Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 25
"Hey, I met a few hard stubbles today!" The robbers laughed, and looked at the Jiang family with a knife in their eyes contemptuously.

"It just so happened that the newly joined brothers didn't have any weapons in their hands, so I snatched the weapons they killed and handed them back to the boss."

After speaking, he looked greedily at the cart full of grain behind Jiang's family, and the people of Jiang's village behind.

Jiang Hengrong looked quite calm, there were only eight of these people.

That girl from the Jiang family can subdue more than a dozen of them by herself, so it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with these eight people now.

"Go, tie them up." The leading robber kicked the younger brother beside him and said.

The little brother who was kicked was not annoyed, he smiled and walked forward holding the rope, not feeling that they really dared to resist.

As a result, the little brother who rushed over excitedly was thrown over his shoulder by Da Lang before his hand touched the ground.

"Ah! My arm!"

The other robbers quickly picked up their knives and looked at the Jiang family defensively.

The leader looked at Jiang Dalang who had just made a move with an unfriendly expression, and threatened: "Hand over my brother, or I will break your hand in a while!"

Jiang Dalang snorted coldly and said mockingly, "Since I want it, I'll give it back to you."

bang~
The person who was stepped on by Jiang Dalang just now was kicked out, just hitting the leader who just screamed.

Both of them grinned from being smashed, and the angry one who was crushed below kicked the person above him.

"You idiot, don't hurry up!"

The man quickly got up from him.

"Give it to me, all the men will be killed, and the food and women will be brought back."

After all, he took the lead and rushed up.

In the end, before Jiang Zhiyue could make a move, Jiang Dalang and the others dealt with them in two or three hits.

Jiang Zhiyue knew the truth of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, so she asked Jiang Dalang to kill them all.

They haven't been doing evil here for a while, and there must be a lot of people who have harmed them, and they are not worthy of forgiveness at all.

The Jiang family cleaned up the robbers, and the people who came to ask for help just now and the panic-stricken Jiang family village behind them let out a long sigh of relief.

But none of them noticed that a person with unfriendly eyes flashed by not far away, and quickly ran to the distance.

Those people walked up to the Jiang family to thank them.

"Thank you for saving our lives just now, thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor."

Someone said: "You should go another way, there are many robbers ahead."

After the few people finished speaking, they said goodbye and found a small path to leave.

Leaving the Jiang family in place hesitated.

If you want to go to the mountain ahead to find something, you have to keep going, or go around to the mountain from here, and then climb over the mountain.

There was not much water in their hands, so Jiang Zhiyue chose the way up the mountain from here without hesitation.

Jiang Yuchao took out the topographic map and looked at it, and said, "Let's go up the mountain from the corner in front and see if we can go around."

"Be careful and you won't encounter those robbers."

The others raised their feet and followed without objection.

However, they hadn't taken a few steps before they were stopped by the people from Jiangjia Village behind.

"Hey, hey, where are you going? Didn't you hear that person just said that there are robbers in front?"

The one who stopped him was Jiang Hengrong's wife. The old lady had a pair of triangular eyes, and her skin was loose due to old age, so she looked very difficult to get along with.

"I don't have eyes, of course I'm going to move on." Mrs. Jiang pulled her aside with one hand.

Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law stood in the middle of the road again: "No, I can't go, what should I do if I go that way and meet robbers?"

The faces of the Jiang family were all a little strange. What's wrong with this woman?
When did the relationship between the two of them get so good that they even came to take the initiative to care about them.

Mrs. Jiang said: "Even if we encounter robbers, it's our business, so don't worry about it. Since you are afraid, just follow those people and take the path."

Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law staggered when she was pushed, she patted her thigh angrily and said, "That's impossible, the whole family belongs to a white-eyed wolf, and I don't appreciate it when I tell you kindly."

Mrs. Jiang curled her lips. She didn't believe that the old godly woman would be so kind.

"Why don't you pretend to be a good person? You have been a neighbor for decades. Who would believe that you have such a kind heart? Get out of the way quickly, and don't delay our walk."

Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law didn't recognize her when she heard it. She stopped in the middle of the road and shouted: "No, you have to follow us on the path, otherwise what will happen to you if you encounter robbers again!"

In the past few days, the Jiang family and his party have seen enough of the shamelessness of some people, but they can still shock them every time.

