Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 38 Twice a day

"I'm coming."

Jiang Yuqing quickly took the things from his old mother.

But even though he was much stronger, he was still pushed down by the pile of things.

After carrying the things to the open space and putting them down, Jiang Zhiyue explained: "At the beginning, I saw these things as strange, so my grandmother and I bought a few, but I didn't expect them to come in handy."

"This thing is called a tent. When we fix it on the ground, we don't need to lie in the open air at night."

After finishing speaking, I will teach everyone how to support it and fix it on the ground.

Everyone learned in a good way, and the eight tents were fixed in a short while.

Several people were discussing enthusiastically.

"This is really a good thing, it's the first time I've seen it."

"However, I think this thing is the most practical when it rains. It must be better than the raincoat and tarpaulin."

"Uncle Mu, Sister Qiqi, you can also squeeze with us at night." Jiang Zhiyue invited with a smile.

Both Mu Ping and Mu Qiqi hesitated. Lying here at night must be much more comfortable than being outside, but this thing looks very precious. If they agree, it will be their advantage again.

The others followed Jiang Zhiyue's words and said, "Yes, Doctor Mu, several people can lie in this tent, so you should join us."

What they thought was that they had to trouble him along the way.

If you want others to do their best, then of course you have to give sincerely.

Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the Mu family's father and daughter agreed, but they all thanked the Jiang family in their hearts.

Jiang Zhiyue and Mu Qiqi were divided into the same tent.

That night, everyone slept comfortably and was not bitten by mosquitoes.

On the way the next day, Mu Ping always felt that it was thanks to the Jiang family that the father and daughter could sleep so comfortably at night, so he took the initiative to help them push the scooter.

The members of the Jiang family didn't refuse, they came and went again and again, and the relationship was revealed.

After walking a little distance, everyone found many corpses on the road.

The weather was hot, and the corpse was left untreated under the sun, and it was covered with wriggling white bugs.

As soon as we approached, everyone saw maggots all over the ground. The dense and shocking scene made people feel that trypophobia was about to occur.

As soon as the adults saw this situation, they would cover the eyes of several children.

But Saburo couldn't hold back his curiosity and took a look at his mother's palm.

"Ouch! It's disgusting!"

Seeing that scene, Sun also felt very disgusted, she suppressed the disgust and said: "You deserve it, seeing how good your fourth brother is, you just have to watch it."

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, everyone, please go faster." Jiang Zhiyue said in a raised voice, making sure everyone could hear it.

Mu Ping, who was walking behind, also took a few steps quickly and said: "The little girl is right, the corpse may get sick if it rots for a long time, everyone hurry up and cover your nose and mouth."

Jiang Zhiyue also thought of this, she walked outside the carriage where Mrs. Wang was, and opened a little gap in the curtain with her hands as she walked.

She said, "Third Aunt, pass me some of the masks we sewed before we set off."

When they first came here, Jiang Yulai asked Xiao Wang to put down the car curtain, fearing that the scene outside would scare her.

So Xiao Wang sitting inside still doesn't know what's going on outside.

When she saw a hand suddenly stretched in, and she hadn't reacted to what the little niece said, she admired her fairy art of changing things out of thin air with her own eyes.

Jiang Zhiyue's palms were facing upwards, and a small stack of strange-looking fabrics appeared in her hands.

"Thank you Third Aunt." Jiang Zhiyue smiled and pulled out her hand.

Then she took the 'masks sewn before departure' and distributed them to everyone, not even the Mu family and their daughter.

"The two holes are put on the ears, and the cloth is used to cover the mouth and nose." Jiang Zhiyue briefly taught everyone how to use it.

Everyone didn't care to look at the things that were stuffed into their hands, and hurriedly took them with them according to the method taught by Jiang Zhiyue.

In the following journey, there will be several dead bodies every so often, and all of them are decomposed without exception.

Everyone didn't dare to stop, and they didn't even have a break at noon, they just wanted to pass through this area quickly.

It wasn't until evening that the number of corpses on the ground gradually decreased, but they continued to move forward, wanting to stay away from there.

Finally, they saw a mountain not far away,

They walked another few kilometers vigorously, and everyone finally arrived at the foot of the mountain before dark.

Jiang Yulai took a long breath and said, "I can finally stop and have a rest, I'm almost exhausted."

The others were also extremely tired, bent over and hammered their sore calves.

"Hurry up and cook, you've been tired all day, and take a good rest after eating."

