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

Soon Jiang Huaixu had no time to take care of Boss Meng and his party. The next state capital after leaving Huai'an Prefecture was Jinzhao Prefecture. For some unknown reason, the number of refugees along the way was increasing, and most of them were exhausted, but they still insisted on moving forward.

After asking, I found out that it was the Nanxia people who came here. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil along the way.

Now the Nanxia people are still in Huai'an Prefecture, and they don't know when they will attack Jinzhao Prefecture. Therefore, those who can escape from Huai'an Prefecture are rushing to Jinzhao Prefecture. They travel day and night and catch up with them directly.

The more people there are, the more things will happen.

Fortunately, the men and half-grown teenagers in their team all held bows and arrows, and they would also arrange for people to keep watch during the night break. Therefore, even if someone wanted to take advantage of their team, they had no idea after observing them for a day or two.

In order not to attract attention, Jiang Huaixu stopped teaching Jiang Erlang how to practice martial arts every day. He only asked Jiang Wei and others to learn a few words every day and take the exam the next day.

In the remaining time, she asked Fu Tuan to scan the people or teams near the team.

The sweep did allow her to clear out a lot of doorways. Most of these people were ordinary people, except for Boss Meng and his party and a wealthy family.

This family had carriages, guards and even servants, but they walked very slowly, just behind their team. I don’t know if they saw that they were not easy to mess with or if they didn’t bother to interact with them. I didn’t communicate with them along the way. Taking away from the dust and embarrassment of others, these people are comparable to an outing.

They were the most eye-catching along the way.

Not only that, Jiang Huaixu also learned why Boss Meng and his group were so weird. Except for Boss Meng and his dozen or so younger brothers, the remaining men, women, and children were all refugees they captured. All the food they brought with them was pocketed by Boss Meng. In order to survive, the men had to find some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, while the remaining women, old and young were taken into custody and used as hostages.

Jiang Huaixu had heard of such a thing. If he goes to the end of the road and has no food to eat, these people may become rations.

That night, they waited until it was completely dark before they heard Village Chief Jiang banging the gong and shouting, "Rest where you are."

The villagers who have long been accustomed to walking forty or fifty miles a day no longer complain as much as before when they stop. Except for the younger children who still cry a little, the rest of them start to set up pots as soon as they stop. Eat.

Jiang Huaixu walked to the pot where his sister-in-law was cooking, opened the lid and saw, ah, wild vegetable cakes and wild vegetable soup.

The wild vegetable soup, which had an egg in it at first, now doesn't even have an egg in it.

There was not much wolf jerky left. For the sake of the future, Qian Xiuzhu asked Jiang Huaixu to put the jerky into the space.

She had been so hungry that her chest was touching her back, but when she saw this food, she couldn't eat it.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Zheng Liniang asked when she saw Jiang Huaixu looking at the wild vegetable cake in a daze.

"Sister-in-law, let me go find if there is anything to eat nearby."

The crops in the planting space were growing well, and the potatoes and peanuts were almost ready for harvest. She asked the planting robot to dig them out to see how they were doing.

Zheng Liniang looked at the dark surroundings and felt uneasy, "It's so dark, it's better not to go. There are many people in front of us, and they might even have dug up the wild vegetables."

"Sister-in-law, I'm very lucky, just let me go!" Jiang Huaixu shook Zheng Liniang's arm and said coquettishly, "Anyway, the food isn't ready yet. I'll go with my second brother and we'll be back soon."

Zheng Liniang was so shaken that she had no choice but to look at the approaching mother-in-law as if asking for help.

"As long as Erlang is with her, nothing will happen. Let her go."

Jiang Huaixu smiled "hehe" at Qian Xiuzhu, picked up the small backpack, called Jiang Erlang and left.

The two of them walked to a place far away from the crowd in a tacit understanding before speaking.

"Second brother, let's go a little further. The things I will take out later are grown in the soil. Let's find a small area and turn over the soil. Even if others see it, they won't notice anything."

"Okay." After accepting, Jiang Erlang asked again, "Are they the sweet potatoes from before? People in the village have seen these two things before, but we are the only one to find them, which may make people suspicious."

Jiang Huaixu thought about it, and it made sense.

"Then I'll bring out something else."

The two of them walked to a deep ditch. Jiang Huaixu looked inside and found that there was no water and only some weeds growing inside.

