Chapter 17: Mishu City

Before the others could react, Lao Hengrong rushed in with an arrow.

Seeing the grain piled up in the corner, he immediately knelt on the ground, and kept shouting: "Thank you old fairy, thank you old fairy." ”

The others were confused when they heard Lao Hengrong's words.

However, they looked at the grain that was so obvious that they couldn't convince themselves that they had missed it when they were looking for food yesterday.

Lao Hengrong told them what happened last night.

Everyone listened to Lao Hengrong tell what happened yesterday like a story, and their hearts fluttered, and they rubbed their eyes to make sure that none of this was a dream.

After Lao Hengrong finished speaking, he said with an unfathomable face: "The old immortal must have felt that our unity helped us, and he also said that the imperial city is not a good place to go, so we have to discuss and change the route." ”

……

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know all this, because she went out of the city with her family after putting away the food and water.

At this moment, it is also far from the county seat.

This is the main road, although the Jiang family is not with the people of Jiangjia Village, they can only follow the road they have just walked.

Without the procrastination of the large team, they traveled quickly, and after walking for more than an hour, they saw the team in Jiangjia Village in front of them from a distance.

It was already noon at this moment, and the Jiang family saw from a distance that the team in front of them seemed to have stopped to rest.

They didn't want to get together again, so they just stopped and found a place to rest under the shade of a tree.

It is said to be the shade of a tree, but in fact there is only the shadow of the trunk and branches slanting down.

It hadn't rained for too long, and even the trees had no life, and they were bare.

After walking for a few hours, everyone was tired and hot, Jiang Zhiyue only felt that her body was soaked in sweat and sticky, and she pulled her clothes uncomfortably.

Looking at the sweaty crowd again, Jiang Zhiyue asked Da Lang and the others to take out the oilcloth on the car and tie a few horns with ropes to several big trees next to each other.

Although it can't completely block the sun shining on people, it is much more comfortable than sitting in the sun.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the large shadow that had been covered, and beckoned the others to go in as well.

There were a few straw mats on the ground, and she took the lead in occupying a place to lie down.

"Ah, comfortable~"

Jiang Zhiyue was lying on the straw mat, her body stretched out in a large shape, and she stretched out comfortably.

Zhang Shi smiled and scolded with a smile: "Look at you, you don't look like a girl at all." ”

The four members of the Jiang family and the Wang family have long been surprised.

The Jiang family felt that since Jiang Zhiyue tore her face with Jiang Zhilan after falling into the water, she was like opening a strange second vein of Ren Du and became more jubilant than before.

And Jiang Zhiyue, whom the Wang family saw when they lived here, was this character, and at the beginning they sighed that the Jiang family was really spoiled by girls, but now they are already calm.

However, the old man Jiang Kangde secretly glanced at it in surprise.

His legs and feet are not very good, and he goes out less.

Most of the sources of information from the outside are family chatting or muttering a few words during dinner.

What you can hear is how well-behaved Jiang Zhiyue is, how clever she looks, or something.

It didn't look like he knew it was the same.

However, seeing that everyone didn't show any surprise, he pressed the confusion in his heart.

It must be that he has been out less in the past few years, and he doesn't know what the girl's family is like.

Yes, that's it!

Old man Jiang Kangde brainwashed himself and quickly convinced himself.

Jiang Zhiyue was lying on the ground and heard her grandmother's complaint, raised a hand and shook it.

The little head also shook in agreement.

"No, no, no, how boring it would be if everyone was the same."

"It is precisely because everyone is different fireworks that there are colorful lives and encounters, do you say?"

Everyone laughed and replied in unison, "That's what Zhiyue said." ”

Rokuro was intrigued by the other things in her words.

He asked with some curiosity: "Sister, what are the fireworks like?" Have you ever seen the fireworks? ”

"Naturally, it's ......" Jiang Zhiyue realized that she almost said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "I haven't seen it, but Sister Ah has seen firecrackers." ”

I've seen a lot of them in my previous life, but she here shouldn't have seen fireworks.

Ordinary Chinese New Year, everyone just buys some firecrackers, fireworks and other things are luxury goods that aristocratic businessmen can play, and ordinary people can't buy them.

Saburo Shiro Goro also came over to listen, and when she heard her say that she hadn't seen it either, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Sister hasn't seen it before, I heard that fireworks are much better than firecrackers, and they can fly into the sky."

