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

Boss Jiang was overjoyed to be praised by his little girl, but he still had to pretend to be calm on the outside. He coughed lightly and waved his hand, "Go and see if you need anything. Daddy will call you when I leave."

"Okay, Dad."

Jiang Huaixu trotted to Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu.

"Yao Mei, I also want to go to town..." Jiang Wei said pitifully.

Jiang Huaixu: "Your feet don't hurt anymore?"

Jiang Wei pursed her lips and didn't want to speak anymore.

His eyes swept over the two of them, and Jiang Huaixu raised his fingers at them mysteriously.

"There is something important for you two to do."

Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu looked at each other and hurriedly approached.

The three of them whispered for a long time. It wasn't until Boss Jiang shouted loudly that Jiang Huaixu stood up: "Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Jiang Wei nodded one after another with bright eyes, her face full of excitement.

Jiang Fu looked hesitant, "Second cousin, what if I..."

Jiang Huaixu interrupted Jiang Fu's lack of confidence and said, "There is no such thing as an emergency. The worst is to fall out. It's okay for children to quarrel with each other. It won't have much impact on the two families. Don't worry too much."

As she said this, she threw a small cloth bag to Jiang Wei, "It contains mosquito repellent. Light it when you sleep. I'm leaving!"

After saying that, she ran towards Boss Jiang who was waiting for her.

"Dad, let's go!"

"Sister Xu, come here, daddy will carry you for a while." Boss Jiang squatted down as he spoke, but Jiang Huaixu quickly stopped him.

Boss Jiang was much more tired than she was after carrying food for a whole day, not to mention that she recovered her strength quickly.

"Dad, I can walk, don't worry. Let's hurry up, or it will get dark."

After being told this, Boss Jiang felt a sense of urgency in his heart and stepped forward.

After walking along the trail for more than half an hour, the two passed by a village. When it was time to have dinner, there was no smoke rising from the village. From a distance, they could see mud piled up at the door of the house facing the trail, submerging it. No one was cleaning the threshold, but the door was ajar.

Something strange flashed through Jiang Huaixu's heart. Unlike Shili Village, this village is a large village with higher terrain. It stands to reason that as long as the house does not collapse, you can avoid the flood by hiding in your own house. In this way, in this village It's a bit weird without the slightest breath of life.

[Tuanzi, is there anyone nearby? 】

[Are you talking about the living or the dead? 】Fu Tuan plucked his ears with his paw.

【Both. 】

[There are no living people, all dead. 】

Jiang Huaixu suddenly stopped.

"Dad, are you hungry?"

When Boss Jiang saw his little girl suddenly stop and stop walking forward, he took out two sausages and biscuits from the bag.

"Let's eat while we walk. You can take these."

Jiang Huaixu was slightly stunned. Every time she took out biscuits and sausages, they were distributed according to the head. Logically speaking, according to Boss Jiang's appetite, there wouldn't be so much left.

"Dad, didn't you finish what I gave you before?"

Mr. Jiang laughed heartily, "I'm used to eating pancakes. I'll leave these for you to eat. Take them quickly!"

As he spoke, he was about to stuff the intestines and biscuits into Jiang Huaixu's arms.

Jiang Huaixu's eyes were hazy for a moment. She remembered that when her family's conditions were not that good when she was a child, her parents seemed to have done the same thing and left all the delicious food to her.

Even though sometimes too much self-sacrifice of love can burden the recipient, it is undeniable that it is love.

"Dad, I took out these things just to eat with my family. If you don't eat, I will be sad." Jiang Huaixu said bluntly, "I went to ask for a drink of water. Think about it and you did the right thing." wrong."

Boss Jiang was stunned for a moment when he was told that. When he came to his senses, he saw that the little girl was already walking towards the house closest to them, and he hurriedly followed her.

He followed the little girl a little at a loss and whispered: "Sister Xu, it's Dad. Dad didn't think carefully. Alas. I just thought that if we eat up the food in the little house, I will Eat less, save more..."

"Dad, we are just escaping from a year of famine. The food in the small house is enough for us, so don't worry." Jiang Huaixu paused, "You wait outside first, I'll go in and see if anyone is there. "

Only then did Boss Jiang realize that the two of them had arrived outside the courtyard wall of a house on the edge of Niutou Village. He nodded in response.

Watching the little girl's back disappear at the door, he carefully put away the intestines and pancakes, took two steps forward, and looked into the yard.

At this sight, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he didn't know what was wrong.

At the same time, Jiang Huaixu, who walked into the yard, had already entered the family's main house. A thin old man was lying on the ground in the main house. She had been stabbed several times, and the blood under her body spread to the door. The color Has turned dark brown.

The smell of corpses had begun to fill the room. She covered her mouth and nose, squatted in front of the old man, and briefly checked her wounds. She found that the old man had been dead for about two or three days, and the wounds on his body were from stab wounds, not kitchen knives or daggers.

The time of death and the stab wounds on her body... She had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to draw any conclusions.

I checked the east and west rooms and found the bodies of three children. The children were not very old and were obviously the grandchildren of the old man.

Finally, I went out to the main house and looked into the kitchen, but no other bodies were found.

After leaving the kitchen, Jiang Huaixu saw Boss Jiang peeking in from outside the courtyard door. He saw her and asked hurriedly: "Sister Xu, how are you? Is there anyone?"

Jiang Huaixu walked quickly to Boss Jiang and said, "Dad, follow me."

She took Mr. Jiang's arm and came to the door, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she said something that made Mr. Jiang bold and scared -

"Dad, are you afraid of dead people?"

Boss Jiang was so frightened that he stammered, "S-Sister Xu, what are you talking about? Who is a good person who is not afraid of death?"

Jiang Huaixu:······I always feel like I’ve been hit by an arrow in my chest.

"Did something happen to this family? Did they drown?" Boss Jiang couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw his little girl's serious expression.

Just after the flood, it is not surprising that people died.

Jiang Huaixu nodded: "This family was wiped out. A mother-in-law and three children were hacked to death."

Boss Jiang was shocked, "What?!"

Before Boss Jiang could fully digest the news, Jiang Huaixu dropped another bombshell, "I suspect that everyone in this village has been poisoned."

"This this······"

Boss Jiang kept doing this for a long time without saying anything. His face turned red from suppressing it, and he finally stomped his feet and pulled Jiang Huaixu back.

Jiang Huaixu didn't even use three points of strength to pull Boss Jiang back, "Dad, we can't go back. Have you forgotten that we still have to go to town?"

"Then, let's go quickly, if we wait until it gets dark..." Boss Jiang looked at the shaky sun hanging on the horizon, and couldn't help but shudder, and goosebumps all over his body stood up.

"Let's go, let's hurry up. We'll go through this village and then walk a short distance to the town." He pulled Jiang Huaixu and started to walk forward.
