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

Chapter 26 Looking for Water Source
Noon.

The Jiang family packed up their things and stood outside the yard waiting for the Pei family to come out.

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Pei took Master Pei out of the post station.

The Pei family's servants had already packed their things and were ready to set off as soon as the master arrived.

When Mrs. Pei got on the carriage and was about to set off, an urgent voice came from the post station.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I'm behind. I just went to the bathroom to take care of it."

Xu, who arrived late, had a flattering smile on her face and explained humbly to Madam Pei.

Mrs. Pei had a cold expression on her face. She waved her hand and let the convoy move forward.

Xu, who was dragged aside, was not annoyed at all. She looked at the carriage that was about to start with greedy eyes.

She licked the remaining broth on her lips and smiled, as if the noble woman sitting in the carriage was her.

Jiang Laosan walked forward with a dark face, pulled Xu behind him, and instantly smelled the meat on the other person.

He frowned with some disgust, having already tolerated Xu's petty behavior to the extreme.

"Why don't you go over there quickly? Are you waiting for someone to invite you?"

"Isn't this what we're waiting for?"

Xu was not annoyed by Jiang Laosan's behavior. She threw him a coquettish look and then said this in a pretentious manner.

She was in a good mood today and didn't bother with the Jiang family.

Xu hummed as she passed by the Jiang family, and rarely did she roll her eyes at them.

When Xu passed by, the Jiang family members smelled her scent and their faces turned pale instantly.

Xu, who walked to the back, did not see the expressions of the Jiang family.

She was feeling complacent because she hadn't been able to eat the meat yet.

The Jiang family did not tell Xu the truth about the broth she ate, and even Jiang Lao San was not aware of it.

They were afraid that Xu would not accept it.

But looking at the current situation, even if Xu knew the inside story, she would probably eat it as usual.

Everyone felt a chill.

Not long after they left, a new group of refugees occupied the post station.

The Pei family didn't walk very fast, and the Jiang family behind them didn't have much difficulty following either.

The team stopped only when it got dark.

The surroundings were extremely desolate, even the trees were sparse.

The Pei family asked to rest here for one night.

At this moment, the Jiang family was in trouble.

They didn't have much water left, so they couldn't even cook dinner tonight.

They had not expected the shortage of water.

Outside the Great Wall, most of the places are desolate, but you can still get a lot of water.

After passing the customs, it was not as easy as they had imagined.

Even the water supply has decreased a lot.

The Jiang family members gathered together to discuss and decided to let the eldest brother Jiang take his two younger brothers to look for water around.

The young men from the Jiang family couldn't sit still either, and immediately clamored to go along.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunjin quickly stretched out her little hand and shouted that she wanted to go together.

Mrs. Jiang didn't want to let the boys get involved, but when she saw her daughter was so enthusiastic, she couldn't bear to discourage her from having a childlike heart.

"Well, you can take these kids with you. With more people, we can find the search faster."

With Mrs. Jiang's words, several men in the Jiang family also agreed.

While it was still light, Old Master Jiang and his men headed towards the sparse woods.

Generally, there are water sources around forests.

Jiang Yunjin followed behind Boss Jiang, and along the way she was thinking about how to get the water out of the space.

How can I avoid attracting other people's attention?

Moreover, the water quality in this space is extremely good, and it has many special abilities. How can we avoid arousing the suspicion of the Jiang family!
This is a difficult problem.

But it couldn't stump Jiang Yunjin.

Three adults and five children.

Soon they were divided into three teams. Boss Jiang led Jiang Yunjin to search eastwards.

Jiang Lao Er took his two cubs, and Jiang Lao Si took his two cubs, searching in the south and north respectively.

Each of them carried four or five water bags and started searching in a heroic and confident manner.

Jiang Yunjin followed his father. The two walked along the way without saying a word. Instead, they listened to the noises around them with nervous looks on their faces.

Jiang Yunjin had sensitive ears. Not long after he walked away, he heard the faint sound of gurgling water in the distance.

She immediately reached out and tugged at Daddy's sleeve, pointed ahead and said, "Dad, I heard a noise ahead."

Upon hearing this, Boss Jiang held his breath and listened, but did not hear any sound.

He was about to open his mouth to comfort his daughter and tell her that she had misheard, but then he thought again and felt something was wrong.

Since my daughter came to the Jiang family, her living standards have improved significantly.

In the past, when looking for food, it was considered a great luck to see meat once out of ten times.

But now, with my daughter following me, I can see meat and fish ten times out of ten!

To him who has never believed in these things, his daughter is truly a blessing sent by God to his family!
This time, Boss Jiang did not hesitate at all and led his daughter forward.

Ask for specific directions as you walk.

After several twists and turns, the two men walked out of a small path and the view in front of them suddenly became bright.

A weak stream appeared before the two people.

Boss Jiang was delighted. He bent down, picked up his daughter, and walked forward quickly.

He walked to the stream and put his daughter aside.

"Xiao Yunjin, you stay here and let Daddy do this job."

As Boss Jiang spoke, he opened the wooden stopper on the water bag and started filling it with water.

Jiang Yunjin nodded obediently, standing aside and silently watching his father fill the water, while secretly operating to get some of the spiritual spring water out.

She didn't dare take out too much spiritual spring water, only about a bowl of water.

These are enough to improve the Jiang family's physique.

After doing all this, Jiang Yunjin felt that there was still some time, so he couldn't help but wander around.

She kept her father's words in mind and didn't go too far.

Just as my calves stepped onto a huge rock, I suddenly heard a faint wailing sound coming from the front.

The voice was weak and mournful.

Jiang Yunjin heard this and felt a pang in his heart.

An invisible sadness spread in my heart.

She could tell that it was the cry of some animal.

What animal it was, she didn't know.

In ancient times, encountering wild animals was a common occurrence.

"Dad, there seems to be a sound ahead!"

Boss Jiang now loaded the water bags and tied them around his body. After making sure they would not fall, he quickly walked to his daughter's side.

All I could hear was the sound of the wind whistling past my ears.

The father and daughter continued walking forward, and soon they saw a cave.

Before getting close to the cave, I could smell a strong stench.

The taste is very strong and makes people unreliable.

As they got closer, Boss Jiang also heard the whimpering.

As a hunter for many years, he immediately understood what it was.

Jiang Yunjin was also so irritated by the smell that she could hardly open her eyes.

It took a long time to calm down, and then I gradually felt better.

The white and tender little hands pinched the little nose, and the dark and bright eyes stared at Boss Jiang without stopping.

In an instant, his dark eyes became wet, like a deer lost in the woods, which made people feel soft-hearted just by looking at him.

Boss Jiang gritted his teeth, took out a fire starter from his arms, and stepped firmly into the dark cave.

After a while, he took out a somewhat blurry ball of flesh from inside.
