Chapter 20: Countless Dead and Wounded
Last night, Jiang Liu's eldest daughter, Jiang Qiu, suddenly vomited, she lifted her clothes and found that her symptoms were exactly the same as Jiang Luo's.
At the same time, the yacha who was across the courtyard from them also had symptoms.
Before dawn this morning, Mrs. Jiang also vomited until she fell unconscious.
At the moment, they can only pin their hopes on Chen Xianyue, and want to exchange her for some herbs.
"Mother, she is already sick and unconscious, Xianyue, you can't see death without help." Jiang Liushi sat on the ground, patting his thighs and howling.
"It's all to blame on this little broom star! If she hadn't gotten sick, she wouldn't have passed it on to the big guys! ”
"You're talking nonsense." Jiang Cheng defended, "My sister was also infected! ”
Jiang Liushi glared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Xianyue, if you go with me by yourself, you are still a little decent, if you are embarrassed, I will go back and ask someone to tie you up!" ”
Jiang Luo's mouth was bitter, she stepped forward and stood up straight, now she is even thinner, and the whole person doesn't look like a few taels of meat.
"What about Aunt sending her into the city?"
"That Captain Yang will definitely agree to your request?"
"Even if he agrees, do you know a cure for the disease?"
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you get the herbs, you won't be robbed by others?"
She slashed every word like a knife on Jiang Liu's heart.
Jiang Liushi was so frightened by her momentum that he couldn't say a word.
"You...... What do you mean? Jiang Liushi took a closer look at her spirit, and unexpectedly hadn't seen her for two days, but she had already improved a lot.
Could it be that this disease can be improved without looking at it?
No, if it can heal itself, then how can so many people die in front of the city gate?
Jiang Luo endured the cough, her shortness of breath would bring dizziness, if she coughed, she was afraid that her stomach would turn upside down.
"Their illness...... Nothing is too much trouble. Jiang Luo hesitated for a moment and spread out his hands, "Auntie, don't you see if I'm getting better......
She walked back to her room and quietly placed the medicine in the water of the wooden bucket. Then asked Jiang Liushi to bring the water back and give it to everyone to drink.
"Believe me, I just drank this water and got better."
She half-convinced and carried the water back, and the courtyard finally fell silent.
Jiang Luo doesn't want to always expose her differences, but she can't help herself every time, but fortunately, this is a troubled time, everyone only cares about their lives, and they can't think of anything else.
The world is not peaceful, and people always mature earlier. Although she was only a teenager and looked younger than she really was, no one thought there was anything wrong with her.
After all, if the country is in danger, more than ten years old is enough to go to the battlefield to defend the country.
Jiang Luo rested for two more days, and for these two days, he relied on Chen Xianyue and Jiang Cheng to dig grass roots and come back to eat, barely surviving.
The rest of the Jiang family thought at first that they had something to eat, but later found out that they could only eat grass roots, so they didn't come again.
When Jiang He came over on the third day, Jiang Luo knew that those yacha were all sick and died, and Mrs. Jiang did not survive and died in the morning.
Jiang Luo was surprised, the old lady was too old to survive and she could still understand, but those yacha were all strong and strong, how could they all die?
Chen Xianyue took them to kowtow to the old lady, and Jiang Zhuangci suddenly changed his face when he saw Chen Xianyue coming.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and scolded Chen Xianyue for having no conscience, the Jiang family had saved her, but she refused to change the medicine for the Jiang family.
Chen Xianyue knelt on the ground and wept secretly, not daring to refute a word.
Jiang Luo knew that he was in a bad mood, so he just didn't hear his words, and followed Jiang Cheng to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Mrs. Jiang twice.
They kept the spirit for three days, but they could no longer hold it anymore, so they found a flat slope and dug a pit and buried the man.
Sooner or later, they would starve to death if they stayed in this place, so they were thinking about finding another way out.
Jiang Liu's eyes always fell on Chen Xianyue's body intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't say anything, but the calculating eyes said everything.
At night, Jiang Luo did not live with the Jiang family, but insisted on returning to the small courtyard.
Chen Xianyue didn't understand her thoughts, but Jiang Cheng did. Before those people find a way out, they will still think of taking Chen Xianyue into the city to exchange food.
My sister is doing the right thing, I can't live with them.
Jiang Luo's heart was very unsteady, her actions at night were too obvious, and she was afraid that the rest of the Jiang family would pay attention to their actions.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Jiang Cheng pretended to get up at night, and after walking around outside, he came back and told them that there were people staring at their small courtyard outside.
Jiang Luo sneered, her heart was mixed, to say that these people in the Jiang family were not good to her, everyone took good care of her, and if she wanted to say that these people were good, they always calculated Chen Xianyue.
"Sister, we may not be able to leave." Jiang Cheng remorseed.
"Let's go?" Jiang Ran didn't know why, "Sister, where are we going?" ”
Those yacha are dead, and they don't have to continue their exile.
"Grandfather, they want to exchange the little lady for food, and we have to escape." Jiang Luo explained to her in a whisper.
Chen Xianyue didn't sleep, she had noticed Jiang Liu's thoughts during the day today, but she didn't want her children to starve to death, and being able to exchange for some food was the last thing she could do for the Jiang family.
"Luo'er, Xiaoniang knows that you and Cheng'er are good children, and you want to save Xiaoniang." She smiled and said, "But it's okay, the little lady is willing."
Jiang Luo didn't speak, and he had to turn over on the bed while lying on the thatch.
Jiang Cheng wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth or closed his mouth.
……
"Honeysuckle."
"Master, I'm here."
After Honeysuckle responded, Jiang Luo didn't give an order for a long time, and it asked again, "Master, what do you command?" ”
There is a warehouse in the storage space of honeysuckle, which stores the seeds of dozens of plants and animals on the earth, as well as daily necessities, such as guns and ammunition, medical supplies, and tools for survival in the wild.
There are not many seeds of the plant, they are all samples. Including basic food crops, vegetables and fruits, etc.
Animals use high-tech freezing technology to freeze animals instantly without destroying their vital functions, and if they arrive on a planet suitable for human habitation, they can be thawed to restore their vitality.
Jiang Luo chose a rooster, and after thawing it and taking it out, the rooster instantly regained its life and fell to the ground, striding majestically.
Because the night was so dark, it couldn't see anything, so it had to stay where it was.
Jiang Luo woke up Chen Xianyue, handed her the military knife, and asked her to slaughter the rooster and make it into a roast chicken.
Chen Xianyue was surprised, "Where did this come from?" ”
Jiang Luo scratched his head, "I suddenly ran to the room." ”
Chen Xianyue was hungry, she was really blessed by God, she was busy going to the kitchen to clean up the rooster.
Because the courtyard is full of earthen walls, and the eaves are thatched, if it is dry today, a fire in the courtyard is afraid of causing a fire.
She did as Jiang Luo said, and roasted the chicken outside the courtyard gate.
Chen Xianyue's actions all fell into the eyes of Jiang He and his wife, who were staring at them.
