Dressed as A Female Cannon Fodder in the 1960s (Wear Books)

Chapter 38

Resigned To Fate

   For the first time, Li Chunmei knew what it means to be isolated and helpless, and the person who caused the situation today was caused by Li Chunmei herself.

Thinking of this, Li Chunmei's eyes were red.

She clenched her hands and gritted her teeth to the old man Wu: "Dad, what I did was wrong in the past, this time I was too selfish, I only paid attention to myself, but didn't pay attention to your life and death, I apologize, I have been together with Liangzi for so long. Now, you have given birth to so many children to your old Wu family, so you can forgive me this time, okay?"

Li Chunmei's words made the surrounding faces no more expressions, especially Wu Liang, who pointed to the shed in the yard and said to Li Chunmei: "Reflect on it, we'll talk about the divorce tomorrow." Li Chunmei covered her face and cried when she saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

Wu Ya felt a little uncomfortable seeing Li Chunmei cry.

After all, it was her mother. Seeing Li Chunmei so wronged, Wu Ya walked into the house and looked at Lin Qing who was taking out the flour from the rice jar and said, "Sister, is Dad really going to divorce Mom?"

"I don't know, It's an adult's business, we don't need to worry about it."

"Although Mom has done a lot of wrong things, she is still my mom. If Mom and Dad get divorced, what will we do?"

Wu Ya said with a look of fear on her face. looked at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing put the flour aside, clapped her hands, and said, "Isn't divorce still the same? If divorce can make mother's character restrained, it would be pretty good."

Wu Ya felt that Lin Qing's words made some sense, but she was still worried. Not so worried now.

"Sister, what are we going to eat tonight? It's raining so hard, and we can't go to the neighbor's house to borrow rice. Last time my mother offended Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu definitely won't borrow us."

Wu Ya thought that Li Chunmei always offended people, and she felt in her heart. A little stuffy.

Lin Qing pointed her finger at Wu Ya, Wu Ya thought that Lin Qing had something delicious for her, but Lin Qing asked her to knead the dough.

Wu Ya looked at the dough in front of her, her eyelids twitched and said, "Sister, would you let me knead it?"

"Or? I haven't recovered yet, so you have the heart to let me do it? Besides, aren't you hungry? , I'll get you knife-sliced ​​noodles."

"Really?"

Although Wu Ya didn't know what knife-sliced ​​noodles were, she felt so delicious just listening to it that her saliva was drooling.

"Boom."

Just when Lin Qing was about to say something, a muffled thunder sounded not far away, slashing directly from the window, frightening Lin Qing.

Lin Qing looked over and saw the darkness on the north side, and a sense of unease filled his heart.

Heavy rain is coming, I am afraid that today or tomorrow, the village will be flooded.

Hopefully the drain here is good so it shouldn't knock them all away.

"It's raining a lot."

Wu Ya looked at the heavy rain outside the window while making flour, her face turned pale with fright.

Lin Qing pursed his lips and instructed Wu Ya, "Do it well, and call me when you do it."

"Okay."

Lin Qing came out of the kitchen, returned to his room, and took out the space ring.

There was a ray of light in the space ring, but it quickly disappeared.

Lin Qing pondered on the ring for a long time, but couldn't find a reason.

At this time, it was raining heavily.

Wu Ya finished the dough, and Lin Qing cut the dough with his hands.

After cooking, they greeted the family for dinner.

Lin Qing starved to death, he ate two full bowls, Old Man Wu ate a large bowl, and everyone else ate half a bowl.

After all, there is not enough flour, so I only made so much.

But everyone has no opinion. If it wasn't for Lin Qing, they might not be able to sleep on an empty stomach now.

Li Chunmei didn't eat anything. She ate the rice by herself. Naturally, everyone did not like Li Chunmei, and they would not greet Li Chunmei for dinner.

After dinner, Lin Qing directed Wu Er to wash up, and everyone else went back to their rooms to sleep.

However, halfway through sleep, the house began to leak.

Wu Er began to scream.

Lin Qing was also wet from the rain and got up from the bed.

She ruffled her hair wet by the rain and walked to the door. Seeing that the water had swelled by two-thirds outside, Lin Qing sighed and called everyone in the family up.

"The rain is flooding two-thirds of the whole house. Let's get out of here quickly."

"What are we going to do?"

Wu Liang was startled when he saw the backlog of water at the door, and looked at Lin Qing at a loss.

After all, the old man Wu was old, and when he saw the heavy rain, his house was gone, and his hands and feet were cold.

Lin Qing grabbed Old Man Wu's hand and said to him, "Leave here first."

Lin Qing didn't expect this rain to be so much? Directly flooded the house.

She remembered that the back mountain was relatively high and would not be hit by the flood, so it was the best place to take refuge.

