PFC Chapter 264 Brother Buffalo, can you take us with you?
Chapter 264 Brother Buffalo, can you take us with you?
Oh my god! It's on fire
Li Lanzhen saw the fire from the direction of Shuiniu's house illuminating Shuiniu's yard.
The buffalo girl stamped her feet in anger.
"This old bastard is going to kill our whole family. He actually came to light a fire in the middle of the night and left us no chance to live!"
Shuiniu and Han Mingjiang rushed back to the village angrily.
Han Mingjiang said, "Mom, I will go back with Brother Buffalo and burn down the village chief's house as well, so that they can have a taste of what it feels like to have their own house burned down!"
Li Lanzhen stopped them.
"Okay, don't go back. If they find out that we are not at home and wait for us, wouldn't you be walking into a trap if you go back?
I have already thought of a way to deal with him. I will make sure that his family will never be able to hold their heads up in the village!
let's go! "
Looking at the Buffalo family, they seemed to be worried and just walking silently.
Li Lanzhen comforted them, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
The buffalo led the way in front, Metasequoia was still pulling the cart, and Han Mingjiang was pushing the cart from behind.
We walked about two miles along this deep ditch.
Li Lanzhen felt someone following her.
She said nothing and held the two axes in her hands.
If anyone behind them dared to attack them under the cover of night, she would fight back.
Buffalo Lady was walking in front of Li Lanzhen, and Shuiang Ji on her back had been taken over by Han Mingjiang and was carried on his back.
Li Lanzhen heard Buffalo Mother chattering away.
"Our house burned down, and we don't know what will happen to the three poor kids living in the back.
This damn village chief and his family are so irresponsible! "
Li Lanzhen asked after hearing her say that.
"Sister, which three children are you talking about?"
Buffalo Lady slowed down her pace and followed Li Lanzhen.
"Alas, it's a sin. A family in the village is usually very close to Buffalo's father.
On the day of the flood, his wife insisted on going to her parents' home to inform them of the flood. He was worried about his wife, so he sent his three children to our house and went with her. As a result, he never came back.
Later, people from his wife's village sent back their bodies.
At that time, Buffalo's father had also passed away.
We helped bury it in the back mountain.
His parents died early, and when he grew up, he got married and had three children. The eldest and the second were girls, and the youngest son was only three years old.
Our house was also washed away by the flood. Later, two Buffalo brothers built a house in front of a cave in the mountain behind our house.
The three kids lived there, and usually caught fish and shrimps and went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to eat.
A child without a father or a mother is so pitiful! "
Yes, in this world, there are many people suffering. Children without parents are pitiful, and children who have fathers and mothers but do not love them are even more pitiful!
The buffalo stopped in front, and everyone followed suit.
Li Lanzhen thought something had happened.
"Mom, aunt, let's rest here for a while.
"Okay, let's take a break then."
Buffalo Mother agreed and hurried to the cart to see her eldest daughter-in-law and her little grandson.
Baoya had fallen asleep in the carriage, lying crookedly.
Taking advantage of the night, Li Lanzhen took out a quilt from the space and covered her with it.
Li Lianzhen took out some boiled goose eggs from her backpack and gave one to each person.
Buffalo Mother held the warm goose egg in her hand and asked Li Lanzhen in surprise.
"Girl, are the goose eggs still hot?"
"Yes, I have packed it tightly and put it in the backpack. Eat it all. After you finish eating, have some energy and we will continue on our journey."
Shuishan first peeled the egg for his wife, helped her to lean up, and Bao Yan's mother ate the goose egg bit by bit.
Li Lanzhen watched them stretching their necks because they were choking while eating goose eggs, then took out a water bag filled with warm spiritual spring water, made a bowl of brown sugar water, and handed it to Bao Yaniang.
"Drink a bowl of brown sugar water to warm your body."
Bao Yanniang took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, auntie."
"We are all family, what can I say thank you for?"
Li Lanzhen gave the water bag to everyone and everyone took a few sips.
