Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 26 Investigating the situation
Jiang Yulai and Jiang Erlang went out to call for someone to come over. Their little niece/sister brought out so much water, and they are not cold-blooded people, so they will naturally keep their promise and let people from Jiangjia Village also come to fill the water.

However, Jiang Yulai repeated what Mrs. Jiang said several times before they left.

That is to keep some water in her little treasure box, so as not to run out of water in the following days.

Jiang Zhiyue had no choice but to tell them that there were still a lot of buckets of water in it, enough for them to use for a long time.

Not long after going out, I saw Jiang Yu facing the four of them.

Jiang Dalang was the first to notice Jiang Yulai and Erlang, and he stepped forward expectantly and asked, "Have you found the place yet?"

Seeing that only his third uncle and second younger brother came over, Jiang Dalang already had a vague guess in his heart.

Jiang Erlang said happily: "I found it. We were planning to go back and call for help, so we met you."

"That's great, let's go back and call someone." Jiang Dalang said, he picked up Jiang Erlang and walked in the direction he came from.

Chen Xiaoxia remembered what Jiang Dalang said just now about her oily hair, and she just wanted to wash it quickly.

But she was worried that she would not be able to use it after everyone came, so she wanted to go now.

She asked, "Brother Jiang, where are sister Zhiyue and the others? Why don't you go back and find someone? I'll go find sister Zhiyue first."

Because Chen Xiaoxia asked about Jiang Dalang, but he was with them all the time just now, how could he know where her sister and second uncle were, so she had to ask Erlang.

Jiang Erlang pointed in one direction: "Go straight ahead, and you will see a cave not far away, and they are in the cave."

Chen Zhicai didn't go with him, after all, he found the water source and had to go back to get the utensils used to hold the water.

Jiang Yuchao and the others thought the same way, so they all went back.

When they went back, they found that more than half of the people who went out to find water had returned.

Seeing that they all looked downcast, they didn't find any water.

Jiang Dalang suddenly felt very grateful that his sister was favored by the old god and gave him a treasure box that could change things.

And it's what they need every time. What grandma said must be true. When my sister was born, the magpies came to announce the good news. She is a blessed one.

When everyone saw them coming back, they all looked at them.

The people who just came back couldn't find any water. They had already failed in their expectations again and again, and they were afraid of hearing the same answer again.

Only the Jiang family knew that since they came back, they must have found a place.

But he still stepped forward and asked, "Did you find the water?"

"I found it, but the road over there is a bit steep, and it's not convenient to pull a car across. Everyone, take your things and follow us to fill the water." Jiang Dalang finished his sentence in one breath.

"Hey, okay, okay, big brother, everyone, you all go, and we just watch here." Mrs. Jiang said cheerfully.

In the end, even the smaller Goro Liulang went with him.

People from every household went out to fill the water, and only a small number of people stayed to watch things in place.

On the other side of the cave, Jiang Zhiyue thought that she hadn't bathed for so long.

Although it is still unrealistic to take a shower now, you can wash your hair and face, and just wipe your arms again.

It just so happened that there was a small pool the size of a washbasin not far from the big oval pit, so Jiang Zhiyue took out three wooden ladles from the space.

Jiang Yuqing, who stayed behind, saw her niece suddenly conjuring something, and it was no surprise.

After Jiang Zhiyue simply washed her face and hair, she heard footsteps outside.

But the footsteps were very light, and it didn't seem like people from the village were coming.

She looked at the entrance of the cave vigilantly, and after a while, she saw Chen Xiaoxia coming in alone.

Chen Xiaoxia came in and greeted with a smile: "Second Uncle Jiang, Elder Sister Zhiyue."

Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yuqing glanced at Chen Xiaoxia and greeted her.

Chen Xiaoxia walked inside and saw so much water, her eyes lit up.

There is still plenty of food at home, but not much water, and her mother always said to save some water for her little nephew, so she drank even less.

I just talked so much with Big Brother Jiang again, and my mouth is already parched.

So as soon as you see water, you have to grab a handful of water and drink it.

Jiang Zhiyue stopped immediately when she saw it.

I haven't washed my hands for so long, and I don't know how dirty they are, so they will have to fill up the water in a while.

Although I didn't get sick after eating dirty, I didn't pay much attention to the way of fleeing from famine.

But...it was really dirty.

Just now she even disliked herself, but seeing Chen Xiaoxia's black claws about to dip into the water, she couldn't agree.

She handed Chen Xiaoxia a water ladle and asked her to drink from it.

Chen Xiaoxia smiled gratefully and took it, and drank a ladle to fill her stomach.

Chen Xiaoxia sincerely praised: "Sister Zhiyue is so lucky that she found so much water. It seems that there will be no shortage of water for a long time to come."

Jiang Zhiyue could see that she was sincerely praising her instead of pretending to be green tea like Jiang Zhilan, so she was not so repulsive, so she smiled and said a few words modestly.

Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but look at her twice, she didn't expect her brother to be so indifferent, and the girl looks pretty good.

Soon, Chen Xiaoxia and Jiang Yuqing also washed up briefly.

Thinking that Chen Xiaoxia was also coming, Jiang Zhiyue simply asked Jiang Yuqing to guard the entrance of the cave, and the two girls simply scrubbed in the cave.

Jiang Zhiyue felt finally at ease.

On the other side, Jiang Yulai led everyone around for a while, and saw the cave just now.

The cave is very big, so many people can stand down when they come.

Seeing so much water inside, everyone's eyes burst into surprise.

When they first arrived, they didn't expect to have so much water, and they wanted to grab as much water as possible.

Seeing so much water now, even if you don't grab it, the containers brought by every family can be filled to the brim.

Jiang Zhiyue was afraid that they would spoil the water by looting, so she organized them to line up to fill the water with a ladle one by one.

Seeing that there was so much water, they finally had no dispute, and they lined up honestly.

But everyone had smiles on their faces, and those who usually like to take advantage of it and fight for their tongues didn't ask for trouble.

Many people also thanked Jiang Zhiyue and the others, whether it was sincere or bitter, it was rare that they didn't say anything bad.

The Jiang family took it with peace of mind, after all, the water was really thanks to their family.

After fetching water, many people send it down, and then come back to fill the water, fearing that they will not be able to carry it for a while.

After every house filled with water, there was still some water left in it, so Jiang Zhiyue suggested that they take out the water and put it in the small pool just now for a simple scrubbing.

Some people wanted to go directly into that big pit to wash, but Jiang Zhiyue sternly refused.

Although they were a little unconvinced, she was the one who found the water, and they didn't say anything in the end.

After solving the water problem, the Jiang family did not leave in a hurry, but settled down in place.

Jiang Hengrong squinted at the Jiang family and sat down.

Knowing that there were robbers in front of them, they looked like a lot of people, but few of them dared to fight the robbers.

That's why he won't leave Jiang's house now.

And he hasn't given up on the idea of ​​letting Jiang's family return to the team.

The Jiang family not far away is currently discussing the robbers.

"Girl, we also found the water, should we go back and take that path now?" Wang Fengshou asked.

In these days, he has already noticed that his aunt's family will always ask the young girl about big and small matters.

And Zhiyue girl is really powerful, she has ideas in her heart.

Jiang Zhiyue said: "Don't rush to leave, everyone is tired after driving for so long, rest here for a day before leaving."

After finishing speaking, he said in a low voice: "Tonight, I'm going to investigate the situation of those robbers."

"No, it's too dangerous!"

Jiang Zhiyue was rejected by everyone as soon as she finished speaking.

"That's the bandit's den. I don't know how many people are there. You still want to go there at night. What if something happens to you!"

The others agreed again and again, their hands were more or less stained with blood.

But if they were unorganized refugees, even the robbers they met today were only a few.

Those robbers stuck here had done so much evil, and they had a lot of lives on their hands, and everyone thought in their hearts that they could just hide if they didn't match up.

"I'll be careful, I'll check the situation." Jiang Zhiyue said firmly.

Everyone saw that she had made up her mind and knew that she would definitely go. If they disagreed, they might avoid them and sneak away, so they didn't persuade her anymore, but just told her to be careful in everything.

Night is coming.

After all these days, it was rare for everyone to be as comfortable as they are today.

We bought food, found water, and rested for most of the day.

Just thinking of the money spent to buy food, I still can't help feeling distressed.

It is normal to arrange for good people to keep vigil, and the others will go to rest.

It may be because of being on the mountain, the summer heat has also weakened a bit, and it is rare for everyone to sleep peacefully.

They didn't see it. After everyone rested, a figure from the Jiang family left quietly and walked down the mountain.

That person was Jiang Zhiyue, and she planned to investigate the situation now.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Jiang Zhiyue came to the place she passed by in the morning in a short while.

The bodies of those people on the ground have disappeared, and traces of dragging can be vaguely seen on the ground.

Jiang Zhiyue's expression was condensed, and she walked all the way looking for the faint drag marks on the ground.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyue heard voices speaking, which made her suddenly stop and hide carefully.

A voice came: "The brothers who caught someone back today are really lucky. I would have gone out with them if I knew about it."

Another person obviously disagreed with his statement, and retorted: "Lucky? Didn't eight of the brothers who went out today die? I think it's better to guard the gate here. It's safe and someone brings food back to eat."

Jiang Zhiyue listened to their conversation and obtained some information from it. The eight people the man mentioned should be the robbers they encountered.

"Hey, I'm not talking about the eight of them, that group of trash can't even be chased by a few people, and now they will become food for the brothers.

I'm talking about the brothers who blocked people on another trail. They arrested a lot of people today and brought back a lot of food.
