"Uncles, I have brought the child, where is the sheep?"
The thin and dark old lady came to a few strong men with a child in her arms and asked quietly.
"Sheep? Isn't that what it is?"
One of the strong men with bare arms took out a child from his backpack and said, "Here, here you go."
"What I want is a sheep, and this is a human being."
The old lady hugged the child in her arms, looking frightened.
"Isn't this just a sheep? A two-legged sheep, just tell me whether you want it or not!"
The strong man looked fierce, and the old lady took two steps back in fright, "I don't want a two-legged sheep, I want a goat!"
"That's not up to you!"
A strong man next to him grabbed the child and pushed the old lady to the side. The old lady fell to the ground with a clang, her head just hit the stone on the ground, and she died...
"mother……"
In the distance, a young woman hurriedly ran over. Seeing her mother-in-law lying unconscious on the ground, and her child being held in the hands of several strong men, she ran over quickly and said, "You robbers,
Give me back my child!"
"Little lady, we didn't steal your child. The old lady wanted to exchange it with us."
A strong man glanced at her frivolously, "Now, this child belongs to us. If you want, you can take away the doll next to it."
"impossible!"
Hehua took a deep breath, angry and anxious. She reached out to reach the child, but was knocked to the ground by a strong man next to her, "Tsk, tsk, this woman is not bad looking. It just so happens that I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull off Lotus's clothes, and several strong men nearby also put the child aside and surrounded him with lewd smiles.
None of them noticed the silent old lady next to them. They moved their fingers. After all, in this disaster year, it is completely normal for a lot of people to die. Even if there are piles of corpses on the roadside, it is probably the same.
No one cares.
Ye Chuqiu opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the setting sun like blood on the horizon. Before he could react, he heard an evil voice in his ears.
She turned around and saw several strong men frivolous with a little girl. The woman was struggling. Anger suddenly rose in her heart. She lifted a stone from the ground and hit the strong man on the head.
"Bang!"
One fell down, and Ye Chuqiu kept up her efforts. When the strong man next to her didn't react, she knocked out another one with a "bang bang bang".
Hehua also reacted, grabbed the stone nearby and threw it on the head of the remaining man. With the concerted efforts of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, all three strong men were knocked down.
"Mother-in-law, what is going on?" Hehua asked Ye Chuqiu, "Why did you bring Qiaoer here?"
"Mother-in-law?"
Ye Chuqiu looked at the young woman and her attire. Her clothes were dusty and patched, and her messy hair was fixed with a wooden hairpin. This... this was clearly a attire worn by people in ancient times.
At this moment, Ye Chuqiu's head suddenly hurt, and strange memories surged up in his mind:
In Linjia Village, there has been a severe drought for three years, and the villagers have fled the famine. Two months ago, Ye Chuqiu, the old lady of the Lin family, also fled with her whole family.
The Lin family was talkative, and everything they had to eat and drink on the road was gone. This morning, she heard these strong men saying that they could trade their children for sheep, so she avoided her son and daughter-in-law, and held her granddaughter in her arms to trade for sheep.
I was eating, but I didn’t expect that this would happen!
Famine, old farm lady...
When he thought of these two points, Ye Chuqiu rolled his eyes and fell back again.
"Mother-in-law!"
Hehua screamed, her mother-in-law fainted again, there were children beside her, and she was afraid that these evil people would wake up, so she was in a panic for a moment.
"Mother...lotus..."
Fortunately, the voice of her husband Lin Dahu came from the distance. Hehua quickly stood up and waved to her husband...
…
"ah!"
Ye Chuqiu shook her head violently and finally woke up again. She did not expect that she suddenly fell into a trance and actually dreamed of these messy scenes.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's voice, Zhao Hehua ran over quickly, "Did you suddenly shout just now? Did something happen to you?"
"No, it's okay."
Ye Chuqiu shook her head. She didn't know why she dreamed of these weird things. She pinched herself. Fortunately, she was not a skinny old lady, and all the excitement in front of her was not a dream. Their family was indeed here.
Host a housewarming party.
"It's fine." Zhao Hehua nodded and planned to get busy again.
When Ye Chuqiu saw that Zhao Hehua was not carrying Qiao'er, his heart jumped suddenly, "By the way, where is Qiao'er? Where did Qiao'er go?"
"Qiao'er is playing over there." Zhao Hehua said, turned around, but didn't see Qiao'er.
"Hey, where did Qiao'er go?" Zhao Hehua was also a little strange, "She was here just now. I just greeted people, where did she go?"
Now Qiaoer can walk, so Zhao Hehua sometimes lets her walk by herself, especially when she is busy, it is inevitable that she will let her go.
"Did our family buy any sheep today?" Ye Chuqiu suddenly asked.
"Yes, Uncle Huang brought us a sheep." Zhao Hehua replied.
Ye Chuqiu's heart beat faster and he quickly asked: "Where is it?"
"Just in the backyard."
Hearing this sound, Ye Chuqiu rushed to the backyard and saw Qiao'er walking step by step into a wooden basin. The wooden basin contained steaming boiling water prepared by the cooks who came to help.
Okay, for killing sheep.
"Qiao'er!"
Ye Chuqiu yelled and threw a stone without thinking, hitting Qiaoer's foot.
Qiaoer staggered and fell to the ground. At this moment, she was less than a foot away from the wooden basin. It was hard to imagine what would happen if Ye Chuqiu came a few steps later.
I'm afraid that what is a happy event may turn into a funeral.
Ye Chuqiu suddenly shivered. She quickly ran over and picked up Qiao'er, "Good boy, don't cry."
"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhao Hehua heard Qiaoer's cry and ran over quickly.
"What did you say happened? Qiao'er almost fell into the tub." Ye Chuqiu said and handed the child to her, "The more people there are, the more you should keep an eye on her. Be careful during this time.
point."
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, Zhao Hehua looked at the steaming wooden basin and was a little scared. She quickly hugged Qiaoer and went to the side to coax her away.
Ye Chuqiu, on the other hand, started to think about it.
Her dream was really weird, and it was just a daydream. She had never been like this before.
