The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 13 Training the Brothers

Mrs. Su secretly wiped away her tears: "But if you are a girl, running in the mountains in the freezing weather will harm your body and affect your children in the future."

Jingli held the bowl with indifference. Who cares about the future in this world!

Jing Ye wiped his hands and came in: "Auntie, Sister, Brother Lin from Fatty Aunt's house is here!"

Su stood up and said, "Let Erlang come in quickly. It's snowing so heavily. I think the Lin family will come here because something has happened."

Sure enough, when Lin Erlang saw Su, he knelt down and cried: "Auntie, please save my mother-in-law!"

Su Shi quickly pulled him up: "What are you doing kneeling down, kid? Tell your aunt what happened to your mother-in-law?"

Lin Erlang wiped away his tears and told Su about his family affairs, and Jing Li also felt a sigh of relief.

The Lin family were immigrants who had fled famine. As soon as they settled down in Jingjia Village, Lin's father fell down from exhaustion and could not get up again.

Lin's father also had a younger brother who fled here together, but there were many disagreements between his sister-in-law and his fat aunt. Since Lin's father passed away, the two families only had a face-saving relationship.

The fat aunt just relied on helping others and collecting firewood and selling charcoal to support her sons. She could have survived even if she was strong.

This year's autumn harvest was reduced and the winter was too cold. She was worried about her family's livelihood and worked hard to collect firewood and burn charcoal. She fell ill from exhaustion.

When he was sick, he was reluctant to take medicine, and he even refused to eat. He squeezed rations from the gaps in his teeth to feed his sons. At this time, his body was completely empty and he fell completely ill.

Nowadays, everyone who has a fever is talking nonsense. When the sons see that something is wrong, they don’t know where the fat aunt’s money is.

In desperation, Lin Dalang asked Lin Erlang to come over for help. When Su heard this, she hurriedly put on her cotton clothes and went to Lin's house with Jingli.

The fat aunt was already delirious from the fever, so Lin Dalang and Lin Sanlang took turns putting ice water handkerchiefs on her forehead.

When the two brothers saw Su Shi and Jing Li coming over, Lin Sanlang couldn't help crying: "Auntie, will my mother be like my father and never wake up again?"

Lin Dalang was half a year younger than Jing Li, a boy in his early fifteen, Lin Erlang was 13 years old, and the youngest Lin Sanlang was as old as Jing Ye. Now that the family had no backbone, he suddenly became panicked and frightened.

Mrs. Su touched Lin Sanlang's head; "Don't be afraid! Your mother-in-law will be fine."

Jing Li probed the fat aunt's forehead and said to Lin Dalang: "Da Lang, go to my house and ask Aye to bring you some Artemisia annua."

Lin Dalang hurried to Jing's house, and Mrs. Su said worriedly: "Your fat aunt is so ill, will Artemisia annua work?"

"No matter what, let her drink it first. It's snowing heavily, and the doctor from Chenjiacun over there won't be here for a while. Let's try to bring down the fever first."

Jingli sighed. There were still some antibiotics and antipyretics in the space, but there were no renewable resources. The more they were used, the less they would be. If the fat aunt hadn't been so kind to them, mother and son, she would really be reluctant to part with them!

Lin Dalang hurriedly fetched Artemisia annua, and Jingli cooked the medicine on the Lin family's stove, and put a piece of antipyretic medicine in while no one was paying attention.Several people helped the fat aunt sit up and fed her, then wiped her body and waited for the fever to subside.

Sure enough, for the ancients who had never taken any patent medicine, the effect was surprisingly good. Within half an hour, the fat aunt was no longer as feverish as before, and she gradually regained consciousness.

"Aliniang, it's all thanks to you mother and daughter, otherwise I'm afraid I would have left these boys behind and gone to look for their father!"

The fat aunt pulled Su with red eyes, grateful, and looked very weak.

Su held her hand: "Her aunt, what are you talking about? Our two families are closer than blood. Without your help in many things in my family, how could I have taken care of them so easily?" Siblings, please make it through!"

The fat aunt smiled and said: "No, we are just sisters destined by fate. There is no one to help us. How can we support these few if we don't help ourselves?"

Jing Li interjected from the side and said: "Aunt, I am not the person of a junior to say this, but the world is not good these days. I would like to make a suggestion. Aunt, please listen to it and see if it is feasible?"

The fat aunt replied with a smile: "Look at you kid, how can I not trust you? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Jingli said sternly: "This year's autumn harvest has reduced production. Not to mention other places, even our village has starved to death for two old people. It is said that in Chenjia Village, six or seven people died of starvation and freezing."

"More and more people are fleeing famine from Qingzhou Prefecture. The soldiers at the city gate have to clear out some refugees who cannot enter the city and starve to death at the city gate. It is said that King Hejian intends to attack King Chen Yang. Dou The general went south again to fight."

"Although our place is under the rule of King Xiaoyao, it is relatively peaceful now, but the world is in chaos, and King Xiaoyao is muddle along. I heard people say that there will be war soon. By then, our two families will be small and weak. Mother Do you have any arrangements with your aunt?"

Mrs. Su and Fat Aunt looked at each other. They were both country women. If they had a verbal dispute, they could curse a few words, but for such a big matter, they had no idea at all.

Jing Li looked at the expressions of the two of them and spoke again: "Sanlang is about the same age as Aye. He will be 11 years old after the new year. Erlang is thirteen. Dalang is similar to me. Although I am a girl, I have to explore a lot in the mountains in this winter." , I think I am no better than a man."

Mrs. Su and the fat aunt couldn't help but nod, and Jing Li continued: "I decided to take my brothers to the mountains for more experience. If troubled times come, at least I have to have the ability to survive. I don't know if my mother and aunt are willing to do so." ?”

Mrs. Su glanced at Jing Ye's frail figure, with a somewhat hesitant look on her face, but the fat aunt agreed: "It's a good thing that Ah Li is willing to bring a few brothers. The world is getting more and more difficult. Without them, the family of a girl is worse than just a few brothers." You have the guts, Ah Li, just treat him as your own younger brother and discipline him."

Lin Dalang said with some excitement: "Sister Ali is willing to take us on a road to survival. Our brothers are naturally grateful. My son must listen to Sister Ali's arrangements."

In this winter, the lives of the Jing family mother and son are getting better and better day by day. Others don't know it, but as the Lin family mother and son who know the inside story, they naturally know that Su Shi's face is rosy now, she is no longer out of breath when walking, and Jing Ye is also growing taller. Taller and stronger.

Even the fat aunt, mother and son also had some meat and fish dishes, so they naturally knew that this girl Jingli had developed some skills on her own.

Su Shi finally calmed down and said, "It's just that the snow is heavy in winter, so you need to take more care of your brothers when you go out with them."

The elders of the two families agreed, so Jingli naturally had to train this little shrimp like him quickly, otherwise it would be strange if the two families didn't let people eat them on the road one day when war breaks out.

So, while no one was out and about in the winter, Jingli took several boys to Qinglong Mountain every day to learn various survival skills in the wild and how to ambush prey and hide themselves.
