That evening we stopped in the wilderness again.

As we get closer and closer to Xishan County, the number of victims is increasing. The bark of the trees on both sides of the official road has been stripped clean, which is shocking to see.

Fortunately, the place Uncle Ma was looking for was not far from a small river, so there was no shortage of water.

Every family quickly set up a stove to cook.

When Mrs. Chen saw there was water, she boiled a large pot of water to cook dumplings.

He didn't dare to cook the pork-filled dumplings, so he asked Gu Fei to secretly take the wild vegetable-filled dumplings and cook them in two large pots.

Mrs. Chen then sent Gu Fei and several brothers to give a few gifts to each family.

The dumplings sent to Qian's side were naturally for Bao'er alone. Qian made some cereal paste, scraped the bottom of the pot, and divided it into three bowls. Gu Zhong had a big bowl, and she and Xing'er had one each. Small bowl.

Lian'er was carrying water and making fire, but nothing was shared.

Lian'er stood in a daze for a long time, then suddenly walked up to Mrs. Qian and said loudly: "Auntie, why don't you have my dinner?"

Qian didn't expect that this girl would dare to ask her for dinner. She raised her eyebrows, picked up a fire stick, and hit her head and face, "How dare you talk about having dinner? What have you done all day? You deserve to eat." ?”

Gu Fei looked furious and was about to say something when Mrs. Chen held her back and whispered: "I told you to leave her alone. That Mrs. Qian has a bad idea, just so that you can't see it. If you give Lian'er something to eat, she won't have to take care of her anymore."

She sighed, "It's a beautiful thought. She can do it herself and let my family raise it for her!"

Gu Fei thought about it, maybe that was really the case.

It's just this person who can't escape the word "love".

Although Gu Fei felt sorry for Lian'er at first, it was nothing more than a kindness to strangers.

Now that we have been together for a few days and watched Lian'er go through such a tragic incident, now that Lian'er is no longer an irrelevant person, it is no longer easy to pretend not to have seen it.

Gu Fei was eating dumplings and thinking about her mother's words. When she saw Qian still beating Lian'er with a fire stick, she couldn't help it anymore. She gritted her teeth and stood up with the bowl, walked to Qian and said coldly. : "Auntie, stop fighting. Since you don't like this girl Lian'er, why not sell it to me and I'll give you a bucket of cornmeal."

Lian'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Qian with expectation.

Qian sized up Gu Fei and suddenly smiled. This girl Gu Fei is really stupid. Can't you stand watching her beat Lian'er?

Qian stood up and said, "Xiao Fei, nothing is so cheap in the world. If you want to buy Lian'er, it's not impossible. If you give me ten bushels of cornmeal, I will give you Lian'er. Otherwise, five bushels of white flour will do."

Mrs. Chen hurriedly came over at this time and gave a fierce "poof", "Sister-in-law, I think you are crazy!"

She pulled Gu Fei and said, "Let's go and ignore her. She can sell ten measures of cornmeal to whomever she likes. My family won't buy it anyway."

Gu Fei looked back at Lian'er, who shook her head and signaled her not to worry about her.

After walking a few steps, Gu Fei suddenly heard Bao'er's cry, "Mom, she snatched my dumplings!"

Gu Fei turned around and saw Lian'er holding a dumpling in her hand, her mouth bulging and chewing desperately.

Qian Shi screamed, "Damn girl, you've rebelled!" She ran towards Lian'er holding a fire stick.

When Lian'er saw her coming, she quickly walked left and right in the crowd and ran away.

It was already dark by this time, and there was no other light except the stove fires used for cooking in every household. Lian'er ran into the darkness, but Qian didn't dare to chase her, so she had to turn around with a curse.
