Chapter 193: Beat the Kidnapper
Mrs. Wu changed Chunliu into the twins' clothes, cleaned the dirt off the scar and bandaged it.
Chunliu has food in her stomach and warm clothes to wear.
Feeling safe back with his family, he soon fell asleep on Wu's back.
No one knows what she has been through during this period.
No one dared to expose Chunliu's scars. In their opinion, being alive was enough.
...
"Sister-in-law, let's take turns carrying the child." Zhao wiped away tears of sympathy and said with emotion.
“I don’t know what this child has been through, he is so thin that he is just skin and bones.
My eldest brother and his wife must be so distressed, and I don’t know where their family is.”
“Alas, who knows what will happen in such a chaotic situation!
If God doesn't give the people a way to survive, they can only take one step at a time.
Chunliu is able to live well, so I think they will be fine too."
There was a hint of sympathy in Wu's eyes, but that was all she could do.
Feeding one more mouth means taking food away from children's mouths.
Although they have no worries about food and drink, being too obvious will definitely arouse suspicion.
Especially with an outsider around, Wu was most afraid of exposing her daughter's secret.
She couldn't help but look at the old man in front of her, and asked him to keep an eye on Chunliu more in the future.
Don't let their family feel disappointed.
...
"If you dare to kidnap my child, I will skin you alive."
Wu Yidao held a sharp knife and kicked and punched the refugees who fell to the ground.
All the resentment along the way was vented on the refugees.
The fierce momentum seemed to be enough to kick someone to death.
Of course the people in the refugee group refused to accept this. One of them rolled his eyes and retorted.
"You lost your child yourself, and you still have the nerve to blame us.
That ugly girl has had a lot of food and drink along the way. Times are tough, and no one’s food is blown by the wind…”
“Yes, you have to compensate for the food.
We were kindhearted enough not to let her starve to death."
The woman who had been cursing vigorously just now said with her hands on her hips in a hoarse voice.
"That ugly girl is not only good at eating, but she is also extremely lazy and just cries all day long.
We have cried out all our luck and you have to compensate for the loss.
It’s not much, just one hundred taels of silver will do.”
"Haha, compensate your mother for her loss.
You wanted to sell your child for a good price, but you didn't expect that you couldn't sell him.
As a last resort, they had to exchange their children for meat.
Look at my fist, I will beat you to death, you beast worse than a pig or a dog."
Uncle Wu San showed his fists roughly, and several men rushed over and beat them up.
When the refugees saw people fighting, they all stood far away and watched the fun.
When we found out, the kidnapper actually sold the child to his relatives.
Everyone couldn't help but applaud. If these kidnappers didn't get beaten, who would?
Kidnappers are always hated creatures.
Refugees who had the same experience were eager to step forward and beat the man who was down.
The beggar, who had just been shouting non-stop, was now breathing more heavily than breathing in after being beaten up.
As soon as the Bird's Nest team members left, the kidnappers who were knocked to the ground were stripped naked.
The final fate is the same as that of the refugees on the roadside.
It fulfilled their dream of eating meat.
...
Wu Chunliu woke up from Wu's back. Greedy for the rare warmth, he tucked his head in, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Wu immediately noticed the difference on her back and put her hands around her buttocks and spoke gently.
"Chunliu, do you want to pee?"
"..."
"Sister-in-law, is Chunliu awake?"
When Zhao heard Wu talking, she stopped and reached out to pick up Wu Chunliu.
"She probably hasn't woken up yet. I asked her if she wanted to urinate but she didn't answer."
Mrs. Wu shook her head slightly. Seeing that she was about to fall behind, she had to grit her teeth and keep moving forward.
No matter how thin a child of eight years old is, he is still heavier than her Shuer.
After carrying it for nearly two hours, my shoulders were aching.
Fortunately, we will stop to rest soon.
"Sister-in-law, let Chunliu sleep with the twins at night!"
Zhao glanced at Chunliu, whose half face was exposed, and curled her lips slightly under the mask.
"You have so many children, I'm afraid there won't be enough space."
"That's great, Third Sister-in-law is really thoughtful.
Hongyi is already at the age to get married, but he doesn't know when he will be able to settle down.
Alas, when will such days end? "
Whenever Mrs. Wu mentioned her eldest son's marriage, her face became filled with worry.
She wanted to find a daughter-in-law whom she knew well, and she would never accept one that was bought in a hurry.
Who knows what kind of person that is.
It's easy to deal with those who are sneaky and cunning.
What if, he is the descendant of a very evil person?
Or a runaway slave, a runaway concubine, or something like that, if you get involved with them, you will be in bad luck for the rest of your life.
The stories her daughter told made Mrs. Wu shudder whenever she thought about them.
"Everything will be fine. If you find the right person, marry him to Hongyi." Zhao comforted him.
Wu shook her head and did not continue with the question.
The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other and wanted to ask Chunliu what she had experienced.
But when she woke up, she didn't want to talk to them.
The two of them could only concentrate on their journey.
...
Dali County is a must-pass place when going from Cangzhou Prefecture to Dongzhou Prefecture.
The mountains here are high and steep, equivalent to the second barrier of Dongzhou Prefecture.
The city gates were closed tightly and all refugees were blocked at the checkpoint and were not allowed to enter.
The Bird's Nest team, having experienced several refugee waves, dared not squeeze in among the refugees again.
They were preparing to settle down five miles away from the checkpoint, where many refugees were also building shacks.
"All the flat land is occupied. We can only go further into the mountains."
Lin Erzhuang came back after turning around and said to everyone.
"All the usable weeds and trees around have been pulled out, and there is no clean snow."
"Okay, listen to Er Zhuang.
We can attack or defend, so going into the mountains is the best way right now." Wu Yidao said, holding Chunliu's hand.
The team members all understand the current situation and they can't do whatever they want.
Of course, your own safety is the most important thing.
It is not a good thing to have too many refugees gathering at the checkpoint.
...
The refugees who went into the mountains to chop wood and look for food left behind a trail of footprints.
The outskirts were in a mess, and there was not a single bit of clean snow to be found in the mud.
There are many refugees who share the same idea as the Bird's Nest team members.
There are shacks in any slightly flat area.
Outside each shack, there is a burning fire pit.
A circle of stones was built around it to prevent sparks from igniting the shack.
The refugees sitting by the fire stared at the people coming in and out, especially those with luggage.
When passing by a shack, Lin Shu could hear the sound of people swallowing saliva and the rumbling of stomach.
The refugees all have a lion's head and wear a variety of hats.
Conical hats, straw hats, bark hats, rags, melon-skin hats, cotton hats, dog-skin hats, wolf-skin hats, etc.
The emergence of the Bird's Nest team is a big fat sheep for the refugees.
Although, their clothes were also so dirty that the color could not be seen, and there were many patches and tears.
But the thick cotton coats and furs could not deceive the refugees with eyes.
The most obvious thing is the bulging bag, but the knives and guns in his hands give people a great deterrent effect.
...
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The men chopped down the surrounding trees with knives and used branches to clear a large area.
Build a shack, chop wood, light a fire and boil water, all in one go.
There is strength in numbers, and this is particularly evident at this time.
After a circle of huts were built, a snow wall one person high was built outside the huts.
There is a door for entry and exit, and a wooden fence is installed. It looks like a yurt from a distance.
