Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 3 What should I do if I'm stupid at such a young age

Jiang Zhiyue carried a basket of loquats not far away on her back and followed Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai down the mountain.

Jiang Yuqing also took a look at the road, thinking that he would go up the mountain later to pick all the loquats and take them to the town to sell together with game tomorrow.

As Jiang Zhiyue was walking, she suddenly heard movement from behind a bush, and she quickly stopped to signal Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai to stop.

"Shh~"

She took a few steps to a bush on the left with light steps, but before she could walk over, two pheasants behind the bush heard movement and flapped their wings to run away.

In desperation, Jiang Zhiyue threw a few loquats out of her hand and hit two pheasants. The pheasants swayed in place and fell to the ground with a bang.

She happily ran over to pick up the wings of the two pheasants, but her heart was jumping for joy, the strength of the original owner was really not enough, so she used a little strength to knock the pheasants unconscious.

If the pheasant could talk, it would definitely sue Jiang Zhiyue: Do you dare to take us to check, you must have a concussion! ! !

But now they can only be dazed by Jiang Zhiyue's wings of fate.

The original body has been different from ordinary people in strength since childhood. When I was young, I played with the little girls in the village and accidentally injured them a few times. After that, no one dared to be with her. That's why I met Jiang Zhilan who was still willing to play with her. .

Jiang Zhilan kept conveying to her, "You are so strong that you are a strange child. No one wants to play with you except me, and I don't dislike you..." If the Jiang family didn't love the original owner so much, she would probably have Become a person with low self-esteem.

Moreover, Jiang Zhilan still killed the original owner in the end, but she is not having a good time now.

Thinking of Jiang Zhilan, Jiang Zhiyue remembered that when she attacked Jiang Zhilan with mental power yesterday, she only lasted for two sentences.

It's really back to before liberation, she should come to the mountain a few more times in the future to exercise her abilities.

After all, her ability is an ability that can sneak attack without anyone noticing.

The three of them returned by the same route, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, they finally returned to Jiang's yard.

As soon as Jiang Yulai entered the yard, he closed the door mysteriously. The people who were busy with other things in the yard asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"

Jiang Yulai explained in a low voice: "The girl dug something good on the mountain, don't let others see it."

When everyone in the Jiang family heard the good news, they immediately surrounded him. Jiang Zhiyue smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Yulai and said, "Take it out."

Jiang Yulai took out a large piece of things wrapped in a cloth towel from his arms, and when he opened it, everyone in the Jiang family was shocked.

Ginseng!Still three ginseng! !

Jiang Zhiyue explained that it was dug on the mountain with good luck, and was praised by Jiang's family.

"Our girl is lucky. If she hadn't followed up the mountain, you wouldn't have caught so many things." Mrs. Jiang looked at the things brought back by the three of them, and she couldn't see them even though she was already smiling. She insisted on hurting Jiang Yuqing. Meal with the Jiang Yulai brothers.

The two brothers didn't show any dissatisfaction. Usually, Mrs. Jiang likes Jiang Zhiyue. When she praises her, she always hurts the men in the family. They are used to it.

When everyone was curious enough, Mrs. Jiang gave the three ginsengs to Jiang Zhiyue for her to keep.

Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai also went up the mountain to pick loquats with baskets on their backs.

Early the next morning, Jiang Zhiyue got up early to help Mrs. Zhang prepare breakfast.

Although the Jiang family has Jiang Yuchao, who is a wife in the town, and can make a lot of income every month, it can't resist the fact that the Jiang family also has a lot. It is said that half-children eat poor people, so the family is a little tight.

Therefore, meals can only be enough to fill the stomach, and it is impossible to eat as much as you want.

After breakfast, the Jiang family's group who were going to the town left.

Jiang Yuchao, Jiang Dalang, and Jiang Erlang went to the school in the town, while Jiang Zhiyue, Jiang Yuqing, and Jiang Yulai went to the town to sell what they harvested yesterday.

The six people rushed to the town with a part of their belongings each. They walked quickly and arrived in Guzhen in less than half an hour.

Guzhen is in the fiefdom of King Changding, and King Changding is the third son of the emperor. He is thirty years old and was born by a maid in the palace by the emperor's blessing. favored.

However, King Changding has a very good reputation in the fiefdom. For the people, they can trust whichever one can bring them a good life, so King Changding is still supported by the people here.

However, in the [-]rd year of Wuyuan, the most affected place was the fiefdom of King Changding, severe drought, locust plague, earthquake...

Jiang Zhiyue felt a little sad in her heart.

In Gu Town, the sky is dawning, and people are already coming and going in the town.