"Father, take your grandfather and Wu Ya to the cave in Houshan. I will notify the village chief and let them all go to the back mountain."

"Can you do it alone?"

Old Man Wu grabbed with a worried look. Holding Lin Qing's arm, he said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After Lin Qing said to Old Man Wu, he went to the village chief's house with his mink robe and hat.

She couldn't just watch an entire village drown without saving it.

She believed that the space ring gave her an early warning so that she could save the life of the entire village.

Lin Qing slammed on the doors of every household and asked everyone to take refuge in a cave in the back mountain.

Under the call of Lin Qing, the village chief used the radio that was still available to call everyone to the back mountain, and even the people from the farther educated youth nest also called out.

When Lin Qing asked everyone to go back up the mountain, the yellow mud water had already smashed Lin Qing's entire body.

Lin Qing gritted his teeth and walked towards the back mountain with difficulty.

Everyone hurriedly took their belongings and ran to the back mountain, and no one paid attention to Lin Qing.

When Lin Qing almost fell, a pair of hands stretched out at this moment and hugged Lin Qing.

Lin Qing turned his head and saw Mo Xiao standing behind him.

Lin Qing heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Mo Xiao? Is that you?"

"I'm backing you."

Mo Xiao looked at Lin Qing gloomily and said lightly.

"No, I can go."

Lin Qing shook his head, indicating that he did not need Mo Xiao to carry himself, but Mo Xiao was very stubborn and had to carry Lin Qing's back. Seeing that Mo Xiao was so stubborn, Lin Qing had no choice but to climb onto Mo Xiao's back.

"You did a great job today." When Mo Xiao carried Lin Qing to the back of the mountain, the man said with a faint gaze.

Lin Qing was a little dazed by the rain. After listening to Mo Xiao's words, she yawned and said, "It would be great if I could save everyone's life. I was also a blind cat and a dead mouse, and when I saw the darkness on the north side, I felt that It doesn't look right."

"Yeah."

Mo Xiao replied lightly, and the two didn't speak.

When Mo Xiao and the others arrived at the back mountain, the sound of rushing water drowned the entire village.

Lin Qing and the others stood on the back mountain, looking at the flooded village, and everyone's expressions became ugly.

In this flood situation, if Lin Qing hadn't called them from house to house, many people would probably be waiting to die at home.

"Lin Zi, this time, you saved the life of the entire village." The village chief and several village officials came over in dismay, grabbed Lin Qing's hand, and thanked Lin Qing.

Lin Qing looked at the excited look on the village chief's face, she immediately shook her head and said, "I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse, it's our fate."

"I received a telegram from the city a few days ago, saying We are about to have a flood on our side. The location of the flood is from the granary. I will immediately have people move the grain to a safe place. Fortunately, the flood only hit that area, not this one. Otherwise, we would have a whole year All the food we have is going to be wasted."

A village official sighed at Lin Qing and the others.

"Yeah, thanks to the above, they even sent us a telegram. Otherwise, we would not only have lost the village, but even the food."

Someone else immediately echoed.

We are all together and happy.

Wu Laohan was helped out by Wu Liang. He had lived so much of his life, and it was the first time he saw such a big flood. Fortunately, everyone was fine, and Wu Laohan was naturally happy.

After he saw that Lin Qing was fine, he stepped forward and took Lin Qing's hand, and said with tears: "Everyone is fine, just fine."

"Grandpa, Mom is not here."

Wu Er and Wu Da went When I counted the number of people in my family, I found that Li Chunmei was not there.

Lin Qing frowned and said, "When I called you up, did you go to the shed in the yard to call mom?"

"The shed is so short, Mom should be the first to know about the leak, right?"

Wu Ya looked at Lin Qing and couldn't help asking.

Wu Ya is right, the shed is so short and the bed frame is also short. Logically speaking, Li Chunmei should be the first person to feel something is wrong.

But the people in the village have basically arrived here, but Li Chunmei was not seen.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing's expression darkened.

"Isn't it because I slept too dead?"

"Then what should I do now?"

Wu Ya said in horror when she heard Lin Qing say that.

"Wu Da, haven't you and daddy been riding the flood..."

"No, it's already over there. If you go down now, you might be swept away by the flood."

An aunt next to him said to Lin Qing.

"No, I can't go down now, I'll be dead."

Lin Qing went out a little and looked down. There was a huge flood, which was especially spectacular. If she hadn't known in advance that there would be a flood, she would definitely not be able to escape.

Fortunately, the space ring told her that she could take refuge here.

Lin Qing touched the ring on his chest and thought of Li Chunmei.

She turned her head and said, "There's no other way, you can only... let it be your fate."

Don't blame Lin Qing for being cruel. Now, in this situation, it's just a matter of fate.

