Why marry someone when you are reborn?
Chapter 8 Shock
For people who had never walked on a mountain road for such a long time, trying to keep up with Aunt Deng and the others was simply torture.
Xu Yun was fine, but Xie Wanqing and Hongyu were only holding on because of the fear of being eaten by wild beasts.
Just by looking at the two men with sweat all over their foreheads and pale faces, you can tell that they are not having a good time.
Even Xu Yun had blisters on the soles of his feet, his legs felt heavy, his mouth was dry, and he barely had the strength to speak.
But she still panted and whispered to encourage Xie Wanqing and Hongyu: "Mother, Hongyu, hold on."
Hongyu wanted to sit down on the ground and not move, but when she thought of the wolf howling, she had to grit her teeth and move forward. At the same time, she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Ah Yun, will they really not kill us?"
Xie Wanqing saw this matter clearly. She moved her legs with difficulty: "If you want to kill him, you should have killed him long ago. There is no need to wait until now."
Xu Yun heard this and smiled: "Aniang is right. However, if you fail the test, it is very likely that you will be thrown here."
Yes, it's a test.
The test began when I heard her say that she was going to join the Spark Army.
If they couldn't keep up, Aunt Deng would never bring them to the Spark Army.
After saying these few words, Xu Yun and the other three didn't say another word. They just lowered their heads and continued to walk - there was no other way. They really couldn't hold on any longer. Saying one more word would be a waste of energy!
The sun has reached its highest point in the sky.
But it's not that hot and sunny in the mountains.
Xu Yun was the first one who couldn't hold on.
She looked up at the sun in the sky, and then everything went dark before her eyes, and she lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he was already lying on the unicycle.
There were many new faces in the team, both men and women, but mostly women, and most of the men were elderly people with gray hair.
Seeing Xu Yun wake up, Xie Wanqing's eyes were red with joy: "Ah Yun, don't dare to scare mother again."
Just now, Xu Yun fell to the ground with a thump, and Xie Wanqing was so scared that she almost fainted.
Aunt Deng came over to take a look and stamped her feet in anger: "This child is so young, how can he be so weak? Quick, quick, carry him under the shade of a tree and give him some sugar water!"
Seeing Xu Yun wake up, Aunt Deng came over with a fierce face and scolded him again: "You have a big mouth but you don't know how to talk? You are trying to hold on even though you can't hold on any longer? Aren't you afraid of really dying?"
Xu Yun smiled and thanked him: "Thank you very much."
Auntie Deng, who had a stern face just now, couldn't hold it anymore. She smacked her lips, uttered "Ah" for a long while, and stopped talking. She turned to Xie Wanqing and said, "You two should go sit in the car too. Don't turn around and fall down again!"
In this way, Xu Yun and the other two followed Aunt Deng and her group and walked in the mountains for another five days. They ate dry bread when they were hungry and drank spring water when they were thirsty. Only then did they see villages and people.
When they saw people, Xie Wanqing and Hongyu were a little excited - in addition to traveling, they had also been living in fear for the past few days.
This village is obviously the territory of Aunt Deng and her group.
As soon as they came out of the woods, people came to greet them cheering, many of them were half-grown children.
Some people even ran back to report the news, shouting as they ran: "Auntie Deng is back! Auntie Deng is back!"
Aunt Deng was also beaming with joy. She first arranged for the things they had brought back with great difficulty: "Weigh the grain and salt, then send a letter to ask them to come and move them. Then everyone can go home and rest! Rest for three days, and then we will set off again!"
Xu Yun's guess was confirmed.
There was indeed food and salt in these linen bags.
Aunt Deng then looked at Xu Yun and the other three and said, "Come with me."
Xu Yun and the other two looked at each other and followed Aunt Deng.
Aunt Deng brought them to a house in the village. There was already a smell of food in the house. A young woman came out of the house to greet them: "Auntie——"
The smile on her face turned into surprise when she saw Xu Yun and the other three: "They are--"
A three or four-year-old child ran out of the house and rushed straight to Aunt Deng: "Grandma~"
Auntie Deng picked up the little boy and kissed him hard on the cheek: "Tie Niu, do you miss me?"
