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

Chapter 43 Going up the mountain to escape the flood

Before going to bed, Jiang Huaixu bought a lot of supplies in the mall, most of which were medicines, including cold and fever medicines for children and adults, stomach medicines, band-aids, gauze, alcohol, etc. Others are self-defense equipment, such as daggers, electric batons, crossbows, pistols, and anesthetics.

This time she only slept for two hours before she was woken up.

There seemed to be no sound of rain outside, only the sound of adults talking.

"Let's go up the mountain quickly, it's too late if it's too late!"

"The road to town is flooded..."

"The terrain here is high, so the water rises slowly. The water at the east end of the village is up to adults' waists. We can take advantage of the light rain to go up the mountain."

······

After a period of excitement, Jiang Huaixu came to the big locust tree in front of the door with his eyes wide open.

"Sister Axu, look there is water all over there!"

Tianya hugged one of Jiang Huaixu's arms, raised her feet and looked into the distance. This was the first time in her life that she had seen such a scene, and she was completely shocked.

In the faint morning light, the road they usually led to the village was sparkling. Someone was wading in the water, and the water directly covered their calves.

Jiang Huaixu yawned, touched her head, and told her, "Follow me on the road and don't run around."

Tianya nodded obediently. Grandpa had to carry things and carry his brother on his back. Grandma also had to carry food on her back. She had to be obedient and not cause trouble to the adults.

Jiang Huaixu pinched Tianya's little face and shook his head. Feeling more awake, he looked at the crowd around him.

Most of the people who gathered up the mountain this time were members of the Jiang clan, including Uncle Niu's family. There were only about twenty families in total, which was not a lot.

In fact, people have left the village one after another since the day before yesterday, mostly to go to relatives. It can be said that there are not many people staying in the village anymore.

At this moment, everyone present looked sad. The crops in the fields were flooded and there would definitely be no harvest. I don’t know if I have to pay this year’s taxes...

Due to the sudden death of Old Man Jiang, everyone in the Jiang family had linen tied around their waists, and the air pressure around them was several degrees lower than that of the people next to them.

Jiang Huaixu glanced at someone inadvertently.

She poked Jiang Erlang's back, and when he lowered his head to look at her, she raised her hand to signal him to look in one direction.

"Second brother, Fatty Sun and his family are also here."

Jiang Erlang only glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze, explaining in a low voice: "I have nothing to do with her, and this is related to the reputation of my daughter's family and is not a trivial matter."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

He didn't know why he made Yaomei misunderstand what he had with Sun Pangya.

"I want you to be on guard against her and try not to come into contact with her if possible." Jiang Huaixu reminded her in a low voice.

Jiang Erlang's eyes flashed, knowing that her words must not be groundless, he immediately nodded in agreement.

After reminding Jiang Erlang, Jiang Huaixu noticed the sisters Jiang Fu and Jiang Rong again.

Their identities were awkward, and Jiang Rong was too young. It would be difficult for Jiang Fu to take her up the mountain alone.

Jiang Huaixu wanted to see what Jiang Fu could do.

Seeing that no one was coming, the village chief Jiang Zhengmao said loudly: "Let's go up the mountain now. Everyone, please pay attention to your steps and be careful not to fall behind!"

After saying this, the team started to move a little bit.

Although the Jiang family bought oxen and carts, the carts were useless when going up the mountain. The road was muddy and narrow, making it impossible to pass. Therefore, they only allowed the oxen to carry a few bags of grain and large luggage, and the rest of the luggage was carried on their shoulders. Carry.

It was no secret in the Jiang family that Jiang Erlang was very strong, so he had a lot of things in his hands, while Jiang Wei and Jiang Huaixu had clothes and bedding wrapped in oilcloth.

Jiang Huaixu didn't push for the limelight. She was more vigilant on the road and it was good to help whenever there was a situation.

The only thing was that the mud on the way up the mountain was beyond her imagination. She was fine with it, but the team moved at a turtle speed.

In this way, with the help of Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei from time to time, Jiang Fu with Jiang Rong could barely keep up.

After daybreak, it began to rain lightly again. Jiang Huaixu wiped the rain off his face, picked up Tianya that was stuck in the mud, and looked up to the heights.

The place they were going to this time was a large cave closest to the village. Jiang Huaixu also knew that this cave could accommodate about a hundred of them.

But Uncle Niu said that it had been raining for days, and there should be some wild animals hidden in the cave. Hare, pheasant and the like were okay, but it would be serious if it was a wild beast, so they had to be ready for a fight after going up.

After climbing over the back mountain, everyone came to the foot of Fuyun Mountain. Jiang Huaixu stepped on the soil and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In this kind of weather, mudslides are most likely to occur on the mountain. Fortunately, the road up the mountain is gentle, so you have time to react even if there is danger.

"The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. Let's walk faster. We're almost there!"

the village chief shouted loudly.

So everyone continued on their way.

Jiang Huaixu glanced at Jiang Fu and Jiang Rong, who seemed to have just been fished out of the mire. Jiang Fu's face was pale, and Jiang Rong's face was flushed, which was abnormally red.

Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei helped the two sisters a lot, but they were ordinary people after all. Just traveling alone was enough to consume their energy, so they couldn't help all the time.

"Your sister has a fever."

Jiang Fu was stunned and looked up to find that Jiang Huaixu was talking to her, her face getting paler.

She touched her sister's forehead randomly, becoming more and more at a loss.

"How to do how to do······"

Jiang Huaixu threw his luggage containing thin bedding and clothes to Jiang Fu and picked up Jiang Rong himself.

[Duanzi, help me shake a bottle of children's antipyretic medicine and open the cap. 】

Fu Tuan lazily raised his eyelids. He didn't eat any of the cake the host drew for him before, and now he still wants him to do things and dream!

[I am saving people and can collect data. 】Jiang Huaixu reminded.

Fu Tuan's eyes suddenly opened wide. So far, it has only collected the data of the host, and it can hardly hold its head up among the generals.

[Host, this group is coming right now! 】

Soon a bottle of ibuprofen suspension appeared in Jiang Huaixu's hand. She moved closer to Jiang Erlang and quickly fed the medicine to Jiang Rong. Seeing that the little girl didn't spit out the medicine, she put the remaining medicine back into the space.

Jiang Erlang on one side watched the whole process, silently covering up Jiang Huaixu with his luggage.

Nothing he saw was strange now.

Jiang Huaixu carried Jiang Rong all the way up the mountain, which was nothing to her. On the way, she asked Futuan to scan Jiang Rong's body data and secretly took blood from Jiang Rong's fingertips as a reward.
