Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 21 How does this feel like a dog skin plaster
Last night we were busy for most of the night, and everyone got up late the next day.

In the middle of the second day (around ten o'clock in the morning), everyone opened their eyes in a daze.

The old men and Mrs. Wang got up early, and Jiang Yulai let Jiang Yulai take a nap after they got up.

The people who had just got up stretched their arms and legs, feeling that they were more tired after a night's rest. Some had sore backs, which were more tiring than walking tens of kilometers.

Mrs. Wang helped Mrs. Jiang cook in the open space next to her. When she woke up, she could smell the strong aroma of rice.

After everyone had dinner together, Jiang Zhiyue took everyone to the place where they fought yesterday, intending to burn the bodies.

Now the weather is hot, and the plague will not be good if the corpses are piled up for a long time.

All the corpses were staggered here and there, and the blood on the ground had dried up, like pieces of reddish-brown cloth covering the ground.

One can imagine the fierce fighting last night.

Enduring the discomfort, they dragged the corpses to one place, found some dry firewood in the nearby woods, put them on, and lit the fire.

After finishing these things, more than an hour passed, and everyone was exhausted and out of breath.

I was not in the mood to eat after seeing so many corpses just now, so I planned to hurry for a while.

Because there were two more carts to be pushed, their pace slowed down again.

Perhaps it was the reason for the delay for so long, but I saw someone coming from behind me before I left for a long time.

The people behind were Jiangjiacun's group. It was already noon, and they originally planned to stop and rest.

But seeing the blood stains on the ground and the traces of blackening after burning, I was afraid that some accident would happen if I stayed there, so I planned to go further and rest.

Suddenly, someone saw the Jiang family's team in front and said loudly: "Do you think that is Jiang Xiucai's family in front?"

The others also looked ahead.

"I think the team is very long. How can Jiang Xiucai's house have so many scooters?" Someone took a glance and denied it.

But everyone still looked forward on tiptoe.

Jiang Hengrong's family and Mrs. Wu's family, who were at the front of the line, could see it most clearly, if it was Jiang Xiucai and who they were.

Mrs. Wu curled her lips and was dissatisfied: "Hey, I thought they were all dead, but they ran forward."

It's no wonder she thought so. Just now, many people thought that the blood on the ground belonged to the Jiang family who left first.

At that time, many people were afraid for a while.

Especially Mr. Jiang Kangde's sons and daughters-in-law and Song Furong's family were lucky not to go with them.

Otherwise, if you meet bad people on the road, and there are so few of them, there must be no good end.

There was nothing wrong with Song Furong's family, they didn't want Song Furong to go with them because of their own safety.

But the sons and daughters-in-law of Mr. Jiang Kangde's family are different.

The night before the Jiang family left, Jiang Zhiyue beat up the three brothers.

The food was not delivered and they were beaten. The few of them hated the Jiang family.

They said they were a family, but they didn't see half of the food they found.

There are also Mrs. Wu and Jiang Zhilan, who can't wait for something to happen to their family!
So when they saw the bloodstains one after another, they automatically substituted all kinds of tragedies of the Jiang family.

In the end, some people said that the person in front of him was Jiang Xiucai's family?

Could it be that how many people escaped after encountering the villain?

But even if they escaped, it would definitely be miserable. Maybe all the food was robbed, and they would not be able to live long without arms and legs.

They have to protect their own food, and the survivors of Jiang Xiucai's family in the province sell miserably for food.

But everyone still couldn't stop their curiosity. They kept stepping on their feet and looked forward with their heads up.

But after seeing clearly, everyone was dumbfounded.

What's going on, what's going on, why does it look like there are two more carts?

Everyone was puzzled, but it didn't affect their ordinary thoughts.

There seems to be a lot of food on these two cars. They are all from the same village, so they should help them no matter what.

They don't want too much, just distribute the two carts of food they have left over to them.

The extra food on the way must have come from wrong sources.

Distributing food to them is considered a good deed, and they are doing good deeds for Jiang Xiucai's family!
The more they thought about it, the more they felt it made sense, and they felt as if they had done a great favor to the Jiang family.

With such a big commotion behind, the Jiang family in front naturally also noticed them.

They didn't forget how Jiang Hengrong drove them out indiscriminately.

Although after what happened last night, they also understand that even if they go out alone, they are not afraid, but it does not mean that they can forget what they have done.

So they didn't even think about stopping and waiting for the people behind to say hello or something.

