Chapter 1284 The more I learn about it, the more frightened I become!
Feng Sujin shook her head and said: "Grandma, we are the ones who disturbed you. I am already very embarrassed. There is nothing wrong with the reception."
The old man's hair is gray and he walks a little staggeringly. He looks old and vicissitudes of life.
Her granddaughter looked to be only about ten years old, but she was very sensible. Although she looked at the group of them curiously at first, she then quickly did this and that without saying a word.
The old man looked at Feng Sujin and the others, shook his head, and asked his granddaughter to take them into the house to rest while she went to fetch water from the well.
The old man's waist was bent, but he still worked hard to shake and fetch water.
Feng Sujin saw it and immediately went to help.
Ye Shiwu, as a subordinate, rushed forward to help.
Feng Sujin pulled him and said, "You go and do other things, and I'll help. When I was a child, I lived in the countryside with my parents and I knew how to dig wells."
Feng Sujin quickly helped the old man draw water from the well.
She felt sad watching the old lady working.
The old man may have thought that Feng Sujin was really nice and was willing to talk to her.
Only then did Feng Sujin realize that the reason why this place seemed peaceful was because there were no people around. There were only old people and children at home.
Some young people were kidnapped by bandits, either to work or to fight.
"Grandma, is there a war? What kind of war is going on here?"
"The terrain of our Youmeng Kingdom is steep, with mountains one after another. The bandits on the mountaintops want to fight and rob things. They fight for everything... A few days ago, the only chicken in Sister Lin's house next door She was also taken away... Her grandson who was only twelve years old was also taken away..."
Listening to the old lady's tired words, Feng Sujin's heart tightened.
Only then did she realize that the peace she saw here was only on the surface.
"Then you can run away and leave here."
The old lady sighed several times, "Almost every family of ours has one or two relatives in the bandits' den. If they escape, their lives will definitely be at risk."
The more Feng Sujin learned about the situation, the more frightened she became. That night, the old lady tried her best to entertain them, but it was just some whole grain rice and some wild vegetables.
Barely enough to fill my stomach.
When Feng Sujin got up at night, she saw a house that was still lit. She approached and heard the conversation inside before entering the house.
"Grandma, you haven't eaten at night. You eat this, eat this."
"Silly Tuan Tuan, grandma is not hungry, not hungry..."
"Grandma, don't leave Tuantuan, don't leave Tuantuan."
"Don't be afraid..."
……
Listening to this conversation, Feng Sujin vaguely saw the old lady and her granddaughter eating whole grains.
Feng Sujin's eyes were red. It turned out that the dinner they thought was not good was actually the best hospitality the old man could give.
Feng Sujin sniffed, and when she returned to the room again, her eyes were red.
When she returned to the house, Jun Mohan sat by the bed and waited for her, "Why are you back so late?"
With that said, Jun Mohan hugged Feng Sujin.
At such a close distance, Jun Mohan realized that Feng Sujin's eyes were red, "What's wrong? Weren't you fine before? Are you crying? What happened?"
Jun Mohan's voice was full of worry, he hugged Feng Sujin distressedly and asked about the situation.
Feng Sujin reached out and hugged Jun Mohan's neck, "Let me lean on you."
She was in a bad mood now and felt very uncomfortable. She needed to rely on Jun Mohan's arms to find some strength.
Jun Mohan patiently patted Feng Sujin's back and gently touched her hair, asking her to calm down first.
