Chapter 5: Shameless Talent
At this time, in the courtyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuchao and Da Lang Erlang, who came back from school, also joined the team of digging the cellar.
After tidying up, several people sat in the courtyard to rest and talk.
"Why don't the second and third children come back, don't lose my good granddaughter." Old Mrs. Jiang muttered uneasily.
"Don't worry, mother, maybe it's just a delay in buying things, and you should come back in a while." Zhang's mouth was comforting, but in fact, he was also a little panicked, it was dark this day, why didn't he come back yet.
As he was talking, there was the sound of a car turning outside the door, and Zhang's action was faster than his brain, and he ran over and opened the door.
She took a look and saw that it was Jiang Zhiyue and a few people who came back outside, and the second child also drove an ox cart back.
"Oh, where did this bullock cart come from?" Zhang asked in surprise.
"Sister-in-law, let's go in first." Jiang Yulai jumped down from the ox cart and motioned for Zhang to make a small noise.
Zhang also realized that this was outside the door, and patted his mouth in annoyance, then turned around and opened the door to let Jiang Yuqing drive the ox cart into the yard.
As soon as Jiang Yuqing drove the ox cart in, everyone surrounded him and began to ask.
"Hey, you're going to let us take a breath and ask again." Jiang Yulai looked at Mrs. Jiang and said.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yulai finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang's slap was about to be slapped, so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Jiang Zhiyue.
"Grandma, let's have a bowl of water first and then tell you about the afternoon." Jiang Zhiyue smiled and stepped forward to hug Mrs. Jiang's arm.
Old Lady Jiang's fire went down suddenly, and the center of her mouth hurt and asked a few boys to bring the cold boiled water that had been prepared a long time ago.
After drinking a bowl of water, Jiang Zhiyue began to talk about what happened this afternoon, the ox cart, grain and cloth she bought.
Sun looked at the clothes piled up on the grain and said distressedly: "Why did you buy so many clothes and fabrics, what a waste, don't we all wear them well." β
"Second aunt, our clothes are too old, anyway, we have money in our hands now, so let's prepare some first." Jiang Zhiyue explained.
In the Jiang family, Jiang Zhiyue and her father Jiang Yuchao's clothes are a little better, there are no patches on them, Jiang Yuchao is going to teach in the school, how much attention should be paid to the image, and Jiang Zhiyue's clothes are because the Jiang family gave her all the good materials.
On the other hand, the clothes on the other few people are more or less patched, even on the clothes of the eldest Lang Erlang who goes to school.
And Jiang Zhiyue also has her thoughts, although the original book does not introduce Jiangjia Village too much, Chen Zhicai, who lives in Jiangjia Village, is also among the deserters, and eighty percent of Jiangjia Village is also in the disaster area, so the clothes she buys are all cheesecloth, wear-resistant and comfortable.
"The moon girl is right, let's wear it if we buy it." Mrs. Jiang could see it, she thought that if it was really the same as what her granddaughter said, then she didn't know what the days to come would be, it was better to live a better life now and have fun in time!
I have to say that the person who sees this matter the most is the old man at home.
When Gorou Rokuro heard that there were new clothes, he couldn't wait to climb on the ox cart, Saburo Shiro was older than them and could bear it, but Saburo has always been a bastard boy, and he saw that Goro Rokuro didn't pull it off for a long time, and he also ran over and tossed it together.
Over there, Jiang Yulai turned out the fabric that Jiang Zhiyue specially bought from the ox cart and brought it to Xiao Wang's body: "This is what the girl specially bought for our children, you look at making some small clothes." β
Xiao Wang touched the smooth fabric in his hand, and smiled gratefully at Jiang Zhiyue, and Jiang Zhiyue smiled back.
Mrs. Jiang was so troubled by a few kids who climbed the car that she slapped Gorou on the buttocks, and then said to the few people who were standing: "Unload the things in the car first, take the clothes and fabrics to the hall for a while and then divide them, and move the grain to the cellar, don't make a fuss and attract people." β
The three boys who climbed into the car slid down the food sacks and stood aside to help carry their clothes.
Jiang Yuqing took the clothes off the grain bag and handed them to the few boys who were looking forward to it, and the cloth was carried in by the Wang and Sun families.
The rest of the people carried a bag of grain to the cellar.
Jiang Zhiyue had great strength, and after sending the cloth into the house, she grabbed the middle of a bag of grain with one hand, and easily picked it up with one hand.
The Jiang family knew that she had a lot of strength, and it was not very strange.
By the time the grain was moved, it was already completely dark, and Mrs. Jiang and Xiao Wang were cooking when they had just moved their things, and now the rice was out of the pot.
There are many Jiang families, and the dining table is the kind of big wooden square table, but it can't sit all the people.
