This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

Will Gui Xingwang be willing to give up the pork?

Of course he won't. He wants to swallow it all in one gulp.

But no matter how small the piglets are, he can't finish them all by himself. In addition, in the hot weather now, pork can't be kept for a long time, and it can't be pickled and air-dried.

Rather than letting it stink and spoil, it's better to help others.

Gui Xingwang glanced at Su Lin in front of him.

He is not a selfless good man like Su Lin. He has his reasons for making this choice. If he keeps it for a long time, he won't be able to eat it. It's better to share it with others, so that the villagers can also remember his kindness, and maybe they will listen to his arrangements more in the future.

In this way, the pork is worth giving away.

Thinking of this, the pain in his heart is slightly less. Gui Xingwang sighed, "How can I eat it alone? We all came from the village together. I can't let them watch me eat meat? I can't do such a thing."

This is really true.

Although he had some small thoughts, he really couldn't eat the meat while letting others watch.

Especially when he couldn't finish it by himself, he wouldn't rather let the meat go bad than let others have a bite, right?

After Gui Xingwang finished speaking, he didn't ask Su Lin's opinion.

Su Lin was a good guy, so how could he let the meat go to waste?

"Let's carry it back. There's a fire over there, so it's not too late to have a good meal and go to sleep." Gui Xingwang rubbed his palms, a little impatient.

Su Lin just nodded and followed him to carry the meat back.

He was not unaware of Gui Xingwang's plan, but he didn't intend to intervene.

Gui Xingwang wanted to be the leader of their group. He would get a lot of conveniences if he had the right to speak, but he didn't know that this would also bring a lot of responsibilities and trivial matters.

Being the leader of their group, he got benefits.

That naturally meant that he needed to fulfill some responsibilities and lead everyone to go on safely.

This requires a lot of sacrifice. At least Su Lin doesn't want to take this responsibility. He just wants to be a transparent good guy and take his family through this journey safely.

As for the others... Let's not talk about whether he can protect everyone, but even if he can, he may have to sacrifice a lot. Apart from anything else, his family will definitely be wronged in the process.

What's the difference between him and his original body to wrong his family for outsiders?

From the beginning, Su Lin only planned to support his fellow villagers on the same road, instead of taking them as his responsibility and forcing himself to bring them to the edge of the imperial city.

He would even deliberately weaken himself so that other people's attention would not always fall on him.

Now that someone wants to stand out, Su Lin is quite happy. If he takes on some things, he can still feel relaxed.

More importantly, Gui Xingwang may have some small thoughts.

But he is not completely black-hearted. After all, he still has some bottom line and conscience. Besides, Gui Xingwang can help others a little bit. In this case, what's wrong with him taking some benefits?

You can't let a donkey pull a mill without giving it grass to eat, right?

No matter what the reason, when they returned to the crowd carrying a piglet, no one could sleep.

Even in the dark, everyone's eyes were particularly bright, and when roasting the pig, you could hear the sound of some people's stomachs growling from time to time.

Including the Su family.

After catching a wild boar, you naturally have to add some other food, right?

Gui Xingwang took the initiative to stand up and share the wild boar with others to eat together, but also asked them to take some other staple food.

Of course, he and the Su family didn't have to pay for catching the wild boar.

Not only did they not have to pay, they could also eat more pork.

As soon as this was said, the others naturally had no objection.

It didn't matter if they had an opinion, because then this person wouldn't have a share of pork, so who would dare to raise an opinion?

They weren't ungrateful people, and they were lucky to eat pork.

It was roasted for a full hour, and even without any seasoning, it smelled particularly fragrant.

After Gui Xingwang distributed the pork to everyone, they took a bite. It was so delicious that they could not say anything and just ate it.

Even some adults who wanted to save some for their children could not help but take a few more bites.

But there were only two bites, and the rest was eaten by the children and the elderly at home.

The same was true for Su Tieniu and Zhou.

The pork was so delicious that it was the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives. However, no matter how delicious it was, they dared not eat too much. After taking two bites, Zhou began to feed Bei Yatou. Su Tieniu also divided the pork in his hand into three parts and stuffed it into the hands of his three sons.