As Mrs. Jiang said, she took the lead in taking down the pots and pans from the car, and Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Sun and Huang Huaihua also quickly joined hands.

Seeing that the Mu family's father and daughter had also put the pot on the ground and prepared to cook, she said, "Girl Qiqi, don't worry about it, let's put two handfuls of rice in the pot, let's eat together today."

"How good is this, dad and I can do something simple." Mu Qiqi refused with a shy smile.

Jiang Zhiyue walked over and pulled Mu Qiqi who was squatting on the ground up, and pulled her to their side without any refusal.

"Everyone has been tired all day, so don't make too much fire, sister Qiqi, come and help."

She knew that the father and daughter of the Mu family didn't like to take advantage of others, so she asked her to help.

"Alright then, but just this time." Mu Qiqi said.

After walking on the road for so long, the meat and vegetables they brought out have been consumed, but fortunately, Jiang Zhiyue still has a lot of sauce.

A large bowl of sticky white porridge for one person, as well as warm pancakes paired with the sauce that Jiang Zhiyue took out from the space, is simply the best taste in the world on this way of fleeing from the wilderness.

Everyone ate with satisfaction, feeling that the fatigue of the day had dissipated a lot.

However, the people of Jiangjia Village on the other side were not so lucky.

After they parted ways with the Jiang family, they continued on their way east.

They met a lot of people on the road, all of them were sallow and thin, and they knew that they hadn't had enough to eat for a long time.

Those people also saw this group of people with a lot of food on them.

Some hungry and red-eyed people wanted to go up to snatch their food, and the two parties scuffled together after a while.

Those hungry and irrational people began to loot the food of the people of Jiangjia Village.

The ruthlessness in their bodies really made them drag a lot of food down, and the food scattered on the ground.

These people don't care that the flour is mixed with the dust on the ground, and they don't care that the millet is not husked at all.

When they saw the grain on the ground, they lay down on the ground and ate it. The soil was mixed with the grain and they ate it. They choked and rolled their eyes and continued to eat.

But they are not as strong as those in Jiangjia Village who can eat every day, and they are not as many people in Jiangjia Village.

After a while, these people were hacked to death by the furious Jiangjia Villagers.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the rest of them fled quickly with the food they had snatched.

The loss of so much food made everyone feel distressed.

Those who had been robbed of food chased for hundreds of meters in anger but failed to catch up with them, so they could only walk back cursing.

"It's a bunch of goddamned bastards, even grabbing food, why don't they choke to death." Mrs. Wu said cursingly.

I just counted that her family's food was robbed a lot.

They couldn't get back the food, so they could only continue on their way, thinking that it would be fine when they arrived in Fucheng, and the prince would definitely find a good place for them.

However, misfortunes never come singly.

When they were resting at night, something happened again.

They found a suitable place to rest and ate something before falling asleep.

As usual, Jiang Hengrong arranged for five watchmen.

But those five people dozed off as before after the others fell asleep.

Nothing happened at night, so they took it for granted that there was absolutely no possibility of accidents.

So when a group of people came quietly, the nearly [-] people in Jiangjia Village didn't feel anything, and they were still sleeping soundly.

Through the moonlight, it could be seen that many people came quietly in the distance, and they looked greedily at the place where the people of Jiangjia Village were resting.

And what they looked at, besides the food, was the sleeping child lying beside the adults!
"Ahhhh, you're robbing the child!" A woman's exclamation woke up the group of people who were sleeping.

The woman desperately dragged the child who was almost snatched away.

The severe pain in the arm also made the child cry out.

"Wow, wow, wow~~ I hurt, it hurts so much." The child repeated over and over again.

But it was this sharp cry that woke up the people of Jiangjia Village who were still in a daze and didn't know what happened.

When those people saw that they were all awake, they knew that if they delayed, they would lose even what they had already got.

A person shouted decisively: "Everyone, run."

After finishing speaking, the person who was still competing with the woman for the child left the child, picked up the bag on the ground, turned around and ran away.

The woman wept bitterly holding the child who was about to be snatched away.

At this time, the other people who had already reacted also shouted.

"Catch the thief, my food has been stolen."

"My grandson is missing, he must have been snatched away by those people just now, please help me find my child!"

All of a sudden, cries, calls for help, and shouts mixed together.

They just sat there and howled, not using the fastest time to catch up with those people.

By the time they got up crying and wanted to retrieve the lost food and children, those people had already scattered and fled.
