The life-saving rain. The two children had a great time digging for crickets in the yard. They checked all the valuables in the house. They found a broken wooden bed and a large wooden box in the back room. There was also a wooden box in the outside room.

There is a bed, a table, and a few stools. In the inner room, Ling Wensheng and his wife live with their fourth child. In the outer room, Ling Tianyang lives with his second child and his third child. The dining area is also here. On rainy days, Ling Wensheng sets up outside

The simple kitchen can no longer be used, and cooking can only be done in the outhouse. Fortunately, the second and third children are still young, otherwise Ling Tianyang really doesn't know how to live with them.

After five days like this, Bajiaowo finally received its first life-saving rain. The rain was heavy and continued from morning to night. The crackling raindrops splashed a layer of gray dust on the dry land. Bajiao

The nest was filled with excitement, and the Ling Tianyang family was also very happy. Wang looked at the five father and son who were making a mess in the outer room and shook his head.

"Yangyang, go to the house to see if there is any rain, and quickly get something to catch it. Dad, it's such a strong wind, go to our kitchen and move everyone inside to avoid getting wet by the rain.

.”

"That's right! Look at my memory, Lao Er Lao San, follow your sister to the house and take a look. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look. Yangyang, you go upstairs and take a look. If there's a dangerous place, just call dad. Do you understand?

"

The Ling family's mud-walled house was divided into two floors by Ling Wensheng. The upper floor was used for storing food, and the lower floor was for people to live in. Therefore, the two adults in their house almost always walked with their heads down.

Climbing up the stairs, the upper floor was very empty. I only saw a pile of small potatoes piled in the corner of the back room. It was raining heavily in the sky, and it was raining lightly in their room. Ling Tianyang asked his second son to quickly get the pots and pans.

Soon, the upper floor was filled with these things, and the sound of dripping rain could not be heard.

It was three days after the rain stopped. The Tengjiang River in front of them really looked like a river this time. The rolling water picked up the dregs on both sides of the river, much like the water of the Yellow River.

At this time, Ling Tianyang took his second son up the mountain to cut firewood again. The green stream a few days ago turned into a gray river. Although it rained enough, the crops were almost dried up. Ling Wensheng and Wang

The hair on his head has turned a lot gray. Seeing that the autumn tax is about to be paid again, I really don’t know what to do. Several families in the village are ready to sell their children. This matter has made Ling Tianyang panic for a few days.

Seeing Ling Wensheng and his wife, Ling Tianyang felt guilty. It seemed that he had dragged them down, so he had to take his second son up the mountain to cut firewood, hoping to make some money and not sell her.

"Second brother, can we go to the pine forest today?"

When they reached the fork in the road, Ling Tianyang looked at the pine forest and asked. They had almost gone all over Laige Mountain, except for short bushes and weeds, there was nothing to sell.

The second child raised his head and looked at his sister. He also knew what her sister was thinking. There was no way to untie the pot at home. Last night he heard his father and mother discussing borrowing some money, but their family was very poor. Which relative was willing to lend them money?

He was also afraid that there was really no other way out and his father and mother would sell his sister.

"good!"

Hearing the answer from the second child, Ling Tianyang didn't react for a moment, and made a silly "Ah" sound. The second child pursed his lips, raised his feet and walked towards the pine forest road.