The old lady Jiang greeted her with a slap, and Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law hurried back to the queue in fright.

"Heh, let me tell you, you old lady, how could you be so kind? You actually treat us as free bodyguards!"

Mrs. Jiang gave a piss back and beckoned her family to continue on their way.

Jiang Hengrong glared at the returning mother-in-law, and told her not to mess with the Jiang family, but she didn't have a long memory.

He quickly put on a smiling face and walked a few steps to catch up with the Jiang family.

"Brother Kang Cheng, my mother-in-law can't speak, so I apologize to you on her behalf."

"However, the few people who escaped just now said that there are robbers in front of them. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go forward. Why don't we turn back and take that path together?"

Although he couldn't understand Jiang Hengrong's usual behavior, the Jiang family didn't embarrass him too much.

"I'm running out of water, go to the mountains to try my luck."

Jiang Hengrong's eyes lit up, they didn't have much water.

The Jiang family is so powerful, it shouldn't matter even if they go forward, maybe they can hide behind the Jiang family and pass smoothly.

He quickly calculated the pros and cons in his heart, and said kindly: "The water people in the village don't bring much, how about we go find water together?"

Mr. Jiang looked at him inexplicably, and said, "We are no longer together. You don't need to ask our opinion which way you want to go."

Jiang Hengrong's smiling face froze, and he returned to the queue after saying a few words.

After walking a short distance, I saw a winding path.

The road is fairly flat, and you can go up with an ox cart, otherwise some people will be left to watch.

Looking around is still a large piece of bare land.

However, there are no dry cracks on the ground, which is much better than theirs.

After searching for a while, I still found nothing, not even a shadow of water.

Wang Fengshou was a little downcast, he couldn't find water yet.

Jiang Zhiyue looked around, and noticed that the people from Jiangjia Village who had been following behind them frowned.

There is water in her space, but with Uncle Wang and the others and the people from Jiangjia Village following her all the time, there is no chance to take it out.

It seems that there is a way to pay them off.

Jiang Zhiyue walked up to her father and reminded her, "It's too slow for a large group of us to search together. Dad will discuss with Li Zheng that we should search separately."

After speaking, she winked at him playfully.

Seeing her daughter's small expression, Jiang Yuchao instantly understood what she meant, and was also a little pleasantly surprised.

He asked in a low voice, "Is there water in it?"

The inside he was talking about naturally referred to Jiang Zhiyue's 'little treasure chest'.

Jiang Zhiyue nodded to him, urging Jiang Yu, who was stunned by the surprise from the sky, to speak quickly.

Jiang Yuchao also immediately came back to his senses, realizing that it was inconvenient for the daughter to take it out, and wanted him to distract the others.

He walked briskly to the back of the team and found Jiang Hengrong.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Hengrong asked with a smile, "Jiang Xiucai, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. There are so many of us. If we all go in one direction, it will not only waste time, but also easily slow down our journey."

"If you are willing to find water with us, then send a few people from each family to find water."

"Of course, if you want to find water by yourself, you can waste your time if you always follow us, so go find it elsewhere."

Jiang Hengrong was taken aback when he heard that, what Jiang Yuchao meant was simply to follow them and follow his way, otherwise they would not give it to Jiangjia Villagers if they found water first.

It has to be said that Jiang Hengrong has revealed the truth.

Before Jiang Yuchao came to find Jiang Hengrong, he had already thought about it. Before they got out of the severely drought-stricken area, they should not be able to find water.

But since his niece said that there is water, she must be able to find it.

In the past, he must have thought that if a village could help, he would help, but after seeing too many shameless behaviors along the way, Jiang Yuchao decisively changed his view.

He is not willing to follow them and get something for nothing.

Jiang Hengrong also felt that it made sense, so he agreed with Jiang Yuchao's opinion.

Anyway, he was going to follow the Jiang family. They are so powerful, it's a good thing not to take advantage of them.

There were also people in the Jiang family who were watching in place, and he was not afraid of them sneaking away.

Soon, Jiang Hengrong selected people to form seven teams, plus the Jiang family's team, a total of eight teams searched in different directions.

On the Jiang family's side, only Jiang Zhiyue, the three Jiang family brothers, and Dalang Erlang went to find water together, and the others stayed where they were and guarded things.

Of course, Chen Zhicai and Chen Xiaoxia were also following them.

They chose a direction at random and set off.

