A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 10: Refugees Attack
A childish and sad cry came from not far away.

When Jiang Yunjin heard the crying, he looked up and saw the Jiang family boys gathered in front of the bamboo basket, all with red eyes. The one crying the loudest among them was Jiang Qibai, the fourth child of the Jiang family.

The little girl had tears on her rosy face and was pointing at the bamboo basket with sobs. Before she could say a word, tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes and she cried even harder.

When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but frown, as if she didn't understand why the other person was crying.

When she walked forward and her eyes fell on the feet of the fourth child, Jiang Qibai, her face suddenly turned pale.

There were chicken feathers scattered all over the ground under the bamboo basket, and some of the white feathers were stained with a few drops of blood.

But inside the bamboo basket, there was no trace of the group of chicks that she had put in with her own hands yesterday.

Seeing this scene, she understood why Jiang Xiaosi was crying so sadly.

The few drops of blood on the fluff had already coagulated, probably because the chick had been lost for a long time.

I am afraid…

She already had an idea in her mind.

Jiang Xiaosi cried so hard, but was finally comforted by his older brother Jiang Qian'an.

Jiang Qian'an and his companions packed up the bamboo baskets and buried the blood-stained chicken feathers under the shade of a tree nearby.

Soon the attention of the Jiang family boys was attracted by the wild vegetables beside the tree, and they rushed to dig them up.

Jiang Yunjin was also dragged along by several people to dig wild vegetables, but she was absent-minded and was secretly observing Xu.

Looking at Xu who was sitting carefree under the shade of the tree, she remembered that she had gotten up early and burnt the rice porridge, and she didn't even go to the Jiang family to ask for food. Could it be that she had really settled down surprisingly well?

Could it not be her?
Jiang Yunjin was a little suspicious, but he felt that the only person in the Jiang family who could do such a thing was Xu.

She raised her hand and touched her neck, as if she could still feel the burning sensation under her fingertips.

After taking a break, he looked up at Xu's position again, and found that there was no one under the shade of the tree.

She seemed shocked and stood up suddenly, looking around but could not see Xu.

Jiang Yunjin stood up and made such a loud noise that it startled Jiang Qian, who was squatting beside her. With a hint of doubt on his young face, he also stood up and looked around following his sister's gaze, as if he didn't know what she was looking for.

He raised his hand and scratched his head, wondering: "What's wrong with my little sister? Is she looking for mother?" The little sister is so young, she must be inseparable from her mother.

"Big brother, I want to go to the toilet." Jiang Yunjin blushed, covered her belly with her little hands, and couldn't help jumping her feet on the spot, looking really anxious.

Seeing this, Jiang Qianan quickly pointed to a bush so that his younger sister could go to the toilet.

Jiang Yunjin, on the other hand, made an excuse to escape and quietly walked towards the third room.

Last night, Xu used the excuse of splitting up the family business and immediately asked Jiang Lao San to pull the car aside, attempting to draw a clear line with the Jiang family.

She walked a few steps, hiding and evading others for fear of being seen. When she arrived at the resting place of the third room, as expected, she did not see Xu, but only saw Jiang Lao San wrapped in a quilt, with his eyes closed, resting next to the flatbed cart.

There was no trace of Xu here, so she looked around carefully.

Sure enough, not far from the resting area of ​​the third room, she saw Xu cooking something stealthily. Curls of white smoke rose up, mixed with the pungent smell of firewood and the tempting smell of chicken soup.

Chicken soup flavor?
Jiang Yunjin was afraid that she had smelled it wrong, so she sniffed hard, and there was indeed a strong smell of chicken soup in the air.

Her face instantly turned cold, and there was some anger in her eyes as she looked at Xu.

When I was looking for food yesterday, I only caught a pheasant, four or five rabbits, and a few chicks.

And the pheasant had been eaten last night, so where was the pheasant now?
I'm afraid that what Xu ate were those young chicks.

When he thought of this, Jiang Yunjin couldn't hold back his anger. He used the space to become invisible and quietly moved to the firewood. While Xu was picking up firewood, he took out a few handfuls of coarse salt particles from the space and put them all into the small pot. As soon as he was done, Xu came back secretly with a pile of firewood, looking like a guilty thief.

Jiang Yunjin saw it and snorted coldly. Isn't this just a guilty conscience?

Seeing that Xu didn't notice anything unusual, she quietly left.

Little did they know that the aroma of the chicken soup was spreading farther and farther.

As soon as Jiang Yunjin returned to the Jiang family's resting place, she saw her elder brother Jiang Qian'an rushing over. After seeing that she was safe and sound, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took her to dig wild vegetables again.

The wild vegetables were growing very weakly. After working hard for half a day, I only picked a thin layer.

It was not until Jiang Ersao called for help that they reluctantly returned to their resting place.

When Jiang Yunjin came back, she was embraced by Mrs. Jiang, who carefully wiped away the sweat on her forehead and looked at her with pity in her eyes.

"You are sweating so much while playing. Take a rest. Mom will make you something delicious later."

As Mrs. Jiang spoke, she coaxed the little girl in her arms to sleep. As she became more sleepy, the little girl fell asleep with a red face.

When Jiang Yunjin woke up, it was getting dark. The Jiang family had already built a fire and set up an iron pot and were cooking.

Jiang Yunjin woke up, stood up and stretched his body. Feeling the autumn wind blowing on his face, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

She took her short legs to look for Sister Jiang Da, and after looking around, she saw Sister Jiang Da and Sister Jiang Er were busy. She didn't want to disturb them, so she thought about going to drink some water.

Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly stopped.

She looked around again and found that there was no sign of Xu. Not only that, even Jiang Laosan was missing.

Just when she was confused, she heard an urgent shout in her ears.

"Mom! Oh no! Xu is missing!"

Before he finished speaking, a tall figure ran out from the darkness, stumbling. A closer look in the firelight revealed that the person was actually Jiang Laosan.

When the Jiang family heard Jiang Laosan's voice, they put down their work and rushed over.

Mrs. Jiang was supported by the second son of Jiang. Her cold face showed a trace of impatience. She looked at the third son of Jiang with disappointed eyes and said coldly, "Your wife is missing, just go and look for her. Why are you making such a fuss?"

The division of the family hurt the old lady's heart. Looking at Jiang Laosan who was in a hopeless situation, she felt even more disappointed.

Hearing this, Jiang Lao San shrank his neck and looked up at his mother cautiously, but was afraid of the cold light in her eyes, so he quickly lowered his head and said pitifully: "Mother, Xu hasn't been seen for a day. I have looked everywhere for her, but I can't find her. That's why I can't come to look for you."

Mrs. Jiang was about to speak, but the eldest brother Jiang spoke first and said, "Mom, why don't you let me take the fourth and fifth sons to look for it?"

Old Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to nod and agree with the eldest brother.

Boss Jiang didn't delay and immediately took the fourth and fifth brothers with him and started searching carefully together with the third brother.

Just after the few people left, Jiang Ersao wanted to have a good talk with her eldest sister-in-law about Xu's matter, but unexpectedly she heard a rustling sound coming from a distance.

As soon as this voice was heard, the Jiang family immediately became alert, and even Jiang Laoer picked up a wooden stick.

"They have meat! Lots of meat!"

Suddenly a sharp voice was heard, and as the voice fell, a group of ragged refugees suddenly rushed out from the bushes, staring at every member of the Jiang family with green eyes, looking at the Jiang family members as if they were prey.

As the refugees emerged, an unexpected figure followed.
