Chapter 32
Just be as virtuous as me
After she got into the pot, she sat down and said to him, "I know you are afraid that I can't deal with them alone, but trouble can't be avoided by us."
Jiang Yan looked at her, shook his head and could only acquiesce.
The steamed salted fish with shredded ginger tastes really good. It doesn’t add anything else, but it just tastes good.
Jiang Yan has long discovered that she is good at cooking and always likes to make things that most people have never tasted.
"This steamed salted fish with shredded ginger is good, the cured meat is well blended, and the salty aroma is overflowing." Jiang Yan rarely had a good impression of fish.
He had never liked to eat fish before because Jin Yan always cooked fish soup for him, and drinking that stuff caused him psychological distress.
Jin Yan also raised his head proudly, "I didn't expect this salted fish to be quite successful. Do you think we should make more."
Jiang Yan thought for a while and said, "Make more. In addition to eating for yourself, you can also do business."
Jin Yan was stunned. He still wanted to do business these days?
"How can we do business here? People can't survive these days. Money is useless."
Jiang Yan knocked her head helplessly, "You are usually so smart, why are you so stupid now? Who told you to exchange for silver? We can exchange for some other necessities."
Jin Yan covered his head and stared at him dissatisfied. This guy was getting more and more aggressive.
She pouted her little mouth and said, "Who said I'm stupid? I just didn't think about it at the moment!"
It is true that his mind works quickly and he thinks a lot. Now people outside are short of food, and they themselves are also short of resources.
Currency itself is a means of circulation. Without currency, it is not impossible to exchange things for things. What's more, nowadays, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy things.
Seeing her rich expression, Jiang Yan suddenly laughed and said, "Aren't you worried about what to do if you go out? With these things, we can count as bargaining chips along the way, no matter where you want to go."
Jin Yan immediately understood what he meant. He knew that he was not someone who wanted to stay here forever and would have to leave sooner or later.
He is planning for himself.
Jin Yan couldn't help but look at him, "You are so scheming. You should have thought about this thing long ago without even a clue."
Jiang Yan shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm used to taking precautions, so it's always good to have some fallback options."
Now that they had agreed to stock up on food, the two of them worked harder.
Jin Yan went out to hunt and find food during the day, and took a look at the situation outside. Jiang Yan made animal skins, weaved cloth, pickled bacon, salted fish and dried meat at home.
In the evening, the two of them divided the work again, one was weaving, the other continued to sit around the fire, making salt or boiling lard in the pot, and roasting dried meat next to it.
This close cooperation lasted for three days, and on this day someone finally came to the mountain stream.
Jin Yan went to the intersection early in the morning to guard, and saw dozens or twenty people entering the mountain before and after!
She suddenly took a breath of cold air. With so many people, even if the mountain stream was huge, there was still a lot of movement.
Fortunately, she and Jiang Yan had set up cover near the cave early, otherwise they would definitely be found.
"Oh, it's nice in the mountains. It's cooler than outside!" The old lady looked at the green mountains and was very happy. She pulled Zhang San to talk about this and that.
Zhang San looked at the old lady, and then at the five people accompanying him. His forehead was sweating. He looked at his wife, who also looked embarrassed.
"Son-in-law, you have done a good thing this time!" The old lady smiled and patted his hand, and almost started crying as she spoke, "If it weren't for you, our family would have starved to death in that village.
"
Zhang San's wife quickly hugged her and said, "Mom, why are you crying? Third brother found such a good land, so naturally he has to take refuge with our family."
She looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law again, "You are the same. From now on, our family will depend on each other."
The couple suddenly burst into tears, "Okay, sister, brother-in-law, let's leave quickly. We have to find a place quickly. Didn't you say we are not the only ones here? We have to find a good place, otherwise they will rob us!"
Zhang San nodded and took the lead to lead the way.
Jin Yan took a deep breath, feeling a little scared even if he was hiding behind his back. He looked up and saw the bearded man coming in with a few people.
Unlike Zhang San, who had a beard and brought six people with him, he brought a woman and a child, followed by an old man.
The woman's expression became relaxed when she came here, and she pulled back her beard clothes and said, "Ms. sir, let's take a rest. Dad and the baby are both tired from walking."
The bearded man looked at the three of them. It was true that it was not easy to avoid others along the way. He was already very tired from traveling before dawn.
He nodded, helped the old man sit next to him, "Dad, are you okay?"
The old man nodded and reassured him, "It's okay. Working in the fields used to be more tiring than this. Go and see the baby. The baby is still young, and he has been hungry for so long. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it anymore."
.”
As expected, Bearded Beard went to see his son again. The child looked to be only seven or eight years old, but he was as hungry as skin and bones. "Dad, I'm hungry."
"It's okay, it's okay. We'll have something to eat when we get here. Dad will kill a sheep to make up for you later!"
The family also sat there for a while, and then went into the mountain stream.
After a while, another man came in with a tour group. The group was so big that it seemed as if all the three aunts and six women had been invited.
Jin Yan stayed for a while and then left. There was nothing interesting about these people. They were all here to avoid trouble anyway.
Even though they didn't have any news to inquire about, they were still noisy, as if they had endless things to talk about, and the whole mountain stream became lively.
If it weren't for the fact that they were all so hungry and skinny, she wouldn't have believed that they were here to seek refuge.
What she is more concerned about now is whether anyone has found the cave. What should she do if she is discovered?
On this day alone, a lot of people came, and not only did they come, there was a constant quarrel outside.
Before, she thought it didn't matter even if these people entered the mountain. This was not her territory anyway, and others could come if they wanted to.
But now she feels that this is really troublesome. With so many people coming in, it will be even more inconvenient in the mountains in the future.
Jin Yan returned to the cave very early and analyzed the situation outside with Jiang Yan.
"According to what you said, there are too many people outside. We must be more careful in the future."
Jiang Yan looked cautious. It was not a good thing for so many people to come here. He was afraid that something would happen soon.
Jin Yan didn't expect that much, "They won't cause any trouble, right? Although the quarrel is a bit loud, it will pass after you tolerate it."
Jiang Yan looked at the girl's innocent look, suddenly laughed, reached out and pinched her cheek, "You've never been afraid, haven't you?"
"Ugh!" Jin Yan tilted his head as he held it up, and slapped it in anger, "It hurts so much!"
She had tears in her eyes and rubbed her cheeks angrily, "Get your pig hooves away!"
Why does she feel that this man has become stronger? He was so weak before, but now he can attack her!
Really unhappy.
Jiang Yan still looked shameless. Taking advantage of his good health, he leaned over and teased her mischievously, "Ah Yan, I heard people say that hitting means kissing and scolding means loving. This is indeed true. Look, you always
It’s love that takes action against me, just be as virtuous as me.”
