Chapter 76: You Can Only Rely on Yourself
"Why should we give you our things?"
Erbao couldn't help but poked his head out and asked angrily.
Seeing that he was just talking to a child, the leader laughed sarcastically, "This road is owned by us brothers. If you want to pass here, you have to pay some tolls. Otherwise, don't blame us brothers for being merciless!"
While the man was talking, the people behind him took out a few thick sticks and shook them in their hands, which was full of threats.
The person on the other side quickly glanced at Xiang Jiuling and Qin Zhenzhen, and couldn't help showing a hint of evil, "If you don't have money, you can let these two women accompany our brothers. When you get over safely, how about
?”
Qin Zhenzhen was frightened by the squinting eyes of several people and shrank behind Xiang Jiuling. Xiang Jiuling looked at them indifferently, as if the person they had just teased was not her.
Before several people could respond, Wen Xi drew out his knife and charged towards the person at the front.
The man was startled. When he saw the knife coming straight towards him, he hurriedly hid behind him. The people behind him were also startled. Seeing that the blade was so sharp, they couldn't even confront Wen Xi head-on.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Wen Xi did not intend to kill anyone. The places where the blade scraped were just superficial wounds, but it also frightened the robbers so much that they did not expect that they would encounter a hard fight and quickly begged for mercy.
"My hero, we are the ones who cannot see the mountains. I beg you, hero, to spare my life!"
Seeing the reversal of offense and defense, Erbao and Sanni happily made weird faces at the others and shouted happily, "Daddy is so awesome!"
Xiang Jiuling and others didn't care about these people, turned around and left.
Seeing that the number of refugees around her had not decreased at all, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiang Jiuling decided to take her people on the mountain road. She had already studied the surrounding routes before, and based on her memory, she knew that there would be one just two mountains away.
Village, they can rest there before going to the capital.
Naturally, others readily agreed.
Fortunately, it is winter now, and there are fewer wild beasts in the mountains. Almost all snakes, insects, rats, and ants are hibernating. It is not dangerous to walk on the mountain roads. Moreover, many trees in the mountains have lost their leaves, and the bare trunks make the view even better.
wide.
Seeing Dabao walking at the end of the team and walking slowly, Xiang Jiuling thought he was looking for herbal medicine. After all, his favorite thing every day since learning medicine was to look for herbal medicine everywhere. Seeing that it was getting late, she shouted again
, "Dabao, what are you doing? We have to go faster!"
"I understand, mother, I just made a mark to avoid getting lost in the woods, and for reference later."
Xiang Jiuling was stunned, but she didn't expect that this child would actually think of this. She couldn't help but laughed happily, "Oh, Dabao is so smart, I didn't even think of this!"
Xiang Jiuling knew the child's thoughts well. Although she had a photographic memory and would never get lost after walking through the road once, she still smiled and praised the child. After all, good children are all praised.
Sure enough, Dabao was also very helpful and smiled, "I will make a lot of money to spend with my parents in the future!"
"Dabao is so good!"
Xiang Jiuling was very pleased. The children's pain was not in vain, and they knew that they would be filial to her when they made money in the future. Naturally, she didn't care how much it was, as long as the children had this heart.
Dabao's words also aroused the competitiveness of Erbao and Sanni, and they immediately said in unison, "Mom, I will also make money for you and dad in the future!"
Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but laugh happily, and even Wen Xi, who looked serious about words, showed a smile.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Qin Zhenzhen was also very happy, but he didn't react until the next moment and said quickly, "You three, it's a shame that I treat you so well on weekdays. I don't even know how to give Aunt Qin some points when I make money."
Son!"
Sanni laughed and made a face, "Aunt Qin will definitely earn more than us in the future!"
Qin Zhenzhen was amused by this little girl and laughed, and several others also laughed together.
After laughing, the family walked forward slowly, and Xiang Jiuling also took the opportunity to talk to them, "Children, making money in the future is a later matter. When we settle down, you all must study hard. Only by enriching yourself can we
A lifetime of wealth, otherwise no matter how rich you are, you will only feel empty, do you understand?"
Xiang Jiuling's words made several children think deeply. They are not like ordinary children. Not to mention rich and powerful, at least they live a stable life. However, they have been living a wandering life since they were still so young.
We should understand the hardship of survival.
No matter what kind of desperate situation you are in, the only person you can rely on is yourself!
Qin Zhenzhen also agreed very much with Xiang Jiuling's words. After all, she had a deep understanding of the painful memories of so many years.
"Yes, Sister Xiang, you are so right. We can only rely on ourselves. In the future, I will also learn my skills well so that I can know more!"
Xiang Jiuling was very pleased, but she had no idea how much her words today would change Qin Zhenzhen, and also set the stage for her tragic ending!
Seeing that the sky is getting dark, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach our destination at this time, so the family can only find a place to rest.
"Mom, there is a rabbit!"
While walking, I heard Sanni shouting in surprise.
Several people immediately looked towards where Sanni was pointing, and sure enough they saw a rabbit running over.
"Sister Xiang, don't move, let me catch you!"
Qin Zhenzhen suddenly got into his temper and volunteered to catch rabbits. Xiang Jiuling could only nod helplessly, but still said uneasily, "Then be careful not to get hurt!"
"knew!"
Qin Zhenzhen happily took his two children to catch rabbits. The younger Sanni could only follow Xiang Jiuling, but Sanni was a little jealous when she saw the people jumping up and down.
"Mom, I want to go too."
Xiang Jiuling took Sanni's hand and said with a smile, "Good girl, you are still young. How about you play with your brothers when you grow up?"
Before Sanni could say anything, she suddenly heard a scream from afar.
Wen Xi was the first to react and quickly headed in the direction of the sound.
Xiang Jiuling and Sanni came slowly, and as soon as they arrived, they heard Erbao crying and saying, "I... Aunt Qin fell to protect me. Oh, oh, oh, dad, what should I do?"
Xiang Jiuling couldn't help frowning when he heard this. When he walked in, he found that there was a cliff in front of him. There were so many weeds below that he couldn't see clearly what was going on below. He didn't know how high it was, and what was the condition of Qin Zhenzhen who fell.
After handing Sanni to Dabao and asking him to wait above with his younger brothers and sisters, Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi began to look for a way to see if they could go down.
