Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 11 Safe

"Don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you. You need a key to the lock. I will find the key first."

With that said, Boss Lu handed the torch to He Jiuniang and prepared to go out to find the key.

"Brother, I can open this lock."

The child had a serious fever. He Jiuniang didn't care about anything else. She took out two wires from the bag and opened the lock easily.

In this era, the world inside the lock is quite simple, and it is not difficult to open the lock.

Although Boss Lu was shocked, he didn't say anything. The third brother and sister had become older and more powerful after they died once, and he was used to it.

After unlocking everyone one by one, Mr. Lu said: "The bandits have been killed by us, let's get out of the cave first!"

The woman holding the child stood up and wanted to leave, but the next moment her legs were so weak that she almost fell down. They had not eaten for several days. At this time, their hands and feet were so weak that it was difficult to stand still, let alone hold the child.

He Jiuniang stretched out her hand to hug the child, took the opportunity to feel the child's pulse, and then comforted: "The child will be fine, don't worry."

After leaving the cave, Boss Lu returned to the woods to find the Lu family. He Jiuniang stayed in the village to look after these people.

"Over there is the bandit's kitchen. Steamed buns and rice are steaming in the pot. There is a vat of water next to the stove. You go and eat to fill your stomach first."

As soon as they heard that there was food, everyone's eyes glowed green. Cui'er licked the corners of her mouth and looked at He Jiuniang uneasily. She wanted to eat, but she was also worried about her son.

He Jiuniang understood: "You go ahead, I will help you hold the child."

The child was still in a coma, so naturally he couldn't eat. Cui'er pulled He Jiuniang to express her gratitude before going to eat.

He Jiuniang carried her child into a thatched house, which should be where the two women lived. It was quite clean and had no peculiar smell.

When no one came in, she took out a fever-reducing needle and injected it into the child. In front of everyone, she could not reveal her medical skills for the time being, so she had to use this method.

Xiao Zhuzi woke up from the pain. He felt like someone was pricking his butt with a needle. He woke up with tears in his eyes, but what he saw was not his mother. Just when he was about to cry, He Jiu Niang gestured to him with her fingers: " Don't cry, little bamboo, we are safe."

"Mother, I want mother..."

Although he didn't cry out, there was still a cry in his voice, and his mouth was pursed, which was very pitiful.

He Jiuniang wiped his tears: "Your mother went out to eat something and will be back soon, be good."

He Jiu Niang, who was stunned by Xiao Zhuzi, took a while to recognize her, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you Gou'er's mother? Third aunt?"

There are many children in the Lu family, and the children in the village often play together. Five-year-old Xiao Zhuzi will also come to the Lu family to find friends. He has seen sickly dogs and this third aunt who is more beautiful than his mother.

I just had the impression that this third aunt didn't talk much and would just smile at the children. I didn't expect that she would hold him and coax him like his mother.

"Yes, little bamboo is so smart!"

In order to prevent the child from being afraid, He Jiuniang smiled specially.

When she smiled like this, her already beautiful facial features became even more friendly and delicate, and Xiao Zhuzi immediately felt at ease.

Because he was still sick and had no energy, he huddled in He Jiuniang's arms and waited for his mother to come back.

Perhaps it was during this period of time when she was raising a dog that she became tainted with maternal instincts. Seeing such a skinny child with a big head and a small body would make him very uncomfortable. He Jiuniang took out hot milk from the space and poured it into a bamboo tube for him to drink, just like how she treated the dog before. Same as son.

Xiao Bamboo, whose lips were dry and flaky due to lack of water, thought it was water, so he drank from the bamboo tube. The delicious taste in his mouth made him stunned, and then he wolfed it down. "tasty?"

He Jiuniang asked with a smile.

"Um!"

Xiao Zhuzi didn't even have time to reply to her, so he only made a sound from his throat.

The child had been hungry for a long time and could not drink too much on an empty stomach, so He Jiuniang took out half a steamed bun and gave it to him.

I was afraid that he would have indigestion, so I specially asked him to drink milk after eating a mouthful of steamed buns.

After Cui'er grabbed some food to fill her stomach, she hid a nest of cornstarch and prepared it for her son to eat when he woke up. When she came to see her son, Xiao Zhuzi had already eaten and drank enough, and was lying unconscious in He Jiuniang's arms. Drowsy.

"mother!"

Seeing her mother, Xiao Zhuzi suddenly became energetic.

"Xiao Zhuzi, are you awake? You are finally awake, my son! Woo hoo hoo..."

Cui'er took her son from He Jiuniang's arms in surprise, touched his forehead, and found that it didn't seem to be too hot anymore. She couldn't hold back her emotions for a while, and started crying while holding the child.

"Jiu Niang, thank you. You and Brother Lu are really our saviors!"

Cui'er couldn't bear to look back on the days she spent in the bandits' den.

The only good thing is that this group of bandits wanted to recruit them, but they did not use violence against them. Otherwise, this group of women and children would not know how they would be treated.

"We also happened to know that you were arrested, so we came here to try our luck. Fortunately, there are not many bandits in this group, otherwise there is nothing we can do."

He Jiuniang didn't want to take credit. These people were already suffering enough, so there was no need to add another burden to them.

After letting Cui'er and her mother rest in the room, He Jiu'er went outside to see how other people were doing.

Fortunately, apart from being a little thinner, there are no major problems. Now that I have eaten and drank enough, I have strength.

"The bandits are all dead. Let's spend the night here tonight. Let's clean up first."

Although it is quite unlucky here, it is much better than sleeping in the woods.

Everyone now regards He Jiuniang as their savior, so they naturally obey her orders.

There were still corpses of bandits in the stockade, so a few brave young men carried them out together, while the women cleaned up all the unlucky things in the house before they dared to sleep at night.

After everyone had finished cleaning up, the Lu family also arrived. The women and children came forward one after another, especially the women who had a good relationship with the Yu family and the Qin family. They were already hugging each other and crying.

"As long as you're alive, just be alive. Our family is a little way behind you. When we caught up, we only saw corpses all over the ground. We thought you all had met with misfortune. Alas!"

Mrs. Sun's eyes were hot when she saw this scene. She had to go through these things at such a young age, and she didn't know if she had done any heinous evil in her previous life.

Hearing what Sun said, everyone thought of the tragedy of that day again, and after finally recovering from their emotions, they broke down and cried again.

After everyone had finished crying, they talked about the whole story: They originally wanted to go to Liujia Town to wait for Old Man Lu and his family, but before they arrived at Liujia Town, they were blocked by the gang of bandits. They cut people with a knife. The head of the family was either killed or injured and rescued by the villagers. Only women and children like them who originally wanted to hide were killed by thieves.