Su Xi was stunned, licking his chin with his tongue, not knowing what to do.

Sunan hurriedly returned it, "Dad, eat it. We have a lot here. If my brother doesn't have enough, I will give it to him. You have to carry a lot of things tomorrow, so you have to eat more."

"I don't like it." Su Tieniu refused subconsciously.

I'm afraid even Bei Yatou wouldn't believe this. Who doesn't like meat?

The father and son pushed each other back and forth, but Su Lin on the side was eating happily, "Dad, second brother, don't fight, we can eat so much pork and be full, we can't save it for later, right? Pork will go bad overnight."

Even a piglet weighs dozens of kilograms.

There are more than 20 people here, and everyone can get a lot. In addition, he caught the pig, so he got a lot more pork than others. It's not a matter of being polite and polite. Although everyone is full, everyone can eat enough with the staple food.

Su Tieniu thought about it and thought that it was the same. It was better to eat it now than to save it overnight and let it go bad.

Sunan saw it and quickly returned the pork that his father had given him.

Susi also moved quickly and followed his second brother to return it. Then he buried his head in the pork, which was so delicious that he couldn't even lift his head.

As for Zhou and Bei Yatou.

How much could a little girl like Bei Yatou eat?

After eating so much, they still had some left.

"Burp."

Sunan burped. This was the first time in his life that he had eaten so much meat that he was full. It would be great if he could eat like this every day.

Unfortunately, this kind of day can only be dreamed of in dreams.

He stretched out his hand to rub his full stomach and couldn't help burping again. He moved his eyes to the side and saw that his eldest brother still had some left in his hand. Without thinking, he said, "Brother, don't you want to eat anymore?"

Su Lin shook his head.

Eating so much meat after being too hungry was a bit disgusting.

But he also knew that if he didn't eat more now, he didn't know when he would be able to eat again in the future. Even if he was tired of eating, he would try his best to make himself full.

He was full, but there was still a palm-sized piece of meat left in his hand. He was really a little full.

"Then give it to me!" Su Nan said immediately.

He was full now, but he didn't want to see his elder brother give the meat to others. Even if he was already full to the throat, he felt that he could still stuff it in.

If only their family was eating meat.

If he was really full to this extent, he would just give it to others.

But everyone around had meat to eat, so why should he save his own meat for others? Even if he was full, he had to eat it himself.

Actually, he didn't look like a very stingy and selfish person.

He had seen his elder brother let him go too many times, and that feeling was very uncomfortable. So now, whenever he saw a little bit of good things, his first thought was to grab it.

Just like this piece of pork, when he got it, he didn't eat it alone, but tore it into strips and gave it to his younger brother and sister.

Now they can't eat anymore. Maybe there will be space to store the meat in a while. It will go bad if left overnight, but it's fine for one or two hours.

More than 20 people had a very comfortable night.

Everyone ate until their stomachs were full, and they no longer felt the acid reflux caused by hunger. Finally, they could sleep well.

Unfortunately, such days are too short.

This time they were lucky enough to catch a piglet, but what about next time?

Didn't someone suggest looking for it in the forest, just in case they could meet a big sow again?

But they couldn't put their hopes on a big sow that might not be found, especially since there were bandits behind them. If they were caught by that group of people, they might not be able to escape.

Finally, the group of people discussed and decided to pay attention to whether there was any movement around them while they were on the road. It would be good if they could meet some edible wild goods, but if they couldn't meet them, there was nothing they could do.

After all, hurrying on the road was the most important thing.

I don’t know if it’s because of the map or their good luck, but after wandering in the woods for two days, they finally saw a trail.

“Finally we got out. I thought we would wander in the woods for more than half a month.”

“Are we on the right path?”

“I don’t know if we can meet the lost people again.”

“Why do we have to keep going forward? I’m getting more and more panicked. We’re the only ones left after walking for such a short time. Can we really reach the edge of the imperial city?” A thin old man spoke up. Four family members stood beside him. They didn’t make any comments on his words. It was obvious that they had discussed it beforehand.

Gui Xingwang immediately saw the retreat on their faces and said quickly: "Why not? The map is in my hand. We can always get there as long as we follow the route on the map."

