Chapter 1097: The Cannon Fodder Mother Killed by Her Peaceful Son (4)

Su Li snorted and laughed, "You wish!"

She glanced at Zhao Yurong and said, "Let's go, let's continue heading south!"

Zhao Yurong glanced at Zhao Youming, who had a complicated expression, nodded, and got on the ox cart.

Su Li drove a ox cart to the official road.

The reason why she was in such a hurry to leave was mainly because she sensed that a large group of refugees were about to arrive at the ruined temple.

Those people were not within her mission scope, and there was no need for her to be there.

To avoid more trouble.

"Ruyue, Ruyue, where are you going?" Seeing Su Li driving the ox cart away, the Zhao father and son also followed the ox cart and chased after him.

Su Li ignored them and drove the ox cart forward leisurely.

As for why ox carts were used, one reason was that oxen had great endurance and could carry both people and goods.

Secondly, you can see the father and son chasing behind you in a panic.

As long as the father and son caught up a little, Su Li would deliberately speed up.

As long as they slowed down, Su Li would slow down too.

On the official road, there were many people fleeing famine with their families.

Everyone's face was filled with despair, fatigue, and hunger.

When they saw Su Li driving the strong and sturdy ox cart, a hint of envy appeared on their faces.

"Dad, what happened to my mom? Why does she just ignore me?" Zhao Yusheng, who was hungry and tired, gasped heavily.

The same is true for Zhao Youming.

He bent over, his temples covered in sweat, "It's all your fault. Why are you talking about your sister for no reason?"

Zhao Youming suddenly realized that if he wanted to reach the south safely, he could only rely on his wife and daughter.

"I'm not wrong! Yurong's actions have brought disgrace upon our Zhao family!"

Zhao Yusheng didn't think she was wrong at all. "If my son passes the imperial examination in the future, and others know that I have such a sister, I will be laughed to death!"

"That's something for the future! Look now, your mother and your sister are angry, and we don't even have food to eat!" Zhao Youming, who could no longer move, collapsed on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhao Yusheng couldn't hold it in any longer and sat down as well.

"Mom, Dad and brother didn't catch up!" Zhao Yurong said in a low voice, looking back from time to time.

"Okay, I got it. Let's find a place to rest!" Su Li glanced at the sky and nodded.

It was already noon, and the scorching sun was evaporating the pure sweat on everyone's body.

She glanced at the side of the road and saw a small forest.

Without bark and leaves, it looks sparse.

Although it can't block the scorching sun, I can collect some firewood to cook.

On the official road, as time passed, many people had gone to find secluded places to rest.

She drove the carriage to the edge of the woods, "Yurong, go pick up some dry firewood!"

"Okay, Mom!" Zhao Yurong responded.

Not far away, a young mother holding a baby was cutting her fingers to feed her baby.

Perhaps due to lack of water, both mother and child showed symptoms of dehydration.

Su Li frowned.

She finally sighed.

With a slight movement of his fingers, dark clouds suddenly covered the scorching sun.

Without the scorching sun, there was suddenly a hint of coolness in the air.

Then, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

"It's raining! It's raining!" A happy smile appeared on the young mother's face.

She opened her mouth, trying to let the rain moisten her dry lips.

All this rainwater was brought from the south by Su Li.

The rainfall was not heavy, but it was enough to dissipate a lot of the heat.

"Oh, great! It's raining! It hasn't rained for almost a year!"

Zhao Yurong, who was originally collecting firewood, forgot what she was going to do and opened her arms to embrace the air.

Su Li couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, the rain wasn't heavy.

It rained for a while and then stopped.

However, she still did not let the sun appear and went on to clean up the pots and pans.

After the rain stopped, Zhao Yurong picked up a lot of firewood that was not wet, "Mom, what are we going to eat?"

"Let's have porridge with noodles!" Su Li said casually.

Eating meat next to the official road is too eye-catching, and all the wild vegetables nearby have been picked up.

As for rabbits, pheasants and so on, forget it.

"Okay!" Zhao Yurong didn't care, but was extremely happy.

The young mother not far away looked at Su Li washing rice and cooking, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

She looked at the dying child in her arms, gritted her teeth and took out an inconspicuous wooden hairpin from her sleeve.

"Big sister, can I exchange this silver hairpin for a bowl of porridge? My child hasn't eaten for a long time!"

She pleaded bitterly and humbly, "I know this wooden hairpin is worthless, but it is the most valuable thing I have now! Big sister, can you give me a bowl in exchange?"

Su Li looked at her and shook his head. "I'll give you a bowl later. You can keep this wooden hairpin for yourself!"

In order to keep her child alive, the young mother fed her own blood without hesitation.

She has always kept this wooden hairpin close to her body, and it must have great meaning to her.

For the sake of her child, she took out the thing she cherished most, which really moved Su Li a little.

It was just a bowl of porridge, which was a drop in the bucket for Su Li.

Soon, the porridge and dough dumplings were ready, and Su Li was about to hand a bowl to the young mother.

The Zhao family father and son rushed out.

"Kisaragi!"

"mother!"

Su Li glanced at them and handed the bowl to the young mother steadily, "It's a little hot, drink it slowly!"

"Ruyue, you don't care about the life and death of your husband and son, but give food to others. What does this mean?"

Zhao Youming looked disappointed. "In your heart, is an outsider more important than your family?"

Zhao Yusheng also said, "Mom, do you still have me as your son in your heart? Do you know that Dad and I are hungry and tired in pursuit of you?"

Su Li glanced at him and said, "Zhao Yusheng, don't forget that you had everything you needed back then! How did we become like this? Don't you have any idea?"

"When you led people to open the granary, did you ever think about your family? Huh?" Su Li sneered.

Yes, she did it on purpose.

Firstly, he saw that the young mother was indeed pitiful for her child, and secondly, he wanted Zhao Yusheng to feel what his original body had felt when he opened the warehouse to give away grain.

"I..." Zhao Yusheng was indeed speechless.

Then, he said stubbornly, "It was a different time. At that time, I thought my father had hidden a lot of food in other places, so I did that!"

"okay!"

Su Li waved her hand, not wanting to listen to his nonsense anymore. "I can give my food to whoever I want, but not to you and your son! If you want to eat, find a way yourself!"

"Mom! How can I find a solution? There is not even a single family in this area of ​​dozens of miles!"

Zhao Yusheng was about to cry. "The ground and the trees have been gnawed, even the bark has been eaten. What can my father and I do?"

"That's your business! What does it have to do with me!" Su Li rolled his eyes and started eating white porridge and noodles with Zhao Yurong.
