Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 22
The little cousin on the side looked at the water in the bowl and kept swallowing the sticky saliva, but he didn't go forward, knowing that his brother was too young to eat the buns, his parents felt distressed, but he could How to do it?Can only endure.

"Father, when do you think this day will end?" Looking at the little water they had left, Li Su's eyes were full of confusion.

"Don't worry, we've reached the boundary of Yunzhou, and we'll always find a place to live." The old man comforted his wife, covering up the smog in his eyes, and at the same time hoping to find a water source as soon as possible.

The farther to the west, the better the situation, and some wild vegetables can be dug up. As long as there is water, wild vegetables and the little food they have left, they can always stick to it.

"En." Li Sushi nodded, she didn't know that it was her wife who was comforting herself, she just wanted him to strengthen her belief, otherwise this journey would be really difficult.

Li Su sighed deeply in his heart, and continued to grind the cornbread in his hand. Fortunately, the front teeth were still there, otherwise eating would be a problem.

Gu Lan, who was eating vegetable cakes, could clearly hear the conversation of the opposite family. Although their voices were deliberately lowered, the distance was not too far after all.

I thought that when the little boy started crying, the child's mother would have the cheek to come over and beg for vegetable cakes. Gu Lan was already mentally prepared. If the child's mother had a better attitude, it would be okay to give them one. After all, the steamed bread It's really hard. I didn't expect that this family didn't come over, which surprised her. Now it seems that this family's education is not bad.

Thinking of the boundary of Yunzhou mentioned by the old couple she heard just now, the memory she received didn't know where Yunzhou was at all, so she couldn't just follow along the way in such a daze, it wasn't her character either.

Glancing at the family on the opposite side, Gu Lan quickly disposed of the wild vegetable cake, took out another piece of wild vegetable cake from the package, asked his son to sit under the tree and signaled Dahei to watch, and walked towards the opposite side.

When Gulan moved, the people on the opposite side also looked over. Several middle-aged men quickly got up and looked at Gulan who had stopped walking warily.

The young man in front of him was very thin. Although his face was dark, he could still be seen as a handsome man. The most important thing was that his eyes were bright, without the lifelessness, numbness and confusion they saw along the way.

"Brother stay here, is there something wrong?" Li Da, the eldest of the family, was the first to speak with alert eyes flashing. Even though the person in front of him seemed vulnerable, Li Da still looked at the person warily.

On the way to escape from famine, he learned not to underestimate everyone, and to be alert at all times.

Gu Lan looked back at the past calmly, and a candid smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Hello, big brother, my surname is Gu, and it's fine. I just overheard your conversation just now. I also have children. See Your child is a bit unbearable to cry, give this pancake to the child."

As he said that, Gulan took out the vegetable cake in his sleeve from his sleeve and handed it over.

The vegetable cakes in their hands exuded a tempting smell. The four brothers looked at the cakes in front of them and forcibly resisted the instinct to swallow their saliva. This dish looked delicious at first glance, but at the same time it made people They are more vigilant.

The brothers never dreamed that someone would come and take the initiative to deliver food.

You must know that after fleeing famine for nearly two months, they were extremely short of food or water along the way, and there was something in their hands that they wanted to hold tightly in their arms, and no one would take it out on their own initiative.

Although they wanted this piece of wild vegetable cake very much, their rationality told them that they couldn’t accept it. It's hard to believe.

Crying on the way to escape from famine is the most common and most habitual sound. No one will be soft-hearted, and it is impossible to be soft-hearted.

Being soft-hearted often doesn't lead to good results. If it's not done well, it will be like a sheep going to the tiger's mouth. They don't believe that this kid can't help but know about this.

It can't be that there is a real problem, thinking that the brothers here looked at each other, without any intention of taking the pancake.

"It's brother Gu. My surname is Li, but I really don't need it. Thank you brother for your kindness." Li Da refused.

Gu Lan was taken aback, he didn't expect to be rejected, but seeing the defense in the eyes of the people opposite, he quickly figured out the reason.

That's right, she wouldn't dare to take what was rushed to her in exchange for it.

Thinking about Gu Lan's decision to tell the truth to save others from being jealous, the men opposite her are much stronger than she looks, and although she is not afraid, she doesn't want to make trouble for herself.

"The big brothers misunderstood, and I feel a little embarrassed to say it. In fact, I heard what you said and wanted to ask the big brothers. I really don't mean any harm."

"Ask something?" Li Da looked suspiciously at the boy in front of him. Although he was dressed in rags, he spoke in a very gentle manner. He looked like a person who could read and write. It was not appropriate for such a person to ask others for advice. Common sense.

Li Da: "Brother Gu is joking, we are all rough villagers with little knowledge, what can I ask brother for advice."

