Chapter 314 Home is a Place You Can Never Return to
After making up her mind, Yuxiu went into the space to clean up and started working on the harvester.
Threshing, cleaning, drying, bagging...
After going through this series of processes, when all the grain was put back into the previous warehouse, Yuxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I've been so tired after working for so long, I might as well make some delicious food to replenish my body.
He left a letter in the room where he lived, saying that he was going out with his master to do some business again, and then left Black Bear Pass directly.
Lamb kebabs, roasted whole lamb, here I come...
Before, Yu Xiucai did not take anything with him because he was afraid of implicating those women of the Yuan Dynasty. This time, he planned to plunder a lot.
Unexpectedly, after coming here, she found that things were far from as simple as she had imagined.
"Ouch..."
"Ouch..."
As soon as Yuxiu came out of the space, she heard the howling of wolves coming from the valley not far away.
It was not surprising to see wolves in this place, so Yuxiu did not care and turned around to leave.
“Help…Help…Mother…Wuwuwu…”
"Sister...I'm so scared..."
"Ouch..."
"Ah ah ah..."
Just after walking a few steps away, I heard the shrill cries of children, mixed with the howling of wolves. It seemed very terrifying in this empty wilderness.
Because it was a child's cry, Yuxiu was not so cruel as to ignore it, so she thought about going over to take a look.
When they got to the valley, they found a large haystack with two disheveled children huddled inside. Only ten meters away from them, three skinny wolves were slowly approaching.
"Wuwuwu... don't come over here..."
The two children looked to be about seven or eight years old. When they saw the wild wolf slowly approaching, they were so scared that they hugged each other tightly and cried inconsolably.
Yuxiu sighed and without further hesitation, she quickly took out her bow and arrow and shot several wolves to death in just a few shots.
"Thank you, brother... Thank you..."
The two children were quite smart. When they saw the wolves being shot dead, they quickly supported each other and ran over. They fell at Yuxiu's feet and kowtowed to thank her.
When Yu Xiu got closer, he found that the two children were both little girls, and their faces did not look like those of the Northern Di people, but rather like those of the Yuan people. So he tentatively said:
"You're welcome. Where are your parents? Why did they let you go out alone at such a young age?"
You know, there are still quite a few wolves here. The last time Yuxiu came here, she encountered a large group of wild wolves, but at that time she went directly into the space to hide and did not have any direct contact with them.
"My father... is dead... My mother came home a few days ago. Grandma said that we were living on free food..."
From the girl's intermittent crying, Yuxiu also understood the two people's life stories.
Their father was a Northern Di man who died in a battle with the Yuan people. Their mother was a Yuan woman who was also sent back to Black Bear Pass a few days ago.
The girl also had two uncles, who also died in the battle. Her three sons were killed by the Yuan people in a row. The girl's grandmother hated the Yuan people so much that she often tortured the mother and her two daughters. If there weren't so many cattle and sheep that needed feeding, she would have killed them long ago.
But this time, after the girl's mother was sent back to the Yuan Dynasty, the old woman could no longer suppress her anger and immediately drove her two granddaughters out of the house.
The two children were born very thin, and being driven out in this icy and snowy place, they would starve to death or freeze to death even if they didn't encounter any wild beasts.
But the two children were lucky enough. They quickly found the big haystack and immediately hid in it.
When they were at home, they were often punished to sleep in the haystacks, so they didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
In addition, their mother packed some dried meat for them before she left. When they were hungry, they took out a piece of dried meat and chewed it slowly. When they were thirsty, they scooped up a handful of snow and melted it in their mouths and swallowed it. In this way, they barely managed to get through two days of peaceful life.
After hearing about the two children, Yuxiu sighed again, pretended to rummage in the bag behind her, took out two big white steamed buns and handed them over.
"Eat it. After you eat, I'll take you back. There are wolves here. If you encounter them again, you won't have the same luck as you did just now."
She was thinking about how to deal with the vicious old woman, but she found that the two children did not even come to take the steamed buns from her hands.
"Why? You don't want to eat steamed buns?"
"No, we have never seen such big and white buns..."
The two girls waved their hands quickly, looking at the steamed buns in front of them. They both swallowed hard, but after looking at each other, they forced themselves to look away.
"We won't go home. Grandma said that if she sees us again, she will kill us and throw us out to feed the wolves..."
"Brother, we are not going home. My mother said that our home is not here. My home is far away, a place we can never go back to..."
"Wuwuwu...We want to find our mother..."
As the two children talked, perhaps they thought of their mother again and could not help but hug each other and wipe their tears.
After a moment of silence, Yuxiu handed the steamed bun in her hand over.
"Eat first. After you finish eating, I'll find a safe place for you to stay. Maybe your mother will come to look for you soon."
Hearing that the kindhearted older brother no longer offered to send them home, the two girls were pleasantly surprised. They immediately and carefully took the steamed buns and kept thanking him.
Watching them eating the steamed buns in small bites, Yuxiu thought for a moment and asked again:
"When your mother was taken away, didn't she say she wanted to take you sisters with her?"
It seems that this kind of thing happens a lot here. Children without their mothers to protect them will definitely have a hard time.
"My mother... held us tightly and refused to let go, but she was still knocked unconscious and carried away..."
"Mother said she wanted to take us with her...but grandma said she would not let us go even if she killed us all..."
Yuxiu didn't know what to say. She watched the two of them swallow a big steamed bun and roll their eyes because of choking. Just when she was thinking of getting them some water to drink, she saw them skillfully grabbing the snow next to them and putting it into their mouths.
Yuxiu suppressed her sadness and asked for their mother's name and the direction of their so-called home. Then she repeated her old trick and sprinkled some love powder on them.
She took the two people into the space and sent them directly to the village where Aunt Bao lived, asking them to take care of them for two days.
Aunt Bao's family was very warm towards Yuxiu. After hearing about this, they patted their chests and assured her that they would take good care of the two young girls.
