Chapter 27 Hu Xiu
The woman's surname was Tan, and her family fled. Later, when there was not enough food, her parents-in-law and husband-in-law threw her and her daughter away.

Tan desperately held her man's hand and told him not to be so heartless and not to abandon them.

But the man in her family said that without two mouths to eat, they could go further and keep their son.

Yes, Tan gave birth to a son and a daughter. Her son was taken away by her family's men, but their mother and daughter were not taken along because they were both women.

"Cough cough..."

Not long after Mrs. Tan fed water to Xiu'er, the little girl started coughing, opened her eyes soon, and the first thing she said when she woke up was: "Mom, I'm so hungry!"

Seeing her daughter woke up and talking, Mrs. Tan was ecstatic and hugged her tightly, but Xiu'er rolled her eyes so tightly that she almost died.

"Auntie, let go, my sister will be strangled by you!"

Ye Xun hurriedly shouted, but Ye Lan directly pulled the person away. Seeing that her daughter almost disappeared because of herself, Mrs. Tan felt distressed and guilty.

"Xiuer, mother didn't do it on purpose, she was just too happy, Xiuer, I'm sorry..."

"Cough, cough, cough, mother, I don't blame you, cough, cough..."

Of course, Hu Xiu wouldn't blame Tan Shi. Tan Shi was the one who treated her best in this world. The whole family didn't want her, only her mother would never leave her.

In fact, at the beginning, her grandparents and her father just wanted to throw her away, because they disliked her, saying that she was a loser, and that she was raised by someone else's family.

Because the younger brother was still young and needed his mother to take care of him, they had no intention of abandoning his mother. It was because his mother was reluctant to part with her. In order to protect her, she was thrown away with her. She knew it all.

"Xiu'er, my poor child..."

Tan didn't dare to hug her any more, but just grabbed Hu Xiu and kept crying, crying for her daughter's narrow escape, and also crying for her confusion about the future.

"Tears are the most useless thing in this world. No matter how loudly you cry, no matter how miserable you cry, you can't change the status quo. It's better to wipe away your tears and save your energy. After all, the next road still has to go. Your My daughter still depends on you to take care of her."

Ye Lan reached into the bag, and taking out a bun to cover it, she handed it to Hu Xiu: "Eat it, you'll have the strength to go on your way."

When Tan's mother and daughter saw the buns, their eyeballs almost fell out. They didn't expect that Ye Lan still had something to eat, and the buns were made of fine flour and wrapped in meat.

The mother and daughter hadn't eaten yet, and they had already swallowed their saliva non-stop when they smelled the aroma. Looking at the white buns, they felt as if they were dreaming.

Ye Lan had no choice but to remind: "You guys better eat it quickly, otherwise I'm not sure if I can keep it for a while."

At this time, if you get some food, you don’t have to eat it quickly and you still watch it. You don’t know that there are refugees all around you.

She had already noticed that there were seven or eight refugees approaching them. Apart from staring at the bun in Hu Xiu's hand, their attention was all on her and Ye Xun's bundle.

This is to steal their burden, Ye Lan is helpless, the burden is only two sets of ragged clothes, it can't let others focus on it because of this.

"Hurry up and eat, I don't have any extra food to share with you!"

After saying that, Ye Lan untied the bag, opened it in front of everyone, saw that there was really nothing inside except two sets of clothes, and the person who was slowly approaching them stopped.

And Tan Shi and Hu Xiu, under Ye Lan's reminder, split the bun into two, ate it into their mouths in big gulps, and then swallowed it into their stomachs.

Seeing that the steamed stuffed buns were gone, the refugees stopped their desire to snatch them, and continued to walk forward supporting each other.

They all felt lingering fears, Tan's mother and daughter looked at Ye Lan guiltily, they were kind enough to save them, but they almost caused a disaster because of them.

"Okay, that's all I can help you with, it's up to you how to go next, Axun, let's go."

She didn't want to help anyone. There were not many people who were not pitiful along the way, and how many people could she save.

If Ye Xun hadn't opened her mouth, she wouldn't have thought of making a move on the mother and daughter, as there was not much left of the dry food she bought.

There is food, and she took the opportunity to grow it along the way, but those are all raw food, and they have to be cooked before they can be eaten.

On this condition, cooking and eating is simply courting death. Those refugees can rush over and tear them alive just by smelling the aroma.

Now she has to find a way to get some firewood into the space, see if it can be cooked in it, and then find a way to take it out to eat.

"Sister, can my mother and I go with you?"

Ye Lan took Ye Xun's hand and took two steps, when he heard Hu Xiu's voice behind him, with pleading in his voice.

"Yes, little girl, let's go on the road together, so we can have someone to take care of us on the way."

What Tan thinks is that they are all poor people on the way to escape from famine. Seeing that Ye Lan distributed all the food left to them just now, she is willing to take care of them on the next road until they reach Mingzhou Mansion.

However, what should they do after arriving at Mingzhou Prefecture?

Ye Lan wanted to say it was unnecessary, but Ye Xun was the first to speak, and he said, "Okay, sister Xiu'er, my name is Ye Xun, this is my elder sister Ye Lan, you can call me Brother Axun from now on." gone."

After finishing speaking, a pair of bright eyes stared at Hu Xiu until he saw the little girl blushing and didn't know it.

Ye Lan raised her hand to her forehead, thinking that Ye Xun, you bastard, just made two troubles for her just to be an older brother.

However, Ye Lan looked at Hu Xiu, then at Ye Xun, and suddenly said, "How did you know she was going to call you brother? What if she is older than you?"

Hu Xiu is thin and thin, she looks about six or seven years old, but that's just a look, in this era, everyone is hungry and thin, and the children are seriously malnourished, but they are getting older, but their size can't keep up because of nutrition Reasons stand still.

She seriously suspected that Hu Xiu was older than Ye Xun.

"No, no, our family, Axiu, is nine years old, and Axun is definitely the elder brother. Come to Xiuer, call me elder brother!"

Hu Xiujian called out sharply: "Brother Axun!"

But the mother and daughter did not see the happy look on A Xun's face, but the originally excited little face had collapsed at this moment.

"Pfft!"

Ye Lan was delighted, as she had imagined, Hu Xiu was older than Ye Xun, and was exactly one year older.

"Sister!"

Not to mention how depressed Ye Xun was, he obviously looked younger than him, and thought he could finally be an older brother, but unexpectedly he was older than him.

"What's the matter?"

Tan Shi didn't know why, so Hu Xiu also looked at Ye Xun innocently.

"It's okay, it's just that someone wants to be an older brother, and now his dream is shattered, and he feels a little uncomfortable."

Hearing what Ye Lan said, Mrs. Tan understood, and immediately said: "That's okay, Xiu'er will call you brother from now on, she is indeed younger than you."
