommon for women's children to be resisted. If you sell your children, you can guarantee that you are selling your own children and not someone else's. child?"
Old man Li hit the nail on the head, and planned to take advantage of this time to talk about it, and let everyone have a vigilance.
"ah?"
Lin Yue raised her head suddenly, her face turned pale, and the word "human trafficker" came to mind.
"There were kidnappers during the Taiping years, let alone now, it's not surprising."
Aunt Gu nodded in approval.
"That's why you are not allowed to show kindness indiscriminately. Two fists are no match for four feet. Today, your grandpa Gu was pushed to the ground and beaten by some men. Look at your face is swollen up to now. This Is that what you want?"
Old man Li beat and beat repeatedly, making Gu Linshi and Lin Yue blushed.
The old man's tone was calm, his attitude was objective and fair, and he didn't favor anyone. He first talked about the consequences of the disaster and the visible encounters and losses, which convinced everyone.
"I said everyone has to work hard, not just washing clothes and cooking. No one will write down your hard work, but doing these things is not enough. You know very well that the only ones who can fight and run are my boss and three children. It's really down. There are no substitutes."
After taking a breath, Gu Lei hurriedly poured a bowl of hot water for him. Without tea, it is plain water.
Mr. Li continued, "You see, we have been blessed by our ancestors when we got here. We are going to Yu'er's grandfather's house in the south. There is still a long way to go. If we don't unite, we will be wiped out if we don't get there."
"In case of danger, it is the boss and these children. Brother Rui and Lei'er's combined martial arts are not as strong as Yuer's. We all have to rely on Yuer and the other three children to protect us. Do we rely on us two old guys? Now it's hard to hold a knife, and you can't run anymore, and your female relatives can't run two miles, if you are not united, you are waiting to die."
"That's right, what the old brother said is so right. Think about what happened at noon. As soon as they left our sight, the refugees immediately came to loot them. What does it mean? People are not stupid, and they know that persimmons need to be picky.
In the future, listen to the command. Yuer has done a very good job today, and there are generals who are decisive in killing. From now on, the boss will listen to Brother Rui and Yuer when the boss is not in front of you. If you don’t understand, ask back, and there must be her reason for not telling you. We trust and understand each other more, and unite as one. "
"Grandpa, it's my fault. I'll do what I can from now on. I'm sorry everyone, I didn't think clearly and pretended to be smart."
Lin Yue stood up and apologized to everyone.
Gu Lin twisted her body, her face flushed, "It's my fault for being biased and selfish, Yu'er, auntie, why don't you accompany me."
"Auntie, you've broken me. It's because I can't hold back my temper. My second uncle died to protect me. I can't let my brother... Don't worry about me. My temper has always been on fire. Regardless."
"Good boy, I must take good care of my child. I really didn't do it on purpose today. So many people came to rob me. I panicked all at once. It's my fault. I shouldn't have listened to your advice. I thought things were simple. "
This will slow down the emotions and come back rationally. In fact, after the quarrel, I regretted it, but I couldn't shame myself to apologize, but thinking about it carefully, the three and a half older children were the most tiring on this journey.
This group of people are old, young, sick, and dead. She is not the only one who lost her husband. Everyone here has lost their loved ones. Everyone feels the same pain in their hearts.
"Now that we've said it, this matter is over. Let me say a word. In the future, you should be smarter when you encounter a lot of people, and don't act alone. When you are in danger, don't wait for us. You take your children and go to the hospital as soon as possible." Run, you run slowly, if you delay for a while, the day lily will be cold."
Boss Li also added a few words.
"Success, we remember."
Teach things little by little. If the board doesn’t fall on them, they don’t know it hurts. If they talk too much, they can’t remember. If they encounter more troubles in the future, they will naturally wake up.
Li Yu found a tree branch to lie on, and she kept watch until midnight.
"Do you want to build something?"
Gu Lei handed her the cloak.
"I'm not cold, you go to sleep quickly."
"Okay, I'll replace you in the middle of the night."
Gu Lei fell asleep without hesitation.
Everyone was tired, wandering around in the carriage for a whole day was about to fall apart, and the female relatives quickly lay down after finishing their work, and Mrs. Wang took Brother Xu to sleep next to her.
After everyone was asleep, Lin Yue tiptoed over to Li Yu.
"Why don't you sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Li Yu's martial arts is both internal and external. Her father hired a famous teacher to teach her, and she worked hard with all her strength.
No movement could be hidden from her ears.
Lin Yue coughed lightly, "I'm here to apologize to you, I'm sorry, and thank you for coming back in time, I... I'm sorry, I was frightened, I didn't mean to make trouble and lose Brother Xu."
She was very guilty of this incident. Brother Xu was different from normal children when he was stimulated. He didn't like to talk.
"I know, it's all over. If you feel sorry, you can help me to endorse the two of them. The book still needs to be read."
"Okay, just leave it to me."
Lin Yue was relieved to be forgiven after hearing this sentence, I really have no bad intentions.
"Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow to steam steamed buns, let that brat finish eating before leaving, he can't keep his stuff, he's too young, there are many people robbing him."
"I remember, actually... you have a cold face and a warm heart. If you had explained to me earlier, it would have been fine. If you speak dryly, people will misunderstand you. Really..."
Lin Yue complained and went back to sleep.