"What if we can't find it?" The thin old man looked at the others and said: "Gui Xingwang is the only one here who can recognize the map. If we get separated from Gui Xingwang like the others, how can we possibly get to the imperial city?"

"Yes..."

"What should we do then?"

"Why don't we go back? We have only been walking for five or six days. It's not impossible to go back."

The thin old man was waiting for this sentence. If he continued to walk like this, he might even lose his life. It would be better to go back to at least have a place to stay and not die in the wilderness. "Go back. I don't believe that God will force us to death. Maybe after we go back, there will be a heavy rain, and the crops in the field will be saved."

With crops, farmers can have enough food even if they can't become rich. But if they lose their crops and keep wandering, they really don't know what will happen.

As long as it rains, won't they be saved?

It was unknown how long it would take to reach the Imperial City. It might take months. They might as well stay at home and wait for months. It was impossible for it not to rain for months, right?

This statement made some people in the crowd relax.

Gui Xingwang was very anxious.

If these people did not go, he would not be able to go alone.

Even if he wanted to go to the Imperial City, he knew that this road was not something he could walk alone. If the villagers planned to go home, he would have to follow them back in disgrace.

This was definitely not what he wanted to see. "How can we go back after all this? Besides, everyone else is fine. We are just separated. Who knows, we might meet them ahead?"

"That's not necessarily true." The thin old man refuted his words. "They don't have a map. I'm afraid they will all return to the village and wait for us."

The two of them were talking to each other, causing everyone to hesitate.

In fact, this journey is not particularly difficult or thrilling.

Before the worst of it, we even had the most delicious wild boar meal in the woods.

There were people who wanted to go back and people who wanted to move on. There was a stalemate immediately.

Su Lin sighed when he saw it.

When he was in a hurry, he couldn't waste his time on unnecessary arguments. He rushed to the two of them with a look of worry and shouted: "You can't go back, you can't go back. God can give us food." The army doesn’t know how, even after so many days, I don’t know if the city gate has been breached.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

They fought and fought and forgot about the enemy army.

They might be able to get some heavy rains if they wait a few months, but if the enemy breaks through the city gate, wouldn't they risk death if they go back?

"No, no, absolutely can't go back."

"The enemy army is so cruel. If we go back, won't we be cut to pieces by a thousand swords?"

"It's better to get on the road quickly, don't let the enemy catch up."

At this time, everyone except the thin old man and his family preferred to continue on their way, which made the thin old man very dissatisfied.

He really didn't want to leave.

He had heard about the difficulty of escaping from famine in the early years. At that time, he prayed that he would never encounter such a thing in his life. He never imagined that half of his legs were already in the coffin, and he saw that there were not many good days left. But this kind of tragedy happened.

The more I walked these past few days, the more I regretted it.

Thinking that it was still too late to turn back now, he wanted to take a few other villagers and go back together. After all, even if he really wanted to go back, he would not dare to go back with only four people at home. No matter how many other people were accompanying him, he would feel confident.

It was all good at first, but several people were already attracted by it, but because of Su Lin's words, they immediately changed their minds. How could they not be angry?

The thin old man said unhappily: "Then it's possible that the city gate was not breached, and we didn't hear it with our own ears. What if we defeated the enemy? If so, wouldn't our escape have been in vain?"

"Is it true or not? Isn't it simple? There is a small county in front of the map. You can find it by walking for a long time. We just need to go there to find out the news." Su Lin said, "It only takes half a day. If the enemy country really If we don’t call, then let’s go back.”

Gui Xingwang on the side blinked and quickly took a map to look at.

After looking at it for a long time, I actually recognized a small county town in front of me. A look of astonishment appeared on his face. How could Su Lin know?

He just took a few glances by the stream. Could it be possible that he remembered it?

That's not right... Even if he writes it down, he won't be able to understand it!

Those labels were all clearly thought up by himself. Even he had to recognize them for a long time before he recognized them. How could Su Lin understand them?

However, Gui Xingwang breathed a sigh of relief.

Because no one else had any intention of turning back immediately.

As Su Lin said, it only takes most of the day anyway. It is better to spend most of the day to confirm it than to go back and die.

