Chapter 3 Father is back

Author: Wang C Lu

"Hard? I slapped her lightly! The second child is still out there and doesn't know whether he will live or die! But she is plotting against Nanzhi behind her back!" Grandma Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Go and invite the second child's family.

Doctor, show Nanzhi’s face. We can’t make the second brother cold. We will take the rations from the third room and starve them both! Let them learn a lesson.”

Now, the second child will probably never come back.

There is only one child in the second room. Although she is a daughter, she is still a thought after all——

The doctor lived next door to the Lu family. Mother Lu was afraid that Lu Nanzhi would have scars on her face, so she immediately brought the doctor over with some brown rice that Grandma Lu had given her.

The doctor heard that Lu Nanzhi rolled down the ravine in the back mountain. He checked it carefully and then said in shock: "After he rolled down that ravine, his arms and legs were good, but he was just bruised? You

This girl's life is too good! Last time a child in our village rolled down and died on the spot! There was also a hunter who rolled down. Although he didn't die, he still lost one of his legs."

As soon as these words came out, Mother Lu felt terrified.

If there was really something wrong with Nanzhi, she wouldn't want to live anymore!

"As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later! You must be a lucky girl." The doctor gave Lu Nanzhi medicine, but he was still amazed.

After hearing the doctor's words, Grandma Lu's eyes flashed with gloom, and she said: "How lucky can she be? If she is lucky -"

The second child is back.

There was a touch of sourness and despair in Grandma Lu's eyes, and she looked melancholy at the dark sky outside.

However, as soon as Mother Lu sent the doctor out, she ran into the house happily and said with a joyful expression: "Mom! The head of the house is back!"

What?

When everyone heard that Father Lu was back, their eyes instantly lit up, except for Lu Qinghe, who had a faint flash of fear and panic in his eyes.

The second uncle is a cruel man. He used to hunt for meat in the family. He is not even afraid of tigers!

If he knew that he was going to kill Lu Nanzhi, he would definitely make him look good!

Everyone rushed out of the door, and sure enough they saw Father Lu returning after a long journey.

He also carried a bag of grain on his back.

Father Lu opened the sack on his back and found rice inside!

It’s white rice!

It’s not brown rice or sorghum rice, but white rice!

These days, not to mention farmers like them, even landlords and non-members may not be able to eat rice every day!

Uncle Lu was the first to react and slammed the door shut.

He looked at Father Lu in surprise and said, "Second brother, where did you get such a big bag of white rice? Where did you get the money?"

Father Lu said: "I didn't buy it, I was rewarded by others. On the way to look for food, I met a caravan of bandits. I helped. This was the reward they gave me. Not only that, I also learned from the caravan.

I found out my aunt's address. We can't stay in this place. Tomorrow we will pack up our belongings and go to the capital to escape. We will escape to our aunt's house to settle down, and then try to find a way to make a living."

Most of the families who have relatives elsewhere in the village have fled, and there are refugees everywhere.

The area where they live has been in drought for two years, and even the bark of wild vegetables has been chewed clean.

There is no way to survive if you stay any longer.

They had thought about escaping from famine before, but the Lu family was born and raised, and except for an aunt who married to the capital, they had no other relatives at all.

Now that Father Lu has heard about this aunt, and there is a place to seek refuge, he can't wait to escape.

"Listen to me, I will pack my things tomorrow and go to the capital to escape." Grandma Lu, the head of the family, announced immediately.

Father Lu handed the grain to Grandma Lu, and then he saw the scars on Lu Nanzhi's face.

"Why is Nanzhi's face hurt?"

Third Aunt Lu smiled hurriedly and spoke first: "Second brother, Tiedan accidentally pushed Nanzhi and hurt her. Don't pay attention to the little kid playing around."

Mother Lu was angry and wanted to speak, but Grandma Lu glanced at her at this moment and said in a deep voice: "It is inevitable that the family will have some stumbling blocks. Now that we are going to escape, the whole family must unite and work together as one."

Only with the rope can we have a chance to survive. I also have three eggs here, from Lao Er's house. You can cook them and feed them to Lao Er and Nanzhi, father and daughter, to replenish their health."
