Lianyi deliberately lowered her voice and spoke. She also looked in the direction of the bedroom and motioned for Song Dachuan to come closer. Then she took out a package from her arms and handed it to him.
Song Dachuan did not doubt that he was there, thinking that his daughter had dug something edible in the mountains and kept it for himself. However, when he got the food, it was very heavy, and he realized something was wrong. When he untied the small After seeing the gold bars inside the package, I immediately took a breath of cold air.
Song Dachuan quickly wrapped the gold bar again, then stuffed it back into Lianyi's hand, and said with a trembling voice:
"Hide it quickly!"
Lianyi thought it was funny, But he still stuffed the bag of gold bars back into his arms as he was told.
Song Dachuan drank all the water in the bamboo cup, then suppressed his racing heart and whispered:
"Lianyi, where did you find this?"
"Wankou Mountain."
"Have you entered the depths of Wankou Mountain?"
"Well, there was basically nothing edible outside, so I went inside and felt around. The dandelions you eat tonight are the ones I dug out from the inner wall, and the bag of gold is buried under that clump of dandelions.
Fortunately, there was no one around me at the time. When I dug out something hard, I thought it was a stone. But when I opened it, I saw it was gold. I kept silent and put it under the basket and brought it back.
Dad, with this gold, we will have enough confidence. When we go to Huangzhou, we will be able to settle down completely. "
Lianyi immediately told Song Dachuan the story he had made up a long time ago.
Song Dachuan was also excited at this time. After listening to his daughter's words, he became very concerned about this escape trip. I feel more confident.
"Don't tell your mother about this yet. She can't hide it in her heart. It's not that I don't trust the Yue family. After all, there are more people and more thoughts. There's no guarantee that someone won't take advantage of us. If the news about the gold is leaked, it will bring disaster to us. ”
Song Dachuan still trusts his daughter.
"Dad, you are right, that's why I deliberately avoided mom telling you about this.
As the saying goes, wealth is never revealed. With all this gold, we will live a certain life. I can live a better life, and I will have the confidence to support my younger brother in studying in the future, so on the way to escape, I will not use it if I can. I will also hide the gold in scattered ways to ensure that if something goes wrong, I will not be blamed. "
Lianyi immediately added.
"Well, you are careful, you can handle this matter, I can rest assured!"
Song Dachuan felt much more confident now that he had gold bars as a foundation, and his previous depression was gone.
"Dad, while you have an injury on your face, you will wear this outfit to go to Songjia Village tomorrow. The reasons are all ready. You just said that you had the remaining money at home to buy half a bag of brown rice mixed with sand. It was also robbed by the victims, and now I have no rice to put into the pot, so I just ask my grandparents for help."
Lianyi said in a low voice.
After listening to his daughter's words, Song Dachuan knew that it would be appropriate to go tomorrow, and he also wanted to see what his parents and brothers could do.
Seeing the change in Song Dachuan's face, Lianyi immediately comforted him and said:
"Dad, only a kind father can make a son filial. You have done well enough. No one can tell you a bad word. There are some things that you can't force, so don't be too persistent. You still have your mother, and my little brother and I. We He is the person closest to you."
"Father knows!"
After hearing what his daughter said, Song Dachuan felt a lot in his heart, and then he went to bed early.
At dawn the next day, Song Dachuan went to Songjiacun with a bruised face. Huiniang also took Lianyi and Huzi to her parents’ house. She met someone on the way and asked, Lianyi was the first to answer: "Yesterday, my father took the remaining copper coins at home and went to the county to buy food. As a result, he was robbed by the victims before he reached Wangshan Town. There is no rice for cooking at home. My father went there early in the morning. Songjiacun went to borrow food from my grandma
My mother and I thought about going to my grandpa’s house to get food for our stuttering. My mother and I could go hungry, but the tiger couldn’t bear to be hungry, so we had a healthy body. What if we had three long and two short sides! "
Hui Niang also cooperated and her eyes turned red. Huzi, a clever guy, just nestled in Lianyi's arms without making a sound, looking weak.
"Hey! It’s the same in every house. "
The family of the person who asked the question is in the same situation, but at least there is still some food left over, which can last for a while. They also know that the Song Dachuan family was implicated by their younger brother last winter, and they emptied their family funds to help. Parents and brothers, that's why they couldn't hold on anymore.
After the two sides said goodbye in a hurry, Huiniang's family of three arrived at Lao Zhang's house.
The atmosphere in Lao Zhang's family was also a bit dull. Lao Zhang took the rare opportunity to call all the dozen or so members of his family together, not even the grandchildren, and then talked about the current situation, including the fact that the eldest son and the youngest went to the county yesterday. The information they found made everyone decide whether to leave or stay.
Everyone looked at Zhang Zhong and Zhang Shi, whose cheeks were bruised and swollen after a night, and their faces were really not good-looking, especially Liu, who had a bulging belly, and was even closer to Zhang Shi, as if like this Only then did she feel safe.
Ripple glanced at it and knew that her aunt was about to give birth. It probably only happened in the past few days. She didn't say much. Everyone must have known about it.
“What do you think?”
“Dad, we all listen to you, and we will do whatever you say.”
Zhang Cheng was the first to speak.
He is the third child in the family. Just like his name, he is an honest person. He does whatever his parents say. He will never be picky. It’s just that he married his wife Chen Shrewd, but faced with such a major choice, as a daughter-in-law, it is difficult for her to interrupt.
“The situation is not at its worst yet. If we leave, we can get a head start. There will be less chance of encountering victims on the road. If we wait until a large number of victims appear, we may have to leave even if we don’t want to. Gone."
Zhang Zhongshi told the truth.
“But our family is traveling alone. If we encounter a group with a large number of people, we still have no ability to protect ourselves!”
As the second eldest child in the family, Zhang Jun is also very valued by Lao Zhangtou, and he tells the truth and is not blindly opposed.
"So we have to make preparations. If we can follow the brigade, we will follow the brigade. If we can't keep up, we will try to take some safe trails."
Zhang Shi said immediately.
"There are many men in our family. As long as we don't meet those who have lost their minds, we should be able to cope with it."
Lao Zhangtou glanced at the descendants present and said.
Lao Zhang is really capable of giving birth. After giving birth to Huiniang in her first child, she gave birth to four children later. It really blossomed first and then bore fruit.
After the four sons got married, they were no less generous when it came to having sons. The eldest Zhang Zhong gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the second son Zhang Jun had two sons, the third son Zhang Cheng had a son and a daughter. Shizhang Shi's daughter-in-law is about to give birth.
When Huiniang married into the Song family, it was also because the old Song leader valued the Zhang family's ability to have sons, so it was inevitable to treat Zhang Huiniang more favorably. This made the old Song family dislike this daughter-in-law very much, especially Hui. The mother's first child was a daughter, which gave the old Song family room to play, and began to tease her daughter-in-law because she could not give birth to a son.
Fortunately, Hui Niang got pregnant in the end, and this time it was twins. As a result, the old Song family deliberately made Hui Niang wash clothes in the middle of the winter, causing her to fall and give birth prematurely. A series of things happened next.
