Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 5 Shameless Scholar

At this time, in the Jiang family’s yard, Jiang Yuchao and Dalang Erlang, who came back from school, also joined the team of digging the cellar. With more people, the work was done quickly. The cellar was dug soon, and Mr. Jiang also compiled it. Covered the mouth of a cellar.

After tidying up, a few people sat in the yard to rest and talk.

"Why haven't the second and third children come back yet, don't lose my good granddaughter." Mrs. Jiang muttered worriedly.

"Don't worry, mother, maybe it's because you missed the time shopping, and you should be back in a while." Zhang comforted her, but she was actually a little flustered in her heart. It's getting dark, why haven't you come back yet.

Just as he was talking, there was the sound of wheels turning outside the door, and Mrs. Zhang ran over and opened the door faster than her brain.

She glanced around, and it was Jiang Zhiyue and the others who came back from the outside, and the second child even drove an ox cart back.

"Hey, where did this bullock cart come from?" Mrs. Zhang asked in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, let's go in first." Jiang Yulai jumped off the bullock cart and motioned Zhang to keep her voice down.

Mrs. Zhang also realized that it was outside the door. She patted her mouth annoyed, then turned around and opened the door to let Jiang Yuqing drive the ox cart into the yard.

As soon as Jiang Yuqing drove the bullock cart in, the crowd gathered around and started asking questions.

"Oh mother, you let us take a breath and ask again." Jiang Yulai said, looking at Mrs. Jiang.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yulai finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang was about to slap her, scaring him to hide behind Jiang Zhiyue.

"Grandma, let's drink a bowl of water first and then tell you about the afternoon." Jiang Zhiyue smiled and stepped forward to hug Old Mrs. Jiang's arm.

Old Mrs. Jiang's anger went down immediately, her mouth hurt and she asked the boys to bring the cold boiled water they had prepared earlier.

After drinking a bowl of water, Jiang Zhiyue began to talk about what happened this afternoon, the ox cart, food and cloth she bought.

Sun looked at the clothes piled up on the grain and said distressedly: "Why did you buy so many clothes and fabrics? What a waste. We don't wear everything well."

"Second aunt, our clothes are too old. Anyway, we have money now, so we should prepare some first." Jiang Zhiyue explained.

In the Jiang family, the clothes of Jiang Zhiyue and her father Jiang Yuchao are better, there are no patches on them, Jiang Yuchao is going to teach in the school, so she should pay more attention to her image, while Jiang Zhiyue's clothes are because the Jiang family gave her all the good materials.

On the other hand, the clothes of the other people were more or less patched, even the clothes of Da Lang Erlang who went to school.

And Jiang Zhiyue also has her own ideas. Although the original book did not introduce too much about Jiangjia Village, Chen Zhicai who lives in Jiangjia Village is also on the list of fleeing famine. Jiangjia Village is probably in the disaster-stricken area, so the clothes she bought are crude Made of cotton, durable and comfortable.

"Yue girl is right, we will wear it when we buy it." Mrs. Jiang was more open-minded. She thought that if it was true what her granddaughter said, then the days to come would not be as good as they are now. Have a better life and enjoy yourself in time!
I have to say that the most open-minded about this matter turned out to be the elderly at home.

When Wulang Liulang heard that there were new clothes, he couldn't wait to climb on the bullock cart. Sanlang Shiro was older than them, but he couldn't bear it, but Sanlang has always been a bastard. They also ran over and tossed together.

Over there, Jiang Yulai dug out the fabric that Jiang Zhiyue specially bought from the bullock cart and brought it to Xiao Wang: "Yue girl bought this specially for our children. Look at it and make some small clothes."

Xiao Wang touched the smooth cloth in her hand, and smiled gratefully at Jiang Zhiyue, who also smiled back.

Mrs. Jiang got a headache from the boys climbing the car, so she slapped Wulang on the buttocks, and then said to the people standing there: "Unload the things on the car first, and take the clothes and fabrics to the front room." Go there for a while and then divide, move the grain to the cellar, don't attract people by making a fuss."

The three boys who climbed onto the car slid down the grain bag and stood aside, planning to wait for help with the clothes.

Jiang Yuqing took the clothes off the grain bag and handed them to the eagerly awaited boys, while the cloth was carried in by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Sun.

The rest of the people carried a bag of grain and moved it into the cellar.

Jiang Zhiyue was very strong. After sending the cloth into the house, she grabbed the middle of a bag of grain with one hand, and picked it up easily with one hand.

Everyone in the Jiang family knew that she was very strong, so it was not surprising.

After moving the food, it was completely dark. Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wang were cooking when they were just moving, and now the rice is out of the pot.

There are many Jiang family members, and the dining table is the kind of big wooden square table, but it can't seat all the people.

Saburo, Shiro, Goro, and Liulang stood and ate with bowls and chopsticks, and they picked up chopsticks when they wanted to eat something.