Saburo, Shiro, Gorou and Rokuro ate while standing with chopsticks in their hands, and they took a pair of chopsticks when they wanted to eat.
After eating, Jiang Zhiyue supported her somewhat tired body and washed up before falling into a deep sleep.
On the morning of the second day, before Jiang Zhiyue woke up, the yard was lively, and the rooster's crowing was louder.
Jiang Zhiyue squatted in the yard frowning and brushing her teeth with wicker, the fact that there was no toothbrush here made her feel too uncomfortable.
I still have to find a way to take out the toothbrush and use it, wicker brushing always feels unclean and uncomfortable.
"Girl, why don't we go to the town to buy food today?" Jiang Yuqing asked.
"Buy, but I'm not going today, you remember to buy it at another grain store, so as not to attract the attention of others." Jiang Zhiyue said.
Jiang Zhiyue thought that she had bought 800 catties of grain yesterday, and when the crops were harvested, she would be able to have some, which should be enough for them to eat in the next few months, even if it was not enough, there would be room for her.
He asked Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai to go to buy grain, and he had another idea......
"Our family's food is almost up, but my mother and sister-in-law's mother's family still don't know what the situation is now, let's prepare first, and when they don't have food, we will give them the price they bought, that is, the second and third uncles have to make two more trips." Jiang Zhiyue said.
In Jiang Zhiyue's memory, her grandmother was very good to her mother and her, and the two uncles were also good, but they hadn't been to Jiangjia Village a few times, after all, they were afraid of being said to suck their daughter's blood when they got married.
Xiao Wang's maiden family is Mrs. Jiang's eldest brother, and there are only two in Mrs. Jiang's generation, she and her eldest brother, and the elders above have all passed away.
Xiao Wang's family often came here to play when he was a child, and he was a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Jiang Yulai since childhood.
On the contrary, the Sun family and her mother's family are not very close, after all, it is that family, but they can't wait to drink more blood from the two mouthfuls of the married daughter, Jiang Zhiyue looks down on that person in her heart.
What Jiang Zhiyue said just now, the Zhang, Sun, and Xiao Wang families all heard it, and said in their hearts that it was false to be unhappy.
After Jiang Zhiyue said about this dream, they didn't want to tell their parents, but they were worried that the more people knew about Jiang Zhiyue, the more dangerous it would be, so they didn't dare to mention it.
Zhang and Xiao Wang were both happy, and Sun looked calm, not knowing what was in his heart.
After the meal, Jiang Zhiyue went up the mountain alone with a basket on her back.
It's been a few days since she's been here, and her abilities are still in the rudimentary stages, so today she's going to go to the mountains to find critters to practice her skills.
The drought for several months has also had a big impact on Python Mountain.
When Jiang Zhiyue passed by the river under the Big Python Mountain, she found that the water level had dropped a lot, and in just a few days, she could already see the silt under the river from the surface of the river.
Jiang Zhiyue was worried, but she couldn't stop everything from happening, all she could do now was to try her best to protect the safety of the Jiang family.
She continued her walk up the mountain, intending to go deeper into the mountains.
After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Zhiyue heard a voice not far away, because she had a special ability, although she was at a distance, she could still hear it clearly.
"Brother Chen, I see that the purse on your body is old, and I embroidered a new one for you."
Jiang Zhiyue heard that this was Jiang Zhilan's voice, I don't know what Jiang Zhilan was doing on this mountain, Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to be found out and be entangled by her again, she relaxed her steps and hid behind a tree.
"Sister Zhilan, this can't work, I'm a man who has already been engaged, how can I accept your hand-embroidered purse."
Another voice came, and Jiang Zhiyue carefully poked her head out from behind the tree and found that it was Chen Zhicai.
Jiang Zhiyue was puzzled in her heart, Chen Zhicai was accepted as a student by a master in the county after he was admitted to Xiucai, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be in the county school at this time, is the ancient education so lax?
As soon as Chen Zhicai's refusal came out, he continued: "But Sister Zhilan is really ingenious, the embroidered purse is so beautiful, not like the one in the town...... Ay. β
Chen Zhicai said as if he hadn't said anything and as if he had said everything, and Jiang Zhilan's sad mood after being rejected instantly became cheerful again.
Jiang Zhilan felt that Chen Zhicai's words meant to praise her for being more considerate than the fiancΓ©e in his town.
Jiang Zhilan lowered her head and smiled shyly, stuffed her purse into Chen Zhicai's hand and said, "Brother Chen likes it, don't worry, the one in the town doesn't know how to be considerate of you, I will." β
Jiang Zhilan, who lowered her head, didn't see the mockery flashing in Chen Zhicai's eyes, and felt that Chen Zhicai was a rare beloved!
"Sister Zhilan is so gentle and considerate, the person who marries you in the future is really blessed." Chen Zhicai said as if he had no intention.