"I heard that it's still colorful, and I don't know if I have a chance to see it, hey~" Saburo sighed heavily, and felt a little regretful.

Jiang Zhiyue comforted them and said, "Don't worry, you can definitely see it." ”

As they spoke, the Zhang family also made lunch.

Today's lunch was noodles, but each bowl of noodles had a poached egg and three large slices of meat that looked fragrant.

Anyway, it's all his own family, and Zhang's cooking is no longer hidden.

Everyone smelled the fragrance wafting in, and they all looked in the same direction.

It's really a blessing to be able to eat such a bowl of noodles on the way to escape the wilderness.

Everyone was holding a bowl of noodles, eating happily, and instantly felt that they were so happy not to follow the big team.

Otherwise, the feeling of not daring to eat food is really too aggrieved.

Several people praised while eating, and Jiang Zhiyue's younger brother Jiang Jiagoro said vaguely while eating noodles, ""

"Slippery... Mother, your cooking is really getting better and better now... Slip... It's almost time to catch up with the third aunt's craftsmanship. ”

There was laughter and laughter here, and the people of Jiangjia Village in front of them also stopped to prepare for dinner.

However, the food in their hands is limited, and few people cook at all, and most of them still take out the dry food cakes prepared in advance and nibble on a few bites, and then take two small sips of water to moisten their mouths and dare not eat again.

After eating the half of the cake that belonged to her, Jiang Daya, the daughter of Jiang Kangde's eldest son, leaned against the trunk of the tree and planned to squint for a while.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the Jiang family a few hundred meters away.

She suddenly came to her senses, patted her mother's arm and said, "Mother, do you see that there is the second grandfather's family behind it?" ”

Her mother looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw a bunch of figures not far away.

But look at what is covered on it like that?

Hmph, I'm really going to enjoy it.

She rolled her eyes and said, "I said I wouldn't follow the team, but I still followed." ”

"The second grandfather's family must have regretted it, my cousin did too much, and Hengrong will definitely not let them come back easily." Jiang Daya said proudly.

As Jiang Daya spoke, she heard her second aunt answer: "It's best not to come back, there will be a lot of dry food when you come back." ”

She was talking about her father-in-law, Jiang Kangde.

After speaking, he continued: "We came late this morning, do you know why that girl was kicked out of the team because of the quarrel?" ”

Jiang Daya's mother and daughter became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Aunt Jiang continued with an unhappy face: "Aunt Wu told me just now that they found food in the city last night and loaded a cart full of it. ”

"The grain was originally found in the city, and we came together, why did their family eat so much food alone."

"Besides, their family is full of food, how can there be a shortage of food, then the food should be given to us people."

"They didn't give us some food when they had food, and they also had the face to say that Jiang Yuchao was kind to our family, me, black-hearted things, the family is not a good thing."

As she spoke, Jiang Daya's third aunt also joined in, and her face was also painful when she heard this.

She said: "That is, we are honest, my father has to be with the second uncle, and we also left him two catties of grain, knowing that they had found so much food, and not a grain of rice should be given to them." ”

The more they talked, the more indignant they became, just like Jiang Zhiyue and they had done something heinous.

In the end, even Jiang Kangde's three sons were moved.

felt that his father had to follow Jiang Zhiyue's family, and he must have known that their family had found a lot of food.

There is such a good thing, and you don't even tell them about it!

Several people were angry in their hearts, and they felt more and more innocent.

Several people thought hatefully: when they want to return to the team, they must ask for more food from them.

In addition to them, there were many people who saw the Jiang family and his party following the team.

Everyone has different thoughts, some want to ask for food from the Jiang family, some gloat and watch jokes, and some proudly wait for the Jiang family to beg for mercy.

Even if there are some who think that the Jiang family is right, they don't dare to say anything for them now, in case they are also kicked out of the team, there is really no place to cry.

After resting for a while, Jiang Hengrong stood up and glanced in the direction of the Jiang family behind him, and snorted coldly.

Just a little girl dared to show his face again and again, and he waited for them to cry and beg for mercy.

When the time comes, it will be impossible to come back so easily.

Their thoughts, Jiang Zhiyue and the others didn't know anything.

Because they were discussing the next route.

