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

The men lifted or moved and took down many things - locked boxes, some valuable-looking ornaments, and even tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans.

The most numerous ones were chickens and ducks. They were hung up by their feet, tied to both ends of the poles, and carried by five or six people. In addition, three sheep were also led down.

Jiang Huaixu knew at a glance that the village chief's uncle believed her correctly. Everything she noticed but didn't notice was brought down.

Qian Xiuzhu took a look and saw that the leader was not there. She became anxious and asked Jiang Zhengmao: "Didn't everyone come down?"

Jiang Zhengmao waved his hand, "The bandits have hidden a lot of food and weapons behind this mountain. We have to make a trip later to transport everything out."

After speaking, he added: "There are several horses up there. I'm worried that there are too many things to carry. I'll take your two horses and a donkey as well. What do you think?"

Qian Xiuzhu was overjoyed and said, "Just wait, I'll bring it to you right away."

Prince Zheng, who had been listening for a while, exclaimed, "There is still food? How many evil things have these bandits done to hoard so many good things?!"

"If he doesn't have good things, why would he be a bandit?"

"That is to say, I will collect all their knives and everything else, and we will make them into iron pots from now on!"

Jiang Zhengmao shouted: "What good things are you thinking about? Why do you wait until those mountain people come back to get these things? There might be someone else's things in them!"

The man who said he wanted to make an iron pot smiled and said, "Yeah, I'll just think about it."

······

When Jiang Huaixu was free, he hugged Fu Tuan and basked in the sun leisurely. He stroked Fu Tuan's fur with his hands, and Fu Tuan also squinted his eyes in comfort.

When she heard that the villagers had gone to the back mountains, she remembered the sacks of grain packed in the space.

She didn't know how much food the bandits had hoarded, so she thought it wouldn't be much less. There are so many bandits. How could they stay in the mountains and become bandits without enough food?

Thinking like this, Jiang Huaixu decided not to take out the rice noodles in the space.

Having too much food is not a good thing, and it takes a lot of effort. She will have to do some tricks in the future to steal the food.

After thinking about it, Jiang Huaixu gradually became sleepy. She told Jiang Fu to call her later, lay back on the soft grass, and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she felt a slight vibration on the ground.

Putting his ear to the ground and listening carefully to make sure that he heard correctly, Jiang Huaixu woke up completely. In this case, a large group of people should be rushing towards them. Who could it be at this time? It would be terrible if they were bandits.

【what's the situation? 】

[It’s the army. 】

[Are they the same clothes as the previous army? 】

【no the same. 】

Jiang Huaixu stood up, said hello to Jiang Wei, and walked northeast along the valley.

Finding a higher place, she climbed up and looked into the distance, but saw nothing.

【how many people? 】

【561. 】Fu Tuan kindly reminds you, 【It is twice as much as yours. 】

Jiang Huaixu heard the gloating in Fu Tuan's tone and said calmly: "These people are not from Southern Xia. We will most likely not be able to fight, and we will disappoint you." 】

Fu Tuan snorted dissatisfiedly and said nothing more.

"Yao Mei, what are you looking at there?" Jiang Dalang shouted, "Come back for dinner!"

"Come here!"

Jiang Huaixu walked down the slope of the hillside step by step, jogged to Zheng Liniang's side, and took a bowl of porridge with more water than rice.

【Braised pork! 】Fu Tuan raised his head and looked at Jiang Huaixu.

[Wait a minute, I don’t have any eyesight, what kind of meat are there for so many people? Do you want people to snatch meat from you? 】

It wasn't her who was picky. Just after the second mistress said she could only give the girls porridge, her family took out the meat and ate it themselves. It was really unkind.

Fu Tuan walked away with his head down listlessly. Even Jiang Wei secretly fed him biscuits and couldn't cheer him up.

Jiang Wei looked distressed and ran to ask Jiang Huaixu, but Jiang Huaixu dismissed him because he didn't know cat language.

Before he finished the bowl of porridge, Jiang Huaixu heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

She stood up and reminded everyone, "There is the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the sound is quite loud."

The villagers listened carefully, and sure enough they heard the rumble of horse hooves.

Jiang Dazhuang and Jiang Fugui, who were entrusted by Jiang Zhengmao with the important task of protecting the villagers at the foot of the mountain, immediately comforted them: "Everyone, don't panic. Let's see what's going on first. What if it's not bandits who are here?"

Jiang Dazhuang, who looked calm on the surface but panicked in his heart, looked at Jiang Fugui's broken leg, gritted his teeth and was about to leave.

The fat wife held his sleeve to prevent him from leaving. As the two of them pulled, the villagers' voices became louder and louder. It was obvious that people's hearts were unstable.

Jiang Huaixu said: "Brother Da Zhuang, I'll go and take a look with you. Fat sister-in-law, don't worry too much. It's a blessing or a curse. You can't avoid it."

The fat wife glared at Jiang Huaixu.

But shut up! The more I talked, the more panicked I became.

In the end, the fat wife couldn't resist Jiang Dazhuang, and her favorite white flour pancakes were no longer attractive to the fat wife. She glanced at the direction where Jiang Dazhuang and Jiang Huaixu were leaving from time to time, and she couldn't taste the food in her mouth.

Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Dazhuang stood at a high place and could clearly see the flag raised high by the army, and they wrote a big word "Jin".

Jiang Dazhuang was illiterate, but he knew the attire of people in the army. After seeing clearly the clothes of the man on the horse in the front, he could not hide the joy on his honest face.

"Girl Xu, did you see that? These are not bandits, they are our Jin army!"

Jiang Huaixu nodded repeatedly, he saw it.

The army was marching very fast, and within a short time they were only ten feet away. Jiang Dazhuang suddenly panicked when he saw that the leader suddenly slowed down and kept looking towards them.

"They, they won't come to ask us questions, right? How can we do this? How can I have the courage..."

Looking down and seeing Jiang Huaixu, Jiang Dazhuang's eyes lit up, "Girl Xu, if you are eloquent, just say it when they ask you later, and I will help you supplement it. What do you think?"

Jiang Huaixu looked up at him, with the word 'speechless' clearly written in his eyes.

No matter how eloquent she is, she is only a nine-year-old child, and she knows many things that others don't know, and she has just emptied a prince's family.

Generally speaking, people who know too much and talk too much will not end well.

She couldn't change it, she could only avoid it. It was better to leave this kind of thing to someone with the right identity.

"Brother Da Zhuang, I'll call Uncle Lian. Just wait."

Jiang Dazhuang watched helplessly as Jiang Huaixu sat on the ground and slid down the hillside before disappearing. On the other side, a man in military uniform dismounted and walked toward him. He could only worry.

When Jiang Huaixu came back with Lian Sheng, Jiang Dazhuang was chatting happily with a soldier.

"...Master Jun, that is the Juren Master in our team. You can ask whatever you want."

Before the soldiers could reach Lian Sheng and Jiang Huaixu, Lian Sheng saluted. When Jiang Huaixu saw it, he also bowed and handed over.

"Master Lian, don't worry about these red tapes. Please tell me quickly how the situation in Huai'an Mansion is."
