At this time, old man Shu also noticed something on the ground and came over to ask about the situation. The old lady rolled up the quilt and stuffed it into the backpack behind him.
Several people carried other sundries on their backs to make room for buckets and other things.
The same goes for other people's houses. No container that can hold water was left behind, including my own belly.
Before leaving, every household was holding a bowl to drink water. A bowl of ordinary cold water suddenly tasted like a fairy brew on earth.
There was a child who was forced by his own mother to drink more than half a bowl of water, patting his belly and shouting: "Enough, enough, I can't drink any more."
But the mother refused to comply and forced the child to continue drinking. "If you don't drink more before setting off, you will complain that you are thirsty halfway through. Where can I get so much water for you to drink?"
As she spoke, the woman held the bowl in her hands and drank, one big bowl at a time, and burped loudly when she was done.
The consequence of drinking too much water is that there are always people running around on the road looking for a place to solve important life problems. Someone just came back here holding his pants, and someone ran away holding his stomach over there.
Even after drinking a large bowl of water, Yan Yan did not escape the fate of urgent urination. Before that, the three young people in the car had peed on the roadside several times.
Xiaotuanzi felt it was a bit embarrassing to pee on the roadside, and kept holding it in with his legs crossed. Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to pee in his pants pocket. He turned around and grabbed Mrs. Shu's arm, "Grandma, do you want to relieve yourself?"
Mrs. Shu was stunned for a moment. Seeing her flushed face, her wrinkled little face burst into laughter, "Oh, go ahead, Yan Bao, do you want a piece?"
Yan Yan nodded and pointed to the tall hay bushes on the left front, "Shall we go over there?"
Mrs. Shu immediately understood that her granddaughter was shy, reached out and took her out of the donkey cart, and said with a smile: "Okay, grandma will carry you over."
The grandfather and grandson had just walked to the grass to untie their trousers for convenience, when the queue in the distance suddenly started to make a fuss, and a group of tall and thick men blocked the road in the middle, holding knives in their hands.
There seemed to be two meatheads fighting in the front. You punched me and I kicked you. The fight was quite fierce.
Mrs. Shu's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously thought she had encountered a homeless person who was robbing her. She didn't care whether she needed to pee or not, so she pressed Xiaotuanzi's head and pushed him into the grass.
Compared with the first two days, there were obviously many more refugees encountered on the road today, and most of them were homeless people without water, food or money.
This group of people had gone crazy with hunger. They sold their children and daughters, robbed along the way, and even exchanged their children for food. As long as they could get by with food, there was nothing they dared not do.
The village chief realized this not long after setting off in the morning, and asked the men in the village to hold weapons in their hands in advance. As long as any refugee dared to take action, everyone would not be polite and would go straight to the rake.
The refugees passing by were frightened when they saw their ready-to-fight attitude. They came up to take a look and then walked away silently.
So I have been traveling for more than an hour in the morning, and nothing unexpected has happened, but what is the situation now?
Mrs. Shu couldn't make up her mind, fearing that if she went back rashly she would be killed, so she could only lie down in the grass with Yan Yan to observe the situation secretly.
I saw one of the tall men holding a knife walking up to the village chief and saying something to him. The village chief shook his head, pointed to a group of people behind him, and in turn said a few words to the tall man.
Then the tall man gestured to the brothers, and the group of people pushed the cart and retreated to the side of the road. At this time, only the two fat guys were left fighting in the middle of the road.
The village chief seemed a little anxious. He rushed forward with a machete and argued with Pang Dun for a few words, and then the two men rolled and crawled back to the roadside.
The crisis is over and the team continues to move forward.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shu felt relieved and said to the frightened Yan Yan at the side: "There must be someone fighting and blocking the road, not refugees who are robbing. You pee quickly, and we will go back after peeing."
After saying this, no one answered. When he lowered his head, he saw Xiaotuanzi lying on the ground with stiff limbs as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points, his cheeks were red and his eyes were dull.
Mrs. Shu was startled and hurriedly knelt down to check the situation, "Yan Bao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare grandma!"
Yan Yan curled her lips and cried, "Grandma, I, I peed my pants, wuwu..."
"Did you lose your pants?" Mrs. Shu was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick her up and saw that the grass where the little dumpling lay was wet, and the clothes she just changed yesterday were also wet. This...
"Woo, grandma, you can go back by yourself. Yan Yan doesn't want to go back. Yan Yan is out begging for food."
Xiaotuanzi covered her face and cried so hard. If she had known she would have just imitated her brother and others and peed on the roadside. No matter how embarrassing it was, she would not be embarrassed to wet her pants!
How will she see anyone in the future?
Mrs. Shu didn't feel much at first. As a child, it's normal for her to pee her pants, but seeing her crying so miserably with snot and tears was both distressing and funny at the same time.
"You can't beg for food. If you beg for food this year, you will starve to death."
Mrs. Shu put the little dumpling into her arms and very thoughtfully covered her wet buttocks with her sleeves. She smiled and said, "If you hug someone like this, they won't know that you peed your pants."
Yan Yan was heartbroken, but her mind was still very clear, "But Yan Yan's pants are wet, and my brother will find out when she gets in the car."
"Then we won't take the car. Grandma will carry you on the way. It's hot now, so you should be done soon."
Mrs. Shu rubbed her head and coaxed in a gentle voice: "Yan Bao, be obedient. Grandma promises you that no one will know that you peed your pants."
"Okay then." Yan Yan wiped her tears with her fat paws and rubbed her eyes hard to stop crying.
"So good." Mrs. Shu smiled and kissed her tear-stained cheek, then walked back with the little dumpling in her arms.
Halfway to the front of the line, a woman's howl suddenly sounded. When I looked up, I saw that one of the fat guys who had just been fighting was convulsed and rushed into the line with a roar.
And by coincidence, he knelt down in front of Old Man Shu and Shu Mingli.
"It's the eldest aunt, that woman is the eldest aunt!"
Yan Yan had sharp eyes and recognized the crying woman at a glance as her eldest aunt Zhao, while the other fat man watching from the side was her eldest uncle Zhang Youcai.
Mrs. Shu's face sank, and she suddenly became furious. These two idiots had done such immoral things. They didn't stay away from the Shu family when they saw them, but they dared to move forward. They thought their life was too comfortable, right?
There was wind at the old lady's feet, and she rushed over with the little dumpling in her arms.
On the other side, Old Man Shu shoveled the shovel in front of Mrs. Zhao and warned her with a dark face: "Don't come over. If you dare to take a step forward, I will shovel your head off!"
Mrs. Zhao did not dare to go any further, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Zhang Youcai, a bastard, sold Xiaolu and Xiaochao, and he wants to sell me too.
Uncle, please save me for the sake of Yan Yan, I will definitely repay your kindness like a cow from now on!"
Old Man Shu was so angry that the veins on his forehead were pulsing, "How dare you mention Yan Yan? You were not the one who abused Yan Yan and wanted to sell Yan Yan?"
