The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

He could only beg in a low voice: "Mom, it hurts. My ear is about to fall off. Be gentle, be gentle."

You have to let your son know why he died. Why did you hit me? "

Seeing that Wang Chengzi dared to ask why he was being beaten, Old Lady Wang hit him even harder with her shoe.

The soles of his men's shoes were almost dancing into shadows. The mud on the soles left clear prints of size 37 soles on Wang Chengzi's back.

There were also grains of dirt falling from Wang Chengzi's clothes.

Wang Chengzi begged for mercy while his eyes darted around.

Looking for someone who can save him. At this time, he happened to see Lao Wang holding a bundle of firewood and a large bunch of wax gourds with the hem of his clothes.

"Dad, come quickly, come quickly. Save me. Mom hit me."

Wang Chengzi quickly called for help from Old Wang, hoping that Old Wang could save him and ask his mother to stop beating him.

Old Wang saw Old Lady Wang slapping Wang Chengzi. He walked over and said, "Mother Zhuzi, why don't you stop beating her. Give the kid some face."

"Mom, please forgive me."

Old Mrs. Wang glanced at Old Wang and stopped working on the soles of the shoes in her hands.

But he didn't let go of Wang Chengzi's ear.

After a cold smile, someone said, "Do you know why I beat him? The darling is already three years old, and he, as a father, hasn't even given him a name yet."

After hearing what Old Lady Wang said, Old Wang first put down the firewood in his hand, and then slowly put the wax gourd in his clothes pocket on the ground.

He said to Old Lady Wang, "Mother Zhuzi, please stop hitting me."

Wang Chengzi was about to laugh when he saw Old Wang pull out a stick as thick as an arm from the pile of firewood.

He weighed it in his hand and continued, "I'll do it. Use this."

Only then did Old Lady Wang loosen her hand that was twisting Wang Chengzi's ear and stand aside.

He also did not forget to remind Old Wang to twist his ears and hit him to prevent him from running away.

Wang Chengzi looked at the stick in Old Wang's hand and swallowed his saliva. He felt like crying but couldn't.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? Are you going to beat my dad?" Xiaomi blinked, being held by Daya's hand.

Standing not far away, he said to Old Wang.

When Old Wang saw Xiaomi coming back, he quickly threw away the stick in his hand and said with a loving smile, "No, Grandpa and your father were just joking."

Wang Chengzi quickly ran to Xiaomi, picked her up and held her against his chest, using her as his shield.

With Xiaomi in my arms, I finally felt stronger.

He said to Old Lady Wang, "How do you know I didn't take it? I took it a long time ago.

You didn’t ask me.”

He looked at Xiaomi with grievance. Like a primary school student complaining, he said to Xiaomi: "My dear, your grandparents beat me."

Xiaomi looked at Wang Chengzi who was acting coquettishly towards her with a frown on his face.

The corners of his mouth twitched, but he still comforted him, "Dad, it's okay. You see, grandma never hits others. She only hits you. What does this mean?"

It means that I treat you very well. I love you the most."

Wang Chengzi was shocked by Xiaomi's words. Now it was his turn to twitch his mouth.

"Oh, is that so?"

Xiaomi: "Of course. Believe me. I never tell lies."

---

Xiaomi and Daya gathered together to eat the wax gourd picked by Lao Wang. They took a bite, then pursed their lips and spit out the seeds like a pea shooter.

"This wax gourd is delicious, but it has too many seeds." Daya spit out the seeds and still talked.

Xiaomi nodded in agreement, and then looked at Wang Chengzi and the other two sitting on the side.

Old Lady Wang repeated the name Wang Chengzi had just said: "Junruo. Junruo."

Wang Chengzi quickly explained: "Jing is as bright as the moon, and Wen is as beautiful as brocade.

"Jun" means beautiful jade. I hope that my dear will be both talented and beautiful in the future. "

Old Wang was satisfied after hearing Wang Chengzi's explanation.

He nodded and said calmly, "Junruo is a good name. A good name."

Xiaomi also nodded. Wang Junruo, she also liked this name.

It sounds much more cultured than the name her parents gave her, Xiaomi. As expected of educated people, the name is elegant.

Thinking of this, Xiaomi suddenly felt a little depressed.

I don't know what happened to my parents. I guess I'm dead in modern times. Will my parents be sad?

"Tuanzi, do you know what my parents are like in modern times?" Xiaomi said dejectedly.

"They will be sad to know I'm gone. My mom will cry."

Tuanzi could tell Xiaomi was very sad, so he comforted her, "Xiaomi, your parents are not sad. They are happy every day."

Xiaomi couldn't believe what Tuanzi said. She blinked her sore eyes and said to Tuanzi, "It's impossible. My parents love me so much, how could they not be sad at all?"

After saying that, he paused and wiped away the tears that had flowed unconsciously: "It's better this way, it's better not to be sad."

Tuanzi quickly added, “That’s because the modern you is not dead to them.

When I bring you into the Great Xia Dynasty, you will be recreated in the modern times.

Or maybe it’s all you, just entering two parallel lines.”

Xiaomi then realized that this was a good thing, as modern parents would not be so sad about losing their children in middle age.

After listening to Tuanzi's words, Xiaomi didn't say anything for a long time. He just squatted quietly beside the tree.

There is a sense of loneliness all over the body.

When Old Lady Wang saw this, she felt her heart tighten.

Feeling extremely distressed, he quickly ran over, picked up Xiaomi, and held her in his arms, coaxing her gently.

"My dear, why are you squatting here by yourself? Did your brothers bully you? Wait until they come back and I'll beat them up to vent your anger, okay?"

As Old Lady Wang spoke, she rocked her body gently, just like when Xiaomi was a child, to make Xiaomi in her arms more comfortable.

Xiaomi lay in the arms of Old Lady Wang, smelling her scent, and slowly calmed down.

In fact, Old Lady Wang’s body didn’t smell good. After all, she hadn’t taken a shower for a long time, and she was on the road every day, so the sweat on her body kept drying up and getting wet again and again.

The linen clothes, which were originally rough, became hard because they absorbed too much sweat.

There was also a slight sour smell on her body. But Xiaomi felt that the embrace of Old Lady Wang was so warm and reassuring.

It was as if I didn't have to think about anything when I was lying in Grandma Wang's arms. I just had to be Grandma Wang's good boy.

Xiaomi sniffed and rubbed against Old Lady Wang's arms affectionately.

He said in a muffled voice, "Grandma, no. My brothers didn't bully me. I was just sleepy."

Old Lady Wang was relieved. She stroked Xiaomi's hair and said gently, "Then take a nap. Grandma will accompany you."

Xiaomi shook her head and said, "No, I won't be able to sleep at night now."

Just at this time, Qian Youliang came to Xiaomi and said that the Gastrodia elata had been washed and asked Xiaomi what to do next.

"Grandma, let me go down, I'll go take a look."

Only then did Old Lady Wang put Xiaomi down and watched Xiaomi follow Qian Youliang towards the pond.

When Xiaomi walked to the edge of the pond, he saw piles of washed Gastrodia elata, dripping with water, spread out beside him.