Jiang Zhiyue took half a basket of loquats and the three ginsengs to the medical shop to sell them, and the rest of them took the prey and the remaining loquats to the restaurant to find sellers.

There was a lot of hawking along the way, and Jiang Zhiyue found that there were many beggars in the corner. She frowned, secretly thinking that this was unusual, how could there be so many beggars in this town.

Jiang Zhiyue found the medical hall, because she had three good-looking ginseng in her hand, and the medicine boy who was watching the hall quickly called the shopkeeper of the medical hall.

The shopkeeper took a look at the ginseng and wanted to lower the price, but Jiang Zhiyue didn't make him happy. After some bargaining, he settled on the big ginseng at [-] taels of silver, and the two smaller ginseng at [-] taels each. The price of fifty taels of silver.

Even the loquat medical center bought it together. The shopkeeper just got three good-quality ginseng and felt happy, so he also gave the loquat a good price of twenty-five yuan per catty.

After the business was negotiated, Yaotong brought the scales and weighed the loquats.

Jiang Zhiyue also took advantage of the time when the drug boy went to collect the silver to inquire about the news from the shopkeeper: "Old man, why do I see that there are so many beggars in our town, is it always like this in the past?"

When the shopkeeper heard Jiang Zhiyue's question, he couldn't help but look out with a trace of sadness: "In the past, there were so many beggars. Isn't it all caused by this natural disaster? It hasn't rained for so long, and people in many places have trouble If we go down, we will be squeezed towards us, but the town is full of recruits and they have no work to do, so they can only beg for a living, hey."

"Thank you, sir, for letting me know." Jiang Zhiyue replied with a frown.

After collecting the money, Jiang Zhiyue quickly went to find Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai.

On the way to find Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai, Jiang Zhiyue used three copper coins to inquire about the situation outside Gu Town from the beggars on the side of the road. The more she heard, the more shocked she became. Why is this so serious now? According to the plot in the book, there shouldn't be about two months left... Could there be a deviation!
It seems that she needs to hurry up and find a way to persuade her family to stockpile food, otherwise the famine will start, and there is no time for them to react.

Jiang Zhiyue found Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai, both of whom had already sold out what they had brought, and each carried an empty pannier.

The two of them also saw Jiang Zhiyue, who looked strange, but seeing that she didn't want to say anything, they didn't ask any more questions.

After the three of them bought some things, they were rushed home by Jiang Zhiyue.

Because they didn't delay too long in the town, when Jiang Zhiyue and the three arrived home, the Jiang family was just about to start making lunch.

Apparently, the people who were busy in the yard didn't expect them to come back so early. When they saw the three of them pushing the door in, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at them expectantly.

"How's the sale?" Mrs. Sun asked expectantly.

Hearing the question, Jiang Yuqing grinned his big white teeth happily, and took out the silver in the cloth bag from his arms, and was about to take it out.

Seeing his stupidity, Mrs. Jiang quickly raised her head to take a look outside, then slapped Jiang Yuqing on the head, and the ninja said angrily: "Don't be stupid, take money out before the door is closed, You don’t know if the money doesn’t leak out.”

Jiang Yuqing hurriedly rubbed her head and hid and smiled apologetically: "Mother, it hurts!"

Jiang Zhiyue also felt that Jiang Yuqing's smile was silly and not stupefied, and her second uncle would look extraordinarily simple and honest when he smiled, but Jiang Yuqing's appearance was fairly upright, so it wasn't ugly.

Jiang Yulai walked behind and closed the door. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun were not in the mood to cook, and wanted to see how much money they had sold, so they walked into the main room.

This time, Jiang Yuqing finally took out the silver from the cloth bag and put it on the table. Looking at it, there were almost twenty taels scattered, and there was another ingot of ten taels lying on the table. Delightfully tight.

Seeing the excitement of her family members, Jiang Zhiyue felt much better. She pretended to take out the silver that had already been put into the space from the basket and put it on the table.

Hey, good guy, the Jiang family just can't move their eyes away.

There are several silver ingots on this table, one, two, three... twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two...! ! !
There were too many silver ingots to count, and there were scattered copper plates on them. Sun couldn't wait to take one, put it in his mouth and bit it, and then laughed.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at their happy faces and explained: "The ginseng was sold for [-] taels in total, the older one was [-] taels of silver, and the two younger ones were [-] taels each. The loquat weighs twenty-nine catties and three taels. The shopkeeper saw that the ginseng I brought was good, and he made up the whole thing, and the price was reasonable, twenty-five yuan per catty, so the total price was [-] yuan. .”

"There are so many!" The Jiang family was shocked. They thought that no matter how expensive it was, it would be as expensive as a hundred taels. Who knew that it would be doubled several times.