After the meal, Jiang Zhiyue propped up her somewhat tired body and fell into a deep sleep after washing.

The next morning, before Jiang Zhiyue woke up, the yard was bustling with activity, and the crowing of the rooster was louder than the loudest.

Jiang Zhiyue squatted in the yard frowning and brushing her teeth with a willow stick. The fact that there was no toothbrush here made her feel too uncomfortable.

I still have to find a way to take out the toothbrush and use it. Wicker brushing always feels unclean and uncomfortable.

"Girl, shall we go to the town to buy food today?" Jiang Yuqing asked.

"Buy it, but I won't go there today. Remember to buy it at another grain store to avoid attracting attention." Jiang Zhiyue said.

Jiang Zhiyue thought that she bought [-] catties of grain yesterday, and there would be some after the crops were harvested, which should be enough for them to eat for the next few months, and even if it wasn't enough, there would still be room for her.

He asked Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai to continue to buy food because he had another idea...

"Our family's food is almost there, but my mother and sister-in-law's family don't know what's going on now. Let's prepare first. When they have no food, we will give them the price we bought. It's hard work for the second and third uncles." I made two trips." Jiang Zhiyue said.

In Jiang Zhiyue's memory, her grandmother was very kind to her mother and her, and her two uncles were also nice, but they hadn't been to Jiangjia Village a few times. After all, after their daughter was married, they came here for fear of being said to suck her blood.

Xiao Wang's natal family is Mrs. Jiang's elder brother. In Mrs. Jiang's generation, there are only her and her elder brother, and all the elders above have passed away.

Xiao Wang used to come here to play when she was a child, and she was a childhood sweetheart with Jiang Yulai. The old lady Jiang also wanted to know everything, so she decided to make a marriage between Jiang Yulai and Xiao Wang.

On the contrary, Sun's relationship with her natal family is not very close. After all, it's just that family, but she can't wait to drink more blood from her married daughter. Jiang Zhiyue looks down on that person in her heart.

Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang heard what Jiang Zhiyue said just now, and it was a lie to say that they were unhappy.

After Jiang Zhiyue talked about the dream, it wasn't that they didn't want to tell their natal family, but they were worried that the more people knew about Jiang Zhiyue, the more dangerous they would be, so they never dared to mention it. Now that Jiang Zhiyue talked about it, it was a big stone in their hearts. some.

Both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were overjoyed, while Mrs. Sun looked calm, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

After dinner, Jiang Zhiyue went up the mountain alone with a backpack on her back.

It has been many days since I came here, and her abilities are still at the elementary level, so today she plans to go to the mountain to practice with small animals.

The drought that has lasted for several months has also had a considerable impact on Big Python Mountain.

When Jiang Zhiyue passed the river at the foot of Da Mang Mountain, she found that the water level had dropped a lot. In just a few days, she could already see the silt below the river from the surface of the river.

Jiang Zhiyue was worried, but she couldn't stop everything from happening. What she can do now is to try her best to protect the safety of Jiang's family.

She continued to walk up the mountain, intending to go further into the mountains.

After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Zhiyue heard a voice not far away. Because of her supernatural ability, she could still hear it clearly even though it was some distance away.

"Brother Chen, I see that the purse on your body is old. I embroidered a new one for you."

Jiang Zhiyue recognized that it was Jiang Zhilan's voice. She didn't know what Jiang Zhilan was doing up this mountain. Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to be caught and entangled with her again, so she walked lightly and hid behind a tree.

"Sister Zhilan, this won't work. I'm a man who has already engaged. How can I accept the purse embroidered by you?"

Another voice came, and Jiang Zhiyue carefully poked her head out from behind the tree, and found that it was Chen Zhicai.

Jiang Zhiyue was puzzled. Chen Zhicai was taken in as a student by a teacher in the county after he passed the examination as a scholar. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be studying in the county at this time. Could it be that the education in ancient times was so lax?

As soon as Chen Zhicai said his refusal, he continued, "But sister Zhilan is really ingenious. The purse she embroiders is so beautiful, unlike the one in the town... hey."

Chen Zhicai seemed to have said nothing and seemed to have said everything. Jiang Zhilan's originally sad mood after being rejected suddenly became cheerful again.

Jiang Zhilan felt that what Chen Zhicai meant was to praise her for being more considerate than his fiancée in the town.

Jiang Zhilan lowered her head and smiled shyly, stuffed the purse into Chen Zhicai's hand and said, "As long as Brother Chen likes it, don't worry, the one in town doesn't know how to be considerate of you, I will."

Jiang Zhilan, who lowered her head, didn't see the mockery flashing in Chen Zhicai's eyes, and thought that Chen Zhicai was a rare and beloved man!

"Sister Zhilan is so gentle and considerate, the person who will marry you in the future will be really blessed." Chen Zhicai said seemingly unintentionally.

