Chapter 281
The surprise on Nan Zhi's face suddenly froze, and he looked at him in disbelief.

Aunt Liu... is gone?
Thinking of that possibility, Nan Zhi's face became a little ugly: "Did Aunt Liu go out?"

The room between the two suddenly became cold, Shen Zhiyu looked at his mother in a daze, and then asked obediently: "Uncle Shen, is Brother Doudou there?"

Hearing the little guy's voice, Shen Yuntian's eyes were a little lonely, and he wanted to rub the little guy's head, but seeing how clean he was now, he could only withdraw his hand.

"Doudou is not in Yancheng, and Uncle Shen doesn't know where they have gone."

Shen Yuntian's voice was really hoarse, which made Nanzhi feel a little uncomfortable. After a moment of silence, she asked cautiously: "Yuntian, what happened to you? If possible, can you tell me about it? "

Shen Yuntian hesitated for a while, but still let the two of them enter the house.

This small room was rented by Shen Yuntian for [-] Wen a day. Because he was busy with work, he hadn't had time to tidy up after moving here for a few days.

"Sister-in-law, sit down with Zhiyu for a while, I'll get you a glass of water." Shen Yuntian whispered and went to the kitchen.

Only Nanzhi and Zhiyu were left sitting awkwardly in the yard looking around.

"Aniang, is Brother Doudou lost?" Xiao Zhiyu's voice was low, with her head lowered, feeling very disappointed.

"Zhiyu, my mother doesn't know about this, let's ask uncle later." Nanzhi looked at the surrounding environment with a very complicated expression.

She didn't know what happened to Shen Yuntian and the others, but looking at the situation now, I'm afraid it won't be much better.

Thinking of what happened to Mrs. Liu, who always protected herself and called her girl, Nan Zhi felt very uncomfortable.

"Sister-in-law, Zhiyu, I don't have much tea here, so you can just drink it." Shen Yuntian was a little embarrassed, so he could only bring out two bowls of warm water.

After he went to the dental office to register, he started working as a small worker. He could earn seventy cash a day by helping to move and unload the goods.

He has gone to many places now, and he believes that sooner or later he will be able to find his brother and the others.

"Yuntian, have you guys encountered anything in the past two years?" Nan Zhi spoke with difficulty, and subconsciously tightened his hand holding the water glass.

Shen Yuntian was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth: "When we were running away from the famine, our family had a donkey and didn't buy it anymore. The family only put the food on the donkey cart. It was fine at the beginning, and we walked together. They are all from the countryside, we met Li Zheng's family on the way, and we continued our journey together.

Later, as we traveled farther and farther, many fellow villagers left, and we met refugees from other places.

At the beginning, they were worried about the large number of us and didn't dare to take any action, so we just hurried on our way carefully, thinking that although the relationship was tense, we could still maintain it, but one night the temperature suddenly dropped, and many people froze to death. A few refugees thought about it and sneaked over in the middle of the night to grab things.

Fortunately, we took turns to watch the night. Although everyone was fine, half of the food was taken away, and the bedding was gone. "

Having said that, Shen Yuntian paused.

Nan Zhi pursed her lips, but said nothing.

It was inseparable from the mule cart that I and Miaomiao's family could survive that winter.

The shed for the mule cart was made by my father and his two elder brothers. At the beginning, they made two layers on purpose, leaving a gap in the middle. After the temperature cooled, they stuffed it with dry straw to keep out the cold.

Miaomiao's carriage was also repaired by my father later, otherwise it was just a bamboo carriage, how could it survive a cold winter.

Especially after the bedding is gone.

"Later, my mother caught a cold and died on the road not long after." When Shen Yuntian said this, the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

My family has a large population. At the beginning, my mother said to buy a donkey cart, but my father said no. In the end, the donkey cart was only enough to store food, and even Doudou and the others drove along with the adults.

Later, the bedding was robbed, and the food was reduced by half. At night, they had to move the things on the donkey cart to the bottom of the cart, and the adults huddled together to keep warm.

Before A Niang died, her body was already rickety, and in the end she only said to take good care of her grandson and went.

She worked hard all her life, but in the end she didn't even have a coffin.

"We have been walking for three months, but before reaching Huaizhong, we ran into bandits. They killed many people. My brother and I escaped with our family members, but the bandits took us back to the bandits' den. .

I stayed in the bandit den for two months, and finally the Huaizhong government sent people to suppress the bandits, and I escaped. "

"and after?"

"Later, I went to Huaizhong, but I didn't find any news about my family. The only thing I know is that my father was killed by bandits in order to protect his two sisters-in-law that day."

Tears were already streaming down Shen Yuntian's face, and he only hated himself for his incompetence.

If he could be more useful, A Niang wouldn't be frozen to death, and Dad wouldn't die at the hands of bandits.

"I stayed in Huaizhong for half a year, but I didn't find out any news. Even the relatives we wanted to go to moved to Jiangyun long ago. I thought maybe my brother and sister-in-law also found out about this news. I saved some money from work and went to Jiangyun."

Shen Yuntian fell silent and didn't continue talking.

Nanzhi understood what he meant.

Jiang Yun had no one, so he wandered around again trying to find his family, and finally arrived in Yancheng after two years.

"Where are Uncle Zheng and the others?"

"Uncle Lizheng and the others, I don't know. At first they were traveling together, and then they separated."

Nan Zhi nodded, took a sip from the water glass, and the room between the three became deathly silent again.

Lian Zhiyu also drooped her head and didn't speak.

Nanzhi's eye circles were slightly red, she never thought that Aunt Liu and the others would encounter such things.

She remembered that when she first came here, she saw Aunt Liu for the first time because of Shitou and Zhiyu because of the wild eggs. At that time, Aunt Liu came down from the mountain in a hurry, and dragged herself to rush up the mountain.

Aunt Liu always calls herself a girl, as if she is her own daughter.

Thinking of such a good person freezing to death on the way to escape from famine, Nanzhi couldn't hold back, shed tears after all.

When I first came to this world, the first warmth was given by Aunt Liu.

"I came to Yancheng this time, and I also want to search again, to see if there is any news about my brother, sister-in-law and the others." Shen Yuntian's voice was still hoarse, and he looked very lonely.

"Your throat and face..."

"It was done by the bandits. They asked me to join the group. I didn't agree, so they locked me in the cellar. There were two dogs eating carrion in the cellar. I was bitten by them on the face and throat. It was when I was testing medicine." Something went wrong."

When Shen Yuntian said these things, his tone was more relaxed. For the loss of his family, these things seemed to be nothing.