But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the water source. Chen Xiaoxia complained, but no one paid any attention to her.

But after a while, she walked to Jiang Dalang's side and began to chatter.

"Brother Jiang, why don't you tell Grandpa Hengrong to go back to the team, otherwise it's too dangerous."

"no need!"

"Your family has sold so much food, is it still enough to eat? If not, we can lend it to you."

"Thank you, but no need!"

"..."

"..."

Chen Xiaoxia chatted with Jiang Dalang all the while looking for something to say, but Jiang Dalang replied indifferently, without even giving her a look.

He was looking around hard at the moment, constantly looking for a suitable place for his sister to bring out the water.

Just before the departure, my sister talked to them, asking them to distract the Chen brothers and sisters and find a suitable place to release the water.

After all, water is not food, just put it on the ground.

Jiang Dalang felt that the chattering woman beside him was getting bored to death, and he didn't see that everyone was 'looking for water'.

But Chen Xiaoxia didn't think so. Hearing that Jiang Dalang answered every sentence, she was so happy that she couldn't find Bei.

She pinned the broken hair that had fallen from her ears behind her ears, and looked at Jiang Dalang with bright eyes.

It was because her gaze was so hot that Jiang Dalang, who was looking around, could no longer ignore it, and couldn't help looking sideways.

Seeing Chen Xiaoxia's bewildering behavior, Jiang Dalang kindly reminded: "Well, don't always touch your oily hair with your hands, or it will get oilier. Also, are your eyes cramping?"

When Jiang Dalang said that, not only Chen Xiaoxia was stunned, but even Jiang Zhiyue couldn't hold back a chuckle.

Her eldest brother is too puzzled, the girl looked at you so "affectionately", and even said that his eyes were cramped.

Chen Xiaoxia is obviously interested in her elder brother, but her elder brother obviously has no such intentions.

But thinking about Chen Zhicai's identity and how he did some things in the later period, Jiang Zhiyue felt that it was good not to have anything to do with them...

And looking at Chen Xiaoxia's blushing face, if it wasn't covered by the dust, she would probably be even redder, it must not be because she was tired this time.

But the oily hair is true, Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help touching her hair when her elder brother said it.

As soon as he touched Jiang Zhiyue, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Hmm...it's very oily.

But now everyone even saves water for eating, and there is no water for scrubbing at all.

Hearing Jiang Zhiyue's uncontrollable laughter, Chen Xiaoxia stomped her feet in anger and returned to Chen Zhicai's side.

Chen Zhicai had also been looking at Jiang Zhiyue in a daze just now, feeling that she was different from what she remembered.

Thinking of the pregnant Jiang Zhilan, Chen Zhicai frowned.

It would be great if that person was replaced by Jiang Zhiyue.

They continued to walk forward for a while, but they still couldn't find a suitable place.

Jiang Zhiyue said: "It's too slow for us to search like this, why don't we search separately, maybe we can find them faster."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Dalang again, snickered a little maliciously and said, "Then father and elder brother should stay with brother and sister Chen Xiucai."

In order to support the two brothers and sisters of the Chen family, the eldest brother had to sacrifice a bit.

Soon the eight of them also separated, Jiang Zhiyue, Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Yulai and Jiang Erlang continued to move forward.

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, and the four of them quickly found a cave, and they entered after confirming that there was no danger in the cave.

This should be a naturally formed cave. The cave is not small, and you can walk more than ten meters into it.

There was nothing inside, but when Jiang Zhiyue went deep, he found a big pit with a small hole in it.

Jiang Zhiyue guessed that there used to be a spring here, but now there is no water because of the severe drought.

She stepped forward to touch it, and found that the naturally formed small pit was very smooth, even if water was poured into it, it would not soak into the ground so quickly.

The few people who came in behind were also a little surprised.

"Can this pit be used?" Jiang Erlang asked excitedly.

"Okay, after I put the water in, you can call someone over." Jiang Zhiyue said in a good mood.

After cleaning up the pit a bit, Jiang Zhiyue took out a bucket of water from the space and asked them to pour it in together.

Several people were very surprised to hold the plastic bucket, and asked Jiang Zhiyue what it was made of.

At this time, there were no plastic products, so Jiang Zhiyue could only say that it was something from the old god.

The few people didn't ask any more questions, they just looked at it curiously for a long time.