"Brother Chen, Zhilan is in her heart... You're the only one in my heart. Jiang Zhilan confessed shyly, hoping that he could accept himself.
Jiang Zhiyue sounded like a greasy and crooked conversation between the two, and felt bored in her heart, and was about to leave quietly when she heard Chen Zhicai mention her name.
"I understand Sister Zhilan's intentions, I heard from the people in the village that Sister Zhiyue fell into the water a few days ago, and it was you who ......," Chen Zhicai asked as if he was incredible.
"I... I just want to teach her a lesson for you, who let her trample on Brother Chen's sincerity. Jiang Zhilan hurriedly explained, although she was jealous that Chen Zhicai always said in front of her that Jiang Zhiyue was better than her in everything, she didn't want to leave a vicious impression on Chen Zhicai.
Chen Zhicai's expression was entangled, and he said for a long time: "You are really ...... Hey, you're for me, too, and I won't blame you. β
After that, he put his hand on Jiang Zhilan's shoulder and patted it comfortingly, and Jiang Zhilan looked up at him with a touched face.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Jiang Zhiyue would have wanted to play a suitable music for the two of them to help the fun.
originally thought that Jiang Zhilan pushed her into the water because of her own jealousy, but now it seems that it is not completely, and it should be indispensable to this Chen Zhicai's push.
Since they are so 'happy with each other', she will help them.
Let's choose him for the first training object today, Jiang Zhiyue controlled her mental power to spread to Chen Zhicai.
Originally, Jiang Zhilan was looking up at Chen Zhicai with a raised face, feeling that he was really more and more handsome, and feeling the heat that Chen Zhicai put on her shoulder, her face turned red.
As a result, seeing Chen Zhicai staring at her and slowly bowing her head, Jiang Zhilan shyly closed her eyes and stood on tiptoe.
Chen Zhicai only felt a trance, and when he woke up, he saw an enlarged face in front of him, and felt the touch under his mouth, he suddenly came back to his senses and stepped back.
Doubts and disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said in a very fast tone: "I, I'll go first." β
After speaking, Jiang Zhilan, who was stunned, took the lead and ran down the mountain.
Jiang Zhilan writhed in place excitedly.
Brother Chen must have me in his heart, otherwise how could he kiss me, he must have been shy when he ran away just now.
I have to say that brain supplementation is a good thing, Jiang Zhiyue is looking forward to the situation that they are entangled with each other and dog-eat-dog.
didn't stay any longer, Jiang Zhiyue continued to walk up the mountain, as for how Jiang Zhilan and Chen Zhicai developed, she didn't care so much, but being stuck by Jiang Zhilan, Chen Zhicai might not be able to get rid of it easily even if he wanted to.
Just let the two of them eat dog, she has more important things to do now.
Jiang Zhiyue would stop when he saw pheasants and hares along the way, and instead of grabbing them, he would use his mental power to attack.
Jiang Zhiyue's current spiritual power is only rudimentary, and it only has an effect on creatures within five meters around her, and the mental power is also short, but when her level increases, even if she is a hundred meters away, she can give it a try.
At that time, it can be said that the killing is invisible.
The spirit silk spread to the two pheasants not far away, and they did not notice the danger coming, and were still looking for food on the ground.
When Jiang Zhiyue shrouded the spirit silk on the two pheasants, she quickly controlled the spiritual power on the pheasants' heads and strangled them.
The pheasants stood still as if nothing had happened, and when a gust of wind blew, both pheasants fell to the ground at the same time, and they were already lifeless.
Jiang Zhiyue walked over, put the two pheasants in the back basket, and threw them into the space together.
Next, Jiang Zhiyue saw the pheasant killing the pheasant, and the hare killing the hare, and the animals on the mountain ran in panic, wanting to stay away from her, the little witch who 'killed the chicken/rabbit without blinking', but without exception, Jiang Zhiyue was in the bag.
On the way, Jiang Zhiyue also encountered a snake that wanted to sneak attack her, but she was also used as one to train her mental power, and then she carried it with a stick and put it into the back basket.
She was a little tired from running, so Jiang Zhiyue found a relatively thick tree and climbed up, intending to drink some water.
This trip up the hill caught seven pheasants, pheasants, and three rabbits, as well as a snake the thickness of her arm.
Jiang Zhiyue drank the juice taken out of the space, still a little regretful that she didn't meet a large wild thing, she still thought that she could catch a wild boar or something and take it back to barbecue jerky to eat, but she didn't even see a shadow.
Just thinking like this, there was a great movement in the distance, the big trees under Jiang Zhiyue shook, she stood firm and looked in the direction where the movement came from, it turned out to be a blind bear and an adult wild boar fighting.
Really thinking about something, Jiang Zhiyue rubbed her little hands with some excitement.