Gulan: "..."

This family is really wary, and they always let themselves go when they speak, but although this family is very wary, they speak tactfully, Gu Lan really doesn't want to give up.

Gu Lan didn't make any rounds anymore, and said bluntly: "Actually, I want to know where I will end up if I walk in the current direction? What places will I pass? The kid has little knowledge and has almost never been out of the house. For the boundary here, it can be regarded as a I don’t know, and I’m very confused about the future, just now I overheard what my uncle and aunt said, so I came here cheeky to ask about it, and this pancake is a thank you gift, don’t worry, big brothers, there will be absolutely no problem.”

In order to show the credibility of his own words, Gu Lan simply grabbed a piece and ate it in his mouth.

I have to say that Gu Lan's last move really made Li Da and the others less wary, and it should be no problem to dare to eat by themselves.

The brothers stared closely at the person opposite, their bodies looked very thin, even if they were careful about their body shape, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything with them.

Thinking of this, Li Da no longer struggled, and reached out to take the vegetable cake in Gu Lan's hand. Since there is something to ask for, it's no big deal to take this wild vegetable cake.

I thought the pancakes were good before, but when I got them in my hand, I realized that they were better than he had imagined. The cake was handed to the parents sitting under the tree.

Li Laohan took the vegetable cake and glanced at Gu Lan, then asked his wife to keep it away, enough for two meals for the dog.

After Li Da took the vegetable cake, he simply invited Gu Lan to sit on the ground, ready to answer his questions.

Gu Lan smiled kindly, then imitated Li Da and sat on the ground.

"Actually, we are all vulgar people, and we don't know much, just listen to me, brother." Li Da opened his mouth without letting Gu Lan wait.

"Just now I heard from Brother Gu that I heard what my parents said. I must have heard that we are going to Yunzhou. I heard that there is more wealth and land than Liangzhou. The most important thing is that I heard that There is a place to accept the victims."

"Come back to business, brother, you should still remember the river you passed not long ago, that is the Qin River, and you have officially entered the territory of Yunzhou after crossing this river.

This river is quite famous, but it’s a pity that it has dried up. The nearest prefecture to the west of our place is called Chicheng, and we will arrive there in about two or three hundred miles, but I don’t know what villages and towns it will pass during the period. up.

After passing through Chicheng, there are Jiaocheng and Yucheng. When you reach Yucheng, you have to cross Qingyunling and continue westward for more than 300 miles to reach Yunzhou City, the royal city. These are all I know. I hope it can help my brother. " After finishing speaking, Li Da grinned.

Although not close to the details, but you know what you should know. Gu Lan was grateful in his heart, and immediately stood up and bowed to Li Day, and said "thank you" solemnly.

"You're welcome, Brother Gu." The sudden salute made Li Da also stand up and wave his hands.

He really thought it was nothing, just a few words, and besides, they gave food in exchange.

Having said that, it is different here in Gulan. Knowing the upcoming itinerary, that is to say, she will not leave with blind eyes again.

Gulan smiled kindly at the family, and then returned to his resting place. During this period, An'an and Dahei sat honestly under the tree.

"Father..." An An snuggled into Gu Lan's arms and smiled softly.

"After eating, why don't you drink some more water?" softened by his son's smile, Gulan said softly.

An An looked at the water bag and squeezed his head, "Don't drink, An An is not thirsty."

After all, he was a child, he said he would not drink, but the desire in his eyes could not be completely covered up, and Gulan could see it clearly.

How can you not be thirsty after eating a piece of pie just now?

Gu Lan gently touched his son's head, "Father knows what you mean, but don't worry about the water, we are a baby and don't need to think about so many things, everything has a father." Picked up the water bag and fed it The son took a few bites.

Children are too sensible, and it makes people worry!

She has been in this world for more than ten days, and this child has finally grown a little bit of flesh, so she doesn't have to worry about her thin neck being unable to support her huge head.

To be honest, when I saw this child for the first time, I couldn't believe that the little guy was already five years old, and he looked like two or three years old at most. He was too thin, which shows how he suffered in the past Heart.

Being a parent is also incompetent, but fortunately it's her now, and she will take care of this baby in the future.

"Sleep" put away the water bag, hugged the child in his arms and covered it with a torn clothes, Gulan patted it lightly and closed his eyes at the same time, while Dahei dutifully lay beside his master.

……

"Father, you don't know whether the question that kid asked is real or fake. Why do I look so strange? It's not easy!"

After chewing the last mouthful of the dry and hard cornbread in his mouth and drinking the water his father gave him, Li Da glanced at the resting boy opposite and couldn't help but ask his father.

... Bao likes to collect it.
