Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 5

Qi You was helpless, and really wanted to ask his father what happened, and said some dejected things in a good manner.

Qi You sighed, “Father, now is a critical period. You must maintain your physical strength at all times. What can you do if you don’t eat.”

“Moreover, I decided to leave here to escape, also to make a living for the family. If you don’t eat now, what’s the point of my escape? It’s better to lie down and wait for death.”

“Bah baah baah, what bad words you said, we haven’t set out yet.” Father Qi glared at his son, then knelt on the ground with his hands folded and prayed devoutly, “Tong Yan Wu Ji Tong Yan Wu Ji, yet Hope all gods don’t take it seriously.”

Qi You twitched his mouth. If his father knew that he was drinking crow blood in private and chewing crow meat, he wouldn’t know if he would faint in shock.

Hey, this kind of thing is still rotten in the stomach.

Although Qi’s father blamed his son for not speaking, he was happy in his own heart.

It is one thing for him to despise himself, but if he is really disgusted by his son as a burden, he will not feel good in his heart.

Fortunately, he prayed for (Father Qi’s name) to be nothing in this life, but to have a beloved wife and a dutiful son would not be a waste of life.

Father Qi looked at the rabbit legs that his son handed over, thinking that I would eat a little in the morning to save energy and be faster when I was on the road. Moreover, You’er’s filial piety is not good enough to disappoint him.

Father Qi figured it out, and stopped refusing to eat. He took a bite of rabbit meat. Well, it’s really fragrant. It’s much better than the unknown bird meat that I ate yesterday.

I don’t know what kind of bird meat it is. It is sour and astringent to eat, but in this situation, some meat is excellent to eat. It should be noted that there are still people in Linhuai County who are gnawing grass roots and eating Guanyin soil.

Xiaozhuzi bit the rabbit leg with a bit of reluctance, with a tangled expression. Qi You looked inexplicably, and asked him, “What happened to Xiaozhuzi? Is this rabbit meat not delicious?”

“No, it’s not.” The child shook his head into a rattle. “It’s not that the meat is not delicious, but the meat is so delicious, and the small pillar is not willing to eat it so soon.”

Qi You chewed the meat, then twisted the rabbit’s head off and gave it to him, “There is not much meat, you can just put it in your mouth and lick it.”

“Thank you brother-in-law.” The small pillar held the rabbit’s head like a treasure, thanking him sweetly, and his round eyes were bent into crescents.

Qi You waved his hand and quickly ate the rabbit meat in his hand.

It’s not that he is selfish, and one person accounts for half of the food, but he has to **** him alone for the rest of the journey. If he does not put his stomach on his stomach, he will not be able to exert any effort at that time, the whole family will be finished.

After eating breakfast, Qi You patted his clothes and stood up. He found a wooden stick not far away. Then he walked over and said, “Daddy has inconvenience in his legs and feet. At the end of the stick, Dad holds the other end with one hand, and then frees his hands to go to La Niang. This will not only reduce the risk, but we can also go faster.”

Then he turned his gaze to the Lin family sister and brother, “As for Miao’er and Xiaozhu,”

“Brother You, I can walk fast and promise not to hold you back.”

“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the small pillar is full, and you can run fast.”

The two sisters and brothers couldn’t wait to express their views, for fear that they would become a drag.

Qi You laughed, “I believe Miao’er can walk faster, but the small pillars have short calves, so you can go as fast as you can.”

“Brother-in-law…” The child fainted. Miao’er looked at his depressed younger brother, and then looked at his stable fiancé, caught in the middle, embarrassed, “Brother You, Miao’er can walk with his younger brother, and it will definitely not delay time.”

She was too anxious, and her eyes were red. Although the whole person was dirty, her eyes were very good. When she looked at you anxiously, it seemed to be filled with a thousand words, watching It’s quite painful.

Qi You couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and nodded the girl’s forehead, and said with a chuckle: “What do you think about you, with me as a man, how can you let a delicate woman do hard work?”

As he spoke, he took off Naisugi neatly, then stretched out his long arms, picked up the child, and tied the person to his chest with a cloth strip.

