The escape system takes me to dig for treasures
Chapter 22 Picking up someone
"Why does it feel like our carriage is moving a lot slower?"
Jiang Li drove the carriage for most of the day, and it felt like she had only traveled thirty or forty miles.
"Are there too many people and the things are too heavy?"
Mr. Jiang asked.
After Jiang Li went into the city to buy some things, the carriage became indeed more crowded. Two quilts were now tied to the roof of the carriage and covered with tung oil cloth.
"No, what I bought is not too heavy."
Jiang Li replied, and at the same time, she remembered that she left in a hurry and had no chance to go into the city with Mr. Lin to buy another carriage.
I earned two hundred taels of silver from two restaurants by making salt, which was enough to buy a carriage.
There was no way to go back, so I could only make do with it and move on.
After walking for the second half of the day, everyone was feeling hungry. Now that they were not without food, they stopped to cook.
Several people packed up and took down the stove, preparing to wash rice for cooking.
Jiang Youli helped Mr. Jiang down. Mr. Jiang was still holding a human-high crutch in one hand. It was Jiang Li who described to him that the tree that Jiang Songshu fell down was done by the old man himself, and only half of it was done when it was done. He can walk without being supported.
While several people were busy, there was a sudden loud noise from behind the carriage, which frightened everyone.
Then a childish voice came, "Uncle Xie Kui!"
At this time, everyone in the Jiang family gathered together. Jiang Songshu was very eye-catching. He quickly drew out the two big knives. He and Jiang Li held one each and told the others not to move. The brother and sister moved towards the carriage. Outflank the past.
Contrary to what they expected, what appeared in front of them was a child who was no taller than his buttocks. He was holding a dagger in his hand, his eyes were gleaming fiercely, and he was looking at Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu warily, while behind him lay An eight-foot-tall man was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Children, who are you? Why are you hiding in our carriage!"
Jiang Songshu was the first to speak and asked angrily.
No wonder the horse seemed a little irritable today. He would have only eaten so much food a day, but if he was given extra work but no food, then he would definitely not do it.
The child still didn't speak. He just pointed the tip of the knife at Gracilaria, and then at Jiang Songshu, turning it around.
Jiang Li stepped forward, kicked the dagger away from the child's hand with a kick of her toes, and quickly got the dagger one step ahead of the child.
The little guy suddenly looked like a little lion with explosive hair, "Give me back the dagger!"
"It's reasonable for you to hide in our carriage!"
Jiang Songshu stepped forward to pick up the child, but felt his eyes dazzled for a moment, and the next second he felt as if he had been knocked away by a huge boulder.
"Hiss, it hurts!" Jiang Songshu took several steps back before regaining his balance, clutching his chest and shouting in pain.
The big knife in Jiang Li's hand immediately slashed at the opponent, but the opponent turned away while holding the child.
Just when Jiang Li was about to continue attacking, the opponent threw out a jade pendant and threw it at Jiang Li.
Jiang Lei immediately stopped and reached out to catch it, only to hear the other party say: "This is the reward for this trip. I'm offended."
Touching the warm jade pendant in his hand, the texture is fine, it should be a good thing. He raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him carefully. He was tall and tall. Although his face was flushed and his lips were white, his eyes were still very sharp.
Jiang Li smelled a faint smell of rust, and he was afraid that the man was seriously injured.
Just as he was thinking about it, the person in front of him suddenly fell into a trance.
"What should I do with this person?"
The six members of the Jiang family gathered in front of them, one large and one small, discussing.
The little guy just gave Uncle Xie Kui a mouthful, and at this moment his Uncle Xie Kui fainted, and the other person was still sitting on his Uncle Xie Kui, motionless.
Looking around the Jiang family, he pointed his finger at Jiang Li, "I want her to hug me!"
"You little brat!" Jiang Songshu screamed strangely and stepped forward to pick up the child.
The fried-haired kid was already crawling on top of Jiang Li by his legs, so Jiang Li had no choice but to pick him up and hug him.
"Check if there are any wounds on his body, and give him some water first."
Considering the value of the jade pendant, Jiang Li was kind enough to take her in.
"Sister!" Jiang Baishu didn't look at the man named Xie Kui who Jiang Songshu and the others had arranged for. Seeing Jiang Li holding the child, she was a little jealous and looked at the child with a somewhat hostile look.
Who would have known that the child suddenly turned his head and made a face while being suspicious when being held by Jiang Li?
At this moment, Jiang Baishu almost lost his temper and turned into a pufferfish.
Jiang Li placed the child on a stone and asked him to sit down.
Jiang Youli and Jiang Songshu, father and son, loaded the man into the carriage. According to Jiang Li's instructions, they checked whether there were any injuries on his body and roughly took off the man's clothes.
It wasn't until they saw an arrow wound on the man's body that he could see the bone that the two of them paused. "This, this man can't be a desperado, right?"
"Ali, Ali!"
The father and son quickly called Jiang Li.
Jiang Songshu suddenly remembered that his sister was a woman, so he covered Jiang Youli's mouth and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, let's put on this man's pants first!"
Jiang Youli also realized that no matter how unreliable he was, he was still a father.
Halfway through, the pants were still stuck.
It was the first time that Commander Xie was treated like this. Fortunately, he just managed to wake up for a while, and then he completely passed out.
After a while, the two of them opened the curtain to show Jiang Li outside the carriage, "Ali, look at this man's shoulders!"
"How can ordinary people be injured like this? Why don't we throw him away? Anyway, he is unconscious now. We have searched him and there is nothing else on him. The most expensive jade pendant is already in your hands!"
Jiang Songshu reported to Jiang Leihui.
Jiang Li held her chin in one hand and thought, but didn't answer for a while.
The stone child not far away ran over quickly and hugged Jiang Li's leg, "Throw him, but not me!"
"Little thing, you change your attitude very quickly. Didn't I just call you some kind of uncle?"
Jiang Songshu pulled the child and said.
Jiang Li also teased him, "Why don't we just abandon you? You are a child, and you can't work. You have to take care of your food and drink. If you keep him, he can still work for us when he wakes up!"
The little guy bit his lip, hesitated, and thought for a while, "If you don't throw me away, when I find my aunt, I will ask her to reward you with many, many shiny beads."
Hearing the little guy's words, Jiang Li suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Jiang Dacheng, "Grandpa, did you see the wanted portraits held by the officers and soldiers yesterday?"
Jiang Li didn't notice that the child's long eyelashes fluttered rapidly when he heard her words, and he looked at Mr. Jiang nervously.
Mr. Jiang frowned and thought hard for a long time, and then slowly said: "I was only thinking about asking the court about the arrangements for the people who fled, so I didn't pay much attention."
Everyone present also understood what Jiang Li meant.
