Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

When he was woken up the next day, Jiang Huaixu was still too sleepy to open his eyes.

Qian Xiuzhu woke up the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter, found their clothes, and warned: "I know you are sleepy. There is a carriage now. You can squeeze in the carriage later and you can sleep."

Jiang Wei asked in confusion while putting on her coat: "Mom, doesn't the carriage pull anything?"

"One pulls people and the other pulls things. We have a lot of people, plus your second grandma's Tianya and Xiaofeng, and there are many children. It will save trouble to free up a carriage for you."

A quarter of an hour later, the two sat on the carriage. Jiang Huaixu looked at Jiang Wei on the left, and then at Tianya on the right. One or two people sat in one carriage... six people, oh no, seven. There was also Yun Qi driving a carriage. It was indeed crowded, but it was much better than walking on legs.

Staggering, Jiang Huaixu fell asleep again. When I woke up again, I felt so shaken that I felt like vomiting.

Seeing that Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu were not in the carriage, she also got out of the carriage and asked Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Liniang to have a rest.

Even if the roads in ancient times were repaired, they were often full of potholes. Riding a carriage at this time was simply a pain, and you could spit out your overnight meal if you were not careful.

But after walking for a long time, it’s good to sit on it and take a rest.

Then came another long trek, and a minor incident happened on the way - Zheng Gouzi died.

Li Qiufen, who was half-clothed, had a livid face, sunken eyes, and her exposed skin was shriveled and thin, mixed with many scars. Like a zombie, she pulled Zheng Gouzi's body step by step in front of the villagers.

Sitting on the ground, she seemed to be laughing and crying, accusing the people of Zhengjia Village of accusing Jiang Huaixu, and cursed everyone in her mouth. Finally, she took a sharpened branch and inserted it straight into herself. throat.

This scene caused many children in the village to have nightmares for several days in a row. Jiang Wei even vomited it out on the spot. For the next few days, she felt weak and her appetite was not as good as usual.

Jiang Huaixu knew that Li Qiufen was following Boss Meng, but she did not follow up on what happened after Boss Meng's death.

From Li Qiufen's confusing words, we can tell that she and her daughter were abused by Boss Meng's younger brothers. In the end, Zheng Damao's family took advantage of the chaos and left with Li Qiufen's daughter, leaving only Li Qiufen to guard Zheng Gouzi until Zheng Gouzi breathed his last.

Jiang Huaixu felt that Li Qiufen's mother and son's obsession was really weird, so why did they take her so seriously? Neither Zheng Gouzi nor Li Qiufen touched them, but she was the one who got shot in the end.

But the matter ends here.

After walking for two days, they arrived at Yaozhou, the first city in Jinzhao Mansion.

At first, we couldn't see anything even if we were far away. However, the closer we got to the city gate, the more people there were. Finally, everyone discussed and stopped going any further.

Along the way, they encountered many people suffering from typhoid fever. Jiang Huaixu saw for one person that it was typhus that was more likely to be prevalent during rat plagues.

When the head of the Lian family, Lian Sheng, heard about this incident, he asked people to make masks overnight, and the whole family covered them tightly.

It was an early autumn day, but the heat was not low during the day. The second daughter of the Lian family suffered from heat stroke while holding her hands. Jiang Huaixu was invited to see the second daughter of the Lian family. He made three bean drinks to cool down, and even talked to the fifth daughter of the Lian family. The lady established a good relationship.

Let's put this matter aside for the time being. In short, they and the Lian family are extremely nervous when meeting people, let alone so many people.

The motorcade retreated a certain distance. Jiang Huaixu stood on the carriage and looked out into the distance. The clear sky and white sun showed that if the refugees could enter the city, they would have entered the city long ago. Now it seems that the city does not accept refugees and the refugees can only be stranded at the gate of the city.

But it is very dangerous for too many people to gather at the city gate. In the event of a stampede or riot, casualties will inevitably occur.

We found an open space and everyone rested there for the time being.

"Master, take your people and ask if you can enter the city. Don't be afraid of paying. As long as you can get news about our girl, spending some money is nothing."

Jiang Huaixu moved his ears, jumped up to Qian Xiuzhu and Boss Jiang and said, "Father, mother, I also want to go to the city."

Jiang Wei was not far behind, "Father, mother, and Yaomei come in, so will I."

Jiang Sanlang: "Father, mother..."

Boss Jiang stared: "What are you making fun of?"

"Why do you think so many people are outside the city? Because they can't get in." Qian Xiuzhu said, "If I have to pay for entering the city, can you afford it?"

Jiang Huaixu raised his hand, "I have it."

Jiang Sanlang endured it again and again, "Mom, Sister Wei and I have all our money in your hands..."

Qian Xiuzhu glared, "Do you want to get a wife?"

Jiang Sanlang:······He doesn’t want to marry a wife now!

But I dare not say it.

Finally, under the powerful power of Qian Xiuzhu and Jiang Boss, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei retreated.

"Sister Xu, what do you want to do when you go to the city?"

"Dad, let me help you find your aunt."

In one sentence, Qian Xiuzhu and Boss Jiang were defeated.

Before leaving, Yun Qi approached Jiang Huaixu and whispered, "I'm with you."

Jiang Huaixu looked at him, "You want to go to the city?"

Yun Qi nodded.

Jiang Huaixu thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "I will pay it back when I get to Qianzhou."

Yun Qi nodded gently with a cold face.

The Lian family guards who were investigating the news then brought the news that five taels of silver were needed to enter the city, and they had to leave the city before closing the city gate at night.

Hearing the news, Boss Jiang felt very distressed, but he felt distressed because he still had to enter the city.

Not many people in the village went to the city, only Jiang Miao and the fat wife's men, so the five of them went to the city together with the Lian family for shopping.

After paying the money at the city gate, the group was inspected by the soldiers one by one before entering the city gate. Suddenly fifteen taels of silver were gone. Boss Jiang's flesh ached so much that Jiang Huaixu could only comfort him in a low voice.

"Dad, I have to buy something later, and I can't even do it if you're like this."

Boss Jiang's heart skipped a beat. He had seen his little girl spending money like water. His voice suddenly changed, "What? Girl, what do you want to buy? Is there anything we don't have?"

"Buy medicinal materials. What if someone among us gets infected with typhoid fever? There is also food. My sister asked me to bring her some food back. I also want to buy a bullock cart so that you and your eldest brother don't have to take turns pushing the boards. The car is gone..."

The men with Jiang Miao and the fat wife on the side became more and more frightened as they listened. Uncle Jiang/Eldest Brother’s family is prosperous. Is this so? Where did you get so much money while escaping?

Boss Jiang also touched his chest, "Daughter, you'd better tell me how to find your aunt."

In fact, Jiang Huaixu hasn't thought about it yet. They can only stay in the city for half a day. They don't know if Jiang Tao is in Yaozhou City. How easy is it to find someone?

"Dad, are you sure Aunt Jiang Tao is in Yaozhou City?"

Boss Jiang nodded, "It is said that your uncle has relatives in Yaozhou City. I don't know where he lives. He just said that he is in the most lively place in Yaozhou City."

The busiest place?

Jiang Huaixu looked around. Yaozhou was not as prosperous as Zhangzhou, but it was still a good place. Perhaps the invasion of the Southern Xia people had not yet affected Yaozhou, so there was no tense atmosphere in the city, and the street in front of them was very lively.

She was not familiar with ancient cities, so she could only find someone familiar with her: "Yun Qi, where is the busiest place in a city like this?"

Yun Qi lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then moved the corner of his mouth and said quickly: "Tea House Restaurant, Qin House and Chu House."