He tried his best to avoid the tall stomach of the child, and after he was tied up, he asked uneasyly, “Does the little stomach hurt?”

The small pillar was already stupid, and it took a long time to react, and replied blankly, “No, it doesn’t hurt, brother-in-law.”

Then he froze in his arms, and Qi You tentatively patted him on the back to relax him, but unfortunately the result was little, and Qi You had to give up.

The two hapless birds were still tied to his waist, with a large strip of back naked, and a doll tied to his chest. How funny it would look like that.

Qi You is not too embarrassed, his ears are red.

Qi’s father and Qi’s mother didn’t think there was anything, but Lin Miao’er was too shy. Although she and Brother You were already a nominal couple, she still looked embarrassed with their naked arms.

While she was still stunned, a big warm hand reached out and held her, “Concentrate, we are on our way.”

Lin Miao’er looked at the hands held by the two, her face warmed, her heart was filled with unspeakable sweetness, and she responded, “Ah.”

Qi You looked into the distance with firm eyes, dragged his family and said, “Go!”

The sun in the sky is so big, the skin is red, painful and itchy, but there is not a little green here, and there is no way to hide from the cold.

At noon, when the power of the sun reached its peak, Qi You licked his chapped lips, enduring the dry pain in his throat, and turned his head back: “Let’s rest first.”

“good.”

Everyone stopped and stood on the spot to rest. The ground was so hot from the sun that they didn’t dare to sit down and rest.

The big tree above withered so much that only its branches were left, unable to block the scorching sun.

After a while, a few people were sweating, the small pillars had lost their eyes, and the whole person was shaking.

Qi You touched his face, hissing, it’s hot.

He acted decisively, took off the child’s shirt and put it on his head, then tied it to the front, saying: “I think it’s bad, there is no shelter here. Stopping will only make the situation worse and worse.”

“Daddy’s legs are inconvenient, I walk with him on my back, mother can’t see the way, I’ll be pulling you, and you’ll be pulling Miao’er.”

“We strive to get to the county as soon as possible. Even if there is no extra food in the county, there should still be a lot of vacant houses. Let’s go there and rest again.”

Qi You was resolute and resolute, and when he spoke, he carried Qi’s father on his back.

He wanted to drag Qi’s father on his back with one hand, and his mother with the other, so he had to say to the child **** in front of him: “Small pillar, put your hand around brother-in-law’s neck.”

The child has been dazzled by the sun, but when he heard Qi You’s words, his body subconsciously did so.

Qi You bends down slightly, lifts his footsteps, and walks out a way on the dry and cracked ground under the scorching sun.

Everywhere is bare, and the earth looks desolate and dry.

I could see a few crows crowing happily on the dead branches before, but now I can’t even see the crows.

There was no wind, no birdsong, everything became silent. They didn’t know how long they walked, and the scene before them was still so desolate and unchanging. The sun above his head is unabated.

Qi You could only hear the sound of wheezing and wheezing, and he seemed to be the only one left in the boundless world.

His mind was swollen, and his eyes gradually couldn’t focus, so when he saw the county seat in front of him, he almost thought he had hallucinations.

He looked back at Qi Mu and Lin Miao’er beside him, and found that they were also at a loss, not knowing what evening it was.

Qi You gritted his teeth, loosened the stick, and slapped himself heavily.

Damn, it hurts.

It turned out to be true, they have really arrived in the county.

He didn’t have time to be happy. With a “bang”, a dull sound of landing came from his side. Qi You turned his head to look. Qi Mu and Lin Miao’er were not pulled by him, and could no longer hold on to falling to the ground.

Qi You’s eyelids jumped, the ground temperature is not just for fun, it will burn if you carelessly.

He bent down to help, but forgot that there was another person on his back, Qi’s father fell along with him, and even fell with Qi You.

Two faint bird songs sounded weakly, Qi You shook his head, and immediately snapped a bird’s neck, enduring nausea, and sucking blood.

His gaze gradually focused, and he took a sigh of relief, pulling the person up from the ground.

