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

"My mother just knocked on the door. Did you see he made any movement at first? The situation of the Sun family these days has been noticed by the villagers. Everyone is praising Sun San for his filial piety. Sun Da and Sun Er did not go up the mountain with him. Sun The fourth grandson and the fifth are good-for-nothings and they don’t care about anything. If the third grandson behaves better in front of the two elders, he will be able to share more in the future when the family is separated."

Jiang Wei felt dizzy, and when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Second cousin, is he a bad person?" Jiang Fu asked, blinking.

"He is overly thoughtful and can be considered selfish at best. How can he be a bad person?" Jiang Wei retorted, "His parents treat him so badly, but he can still be filial to them. He is considered a good person!"

Jiang Fu nodded ignorantly.

Jiang Huaixu shook his head, "People are complicated, not black and white. He is a person who values ​​interests. The two elders of the Sun family must know this. Do you think Sun San's father and mother have given Sun San a good look these days?"

"······Maybe not."

On the contrary, it was even worse. All the work was left to Sun San and his wife.

"The result is that Sun San and his wife have gained a reputation of filial piety, which contrasts with the reputation of his parents." Jiang Huaixu whispered, "If you think about it more deeply, his parents are treating his own family harshly, and it does not harm others. , if his parents are bullies running rampant in the countryside and they bully the villagers, if Sun San is filial to his parents, he is helping the bully."

At the end, she concluded: "Only sensible people like our parents should be filial. If parents are unkind and blindly filial, they will get their own retribution. This family must be very lively when the day of separation comes."

Hearing these words, Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu were dumbfounded. They had been taught to be filial to their parents and respect their elders since they were young. They had never heard of words like 'filial piety means helping others do evil'.

"Yao Mei, you can't say this to others, do you hear me?" Jiang Wei held on to Jiang Huaixu's sleeve and kept looking around.

Jiang Fu, on the other hand, listened thoughtfully and said, "Second cousin, I think what you said makes sense."

Jiang Huaixu nodded, "I think so too."

After saying that, he patted Jiang Wei's hand comfortingly, "Sister, use your brain and think carefully. Don't just say this is good and that is good. Otherwise, you will have to give out copper coins whenever you are cheated."

Jiang Wei was angry and ran away.

"First cousin..." Jiang Fu looked at Jiang Wei who was running away with worry.

"Don't worry, she will forget about it soon."

Jiang Huaixu also wanted to take advantage of this incident to make Jiang Wei more cautious, otherwise she would really worry that this sister would be abducted one day.

Half of the way out had been dug, and after looking at the injuries of several people, she found that the air in the cave seemed to be getting turbid. She squatted for a while and stood up suddenly, feeling that her brain was lacking oxygen.

Looking at the other people, there are varying degrees of fatigue on their faces.

There is an oxygen interstellar mall, but it is not suitable. Directly releasing it will only increase the air pressure in the cave.

After searching around, Jiang Huaixu found a plant from the interstellar world called Cuiyi Vine. This plant can absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen in a short time. The disadvantage is that the time must be grasped, in case it is left in the air for too long. For a long time, too much oxygen in the air will cause symptoms of 'oxygen drunkenness'.

After spending 16 points to buy a pot of green ripples, she walked to a dark and deserted corner and took out the green ripples from the space.

The dark green vine was seen twisting its slender figure in the space as if stretching. The moment it was placed on the ground, it immediately grew wildly along the cave wall, and soon it completely covered the cave wall in front of Jiang Huaixu.

Fortunately, the firelight was dim and the busy people would not notice it easily.

Fu Tuan reported the oxygen content in the cave in real time. When it was almost time, Jiang Huaixu took the Cui Yi Vine into the space.

Everyone continued to dig holes without realizing it.

After treating everyone's wounds, Jiang Huaixu simply counted three dead and eighteen wounded in total.

Not only that, the cows and mules tied at the door were also wiped out.

It can be said to be a heavy loss.

It has been two or three hours since the mudslide occurred, and it must have been bright outside. However, everyone's minds were tense due to the sudden change, and they did not dare to relax for a moment.

After digging for another two hours, a passage was finally created that could only be used by one person.

The old people, women, and children took all their luggage that they could carry, and threw whatever they couldn't carry directly into the cave. After they were ready, they lined up and walked out of the cave.

As for the young men who dug the hole, they stayed in the hole and buried the bodies of the three dead people before going out.

It was still raining outside the cave, but it was just a light rain.

"I finally came out. I can't breathe inside." Jiang Wei let out a long breath.

Jiang Sanlang wiped the rain off his face, and the young man who had never known what sorrow was frowned at this moment, "The rain hasn't stopped yet, and the village has been flooded. It will be terrible if we can't find a place to stay at night. There may be wild animals in the woods..."

"Third brother, please stop talking, my heart feels so cold."

Jiang Wei clutched her chest and looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Speak well, where did you learn all this nonsense!" Qian Xiuzhu patted Jiang Wei's forehead.

Jiang Wei covered her head and was unconvinced, "I learned it from Yaomei!"

"what ever!"

Jiang Wei:······

Jiang Huaixu watched silently without speaking.

After everyone came out of the cave, the village chief led the villagers to bow three times in front of the cave entrance.

After all the hard work, he finally saved his life. Although the death of others affected everyone's emotions to a certain extent, they also knew that there was a long road ahead. In order to survive and for the future, they still had to look forward.

The village chief is also very confused about the way forward.

He thought for a long time, cleared his throat and said: "Everyone has seen it too. Now we have only two choices. Either wait on the mountain until the flood recedes, or flee. Going south or north is also a question. You all Tell me what you think."

"How can we escape from famine? The roots of our Jiang family are all in Shili Village. How can we live up to our ancestors if we really go to escape from famine!"

"What's the use of saying this when people can't live anymore? What's the use?"

"Village chief, let's stay in the mountains for two more days. If the rain stops and the flood recedes, we won't have to leave our hometown!"

"Yes, yes, so many people are injured, where can they escape?"

······

After discussing for a long time, the village chief decided to find another hiding place on the mountain.

Qian Xiuzhu and Boss Jiang looked at each other without stopping.

The two had talked in detail about the drought, military chaos and military service. They felt that staying in Shili Village and Fuyun Mountain was not a long-term solution. They had made preparations to escape the famine two or three months in advance. The sudden flood interrupted the two months. People's plans.

Originally, hiding in the mountains and forests was a way out in times of disaster, but the danger in Fuyun Mountain was not only the large number of ferocious beasts, but also the fact that beyond Fuyun Mountain was the border between the Jin Dynasty and Southern Xia.

According to the elders in the village, Southern Xia people have never been afraid of beasts, snakes and insects.

In her dream, Qian Xiuzhu heard that the reason why the imperial court was in a hurry to recruit troops was that the Nanxia people took advantage of the civil unrest in the Jin Dynasty and attacked directly through Fuyun Mountain.

In the end, he was almost stopped by troops sent by the imperial court.

The situation was not so bad that they had to flee. Staying in Fuyun Mountain was also a way out, so they remained silent.

Finally, the villagers decided to settle down in the mountains.

The village chief began to worry about where everyone lived again. He was worried and suddenly found that the rain was getting lighter and lighter, and finally stopped.
