Chapter 24 Selling food to refugees and encountering robbers(2/2)
"Thanks to them again, Jiang Yuchao is teaching in the town. Isn't it right to help a few boys in the family? Besides, our family is not the only one who collects grain, and the second uncle's family is not the only one with our family.
said."
"We have supported you for so long, and yet we let you stay at my second uncle's house for two days. You are so distracted."
The old man looked at these unscrupulous descendants angrily and asked, "Don't say you didn't know that the two kilograms of grain your wife left for me was moldy old millet."
"What's wrong with Chen Guzi? Can't we still eat it?"
The old man was so angry that his chest felt tight. Chen Guzi was okay to eat, but Chen Guzi that had been soaked in water and turned moldy would be fatal to eat.
There once was an old man with no children or grandchildren in the village who was reluctant to throw away the moldy food. As a result, it was gone the next day.
The second daughter-in-law watched the old man holding his chest and gasping for breath, fearing that he would be pissed off by them and die here, which would be bad luck.
He quickly said: "Our family can't serve you anymore, so just go with your second uncle's house."
After saying that, he winked at Jiang Daya and asked her to send the old man away.
Many people heard about the farce between them, and they were all a little disdainful. The old man's daughters-in-law even said that in order to make the old man live a better life, they left a lot of food for the Jiang family.
The result was two pounds of moldy millet, but no one intervened.
On the contrary, I feel that it would be better for the old man to stay with Jiang Xiucai's family than here.
Afraid that the old man would not want to leave, Jiang Daya planned to hold him by the hand.
As a result, before my hand could touch anyone, it was stopped by a pair of beautiful hands.
Jiang Daya looked up and saw Jiang Zhiyue's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling.
"The old man is in poor health. If you go down right now, you will be accused of beating an elder." Jiang Zhiyue said coldly, her smile not reaching her eyes.
Jiang Daya was startled and said angrily: "Jiang Zhiyue, what are you talking about?"
Although many people saw what they did to the old man just now, as long as no one said anything, it would be fine.
Jiang Zhiyue bluntly said that if she was found to be unfilial, she would be stabbed in the spine. How could she get married in the future?
Jiang Zhiyue didn't even give her a look, and asked obediently towards the old man: "Grandpa, I said we are leaving soon, so let me pick you up."
After such a long delay, the sun has set a little lower and it is not that hot anymore.
The Jiang family decided to take advantage of this time to catch up again.
It stands to reason that the Jiang family's two carts of grain have been sold, and there is no need for Jiang Hengrong to follow them.
As a result, not long after they set off, Jiang Hengrong also shouted to the villagers to pack their things and follow them.
Jiang Hengrong's eyes were gloomy, and he was very dissatisfied with what happened in the past two days.
Not only did the food not arrive, the Jiang family also suffered many humiliations.
But I thought about the big swords in the Jiang family's hands today and the way that girl Jiang Zhiyue beat a dozen people by herself.
He hesitated for a moment and then followed!
If you follow that girl, you might be able to use their house to block her when you encounter danger.
Those knives had already been exposed once, and Jiang Zhiyue didn't let them put them away again.
It was the knife in their family's hands that blocked many people's thoughts in the following days.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. After walking for two more days, on the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Yuchao and the others finally saw a mountain range.
This should be the closest mountain range that Jiang Yuchao mentioned. They also used a lot of water, so they could just go into the mountain to find out if there was any water source.
"Go further and find a flatter road. There is no water source. Let's replenish some water and continue walking."
"Okay!" the Wang family father and son said happily.
If they can't find water anymore, they will start to worry about not being able to walk anywhere.
As soon as the smiles appeared on their faces, they heard panicked voices.
"Help, there are robbers, help!"
After a while, several men were seen running in panic, followed by several robbers with long knives and fierce looks on their faces.
The men also saw the Jiang family and the large team behind them, and their eyes sparkled with light.
"Help us, robbers are coming!" He said and rushed behind the Jiang family.
The robbers who were chasing after them were also forced to stop, but when they saw such a large number of 'fat sheep' appearing in front of them, they instantly became happy.
"Hahaha, brothers, this trip was worth it. We caught a large number of sheep."
"Stop, let's rob, and then we'll catch you."
The robbers pointed their knives at the Jiang family members in front of them and the Jiangjia villagers behind them.
When the people in Jiangjiacun saw the robbers, they panicked and crowded back one by one, hoping that the robbers would not notice them.
Jiang Zhiyue counted the number of these robbers, and there were only eight in total.
But maybe he has been doing robbing, and he has grown fat and strong in this famine year.
The men from the Jiang family and the Wang family stood in front of their family members with knives and stared at them without showing any signs of weakness.
