A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 49 You have to learn to be self-reliant

The straw sandals woven by Yu Chunhua are worn by adults. She and Li Xiuyuan are both children, and the straw sandals she took out of the transformation pool did not fit well.

Li Xiuyuan's feet were smaller than hers, and she couldn't fit them even more.

So they also had to weave some small straw sandals for the children to wear.

Of course, this child also includes her and Li Xiuyuan.

She cut a lot of hay, and when the refugee team stopped to rest, she came to Li Xiuyuan with the hay.

Li Xiuyuan was sitting on a big rock to rest, with his eyes closed, his mouth slightly open, silently reciting a book.

Bai Xia listened attentively to his breathing, and he recited something like "Great Learning" in the Four Books.

But she was not sure, put the cut hay in front of Li Xiuyuan, Li Xiuyuan heard the sound, opened his eyes, was startled by the dark mass in front of him, knelt down and looked at it for a while, then I touched it with my hand and found that it was dry grass that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

"Bai Xia, what are you mowing the grass for?"

Bai Xia also squatted down, pointed to the hay in front of him and said, "Weaving straw sandals, will you?"

Li Xiuyuan was silent, then shook his head.

"No way?"

Bai Xia asked knowingly, then shook her head and sighed: "Brother Yuan, you are five years old this year, you are a big boy."

"It's time to learn to do what you can"

She imitated the tone of adults teaching children she had seen before, and reached out to touch Li Xiuyuan's head.

"Things within one's ability, do you mean weaving straw sandals?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Bai Xia nodded heavily.

"That's right, I will give you two pennies for weaving a pair of straw sandals, and then I can exchange a penny for a steamed bun with me."

Absolutely not to develop the bad habit of eating free food for children, self-reliance, starting from a baby.

Bai Xia thinks her idea is really great.

On the other hand, Li Xiuyuan was about to explode in anger, so he stood up immediately, pointed at Bai Xia and said, "Bai Xia, do you still have a conscience? I'm still a child, I'm only five years old, and you want me to weave straw sandals?" For food? Are you still human?"

"Hehe, that's really unfortunate. I'm still a child. You just want me to raise you. Do you have a conscience?"

Li Xiuyuan choked, and retorted: "You are not a real child."

"Speak like you're a real kid"

"I'm not your mother, why should I care about you?" Bai Xia clapped her hands and stood up.

Li Xiuyuan pursed his lips, his eyes turned red as soon as he said, and soon, tears filled his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "Sanya, you have changed, you didn't treat me like this before."

Obviously she was nice to him before.

It's just that Bai Xia didn't like him at all, and mocked coldly and ruthlessly: "Yo, I don't know who wants to rebel? Could it be that the future emperor can only be raised by women?"

This sentence does not hurt much, but is extremely insulting.

Li Xiuyuan stopped talking, sat down on the ground, picked up a few pieces of hay and gestured, and said angrily: "Make it up, just make it up, just wait, when I become the emperor, I will definitely divorce you"

Whoa, I'm so short-tempered.

When I was only a little older, I was thinking about divorcing my wife.

But she ignored him, and she pulled some grass and made it up in the dark.

Weaving straw sandals looks simple, but it is not easy in reality. It is also in the dark, and you have to hurry from time to time. Whether it is Li Xiuyuan or Bai Xia, the progress is very touching.

Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan didn't really know how to do it, and the original Bai Sanya also made it up, and Bai Xia could also make it up by taking pictures of cats and tigers.

It's just that neither of them is proficient. When the sun rose the next day, neither of them could weave a pair of straw sandals.

Bai Xia's progress was faster, and one was almost finished, while Li Xiuyuan was a little slower because of his small size and hands, and only half of a straw sandal was woven.

Because it was dawn, Bai Xia and the two of them didn't follow too closely. They took a bowl of rice and ate it with jerky. While eating, they also tempted the hungry Li Xiuyuan. She swallowed what was in her mouth, Then he said: "Brother Yuan, my sister will teach you a truth today, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself, relying on mountains will fall, relying on everyone will grow old"

"One's life is still very long"

"If you don't have the ability, you can't even support yourself"

"I can't live on, and survival has become difficult, so don't talk about rebellion or not, go to bed as soon as possible, maybe you can save some energy"

Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Xia put away the finished bowl, put a bed out, lay on her side on the bed, closed her eyes slightly, and had a bed curtain made of old clothes on top of her head, which had no other purpose except to block the sun for a while. .

Li Xiuyuan didn't speak, and weaved the straw sandals silently, his stomach was rumbling, his body subconsciously moved towards the bed, and then listening to Bai Xia's gradual breathing on the bed, he finally leaned over and carefully sat down on the bed.

The movement of his hands didn't stop.

The dirty little hands were scratched by hay, looking very pitiful.

He turned his head and glanced at Bai Xia, tightened his trouser belt, took another sip of water to moisten his chapped lips, looked at Bai Xia who was already asleep and murmured: "You are right, I can rely on you only myself"

It seemed to recall the days after Bai Sanya was taken away.

His eyes became gloomy, and then he turned around and continued to weave straw sandals, isn't it just weaving straw sandals?he can.

Li Xiuyuan secretly cheered himself up, completely unaware that the corners of Bai Xia behind him raised his lips slightly.

Boy, rebellion is what you said.

I didn't force you to.

Bai Xia fell asleep with a smile. With Li Xiuyuan watching, she was not worried at all about being discovered. Of course, if someone really wanted to play tricks on her, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be.

There was a kitchen knife under her body.

The sun in the sky was getting bigger and bigger. At this time, the refugees had already found a shady place to rest, especially after traveling all night, everyone was already exhausted.

Soon, the sound of horseshoes sounded on the official road.

Li Xiuyuan put down a straw sandal that he had finished weaving in his hand, stretched out his hand to push Bai Xia awake: "Bai Xia, an official is here"

Bai Xia opened his eyes in an instant, his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to be asleep at all.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes.

Bai Xia jumped out of the bed even more quickly, and pulled Li Xiuyuan off by the way, quickly put away the bed and the sunshade curtain, and led him to the opposite place from the official road.

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a group of officials rode fast horses, carrying bows and arrows and quiver, galloping across the official road.

The leader was a strange official.

"Li Xiuyuan, don't you want to rebel?" Bai Xia hid in the grass and lowered his voice, looking at the official who rode away with burning eyes.

There are about ten officials in this team, each of them has a bow and arrow, and a big knife across his waist. The most important thing is, when Bai Xia saw the water, each of them had a leather water bottle tied around his waist, carrying a water bottle that was bigger than hers. The bamboo tube is much more convenient.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Seeing Bai Xia staring at the direction the officer was leaving with bright eyes, Li Xiuyuan's heart beat suddenly.

"How about we snatch them?" Bai Xia suggested secretly.

"Are you crazy?"

Li Xiuyuan's eyes widened in shock, those people all had bows and arrows in their hands.

"Hey, as long as I snatch the bows and arrows from their hands, I can make more bows and arrows, which will be very helpful for your rebellion. Are you sure you don't want to do it?" Bai Xia asked.

Isn't Li Xiuyuan moved?
Of course excited.

Anyway, in his heart, these officials are not human, and the whole court is corrupt.

But he knew better that with just the two of them, it was impossible to snatch the bows and arrows from those people, so he shook his head firmly: "No."

Gee.

Bai Xia clicked his tongue regretfully, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Only by knowing how to be patient and doing what you can, can you go further.

It's a pity that the water on their bodies, if they snatch it, they can drink it for a long time, what a pity.
