Chapter 159 Where Will It Flow?
Su Qingmei looked at Xiaobao and saw that he was staring at the black bear with a puffy face.
It should be that the black bear kicked her just now, which made Xiaobao angry.
Since the child was born, he has been very close to Su Qingmei, probably because mother and child are connected by heart. They have been traveling and fleeing all the way, and they have lived a hard life with her all the way. Xiaobao has become closer and closer to her. As soon as he woke up and couldn't see her, he would look for her. When he saw someone treated her badly, he would also get a little upset.
Su Qingmei didn't want the black bear to see Xiaobao like this, so she hurriedly pulled Xiaobao behind her. She squatted down on the bluestone slab, picked up a piece of clothing from the basin, dipped it in the water, and took it to the bluestone slab and beat it with a laundry mallet.
The black bear saw that she was willing to do it, so he turned around and left.
He was not afraid of leaving her alone here. There was only one road leading to the outside of this village, and the brothers guarded it layer by layer, so she, a woman with a child, could not escape.
Once you enter the village, you can't fly away even if you have wings. What's there to be afraid of?
Su Qing'an waited until the back of the black bear could no longer be seen, threw away her clothes, pulled Xiaobao over and comforted him. She looked around and took out a lollipop to reward Xiaobao.
Xiaobao immediately smiled, and his eyes narrowed with joy.
Su Qing'an felt a little sad. She really didn't want to stay in this ancient time! Can Xiaobao be taken back to the modern times? He wanted to watch cartoons for him, give him delicious food, and buy him the best clothes.
Xiaobao threw himself on Su Qing'an's back, sucking the lollipop bit by bit with one hand, and holding Su Qing'an's shoulders with the other hand.
Su Qing'an felt Xiaobao's warm body temperature, and her heart was extremely comforted. She smiled and talked to him while washing the clothes in her hands.
A group of thieves kidnapped her and her son, and she didn't get angry yet, so how could she wash their clothes? Can Su Qing'an wash them properly? Of course not.
You asked me to wash, okay, I washed. But you didn't tell me to wash them thoroughly. Right.
Su Qing'an threw three large basins of clothes into the water, lifted them up when they got wet, took off her shoes, stepped on them and wrung out the water twice, and then, mom, they were washed.
After rinsing the three large basins of clothes, wrung them out, and stacked them in the basins, she started playing with Xiaobao in the mountain stream.
"Hey, son, look, there are fish here! Our Xiaobao hasn't seen fish swimming in the water yet, right? Look, mom will catch one for you!"
After saying that, Su Qing'an rolled up her trouser legs and went down. The water was not deep, just up to the kneecaps. She stood on tiptoe, trying not to make too many waves, and quickly reached for the dense water plants on the side with her hands...
"Hey, I caught it. Son, look, it's a small crucian carp!"
Su Qingmei grabbed the fish from above the gills, fixed the fish's body, and held it up for Xiaobao to see. Xiaobao clapped his hands and laughed happily, stretching out his little hands to get it.
Su Qingmei saw that he was brave, so she grabbed his little hands and taught him to hold the fish from the back of the fish...But as soon as she let go, the fish swung its tail and broke free from Xiaobao's hands.
She threw a few drops of water at Xiaobao, making him tilt his head and squint his eyes. Seeing the fish fall on the bluestone slab, he became anxious, squatted down, and pounced on it with his two little hands. The fish jumped up and flipped into the water after a few somersaults.
It disappeared after a few more jumps.
"Ah, ah..." Xiaobao stared at the water surface and pointed with his little hand, shouting ah ah ah, and looked up at Su Qing'an again.
Su Qing'an laughed: "Learn from mother, fish, fish. The fish is gone."
"Fish...see..."
"Yes, fish, gone."
"Fish..." He said fish, and his two little hands turned up and down towards her, saying that the fish was gone. How could it be gone?
His ignorant look made Su Qing'an love him so much. What a good boy.
Su Qing'an held his little face and kissed him: "Good son, then mother will catch another one for you, okay?"
Then she let him stand on the bluestone slab, and she went into the water again.
This warm scene of mother and son playing in the water made the two people who were hiding and observing not far away laugh.
"Grandpa, are there good people among the thieves? She loves her son so much, so he must not be a bad person, right?" The girl said to the old man beside her.
"This mother and son should not belong to those thieves. I'm afraid they were captured by those people."
"Ah? Were they captured? Then she is more pitiful than us. That child is so cute and smart. His mother can be seen to love him very much. Was he captured? If they are lost, the family must be looking for them like crazy?"
"Yes, the family must be looking for them like crazy. Damn thieves, they just don't care about human affairs!" The old man gritted his teeth when talking about the group of thieves.
Staring at the mother and son at the mountain stream, seeing that the young mother was gentle and careful, and the son was smart and cute, he felt sorry in his heart.
These thieves are really damned, and they don't care about human affairs. They captured the mother and son and locked them up in this mountain. I don't know how the family can find them.
"Grandpa..."
"Xiu'er, come, listen to grandpa..."
The two hid in the dense forest, and the old man gave his granddaughter a lot of instructions.
Su Qing'an didn't see this scene in the dense forest. The black bear didn't tell her where to send the washed clothes. The mountain road was so high and steep, and he wanted her to move them up?
I'm afraid it's just a daydream.
Su Qingmei ignored him. She stayed here in the mountain stream. When it got dark, if the black bear didn't come, she would take Xiaobao to a house with lights. As for the clothes, she would just leave them here.
So she was not in a hurry, and just took Xiaobao to play by the water.
These days, the mother and son have been fleeing, and it is a rare opportunity to relax with Xiaobao. Su Qingmei will naturally not miss this parent-child time.
Seeing that Xiaobao is brave and eager to jump into the water, she stripped him naked and threw him into the water. These days, the mother and son have not been able to take a good bath. If it were not broad daylight, she would have jumped into the water to take a good bath.
Xiaobao seemed to like water very much. Although the water was flooded to his little chin, he still laughed happily. He also stood on tiptoes without any instruction and plopped his whole body into the water. His little body twisted and turned like a little frog.
Su Qingmei held his little belly so that he could float on the water with his limbs.
Sometimes when she saw that he was having fun, she quietly let go of her hand... When he was about to sink, she would pick him up with her hands.
The mother and son had a lot of fun.
Su Qingmei carried him along the way, slowly walking along the direction of the water flow, and Xiaobao was not tired, his limbs splashed happily, splashing water excitedly.
The mother and son walked all the way to a place with clear and shallow water, and Su Qingmei let Xiaobao play by himself, and she began to look at the stream.
Where will the water flow? I wonder if I can escape from this village along this stream?
What is outside this village? What if it is also occupied by evil people? If I escape from this tiger's den, I am afraid I will enter another wolf's den. There are probably many poisonous snakes and wild animals in this vast mountain.
Don't do it recklessly. You have to plan it well.
When Su Qingmei looked at this stream and the surrounding mountains, the grandparents and grandchildren in the dense forest were also staring at her closely.
"Grandpa, what is she looking at?"
The old man smiled and said, "This woman is very smart. She might want to escape along this stream."
"Ah? She can't get out. We don't know where the water in this stream flows!"
"If you have an idea, you will find a way out."
"Grandpa..."
"Do as Grandpa says."