If Li Chunmei was alive, everyone would be happy, and if she died... it could only be life.

"I'm here."

Just as the Wu family was silent, a trembling voice came from not far away.

Everyone looked over and saw Li Chunmei leaning on a branch, drenched with yellow mud.

Not a single face of hers was recognizable.

"Mom, we thought you had an accident."

Wu Ya and Wu Er stepped forward and hugged Li Chunmei.

Li Chunmei blushed and said: "I felt the water leaking in the shed, and I was frightened, so I ran out, and then saw that something seemed to collapse on the north side. I was frightened, and I kept nesting in the grass here, just looking at it. A lot of you came here, and I climbed out of the grass."

When Li Chunmei said this, her face was full of guilt.

Lin Qing sneered, this is for Li Chunmei. This woman is really like a day for decades. When she encounters a crisis, she is the first to run. Now, when there is danger, Li Chunmei is the first to think of herself, and she doesn't want her children anymore.

After Wu Liang and the others listened to Li Chunmei's words, the atmosphere became a little stiff.

"Okay, everyone, take a rest, wait for the rain to stop, and try to find a way."

Lin Qing said immediately after seeing that Wu Liang was a little uncomfortable.

Wu Liang reluctantly said: "Lin Zi, when I was supporting your grandpa, his foot was sprained, and there is no medicinal wine in his hand, what should I do?"

"Grandpa is injured?" When Lin heard Wu Liang's words, his heart tightened , and immediately walked towards the old man Wu.

Old Man Wu was sitting on the wet ground, rubbing his left leg. Seeing Lin Qing approaching, Old Man Wu immediately put down his hand, looked at Lin Qing and asked, "Why is his face so ugly? Did he catch a cold just now? "

As he said that, he went around to look around to see if there were any clothes that could protect Lin Qing from the cold.

"Grandpa, your foot is hurt? Roll up your trouser legs and I'll check." Lin Qing frowned and said to the old man Wu.

The old man Wu shook his head and said, "It's okay, just twisted a bit, it's okay."

"You pull up the trouser legs."

Lin Qing refused and insisted.

Old Man Wu had no choice but to pull up his trouser legs.

Lin Qing saw that the old man Wu's calf was swollen and purple, and it looked very serious.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, I can't find medicinal wine now, just bear with it."

Old Man Wu didn't care, patted Lin Qing's hand and said.

Lin Qing pursed his lips, got up and walked out of the cave.

She walked to a place where no one was around, took out a bottle of medicinal wine from her space ring, and when she was about to return to the cave, she turned and bumped into Mo Xiao.

"Where did you get the medicinal wine?"

Lin Qing was still in shock, and before he recovered, Mo Xiao looked at the medicinal wine in Lin Qing's hand and asked Lin Qing with a strange expression.

Lin Qing's scalp was numb, and he said to Mo Xiao sternly, "I just picked it up here. Someone must have landed in this place when someone was moving things."

"Really? Such good luck?"

There was an unfathomable expression on Mo Xiao's reckless face, which made Lin Qing's back numb.

"Comrade Mo, I'll go to my grandfather first, thank you for today's matter."

Lin Qing changed the subject, added thanks, and hurriedly returned to the cave.

Mo Xiao stared coldly at the back of Lin Qing's departure, a strange color flashed in the depths of his eyes.

inside the cave.

Wu Liang and the others looked at Lin Qing with great curiosity when they saw the medicinal wine Lin Qing was holding in their hands: "Lin Zi, the medicinal wine you got there.

" Take the time to call the whole village to take refuge, and you can still find medicinal wine at this time.

"I found it by accident. Which comrade should have left it. Bring it over and use it for Grandpa. It must be very painful for Grandpa to endure it."

Lin Qing gave a simple explanation, opened the lid of the medicinal wine, and rubbed Old Man Wu's wound.

When he just rubbed it, the hurt old man Wu gasped.

This congestion must be rubbed away, otherwise Old Man Wu will be more uncomfortable later.

After rubbing it away, the old man Wu grabbed Lin Qing's hand sweating profusely, and said hoarsely to Lin Qing, "Much better, thank you... Lin Zi."

"What nonsense did Grandpa say? I'm your granddaughter, we are a family. Man, say thank you."

Wu Er and the others on the side looked at Lin Qing with eyes full of attachment.

Lin Qing is now in the hearts of the Wu family, and there is a faint trend of developing towards the mountains.

Li Chunmei was disliked by the Wu family, and she huddled in a place not far from Lin Qing and Wu Liang. Seeing the Wu family's trust and attachment to Lin Qing, Li Chunmei's heart was stuffy, and she felt particularly uncomfortable.

She squeezed the palm of her hand and began to reflect, and found that she had nothing.