Jiang Yulai also pointed to the silver on the table and said: "A silly roe deer, pheasant, hare, and loquat brought by my second brother and I sold for a total of eighteen, two, nine hundred and ninety yuan, but I cut them at the butcher shop just after I came back." Five catties of pork cost one hundred Wen, and the rest is here."

Although the amount of money Jiang Yulai said was not as shocking as what Jiang Zhiyue said, it was enough to make the Jiang family happy.

Although Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai were good at hunting in the mountains, they didn't catch prey every day. At most, they caught a pheasant and a hare to give to their family members or sell them for a few copper coins.

The Jiang family members were all smiling, and the old lady Jiang even took Wulang and Liulang into her arms and said with a smile: "I have dragged our girl's blessing, and now I have earned so much. I will send Sanlang Shiro to the town next year." Go to the school, and when the days are more stable, we Wulang and Liulang will also be sent there, and we will strive to be better than your uncle, and come back from the examination of a master.

The girl is growing up too, although our family wants to keep you for two more years, we still have to make a marriage agreement first, and I will take out two hundred taels of money to keep your dowry, you all have no objections, right? "

After the old lady Jiang finished speaking, she looked around at the people standing in the house. Everyone had different expressions but they didn't have any opinions. They were just shocked that Grandma Jiang took so much as a dowry for Jiang Zhiyue. After all, the girls in the village were married. It is not bad to have two taels of silver by your side.

Both Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang shook their heads to express that they had no objection, and Mrs. Wang was even less likely to have any objection.

Wang even felt that she had really given birth to a baby pimple, and that her family was in pain, so she was lucky.

Mrs. Wang pulled Jiang Zhiyue in front of her, smiled happily and said, "Thank you grandma."

Jiang Zhiyue originally wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Jiang seemed to have anticipated what she was going to say, and quickly pulled twenty silver ingots from the table and said, "Don't push it, just take it if I give it to you. .”

Jiang Zhiyue didn't shirk any more, and planned to put the silver in the space later, it would be safer to keep it on her body, as long as she treats them better in the future.

I have to say that Mrs. Jiang treats the children well, and Jiang Zhiyue agrees very much with using knowledge to change the family.

But thinking of what was about to happen, Jiang Zhiyue fell silent again...

Xiao Wang was the first to notice Jiang Zhiyue's emotional changes, and she asked worriedly, "Yue girl, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Zhiyue only struggled for a moment before planning to tell her family what was about to happen. It was better to plan as soon as possible for the things she would have to face sooner or later.

But she still found an excuse in her heart. In order to make everyone trust what she said, Jiang Zhiyue put on a worried look and said: "I had a dream when I fell into a coma two days ago."

Everyone looked over, as if they were asking what dream they had?

"I dreamed of an old man who told me that we are about to have a natural disaster and asked me to prepare more food."

After saying this, Jiang Zhiyue looked at everyone's faces, and she really didn't believe it.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't panic in her heart, and she didn't feel so heavy when she said this. She persisted and said: "I didn't believe it at first, but when I went to the town today, I saw too many beggars in the town, so I asked the shopkeeper of the medical center two times. In other words, he said that these beggars came from nearby counties. I also asked those beggars with a few copper coins, and they were indeed from the surrounding counties. I just wanted to come here and have a look.”

"There are indeed a lot of beggars in the town today. I asked my second brother, right?" Jiang Yulai elbowed Jiang Yuqing and said.

Jiang Yuqing quickly nodded in response.

Jiang Zhiyue saw that the Jiang family was starting to loosen, so she planned to add one last fire.

"and……"

Everyone's eyes moved to Jiang Zhiyue again, and saw that she stretched out her palm in the air and didn't know what to do.

Jiang Zhiyue smiled awkwardly at the members of the Jiang family: "The old man said he gave me a treasure chest, and I wonder if I can change something."

Jiang Zhiyue dared to do this because she knew from the original owner's memory that the Jiang family had one heart and would not do anything to betray her. Even if she was betrayed, she still had the ability to protect herself.

After hearing her answer, the Jiang family's expressions were even more exciting, and the combination of various expressions was not to mention how funny.

Jiang Yulai thought to herself, did the girl lose her mind when she fell into the water?What can I do if I am stupid at such a young age!

The rest of the Jiang family also had the same idea, and even planned a series of operations after Jiang Zhiyue failed to marry.

If Jiang Zhiyue knew what they were thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at them.

Everyone was still staring at Jiang Zhiyue's hand seriously, but their expressions were extremely complicated.

Jiang Zhiyue felt that the atmosphere had come to this, and it would be a shame to so many audiences to come out with something unchanged, so after pretending to work hard, a big red apple appeared in her hand.
