Chapter 35: footsteps in the rain
Li Zheng still couldn't hold back some of the pranksters in the village. They would be afraid if he took out the genealogy to tell the story, so he had to hold them down.
And his mother-in-law, he is also worried, she is against An Jiuyue all day long, and she doesn't know what she is doing.
"Then... let's do it."
Li was thinking about it for a while, then nodded.
So, a large group of people split into two groups, and in the midst of a group of men cursing, they headed up the mountain.
……
At home, when An Jiuyue returned home, the two little guys had already washed the dishes.
After that, the porridge was already cooked, and they were waiting for their mother to come back and stir-fry the vegetables, and then they could eat.
"Mother, where have you been before? It's getting dark."
Zheng'er saw her mother coming back, and quickly asked a question. From dawn until it was almost dark, their mother had been gone all day, and they were so anxious that they waited to death.
"There is a flood at the foot of the mountain, and my mother has gone to save people."
An Jiuyue didn't plan to hide from the two little guys, so she replied.
"It's flooding?" Rong'er blinked.
After all, the two little ones are still small, so I don't have any idea about the word "fading water", and I don't have much worry in my heart.
"Ok."
An Jiuyue responded and reached out to touch the faces of the two little ones.
"Are you hungry? Mother cooked two dishes for you."
After a sentence, she hurriedly started cooking the vegetables. She had to cook the vegetables well for the two little ones to eat when those people didn't think about coming to her house for refuge.
"I'll add fire to my mother." Rong'er said immediately.
"good."
An Jiuyue responded.
……
After the mother and son had eaten, An Jiuyue drove the two little ones back to her room, and went downstairs with the stove that had been filled with charcoal fire.
On the edge of the big tree, where there was no rain, there was a small grass hut, which was built by her father before. There was also a stove and a large pot in the grass hut.
That was the cauldron that her father used to shed his hair when he returned from hunting. It was really big.
She took out some rice from the space, washed it, put it in a large pot, put enough water, and put all the fire in the stove under the stove to start cooking porridge.
As soon as I started cooking, I heard footsteps in the rain.
"Jiuyue, it's so late, why are you still down there, Zheng'er and Rong'er?" Li Zheng asked embarrassedly when he saw An Jiuyue burning fire in the grass hut.
After all, the little girl had already rescued them before, and so many of them came here together to disturb her, which really shouldn't be the case.
But there is nothing they can do. If they don't come here, they all crowd into the cave. Wouldn't they have to starve to death and freeze to death?
"They're on top. I'll cook some porridge for everyone to drink. I don't have much rice at home, so I only have enough porridge to drink. I hope your uncles and aunties don't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind, you have to take a sip, how can you... Jiuyue, please." Aunt Ju said with a smile when she heard her words.
Although, she is so cold that her whole body is trembling, but there is nothing she can do.
In the early spring, they had soaked in the water again, and their clothes were all wet, so how could it not be cold, but even if it was cold, it would be better than being washed away by the flood.
"Aunt Ju, I just came down with firewood on my back. You guys are divided into several piles. Let's light a fire and roast them. Let's dry the clothes first." An Jiuyue looked at the people who were coming over. Some women and children, quickly proposed.