"It's far away from the crowd, right here."

As she spoke, she squatted down, put one hand on the ground, and jumped down into the ditch.

"Slow down, don't get hurt."

Stepping on the soft ground, Jiang Huaixu clapped his hands and looked up at Jiang Erlang, "I'm fine. Second brother, don't come down. Stay up there and help me look out for the wind."

Jiang Erlang paused, a little annoyed that he didn't bring a torch so that he could see the situation at the bottom of the ditch clearly.

Jiang Huaixu at the bottom of the ditch had already started to move. She took out all the peanut seedlings with peanuts pulled out by the planting robot, picked the peanuts and put them into the basket.

The peanuts grown in the planting space are abundant and plump, which looks very pleasing to the eye. Although they are still a little tender, the tender peanuts do not need to be peeled and can be boiled directly in the shell. Just add some salt to make salted peanuts. They are tender and fragrant when eaten, and go well with wine. most.

Thinking about it, she peeled a peanut, not caring about the dirt on her hands, blew it a little and stuffed it into her mouth. Something she hadn't tasted for a long time was imported again, and it was delicious no matter what.

After picking half of the basket of peanuts, Jiang Huaixu felt that it was almost done. She took out a small hoe, picked a nearby piece of land, hoeed it casually, and kicked the peanut seedlings away with her feet.

After making a good disguise, she put the basket on her back and stretched out her hand to Jiang Erlang, "Okay, second brother, pull me up."

With the help of Jiang Erlang, Jiang Huaixu climbed up from the bottom of the ditch without any effort.

She took out a peanut from her basket and asked Jiang Erlang: "Second brother, have you seen this?"

Jiang Erlang took the basket, took the peanuts and looked at them carefully for a moment, "I've never seen them before."

There are no peanuts in this world? Jiang Huaixu didn't dwell on the matter and said to Jiang Erlang: "Peel the shell and try it. This tastes delicious."

The two of them walked towards the camp while eating.

"Mom, sister-in-law, we found something!" Jiang Huaixu ran to Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Liniang and whispered.

When I spread my little hand, the two round peanuts on it looked very pleasant.

"What is this?" Zheng Liniang asked curiously.

Jiang Huaixu explained: "There is a picture of it in my medical book. It is called peanut. It can be washed, boiled and eaten with the shell. Just add some salt."

She secretly added some five-spice powder to make it more delicious.

"There are also paintings in Yaomei's medical books? No wonder he knows so many things." Zheng Liniang was slightly surprised. Without further delay, she picked up the basket and went to wash the peanuts.

When Jiang Wei and Jiang Sanlang, who were eating wild vegetable cakes, heard what they said, they suddenly felt that the wild vegetable cakes in their hands were particularly irritating, and they went to help Zheng Liniang wash the peanuts very diligently.

Now that she had something else to eat, Jiang Huaixu no longer disliked the wild vegetable pancake, so she picked up a pancake and prepared to sacrifice it to her empty temple of five internal organs, when a noisy quarrel came from the crowd in the southwest.

She was eating pancakes and watching the excitement as she ran toward the southwest without bothering to do anything about it.

"You can watch all the excitement, and you won't be afraid of being abducted by human traffickers." Yun Qi said coolly as he followed behind her.

After finishing the last bite, Jiang Huaixu put the mask pulled up to his chin back on and said solemnly: "This time is different."

She said to Jiang Erlang, who was also following her: "Second brother, do you remember what I told you about Boss Meng before?"

"remember."

"That group of people is causing trouble." Jiang Huaixu gloated, "This excitement must be very exciting. Please wear your masks."

By the time the three people arrived, a lot of people had already gathered around them. They did not push forward, but stood on a rock from a distance and watched.

Jiang Huaixu was short and could not see clearly even though he was standing on the rocks, so he had to rely on the Futuan Live Broadcast. Based on the words spoken by the onlookers, the incident was roughly restored.

The two parties involved in the conflict were the wealthy family with a carriage and Meng's younger brother.

The family's surname was Lian. The reason was that one of Boss Meng's younger brothers molested Miss Lian San's personal maid. The maid complained to Miss Lian San. Miss Lian San was so angry that she asked the family's guards to beat up the little brother.

Boss Meng was not someone to be trifled with, so he came directly to the door with his men. Now the two parties are confronting each other.
