Chapter 66 The Great Famine of 1942

Because of fear of the danger caused by fire and smoke, the grass and flowers dare not burn the kang during the day, and they dare not dare to do it no matter how cold the weather is.

In order to avoid the two children being frozen during the day, Caohua tried every means to wander around in many villages, picked up some rotten quilts, and dismantled them and sewed them into a thick quilt. During the day, he stuffed the two little guys into them.

Look, lying on the kang, looking out through the gap in the window, listening to the rustling sound of snow falling outside, looking at the hazy sky, the red face was full of joy.

"It's snowing, it's snowing!" God knows that she likes snowing, but unfortunately, there is no place for the gods. This is the second time she has seen snow in her life.

When the grass flower that was slit under the kang, he looked at Duoyu with a smile and nodded, "Well, it's snowing, don't move around, otherwise the heat in the quilt will be gone, be careful to catch a cold." In today's years, you can't even find a piece of ginger. Frozen cold will cost people's lives!

Cao Hua's voice was indescribable and gentle. It was obviously a stern word, but he couldn't help but soften his tone when he said it to the red her voice.

At the same time, my hand was not idle. The needle in my hand was pulled out from my clothes and scratched it twice. Suddenly, Cao Hua's movements stopped. The smile on his lips was too late to retract. His face suddenly changed, and he said in a hurry: "Oh no, it's snowing. If it's frozen, it won't work. Duoduo. You are watching Xiaobao at home. Auntie has to pick up more water to come to the house."

Because of the lack of water and the excess, it is necessary to fetch water by yourself every day. A small bucket every day is enough for their family of three to chew, and there is no water at home.

But it’s snowing now. I thought that the weather has been drought for so long after all. If the weather improves this year, the heavy snow will suddenly rise endlessly, and the cold weather will freeze everywhere. They don’t keep some water at home. If the snow is heavy in the future, don’t you be blind?

After all, God has a bad temper, so you can't predict what she wants to do.

The successful housewife Cao Hua was panicked. This was a serious matter. When she was busy, she threw down the needlework in her hand and hurriedly went to find a shoulder bucket to carry water.

If she could, she wanted to save more firewood. After all, she would have to burn the kang during the day and at night. Otherwise, the two children would not be frozen in this snowy day.

Thinking of these big things, Caohua's movements became more and more urgent.

Seeing this, Duoyu immediately reacted and jumped out of the warm quilt, shouting: "Aunt Caohua put it down and let me do it!"

Of course, when Duoyu shouted and slipped off the kang, he did not forget to cover the quilt with Xiaobao, who had grown up a circle.

Cao Hua turned around when she heard this. Seeing Duo Yu's anxiousness getting off the kang and didn't even wear shoes, she suddenly became anxious. She quickly dropped the shoulder pole and bucket in her hand, rushed up in two steps, and lifted Duo Yu onto the kang, and taught her a lesson, "You kid, the ground is cold, why are you barefoot down!"

Although he was scolded, Duoyu felt happy and didn’t know if he was a naughty person.

But these are not important at the moment. What is important is that there is no water at the bottom of the well except for the withered pumpkin vines. If I don’t go, Aunt Caohua is afraid that she will go home with a lonely heart?

Duoyu laughed guiltily and quickly pulled Cao Hua's sleeve to play tricks, "Aunt Cao Hua, I'll go get water, I'll go, I'll go!"

"No, it's snowing, the ground is slipping. What if you fall down? Just watch Xiaobao at home, I'll go." Caohua felt sorry for the child and was unmoved.

Just kidding, it was a good day before, and the distance between the well was not far from home, and Xiao Lizhuang himself checked many times. Except for the dead people in the houses of several families, the entire Zhuangzi had no one except their mother, and it was still safe. The little benefactor would just carry a small bucket of water every time, otherwise he would not be too tired. Otherwise, he would not be willing to nod.

If it snows today, and she wants to get more water at once and save it at home. Where can she let her children go?