Both children fell asleep and did not eat the goose eggs.
Shuishan saw Han Mingjiang carrying his son on his back and was afraid that he would be tired, so he asked him to put Anji in the car.
Han Mingjiang looked at the already full carriage and said it was no problem and he wouldn't feel tired carrying it.
Li Lanzhen took out a thin mattress from her backpack and handed it to Han Mingjiang.
"Here, second son, hold the child with this and tie it to your chest. This will free your hands."
Shuiniu helped him tie Anji to Han Mingjiang's back with a mattress.
Mother Buffalo looked down at her little grandson and saw that he was sleeping soundly.
Hehe smiled and said, "This child is really well behaved. He didn't cry or shout the whole way."
Baoya's mother said, "Mother, he went to sleep after he had eaten his fill. I have to thank my cousin for that. The clothes and quilts she gave him were all made of fine cotton, soft and warm.
I drank chicken soup and ate chicken, which helped me produce milk quickly. He was full, so why was he crying? "
The whole family is grateful to Li Lanzhen and her husband.
At this time, Li Lanzhen obviously heard footsteps approaching them gently.
She turned around, holding the axe in both hands, and shouted sharply.
"Who? Come out! If you don't come out, I'll throw the axe at you!"
Everyone nervously held the sticks in their hands and looked in the direction Li Lanzhen was looking. "
Three children came out from the dark woods on both sides with a rustling sound.
The leading child saw them and spoke.
"Brother Buffalo, can you take us with you?"
The little girl standing next to them seemed to be afraid that the buffalo would say it would not take them with it.
He quickly took a step forward, clenched his fists, and spoke clearly.
“Brother Buffalo, you don’t know that the village chief’s family burned your house down, and then when they found no one inside, they said they would find everyone in the village to track you down and take you back!
They said their boat was lost, it must have been stolen by the strangers from your family."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Lanzhen and seeing that Li Lanzhen didn't say anything, she continued.
“We saw your house was on fire, so we rushed over to put it out, but they found us.
The village chief’s eldest grandson came up and kicked my sister to the ground and beat her.
Then he took a torch and burned down our house.
Woohoo! They are so bad! "
Behind the first girl who stood up, there was a little boy holding her sister's legs tightly.
The dim moonlight shone on her little face, and there was horror and fear in her eyes!
Li Lanzhen sighed deeply in her heart.
Alas, these three children should be the three orphans that Buffalo’s mother mentioned!
She didn't agree to take them with her and waited for Buffalo's mother's decision.
Buffalo Lady shouted.
"Xiaoju, these are you three children.
You three silly kids, the house is burning, so let it burn, why are you running to put out the fire?
That family is ruthless, what will you do if they seriously hurt you!"
The oldest girl named Xiaoju said.
"We were afraid you were in the house, so we went to put out the fire."
The buffalo mother said, "Look at how anxious you are running. You don't even have shoes on. Are you cold?"
As he said that, he went to rummage through the cart and took out two pairs of shoes for the two girls.
"Come on, put it on. If it gets too big, tie it up with a rope."
The buffalo rushed over, picked up the youngest boy, and held his cold feet.
"Look, why are you running after your sister without wearing shoes? What if you get sick from the cold?"
The buffalo held the child's feet, but felt something wet on his hand. He raised his hand and took a look in the moonlight.
"Your foot is scratched and bleeding."
Turning to look at Shuiniu's mother, he said, "Mom, let's take Xiaoju and the other three with us.
From now on I will work more and eat less! "
Buffalo's mother laughed and cursed.
"You talk as if I'm a wicked woman.
Okay, Xiaoju, just follow us and you will be our children from now on.
As long as our family works hard and follows your aunt to work hard, how can we starve to death?"
After Buffalo Lady finished speaking, she suddenly felt as if she had done something wrong.
He turned around and asked Li Lanzhen nervously.
"Um, sister, I, I should ask you first, can I take these three children with me?"
Li Lanzhen said happily, "Yes, take these three children with you!"