The thin old man was a little unhappy and glared at Su Lin fiercely.

Su Nan happened to see it. He strode to the front of Su Lin and glared at him: "What's your look? If you don't like it, just go back. If you rush to die, are we still going to stop you?" "

"Little bastard, why are you talking to your elders?" The thin old man was very angry.

Su Nan raised her chin and said fearlessly: "Who are you, my elder? Besides, who doesn't know that my eldest brother is a good old man. He has good intentions and thinks about you, but you still glare at him fiercely. You really treat your kindness like a donkey!"

"You!" The thin old man gritted his teeth in anger, "Who made him be so kind?"

"Then just go back. The road is right here, but no one will stop you from going back."

"..." The thin old man was very angry, but he was not angry enough to turn around and go back.

I have the idea of ​​going back, but I am also somewhat afraid that the enemy will break through the city gate.

Even if he didn't like Su Lin's suggestion, he had to admit that he was right.

It's worth spending half a day to confirm.

In the end, they could only follow them angrily, heading towards the small county town ahead.

On the way, Gui Xingwang couldn't hold it back. He walked behind Su Lin and asked softly: "How do you know there is a small county ahead?"

Su Lin turned around and smiled at him, "What do you think?"

"!!" How could Gui Xingwang dare to guess? He looked at Su Lin and wondered if he could really understand the map?

When I was in the village, I only heard that Su Lin was a good man, but I had never heard that he was so smart.

Just when he was worried, Su Lin added: "I heard the salesman mention it before, so I remembered it."

Gui Xingwang slapped his chest.

It was such a close call that he finally calmed down when he mentioned his throat, "Then what else did the salesman mention...did you hear any sounds?"

As he spoke, his face became a little weird.

I looked around and saw no one, but I clearly heard some crying.

Fortunately, it's not the middle of the night. Otherwise, the pitiful cries of some women would appear in the wilderness. How many people would that be infiltrating?

"I heard it too, it was a woman's voice."

"It seems to be over there!" Sunan pointed in a direction. There happened to be a patch of grass over there. Even in the drought, the weeds grew very lush. No one could see what was in the grass except for some crying sounds. people.

For a moment, no one dared to go forward to find out what was going on.

"Should we go or take a look?"

"Let's not go, what if it's another scam?"

"Then let's go... Hey, Chang Hong, why are you going over there? There might be danger in there!"

The one who rushed forward was a woman who looked to be in her thirties.

She didn't look scared at all, but rather a little worried. She said hoarsely, "There's a crying child."

After saying that, the people around her stopped trying to persuade her and protected her as they walked forward.

They were all villagers from the same village, and their village was not big. Who didn't know about other people's affairs?

Chang Hong was also a poor person.

Her mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and she was the only daughter in her life. Fortunately, her family was not a son-in-law family, and they worked hard to find a dowry for her.

Just when Chang Hong was talking about marriage, her parents died in an accident, and she was the only one left in the family.

If this happened in other villages, the house and money would probably be taken away by other uncles. Fortunately, Chang Hong's relatives were neither kind nor evil, and they did not do anything too extreme.

However, the family that was discussing marriage with Chang Hong thought that she had killed her parents, so they regretted the marriage on the grounds that she was too hard-working.

Chang Hong did not force it, and the marriage was left unfinished.

Unexpectedly, two years later, Chang Hong saved a man in the back mountain, took him home for treatment, and stayed at home. Not long after, the man married into Chang Hong's family.

Chang Hong said that the man was the only one in his family, and he had no home to go and could only wander around. Now that the two met, they planned to form a small family and live together.

This was indeed a good marriage at the time.

But who could have thought that the man was so cruel.

Not long after the marriage, Chang Hong became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy ten months later. During that time, everyone could see that Chang Hong was particularly happy.

Think about it, she was originally alone, now she has a man and a child, and the child still has her surname, which can carry on her family line.

But one day, in the middle of the night, they suddenly heard a few miserable screams, which scared many people awake from their sleep.

When they put on their coats and ran over, they saw Chang Hong sitting alone in a pool of blood, holding a child tightly in her arms.