Although Caohua was abusive to children, she had always followed her extra personality before, but when she should be serious, she was very strict and serious. So she shook her head decisively and refused the extra request.

Duoyu was anxious when he saw this. After so long time together, Duoyu knew a little about her personality. So the smart child no longer insisted. Instead, his eyes turned and pointed at the kang to change the topic.

"Aunt Caohua, it's cold or cold on snowy days. I'm so scared! There's not much firewood at home, so if we don't burn the kang at night, we will have to freeze to death."

Well, this is also a problem, but the grass flower that I had thought of long ago is still firm, "I'll go to get the firewood after I finish picking up the water."

"But that's too late! We need a lot of firewood." Duoyu listened to the rustling outside and became more intense. He was not afraid of hitting people. He said, "Aunt Caohua, you know, the snow is getting heavy, and you can't stop for a while. There is a lot of firewood, and time is tight! And you see, I'm so awesome, I'm not afraid of killing people, so let's act separately. You go to get a lot of firewood, I'll fetch water. At worst, I can handle less and go a few more trips. When you finish your work, come and help me."

The final result was that Caohua was compromised by the rogue child.

Even so, Caohua still kept her son on her chest and wrapped her coat, carried an empty bucket on her shoulders, and pulled Duoyu to a place not far from the old well to put down the bucket. She was worried about separation from Duoyu and walked towards the house where she had previously discovered that there was a lot of firewood in the village.

Before leaving, Caohua couldn't help but remind, "Duoduo, take your time, make the water and put it in the bucket. Go back and wait until your aunt sends all the firewood home, and I'll come back to pick it up. Don't carry it home by yourself, be careful of falling."

When Duoyu um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um

It seemed like a matter of a moment, but in fact, Duoyu couldn't figure out what was going on.

At first, a feeling of badness flashed in her heart like palpitations, and then she felt her body suddenly tightening, as if there was some force, sucking and squeezing herself violently, and her whole body floated up in the air.

My heart was beating wildly, and I subconsciously felt that it was unnecessary and I couldn't take care of anything else.

Out of instinctive reaction, he no longer cared about whether too much water would hurt the pumpkin vine. He put all his strength into it, while the pulling force was not yet reached its limit and his consciousness was still clear, he used extra force, held his hands together, and made a particularly loud ummy sound from his mouth, letting the pumpkin vine draw water freely.

It’s a pity that the accident came too quickly and suddenly, and the extra ability was in its infancy. So even if the little guy reacted very quickly, it’s a pity that the water absorbed from the pumpkin vine was soaked in the bottom of the well, about the height of the adult’s thumb, and the bucket of water swaying in two big buckets…

When Cao Hua carried his son on his chest and used the chicken bus at home to transport two trucks of firewood, and then turned back to fetch water, waiting for the mother and son, except for a string of small footprints that had already begun to freeze at the well, and the shallow layer of water at the bottom of the well, there was no other in the whole world except for a string of small footprints that had reached the well, except for two buckets of water that had begun to freeze at the edge of the well, and the shallow layer of water at the bottom of the well, there was no other in the whole world.

"Oh my God, Duoduo? Duoduo! Duoduo..."

There was no one by the well, and Cao Huaman thought the child had fallen into the well. Cao Hua rushed to the well like crazy and called out shrillly. She was anxious and even ignored the danger, carrying her son on her chest and went down to the bottom of the well to search, but unfortunately she found nothing;

I went up to the well and carefully looked around inside and out, but I didn't let go of the corners, but unfortunately I still found nothing;

Find the night from daytime, find the day from nighttime.

One day, two days, three days...

In the unrestrained storm and snow, there is always a thin figure holding a child, shouting Duoduo, and working hard to move around village after village, looking for village after village...

It was obvious that the lonely string of snow footprints that had no return indicate something. Cao Hua knew very well, but she just didn't want to believe that something would happen to her such a powerful little benefactor, so she persistently looked for it, search for it, search for it...