After the kiss, he remembered to introduce them to the young woman: "Old man and his wife, I picked them up on the road. You cook more rice!"
She turned around and smiled at Xu Yun and the others: "This is my eldest son's wife! You can just call her Hua Niang."
Hua Niang smiled shyly at the three of them.
Xie Wanqing and the others hurriedly greeted Hua Niang and apologized for the trouble.
Hua Niang said it was no trouble, but looked at Aunt Deng in embarrassment and said, "Mom, we don't have much rice left."
Aunt Deng's face suddenly turned embarrassed.
Xu Yun said quickly: "We have brought some money, but we still need you to buy it."
Xie Wanqing also laughed and said, "We can eat anything."
Auntie Deng glared at Auntie Hua and said, "Go cook! Steam another egg!"
Nowadays, in this world, when guests come to your home, giving them a steamed egg is the highest level of treatment.
Xie Wanqing and Hongyu didn't know what the world had become, but Xu Yun knew. Hearing this, he was a little surprised and quickly declined: "No, no, save it for your little baby."
They were not really guests in the first place, and Hua Niang was obviously reluctant to entertain them. They were not tactful enough and were just annoying.
Auntie Deng waved her hands impatiently: "You are weaker than my Tie Niu. Besides, you don't have to pay me!"
Xu Yun choked for a moment, then thanked him sincerely again.
Aunt Deng waved her hand and left.
Although Hua Niang was reluctant, she had no choice but to entertain her mother-in-law since she had spoken. She was not so gentle and kind when she met Xu Yun and the others, but she was not so unbearable.
Xie Wanqing was a little uneasy, and Xu Yun held her back: "Mother, I just recovered from my illness, and Hongyu's injury hasn't healed yet. We need to take care of our bodies."
Auntie Deng also saw this, so she told her daughter-in-law. Keep this kindness and grace in mind and find a chance to repay it in the future. But there is no need to refuse blindly and suffer with your body. If you hurt your foundation, you will die early in the future.
Xie Wanqing heard Xu Yun say this, even though she felt embarrassed, she did not insist, she just rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then I'll go and help."
Brown rice, boiled water spinach, and a bowl of steamed egg make a very decent meal.
During the meal, Aunt Deng scooped two spoonfuls of egg custard for her grandson, and asked Aunt Hua to feed her grandson, without eating a single spoonful herself.
When Xie Wanqing argued with her, Aunt Deng glared at her impatiently: "I say you gentlemen are trouble! Your daughter's face has turned so pale, why are you still trying to give in to me?"
Although she was treated harshly by her husband's family, Xie Wanqing had never lived with such people before and was at a loss for what to do.
Xu Yun picked up the spoon, divided the egg custard, and thanked Aunt Deng with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Deng, I'm just embarrassed."
Aunt Deng looked at Xie Wanqing and said nothing. She just waved her hand and said, "Eat, eat!"
After saying that, he started eating with big mouthfuls of rice, without any regard for manners at all, just wanting to be fast.
After she finished eating, she looked at Xie Wanqing's gentle manner and wanted to say something, but she held back: "You guys eat slowly, I still have things to do. After you finish eating, let Hua Niang take you to bed!"
Xu Yun responded, and Aunt Deng left in a hurry. As she walked out the door, she couldn't help muttering, "It's strange that you can eat so much! No wonder you look like you'll be blown down by a gust of wind!"
There was no contempt in his tone, but rather a sense of disappointment.
Although Aunt Deng's voice was very soft, Xu Yun had good hearing and still heard it.
After dinner, Hua Niang took them into the room, let the three of them rest, and then went back to work.
It was only at this moment that Hongyu and Xie Wanqing finally had the energy to ask Xu Yun: "Will they really lead us to find the Spark Army?"