"Brother Chen, in Zhilan's heart...you are the only one in my heart." Jiang Zhilan confessed shyly, hoping that he would accept her.

Jiang Zhiyue listened to the tired and crooked conversation between the two, felt bored in her heart, and was about to leave quietly when she heard Chen Zhicai mention her name.

"I understand sister Zhilan's intentions. I heard from the villagers that it was you who fell into the water a few days ago when sister Zhiyue fell into the water..." Chen Zhicai asked in disbelief.

"I...I just want to teach her a lesson for you. Who told her to trample on your sincerity, Big Brother Chen?" Jiang Zhilan hastily explained that although she was jealous of Chen Zhicai always saying that Jiang Zhiyue was better than her in everything in front of her, she didn't want to be left behind by Chen Zhicai Vicious impression.

Chen Zhicai's expression was tangled, and it took a long time before he said: "You are really... hey, you are also for me, and I will not blame you."

After finishing speaking, she put her hand on Jiang Zhilan's shoulder and patted it comfortingly. Jiang Zhilan looked up at him with a moved face.

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Jiang Zhiyue would have wanted to play a suitable piece of music for the two of them to cheer up the fun.

Originally thought that Jiang Zhilan pushed her into the water because of her own jealousy, but now it seems that it is not completely true, and Chen Zhicai's push should be indispensable.

Since they're so 'compassionate', she'll give them a helping hand.

Let's choose him as the first training object today, Jiang Zhiyue controlled the mental power to spread towards Chen Zhicai.

Originally, Jiang Zhilan was looking up at Chen Zhicai with her face raised, feeling that he was getting more and more handsome as he looked, and feeling the heat from Chen Zhicai on her shoulder, her face turned red with embarrassment.

Seeing Chen Zhicai staring at her and slowly lowering his head, Jiang Zhilan shyly closed her eyes and stood on tiptoe.

Chen Zhicai only felt in a trance for a while, and when he was awake, he saw a magnified face in front of him, and felt the touch under his mouth, he suddenly recovered and stepped back.

Doubt and disgust flashed across his eyes, and he said quickly, "I, I'll go first."

Before finishing speaking, Jiang Zhilan, who was in a daze, ran down the mountain first.

Jiang Zhilan writhed on the spot excitedly.

Brother Chen must have me in his heart, otherwise how could he kiss me? He must be shy when he ran away just now.

It has to be said that brain supplements are a good thing, but Jiang Zhiyue is somewhat looking forward to the situation where they are entangled with each other, a dog eats a dog.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't stay any longer, and continued to walk up the mountain. As for how Jiang Zhilan and Chen Zhicai would develop, she didn't care that much, but if Jiang Zhilan was attached to her, Chen Zhicai might not be able to shake off easily even if she wanted to.

Just let the two of them bite the dog, she has more important things to do now.

Jiang Zhiyue would stop when he saw pheasants and hares along the way, instead of catching them, he would use his mental power to attack.

Jiang Zhiyue's current mental power is only at the elementary level, and it only works on creatures within five meters of her, and the mental power is also short-lived, but when her level improves, she can try it even if she is [-] meters away.

At that time, it can be said that killing is invisible.

The spirit thread spread to the two pheasants not far away, but they didn't notice the danger at all, and they were still looking for food on the ground.

When Jiang Zhiyue shrouded the two pheasants with mental silk, he quickly controlled the mental power on the heads of the pheasants and strangled them.

The pheasants stood still, as if nothing had happened. When a gust of wind blew by, the two pheasants fell to the ground at the same time, lifeless.

Jiang Zhiyue walked over and put the two pheasants in the basket and threw them into the space together.

Next, Jiang Zhiyue saw a pheasant killing a pheasant, and a hare killing a hare. The animals on the mountain ran in panic, trying to stay away from her, the little witch who "kills chickens/rabbits without blinking an eye", but Jiang Zhiyue took them all without exception.

On the way, Jiang Zhiyue also encountered a snake that wanted to sneak up on her, but she also regarded it as one to train her mental strength, and she picked it up with a stick and put it into the back basket.

Tired from running, Jiang Zhiyue found a thicker tree and climbed up, intending to drink some water.

Although this trip up the mountain caught seven pheasants, three rabbits, and a snake as thick as her arm.

Jiang Zhiyue drank the juice taken out of the space, and still felt a little regretful that she didn't meet a large wild animal. She thought she could catch a wild boar or something and take it back to eat dried meat, but she didn't even see a shadow.

Just as she was thinking like this, there was a huge movement in the distance, and the big tree under Jiang Zhiyue shook. She stood firm and looked in the direction of the movement. It turned out that there was a blind bear and an adult wild boar. fight.

Really thinking of whatever, Jiang Zhiyue rubbed her little hands excitedly.