Later, they learned that the man was not homeless, nor did he have a miserable family background as he said. He had a purpose for finding Chang Hong.

No one knew what the purpose was.

Because the man disappeared after killing his own son with his own hands. If Chang Hong hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe that her husband would stab her son in the chest with a dagger.

The man disappeared that night and has never appeared since then.

No one can imagine why the man did this.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but that was his own son.

But no one knew why the man did this, and no one could find out even if they wanted to ask. At that time, the village chief went to the town to report to the authorities, but nothing was found until the famine.

Chang Hong suffered.

Who could bear such a big blow in a row?

After that, Chang Hong was in a daze. Fortunately, her uncle's family cared about her and took her back to take care of her.

Although she was a little dazed, she was not a madman who would hurt others.

It was just that when she encountered a crying child, Chang Hong would have hysteria, and no one could stop her.

Just like this time, when she heard the crying of a child in the bushes, Chang Hong rushed in without thinking. Not long after she came out, she saw a two or three-year-old boy in her arms.

"Whose child is this?" A woman came over and saw that the boy's lips were dry from crying, so she took out a water bag and fed him.

The boy didn't know how long he had been thirsty, and he swallowed several times while holding the water bag.

Immediately afterwards, several people carried out a woman, who was about the same age as Chang Hong. Her legs were soaked in blood, and it was obvious that her legs were injured. She was crying and thanking them.

"Sister, don't cry first, where are your family members?"

Unexpectedly, Liu cried even more miserably when asked, "We met a group of bandits the day before yesterday. Not only did they rob us, but they also injured many people. Baoer and I rolled down the hillside when we were fleeing, and we didn't see them when we woke up."

Her legs were seriously injured, and she couldn't walk even if she wanted to.

At first, she was still carefully hiding from others, fearing that she would encounter bandits again, but without food and water, she and a young child didn't know how long she could hold on. She was filled with grief, and didn't care whether she would be discovered by the bandits, and she hugged the child and cried.

Fortunately, she didn't encounter bandits.

Liu pulled the hand of a woman and begged bitterly: "Aunt, please take me and the child with you. Please have pity on my boy. He can't survive if he is left here."

"This..." Niu hesitated.

If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine. It wouldn't be a burden to anyone if she took him with her. But this woman had a leg injury and she crawled all the way with the child. If she took her with her, wouldn't she have to carry her on her back?

Liu gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't take me with you, you can take the child with you. His father is Zhou Shuigen, and he is from Basu Village. If you can meet him, please give the child to his father. If you can't meet him, you can treat him as an extra servant in the family. He can do any work. Just give him a bite of food."

As she spoke, Liu was already in tears.

She knew that she was sentencing herself to death by saying this. She would never see her son again in this life, but she had to find a way for the child to survive.

If Baozi follows her, he can only wait to die here.

Now they can meet a group of refugees, what if they meet bandits next time?

She has to seize this opportunity, even if she is left behind.

"Mother, mother..." Baozi stretched out his hand, crying with tears and snot all over his face.

Chang Hong hugged him tightly, with a look of pity in his eyes, and said anxiously: "Don't cry, don't cry."

Liu turned her head away, "I'm not your mother, you treat her as your mother, she can take you away and give you a bite of food to eat, you must be filial to her when you grow up."

"Mother? I'm his mother?" A glimmer of light gradually appeared in Chang Hong's eyes, she is the child's mother!

"Chang Hong, don't be confused!" Niu Pozi was anxious, who among the people present didn't sympathize with the mother and son? But now taking them with her, it would be herself and her family who would be tired.

If something goes wrong, it would also be herself and her family.

Before setting off, every family told their families not to be soft-hearted along the way. The most people they met on the road to escape famine were poor people, how could they help them? Besides, they are all people who have set out to escape famine, aren't they also very pitiful?

How can a pitiful person help a pitiful person? He still has to take care of himself first.

Chang Hong walked in front of Liu and looked down at her: "You want me to be his mother?"

Liu bit her lips tightly, and a trace of blood could be seen. She nodded without hesitation, "From now on, Baozi is your son."

"Okay, I'll be his mother." Chang Hong's eyes showed a strange look.

