Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Chapter 109 A Day of Anxiety

But no one in the village could sleep in the second half of the night, for they were afraid that those people would not go to the provincial capital at all and would come back to kill them.

When Lan Qiyan and Yu Xiu said they were sleeping, they really fell asleep. Old Lady Yu had a worried look on her face, and the other three children were also analyzing the situation in the room.

In the morning, Lan Qiyan was shocked when he saw the dark circles under their eyes.

"Aren't you asleep?"

Several people shook their heads.

"Silly, you should sleep when you need to. You can prevent things from developing if you don't sleep."

"Child, what if the refugees come back again?"

Yu Xiu didn't care at all, "Then let's fight to the death. If you can beat them, then fight. If you can't beat them, you can still live in a place where you can escape.

If you guys don't sleep at all, how much energy will you have to fight them even if they come back?"

Lan Qiyan immediately applauded, "I'm in second place this time, he's right.

When problems arise, we solve them. If we can't solve them, we will change the way of survival.

You can’t be afraid to sleep because of worry. No matter what time, your health always comes first. "

Yu Xiu was so pleased with his mother's praise that he said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Lan Qiyan's forehead was filled with black lines. He had just praised him, so could anyone please give him some face?

Yu Xiu stamped his feet, "Mom, you were the one who said that your health should always come first. What should I do if I'm hungry now?"

Lan Qiyan took a deep breath. The child was right. The body is the basis of everything. You should eat what you need.

"Mother~"

"Okay, stop being a spoiled brat, cook and eat, we'll go up the mountain later."

"Mom, we can't go up the mountain." Yu Qi said.

"why?"

"Can you make sure they're all gone?"

Lan Qiyan was stunned by the question. "What do you mean? Why don't you leave?"

"Mom, it's the middle of the night, and they said they were going to look for the provincial government. Only the leaders went. Will all the hundreds of people in the team obey?

And~”

"And what?"

"We shouldn't have given them food."

Yu Qi’s words made Lan Qiyan fall into deep thought. Shouldn’t he give him food?

Yuqi winked at Yulin, who nodded, "Mom, we gave them food, and those people thought that we in Yushi Village had food."

"Then what? They don't want to stay here, do they?" Lan Qiyan felt a little scared after saying this.

She understood that compassion was sometimes unnecessary.

If you meet a beggar or a sick person who cannot afford medical treatment on the street, you can give him a meal and pay some medical expenses to save him.

However, large numbers of refugees can only be handed over to the government.

You rescued them, but what you got in return was not gratitude, but jealousy.

The anger in their hearts will be transferred to you. Why can't you abandon your homes and wander around when you have a place to live and food to eat?

In addition, there were people who starved to death in every household, and the resentment in their hearts was greater than that of ghosts.

It was winter and Lan Qiyan's back was covered in sweat.

What should we do now?

All the food is in the cellar, and all the silver is under the pile of shit in the toilet.

But how can they hide the clothes on their bodies and the others?

"Mom, you don't have to worry too much. They won't come during the day." Yulin reminded again.

"Lao Liu, you mean you will come in the evening, right?" Yu Xiu asked.

"Not necessarily. Looking at today's situation, the village chief and Uncle Yutang are the most worried. If nothing unexpected happens, they have already arrived at the provincial capital."

"What should we do now?" Old Mrs. Yu was holding firewood and preparing to cook.

"Grandma, we are at the foot of the mountain. Don't cook. Let's each have some steamed buns."

Lan Qiyan agreed with Yulin's words. If there was smoke coming out of the house and there were people on the mountain, it would mean that we were cooking and you could come and get food.

Lan Qiyan shook his head and reached out to take a cold, hard multi-grain steamed bun.

If it weren't for her strong teeth, I'm afraid all her big teeth would have been knocked out.

Then Old Lady Xie pulled out all the worn-out cotton-padded jackets that Lan Qiyan wore before she got married.

"Yanyan, you are wearing mother's clothes. I have two sets. You guys go change clothes."

Lan Qiyan looked at the patched cotton jacket and the washed-out cotton trousers, which seemed to be shattered at the slightest touch.

"Mom, is it necessary?"

"Yanyan, you will be right if you listen to your mother."

Lan Qiyan put it on reluctantly and instantly looked twenty years older.

She doesn't go out anymore, she's become emo.

The four children who had changed their clothes also walked into the yard. Yu Xiu volunteered, "Mom, I'm going out for a while."

"What are you doing out there?"

"Ask about the current situation!"

"I'll go."

"Mom, I'm going with my second brother, you don't go out." Yulin stopped Lan Qiyan and pulled Yuxiu away.

Lan Qiyan was puzzled.

Yu Qi smiled and said, "Mom, you are a girl, it is not appropriate for you to go out. We dare not gamble on human nature."

Lan Qiyan understood, and she patted Yu Qi on the shoulder, "You guys have considered it very comprehensively, and my idea is indeed too simple."

"Mom, you don't have to worry. Second brother has kung fu skills and sixth brother has brains. The two of them will work well together."

"Indeed, the second one has skills and the sixth one has brains. They won't go up the mountain."

"No, they went to the village chief's house. Mom, don't you think it's too quiet outside today?"

"Yeah, in the past, at this time, Little Stone and his friends would be outside howling."

"Everyone knows what's going on, and now they don't dare to come out. Unless the government sends people to take all the refugees away, we won't be able to live a normal life."

Lan Qiyan sighed, holding onto a stool and leaning against the wall to look outside. There was no one on the roads in the village.

Even the Intelligence Department is empty. It seems that everyone has realized what is happening.

Yuxiu and Yulin were still wandering around the village.

Yu Xiu tiptoed, "Brother, is this still our village? Why is it so quiet? I feel like I have entered an empty village."

Yulin looked around and said, "Don't say so much, just go to the village chief's house."

"It'll be there soon."

Yu Xiu walked forward and Yu Lin looked behind, and the two of them arrived at the village chief's house.

But the door was closed and they dared not shout loudly.

Yu Xiu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to climb the wall, but Yu Lin suddenly grabbed him and ran.

They didn't stop until they turned into the corner of a dilapidated house.

Yu Xiu was trembling all over, "Brother..."

"Hush, there's someone at the village chief's door."

“Is he from our village?”

"No."

"They really haven't finished their journey yet, and they really want to take over our village?"

Yulin shook his head. "It's hard to say now. We can only wait."

Yu Xiu was extremely anxious, "Then let's go home. It's no good hiding here all the time."

Yulin stretched his head to take a look, "No hurry."

Lan Qiyan didn't wait for the two children to come back. She walked back and forth in the yard and finally went to the toilet.

She wanted to buy a machete, and if anyone dared to enter her house, she would chop them one by one, and if there were two, she would chop them both.

When she came out of the toilet holding a shiny machete, the two children were calm, but Old Lady Yu was so scared that she couldn't speak.

Yuqi and Yumian looked at each other. Mother was really capable. She even had a machete ready.

"Yanyan, what are you going to do?"

"Mom, I'm just taking precautions. If they really come, I'll fight to the death."
