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

Jiang Huaixu, who was in the town, had no idea that he was being watched.

After the father and daughter arrived in the town, they found that the doors and windows of every house in the originally lively town were closed. It was just dark, and not only could they not hear voices, but they could not see anyone holding a lamp. Under the darkness of the night, it was like an empty city, except for the sound of the wind. There was no more sound.

[Tuanzi, is there anyone nearby? 】

[Yes, they are all alive. 】

Jiang Huaixu felt relieved a little.

She has seen countless corpses in modern times, and she has become numb. In troubled times, human life is even more despised. She knows this, but seeing the tragedy is still unavoidable, and she can only catch what she wants to catch.

[Host, are you going to sleep on the street tonight? There is no one in the house on your right. 】

Hearing this, Jiang Huaixu stopped and said, "Dad, where should we wait for my sister-in-law...Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Boss Jiang beside her seemed to be shaking and walking a little stiffly.

"Dad, dad's a little cold -" Mr. Jiang's voice was trembling.

Jiang Huaixu thought for a while and decided to preserve the father's pride.

"Dad, have you told your sister-in-law's family about where to meet?"

"Say, it's agreed." Boss Jiang kept looking around, and he didn't forget to answer the little girl's question, "In the ruined temple on the east side of the town."

"Then let's go now."

Boss Jiang responded.

After taking just two steps, he paused and whispered to Jiang Huaixu: "Daughter, grab dad's clothes. If you're scared, call dad. Daddy wants to talk to you."

Jiang Huaixu couldn't bear to brush off Boss Jiang's kindness, so he could only reach out and grab the corner of his clothes, "Dad, if you're cold, let me find something for you to wear."

"Hey, don't--just talk to dad, and dad won't be cold anymore..."

Jiang Huaixu talked to Boss Jiang all the way.

The ruined temple was indeed ruined, almost half of it collapsed. The moonlight covered the ruined temple with a veil, adding to the desolation.

"My dear mother..."

Jiang Huaixu heard his father, who had always been steady, say these words tremblingly.

"Ahem...Daughter, don't go in yet. Dad, go in and see what's inside." He said and started to walk in.

Jiang Huaixu followed, "Dad, let's go in together. I'm strong, so I can take care of you no matter what happens."

Boss Jiang subconsciously grinned, but felt something was wrong, so he had to press down hard.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked into the ruined temple. Under the shining moonlight, they could vaguely see the situation in the ruined temple, but no third person was found. Jiang Huaixu lit up the fire and followed Boss Jiang in calmly.

"It seems that no one has come yet." Boss Jiang spread some damp straw in the corner on a relatively clean open space, spread his coat on it, and said to Jiang Huaixu, "Girl, we are here tonight Let’s just spend one night in a ruined temple, you can sleep and dad will keep vigil for you.”

Jiang Huaixu had important things to do, so of course he couldn't sleep.

"Dad, you go to bed first, I have to go out to do something big." Knowing that Boss Jiang would definitely stop him, she said quickly: "Mom, I said, after I come to town, I can do whatever I want, if you don't let me Go, I will complain to mother."

What Boss Jiang fears most is his wife. Hearing what his little girl said, he didn't dare to stop her. It was just the worries in his heart that kept him from making up his mind.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll be back soon. Here are the dagger and the fire stick. If you meet someone with evil intentions, use it to defend yourself. If it's cold, just light a fire. I'm leaving."

Putting the dagger and fire seal into Boss Jiang's hand, Jiang Huaixu stood up and left.

After she left, Mr. Jiang naturally couldn't sleep and would go out of the temple to check on her from time to time.

Jiang Huaixu was not familiar with Ping'an Town, and had heard from villagers that the rich households in the town gathered around West Street, so she rushed to West Street without stopping.

A quarter of an hour later, she stood in front of a house. This house was the most impressive in the whole street. The most important thing was that there was no one inside.

She wanted to come to the town because she thought that if there were many people fleeing from famine in the town, she might be able to pick up some unwanted items.

After Jiang Huaixu clearly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, he felt a cool breeze blowing after he saw clearly the situation of the family under the moonlight.

I saw that the fairly well-decorated yard in front of me was empty except for the lush vegetation, and had been moved cleanly.

As expected, she was not the only one who thought about picking up the missing items. Others had picked up what should have been picked up.

Tsk, it’s late.

[Host, there is a hole in the wall under the bed in the west room, and there is something hidden in the hole. 】

Jiang Huaixu didn't ask any questions and walked straight towards the place Fu Tuan said.

She directly moved the bed to a small gap, squeezed in with her small body, and touched an inconspicuous crack on the wall. With a little force, the hole Futuan mentioned appeared in front of her eyes.

Jiang Huaixu thought it was some kind of gold and silver treasure, but it turned out that there was only a letter inside.

[Dumpling——]

[Host, you have to believe in my strength! 】

[I believe in your ability to spend a lot of money and eat and drink a lot. ] After briefly complaining about Fu Tuan, Jiang Huaixu took out the shark beads for lighting, and then opened the letter.

The content of the letter was written by a friend of the owner of the house. It started by saying hello, how are you, I'm fine, etc., and in the middle was an analysis of the general trend of the world today.

The letter said that the old emperor's health was getting worse day by day, but the crown prince's position had not yet been decided, and the five princes were ready to move. Prince Duan was mediocre in temperament and ability among the five princes. He suddenly recruited young men to serve as private soldiers. He must have wanted to rebel. The people of Huai'an Mansion would definitely be miserable under his rule. He then gave a lengthy account of his indignation. Finally, he showed the host the way to Qianzhou under the rule of King Yan. King Yan was benevolent and had a good mind. All refugees going to Qianzhou would be properly resettled by him. It was the best place to go.

After reading it, Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but feel a little worried. The Cang family only had a few more years to live, and their buttocks were still hot. These unfilial descendants of the old emperor all wished that their father would die early and they would take the throne.

It's pity that they are a group of poor people fleeing from famine. They still have to stand in line. If they stand wrongly, their lives may be in danger...

They were all full and full.

Putting away the envelope, Jiang Huaixu looked around the room. The only thing left in the room was the bed in front of him that could not be moved. There was not even a table or bench left.

Come here.

After a while, the only bed in the room disappeared.

Adhering to the concept of a goose flying without leaving any hair, Jiang Huaixu collected all the useful things in the house, and also collected a few flowers, such as peonies and begonias, to earn some points, and then she climbed a few more The wall of each house.

Take away the chopped firewood; take away the millstone; take away the cart with missing boards; take away the hidden jewelry; take away the basket...

Feeling that it was almost done, Jiang Huaixu moved to the shops on the street. Most of the merchants were stingy in their pursuit of profit. Most of the unoccupied shops were empty. She stayed in a medicine shop for the longest time and found a lot of leftover medicine dregs. She felt that she was almost done. Then I stopped, and the night was very fruitful.

By the time Jiang Huaixu returned to the ruined temple, the moon had already set.

From a distance, I saw a man sitting at the door of the ruined temple, his head lowered little by little.

The autumnal equinox had just passed and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. The night wind was a bit chilly. Jiang Huaixu smiled and called "Dad."

"Huh?" Mr. Jiang opened his eyes vigorously and saw a little person standing in front of him. He instantly woke up after recognizing that it was the little girl.

He stood up in a hurry and said, "Daughter, why are you back so late?"