At this moment, there was a strange movement behind him. Qi You looked back in surprise and shouted, “Who is there?”

For a moment, a thin man tremblingly emerged from behind the dilapidated wall, looked at Qi You, and said in kindness: “Brother, don’t be surprised, here is this Pu’an county man. He came out looking for food and found someone approaching. He was in desperation. Just hid here.”

Qi You looked at each other up and down. Although the man was very thin, he was not as skinny as he was. He looked much better than them. And his eyes are bright and energetic, so if you want to come to life, you should be able to survive.

While Qi You was looking at each other, the man’s eyes had been staring at them, his eyes focused and obsessed. Qi You thought that the other party was looking at the bird on his waist. Food was rare in the famine years, let alone fishy.

Qi You turned sideways a little nervously, the other party seemed to have discovered something wrong, and reluctantly retracted his gaze, but he would still look over from time to time.

Qi You asked him, “Are there still people in the county?”

“Yes, but not much.” The man replied.

This was in Qi You’s expectation. He supported Qi family father and mother with one hand and Lin Miao’er with the other hand, looking at the sun not set to set at all, and tentatively said to the man: “We are on our way for a day, can we? Go to the county to rest.”

“Yes, yes, of course.” To Qi You’s expectation, the thin man could speak better than he thought.

The other party didn’t seem to reject them from outside the county at all, and even heard Qi You’s request, so he kindly came over to help others.

Qi You thought something was a little weird, but he couldn’t tell. It was wrong if he couldn’t be kindly helped.

He couldn’t figure it out for a while, and now the situation didn’t allow him to think too much, he had to take Father Qi and the others to the shade quickly.

So when the thin man came over, Qi You politely declined a few words and accepted his help.

“This little brother, in Xia Qiyou, a person from Tian Tiao Village, I don’t know the name of my little brother yet.”

The thin man twitched the corners of his mouth, a little unnaturally, “Hey, I’m a bastard, my surname is Zhang. People used to call me a bastard.”

Qi You called out “Brother Zhang” and said: “I don’t know what the situation in this county is now. Let’s not hide from Brother Zhang, our family really can’t stand it anymore. This is the painful experience and the family relocation. But you also know. This world is not good. We have been dripping for three days. If I was lucky yesterday, I caught three birds and ate one when I starved to death, we would not be able to make it here. Brother Zhang kindly took us in, This one is for you.”

What Qi You said was half-truth. He handed the blood sucked to Zhang Hunzi, but Zhang Hunzi confiscated it.

“Brother Qi is talking about this? Since the famine years have been a watchman, you are already so difficult, how can I **** food from your mouth.” The two talked, they came to the storefront, Zhang Hunzi took the lead. I went in and turned around and said: “Brother Qi, don’t have a burden in his heart. The owner of this shop has left long ago. These are all unowned. Brother Qi, come in quickly, and settle down with your uncle and aunt earlier.”

Hearing this, the subtle feeling in Qi You’s heart reappeared, but he quickly suppressed it and helped Lin Miaoer and his mother to walk in quickly.

The shop was uninhabited for a long time, and a thick layer of dust fell. Qi You couldn’t stop coughing as soon as he entered.

“Brother Qi, don’t be surprised, it’s been a long time since I live here.”

Qi You nodded, indicating that he understood.

“By the way, Brother Zhang, I wonder if there is still water in the county?”

Although this question is a bit of an inch, but when his life is threatened, Qi You is still willing to be thick-skinned.

Zhang Hunzi apologized: “Brother Qi, the entire Linhuai County is not immune to drought.” The implication was that there was no excess water in the county.

Qi You was stunned, “I know. Thank you Zhang Brother.”

“It’s okay, I didn’t help much.” Zhang Hunzi waved his hand, but Qi You always felt that his eyes were wrong.

It seemed that the person he was looking at was not him, but somewhere beside him.

Zhang Hunzi: “Brother Qi, please rest first. I will help you to see it. If you can find water, I will bring it to you at night.”

“That would trouble you so much.” Qi You was really flattered. In this way, he owed Zhang Hunzi a lot.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s the grace of life.

