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

"Don't talk nonsense about fairies or not." Seeing that there was no one around, Qian Xiuzhu lowered her voice and said, "We know she is good, but do outsiders know? They don't know, can they tell the difference between a fairy and a monster? This matter Only you, me, and Erlang know about my son, so he must die in his stomach."

"Did Da Lang ask you about the cake and intestines? If they ask you in the future, just say that I prepared it. With me as my mother in front, Sister Xu won't attract too much attention."

Boss Jiang was also worried about Qian Xiuzhu, but he knew that his wife had made up her mind and would not change it easily, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

On the last night, except for the night watchman, everyone packed up their things and went to bed early. After all, it was the last peaceful night, and they had to have a good rest. After this night, I don't know what year of the monkey and horse month it will take before I can sleep peacefully.

At Mao hour the next day, the sound of the gong sounded through the forest, waking everyone up.

"Everyone, wake up! I'll give you half an hour to pack up, and then we'll set off over the mountain!"

The village chief's shouts could not be heard. Jiang Huaixu slowly moved out of the tent and looked up at the sky, his eyes hurting from the morning light falling through the leaves.

Jiang Wei called her, "Yao Mei, wash your face and rinse your mouth quickly, we have to leave soon!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Huaixu stood in the crowd and listened to the village chief repeating the precautions.

When they were about to leave, an old man burst into tears looking at the scene at the bottom of the mountain. When one person raised his head, others began to cry.

Others knelt down and kowtowed to the foot of the mountain.

The village chief also had tears in his eyes and choked with sobs: "You all join me in bowing down again. I hope our ancestors will bless us in this journey. In the future, if there are any promising sons in our Jiang family, we will definitely re-establish the ancestral hall and let the incense continue." .”

Everyone knelt down in the direction of Shili Village and started to set off after kowtowing.

Each family carried it on their back or carried it. Even if they tried to save as much as possible, it still looked difficult. The mountain road was difficult to navigate. Although there were two young and strong men leading the way, they still had to be nervous in case a poisonous snake or something jumped out from the grass. It can kill people.

After only walking for a short while, Jiang Huaixu used the excuse of having a stomachache to get into the forest and rush towards the camp.

When she came to a place where people in the village threw things, she didn't care what she got, and put all the objects in her hands into the space.

After collecting almost everything, she rushed back to the team without stopping.

"Yao Mei, why are you so slow? If you don't come back, I will stop and wait for you!" Jiang Wei straightened Jiang Huaixu's hair hanging around her lips.

Jiang Huaixu took the bundle of clothes, nodded calmly at Qian Xiuzhu, and said, "My stomach hurts, so please slow down."

"I asked you why you turned back three times a step, and you thought you were so lazy that you started to get tired after taking only two steps!" Jiang Sanlang laughed extra loudly, "Yao Mei is smart, even if we go far away, she can still follow the traces to find us. Come here, you better be careful and be careful in everything you do!"

Jiang Wei was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but Jiang Dalang stopped him, "We are on our way, don't make trouble."

Then he said to Jiang Sanlang: "Third brother, if you feel relieved, go and help your parents."

Jiang Sanlang shook the quilt on his back and did not dare to talk anymore.

The team was not disturbed and continued to move forward.

At first, everyone chatted a few words from time to time, but as the sun rose higher and higher, no one had the time to talk anymore.

After walking for about two hours, the village chief asked everyone to stop.

"Rest on the spot for half an hour to fill our stomachs. At this rate, we can go down the mountain in another three hours. After we get down the mountain, we will find a place to rest first and send one person from each household to go there tomorrow. Let’s get some carts back to town.”

Someone asked: "Village chief, is there anyone still selling carts in this town?"

"Regardless of whether there is one or not, we have to go and take a look. Maybe the blind cat has encountered a dead mouse."

One sentence blocked everyone's mouths.

Jiang Huaixu sat under the shade of a tree, eating some wolf jerky with a newly made rough dough pancake.

"Sister, Rourou."

Jiang Rong looked longingly at the few dried meats Jiang Fu put aside, her eyes full of longing.

Jiang Fu was making pancakes for Jiang Rong to eat. Without soaking, the pancakes would be too hard and it would be too hard for Jiang Rong's millet teeth to eat.

"The meat is too hard. Sister Rong, can you fill up your stomach first?" She handed a piece of soaked pancake to Jiang Rong's mouth and coaxed in a low voice.

They eat more meat during these days than they did before the disaster, which is already very good.

Jiang Rong was very obedient. Even though her dark eyes could not move away from the dried meat, she still opened her mouth obediently to eat the pancake.

When Jiang Huaixu saw this, he reached out and rubbed Jiang Rong's head, took out the sausage wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Fu.

"Sister Rong can't eat dried meat, so let her eat this. If she doesn't have any more, ask your aunt for it."

Jiang Rong was young, but she was very sensible. She didn't cry or fuss along the way. She would walk for a while even if her short legs were struggling to walk, which was very worry-free.

Along the way, Jiang Huaixu hugged her frequently. He thought he was pleasant-looking and amiable, but the little girl seemed a little afraid of her and rarely moved when she was holding her.

"Second cousin, how can this be done?" Jiang Fu hurriedly waved her hands to refuse.

Although she didn't know where the weird and delicious cakes and intestines came from, the eldest aunt didn't hide them from them at all. She was already very grateful, how could she ask for food from her second cousin again?

Jiang Huaixu held her hand and said, "You can continue, Sister Rong is still young."

After that, he added, "Sneaky, watch her finish eating, don't let others see."

After accepting the intestine, Jiang Fu nodded with tears in her eyes, "I understand, second cousin."

When Jiang Yao saw this scene from a distance, her eyes couldn't help but twinkle. She had never lacked anything to eat on weekdays, so she was really not used to having to eat and sleep outdoors in such a cold weather.

The dumb family is really lucky. They can catch wolves, pheasants, and hares, but no one in her family has this ability.

She became angry when she thought of this, and sighed at Jiang Zhou who was eating a rough flour pancake, "Second brother, can't you learn to hunt from your second cousin, so that your sister and I can get some credit?"

After a pause in stuffing the pancakes, Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes at Jiang Yao. He and Jiang Erlang were usually the best, and he had no idea when Jiang Erlang learned to hunt.

"You said it easily, why don't you learn it yourself?"

"You..." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Huaixu being called away by Jiang Wei. Jiang Yao did not continue, "Humph, I'm too lazy to tell you."

She stood up, patted the grass clippings on her body, and walked in the direction of Sister Jiang Fu.

"Sister Fu, why are you following your uncle? Where are your parents?" Jiang Yao squatted in front of the two sisters and asked.

Jiang Fu was a little surprised by Jiang Yao's question.

She thought her parents didn't want them, and everyone knew about leaving alone.

In the past, she had not much contact with Jiang Yao, and they got along quite harmoniously. Since her parents left, the two have not spoken much. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao's first question to her was this.

"My sister and I will follow my uncle's family from now on." She bit her lip, her face full of stubbornness.