Originally, their plan was to go east with the people of Jiangjia Village first, and then detour to the southeast in front of the fiefdom of the three princes.

Now that something like this is happening, they wonder if they can take a different route and stop being with them.

Fortunately, they had already made preparations in advance, and Jiang Yuchao had made a simplified version of the topographic map of the Wu Dynasty in the town school hall early.

Although there are many places that are not too detailed, they are enough for them.

Jiang Yuchao unfolded the topographic map and spread it on the ground, Jiang Zhiyue knelt on the ground, looking at the route on the topographic map, trying to choose a more suitable route.

The others also walked over to join in the fun after eating.

"We are just out of the county seat not far now, follow this road and continue to walk east for more than 100 kilometers to reach the boundary of Mizhou City, after Mizhou City, we will set off in the southeast direction."

"We've all gone to Mizhou City, why don't you just stay there, in the end, it's the prince's people, and the city should also take us in." Old man Jiang Kangde asked.

Jiang Zhiyue had never considered settling around Mizhou City for two reasons.

One is that there are locust plagues and ground movements in the counties around Mizhou, although she remembers that Mizhou is safe and sound, but the people affected by the surrounding disasters will definitely flock there.

If there are many people, if the government does not handle it well, it will easily lead to **, not to mention that even if the government is willing to accept so many people, there will definitely not be so many places to resettle.

The second and most important thing is that Mizhou is close to the fiefdom of the Four Princes.

The fourth prince is the male protagonist in the book, and his ambition is definitely not small, and now that the emperor is seriously ill, if he burps one day, he will definitely be the first to attack the third prince who has no mother's power.

When you go to Mizhou City, isn't it a sheep into the wolf's mouth?

When the time comes, the war will be chaotic, and you won't be able to hide if you want to.

However, Jiang Zhiyue still explained: "Grandpa, now there are disasters in many places in Mizhou, and everyone is crowding into Mizhou City, but the people that Mizhou City can accept are limited. ”

"So let's make a plan early, don't fight with others for that possibility, let's go to the south of the Wu Dynasty, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the generals of the territory will also guard the border well, there is no better place than that."

The others had no opinion on what Jiang Zhiyue said, but the old man Jiang Kangde's face was hesitant.

Listening to what Hengrong said a few days ago, they wanted to go to the fiefdom of the four princes or the periphery of the imperial city, if he went to the south, he would really never see those bastards again.

If you want to say how angry he was when he first set off, how hesitant he is now.

Although he is not angry, but in the end he is his own, and it is still a little reluctant to leave somewhat.

Thinking of what happened in the morning, the old man felt very sad.

The daughters-in-law sang and harmonized just to leave him alone, and the second daughter-in-law, don't think he doesn't know, the second daughter-in-law took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and wanted to push him down.

The last two catties of grain left are still a little moldy last year's old grain.

He sighed and said, "Grandpa, think about it." ”

Jiang Zhiyue nodded in agreement, knowing that this matter could not be forced.

After discussing the matter, the group looked up again, and the team in front of them had already left without knowing when they would leave.

They also began to pack their things and get ready to go, otherwise it would be dark in a few moments.

I don't know if they were walking too fast or if the group in front of them was walking too slowly.

In the evening, they met again.

But this time, Jiang Zhiyue asked them to drive the ox cart closer, and there happened to be a few rocks there, and they rested behind it.

Thinking of overtaking them early the next morning, he went ahead of them.

They parked the ox cart closer, and the people of Jiangjia Village spotted them at once.

However, no one dared to come here, and even Song Furong was stopped by her daughter-in-law when she saw that Zhang wanted to come over and say two words.

From afar, I saw them arguing a few words, but finally sat down.

Aunt Wu glanced at this side, walked to Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law and sat down.

"I'll just say, this person doesn't know that it's not okay to be soft, isn't this still Baba's follow."

Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law took his words and sneered: "It's not that a junior doesn't understand the rules so much, and the whole family is affected." ”

Both of them didn't like the Jiang family, they sang and sang one by one, and they didn't lower their voices at all, and even deliberately raised their voices in order to humiliate Jiang Zhiyue.

Mrs. Jiang listened to it in the back, and she couldn't even cook anymore, so she immediately wanted to pick up the spatula and give it to the two old women.

Two bullshit things dare to scold her precious granddaughter.