But their speed was so fast, but the Jiangjia Village people behind them sped up their speed as if they had gone crazy.

After a while, the distance between them was reduced to less than [-] meters.

Jiang Hengrong looked at the Jiang family in front of him, and thought of the place he just passed by, his expression darkened.

He didn't know what was going on in his mind, and after the team got closer, he raised his voice and called them.

"Brother Kang De, Brother Kang Cheng, we met by such a coincidence." Jiang Hengrong asked with a smile on his lips.

The members of the Jiang family felt that it was a fucking day, what a coincidence.

But after all, they didn't do it too ugly. Mr. Jiang stopped and turned around and said, "It's a coincidence."

As soon as Mr. Jiang stopped, the Jiang family's team had to stop too.

It didn't take a moment for the people behind to catch up, and those who were so close seemed to be in a team.

Jiang Hengrong seemed to have forgotten about kicking them out of the team, and came forward to chat with a smile.

"It's great that your family is okay, you don't know, we just passed by that place, there was a lot of blood on the ground, I thought something happened to you, and I felt so guilty, but now I see that you are fine, my heart Just let it go."

As he said that, he reached out and patted Mr. Jiang on the shoulder, looking at him like that, he seemed so guilty.

Mr. Jiang didn't want to talk to them, so he took half a step to the side, and Jiang Hengrong's hand was gone.

Embarrassment and dissatisfaction flashed across Jiang Hengrong's face, and he took his hand back calmly.

He asked a few more questions, but Mr. Jiang and the others calmly blocked them back.

Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Jiang Hengrong suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's already noon, you should also stop and rest for a while, as it happens that everyone in our village is here."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Had he forgotten that he had kicked them out of the ranks?
Jiang Hengrong, a person who has no money and can't afford it early, must have no good intentions for posting it like this.

Jiang Hengrong and his group really couldn't figure out what plan Jiang Hengrong and the others were planning.

But if they post it like this, if they have any ideas, they will definitely show their feet.

Then the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come and the soil will cover it.

But they don't have so much free time to listen to him talking here, and they want to catch up on the road while they are not resting.

Mrs. Jiang's face darkened, and she pulled Mr. Jiang aside.

"We don't rest, if there is nothing to do, we will hurry."

After finishing speaking, without looking at Jiang Hengrong's livid face, he pulled Mr. Jiang back into the team and let everyone go on.

After walking a certain distance, thinking that the people behind could not hear them, the group started to mutter.

Goro and Xiaoliulang walked by Jiang Zhiyue's side, and now they adore Jiang Zhiyue, and they have to ask some weird questions from time to time.

But most of them were about fighting, and asking if there was anything strange in Jiang Zhiyue's 'little treasure chest'.

Xiao Liulang raised his head and asked curiously while walking: "Sister, Grandpa Hengrong didn't remember kicking us out? Why did you talk to my grandfather just now, and he kept talking even if our grandfather didn't want to talk to him."

Jiang Zhiyue bowed her head and said mysteriously, "He might be planning some bad idea, Xiao Liu, don't be fooled by him."

Xiao Liulang also followed Jiang Zhiyue's example and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't worry, Xiao Liu is smart."

The other people were amused by the siblings, and the unhappy atmosphere of being provoked by Jiang Hengrong just now also subsided a little.

Because of Jiang Yulai's arm injury, he was not allowed to drive the ox cart or push the cart.

He walked behind and said: "But it's true, Hengrong has kicked us out, according to his face-saving temperament, why would he pull his face and take the initiative to talk to us?"

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she rolled her eyes at him and gave him a look like a fool.

"What else could it be? If it wasn't for our family's idea, I wouldn't believe he was so enthusiastic."

The others nodded in agreement, and felt that this was the case.

But when he turned around, those people from Jiangjia Village were still following him not far or near.

Jiang Zhiyue frowned, just now Jiang Hengrong asked Grandpa if he wanted to stop and rest, then it should be time for them to rest.

But the team didn't rest and didn't even hear anyone making noise in the team.

If they can't figure it out, they don't think about it, and they walk at a normal speed, regardless of the people behind.

At this time, the team in Jiangjia Village was also mumbling and talking in a low voice.

Their conversation, however, was decidedly less friendly.

Just now when Hengrong came up to talk to everyone, everyone was watching. They thought they could stop and rest together, and took the opportunity to force Jiang's family to distribute food to the big guys.

As a result, those members of the Jiang family were so shameless that they left directly.

So everyone had no choice but to continue walking bitterly, padded two mouthfuls of dry food on the road, even though they could hardly lift their feet, they didn't dare to stop.

Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes, feeling that she had a good idea, so she hurriedly walked two steps to Jiang Hengrong's side and said her idea.

"Huzi, why don't you just go and tell them to let them go back to the team, they must be grateful and give us the food."

Mrs. Wu was very proud, and felt that she had come up with a good idea, and when the time came to distribute the food, she had to give her a little more.

Thinking of this, she spoke out her thoughts as soon as she was happy.

"I have a good idea for you. When you get the food, you have to give more to my family."

Jiang Hengrong is now angry when he sees her talking. I don't know how many things have happened to Mrs. Wu in the team these two days.

As soon as something happened, he mentioned his name and said that he would drive people out of the team, which made everyone complain and didn't think well of him.

He also warned her, but this man is shameless, and it's useless to say anything.

So now when Jiang Hengrong sees her, he seems to stay away.

But Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law was unwilling after hearing Mrs. Wu's words.

If her man asked for food from Jiang Xiucai's family, it would be due to her family's great contribution, so why give them more food.

The two of them said something wrong in a few words, and they quarreled over and over again.

"To shut up!"

Jiang Hengrong's ears hurt from the noise, so he turned his head and glared at them.

His eyes were really not friendly, and the two of them didn't dare to quarrel any more, and followed along obediently.

But the two of them didn't talk, but they couldn't stop others from discussing.

Someone felt that asking for food was still unreliable, and said, "No matter how the food came, it is in the hands of Jiang Xiucai's family. If we give it to them, can their family give it?"

"And you forgot, when someone went to ask for food, hey, that girl just took a knife and put it on someone's neck, scaring him to death."

Everyone was not too sure. It had been so many days, if no one mentioned it, I would almost forget it.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou pulled Jiang Zhilan and squeezed over, just in time to hear everyone talking about it.

When she heard it, did she dare not ask for food?
Well, her family had already confiscated grain, and the Jiang family didn't sell it to them when they sold it.

Although the two hundred jin from Chen Zhicai was a lot more than other people in the village, but this little grain is not enough for fleeing the famine.

She said, "Why don't you give it? Jiang Xiucai's family is the most benevolent. Seeing that we have no food to eat, we must be soft-hearted."

"If we give in, the food will become ours."

Jiang Zhilan also said from the side: "What my mother said is, think about it, aunts, the Jiang family sold that bit of grain to you back then, and we walked for so many days to get out of the boundaries of our county. Not sure how many days it will take, how can we do without some food."

Jiang Zhilan Balabala talked a lot, seeing the faces of the women getting more and more serious, she was secretly happy.

She went on to say: "Aunts, don't think about anything else, there are more than two hundred of us, I'm sorry they don't dare to do it again."

"Besides, it's a burden for them to carry the food if they can't finish it. Giving us the food can be considered as a burden for them."

The more everyone listened, the more they felt that this was the case, and soon they were shaken in their minds, and were persuaded by Jiang Zhilan's rhetoric.

This time, I don't feel tired from walking continuously, but I feel full of energy, as if I was waving to them in front of me.

The women laughed like flowers, and praised Jiang Zhilan as they walked: "Oh, you're the one with the brightest mind. If anyone dares to speak of you in the future, my aunt will have to refuse him."

Jiang Zhilan smiled shyly, but her heart blossomed with joy.

Hmph, even if she leaves the team, she won't make things easier for Jiang Zhiyue and the others.

For ruining her reputation, she will definitely make them pay!

……

The Jiang family walking ahead had no idea of ​​their plans.

I don't know that in the eyes of the people of Jiangjia Village, their food has become their pocket.

I simply didn't encounter anything on the way this afternoon, and even if I met people, they were very few, and there was no threat at all.

Because they didn't eat anything at noon, they planned to stop early in the evening.

After the sun went down a bit, the Jiang family found a flat place to stop.

The people behind saw that the Jiang family finally stopped, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally stopped. After walking under the sun for a day, I was already too tired.

Jiang Hengrong found a place not too far from Jiang's house and stopped, and the others also found their own places.

But they all wanted to be closer to the Jiang family, for fear that they would be forgotten when the food was distributed.

Although the Jiang family was not very happy, this road did not belong to their family, so they could only walk a few steps forward to stay away from them.

Sun glanced back, and muttered unhappily: "Why does this feel like a dog's skin plaster?"

Isn't it just a dog's skin plaster? They looked like they were going to rest at noon, but they followed them all the time.
