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

Chapter 36 Multiple Children
The man lowered his head, and the person holding his feet was a boy who was about five years old. His skinny face had wide eyes, looking at him pitifully.

The man felt sore in his heart as he thought about his youngest son at home. He couldn't help but look up at Uncle Tiesheng and said, "Uncle, what can we do about this?"

Uncle Tiesheng remained silent and raised his eyes to look at Jingli. When Jingli saw everyone looking at him, he had no choice but to say: "You guys can take it with you if you can spare two months' worth of food at home!"

The men's sympathy suddenly stagnated. Let alone giving them two months of food rations, it was hard to say whether their own families could survive for a month.

Let's go, let's go, you can't even support your own children, why should you feel sorry for others.

Just as everyone was about to leave, they were stopped by Jing Li again. The eyes of several women showed hope. Uncle Tiesheng thought Jing Li was soft-hearted and was about to speak.

But I heard Jing Li say: "We can't come here in vain. You go and take off all the clothes on their bodies. Later, let the aunts and sisters-in-law make shoes and gloves, so that walking with the cart will be less tiring."

Jing Dafu slapped his forehead. Why didn't he expect this? The girl was careful and knew how to live her life.

The men hurried over and took off all those people's clothes, except for their pants. The boss actually had a few scraps of silver on him, which was an unexpected surprise.

I washed the clothes I took off by the stream, put them on my body and walked back.

Jing Dafu said: "Why don't we chop these unscrupulous things to death?"

Jingli stood on it without even looking at it: "No, just leave them alone!"

After hearing this, Zhao Huili, the eldest son of Zhao Orion, raised his eyes and glanced at Jingli, feeling cold all over his body.

These living people were naked and seriously injured. This was the only source of water in the forest. After dark, the beasts would definitely come out to drink water. One can imagine what the consequences would be.

But before the beast arrived, a child about eight or nine years old stepped forward with a branch and whipped several people violently. No matter how strong a child could be, he was stunned and beat the people until they were bloody and bloody.

Everyone watched for a moment, then silently picked up the bucket, picked up the earthen pot and water bag and started walking outside. The women also got up and followed silently with their children in their arms.

Jing Dafu glanced at Uncle Tiesheng and Jing Li, and saw that they seemed not to notice them. They just walked on without taking them seriously, and he stopped talking.

The people who stayed where they were were also in a state of anxiety. Those who had gone to fetch water had been gone for almost three hours, and there was no movement at all, but it didn't mean anything had happened.

Jing Zheng didn't appear on the surface, but he was extremely anxious in his heart. What should he do if something happened to him?

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Sister Ah Li and the others are back!"

The cheerful voice of the boy watching came, and he saw the shadowy figure coming out of the forest.

Jing Zhenghai shed tears: "Go pick them up quickly!"

The women and men who stayed behind rushed to greet him and checked to see if any of their family members were injured.

After some inspections, I felt relieved, but then I felt something was wrong!

Eh!its not right!Why are there so many people coming back this time?

Uncle Tiesheng told Jing Zhenghai about the situation by the stream, and Jing Zhenghai sighed: "If they want to follow, they can follow. It's just that we don't have much to share with them right now. Let's take it one step at a time!"

The child who was beating someone with a branch followed Jingli without saying a word. His bare feet were already bleeding, but he looked indifferent and showed no reaction.Mrs. Su and Fatty Aunt looked distressed, but also helpless. They didn't know whether they could survive at the moment.

Mrs. Su took out Jing Ye's shoes and gave them to the child: "Put them on first, your feet are like this, and they will be useless if you continue to walk!"

The fat aunt also brought a bamboo tube of water and food to the child. Jingli looked at Su and the fat aunt with disapproval. You have been soft-hearted and helped during this famine. Can you help him?

Mrs. Su and Fat Aunt looked away unnaturally. They really couldn't stand the miserable state of the child.

But the child didn't pick her up, and just followed Jingli coldly. He would follow Jingli wherever she went, never leaving her.

When there was water, each family started to light a fire to warm their nests, and fed the mules and cows with water. After repairing, they set off on the road again.

When those women saw the villagers eating, they just covered their children's eyes and did not come forward to ask for anything. A few old ladies couldn't stand it and gave them some food, but these women did not thank them and continued to follow them with numb expressions. Everyone.

Little Cuiniang curled her lips and cursed her mother-in-law in a low voice: "Damn old woman, she is not willing to give half a bun to her grandson on weekdays, but she is willing to give it to these people, and she won't even be able to say thank you even if she turns around!"

After walking for a day and a half with the water we brought, we finally saw a river, but many people had already gathered on the river beach.

The people in the village were very happy. They could finally have a good rest and give their animals a good drink of water.

Jingli ordered Dalang Erlang to unload the mule cart, let the mules drink water, brush their hair, and let them eat some fodder by the river.

It was early summer, and the grass and trees were growing wildly. There was no water in other places because of the dry weather, but here there was river water and the grass and trees grew very well, which was just enough for the animals to eat some green grass.

The child silently followed Jing Li to unload the truck, his bare feet already swollen.

Jing Li couldn't stand it anymore and threw a bottle of medicine to the child: "Go wash your feet and put on your shoes. Come over and eat."

At least they still had some space. Su and the others didn't know how many things they bought in the car. They just needed to free up the things in the space. Raising an extra child wouldn't be a problem at all.

When the child saw Jingli talking, he obediently took the medicine and shoes and turned around to go to the river. But after taking two steps, he looked back at Jingli. Jingli waved impatiently: "Go, go! The big guys are here." Fix it, I won’t leave you behind.”

The child then went to the river with peace of mind, but there were only three women left with him. They used their weak bodies to look for wild vegetables for the child in the woods by the river.

Jing Zhenghai brought Lao Wangtou over to Jing Li: "Ah Li, come here, I have something to tell you."

Jingli handed the reins of the mule to Erlang: "Uncle Hai and Aunt Wang, please tell me what you have to say!"

Jing Zhenghai banged his pipe and said, "The furthest we in this village have been is the county seat. The only one who knows something about outside affairs is you, Mr. Wang."

"But after all, your father-in-law Wang is old and has been injured on the battlefield. There are some things that you can no longer do."

"Although there are many young people, they are all babies grown from the soil. They are not as capable as you, girl. In the future, it will be up to you, girl, to lead everyone out of this road."

Jing Li hurriedly waved her hands: "But I can't be praised by the patriarch. I'm just a girl. I don't have the knowledge to lead everyone out. What's more, there are so many uncles and elders, who can't do it better than me!"

Old Wangtou spoke from the side: "Nizi! Old man, I know you have some abilities. Maybe you can go out with your mother and aunt."