Zhang Hunzi: “It’s okay, I’ll go first. Come back at night.”

Qi You sent the person away enthusiastically, watching him disappear to the end of the corner with his own eyes.

When he turned and went back, he passed the position where Zhang Hunzi had stood before. He didn’t know what his mentality was. He imitated the other’s actions and looked at it. There was nothing. Did he think too much.

Qi You laughed and shook his head, thinking that he was thinking too badly of people’s minds. As soon as he raised his foot and glanced at it casually, the smile on his face froze.

From this angle, Lin Miao’er who was in a coma just got a real look.

He retracted his foot and stood back to his previous position. Zhang Hunzi was taller than this one, and Qi You slowly stood on his toes, learning the arc of the opponent’s head tilted before.

At this time, not only the Lin family elders and brothers, but also Qi father and Qi mother all fell into the eyes.

Qi You’s heart sank.

He lowered his eyes to reduce the thoughts in his eyes, walked a few steps over, bit the bird’s throat with his teeth, and bursts of warm blood spurted out. Qi You fed everyone a little, and then found a wooden board. Fan them back and forth as a fan to dissipate heat.

A quarter of an hour later, except for the small pillar who was still groggy, everyone else woke up one after another.

Thinking of something in his heart, Qi You roasted the remaining two birds and ate them with Father Qi and the others.

Father Qi squeezed the bird’s wings in his hand and couldn’t speak. Qi You knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at his expression.

Thinking of his previous discomfort, he asked his father, “Father, do we have the same accent as the people in the county?”

Father Qi didn’t know what to do, so he went back to him, “One side of the water and soil, one side of the people, Tianduan Village is so close to Pu’an County, the accent is naturally the same.”

Qi You swallowed the bird meat in his mouth and asked, “Daddy used to come to Pu’an County often, but has he ever heard of a person named Zhang Hunzi in the county?”

“This…” Father Qi fell into hesitation, “You’er, Dad only occasionally comes to the county to go to the fair. Unless it is a well-known person, Dad has no way of knowing.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Qi You thoughtfully, “By the way, how do we call the parents of other men of the same age?”

“Of course it’s called Uncle and Aunt.” A low voice sounded, Qi You looked over and saw the small pillar leaning against her sister, looking at Qi You expectantly.

Qi You looked back at Father Qi, Father Qi nodded, “Xiao Zhuzi is right.”

Qi You praised: “Small pillar is really amazing, I know so much.”

The child immediately pursed his mouth and smiled. Although his face is still not so good, his eyes have a look.

Qi You tapped his knee with his index finger, and suddenly said, “Do people in the county call each other that way? Will scholars call the parents of other men of the same age as uncles and aunts?”

“How is it possible?” Father Qi smiled, “Uncle and Auntie are called “uncle and aunt” only by those who come from the imperial city. Not to mention Pu’an County, the entire Linhuai County is called [Uncle and Aunt].”

Seeing that Qi’s father could rarely help his son a little bit, he was happy, and when he was talking, he ate the bird meat in his hands without knowing it.

After eating, he still licked his fingers reluctantly.

Father Qi’s movements became stiff, but it was not that he felt ashamed of this behavior. But he wanted to eat or not, why did he eat it again.

Before he could regret it, Qi You stood up solemnly, wandering around the shop, and found several thin wooden boards in the blink of an eye.

“Let’s take a break for a while, and then wait for the sun to get a little bit lighter, and we will go out looking for things while everyone is against the plank.”

Mother Qi was puzzled, “You’er, what are you looking for, is there still food in the county?”

“Naturally there is no food.” Qi You shook his head, Qi Mu couldn’t help being disappointed.

Qi You: “But there should be some medicinal materials. The precious ones will not be left to us, but there should be more than the cheap ones.”

“Let’s go and see, maybe it will be available anytime.”

More importantly, he wants to verify whether the guess in his heart is correct?

Is he too suspicious or unpredictable.

Qi Youyao looked at the steaming door and squinted his eyes, and soon he would know the answer.