She tied Baozi to her chest, and then carried Liu on the ground on her back. The whole person was bent a little, but she did not give up, but walked forward.

Liu, who was carried up, was stunned, and then covered her face and cried bitterly, "Thank you, thank you..."

She really thought that the other party would abandon her, and thought that she would die here and never see her son again. She never thought that this woman with a body shape similar to her would take her away with her.

"Mother, mother!" Baozi, who was hanging in front, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed his mother's hair.

The hair he held in his hand included Liu's and Chang Hong's dry hair.

"Baozi, you must remember that your life was given by her!" Liu said heavily. It was she who gave birth to Baozi, but it was also Chang Hong who gave Baozi the life to continue living.

Niu Pozi chased up and persuaded: "Chang Hong, you are confused, even if, even if..."

Even if you want the child, don't let the child's mother take it. How long can you walk like this?

"Aunt." Chang Hong turned her head and looked at her with determination in her eyes, "The child can't be without the mother."

The mother can't be without the child either.

She and the child have no fate, and she can't watch other mothers and children separate.

Niu Pozi wanted to persuade her again, but looking at her expression, she knew that this niece was a stubborn person. In the end, she could only sigh and take the bag on her body.

In this scene, some people think that Chang Hong is kind-hearted.

Some people try to understand her, after all, she has encountered such a tragic thing.

Continuing on the road, Su Nan held back and couldn't help asking, "Brother, why didn't you go forward just now?"

Others were watching the mother and son from the side. He was staring at his brother, fearing that his brother would be kind enough to take the people with him.

Who would have thought that his brother would stand there without moving.

It was really strange.

Su Lin glanced at him, "Isn't there a good person here?"

Su Nan thought about it and it was true. With Aunt Chang Hong stepping forward, it seemed that his brother would have nothing to do.

Su Lin reached out and touched his chin, "But it's not a good thing for them to be like this. I have to think of a way to help them."

Su Nan's eyes widened, "How are you going to help?"

"Let's try to make a cart in the evening." Su Lin said.

It's really impossible to help carry all the way. Not to mention that he has so many bags in his hands, if he really has to carry a person weighing dozens of kilograms on his back on the road, he will be useless soon.

But if he can find time to make a trailer, it's not impossible to do his best.

He walked forward for more than an hour.

They encountered bandits again.

However, this time was different from the last time. They did not meet face to face, but heard the sound of fighting in front of them at a higher place. When they looked out, they saw a scene that surprised them.

It was still the same group of bandits.

Even though they had only seen them from a distance a few times, Gui Xingwang and others still recognized those people.

Moreover, they also saw their lost luggage in the hands of these bandits.

But they were not surprised by this.

These bandits were not repeating the same trick to deceive other refugees, but were being beaten to a pulp by someone!

That's right, they were being beaten to a pulp by a woman who looked like she had just reached adulthood!

The woman was holding a long stick in her hand, and she swung it twice, knocking a strong man to the ground. There was also a thin man who wanted to run away, but she picked up a stone and threw it, and the thin man was hit and fell forward.

In just a few glances, more than a dozen bandits were beaten to tears, and finally all the luggage was left behind and they ran away.

"Awesome!"

"Does she know Kung Fu?"

"Is this a female knight?"

The so-called female knight was sitting on the ground, digging out a piece of dry food from a few bags. I don't know if it was because it was too hard, but she was chewing it hard with a frown.

"The bag on her right is my bag. Can I go and get it back?" Niu Shunan whispered, wanting to go but not daring to.

"She can fight the bandits, so she shouldn't be a bad person, right?"

"But what if? She can even beat the bandits, let alone us."

No one could make up their mind, and finally it was Gui Xingwang who stepped in. This woman was really amazing, and it would be great if she could go with them.

And she looked very friendly, so after thinking about it, they decided to ask.

Not everyone went down the slope, Gui Xingwang only led seven or eight people to that side. Just as they walked a little closer, the woman turned her head and looked at them while chewing dry food.

I don’t know if it was because of choking, but her whole face was wrinkled.

Su Lin looked at her and always felt a little familiar, but he couldn’t figure out why it was familiar.
