Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 35 Only Erya Can Read Pictures

Jiang Erya looked in the direction where Lizheng was. The 15-year-old escort was pushed to the ground and beaten violently by the 500-year-old strong men of Xinglin Village.

The bodyguard cried and begged for mercy.

Li Zheng waited and waited before he stopped the strong men: "Okay, it's almost done." The bodyguard was almost dying.

The brawny men stopped their hands indignantly, Lizheng gritted his teeth and asked the bodyguard: "Didn't you say you have been to Dongchang County?"

The bodyguard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and replied: "I really went there once, last year, with my father..."

His father was beaten to death by bandits when he was guarding his bodyguard last month, and when he was dying, he passed a simple road map to him...

The "simple route map" that the bodyguard's father said was not simple in the eyes of the bodyguard. On the contrary, he felt that it was very complicated, and he couldn't understand it no matter how he looked.I can only guide the people of Xinglin Village from memory.

Unexpectedly, after a year, his memory was also confused.Therefore, he took the wrong road and brought everyone to Xichang County.

As he said that, the bodyguard took out the road map his father had passed him from his pocket.

Lizheng took the road map and was dumbfounded after flipping through a few pages.

What the hell is this pile of dense circles and forks?

Li was putting the road map into his arms, telling the bodyguard to get out before he changed his mind.

The escort got up from the ground, looked at Li Zheng, and said aggrievedly: "The picture my father gave me..."

Li Zheng glared: "Take this picture as the one we bought, and we won't ask you for the 15 taels of silver that we paid to the bodyguard bureau." Clothes, nothing.

The escort said again and again: "Then...the food and water I gave to the father and daughter..."

Lizheng's eldest son roared: "What beautiful things are you thinking of? People in our village gathered it together, and it will be returned to each family later."

The bodyguard flinched, and limped away, Li Zheng looked at his too young back, and rolled his eyes at his damn kindness.

Then, he said to his eldest son: "Go to our ox cart and get him a pot of water. He won't die if he doesn't eat for a day or two. If there is no water in hot weather, he won't be able to go back to Qingjiang County."

Li Zheng's eldest son called out: "Father!"

The water stored in their home seems to be a lot, but the population of their home is also large.

From here to Dongchang County, they still have at least eleven or two days to go. This is still a smooth situation. If they go the wrong way like today, they don't know how many days it will take.

If there is no water source in the middle, they will also lack water and die of thirst.

When every drop of water is very precious, Li Zheng's eldest son is unwilling to give that pot of water to the bodyguard.

Li Zheng couldn't call the elder son, so he turned to call the younger son.

Lizheng's youngest son nodded, returned to the ox cart, took a pot of water and handed it to the bodyguard. After returning, he sighed helplessly: "I hope that good people will be rewarded, and I hope we can reach Dongchang County smoothly."

Li was returning to the villagers with the road map in his arms and explained the matter. After hearing this, everyone wailed continuously.

"We followed that idiot to the west for so long, and consumed so much food and water in vain, but we are farther away from Dongchang County."

"For 15 taels of silver, I bought a road map that the bodyguards themselves couldn't understand. It's a big loss!"

"What should we do now?"

Li was stroking "Gu Gu"'s stomach, sighed, and said, "Find a leeward corner first, let's light a fire and cook. If you have nothing to do, come with me. Let's study it together. This book will cost us a lot." How should we look at the road map for 15 taels of silver?"

Everyone got busy as Li was saying.

There was a large group of people who didn't need to cook, including Jiang Erniu, old Jiangtou and Jiang old lady, and their precious lump Jiang Dongliang.

At this time, Jiang Dongliang and Li were sitting side by side, carefully studying the road map in his hand.

Everyone asked nervously: "How is it, do you understand?"

Jiang Dongliang is not good at reading, but he is really good at painting.Everyone knows this.

The things he paints are lifelike, especially the people whose eyes are as alive as they are.

When Mrs. Jiang was going to sell Erya, he painted the portrait of Erya that she showed to the old bustard in Yichun Courtyard.

Everyone feels that the painting is drawn, and this road map is also drawn.Jiang Dongliang, who knows how to draw, will definitely understand the road map.

But Jiang Dongliang looked at it again and again: "Uh... I can't understand this ghost-like thing."

Everyone was extremely disappointed.

But Li Zheng said: "Look a little more, you might be able to understand it. Others don't be idle, think about it with your brains, if I ask you to draw the road you have traveled, you will be able to understand it." How to draw."

Everyone scratched their heads, how would they paint if they were themselves?No one has ever drawn...

Jiang Erya cooked her lunch in the pot, walked to where Lizheng was, called Jiang Erniu back to watch the fire, then stretched out her hand to Jiang Dongliang, and said, "Show me the picture."

Jiang Dongliang looked up and saw that it was Jiang Erya, and said, "Don't make trouble, Erya, go back and cook."

Jiang Dongliang's tone was okay, but the old lady Jiang beside him had raised eyebrows.

"The pillars of my family can't understand, what can you see in the film, you little girl? Get out of here!"

Old Jiangtou echoed: "That's right, you can neither read nor draw, showing you the picture, isn't this a waste of time. Go, go, go away!"

Jiang Erya started directly, and a group of people rushed to protect the road map, and reached out to pat Jiang Erya's hand, "Don't snatch it, be careful to tear the map. 15 taels of silver, we can go to Dongchang County, all will be determined." Count on it."

Jiang Erya avoided everyone's clapping hands, and said to Lizheng seriously: "Trust me, I understand." Because I was concerned.

The system has already explained to Jiang Erya how his father drew the road map.

Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, took the road map from Jiang Dongliang, and solemnly handed it to Jiang Erya.

"If Er Ya really understands, the whole village will be saved."

Everyone stopped objecting.

Jiang Erya directly flipped out a page of the map and said, "This is the road we just walked, the road from Qingjiang County to Xichang County City."

The bodyguard's father has very little literacy, and there are almost no words on the picture. On the header of the picture on this page, there is a section of water flow and an arrow pointing to a box with the word "West".

This painting method is indeed simple, but if the person who draws it doesn't say it, the person who sees it can only be confused.

If there is no systematic explanation, Jiang Erya will definitely not understand.

Jiang Erya pointed to the smallest circle on the picture and said, "This is a well. There are three wells on the side of this road. We came across one yesterday afternoon and two this morning."

When they encountered a well, everyone lay down on the edge of the well to see if there was any water in the well.Therefore, they all remember the three wells.When Jiang Erya said that, they immediately nodded.

"Yes, yes, this is the well..."
